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 RESORT.

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 Home of Fashion and Wealth in the Summer season, with a history of oik- 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 ampmohiles, 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 ds 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 bench is smooth, with a gradual descent into the water. There are no holes or gulleys, and nd life lines are required. DRIVING, RIDING, ETC. Miles of Beautiful Streets and Avenues. Good roads through the adjacent country. GOLF. The links of the Cape May Golf Club, among the finest in the United States, are open throughout flic 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, arid along its avenues are trees with verdant foilage. THE MARKETS are the best, with fresh vegetables gathered from farms in the adjoining country. f

It has been suggested that a memorial window be placed In Westminster abbey In honor of the late Duke of - Westmlnater. Considerable Indignant protest la being heard on the ground that su**i honor should be reserved for really great men. One critic says: “He was merely a good average duke of a kind that we brepd ns cosily as we breed good average grocers. It la Intolerable that Westminster abbey should be spoiled to do ffn posthu-
