A Century of Cape Kay IT WAS THE SUMMER CAPITAL IN HARRISON'S TIME. Henry Clay Went Swimming There Twice a Day in 1874, Thereby Loiing Much Hair irom His Head — Admirers On the Beach Cut II Off for Souvenirs— Resort in Old Days. Monday's New York Evening Post contained the following interesting article. ft is by something of a coincidence that the friend, whom f shall call the Expariate, is my companion, with Whom I have visited other and and far distant water places: Dinard and Trouville for example. And while we were walking down the plaiform here, just after alighting from the Pennsylvania express, my friend spoke deprecatiugly of the "unfortunate ah since of anything like 'background' 111 American — er seaside places." Now that the Expatriate — whom I call that because he has lost touch with New Jersey conditions through residing too long in the Hue Uaranciere — sow that the Expatriate and 1 have come ' to acclimate ourselves here at Cape May. ' we have developed an affection for the place, with its perfect strand, its well- ' kept oottages, its orderly visitors (so many of them Baltimoreans and Pbila- ' delphi&ua), and iu quiet way of summer life. Even the tumble down hotels, ' that somehow just fail to attain picturesqueneu, favorably impress the Expa- ' triate. 1 A CAPE WITH A HISTORY. ' "They prove, in their ugly way, that the place has a past," he says, in ex ten- ' tuition. 1 Most visitors can evoke no enthusiasm 1 for these hotels of blessed memory. Take Congress Hall, for example. It is ' one of the houses which has had the ' •ourage to confess failure, and to put * up abutters mil the year round. Yet the ' present building data* from the early ' eighties, and two earlier structures, ths 1 first of them erected in 1816, were burned ' to the ground before the brick wall of * today rose in the hope of capturing a ! ooy clientele. And Congress Hall is one ! of the newer houses, compared with

others that I might name, were this to be a town-history. As early as 1C38 whalers from New Haven and Long Island visited the Cape, j Ten years later, the place received the f honors of print, being referred to in ths "Description of New Albion" of Sir Edmund Plowden ("Beauclinmp Plan tall genet"), published at London. There w ere, to be sure, no hotels here in these days. Yet it is more than a century e since Postmaster Ellis Hughes of Cape Island anhounoed in the Philadelphia s Daily Aurora (June SO, 1801): that the Subscriber has prepared himself for entertaining company who use sea bathing, and is accommodated with ex- 1 tensive house room, with fish, oysters, t crabs, and good liquors. 1 j "Care will be taken of gentlemen's J 1 j horses," continues the advertisement, { 1 "and the situation is beautiful, just at j 1 J the confluence of the Delaware Bay with j 1 the Ocean, in sight of the Light House, — ' s at Cape "May Point, that is: or Sea ' s Grove," as it used to be caUed." The 1 Sea Grove itself, where no one knows < how many camp-meetings of the United : Brethren have been held, still stands a ' I shelter for long-legged mosquitos. But ( to return to Ellis Hughes, mine host: 1 , Carriages may be driven along the ' ' margin of the ocean for miles, and will « , scarcely make an impression upon the ' sand; the slope of the shore is so reg- 1 | ular that persons may wade a great ■ ' distance. It is the most delightful spot 1 t the citizens can retire to in the hot sea- t : And said citizens might post there from ) Coopers Ferry "on Thursday in every i week, and arrive at Cape Island on Friday," starting home again on IViday t or Tuesday, arriving in Philadelphia on e the following day. Ellis Hughes's hotel s was the "Atlantic"; and it drew to the d shore the great-great-grandfathers of those who sit beside me on the broad ' piazzas of the Hotel Cape May. In this year, when there are two sum mer capitals— one on the Sound, and a | second on the north shore of Massa- 1 chusetts — it is interesting to recall those days of an earlier Republican Presi- r dency, when the summer capital lay t to Washington, and was und:- 1 r vided; when it brought to Cape May | ■ all who had need to call upon one Benja- I | min Harrison, at his cottage, rented j from a member of his Cabinet — John i > Wanamaker. The white cottage — it is ' 1 no" more — that was for a time the sum-

mer Executive Mansion, stood upon the ] Point, hard by the ancient Oarieton and the old Shoreham; made over, this f last, as a retreat for the sister* of St. '■ Joseph, a teaching order, wboe* mother house is at Chestnut Hill, near Pbila- ' delphia. But the politicians pass by j Cape May, now. Atlantic City, as we ( call it — the Absecon of earlier genera S tions, and known to oystermen alone— ' attracts the smaller fry. Politician* of j a larger cast must hie the to Oyster J Bay or Beverly. And none so poor to 1 do Cape May reverence— none, that is, ^ but the Expatriate. When President Harrison chose this j resort as his retreat from office-seekers, t and his refuge from oppressive heat of * Washington, the place liad already wea- t thered' more seasons than the modern summer capitals can now boast. For i in those years between the advertisement j j of the Atlantic Hotel by Postmaster t | Hughes, and the occupancy of -Postmas- t ' ' ter-General Wanamaker's cottage by j President Harrison, the population of ( the place had doubled more than once. I As early as 1815 sloops began running J down from- Philadelphia, in the season; j often .requiring two days for the voy- t age. Commodore Decatur was an early 1 visitor. In 1847 came Henry Clay. This was late in -August, and the sum- 1 mer colony was already partially dis- 1 banded. With the announcement of the | advent of "Harry of the West," the colony renewed itself, and a great deal more. Two steamboats full of admirers came from New York alone, and Horace Greeley besought the Kentuckians to journey' north to visit his town, too. But Clay declined. HENRY CLAY IN THE SURF. Transportation facilities had improved since Ellis Hughes's oay. The Kentucky statesman left Philadelphia on the morning of August 10, and reached t!.e Cups I ' that cxiue afternoon, making tin Man- 1 0 sio'n House his headquarters, 'i raditiou j says that Clay bathed twice daily, and I 2- that be Ic.t much of his hair as a result, >. because udmiring women -clipped otf locks e for keepsakes while he sunned himself 1 upon the beach. The old days of Cape May are gone. ' Yet the recollection of them cheers the e returned Expatriate, my companion. He » likes to chat with oldest inhabitant b about the lime when descendants of the 1 Cavaliers drove north all the way from 1 Georgia — with blacK coachmen and footmen in scarlet laced livery, ami .1 whole retinue of slaves as attendants. While f we trduge over the links, or are returning I 1 from the tennis courts or the Yacht ' . Club, be tells me bow those of the old- , time summer-people who did not drive ( hither in state traveled by water from 1 Philadelphia, or even from New York, " I on the ships which plied between that , j city and the -Qhaker capital, and discharged passengers for Cape May 011 j I boats, through the sui 1 . Even the 1 . successive fires which have purified the j , settlement have tlieir romance lor him — . for the great fire of October, 1678, which 1 consumed seven or eight iio.-telries and forty cottages, was by no means the 1 first oT them. , "Don't forget that Cape .Hay has a future as well as a past," 1 reminded ' unromantically. '"With the government pouring out millions, and hoi lowing out the new artificial harbor, the good old days are boitud to return. No slaves, to be sure but \erbaps Cape May wiU attract the Philadelphia poligreat water trip down from New York, j when that same new land-locked harbor | is completed." t "I'm not going to like it, then," sighs ' the Expatriate's premature regret sound- c ed perfectly sincere; but who can be h where persons of his type really • do stand ?
