SOME NEWS AND COMMENT BREEZY OPINIONS AND NEWS Gathered by Stir and Ware Reporters and Comment on Current Events A dispatch in one of the Philadelphia papers last week contained this statement which is a gratuitous aspersion on the administration of justice in thiB county : "Champion has powerful political j friends in Cape May County and, while (indictments by the grand jury were j expected, it was believed that he would j never be convicted of the charges , brought against him. " | Any normal man will regret that I Champion or any other man should be I in his predicament, but whatever verdict the testimony may make necessary will undoubtedy be rendered . w « ® The proposition to place the board walk out farther and elevate it is reoeived with favor by many of the owners of riparian rights and beach front property owners. Arcea of land made up by the action of the sea and tbe effect of the. jetties at the entrance of the narbor, it is believed, will be to cause the bench to "make out" many feet. This has been the eftect of the building of jetties everywhere. « « « The members of the Cape May High School ball team are making arrangements to give a festival one evening next week, proceeds for benefit of base ball fund. (• (• (• Four different land companies out- j aide of those interested in Cape May proper, are working for tbe development of different tracts of land within two miles of thia city and the numof lota sold by these various companies during the present spring would surprise many people. The amount of advertising for Oape May and vicinity | placed during tbe past month or so has exceeded that of any other resort in thia county if not equalling the total placed by all of them. Tbe ..prospects for'the[coming season could not well be better. The renting of cottages is proceeding rapidly Jand there is no doflUfcthat every available one will Ee leased and occupied. Oape May'B attractions are those which appeal to people desiring to enjoy an entire summer. Tbe gronp of palatial cottagea : onjthe New Oape May|section, owned by N. Z. Graves, of Philadelphia, were among the first tofbe leased. •) • •) Miss Harrison, the owner of Balti- | more Inn, will resume its management < thia season, and will no doubt score ; . the success which she has always won . io her popular house. •> •) « f Cannot soman ing be done to break * up street and depot loafing. At the arrival of every train large numbers af men and boys congregate about the

The re- j I salts would be the same, and labor , f reduced. a « 9 Sol Levy, a Weat Oape May basket ) ■ ball star, has signed with the Atlantic J City Juniors. He will be greatly I missed by tbe West Oape May team ' next winter. « » 0 , Oape May is preeminently a cottage 1 resort and wins a very gratifying success along this line each season. Tbe prospects are particularly bright for t the approaching season in this direce Hon, more cottages being rented today ' 1 than tor several years at this time. | Many cottagers And it tbe paradise of n children.

The employment of Wheelock'sj . Indian Band has very satisfactorily provided for the music in the City e Pavilions which is alwayB much ene joyed by a large majority of our visi- . tors and the securing of a ba9e ball park will make certain a great base ball season. Yachting will occupy a h larger place than usual even in the - summer repertoire of sports and there < are some surprises coming in certain e additions which wili be made to tbe fleet, especially in the power boat classes. Golf, tennis and similar sporis • j will be amply provided for and bowls' ing is to take on new life. An im- - portant addition will be found on - Stockton Lawn which is to be used - for hippodrome purposes and has been - leased to first class people for this puri pose. Tbe usual vaudeville will be f amply provided for and negotiations y are proceeding through tbe Board of s Trade Committee for other features, n The accusation or tbe soft impeacb.1 ment that Cape May's pleasures are sc s intermingled with its social life that e only those who form a part of its cots tage or hotel society can find sufficient p recreation, will not be true this season, e if, it ever has been. o FISHING BOAT DOWNS THREE, i- Capsizing of a fishing boat in tbe s heavy sea Wednesday morning threw d seven men in the water and three of i, them drowned. The victims are : Frank Thompson, of Goshen, who I leaves a wife and one child. H Joseph Reed, of Ohincoteague. Va., 1 j married a few days ago, who arrived e | at Anglesea Tuesday evening and n I started to work this morning. I Willis Murphy single, of Anglesea. J All the men were employed by tbe k I Ocean Fish Company, of Anglesea, ie j and went out to lay cables as a preparation for opening the season's fish>e ing. They had finished this work and inx- iuci uwj u.iicucu iuib wwia anu

