The Hotel Oape May will be full to the roof for the week's end and has a large contingent of guests permanently. (• (• (• Several years sgo one of the Dels ware 'pilots residing at Cape May broughtjiome a blackberry plant which the Captain of a vessel which he piloted presented him. It came from Brazil and proved to be a remarkable vine. Not much attention was paid to it until recently when William Ewing, Sr., Cold Spring, secured it and cultivated it He gave'it a name "Ewing's Wonder, " and its growtn and yield is incredibly great You should go and see it if you are interested in such matters. Mr. Ewing has arranged to have the Cape May Summer School visit him to examine it during the last week in this month. (• fit fit Harry Stites is home on his usual two weeks vacation. He has been stationed at Clarke' Hotel, Boston, for several years. Miss Charlotte Bridenthal has sold bcr Hughes street cottage. Miss Bertha L. Fry, prominent in West Philadelphia society ci'cles, is the guest of the Misses Stokes at their mother's cottage, 660 Hughes street. M. Trump, [general supreintendent of transportation of the Pennsylvania Railroad and his lamily, have taken rooms at the Hotel Cape May. They came by special train yesterday reaching here at-2 :80 p. m. Mrs. Trufnp has been ill and is expected to recover rapidly in this climate. <b (• « Professor Gordobn and his orchestra, of the Ansonia Hotel, New York, are again delighting Cape May audiences at the Hotel Cspe May. He is one of the most popular conductors we. have ever had here. He uses classic or popular selections as the occasion requires and'very good judgment in all of his selections. The Sunday evening concerts are wonderful and long before they begin all chairs are taken and all available room occupied. Prof. Gordohn is full of dignity in ' his art, full ot passion, temperament 1 and fire, yet you .never see him lose 1 any of the nuances. He possesses a ' wonderful power over the orchestra ' everv member of which seems to feel " what be desires. The moment he < gives the signal to begin the, audience ' become prefectly quiet showing the < deep respect felt for the good profea- ' sor. and his orchestra. The members » are all men of. high degree in their art < and each one fcrgets himself while he ' is performing. Professor Gordohn is now writing a tone picture to be en- ( titled "The Ocean," which he hopes to produce during the season. •> « w It is no trouble to run a motor boat in the harbor now. There is a system , of signs directing one to his destination as thought the waterways [were C city streets. One sign points "To [ Wiidwood," another "To Cape May." ' another "To the Harbor," another . "To the Subway," which means a short cut to Holly Beach. We did not , notice any "To the^Slevated." or "To the Mezzanine" or "To the Cafe." but ' these will come no doubt Some one is f advocating the erection of a big hotel ■ and amusements on a fifty acre meadow 1 island between this city and Holly c Beach and then there will have to be a 1 sign "To the Scenic Railway, etc." c The deep water in the harbor saves the iives.of thousands of carbs annual- ' ly that would be smothered during winter in shallow water by the ice settling upon them. «» fi» fi» There is no safer thing for profitable

investment than Cape May real estate and the most experienced and astute of real estate men all agree upon this. Groat profits will be made some day by fortunate holders of property here. Those who are pessimistic on Cspe May > should be in black despair for every other resort on Ahe coast. • * « "Coming events cast tbe<r shadows before. ' Can any more be added to Eldredge's pen picture of Cape May's future? The picture is complete it only needs the help of the business men and residents of Oape May together with the help of capitalists who have already become much interested in the future greatness of Ope May to bring about these results and even greater results. Why not all . join the "Booster's Club" and push things to the front for the welfare of our grand resort. Anyway, "If you can't boost, don't knock.

THE SAND RAN ON fflE BEACH Tu fog of yesterday was just the thing for comfortable bathing and a large crowd were in the surf. All those who took the dip pronounced *Ke water perfect and many who down to watch others, went back to the bath booses ana returned attired for the old ocean. The tide was low thus making a splendid strand forfthe'gmniee and races. A relay race'and a marathon was the feature of the morning, about fifteen young men taking part Offioer Hickey acted as judge with impartial decisions. .Mr. Hickey is very popular Jwith those who visit the strand, though as the "Sand Man" heard two charming young ladles remark, "Its kind of mean to not let us play ball." The young ladles that visit the beach

:- each day are beyond compare. No plaoe s along the coast can boast [of any attraction half so 'great Such 'grace, s suob beauty, such poises are enough to turn the head of even the "SaDd n Man." One thing the "Sand Man" has noticed particularly for the last few r days ib the great number of dogs ou the strand. All breeds seem to be reprei sented from the fluffy white poodle to . the mastiff and ordinary hound pup. , Among the bathers : d Mr. and Mrs. Woods, from the Hotel Cape May, spent the hour in the r breakers. Miss Hilda Halloway. is fond] of the - surf boat but is just a bit afraid of the big waves. Mr Nat Wertbenner spent some s time in the surf. Mr. Wertberner is r a frequent bather and doesn't mind if the water is a trifle cold. ; James Werthermer spent some time i on the strand in company with a fair companion, i Mies Beyette Paul speot the latter part of the[ba thing hour in the breakers. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Buck spent the bathing boor together with the three , Misses Buck, and a party of friends. . Ball playing is still much in evidence[on the beach, but Dot where the ; crowd holds forth. A rubber ball adds ! much to the pleasure of the dip, and almost every party has one. The danI ger from a soft ball of that type is not [ very great, nose glasses being about , the only thing endangered. Miss Bertha'L. Fry . is a daily bather and is very fond of the surf. Miss Yolande Olawson is again with us this] summer and is seen on the beach everv day attired in a becoming suit. THE CAPE MAY HABIT Why people stay at Cape May all the and why they return year after year was pretty well explained ny a gentleman on the boardwalk the other day. A party of ladies and a gentlewere talking about Cape May. and one of the ladies asked, "Are you goto stay here this summer, Mr. A.T" "I believe I will," replied Mr. A. "The only trouble with Oape May is it is so nice that I'm afraid I won't get anywhere else this summer." "Well,'" replied the Jady laughing, "you've caught the Oape May habit anyone comes here once tbey alreturn year after year and you can't get them to go anywhere else." When visitors feel this Jway about the resort we can rest assured that May is maintaining all of her old time prestige.
