The first move toward* establishing a second railroad tltrough Cape May county wa» by Logan M. Bullitt, of Philadelphia, and Jame* E. Taylor, of Cape May City. They secured an agreement with the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Atlantic City Railroad Company and Vineland Railroad Company to operate a proposed road in connection with these companies. On January 14, 1893, a public meeting was held in Hand'* Hall, Cape May, which v was presided orer by James M. E. Hildreth. At that meeting $5300 was subscribed toward the project The road was buih from Winslow Junction in Camden county to Sea Ide City, and the first train ran there on July 27, 1893. The next day a regular train service was established. On June 23, 1894, the road having been completed from Tuckahoe to Cape May, the first train arrived with a large pally of invited guests, and a public holiday was the consequence. In July regular service was established. The road's projectors bad bad many financial difficulties. It was first known as the Philadelphia and Seashore Railroad, and afterwards reorganized as the South Jersey Railroad. On August 22 a receiver was appointed for the road, who still manages it, Tht officers of the company at the time of the appointment of tha readvw WilliamS.Fox, president; Login M BuUitt, vice-president; Thomas H Willson, secretary; Thom** Bobb, James E. Taylor, Charles K. Landis, J. H, Wheeler, Jame* M, E. Hildreth, Morris Boney, Thoma* E. Ludlam, John Halpln, H. W. Sawyer, Edward A. Tennis, Dr. James Mecray and Dr. V. M. D. Marcy. On the fourth of July, 1893, the celebration was participated in by ex-President Benjamin Harrison, who made the principal address from the piazza of the Stockton Hotel, Cape May City. Those who took part in celebration were Mayor James M. E. Hildreth; General William J. Sewell, of Camden; Congressman John E. Reybum, of Philadelphia; Hood Gilpin, Esq., of Philadelphia, and Rev. James N. Cockrus, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. All that portion of Cape May county, beginning at a point in the Atlantic Ocean opposite the mouth of Cold Spring Inlet, as far southerly as the jurisdiction of the State extends, and running a westerly course until opposite an inlet (now filled up) between Cape Island and the lighthouse; thence following the several courses of the inlet, or creek, to Mount Vernon Bridge, and Broadway; thence along the northwest side of Broadway to the north side of its junction with the Cape Island turnpike; thence along the north side line of the turnpike to Cape May Island Bridge and creek; thence, following the several courses of the creek down the main channel to the place of beginning, is by law of 1875 declared to be the City of Cape May. Previous to this the territory was called Cape Island. The first reference to Cape Island was when George EagfesfieW in 1699 bnfit the causeway. The firs%efereace to the island by law was in 1796, when a law was passed to make-a road on which boats could be stowed. The old way of getting to Cape May, formerly called Cape Island, was by carriages, the visitors from Philadelphia driving down. In 1815, a sloop was built to convey passengers. Sometimes it would take taro days to get down. The old Atlantic, the only hotel, was at the foot of Jackson street, and was the resort of men of prominence aad wealth for many years. Conunodore Decatur, the gallant and lamented American naval nSfidfr, for years was a visitant of Cape Island and was a constant habitne of the oM Atlantic. Among its proprietors may 1>e mentioned Ellis Hughes, William Hughes, Dr. Roger Wales, Aaron Bennett, Alexander McKenzie, Daniel Saint and Mr. McMackin. The old Congress Hall did not occupy the site of the present brick structure, but in when built by Thomas H. Hughes; its rotunda stood where Drs. Marcy A Mecray’s Palace Pharmacy now stands. It was a wooden bail ding, of extensive exterior, being 108x140, but not as elegant as die newer class of hotels. Thomas Hughes, Joseph Hughes, Jonas MBer, W. Burr Miller, Richard Thompson, John West and Jacob F. Cake were among the proprietors before its destruction in 1878. Jackson street was the first regularly laid out thoroughfare. The reason why Cape Island was not laid out in squares, like he more modem towns, b because streets were only made when they were needed. Jackson street was the first made street in Ae town, and that was more than one hundred years ago. Lafayette street was a cow path for the most part, and for convenience it eras made a wagon road, and finally adopted as a street. Washington street was made to run parallel with Lafayette. Delaware avenue b probably the next oldest Franklin, Jefferson and Queen are also very old streets. There was a hotel on the lot north of the old Atlantic, built in 1822, and kept by Ephraim Mills. The first steamboat began to run in 1828. Before that freight was brought to Cape May in sloops op to Scheflenger’s Landing. Old Captain Whilldin ran the first strsmhost to the present landing place on the bey side. The boat stopped at New Castle to take up the Baltimoreans and Southerners who wordS come down on the old Frenchtown and New Castle Railroad—the first railroad ever run fat, this 'Country. They would come orer in carriages from Baltimore to Frenchtown, in Maryland, on the Susquehanna, -near Havre de Graca. The hotel next erected after Congress Hill wa* the Mansion House,. raised fat 1832, covering fbnr acres of ground. It was the first lathed and {Mastered bouse on the is&nd. Richard S. Ludlam built H. aad also opened a street fifty feet In width, called Washington, between Berry and J son. The first summer cottage of Philadelphia. The Kenal, 1 meat, was a winr or rylmtkm of 1
