I INCIDENTS AT 5 THE BEACH E WHAT THE SAN# NAN SEES i Tie Doings ol the' Bathers, Swimmers and the Crowd on the Strand s The "sand man" arrived at bathing 6 hour yesterday and immediately began f his favprite pastime of bathing chiefly 1 in the sand, and incidentally noticing i things. B He became enthusiastic and ant nounced that the bathing hour scenes are the best ever this season. The many charming ladies who enjoy the tonic of a sea bath daily or sooner f are more nattily and neatly attired , than usual. This summer's Paris i bathing gowns being all that the most j r fastidious can demand, ahd as becoin- ! > ing as ball room costumes. They are j , nit always wet during the hour indi- 1 s eating thai bathing costumes are worn I i occasionally for other purposes than a t mere bath and it is generally admitted ) that the beauty of the scene is not int jured if, when clad for the bath, some 1 of the younger set prefer the graceful - exercise of tarring a ball, or the sand • bath in congenial company. . The "tented[city" is growing daily : i in size , and is the most picturesque 1 feature of the beach, as well as an excellent aid to the pleasures of the children, protecting them from the hot ' sun's rays ,while[they play in the sand. Mrs. J. P. Doyle, was one of the t most handsomAy attired of the lady bathers in black taffeta trimmed in 1 red. Mrs. L. J. Deacon attired in the ' neatest of black taffeta suits, is among 1 the attractive bather; on the Stockton ' grounds. I Mrs. W. Joyce Sewell, attired in a 1 steel suit it one of the rnoet iigm bicc* au/i it uue ut Lue utuctl

J graceful bathers. f Arthur Maris and his cousiii, H. M. f M%ris, who are here for a short stay t are among those who daily enjoy the i many pleasures of our beach. B The Misses Hallowell are the most t daring bathers, and enjoy the excitement of long swimming matches. Mrs. B. S. Bunn, who has for the i f last two years been iMlSsed from . among the lovers of the surf yesterday ' I . was one of a gay bathing party. ' 1 Miss Mary de B. Reigel is again i r with us. She took her initial dip this i i > morning attired in a trim princess suit, j I which was vet y becoming. Miss 1 ' • Reigel. always charms a jolly -rowd. j 1 1 and we hope she will be with us every 1 , day . II Miss Virginia Kembie was not in' i the water this morning, but was seen j r taking her friends for a spin in her |j We see the Misses Edwards are still 1 lovers of the old ocean. ' 1 Miss Mattie Marry was seen on the ' beach attired in a very nobby suit. 1 Miss Marcy is a very attractive little | brunette, and has a charm which mates i 1 new friends for her every day. 8 Miss Alice Bennett was seen on the '' beach today attired in one of the new t French bathing suits. The suit was a green and yellow plaid silk, cut in A

the princess mode. The ptaid suits are . very popular and Miss Bennett looked exceptionally well in Iters I J. McF. Lucas and J. S. Lucas are I trying to get enough bathing to last ' them for awhile, as they are to leave ' on the sixth for Gibbsboro, N. J., to! ' study the paint business in their j father's factory. ' Mr. J. R. Cadwalader took bis , 1 initial bath today. Mr. Cadwalader - h— - every- resort en the coast J but has found no bathing to equal that of Cape May. Mrs. de Silver was seen in her tent with a party of charming young ladies. I Miss- Lottie Rutherford was having i a grand time yesterday. It was just ! enough, enough— but tjien Miss. is always satisfied. Mrs. B. A. Lynch was seen on the ' beach yesterday clad in a becoming black suit. Miss Kembie wore -a neat brown taffeta. Miss Kembie looked very i pretty and it seemed almost a shame for her to go into the water. Miss Wilkins is a very graceful bather and her suit is ohe of the j .neatest of black taffeta. Miss Wilkins wears a white collar and tie, which j 1 gives her a look distingue. Miss Cecilia Rife was very attract i tive in her blue suit. Miss Kife is a j ! very pleasant young lady and we are J : always glad to see her on ti^ beach. [ ' Y

Many ; otters Practicing for Sat ' i The local golf course is again n crowded with the devotees of the I y royal and ancient game. The season t ; at this popular place of amusement and ' exercise is not yet formally opened, e - This opening, in all probability, will 1 s take place Saturday, July the 4th. i e The entertainment proposed for this t ; day is a mixed foursome, with a tea on i r the club house porch for the non-par* f i ticipants. g In preparation for this tournament c t many of the champions from «he s - country clubs in the nearby cities, o : t who are visiting Cape May, are daily t - 1 getting into . form. From the scores a I I being brought in daily it looks as L t though there, would be no chopping, c 1 slicing or pulling in the plajing of the f • contestants next Saturday. t : Mr. Isaac Kembie, who has taken w 1 up his headquarters at the Hotel Cape d 1 May, has joined the club for the week, b His long driver and sure puts on the u - green are a prominent feature in his t< t daily trips around the links. j i Miss Wagner, as' the guest of Mr. : Hastings went around the course a few : times the other day. The manner in g which she handled the different clubs q s amply attested her.skill at the game, yj Mr, and Mr. S. Mitchell Harrison and q i their son, who are staying at the g Hotel Cape May, have taken out a q > weekly membership card. They are g completely charmed by the facilities g which Cape May offers in the line of y this sport. Messrs, Bispham, Hastings and Miles played a threesome today. •. The result was pleasing to them in

that they came very near doing the ; course in bogey. A very interesting ami exceptionally ; rare shot occurred the other day when Mr. Authur Colahan was going over .he t coarse. Having holed out qn the . fourth hole exceptionally well, Colahan approache^d the fifth tee with • great satisafction. Taking his ^midi iron he made what appeared to be a ; good straight shot onto the green. Following the'ball to where be thought i ; it should be he was puzzzled to find 1 1 it nowhere in sight. He was about to give up and let it go as a lost ball I when through aorne chance he happened to look into the cup where he founa .the ball peacefully reposing, I thus having holed out in one shot.
