TUESDAY, AUGUST 81. 1897.

A rKUi-KTi ai. summer is too much to hope for, but until nature and oluer conditions make this possible there most oomc the sad days of parting when the pleasant summer lelatiuna must be serered and the summer friends returu once more to their home a The summer has been a particular If pleasant one for the editors ol the .Daily Stab, sod through Its medlumsblp we hare eodearored to make life a little more pleasant for ererjbodj who baa come within our rang* during the summer. We regret the departure ol mao; warm friends, and will look forward with pleasure to the resumption in the season of 1808 of the kiodl; relations which hare existed this season.

The gs; season of 1897 is numbered With things of the past, and Us jn;a and sorrow*, lis successes and failures and Its bopes and despairs are over. It has been to most business people here an agreeable surprise. Not much was expected of It, and more than was ooon'ed upon has been realized. There have been duller seasons, and there bare been far more successful ones. There hare been few failures and great sucoesses bsVd also been lew. ilut it is our Impression that It baa areraged up with fair satisfaction to most people. And when it Is considered that at the opening, prospecu neror were pc we hare reason lor congratulation that rtsuits hare been so pleasing.

The Daily Rtab reached its zenith of popularity during the season just closed sod haa^reeelred warm words of commendation from man; whose judgment we ralus highly. We bare aimed always to publish a seaside paper which would furnish all the news and social gossip and commend Itself to our best people by reason of 1U completeness In this respect, while perlectly dean and pure In erery line. We bare accomplished this, and so thoroughly that we are entitled to claim that this season the a*ai i.y Star has been the only paper to publish alt the news. There has not occurred a social function, whether great or little In Importance, of which The Star has out had a full and accurate aoooont. We hare not used out • columns for the sole purpose of boom, log one or two hotel* or one or two business enterprises to tbe partial oi enfire exclusion of all others, but all bare been accorded oareful attention, and all hare been treated with perfect justice. Our desire has been to msks use ol the paper for the purpose of giriug subetsottsl aid to tbe resort and to every bualueea intuest as well aa to the pleasure of visitor*. That our efforts bare been appreciated the large circulation attained affords convincing evidence. Never io the past fifteen years of- the resort has tbe circulation of any Gape May dally rescued so high a point. We value the confidence and good-will of our summer people thus shown beyond expression. Tbe advertising patronage has been also liberal, and to those who have given tbs matter a thorough test most sstlsfsotnry. Tbe Daily Btak finds no fault with the season of 1897, and folly appreciate* the kind treatment accorded It by all. It would not be proper to oloee this twenty-sixth volume of the Daily Stab without looludlog a few words of ooramendatloD and appreciation for lu faithful associate editors and employes. The summer has been a very busy ooe for the management, hotels labors have been made pleasant by tbe know), edge that there was not so employe in any capacity on tbe premises who could not be implicitly trusted to perform bU part for the best Interests of the business and reputation of tbs Btab. Our associate editors, Dr. J. Willard Liggett and Lewis T. Btevens, who have been for tbe most part In charge of tbe news oolumoa of the paper, hare spared no effort In tbe perfoimaooe of their important dalles sod have been easy congenial and companionable. Messrs. L. K. Hoyer and (J. H. Dlffenderfar have been very eflicleot sa reporters for the great Saturday evening balls and other great events, and have secured detailed descriptions which have not been equated racy and completeness. Mr. Frank Richardsoc on several occasions vs ably assisted at this work, and aU ha proven very popular with Ue ladles. Mr. Rutachman, our South Cape May correspondent, has shown ordinary energy and skill In obtaining all the news of the doings of ths happy colony In that town. In tbe mechanical department Mr. Albert R. Hand, aa foreman of the Daily Stab, has dona remarkably sat tefaatory work and has shown himself master ol all the details of this Impor-

tant position.

Mr. D. W. Griffiths, tbe dean of the foioe of compositors, has bean diet In gulahed by bis aloes attention to duty, •furnishing an example to ths younger mam hare wall worthy of emnl Of ths day force, Mr. Edward 8.

