Sei-Dom has Cape May carried so fell a season to as late a date as the 2olh of August sa she has held this year, but voice the opinions of many of Cape May's oldest habitues, when we claim that (van inCougrtaaHsira palmiest days of the olden time, so often referred to In comparison to the later seasons, thenwere seen about its portals in it* vc,, rands*, parlor* and halls so late in August, such crowds and such social ^a; e:y as were witnessed there during Kslurday and Sunday last. It w season throng, and a good mid-season, too. Elsewhere tbeie were host* of peopie, also, as noted In the Stau yesterday morning. Bo far a* true iKijiularity and the favor of excellent patronage goes. Cape May has a liberal share, and it “ sticks closer than a brother," despite all opposing forces of financial sUingency, unfavorable weather, rival resorts, or what not. Rut for the change of weather yesterday, there would have been a remarkably good closing week of the season ; good, really, as It Is. Tux early fall cottage season at Cape May bid* fair to excel any past seasons, for the reason that we have had a larger number of families to occupy cottages, it is quite certain, and then, too, all moat excellent, well-to-do people, honor to any community, a class who appreciate the high and pure social atmosphere that prevails here. Many families are here this year, and their cottage lift has been marked by steady enjoyment of all that goes to make thoroughly happy and beneficial reason, made up of health, recreation and pleasure. Our intercourse with the splendid cottage colony of 1891, personally and editorially, ha* been of a very pleasant The Dailt Btak has been

The Pr-skdentiai party graced the. affair by their presence, and Baby] McKee and hi* sister gave beany encouragement to Mis* Clayton, by their genuine deligb. at tier dancing. Tin perloimanoe opened with a concert by Haasler a orchestra. Then fo!_lowed Bessie Clayton in akin and band- j kerchief dances. Madame Bnelke and Mlas Stuart sang ; a dui-t, after which Elsie Newkirk de-; lighted the audience by her “ Picksninny dance, though Baby McKee was at Aral rather alaimed by the little black figure appearing so suddenly be-

fore him.

Little Miss Mrllhenny danced lb* Scotch Fling, and the performance ended by Keaaie Clayton's Tambourine Clog and Poor Jonathan dances, in all of which she showed the result* of bard work and patient study. Sba is engaged for the coming season with John C. Rice’s Company, In" A Knotty Affair,'' and will appear at the Arch Street Theatre, I'hiladelpbia, the second week in October. Nothing but earnest wishes foi success can attend the little girl who baa ao faithfully worked in a profession which is both hard and trying, and w# hope that her future will amply repay her for her present efforts. Mrs. Cake's kindness in extending her patronage to the little dancer is only one of her many acta of generosity to those whom she deems worthy of her good jrill and sympathy.
