One of the handsomest residence* in Cape Mar is that of Charles H. Dougherty, of Philadelphia, who owns the whole block surrounded by Washington, Jefferson, franklin and Corgic street* During the past winter many thousand dollars have been expended making this property what it is to-, day. The grounds a.t tastefully laid out with shrubbery, vines and flowers, and the Misses Dougherty were expected to have entertained largely there during the season, bnt death entered the family within the last month and the social world will, therefore, be disappointed for the season and be compelled to wait until the proper period of mourning has passed.

Holly Beach R

The Cape May County Freeholders met last Thursday at Rio Gipade to go over the road which has recently been constructed by Senator Kobewf U.

After the meeting, the board and other eouaty official* were entertained at dinner at the residence of Senator Hand, at Knna. On Friday the I ward met at Holly Beach and in the presence of the State road superintendent who approved the road, and the county therefore accepted the contract and paid to Sent tor.

The testimony occupies the Court about three days in the week. weather conditions, however, have not bad any effect upon preventing lovers of fishing from going to the sounds nearby and enjoy the handling of the hook and line. There have been many exenrsious of this kind and those who have gone on them have had excolleut lock in catching Cape May gooda and weak fish. The bathing, which has been good for some time past, ts getting better as the iu advances, and the number who go in the surf has nearly reached the normal summer proportions. They all report the ocean as excellent and of healthful temperature and the usual crowds appear on the beach at the fashionable bathing hour. Woodbi'^ was honored hr the presice of F.

Our New Train Service.

In order to accommodate the rush of visitors who are coming to Cape May, both the Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad systems put into effect their complete summer schedules of trains last Saturday morning. As a consequence of the addition of the regnlariy daily express trains and the extra Sunday afternoon expi train the town has been well tilled and there has been added to^he population of the reaort a substantial number of vtaitora. While the hotels have been gradually filling up the cottagers have been doing the same, it- is no unusual thing for a cottager to have among his gnesu aa many person* as compos* his family and'consequently during the days near Sunday this part of the summer colony is about twice as large

The season has opened auspiciously, world of society has been set in full motion, and the event* which are taking place are well sttended end are Iwing thoroughly enjuved by fie partici-

pants.

While Philadelphia, of courae. take* the lead in tbe number of visitor* here, otberdties come in with large contingents. so that the mingling of these crowds give to the place s cosmopolitan appearance, and make a diendty which is thoroughly appreciated by those who have been coming to Cape May for yAars, and who for many seasere only able to find, for the part, residents of their own city of Brotherly I-ove. The scenes last Saturday evening in the hotel lobbies, along the boark walk and abont the principal slrev-u of Uie resort are such as have been seen in p*8t seasons of busy Saturday nights of the summer A great m*oy of the guests who now arrive are those who have come to remain throogbout the <nmmer, others are here for over Sonlay,tand others who come regularly on Friday or Saturday during the remainler Of the season. Cape May is unlike some of the resorts on the more northern coast of New Jersey from the fact that the visitors are not of the excursion element who come in the morning tod return at night and eat bat the one neal here. It has come to be, in common with other places, that there is a very targe contingent who come down Friday or Saturday to remain until Monday. These visitors, however, are principally young men. and their appearance here on Saturday to participate particularly in the Saturday evening dances, is a welcome change for tbe fair sex, who thronghoht the week outnumber the men three to one, and who are compelled in the mid-week events to dance with each other or not at all. During these time* the men are at a premium, but on Saturday nights Uie conditions are (eversed, and there is a struggle as to who will be the lucky girl in securing s partner for the dance.

Tbe Journalists Visit.

Over at the mammoth Stockton Hotel, which is not only the largest hotel in Gzpe May, bnt one of the largest the New Jersey coast with its onequarter of a mile of broad piazzas, there a particularly brightocene from the fact that it was entertaining exclusively about four hundred of the best newspaper men of the country, who are stationed at Washington and in Philadelphia and Baltimore as tbe direct ora of tbe press of those important cities. With them were their wives and lady friends, and H u needless to say that a good time was had by this crowd at this hosUerie. They have been devoted principally to riding, driving, boeting, and not a few of them were taken by Mr. Boyd, the general passenger agent

of the Pennsylvania Railroad, to tbe golf links where they enjoyed going over the course with Mr. Boyd who Is an enthusiastic flayer and who has msde envctml records on the local links. Last Saturday night there was a ball in honor of this set of rudtors, and the evsatf was not only participated in by them but by a large number of the cottage colony of tbe eastern end of the reaort.
