The Sand Man Of the Beach THE BATHERS AND PROMEHADERS How the Throngs on the Strand Enjoy Themselves These Bright Days— Snapshot of the Young and Those who Stay Young. .Sundays crowd waa easily the record crowd of the season and possibly the ( largest crowd seen here for years if J the verdict of the old timers is to be , credited and luckier than Saturday's throng, for no one lieeded to be helped f I in from beyond the breakers. j ! The life guards were on the alert j however for "having secured not less , than eight during the week's end they - are continually watching for mishaps. , | The old saw has it that the "Mills of the gods grind slowly" and even so j I some fashions change — not the fashion of ladies hats— oh, nol But the fash- , ionable hour for bathing used to be j from ten until twelve and now it has j changed to eleven-thirty to one and two ' o'clock. Paasibly the reason for the , hour being in the morning is that the , - luncheon hour isn't interferred with, ] yet slowly and surely the afternoon Is , pressing forward claims to the right , of the bathing hour and some day when everyone recognises the difference, the , change for the better will be made and every one will go in after the heat of ( t the day is over and feel much better j because of the change. The latest fad of the surf is the taking of a pardner for the bath as you would take a companion for a dance. The old dispensation of things let one happened to meet on the strand providgo in for the hour with whoever one ing that that one was a former acquaint- ^ ance or friend. Then some wise chaperone saw that the possibility of newacquaintances was so great and that the young people were taking this means to secure new friends with out the formality of an introduction as they met ( in the crowd and was literally thrown at one anothers heads. In fact as one goes in with the crowd J there seems to be a sort of feeling of . good fellowship, and pray wha is good fellowship but a brotherly feeling. And being so nothing is more natural and ' proper than getting acquainted with your brother— of course not, and there you are. ) But now. the fad is the taking of a 1 partner before going in, and some carry 1 it so far as to make up a card as far ' as a week ahead, and still advancing, ' ' many divide their card so that they ' take part of the bath .with one person ' - and the remainder with another. At that rate one need not be sur- ' prised to see at an early date the bath- 1 ing hour divided in sets for a few minutes each with a different partner for ' each one or perhaps the favored one may * get two just to be a trifle daring. ' While at it why not have a convcn- 1 ient band play a few dreamy waltzes ; to make it more realistic and perhaps ' Neptune could be persuaded to be mas- 1 ter o£ ceremonies and the mermaids to decorate the surf, then bathing would ' be simply grand and at the same time ' one would be adhering to the strictest ' rules of conventionality and one's chaperone could not possibly object. But at the same time there are those ' who do not like the new rule and still " tsick to the old .way of doing things 1 At the best it is only a fad and being ' such will probably last but a short time. 1 Probably originating in the upper sets 1 r of Newport this fad has spread along the " coast until today we are passing it along ' to the next resort just to keep it on the ' - mora and to show others that we are ' entirely up-to-date. I Among others on the strand and in I the curl of the waves we noticed: ' Mrs. Barstow, of Bala, and her sis- [ tar Mrs. H. Smith were seen during the ' hour in the surf. I Miss Katherine Moorehead was one of ' | the fair bathers of the day. Miss Margaret MeCabe forsook the ' golf course for the cooler breezes of the . Miss Margaret Smith and sister. Miss ' Evlyn Smith, two charming young la- 1 dies who are summering here were in for ' y