By comparative official Government observations, Cape May is from 3 to to 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 nnsurpassed. Equitable and dry climate. It is the Home 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 cquijKiges and automobiles, while their occupants can enjoy at the same time an uninterrupted view of Old Neptune. THE FINEST BEACH STRAND IN THE W6RLD IS HERE THE BOARDWALK is a splendid esplanade, over three mile* in iengih, with unoosirucieu views of the ocean. i 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, and no life lines arc required DRIVING, RIDING. ETC. Miles of Beautiful Streets and Avenaes 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 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 COUHTRY 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. r* ' THE MARKETS arc the best, with fresh vegetables gathered from farms in the* adjoining country
