McOausland, of the Atlantic City Railway, and we t rejoice that they have at laat.had the opportunity of seeing an up-to-date hotel. It will do them all good and it : ' will not be the first good thing that I - Atlantic .City has learned about through Cape May. The whole city I t was theirs daring , their visit" and they were shown the harbor and many other | "things new to tbem and impossible of i > achievement at Atlantic City. They spent considerable time at the new Hotel Cape May and I visited various places of interest. 1 They expressed the opinion that Cape | , May has a great future before it. j , - They will be heartily welcomed when ; they get ready to come over and build j i beach front hotels.

r INTERESTING \ NEWS NOTES i — - — . ; OCCURRENCES BERE ANDTBERE ! Incidents Which Bnre Attracted ' the Attention of the Star and Wave The Atlantic City Review, is dissati isfied because railroad rates are not » made higher to CapcMay and says : e "President McCrea should do Atlan- , tic City the favor of at least giving it - as low , fare, if Foot lower, than is al- - lowed to any other resort on its sys- . tem." The Review knows, of course, that railroad discrimination in its favor is what made Atlantic prosperous, and railroad discrimination against .Cape May had a great deal to do with holding it down,.but railroads,cannot do this I kind of thing any longer unless by manipulation of train service. But if effete Atlantic finds so much to cry about now, what in the world will beI come of it when things actually begin to happen here. 4 4 4 ■ Autoists in other states resent the passage of the laws regulating these vehicles, last session of the legislature, to such an extent that several auto events partially arranged for may be withdrawn.
