BE NOMINATED FOR ASSEMBLY The Republican voters of Cape May County always prove fair-minded in the wind up and are usually well informed upoli current events and upon the doing* and reputations of those who represent the people in the various offices. This is the big reason why they will re-nomi-nate Cliirstopher S. Hand for Assemlby a majority which may cap anything given to a candidate for a nomiua(1) He has served creditably one year in the House of Assembly. From time immemorial in this county, a man who has served acceptably one year has been invariably, accorded a Becond nomination and election. (2) Assemblyman Hand made a recon. in several particulars during -the session which would be a credit (a) He was always on "deck." - <b) He never missed a session. (c) He never missed a committee meeting. (d) Before the session was very old, he was ranked by the Speaker and other officers of the House, among the reliable members who could be depended upon for any duty for wbicn he was responsible, his record is absolutely unsullied by any error in voting or in conduct and in a new member unaccustomed to the wayB of a legislature, this is a great achievement. Re publican voters have wisely determined to act with their customary fairness and return to the House one who did all in his power to serve them faith fully and well during his first year. FOR WALTER M. HOMAN, SHERIFF Mr. Editor: May 1 say a word for my neighbor and friend of many years, Walter M. Ilomin, who a« a candidate for the Republican nomination for Sheriff, is now the public t Neighbors in the course of fifteen or years, get some very well defined opinions of each other and are very apt penetrate through superficials and get down to the "real thing" which a represents. A right-minded man will notice the industry, the energy and the steadfastof a neighbor in his efforts at upand making a place for his and himself, and he will rejoice in his successes and lament his failures. In smaller communities there comes be a sort of a feeling as though all one large family and the success of any member of it becomes the happiness of all or vice versa the failures or misfortunes of any, a sadness and dis aster to be felt by all. This is a prosy introduction to the word I desire to say for Walter M. Hocandidate for nomination as Sheriff on the Republican ticket at the coming primaries. I have known him from his boyhood as neighbor and in business. He was quite a boy. Nobody ever accused him . of lacking in vitality or of being afraid of effort when he wanted to accomplish anything. He had enough energy to a locomotive. When he entered into manhood he carried his energy with him , and anybody for whom he worked will tell you that he never failed to do all that was required of him and more. He bothered the clock and didn't carry , a watch excepting Sunday, for an oma 1 meat. He now has a business of his own and his reliability has mule it. a large one. and one which is constantly growing. Another element in hie business sue roes is this— He is a square man. He ' : th^^^Wproamma W_ performs ^

Ho. nun, tlie nomination for Sheriff 1 for which he asks and do it gracefully i ' by a large majority. Knowing the boy " and the man which has developed, I believe they will find him to be one of the best men who have ever held the _ office. He has all the qualities to make ( A NEIGHBOR. ! .

The Final Yachting Event INQUIRER FINALS SATURDAY Boats Entered From Eight Clnbs And ( The Keenest Interest Aroused Along , The Whole Coast. Yachtsmen all along the Jersey coast ! a re loo king forward with great expecancy to the final racee in The Inquirer's I annual regatta for power boats, which 1 will be held at Cape May this coming ! Saturday, September 3. , Seldom in the history of motor boat I iug has any series of races created so j much favorable comment, aroused so much enthusiasm or done so much to j promote the motor boat sport, as have > The Inquirer races. In consequence of 1 in Borne way or ojher when the starting j this fact every yacht club along the / coast of New Jersey will be represented ' when the starting ' gun booms at Cape j May next Saturday. EIGHT CLUBS REPRESENTED Eight clubs will be represented In the j final races, Beach Haven, Cape May, < Holly Beach, Ocean City, Wildwood, Sea ' isle City, The Barnegat Bay Racing "As j sociation and Stone Harbor. The last < named is one of the more recent organi- I ations at one of the new summer re- j sorts. Organized a little more than six , months ago, they now possess an almost i completed $10,000 club house beautiful ' located on a $10/100 plot of ground, j All the clubs mentioned have bad their preliminary races during the summer, the first one being held at Beach on the first of July. The boats 1 which won in the various classes at these < preliminaries will be eligible to enter in ' the finals. During the coming week, owners, ship ( doctors, engineer and other enthusiasts 1 will be busy tinkering with engines tun- ' them up to the finest turn, pu%ping ] out • bilges, Meaning decks, polishing' i and varnishing wood work. Mys- ' terioue conversations win be held in se- 1 eluded corners of club bouses between j and engineers of boats, as to the most efficient way in which to get the best possible speed out of their craft, ' and frequent and hurried trip# will bs J made to nearby cities in order to procure a certain fine piece of machinery a certain important valve which is absolutely necessary to perfect the run- 1 ning of the boat. The Cape Mayites bod probably in J their preliminaries one of the most spec- J tnculnr regattas along the coast. The S weather on their race day was ideal and ] there was just enough breeze blowing J the channel to counterbalance the - effect of the rays of the sun. Their 1 finishes were thrilling to the extreme. < B. I. Gibbons'* Meteor won the first 1 class speed boat race was won by Robert E. Hkpd'H Lady M. The open launch race won by B. I. Gibbon's Bess and the cruiser class race by Peter Shield's Idaho. 1 Everything is now being put in readi 1 ness for the finals. 1 Mr. H. E.

