Atlantic City's victory over Cape May In the home Inlerelnb matches was a great surprise to the supporters of the South Jersey Club. Unfortunately., Cape May was minus the services of sevrial of 1U best performers, although to a certain extent the seme n^ay be said to be true of the Invading forces; but former was less able to be without the aerrioas ol th jse who were unable to take a hand. Considerable intereat was aroused as a result of the contests, and large galleries of sympathizers followed the contending team*, not only around the Unhii but on their jonmeys of Invasion. A glance at the membership of the two clubs shows Atlantic City to be muck stronger, at leest In ths golfing

Cape May relied on the peculiar nature of lu course to overcome the admitted superiority of its opponents, and while the links do require a certain amount of previous acquaintance to score well, this feature failed to stop the onslought of the skilful Northfieldeans.

The Service* Ar* Now There and Ar* Largely Participant* Come From East*) Pennsylvania and Ohio—Many the Visitor* Linger until Octohor.

During rite August sod early Septuber tbe Sea Grove Camp meeting of tbe Church of the United Brethern In 'hriat will have a graad rally at their aottage encampment at Cape May Point. This camp is one of tbe moat ote rev ting of the entire coast, becauae >f it* model and -.oexpenKlre .tent and able homes, In whicb many well known Philadelphian* ipend their entire Summer, a* well a* during the camp eeting rallies. Philadelphia i* largely represented nong the member* ol the church known a* tbe United Breetbern In Christ, but tbe camp colony la not reitricted to those who are associated with this body of worships. A novel colony eou-pose* the camp, and a more ugenlal co-operative village near the a would be hard to find. Visitors to Cape May invariably take a trip to tbe Point to new tbe model housekeeping in tbe tiny camp home*. While many of the teats are merely cauva* a flair*, they are snugly lurniabed with every possible protection against ie weather, sod the majority of the •ttage* are well built of frame, with > ird floors and weather-tigbt roof*,and all are picturesquely decorated with blooming plant* in tube and boxes, •hile the grove of scrub oaks in which tbe extensive encampment is situated presents tbe an usual attraction of ihade seldom found to near the At the entrance of this interesting camping ground the gate post legend i* the visitor that it ia the "Sea Grove Camp Meeting of the Church of tbe United Brethern in Christ.'' At the right of the gateway there la a long line of the tent and cabin homes, while on the left is a shady grove of well, developed specimens of the "scrub oaks" of such sandy localities. Passing down this broad thoroughfare, beyond the entrance, tbe visitor finds himself in the midst of an ideal camp meeting location. There are several shady streets crossing rt right angles, each with its closely vet row of tiny two-roomed camp homes, each owned—or rented for the season—by the individual families who frequently remain here from early Summer until October. As tbe various camp meeting sessions are held at interval* throughout the season, the members of the little colony have alternate periods of rest by the ocean, and rousing times of religious (

seal.

At the height of tee camp me**ting session the numerous cabins and tents within the ground* cannot accommodate the visiting members. Then to* surplus bedding, that has been stored in tbe tents for this purpose, u brought out, and numerous cote are set closely the big, roomy, barn-Uke building which has been erected for this purpose serose tbe road from the camp.
