Mr. Erwin thinks there is only one town on tbe entire Atlantic beach, and that is Cape May. It t. 80 miles from Philadelphia to Cape May and It ia 70 from Philadelphia to Atlantic City. Atlantic City catches the great crowds, but Cape May does pretty well, for while it does not have the cosmopolitan assemblages that make Atlantic City a picturesque spel. It bai s uormsl sum. tner population of 73,000. Mr. Erwin siys the people who go to Cape May are rather more ezaluslve and select than those who patronize Atlantic City, for that is more of a Coney Island sort ot a plsos that Cape May. Before the war Cape May was the most popular nlaoe on the coast with sonthern people, but they shunued it for s long time after the rebellion, ud have only begun to come back in lumbers during late year*.
