CURE urn. CAPE Mir. CAPE Mir. THE COOLEST SEASIDE SUWMEB RESORT ON THE ATLANTIC COAST ^ Reached by Reading and Pennsylvania Railroads, and over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Central R. R. of New Jersey. FOURTEEN EXPRESS TRAINS DAILY TO AND FROM THE REPORT.

By comparative official Government observations, Cape May is from 3 to 10 degrees cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter than any other Resort on the Atlantic Coast north of Florida. ] It stands on a peninsula jutting out between the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay. As a HEALTH RESORT it is unsurpassed. Equitable and dry climate. It is the Horae of Fashion and Wealth in the Summer season, with a history of one hundred years as such. Splendid hotel accommodations. THE BOULEVARD stretches along the ocean front, just inside the Boardwalk, and along it during the fashionable driving hours of the day are seen hundreds of fine equipages and automobiles, while their occupants can enjoy at the same time an uninterrupted view of Old Neptune. THE FINEST BEACH STRAND IN THE WORLD IS HERE THE BOARDWALK is a splendid esplanade, over three miles in length, with unobstructed views of the ocean. FISHING, SAILING, GUNNING, and the kindred sports in both still and rough waters. Large fleet of public yachts. BATHING. A highly valued feature of many of the hotels are the hot and cold sea water baths, both public and private. Cape May Possesses the Finest Sea Bathing in the World, because its beach is smooth, with a gradual descent into the water. There are no holes or gulleys, atW no life lines are required. DRIVING, RIDING, ETC. Miles of Beautiful Streets and Avenues. Good roads through the adjacent country. GOLF. The lirilJs of the Cape May Golf Club, among the finest in the United States, are open throughout the Summer. Frequent tournaments. THE COTTAGE COLONY is a distinguished feature, made up of residents of the leading cities of the Union. It is a SHORE RESORT with all the advantages of a Country Place, because it is the only resort on the Coast on the main land not on a sanded island, and along its avenues are trees with verdant foilage. THE MARKETS are the best, with fresh vegetables gathered from farms in the adjoining country.

SPRING OPENING

"A Boyal Train, Believe He."

Henry VIII

When Shakespeare wrote of Royal Trains, *uch royal magnificence in traveling accommodations at now exist were

not even dreamed of. A middle-age traveloi who has for a life-time

well equipped railroad aervioe, is himscll

if Uh

r of modern times been used to fairly

is himself

surprised when be boards one of the Reading System's hourly trains running between Philadelphia and New Y'ork, and iu describing the equipment is very likely to quote Shakespeare's phrase, “A

Royal Tram, Believe Me." This also applies in i

Philadelphia, and Libert) . . York, leaving each Terminal weekdays, every hour from 7 a. ro. to 7 p. m. in their rapid flight to the other Terminal, drawn by powerful, fast locomotives burning hard coal, thus eliminating all smoke and cinders, and running over a smooth track ou a well bailaaUki, dustloas roadbed, are the very semblance of a Royal Progress. Another wav: These trains leaving the Terminal "Every time the Clock Strikes" pursue their awlft course to destination without stop or hindrance, the local trains being arranged to allow them a clear track, the same as in mouarchiacal countries, the ordinary citizen stands aside from the Royal p»lhwav._ When next you visit New Y'ork, take one of these trains leaving Reading Terminal, Philadelphia, "Every Time the Clock 8trikes" and you will notice many resaons why ypu should aay "A Royal Train, Beiicvo Me.”
