Btforr the largest crowd ever a> bled in Wildwood ba»eball park to wilneu aganie. Cape May Wednesday presenleil the game to the local team “Too many errors explains the score" said Manager Charles T. Campbell, of the Cape May baseball club. “Wildwood made five runs in the first Inning without making a safe hit. That tells the whole business. We were up against a fast club, practically a professional team, and our own club because it has not had sufficient practice, and is weak in spots. We beat ’em next Wednesday, though, for our team will be greatly strengthened, and we will put up a very different

game.”

Wildwood’s pitcher yesterday is. Princeton man, and a very fast 01 HU south paw shoots were difficult for the Cape May young men. And, with that fact admitted, had Cape May have supported the fine work of their battery, we would heve won. Better work U expected of Manager Campbell’s ball tossers next .Saturday.

Bathing yesterday, was an unadulterated Joy—The surf was perfect, and the bathing hour brought out Its quota of lovers of old ocean. As usual a great number of tiny tots were in the surf having Ihe glorious lime of child-

hood.

Two interesting Brooklyn sisters, the Misses Msy and Isabel Oakley grace the Cape May strand, this being their first eemson. Their bathing suits substantial black mobair, prettily trimmed with red and very becoming. The Misses Oakley are grand nieces of the late Judge J jsepb E. Hughes, ol

ibis city.

Among the beautiful women who adorn the strand this season is Mrs. Leopoldl. She la a very striking brunette, fond of bathing, and consider* "ape May the finest bathing beach she has ever seen, surpassing that of Oslend, Trouville and ail other foreign resorts. Mr. and Mr*.Leopoldl are from Cincinnati, O., and this Is their lint Cape May. They are friends

of Adam Suelke.

The Misses Conklin, two beautiful young ladies from the Stockton surf

seen daily on the strand at

the bathing hour. Dmsed in white silk bathing suits with baby blue' ' rimmings, blue turbans, blue hosiery

white sandals, they make •

most attractive appearance both on

the beach and in the surf.

‘Him and her” are seen on every hand, at every bathing hour on the Cape May strand, w hether bathing or walking, he’s bolding her hand, forgetting there’s any one else in the land. That is to say young hearts are bound to go in pairs. Perfectly nat-

ural, you know. .

By the way, G. Bolton Eld red ge Is a plendid young fellow, as everybody knows, and little wonder Is it that he should select for his bathing companion so fine a girl as Miss Lida Lengert. Miss Lengert bathes in plain black, but the garment Is of such excellent material, and becomes her fair form so well, that site Is always greatly

admired.

Some girls are set upon having a male escort into the surf at any Price, but no girl can capture Mr. Fred Price hen Miss Lina Kennedy is on the drand. Young hearts are beating so briskly In merry unison with the ounding billows. Strolling beside the moonlit sea lese beautiful evenings is conducive .0 health and happiness. It is a pasmce receative and inspiring, is we contemplate “natures greatest mysteries."
