! GUNNERS AXIOUS FOR g| REED BIRD SEASON . i Local gunners are anxiously i 'awaiting advice from the state ir ' commission as to whether they a i will be permitted to gun for reed;e ' birds on September 1, byt the saate ~ 1 F&h and game Commission of New g | Jersey announced last week that ic it he question could not be" answered k , at the present time. From inforh mat ion received from Washington is 'at the office, of the state. Commission in Trenton, it appears that the if i question cannot be decided by the u , federal authorities until the last s week in August, and the answer to i-| the question at that time must Is | come from Washington. 1 The federal government has pro- 1 1- liibited the shooting of reedbirds, o apd before any season is opened 1 d itiie government must give a three r- months' notice, in order to hear ob- ! cctions, etc., if there be any. The ; notice for the proposed reed bird season for September and October I was not issued by the federal govn ernment until the last week in May. r The time for final adoption will l" probably be the last week in August, but no notice for an open season can become effective until le signed by the president of the Unitt- ed States. The state fish and F game commission of New Jersey makes this announcement in ans . wer to inquiries regarding the matter. I. 8.

A NEW REGIME ' AT THE CAPE MAY FARMSTEAD r We would ask you who reads this, whether a permanent resi- ' dent Cape May, or a summer visitor, to make a visit to the Cape May Farmstead, where improvements in all directions have been effected since last season. Here you will see an up-to-date Dairy, a magnificent Herd of Jersey Cattle, Tuberculin tested, and a Poultry and Duck Farm that can hardly be excelled. In addition, the herd is under the direct inspection of the State -Veterinarian. The Cows are groomed twice daily, and Udders aye carefully washed before each milking. Each milker wears a white linen suit and the Milk is drawn from the Cow into covered Sterilac Milk Pails which are furnished with a double set of strainers to pie vent any foreign matter contaminating the milk. The Dairy is'fitted with all known appliances to ensure the purity of the milk, and all mechanical work is done by electricity. To take all these precautions and provide the best appliances, bat been an enormous expense, and why has this been done ' so that our patrons should have such absolutely pure milk that it can hardly he surpassed no matter what source it comes from. .Milk is ackn ovledged to l»c so necessary an article of diet that no precaution taken can he too^ great to ensure. its reliability. Commencing with the lirst of June we will supply select family milk, with a 5% butter fat test at 20c per quart. This will lie supplied only in paper non-refillable bottles. The nursery Milk will be sold at 15c per quart and the household milk at lOe per quart. , Speaking of the Poultry Department, we will have 300') broilers and 1500 Ducklings to supply* our patrons, and the supply of newly laid eggs unlimited. All our birds are alfalfa fed to produce t that sweet and tender flesh which is so desirable h. connoisseurs. We also have a large acreage planted with all kinds and var icties of \ up-to-date vegetables which will be supplied direct to your door daily by our largo Truck Wagon. Do not .stand in doubt, but give our. products a trial and we goarant e you will lie perfectly satisf.ed. The entire plant is under the practical management of * GEO. C. REA.

SKEE BALLING | AT NEW HOTEL FAMOUS ATHLETIC PITCHER MAY BE SEEN HERE IN .MATCH WITH A. J. CARTY —TWO NEW ALLEYS lN-j" STALLED BY THE J. D.1 ESTE COMPANY. ' ' If From ilcuJttv s Daily Star and Wave, i "Chief" Albert Bender, tlie £u- , iiious Atldetie baseball pitcher. ■ may be seen in the near future at : the Hotel Cape May in a chmp kinship matdVof skee balling with ; A. J. Caftv. of the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. Two skee- ball alleys have been . completed in tlie Hotel Cape Mpy . and are alongside the bowling al- . I leys. They are the first in Cape ■ May county with the exception of . two alleys in Wildwood. They will . . not only be open to guests of the [ hotel but the public will be invit- . ed to come in and enjoy the sport. "Chief" Bender is one of tlie | most expert skee-ballers in the . country but was defeated by Mr. | Carty on June 2. These two gen- • tlemen are the best players "in the . business and an effort will be . made to have the two parties campete in a rejurn match at the new Hotel for the championship of Pennsylvania. . The new sport is similar to that r of bowling inasmuch as balls are ' rolled on an alley and then are ^ shot upward by an incline into a receptacle. The sport is very fascinating. ■ SHORTAGE OF FISH ADVANCES THE PRICE A short supply and excellent demand have caused a sharp advance in prices for fresh fish in tlie wholesale market at the wharf. Fish of all kinds are selling higher than they have sold since last winter. when they were very searee. 1 A heavy storm on the coast of New i Jersey and light catches made in the Bay fisheries are assigned *s the causes of tlie shortage, which prevailed th" greater part of last week. CIIKLWOOD WINS MANY PRDii-U-JIow many tropin^ has K l. J K. Leniiig won in his cruiser CJn'1wood ? This question can only be I answered by the Corinthian 'Yacht Club skipper, who has been at the wheel of his boat in many important races held' under ft lie direct ion I of the Delaware River Ya<*ht Racing Association and the South Jersey clubs. Tlie Ohelwood repre- ' sent.s the Cape May Club in South j Jersey races, and this is Captain Lcnnig.'s first active season among \ the shore yachtsmen. His h6at lias been the most consistent win- . nee of any boat in the South Jersey Association.