Mr. Horace Deals, In cKaiJe of the circulation, baa given very close and systematic attention to his dalles George Bsndgrsu has distlucnlshed himself as s Gordos and cylinder pi man and baa been always ready willing when called upon. Oar yoongset employe. Ellwood S. Haw), has made a record also. In b Jug always on time sod In doing tbo things which fell to bis portion In careful and systematic manner which would be creditable to a much oldei person. Those bolding the most importaul positions bars been ooonreted wli establishment ior several yrsrs. Lewis T. Stevens, of the editorial staff, juloed ns Id 1689, Mr. L. E. Hoyer In 1892. Of tbe mechanical department Foreman Edward S. Reeves began bis career as as printer In this office In 1890, sod Foreman Albert R. Hand In 1889. Both of the latter acquired tbe trade In this office, though both have bad experience In Philadelphia and other cities. It is a rule in the Stab office t do aa far aa possible Ibe same ployes year after year, and to advance them in order, other things being equal as occasion offers. We have with us. In consequence, icn thoroughly familiar with the way* of the establishment, and no break the harmonious relations which exist, under the most trying cireumstances, hat ever occurred under the present management. Mr. Hand has closed his desk sod <odo home through tbe rain. Tbe 'meet of bis employes has been of the kindest nature, sod none more than they amoerely hope that hit success may always be aa great, sod greater than ever before. Ue has never been known to speak so unkind word to an employe. Good-night.

SURF NOTES. great Dumber of petrous have been beard lo aay that they are going to stay at tbo Cape during September and pert of October, and yeateiday’a crowd of bathers gave full evidence of this fact. Id front of Congiees tbe nnmbi r io ti>e aorf was nearly ae great aa utnal. Although the sun waa bot there was a cool breeze which made It very pleasant. Of course, there are few children to be seen, but they bad to go home to at teud school. One of the handsomest women ou the beaeh. In bathing suit or out, Is Miss Josephine Dowling, of New Y'ork. Yesterday ahe waa eojoylng the splendid bathing. Mlsa Caroline Raymond Taylor is such an attractive and agreeable young lady that Mr. Walter N. Yates, the popular Cape May beau, finds it pleasant to bathe Io tbe South Cape May aurf occasionally.

Champagne Supper. A moat delightful champagne supper was given last night by Mr. de Woliant to a party of friends, oonaiatiug of Judge Jackrou, of West Virginia; Mr sod Mr. W F Tatnall, Dr and Mrs C L Bowes and Alexander Zelanoy. Toasts, obampage, crabs, etc., occupied tbe attentioDilon of this congenial party for several bourn.

SOUTH CAPE MAY. One more summer has come gone. The high winds, tbe southward flight of tbe swallows, the oom! tbe hawks, the shortening of the days, and the lengthening of the nights all proclaim the dying summer and beaald tbe ooming of antnmn. With this teene we stack our pen for another year. The referee’t wl has sounded and tbe merry, game c idle and do nothing, which we have been playing lor tbe past two m on the l* ended. Wbat te tbe score.’ been awlnmug or a losing game T This is a question each unit answer ior himself, and we doubt not that there will be answers of both kinds. Tlic summer of ’97 la without i allel; It waa a surprise to many, and Is another luatauee of the old saylog poor beginning often bringa a good eudlog.” And a .decidedly bad beginning it was, too Tbe 1st of July one-half tbe cottage* unoccupied and neither the New Monnt Vernon or Beaeh Villa were dolog half well. But later on tbe old oomera began to think that South Cape May, without a boardwalk or beach drive, was not a after all, aud ooe after another they came, and here and there, whei old oomera did pat in an appearance, an equal number of new comen took

their places.