the day. 1 Miss Adelia Williams a pretty ' . brunette from Baltimore was a bather ' of the morning. Rev. J. L. Levy has joined the throng ' of regulars. ' Mrs. Prank Welsh becomingly attired in one of the popular striped blue and I ' white suits joined the regulars several' days ago and is in for the dip every | fine day. ' The Misses levy are among the regu- 5 lars and seem to enjoy their daily bath. ( Miss Bertima Hallowell accompanied , ; by her sister, Miss Ethel Hallowell en- , joyed the hoar in the breakers, j Miss Elanor Rogers joined the surf dwellers of the dsy. Miss Rogers is so 1 attractive blonde and possesses one of ] the finest figures cm the strand. 1 IHaa Annie K tinkle and Miss EH«h» 1 Parker were down on the strand in their ] pretty red-trimmed acuta. ] Miss Su*anne Campion was among j

those who enjoyed the coolness of the . surf. Mr. and Mrs. Hebeuer came over from ' South Cape May and joined the crowd | The two Misses Miller joined the fair ' bathers of the morning. Miss Mary McCabe spent the hour on ' the strand and in the rollers. , Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. McCabe en- ^ ' joyed the scene from their tent. . Mice Marie Starr came down with a 1 party of friends and greeted the Cora II ^ as the pretty boat cruised along the shore well out beyond the break. Miss Leanore Russell one of the most | ' popular young ladies on the strand Was , accompanied by her brother, Bert Rus- | 1 sell, during the hour. Mrs. Hewitt with her two charming daughters, Miss Florence and Miss Mary Hewitt joined the promenaders. Miss Beyette Paul was in for the dip with several friends. Miss Marie Ten Broeck was in the turf for a dip and then a long sun bath. J Miss Annette Dpvis spent the morning in the breakers. 1 The Misses Wilmaen were among those ' who enjoyed the hour in the roughest 4 They are numbered among the j pretty figures on the strand. Wister Harvey enjoyed the novelty of j surf dip in preference do his usual j round on the golf links. Bowman and Miss MMakay W eft among those who spent the morning in the rollers and on the sands. Miss Licbten was in for the hour amid tlie rollers. j Mrs. Tanny accompanied by equally f charming her sister, Miss Neil E. Lein- t enjoyed some time in the breakers. c GOOD WORE BY LOCAL TEAM \ Collegians Playing Great Ball in the Field, with the Stick and on Bases. The Cape May Collegians passed 1 } through the July schedule with colors f , Dying, being victorious in seventeen of the J twenty contests played, their speedy s work on the diamond delighting many j admiring fans. Hie team is now going js at top notch and if they continue the i fast stride of the past month through August there can be- no doubt as to the class of exhibitions the enthusiasts will ' be treated to. The schedule as arranged is a hard one, but barring accident the team uiijl be equal to the test and will most likely, be on the long end of a large maj&rity of the games. \ The work of Simley, Loveland and Aldendifer in the infield is of the first water, they making many stops of hard drives in marvelous style. Smiley is playing the third bag at it has not been covered in Cape May in many seasons, 8 and has brought the crowd to its feet b oftener than anyone else. At the initial 0 bag Cozens is improving with every game t and is reaching further and covering t ground than early in -the season. I Wood and Diebert in the out garden t are playing almost an errorless game, 8 getting many hard drives that would t undoubtedly go for extra bases. With t Lou Machado back in right this week t you may rest assured that very few 1 balls will get away from that trio of e fleet-footed outfielders. \ t Harold Schwenck, on the reserve list t I of the Pittsburg National League team c , ben secured by Manager Brown- c . miller and will greatly strengthen the £ pitching department Schwenck Will report at Ocean City today.

