BOAT LINE ACROSS TBE BAY i Cape NaT aid Lewes la have .Passenger Service this Suner § Oapt. T. Wesley Salmon (and Mr. T. W. Heed, both of Lewes, Delaware, were here Thunder endeavoring to interest citizens of this. city in establishing boat connections between Lewes and Oape May Oity tbe coming eummer. These gentlemen propose to establish passenger service [acroea.the Bay and it Is the intention to make - three or four tripe daily and excursions • on Sunday, the number of trips to j depend on weather conditions, and all they ask of the people of Cape May - is to provide a landing place at Oape May Point The daily tripe are to 8 start tbe first of Jane. Tbe vessel is • t 60ft bug-eye auxiliary boat I? It • beam draws six feet, and will carry • about 70 passengers. The boat is a [ good sea-faring^ vessel, equipped with p a 52 h. p. engine, can make eight knots sn'hour, and; will do^twelve with wind. Besides carrying passengers they will . bring over~ daily vegetable, jtead. chickens!, eggs, flour, crabs, loSetera. r bard and soft shell, crabs, .peaches and other marketable^stuffs in .season. The hold .capacity is SO toil and on tbe trip to Delaware they will deliver at the wharves there any merchandise shipped _ from here. , It is their intention to furnish Oape i May first class . freight and passenger service and if the boat they now own ; is inadequate to answer the requirements they will immediately charter a larger vesael. In case of it being too , rough to make a landing at tbe Point they will enter through Oold Spring and deliver their passengers and frieght at Sewell'a Point or Scbeilenger's .Landing. While here Oapt. Salmon and Mr. met and discussed the plans with a number of members of City j Council, Board of Trade and many men interested in the welfare of Oape May and they were given - considerable encouragement and vir- [ tnally assured that tbe landing would be immediately built, but will be g.ven a definite answer after a meeting to be held tbe first of tbe week. This proposition should meet with 1 tbe hearty support of Oape May peo- . pie, as merchants, hotel men and , others, will derive immense benefit from boat connections between these two »citiea, besides it will be a great : of pleasure for summer visitors and local people to make .tbe pleasant i trip by boat across the Bay to Del- 1 BOWLING NEWS Dudley Moore and Miss Laura Hughes were noticed among those enlosing an evening at bowling. Mr. and Mrs. John P. Doyle enter- ( tained a few friends at the alleys on , evening. Robert Blattner is becoming qnite proficient at duck pins. Paul McDonnell was playing ten , pins Tuesday evening. With a little . practice he would .be .right on the job. j Chester Landis is very fond of poo J and ia often seen enjoying this sport. also rolls some very good scores in dock pins. The young men of the Y. M. O. U. J are frequent visitors to the alleys. A J duck pin match of much interest was ' played early in the week by Dr. Lum- ; mis and Harry Hughes vs. Ted Hughes 1 and Will Nichols. We have several bowlers who fre- 1 quent the alleys that can average one hundred at duck pins. We think that is going some for Oape May. Charles Perot Whiting is among ' the daily visitors to the alleys and thoroughly enjoy a himself at pool and ' bowling. Another enjoyable evening was spent ! at bowling by Hazel Otter, Edith Ethel Otter, Effle Denizot ' Florence Gay ton, Alice Denizot, OsBarnett, Ben Marcy, Chester Albert Little, Oharlee Hand 1 and William Nichols. Those young 1 people have become weekly visitors 1 'the alleys and find macfa pleasure in , this popular sport. John and William Meeray were trytheir lock with the ten pins one 1 evening this week. 1 HALLEY'S COMET \ in troth a mighty wonder, but it ia , not to be compared with the Vacuum for cleaning ran, carpets and upholstered furniture. It is not neoeasary to tear a bouse to piceee in order , to remove tbe dirt aa Vacuum cleaning ia much mere thorough than cluba, be- * ride* it does net stir op any duet.

High School was first to be swarded honors in tbs j comedy line and during the first three . innings kept tbe crowd in excellent t humor by their production. ' Darner opened tbe game by swinging > at one that shot off the wood and i went sailing swiftly to left good for a couple of sacks, but George loafed > on tbe path and pulled up at first ) In the second Cassedy pat his shoulder to one that scorched its way to left ' with a two station tag attached. ■ Frank not being attired; in his sprini ting toga paced along ; slowly and i took a rest at tbe first station. . i These mighty swats frigntened the High School boys and some forget , ! their lines. | None wanted to handle i the sphere and when they did get in - front of a batted bail or could not gel ; | away from one, they were so anxious ■ to get rid of it tnat . it was quickly , discarded to unpopulated regions. Hines was doing the slab work and | • not to be outdone by {bis companions , in distress, positively refused to put , 'em over, and issued £nine passes dur- j ing the argument. In the meantime 1 eix Reserves trotted leisurely around , the circuit. Then High School made ] several switches.ln their lineup and for | the balance of the distanoe.acted pretty , decent only one more Reserve making the voyage. j On the contrary tbe Reserves were ( not affected wjtn stage fright in ] the least and played winning ball from tbe jump ana picked them off at first in rotation. They got in front of every thing the High ' School boys could land on, who by the < were very tame with the stick. « the fifth Dorner came to the front ' with the circus catch of the day on a scoop of a low drive by Hines, and went to tbe mat on the play but came up squeezing the leather, f was 6n the hill and while he served benders had. High Scnool guessing all the way. Two widely separated were made and only three reached 6 in safety,2but they contrived to ' sneak a runner around in the fourth. ( retired in the sixth. Score 6-1. ^ In tbe seventh Oassedy started to dig aand in front of the plate, but , could not coax; his salary arm to swinging properly. Cassedy, like most veterans of tbe game, is a warm weather artist, and being adapted to t the hot rays of old "Sol" felt rather t chilly so he went energetically to work I wrapped comfortably in mid-winter 1 attire. After issuing three passes and ® couple of wild tosses. High School slipp«J across the pan with a counter, j teem mates then decided to help out ot trouble and retired the aide j pulling off some fast fielding. In the eighth the Reserves grabbed •] glory in the comedy stnnt. About this time the Finance Commit- j passed around for contributions, and i tbe hard, tin .was .tossed recklessly into the bat Charles Shields became >] enthused with the idea that the crowd not getting their money's worth { and started to create a little extra amusement by throwing m some "rag y time." Choy had never been rated j above the ordinary as a dispenser of but bis work Saturday com- i pellvd the people to take notice.
