INCIDENTS AT THE BEACH WILT THEIAMT IAS SEES Tie Migs •< tie Betters, Swianers lid tte Criwd y n tie Striid The "Band man" »u very much pleased yesterday when be saw the son shining so brightly, because be doesn't like rainy days. They areo't good for his spirits, and who would ever want to eee a "blue" sand manAs everyone knows Cape Hay's sand man isn't "blue" because he is made of Cape May sand, which is gleaming white, and the finest on the Jersey coast. The scene on the beach was something else to be glad for. Everyone looked as though they were trying to do double duty in the quest for a good time. Even before the life boat went out there was a great number enjoying the exhilarating sport One party of six had donned immense straw hats, evidently resolved that the sun's fays were to be defied, and to retain their lily white complexions, if possible."? But after a careful search he was unable to find any cheek that had escaped the gentle kiss of "Old Sbl." He is always on duty, and it takes more than a straw hat to keep him off forbidden ground. The "sand [man" was pleased to eee , so many of his brawny armed friends on the beach. Of course, they are a i secondary consideration, but are very useful at times, and must be given a little space. The sand which was a little soft the ( first part of the season, has regained , its old time ' firmness and Cape May's ( beach is still the finest in the world. B. S. Smith," je very popular pro- , prietor of the 8tockton was enjoying j his bath yesterday. j Mrs. Miller is one of our popolar t bathers, and has one of the finest tents , on the beach. j The "four Lynches" are among the i most popular youngster* on the beach, f George and-Buford are two manly lit- I tie bbaps, and Charles with his beau- r tiful golden hair attracts a great deal t of att* ntion by his cute ways. Last, i but not least, is Baby Francis, one 1; of the prettiest baby's seen on the c beach this season. The "sand man" t will be. sorry when the season draws t "* to a cloee and ha will have to say good- C by until another summer. & C. A. Safcterfield has become one of C the regulars and we are glad to wel- j ° come him, for he is very popular with | £ the young ladies. a E. Meade, the popular Swimmer of C Washington, was seen in the water h yesterday. . J. R. Cadwalader said goodby to fy old "NeDtune" yesterday. Mr. Cad- C "Neptune" C

walader will spend some time at Bay - | view before returning to town. ^ Miss Mabel and Carrie Focer are c two pretty damsels that are Been near- I ly every day on the strand. They ° are both good swimmmers. a Ralph W. Scbellenger, who is con- (_ nected with the Cape May llluminat- c ing Company, is often seen enjoying a b dip in old Neptune. Assistant Postmaster Frank W. Cassedy, >s seen every day on the strand. Mr. Casaedy is considered one of b our strongest and best swimmers and r every day be thinks nothing of swim- e ming from in front of the Windsor p Hotel to Madison avenue either with e or against the tide. v We are pleased to see Miss Jennie g Hughes again gracing the staand. a Miss Hughes is an ardent bather and b very good swimmer. t Mr. and Mrs. John Church are v among the regular bathers and both P enjoy the sport very much.

Interesting News Notes ] Continued from 1st Page There is arising in this county, particularly in the rural sections a | c great dee* of indignation against auto- j mobiles and their driven. Accidents are not rare and the machines are I i, driven with such reckless speed along j the main roads that farmers avoid! driving their bones on them excepting when they are compelled to. Only yestei day a prominent farmer at Riot Grande waa chased off the road end h compelled to ran his hone into a way- j e aide ditch to avoid an auto driven by a|i 6 reck U ss chauffeur and containing a • 1 hilarious crowd, who were evidently en- , 15 joying Ms discomfiture and regarding - the matter aa a rare bit of fun, though ^ the lives of both himself and wife , 6 were placed in imminent danger. , i Another feature of the case is that the , f expensive state roads with which the j 8 county has been gradually providing t * itself are being litenlly torn to pieces . I by the numerous autos which usually ( 1 are driven through this county at their , 1 top speed, the news having gone , * abroad that tljere is no means for de* , 2 tec ting those who exceed the speed j r limit, th < roads not being policed, and j 9 autoistE have made it a racing ground. \ 1 The difficulty is greatest on the portion ] ' of the road leading from Court House E ■ to Rio Grande where all autos coming E J either to Cape May or Wildwood and \ the Five Mile Beach resorts converge, j | The indignation has reached a pitch \ : which has caused residents along this 0 road to apnea! to the county and state t i authorities for the proper policing of a i the road and it will undoubtedly be u granted. | c (• (• 9 It is a singular thing that every one of the newer resorts from the time of the beginning of the great Moloch j * of the coast, Atlantic City, down to . the last candidate for public favor as a seashore resort, strive mightily for n recognition on the grouDd that they are equal to or superior to Cape May '' in some particular or otner. Atlantic's * greatest happiness consists in telling c that Cape May is "dead" and it was d this same Atlantic City which some ago, stole the Cape May weal her b and climate record as compiled by the w government, and applied it to Atlantic ri City. Under this false pretense this s' modern Sodom has sought business for " years or more. Yes, and got 81 The newer applicants for favor a not been so unscrupulous, but you I b cannot talk fifteen minutes to most of 'c their promoters without hearing some- e' thing derogatory to "Cool Cape May. " ^ course the reason is obvious. Cape 81 is the standard. You never bear Cape May people bother to criticise o'tier resorts. They give them such fc credit as belongs to them and some- F I times admit all their claims, which is g, | heap more than belongs to them. fi. Cape May was naturally tormed for a . resort and there is many a re 'n sort which would not be defined as a e\ health resort, if its drainage facilities were understood by the public. May's water supply is amnle for for

