Atuosg ibe many cuntemjiiatu i inprovemaul* on Cape island for the eu- J suing aaasoo, and decidedly the mmi , important and extensive one among I - them, la the erection of a mammoth hotel ftrictly designed for the comfort ; and acaommodatiuu of rxcuraionistwho may visit oar ehoree in all time to came. There la no bouse on the Islind that furniahea the fleceaaary *<-<^mtuodatiooa, aod the want list therefore boon loag experienced by thla claai <>' , annual aiailora The great popularity whieb onr inland baa acquired ia steadily on the increase, and if ought to be I oar eouitanl care and pleasure to foster everything which Improves or in >sany way adds to li»_alUeclioae There .✓Jfc numeruai orgaalkaiions, religious / aad saaaiar, whose custom it is to roeruit the fin-mces of their societies and the health of the individual main her* by excursion* to the seaside. During the tommers of '60 and '67. the nn'rnher of these rxcursioss have wonderlully incraaaed, of course principally owing to the grea facilities which we . now Oa»e of communication with I'hil- i iadelphia by meaus of railroad. This, too, aotwltbalanding the fact that there waa no agitable reception place at Caps i May In which they could re'tveh or | enjoy themselves on their arrival. The ' hotels, having their regular boarders, and the guests Ibemsclvsa evince a j strong antipathy .perhaps not altuge- J thor without cause, for those visitors : of ufew hours' J>t»y — many of whom mske It a prsclice to usurp the privl- | leges of • permanent guest In crowd ing the parlors, loou'ging around the doors and office*, bewildering the hotel I clerks, promenading tjie piexzaa, and ' in varluui other ways occupying space | . where It I* already too limited. No j doubt more or leu benefit to the Island is derived from these te uporary visi- i. tauts, for the name of the place thus becomes "as familiar as a houaefiold* word" la the moeths of thousands who may at aome time or other meka s much longer aley at the Capes. It was . not oar policy, anyhow, to prevent their . advent, bnt then what accommodation . .could wo give tbem without infringing on thq privileges ul onr regolar guests? , Happily a spirit of forethought and enterprise cute red the manage meal of the railroad company, and "onward the , march of progress still takes its way." The Cape May and Millvllle Railroad Company, undue a management which caoaot be excelled, have seen the warn ol a much needed excursion bouse ; , have net about to meet the exigqpey. , and are now carrying out their plan of , •execution. Having purchased a large lot beyoad Congress IIsll oud adjoining the property <>n which the fainons , Mount Vernou Hotel once proadly - stood, tbey are now encoding the rail- , road from the old depot, carrying it , directly across the turnpike snd creek . to the beach. Upon this lot they intend to erect a boiel expressly for excursionists, which will be complete in , its appointments, and of a capacity to , accommodate the largest parly. The j , halloing, which is to be L shaped, ar , as the present Congress Hall, will be , 840 feet long and T 5 feet wide, with a : apaciaos vers! dab ruunlng lis entire i length, and commanding a fall and unobstructed view of the ocean. The : i batch fronting the hotel is anrivalled , and cannot be excelled atony waterlog j place in the United States Ths new house will eombios all the accommods- , float rsqulslte In aay hotel, including , reception rsosn, ladies' aad gentle- j t men's parlors, dining-rooms, ice-oream , mines, aod an immense ball-room, 40 . hy 800 feet, covering an area of 8000 squarn ft, not qaiut as large, however, at the magnificent dieiug-room ef Congress Hall.
