For some reason a wonderful boom has taken place', in this seashore resort, and a goodly number of I those who have gone to "the Oape" are addicted to the "ancient and honorable." Some talk has been going 1 the rounds to the effect that club matches will be resumed this year 1 with Atlantic Oity. If this should be true both organisations will enjoy the benefits of a'.revival of interest among their members. Several years ago, before these inter club contests were discontinued, golf was the rage[in Oape May, and most of the general interest was plainly aroused by the rivalry that always existed between the two seaside resorts. Special trains with cohorts of rooters are always a part of the affairs ; and everybody who can wield ia club is put to work by the opposing captains. In a limited way no golfing affairs in this section aroused quite the interest that is brought ab^ut by the Atlantic Olty-Oape May team matches. 9 9 9 Military man, traveller, clubman and genial companion. Colonel J. Warner , Hutchins shines with qualities in busiand private life that endear him hosts of friends, not a few of whom are here where he passes bis summers. ^ Governor Stuart, wno is himself a , close personal friend of the colonel, | made him a member of[his 'military , staff, and he has proved his fitness for , the appointment in many ways. , That no other aistinction has been I made is due solely to his preference for ( the quieter walks of business life to 1 which his career has been devoted. Colonel Hutchins is known throughout the ITnirted States as one of the c leading diamond experts of the counHe entered the jewelry business with his uncle, John C. Hutchins. after c leaving school, and succeeded him in 1 years, finally abandoning it for the wholesale diamond trade - In his extensive travels abroad he \ visited the diamond mines of South | Africa, and his acquaintance is a large s one among the leading men in control t of the trade. t Early in life Colonel Hutchins be- 0 came popular with the influential t members of the Republican political r organization, but while the prize of public office has often been within his reach, he has uniformly declined the r gift. He is a loyal Republican. ' e Since relinquishing the active trade r of a jeweler. Colonel Hutchins has j v found more time to gratify his fond- 1 ness for travel. Few Philadelphians I more widely covered the various n points of the world that attract the j * wondering tourist than he. j v His business journeys have carried ! £ in the course oi his life into si- j t most every part of the globe One of f the thing6 that has greatly interested in foreign countries is penal man- | agement. He has visited many prisons ^ abroad and made an intelligent study of comparisons with the management . of the county prison in Philadelphia, I v with which he has been connected as | inspector for ten years. The office of prison inspector is about ! t the only exception to Colonel Hutchins' j j, settled indifference to holding public j c positions. He voluntarily accepted it a a mere personal tribute ig. the be-_w ginning. In course of time lie became a deeply interested in it, and in the sub- <j of criminology. He has made a d study of many local criminals during b confinement, and has an occasional op- 8i portunity of watching the course of j[ of them after they are f*ee. tl He finds the subject an absorbing one the strong human interest th|k , surrounds it, and says from the stand- 81 point tf cleanliness and discipline Phil- b adelphla has nothing to hide in its prison management. The character ^ and adaptability of its buildings, so

loog oat. of date, are he says, another ■fcueetion. r Colonel Hutchins is an active Maaoo, being a member of every . body in the oader between the blue lodge and the realm of the Scottish Rite. S H. i. a member of the Union Lea- . gue, the Historical Society of PennsylI vauta, the Union Repablipa&01ub, the J ' FoorteeeMi Ward Republican Club, the Gape May Yacht Olub, of which he is a trustee, and the Jewelers' Club, of which hp is president # « • c The atone jetties which will bound the entrance to the harbor will probaj by be flushed so as to make a safe j t walk way -over their tops and they will t furnish a fine opportunity for gettiug ' e sea air at' first band arxf for fishing.

It \ has been needed and talked of and 1 urged for fifteen years and at last it a I has arrived. Autos or [other vehicles c may ieav*. the city or come to it by this route as well as " by passing l through West Oape May and it is a C ' very interesting route from the stand- j point of the view. One of the most I perfect views of the harbor poaaible is t obtained as the approach to the city p this road is made. The filling of adjacent land is now proceeeding and it 0 will not be long before there will be f quite a settlement near the bridge on 1 the north side of the creek. The banks y of the harbor will be the most popular a residence sections pne of these days.

There should t be no discrimination and trifling in C this matter. The owners of some of a larfiest and most important prope r c ties are the greatest offenders in the n matter of sidewalks. <9 (• The adoption of water meters would V make another^ city job or two, at all j events.