need and of the finest quality. Its drainage facilities are of the highest efficiency, all sewerage being driven through pipes into the Delaware Bay, three miles distant and carried out into the channels nearly a mile from the shore, whence it goes to sea and is'dissipated in the great currents. Cape May's destiny is as fixed and certain as the stars of heaven. It will the greatest resort of the coast and a great commercial port in very few years. <• » <p General Manager W. W. A terof the Pennsylvania railroad ar rived here in a special car Saturday evening, accompanied by a number of prominent gentlemen who are interested in the developments here. They will remain several days and have given a thorough examination to the I approaches of the harbor and the haritself. This is the third inspection since summer opened, by Pennsyl- ' vania officials. The gentlemen com- ! posing the party are W. W. Atterbury, j G. Davis, W. Barklie Henry. Andrew Grey, Charles Ettin. M. C. Smythe, E. C. Felton. Lewis Lillie, Tenney, R. W Lesley, F, L. * » If Cape May is what Atlantic City's are striving so hard to it appear, why do they find it necto pay so much attention to it? The , constant exhibition of anxiety which Atlantic is making is proof of the fact that Cape May is a very live proportion and that Atlantic City fears its competition as well it may. things do not call forth so much discussion. Atlantic's anxiety is a encouraging symptom to Cape and wise people will not be misled by Goldenberg's dissertation. (• (• (• Farmers throughout this sec tion re ceived yesterday's heavy downpour j with thankfulness. The drouth has j continued so long that all crops were : seriously endangered. Some sort ofj irrigation should be . provided by j farmers who desire to escape damigel from these dry spells. » l» S PacrMcDonneil. who lost his pocket , book containing about fifty dollar.-, 1 had it returned to him yesterday through the medium of an ad.

His aged father, Mr. B.J Thomas Neiiaon. occupies a '"cottage r | here as be has done for many summers. 1 " * • * I Ou Sbotchun. secretary of the Cfain- ' Jeae legation at Washington, accora- > | panied by his aon Ou N. Q., who is a 1 student in civil engineering at the ' j Lehigh University, arrived at the Hotel ■ I Cape May Sa- unlay evening and are to be followed by other members of the legation. 6 « « The large numbers of bathers which gather daily on the beach between eleven and one present some curious 1 contrasts. The big three hundred pound men and the lit'le year old iota, 1 the slender maiden and the stout ; who would give all she pos- * sessed to return to the liibeness and 1 slender outline of her youth. The 1 , most enjoyable feature is the sigbt of the numerous little ones who toddle * in and out of the water with' absolute i fearlessness and indeed have nothing 1 fear which is the glory of the Cape beach. There are no shifting 1 sands nor dangerous currents and o n- i sequenrly the lamentable accidents t which characterize some other seashore places rarely occur here. Almost in- 1 variably when a drowning case does 3 occur.it is found upon investigation to j due to fooihardiness. Ball plajiDg * at the beach which has been quite pop- I ular is now tabued, since several peo- s I pie have been annoydd by being hit by c the balls. Tennis balls are usually used I j and since the sport particularly in the j water has been very much enjoyed, it ■/ j seems like stretching a point to en- a force a prohibition of it instead of a \ modification. "Health. Pleasure and Recreation" d Is surely the watch word for Cape n beach and by the size of the ® crowd in bathing yesterday, it seems ^ a great many people besides the "sand man" bellieves it to be the 8 truth. Where in the wide, wide world *- would you find a better place for recreation, and as you listen to the e of laughter you will come to ^ conclusion that there must be tt something like pleasure in the gentle, 6 of "Old Neptune." and as to P the "sand man" only has to a: around and he sees health on t< aide. So let us drink to "King May each day bring new subjects to bia reAlm. •) •) « je The sounds have been a paradise N for those who love fishing, this week. ; B parties of two or three have gone T who have not brought away g, to one hundred fish and the yacht- M ing Act is reaping a harvest for a' everybody desires to go a-fishing. ^ « (• c. gi Congress life-guards are very skilful _ )r i^ongress nie guaras axiuui
