Cape May an Old Favorite and a New. The Philadelphia “fiedger" on Sunday ■aid:— Cape May itself is by no means new. It was discovered by Captain Cornelius Jacobsen May. of the good ship Blyde Boodschap—that Is. Good Tidings-se early as 1030. It waa a favorite resort for Philadelphian-, a century ago. when the trip bad to be made by carriage. But its new dev el op in em has regard to the Impetus gf a practical ambition to briog a plant already adequate to demands of a permanent dity and a constant army of visitors, to* pitch of greater wealth, dignity and scope, in response to the growing demand of the all tbr-yesr pilgrimage. Eor Cape May City is evidently fitted and placed to be the resort r.f those who wish to have their families at the shore within easy reach and be with them frequently, without deserting their business. The city has all that such a city will require—efficient 'municipal government, banks, churches, schools and newspapers, and the spirit of growth is slive within 1L The boardwalk and boulevard are at present being extended. and s seawall is la coarse of construction. ' The usual social features obtain at tbfc Jtotcla and cotinges, and out of doors is offer, d the choice of golf, tennis, rowing, boating, bunting and fishing in season. The golf links comprise sixty acres of well-laid-»ut grounds, with putting greens that are a delight aud a club that is the daytime casinoof the place. The drives in the country about are graced wit* the great esseutisl of good roads, level stretches ot sand-graveled build. %apc May is -more than three-fourths snrrt unded by water, aud on the mainland juncture is wooded with a shelter of pine against winds from the north.

A Huatling Contractor.

The spirit of progress is marching along With rapid strides in Holly Beach, there r* evidence of Improvements to be Been on every hand. Aa an evidence of this fact, let us take, for instance, the trauaactiona of one contractor and t er. Wm. T. Garrison. From the first of September t»the first of December last he haa received 76 car-loads of lumber, aad daring thy month of December alone he paid out 81214.4& in freight. On on* car-load of redsr shingle*, from British Colombia the freight was 8844.48. Contractor Garrison haa thirty-seven men in his employ, aad be pay* out about 8400 every week in wage*. During the period mentioned *' Gairiaon has had the contracts for house*, the combined cost being 881400. In oue car-load, received during thD time, there was 80,000 plastering lath, which, in lineal iii.-aau rement, would be 810JUT ‘ These facta aud figures will prove Holly Beach is growing rapidly, aad that iu future Is brighter than ever before.