on thfir way home when the boat ( overturned near Anglesea wharf. \ of y>e crew clambered in the boat , and made an effort to rescue the others, • but the rough sea prevented a rescue , Tbe life saving crew was also unable , reach tbem. ( Tbe men saved are William High, of , Goshen ; Ezra T. Batterson, of Lees- , burg, N. J. ; Obatles Loper, of Willis Wharf, Va., and Edgar Creamer, of , Eldora, N. J., who was so nearly beyond help that it Required half an hour i , to revive him. They were in the 1 water twenty minutes and were ' brought ashore by the life saving 1 crew. Grapplars are now seeking to : recovery the bodies of the lost men. The ocean on Wednesday resembled ; , that of three and a half years ago, , when the Nora went down and a score j , of passengers lost their lives. It is said ^ thelboat in tbe catastrophe was par- , ti ally filled with water from the big | combers whicb develop in this inlet . in easterly weather and while her rud- ! der was out of water and failed to , guide her, she veered sidewise to the | seas and instantly capsized. The men in her were thoroughly experienced but could not avoid these condi - I tions. Hereford is a bad inlet to , navigate in time of storm or easterly gales and "has been tbe scene of several heartrending disasters. I ? .

Both sides cover* d the | t ' ground in a succinct but very thorough ! manner, and put forth many logical I I- and persuasive arguments for their \ respective sides.

arc su z s. io. smnmas. > , Hue tat CM tj Ok Scare, fk I tha in tfe Sink After battling for nine innings in a | neck and neck race at Stockton Leva on Saturday afternoon, Oape May High , School won out in the ninth from Millville High School hy a eoore of 10 to 9. Errors were frequent and costly, both teams playing snappy and indifferent in spots. A strong wind was blowing and dost flying, which greatly handi- ' capped fielding and made it difficult : to judge flies. Runs crossed tbe plate in every in- : ning, Millville aooring in all but the I ninth, while Oape May got runners i across every inning but the fourth and eighth. Both teams scored one in the first end eecond, and two each in tne i third In the fourth Cape May failed . to get a man across the pan while Mill- • . vllle slipped over aith One taking tbe lead 6 to 4. In the fifth both secured one. In tbe sixth Millville annexed another, the score then being 7 to 6. Cape May bdnobed hits in their half, iand tallied three more. Phillips i lined out e single, Shields smashed out a two bagger, and Needles drove one to left for tbe circuit. Score 8 to 7, Both scored in the seventh, and in the eighth Millville got another tieiogitbe score once more, while Oape May was unable to cross the plate In the : ninth amid much enthusiasm by tbe I crowd Oape May retired Millville without a run for the first time. Howell first I up singled but was caught at second, i Beckett fanned. Rosen first on an error. Williams strccHpt For Cape May West got a free pass. Stevens sacrificed. Phillips safe on an error. Hines drove to Fisher who threw wild to third and West romped I home with the winning run Hines had hie slants working to per- ' fection and established a record that will likely stand, for the season He i bad Millville lads swingiug like a barn yard gate, 18 men fanning the breezes. West held .all but one who was tossed I out at first Hines retired the side on strikes, in the second and fifth, fanned - two in the fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth, and one in the third, i Milivillie got nine [hits from bis delivery, two being due to Blow fielding . and several coming after the side should have been retired. With proper support Millville's run column should have been represented by an abundant j j harvest of goose eggs. Needles was there with the big stick and did the most damage to Fisher's shoots. He set a standard that will he j bard to equal, batting at 1000 clip and | had the Millville outfielders chasing ' i leather until they were weary. In five 8 ! time up he got two singles, a triple to * j the center field bleachers, a four- " sack drive to left, a complimentary w pass and scored three runs. His single in the first was a ttinger labeled . for the fence. It was too hot for the pitcher to field and caromed off his | hand striking the ump square in the r I back and bounded to centre field. ' I Shield straightened out a couple one ' | a single and the other for two bags and made two neat stops st short. ^ CAPE MAY oflfL mn i
