weather permits our excellent lucycle roads areenjoj-ed to the full. There are numerous route* which bicyclists may enjoy not indmlnl in the dty limits. The road to Cape May Point h* excellent, ami affords an opportuuitv for a pleaaaut ride of almut three milte each way. Turning north wanl on Broadway a bicycle path extends to Court House, twelve miles away, along attractive country ruada. On tiie hay aide the roads are good for a distance of thirty mile* to the county line, and from Court House on the Seaside tlie ride may lie extended for twenty mills or more to Tm-kahoe or Ileesley’ Point, Sea Ule City or Ocean City, and the country in any direction is attrac-

There are aeveral point* still to be taken into consideration, among which may l* mentioned the missing link, which should be supplied for the connection of South Cape May by a continuous drive and boardwalk- The South Cape May people are about to take step- to erect a substantial sea wall ami board walk, and if the missing link were supplied it would add a couple miles to our beach board walk promenade. The matter should be taken into early consideration. The superiority of Oa|ie May as a seaside toaort is conceded by everybody, ami ita cliief need is the provision of such improvements and facilities jk make the must of our naluaOad