I , On the receiving end Satizahn has been t , doing great work and is getting more c | classy with ever ygame and has not had , equal as a back stop at Columbia 1 Park this season. c The team is hitting the ball hard and t timely and will greatly worry any 1 , pitcher that faces them. The team 1 , averages is .323. t Wood contiuuos to be the Premier t > batsman and is clubbing the ball with ( a vengeance and is a terror to the visit- t , ing pitchers. Jene is leading the team t , with an average of 447. Wood's home c run hitting has become a great feature I , at Columbia Park, having hit over left field fence for the circuit eight times, r . Diebert is the hard luck batter of the t team, and has more hard drives gather v ed in by opposing fielders than any a , other player. .• : f Of the long distance hitters Wood is i 1- , leading with eight .home runs, one three j t and six two sack drives. | 1 Cozens has made three home runs, t . one three sack drive and nine two base | " jhite. s Loveland two three baggers and two t doubles.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C A STO R I A OUR ANCESTORS WENT TO THE SEASHORE New York World, July 29, 1910 The lure at the seashore is no# at its strongest. Whether looking forward or to vacation, or dreaming of that does not materialize at all, the tired business mau s fancy lightly turns thoughts of Coney, Rockaway, Long Beach, Fire Island or somewhere down the Jersey coast between Sandy Ilook and Cape May. Even the anxious politician forgets Albany and Washington scan tlie horizon in the direction of the summer capitals, Beverly and Oyster Independently of all other considerations, it is generally thought worth while to travel" half the distance across continent for the sake of eating fresh clams, hearing the surge and thnnder of the surf, and filling the lungs with good salt sea air. Places change, but the customs docs not. A generation ago Long Branch was -not only the summer capital, but was also a luxurious Babylon by the sea. Grant lived there, and President died there. The Atlantic City crowds of today swarmed tlie beaches day and illiupinated them by night the whole shore front of Monmouth But long before that time, when AtCity was Absecon, and known only to oysterraen — -when Rockaway was the exclusive resort of New York's Four Hundred, as chronicled by Nathaniel Parker Willis and George P. Morris in the "Mirror," a fashionable paper which they held up to society and literature — May was already Everything that the modern seaside mentioned have since It was even a summer capital one season, when Benjamin Harrison was President. Cape May, though perhaps out of the running in these latter years, has a picturesque and historib past as a tidewater pleasure place that is unrivaled anywhere this side of Old Point Com-j More than a century ago, when the j | locality was known as Cape Island, and ' the Point itself was called Sea Grove, J Ellis Hughes kept tlie Atlantic Hote" J there, and advertised in the Philade Iphfe | "Daily Aurora" newspaper that "the subscriber has prepared himself for entertaining company who use sea bathing, and is accommodated with extensive' house room, with fish, oyster, crabs and good liquors." It took twenty- four hours then to drive, post, or ride horseback from Philadelphia to Oape May, and twice as long sometimes to sail down the Delaware by sloop. Toward the miiddle of the century, when railroad travel had begun to cut down time and distancee, it was possible to leave Philadelphia in th. mornand reach Oape May late in the afterof the same day. Henry Oay did this in the summer of 1847. A great commotion was aroused . ... r

y Daniel Webeter as the country's favorite states man. Horace Greeley, a ruing e political journalist, came down from New York by steamboat to see him. Feminine admirers did not precisely "Hobsonize" 0 Clay with harmless kisses, but tradition 7 says they did cut off most of his hair 4 in keepsake" locks. 3 Fire nearly wiped out Cape May as a hotel and cottage settlement in 187fi nut it stHl has its storied past, and possibly a substantial future. In any event, it helps to remind us that our American seaside places are not necessarily dc- - j" void of "background"— the one respect in which they may possibly be legarded at outrivaled by English Brighton, Frecnh Trouville, Belgain Ostend, or ' Spanish San Sebastian. SUMMER SCHOOL'S 1 ANNUAL EXHIBIT The annual exhibit of the Cape May I school of Agriculture, Industrial Art J and Science occurred yesterday and was , seen by many visitors. Among the feat- ' ures of the occasion was the examina- [ lion by a eommittee of Oape May sum- • mer visitors of the plans and decorations i of rooms as exhibited by students In Applied Design and the selection of the designs showing most taste and fitneaa. This committee conaisted of Mrs. Katharine Ramsey Hill, of Washington, D. C., Rev. N. V. Cosssboon, Miss Mary HPresstman and Miss Leila Beed, of Phil- ] delphia.

E. Walther, bed room and dining room by Miss Lillian Brown, dining l room by Miss Sadie Brewster, bed room, j by Miss Belle A Canby. I RESOLUTIONS The student body of the Cape May 5 School of Agriculture, Industrial Art and Science, of the session of 1810, comprised of teachers, .principals, supervising • principals and superintendents from all parts of New Jersey, believing that the function of the public schools is to train the children for efficiency, and to place them in the closest harmony with life, and believing that these ends are best obtained by means of a curriculum which 1 educates the body to do things at the same time it is teaching the mind t< k 1 r ■
