Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode

Island, is expected to-day.

Tut State Board of Taxation mi County Board of Assessors yesterday morning at City Hall, Cape May, and examined the assessment* of the county. Everything was declared satisfactory, and the State Board thanked the members of the county board for the courteous manner In which they received the visitor*, and the aid they gave them • In looking over the books.

The deep ara fishing grounds of Cape May are the shoals known as Fathom Bank. They are five miles off shore and about fifteen mile* from Cape May, and the sail from here to ground* la one of the most exhilarating of experiences. There are ^Iways sela ready to make the trip, and t are many who visit ns who com among the rarest of their enjoyments. The scenes at sea and along shore constantly vary and increase the pleasure, and even a touch of ami de merdoea not prevent enjoyment, but may be included among the unique experience* which are worth enduring for so grand a recreation. The fishing requires considerable exertion which civea the keenest pleasure, and the number of fish which may be caught is only limited by the length of time devoted to the sport. It is one of those incidents in life which one who first enjoy* the experience never forgets and always looks back upon with the liveliest satisfaction. The after-experience of the voyager who returns to this gay city, tired and hearty, la restful and a proper complement to the day's association with the sea and nature. Bleep, deliciously sound and dreamless, naturally follow*, and one feel* new life thrilling him when he arises next morning. A visit to Cape May la Incomplete without this exjieri-

Tiikke it a feeling of dullness abroad

so far as it relate* to the bnsineaa of

seashore resorts. There is no gulaing the fact, business at thi shore hotels all along the line, so

we can learn, la rather flat, generally

speaking, though here and there exception*. It goes to show the mu uinty of “aeasona," and how little

can count on large patronage and big

money. An early boom waa givei Capo May, in a measure, but this by a special feature that could leave nothing In Its train. The weather has not been steadily clear and warm needed for large sad steady latnmage. Finance* In Philadelphia hare slaughtering people's account* In vari-

ous ways, all brought about by the

rascally scheming of bad men, and many a person, indeed, whole families feel Urn effect* raffielenlly to cause the shorten the limit of their summer pleasures. Gradually, however, this dull feeling la being worn away, aa train now brings in person* who have coma fur a full midsummer sojourn. The same feeling exists at Atlantic City where so many Imagine there la always a great rush and Immense pro*]

The truth is the houses there lave

fewer people in them now than oui

only that there being so many more hotels they of coarse carry down larger

numbers, but the distribution makes the pro rata lew than as our One good house there that n carries about 100 guests In the middle of July, had only 35 this season. Cape May is not as large a resort aa pthera, but she la no *' slower.”

The Daily Union at Atlantic City is vslliant defender of that resort, and fo

Tbe most distinguished •talesmen,-literatcur* and professional men have almost continuously, for the greater part of a century, visited Cape May, and the wealth represented by cottage resident* here, in the aggregate, reaches a fabulous amount. "Art" may hare done much for Atlantic. Undoubtedly it haa. It was necessary that it should, but if " nature ” had done so much as it to accused of having done by the Union, it would not have been necessary for tbe Union, in 1889. to deliberately appropriate the State Geologist's glowing tribute to Cape May’s advantages, the result ofyear* of investigation and comparison, and by pub-

lishing It, substituting the m