He further wishes to state that all boats must have their bilges pumped dry, must have gasoline suf- ( ficient to go over a twenty mile course f and that the weights of the crew must t the same as in the race. This is , particularly neeessary in the speed boat class, where a few pounds owing to the e displacement makes a great differ ). A word dT caution to owners, while perhaps unnecessary, - is timely. Noth- , must ho taken off nor put on a boat after the is measured. Any violation or J this nUe will be cause for disqualifies- 1 tion.

SEVERAL PLEASANT TALES TOLD " Say" Congren Hall is Sold to a j Well Known Gentleman— Stockton to Get 9100,000 Improvements And a Pier J To be Bnilt. There are always rumors at the cloao * of the season of good things, to come and if these rumors were all to come true, we would have everything any resort * couia want. Mr. Kearns, a reoognizod authority says: "Never believe northing " 3 you hear at the close of the season* but this is a little too comprehensive to i suit any sure enough optimist, who wants to believe all he can. One of the rumors just now is that Congress Hall been sold to a very enterprising and highly esteemed gentleman already deeply interested, in Cape May in a financial sense, as wall as otherwise. If it comes true everybody would more «k.n i delighted. We hate to investigate it too closely, however, for we are afraid it would no^ pan out good. Another rumor is that $100/106 or so to be spent on Stockton Hotel to it a first class up-to-date hostelry, and the ousses have already been taken away to be rebuilt. How we would like believe it! That last section spoils it, however, for no first class, bang up, sure ' thing, modem hotel, is going to use rebuilt, antiquated coaches. It has to liave auto service. The next story is more promising, Dr. 3 is. H. Brown, one of our Philadelphia cottagers is interested in a movement to organize a company for the building of s pier and has an option on an elgi ble site at the foot of Jefferson street ' owned hf Sol Needles. He had raised OiSflOO on Wednesday and will close the matter up when $20, 0M is subscribed, from a financial standpoint a pier properly opilt and bnndled is a "sure thing* and Or. Brown is a good m«n to take no.a of such an enterprise. Thisrumor is the most definite and is very likely "" to come true. BURLINGTON FOR GARDNER Congressman Gardner apparently has to fear from the nebulous rum ore . of a mysterious fight which is to be put against bim by certain equally undetermined enemies in the Second District. So far as Burlington county is concerned there is an overwhelming senin favor of his return to thn of Representatives where he has so faithfully served his constituents, and he will bs given the great majority at "this county^ Sixty-six votes in the convention to be held at Cape May on Sep tember 15, if, indeed, he does not receive . practically an unbroken vote from Burlington.— New Jersey Mirror. There is nothing to indicate any hostility to Gardner in Cape May County and he is likely to receive the vote ot the full delegation. A SPRINT TO CAPE MAY An auto party oocsiting of Mr. and -iquilla Jones, and daughter, of Mt. noIly. Mr. and Mre. Wm. Cowperthwaite and family and soiss Anna Shinn, of Medford, N. J., started from those points Saturday morning, August at nine o'clock for a spin to Gape over the famous roadway to the place. They found it all that could De desired, except in a few places. called on many friends and relaon the way reaching here at 6 o'clock P. M., all in time to register at the Yifginia for a brief stay.
