No better evidences w to convince one of the fact that tbe town was solidly packed over Sunday than w^lneta the groat throngs of people about the hotel corridors, up< streets, upon tbe board walk and entertainmcuU during Satuiday evening and Sunday evening. And then the liathing hours of Sunday witnessed such continuous Hues of bathers and sj*ectators aa reminded one of tbe beat atasotu of tbe long ago. Indeed, Cape May baa trot bad so prosperous a time for several year* as ibis present month of August la giving it. And it requires steady, heavy business for several weeks to overcome the the total anmmer expenses of hotel management and leave to the manager a properly compensating surplua. Tbe Stak sincerely hopes for a continuance of profitable huslneai fo

all.

Tbejiafially correct I*dgrr, of Philsdel phis, la not correct In the following assertions made in it* Cape May letter on Saturday last: ‘Tl would hardly he fair to aay that Cape May has lieen crowded during tbe past week, hut nearly all the hotels are comfortably filled. More people are seen about, however, than previously, ami It tan truly he said that the season has not really begun to wane.'' Cape May hotels, with very few exceptions, hsve been turning away guests frequently during the pm two weeks, and the city for the paat week has been "crowded" enough to suit even an extravagant desire. There la not the aligbteut indication that the season is about to "wane " Indeed, the prospects now are that it has not by any means reached ita height. There arc some correspotideuu who seem to desire to discourage Cane May's prosperity and it ia a pity that inch papers aa tbe reliable sod admirable l*dfftr are occasion illy deceived

The Philadelphia /Vea« puhllthed N^rday the fol lowing very clear state. f of the struggle for the congress nomination on tbe Republic 10 in the First Congress!,.nil District: “In the First Diatriet, the fight has narrowed itself down to II. C. leiudcnalager, County Clerk of Gloucester, and Christopher A. Bcrg.c, who has twice sat to Congress. The tight as It progresses is interesting because of 1U closeness. The main argument used r nst Bergen was that It was against tradition of the diatriot for a man to have a third term. Loudeusiager who is considerable of a hustler, his secured delegates In nearly evety couuty.and the fight Ueo close that It h now thought that a third man may come io and some predict that It will be Senator Walter S. Learning, of Capa May." Another prominent factor in the matter ia, ,1.., for sixty years Cape May has been repreaeuted by congressmen from other counties and it will be ve-y 111 treatmeet If it la passed over again: certainly It should not be ignored in, order to grant a third term to Mr. Bergen

That Cape May le having presented to her ]>eople this season an unusually splendid run of amusements goes without saying. And that they have had and are having a hearty appreciation soother pleasing fact. May we c add, also, that Cape May baa this su: mer a moat Intelligent, cultured and refined patronage, to whom come offered entertainments with good grace aod becoming Interest. With thin thought we cannot refrain from say lug a word of praise for Mr. C. Garvin Gil.

President Barr, of the Wilkcsbarre team, had some negotiation* with tbe Cape May team for game* at Cape May before tbe last^ate league meeting at Allen and, receiving assurance that bis terms would probably be accepted, left three dates open purposely for Wagenhurst. He wrote a letter in brief that be would "give the Wilke*barre team railroad fare from J ohm town to Cape May and return to Wilkoabarrc, pay Hotel ex■Jienscs at Cape May amt give 675 cash

for three games."

Barr wired an acceptance and wrote a letter ooutinning the arrangement, and after five days' dela^ received a telegram from Wagenhnrat late last night saying "it was too Me in the season to pay such guarantee, and that the games

would be considered off.’ "

A Stab reporter called the above to tbe attention of Wagenhurst, who ia not manager of the Cape May team, by the way, but Iu captain, and be explained that be had dickered with tbe Wilkcsbarre people hut had not madr any contract or any promises, and con-
