' NEWS OF j TIffi BEACH MANY' INTERESTING SIGHTS ALONG 0 THE BEACH AND ON THE BOARDWALK— DANCING OH THE BEACH IS POPULAR — BASEBALL AND 0 . TENNIS EACH HAVE A PLACE. 0 Summer wi-ather has returned once more. We lied begun to think that the - sun was never going to shine again, 0 and were wondering what would become of the batters. The last two days the heavy northeaster kept the strand cleared. It had begun to take on the appearance of the deserted village, bat •'Old Sol" came out in all his glory about noon yesterday. Many bathers flocked to the beach to greet their old friends and to make new ones. For you know the beach is the 0 social circle of the resort. A game of baseball on the strand was witnessed by a large crowd in the pavilion. The game wag very interesting. A paddle was used as a bat and the ^ ball was soft Further down the beach we could see the outline of a tennis court drawn on the sand and where several young men were deep in - this || fascinating sport. There have been a number of disv appointed people at the shore. That's 0 rather hard to believe, but it is really e so. And the reason that they were f feeling 90 badly was that it-has been f such nice weather that they have beer P unable to wear tlieir sporty and smart looking top coats until yesterday and e the day before, when the cool winds bl< w just a little.Many unusual sights find their wjv to the Boardwalk. There is the woman who carries a gray eat on heshoulder and the man who used to have a monkey for a shoulder pet. 1 There are innumerable toy dogs both animated and stuffed, to say nothing of Ken-pies who are almost as great fi'orites as the Teddy Bear used to 1 The fascinating collar bouquets or single roses, arc infinitely more a v. ® ^ tractive than cats or monkeys as a ' shoulder decoration. THE SEA-GOERS > £ "Ah!" cried the Viking's daughter as . she caught the flying spray in her tgdiant face, "a life on the ocean wave for me! Isn't it perfectly gotgcpis Algiet" JX)h-h-h, yeas," gurgled Algie, making a break for the rail, "Oh, yes, — ah— ab * — disgorgeous." Dancing on the beach to the strains, of music floating from the pavilion is ' a great fad. The hurricane dance is a name that could well be applied to some performances of the Fox Trot. ' '' I • V :

( The. slender youthful dancers who expressed grace and rythm were charm- | I ing. but they were so few. One must think poetically to dance like Corot's nymphs. The middle aged fat twir'ing dervishes were tragically comical. *o oblivous were they of the picture they presented pushing one another* stiff joints and vertebrae through the merry maze. Truly a laughable sight. The ] ; astounding feats of the professional ] 1 couple and the nimble charm o ' tbt. 1 Rose pink fairy were a delight and 1 greatly appreciated. CHARLES C.

BIG TENNIS I TOURNAMENT 5 prepiulihu under way for annuai. tennis tournament 1 ¥0 be held monday morning 3 — personal jottings about 1 those who played on the LINKS' during the day. Though we have had an unusually Micceaafnl season at the Golf dub, wc ( have had a feeling that, like the girl in j ^ tbt song, there was "something miss- i in|f," but we were so involved in the ^ general hurly burly that it seemed im. < 1-o-rible to spare the time to investi- 1 gate.. ^ Iu casual glances we have noticed that Jack would stand at the desk with c ^ a sort of reproachful expression cloud- 1 ing his classic features, Charles and Henry wore injured looks and Bobb and j Grange seemed to be suffering with , ennui. A sudden loss of interest in \ the golf game showed the situation was ; t getting serious, but still w^ didn't . tumble. The puzzle was solved today 1 - j when a committee timidly queried t "Why can't we have a tennis tourna- 1 ment for a change like we had last t summer." Of course there wasn't any ^ "why," only nobody had thought of it J and the preps had been too busy win- j II ing golf tournaments to waste time on e Naturally when the war scare caused Cl a Midden drop in handicaps golf lost Killing of. its interest. Hence the sud- n den renewal of tennis ties. Once" the v nbMucles were removed, things went along with characteristic haste.

But on account of the difficult 'position of the blaze, it was a hard matter to get in under control. 1 And it was not until the, flames had 1 climbed to the very top of the spire, . that they were extinguished. I The falling sparks from the top oecas- ( ionally started the flames in tLe lower portion of the steple. After an hour ' and a half of hard fighting the flames 1 finally extinguished, i This makes the fourth fire within . the last four days, and on each occasthe Cape May Volunteer Fire De. partment lias rendered efficient ser1 vice. But they are to be heartily commended upon th valuable work done in this last conflagration. • Rev. W. Dwyre McCurdy has built a good congregation during liis pastorate here, and he, with his eongregstion will look for a site to erect a new j edifice. The loss is estimated at 83,000, and is 1 covered by insurance. No doubt the ( loss would have been much greater had it not been for the fact that the fire entirely confined to the spire, and ' vestibule, as a result of the waf&. 1 Ashton Gilbert, son of President Wm.