In a general recapitulation of the summer's doings we apeak first of church. Tbe fourth season of tbe Union Auditorium opened oo Sunday, July lltb, with a sermon by Rev. E. P. Stitce, of Cape May, who has preached tbe Initial sermon here elnoe the font datlon of Ihe Auditorium. This year the building waa moved from Its original site on tbe beacb front to a sheltered spot on Tenth avenue, the coat of moving being collected by subscription. Eight morning meetings were held during July and August, the average attendance being about 53, and tbe Word of God was delivered by such able aud well-known speakers ea Rev. E. P. Stitee, J. R. Wilton, A. R. Toy, George D. McCreary, J. A. Green and Rev. Mr. Townsend. Several properties changed bands and one new oottage, that of Mr. Austin Graham, was erected. The New Mount Vernon was le by Mr. L. Msddook, and under bis management 1897 proved to be tbe banner year lor this hotel. Mias F. Gable's house, Beacb Villa, was I second season managed by Mrs. E. E. Pfersich, sod alter the middle of July the register was kept full up to the end

of the season.

The bathing la far superior to that of numerous other waterlog place# and hundreds enjoyed tbe salubrious effects of this healthful pastime. Following bathing, cycling proved to be tbe most popular sport, aud bad South Cape May rosd. are we bad o full quota of riders. There were li mid-summer aportam-n here this season red the report of the shot-gun waa

seldom heard.

Crabbing cams Into favor lu August. Tbe alulcc-gsle and adjoining creeks been pretty thoroughly fished out during previous summer*, and tbe few crabs that were left were none too ohoior. so tbe majority of crabbers out out from Sobellenfer's Land ug, id all bi ought boms reaps liable bag , Last but not least ws must speak o f ic caid parries. Any number of moroig, allernooo and evening eochic parties were given at cottages, tbe New Mount Vernon and Beach Villa Tbe well-known South Cape May Ladles’ Euchre Club waa reorganized aud a number of new membeis admitted.

Great Crowd at the Game -ICESIX TO NINE IN THE VISITORB’ FAVOR. _ICE— The Gape# Come Out Bettor than They Expected—Errors, Pet-, spiration. Collisions, Buns, and Foul Balls Prevent the Gaine from Getting Monotonous. —iOENot for many yean have there been such a crowd oo the Cape May base ball field aa there waa yesterday. Long before tbe excursion train arrived were the stands filled, sod when the thousands from Philadelphia who came down to witness the game began to pour In It looked as if many woold have to * pend the afternoon elsewhere. Not only were both stands crowded bat people were lined off all aronnd the field Even tbe bloyole shed crowded. In fact, everywhere tbe eye oonld see around the gronnds waa black wlib people. And It was but, bat withstanding the beat tbe immense crowd was good-humored, and i the great game began sun, beat and everything else was forgotten. It has been many days aiuoe such a game wi played here. It took tbe old stagers back to tbe ’80'a, when the champion Detroit team played here The Interest and excitement waa Intense, and wl McGrillls weuld make ooe oi bis aeii tlonsl stops the applause would have done credit to a University foot-ball game. Aod wbat a game McGrillls played! Tbe Leaguers looked at b with wonder. They never expected find a shortstop such as that ou amateur team- He truly played wonderful game. Id fact, there waa not a man on the team that did not play bail a* If he was playing for bis Ilf e, and bad It not been for tbe Cape's crippled condition In tbe pitcher's box tbe soore would have been different. Roy Thomas, who started to pitch, waa taken ill tn’ 1 -* third inning and waa compelled retire. “Speedy” Boswell took hit plaoe, aud iboush handicapped with an extremely sore finger which did not permit blm-te throw a speedy curved bal 1, be pitched a great game. Be gave but four bases oo balls, aud did not hit a man, and the Phillies only touched him up for five hits. Tbe visitor! did not eeem to know exactly wbat to do, and several limes were away up Id tbe air, while Captain Scannell kept nil team lu great shape. This laok of team work on tbe part of tbe Phillies resulted In a collision between Ortb aud Sbugart, aud the latter was knocked unconscious, aud was rr - tired from the game. Everybody seemed of the opinion that Rodgers waa away off yesterday on balls and strikes, aud many of his decisions esueed unpleasant remarks, which be look stoleally. The Game by Innings.
