CAPE MAY BALMY CLIMATE (Continued from First Paps.) now, as evidenced by the recent letUua of a contract to build fifty cottages on the new site, all to be ready for occupancy within (he opening of

next season.

The pleasant weUlher of the past three or four weeks has served to keep the activities of one of Cap< May's best known Institutions, the golf club. In public mind. The fine nine-bole course, which only ibis fall has been greatly Improved under the supervision of Samuel Blspham, of the PblUdelphU Country Club, has been the scene during the fine days of s number of well-fought contest* To \ the golfer who U fond of a "sporty game, the course at Cape May presents s fine field for bis prowess. Owing to the contour of the land and the proximity of the salt meadows, the course U laid out upon a strip of farm land bordering omif the principal thoroughfares of the city, Lafayette street. Course Looks Easy. Under Mr. Blspham'i hand the nine holes have been Uid out on this narrow strip of rolling meadow.whose natural pitfalls have been augmented by the const ruction of bunker haiards. The course looks easy, but woe betide him who ''slices'' or "pulls " The first and second holes, extending northwardly from the commodious club-house- which Is within easy walking distance of all the hotels and cottages, are fairly easy to negotiate, provided one plays "straight." although they are rather long holes "Three" lies along the salt meadow to a green, which, for the sak. of economy of space, has been bled np with "Six," and Is one o short holes. “Four'" and "Five" easy, and so is "Six," but "8< has a triple wet of bunkers. "Elghtt'' and ''Nine" extend along the Inner or street side of the course back to clubhouse, on the spacious veranda, on which one may sit and watch the course of s match from the

start to flniah.

The whole course la in fine condition. Today the grass on the puttin' greens is aa green as emerald velvet, and playing the Royal Game was Indeed a pleasure. With a mild winter, such as the last three or four have been. Cape May should, and undoubtedly wlB, be the Mecca of golfers from all parts, who need experience no difficulty In playing « course In winter that they would not find In summer. The golf olub, during the summer >aaon. Is the scene of a number of tournamenta, both with other clubs and among the membership. These attract widespread attention. The annual series with Atlantic City is one of the c.--ents of the season. Golf Club Popular. The tennis courts, constructed at large cost, hare proven a welcome adthe summer pleasures, and the Saturday afternoon teas w}|h pitale by a fine orchestra, have made the golf club a remarkable popular meeting place for Cape May residents
