Tor the Dally War*. "" Our Cape— Its Pleasures, Fancies, and Faces. For thirty years Capo May has been j steadily growing; in popular foTor as s ! magnificent summer resort The war . for awhile di i-iuished the number of its ! patrons — but 't was only the calm before the storm — to-dsy finds it more crowded, . jili-sssni and attractive than ever. Emphatically sbstainrd by tbn pstro- j nags of I'ltiladrlpUis end Baltimore, yet it still furolshrs ample room to the j steadily Increasing delegntions from all , surrounding and airier cities. Business i of evrry kind here finds trading representatives— the varioos professions send their leading uien, end female beauty end lofetineea give rich and promident outline to all. ( Btsndiag on the lawn of ' Congregi i Bell," 'mlrfthe contending roer of breakers, the sound of the serf, and the cist- j ter of a ihougMfd voices, a rich picture spresns cot before us. The gay riders | aad promansdors on the beach — the j noiay bather* in the surf, • it b iho farreaching vista of .glistenii g ot-rao, with . its white-spread sails and foam-capped waves, and, away far in the distance, Benlopsn's light house stands like the | sontry of the day. Where to many are congregated to- j getber a* here, with no goal but pleasure, and oo ambition bat repose, many are tie amusements which are called j into requisition. Under the msnagement of the irreprestibl* nnd energetic Mr. Risley j Monday last was turned iota n gala day. i The ceremony was inaagnrsted by » I sack race upon the lawo, between five of 1 Afric't fairest sons. The balconlee are ' crowded, the referee gires the sign, and J off they start, but only to illustrate the j adage, "Mora the haste, jest the speed;" now a huge son of Hau» (smoked bam) takes the lead, but only to keep it an • Instant, and then precipitate himself, by hi* elongated heel catching tbn bsg fool, | ^ to, mother earth. At a military neces- i aity, the remaining Toor cover their fal- i Inn detachment by scattering themselves ■ I promiscuously over him, to the immense j | \ relish of the spectators, bat iu the high- ' I est degree dangerous to the 'Telle* | | clou i now they essay to rise, "only t to fall sgaln," sad thus scrambling, tilt- j \ ing, nlling aad boppiag, thej turn the i t »t*ke aad advance toward their goal, j , The merriment of th* spectators is positively dangerous — some are carried off j , la "hysterics . some fall la spasms, and all > i split various and anmsationabia article* I j of drria. The mirth it at iu height j ] when th* -smallest darkey or the lot falls t opon the homeward scratch by accident, * pockets the stakes, and walks off, with t satanic shows of sbiaing ivory r nd black ] gam. I Vest is a foot-race on the beach, be- t tween the small "darks."
