^5 adeiphia Evenlnfc Hulletin. ^hns*initiala leads y» to «n*|ieet that b» is himself a Whilldin. (2V. A. W,) pos stilly Alexander, recently furnished some intercut!tig data coucerhtng the carlv Wbilldina. of Delaware River steamboat -fame, — the Whllldlns so closely Identified w ilh'Cspc May families even to this day. -Penn," the prolific writer of ‘Men ami Things" ‘column of the •Bulletin, made up a decidedly intervating article Irom the data furnished as a basis. In it ue find some points of historical value which hitherto have escaped us in making up articles for our local papers liearing upon the early history of Cape May in connection with the moans of communication then afforded visitor^ to this resort, when reference has been made to steamboats which in those days made regular frips from Philadelphia. Por many year- up to 18C3, the point mi the Delaware Bay koo *11 so familiarly .1* -The Steamboat Landing,"reached by _» turnpike leading from Cape Island Bridge, head of Perry street, w as of great importance as the place of arrival and departure of nearly all of Cape May’s pattons of those days. We find that in 1840 tne elder Wilmmi Whilldin bought the."Sun,” on the Hudson, and brought bet-to the Delaware, placing her on the Cape >fry summer trips She was one of the best known boats of the time up Jo 1850, plying; afterward between Phitad’a and Uurliiijyton, Bristol and Trenton. The Whllldius were in those days extensively engaged 10 alcamboat ciiterptUcs 0(1 the Delaware, as not a few old reeideota of the cape will remtjnbcr. Cape May’a vcteranjjottager, Sebastian A. Rudolph, rciuerabere that he made his fiist trip to Cape May, in the aumroer of 1851, in one of their boats, the Kennebec. The first Wilmon W hilldin.who went up from Cape M»y, was the first to place steartilioata on •the Delaware, waa one of the best known captains 011 the Cape May route. When the Camden and Amboy Railroad Oponcd, it was one of tbo WbiUdin’a who brought ground from New 5 ork the Bolivar and ran lier as a competitor U> the new railroad, running the fare down from a half dollar to alx cents. But a few years after Fulton put the Clermont on the Hudson, Whilldin waa in command of the Delaw are, said to have been placed 011 the river about 1812. The second' steamboat w:is tbe'Jiew .Tcrscy, whicli was placed on the line to Baltimore in 1816. And then was the Phoenix. The first steam ferryImal U-tVeen Camden and Philadelphia was the Camden, built by Joseph BIspham and commanded Kellum. About this time the senior Wbilldin’a sou, Wilmon WbitWin, Jr., Commaded the Bolivar. Tor thirty .years t here were a dozen or more boats on the river with which the Whllfdloa, father and sou. were identified. It was in 1850 that the Telegraph while racing on the way to Cape May, exploded her boiler,, ^and one of the victims was Thomas Masarv^-ownei of the Koscdale Mills, Ddawsre, grand father in Mrs. M. H. Hull', of the Chalfoute Hotel, and Mrs. • T. IL Brooks, ol the Carroll Villa. It was In the Cape May service that the crack l«.ats of the period Indore the Civil War were most cnnsj.iciona, and It Whilldins who Instituted thi* service, the Ohio was looked ufion as the Qqeim of < ape May boaU. There mas'also tbcAme-. lira, and on these tlie fare was 6 2,50, or M-asou tickets for 6 JO. Then came cu iN-titors, of which we will speak later.

FOR A NEW CHURCH. Father He Callen's Lecture In Aid of the Fund. Father Kelly, pastor of St. Mary’s R. C. CBiurch of tMs city, has for some time keen eufergeUcI^ moving in the direction of creating a fund for the purpose ot erecting s new stone structure to take the .ilacc of the frapte church occupied for the past thirty-five ycara.The grounds and fiout of the property have recently been Improved that they have acted as an Incentive to have also an improved house of worship.

ment.

In aid of the cause Rev. J, A. Me Cal. lep, 8. 8, of Baltimore, on Thursday evening delivered his interesting lecture, •‘Man, King of the Hume, - Woman, the Queen.” In a most eloquent manner both the religious and domestic features of home life were commented upon In such way a» to leave impressions upon the ilnds of many that cannot fail to be far reaching In good results.

There i* no more apetidng feature of the Republic's catering than the splendid fish suppers, which have alway been in high favor m-ith the excursioutat*. During the two or three hour* at Cape May many of the excursionists spend their time fishing, and frrquctly make grod catches. These they tnru over to the Republic’s accommodating steward; who has them specially prepared for them for supper. But it is not necessary to catch fish to get a fine fish supper. There is alway* an abundant supply aboakd the Republic, taken daily from the Cxpc May Steamboat Company's private fish pounds at Cape May Point.

TT MUST BE that a quarter of a cen1 tury has passed since the organization of the South Seaville Camp Mooting Association. We regret not being able to give the date, so we can only announce that the annual gathering upon Us ground just west of Searilic station, on the W. J. & 8. R. R, twenty miles from Cape May City, for the worship of God In the tented grove began Us sessions on Thursday of this week, July 17. Mingled joy and sadness marks the countenances of many found in attendance upon these meetings Some find simply a worldly gratification In their visits to the sacred ground; others feel the joys of a sanctified life spring up as they contemplate tbe mercies of God and feci tbe assurance of a blessed Immortality. But many hearts, more than t)re think, are made sad as they reflect upon the meetings of the past, and call to mind many of their friends who joined with them in praise and prayer ujmjii this spot in the day’s gone *>y, when Jesse II. Dlverty was president of the board of directors, Thomas M. Russell was screury : when tbe board had for its members such men as Anthony Steelman, Samuel Steel-iiii^l-S. B.
