Mr. Edward Woods, who is the manager of the Pittsburg Agency, has sent out handsomely printed invitations to hia agents in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, in which the pleasures to be enjoyed at Oape May are set forth in glowing and Oape May described in a very interesting and enticing manner. This is accompanied by the handsome Hotel Oape May booklet. This is the sort of advertising which produces effects. Manager J. P.

A large business for the Hotel Oape May is already assured for June and and he oould fill two houses like it in August The same kind of management would make Congress Hall just as successful, provided it were modernized and made as attractive as should be.

The lots of the New York yach1 "Mist" on the Atlantto City shore after endeavoring to enter the inlet, shows Jhow foolish it is *to talk of a harbor there, which millions could not make safe, nor feasible. If the "Mist" had continued down the coast to ;Cape May she could have entered harbor with perfect safety, as other and larger yachts have done under similar circumstances. It is the hot air handed out by the Atlantic Oity artists, on their possession of a harbor which causes these accidents, by deceiving yachtsmen, and that city should be compelled to pay for every vessel lost. It might teach them to speak more truthfully. i The builders on the Eaet Cape May | tract are suffering at the hands of lumthieves, who have been operating a large scale. Contractor Sharp recently lost about, five hundred feet of The raids on the Mooney operations have been handled with greater skill, as the material was taken in small quantities from many piles. Mooney has 'offered a reward of $50 for the arrest; of the guilty. » •) 9 A different method of lighting the board walk is under consideration and would be generally acceptable because it would be more picturesque, more effective and more attractive. It is proposed to substitute for the present system of arc lights a system of arches at reasonable intervals each of which would carry number of incandescent lights, a single arc light between each two of the arches to assist in the general illumination. The expense for the i lights would be no greater, it is promand the system would be distinctive. The arches are to be supported on concrete columns and at their tops would be placed receptacles for small flag staffs in which would be placed the staves of small national flags on national holidays, the Pennsylvania pennants to celebrate the coming of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, tor instance, or New Jersey pennants to celebrate the presence of New Jersey societies. The Premier run could be celebrated by the use the Premier pennants and ao on. It is said that the "Welcome" arch built last? September for the Premier run, has beer much commented on favorably by the. visitor* on the occasion. A change in the lighting system on the boardwalk has ' been needed end we hope it will a fact. • • • J. M.

P. HOWLETT ON OUR HARBOR j BUILD BIS WARE HOUSE I The Philadelphia Record published on Monday a most interesting statement by Michael Howlett, who has the most extensive fish business in Philadelphia, and also a itatemeot of the J establishment here of greet fisheries and docking facilities. W« print it in part : "Heretofore oysters and fish have been brought to Philadelphia on vessels i the fishing grounds and distrifrom here to dealers £outalde the aty. This course has now been largely discontinued, and only flak and 07- ' sters for local use will be landed bore henceforth, and these shipments will brought here by the railroads from Jersey ports. The oyster dealers have made their at Bivalve and Maunoe N. J., where warehouses have built for their use and where oyster craft will discharge their catches t directly into cars (or general distribution. By this means double" handling saved and 24 hours time gained in ' delivery. The fish dealers nave selected An- j glesea and Cold Spring Harbor, N. J., as their rendezvous. Michael Howleft, the largest local owner of fish and oyster smacks, will In the spring have warehouse built at Cold Spring Harfor his use. Others will make Anglesea the landing place for their ' craft, as well as other points on •the New Jersey coast. Mr.;Howlett stated Tuesday that be will have his vessels! bring their cargoes into Cold Spring; Harbor, which he considers will in the near future the most desirable of^all Piarbors on coast for fishing craft because of its accessibility to the fishing grounds. Hopkins, of the Dock Street Fish and Oyster Market Company, says that the bringing of oysters and by vessels to Philadelphia, even local consumption, is a thing of the past The new railroad pla~ is considered more feasible, as the oysters and fish can be landed at South Jersey points st night and be delivered here the^rail roads before day light next "He^believes that the change is one for the better for bcth the conand dealer. The fact that Cape May's harbor is "the most desirable of all harbors" as Mr. Howlett states, will^operate ultiinately to place almost^the entire fisb-t j ing business here THE CECIL BUFFET NOW OPEN Under New and Experienced Management 1 G.
