CAPE MAY AS ARES0RT A center* aoo — has always taxis sin as .a cottage eesoat— best hotels, rarsr residences historic conGRESS ball mat re -open. Cape May's great advantage is Ita location at the confluence of the Delaware and Atlantic ocean, and on the mainland. It became a resort over a hundred years ago because of this fact and U flourished as the premier resort on the Atlantic coast until rallrdad development began. The chief means of transportation was by steamboat In those days, steamers plying from both York, Philadelphia and the South. railroads eliminated all of this, but will oe revived much sooner than Is anticipated. This leads us to the most Important development here of recent the new Cape May harbor. Not only lias tills great basin qj l00 acres with a depth of from 30 to 4L feet been created successfully, but acres of the most valuable land has been made by the product of the dredging!* and this New Cape May has become the centre around which the destiny of the resort pivots. One of the finest hotels In the country is here, the Hotel Cape May, design and costly construction, form a new -and model city. The Corinthian Yacht Club has Its ornate home here flanked by tennis courts and other attractions and with the project of a great golf ground under consideration.' New and handsome cotare constantly being erected, those under construction now being owned by C. Karle Miller, Charles Church, Dr. ' H. W. oummls, Walter Fenderson. Dr. X. Davis. Charles Htchardson, John Hewitt. Norman Grey, A. T. Haynes. J. Grange. Russell Robinson. George W. Boyd and others, mostly Cape Mayans. ri^. harbor makes this section particularly, desirable because of the broad sheet of water easily accessible for fishing and swimming, and also Its gradual development for commercial purposes, makes a real es1 tate venture here safe and sure since continued active growth Is a foregone ( conclusion. This optimistic outlook Is held by everybody Interested here and the re- , sort justifies this feeling as an unsuc- ■ ressful season here during the past , ten years has not been experienced. The older section of the town secures ! each season Its full share of cottagers , of Its convenience and other the famous hotels of former halcyon days are located Including Congress Hall. Columbia, Star Villa. Colonial. Lafayette, all of them known far and I wide for their excellence. There are some prospects that Congress Hall may j be opened this season to resume Its sway of pre-eminence enjoyed previously. and all of the other hotels have been ' modernized and provided with up-to- ( date facilities. Every cottage In the older section Is In the pink of condition and are always kept so. This sort of Improvement Is continuous and renders the city always a "city beautiful." ; Hotel Help Furnished The Harris Employment Bureau, 252 East Oak avenue, Wildwood, makes a specialty In furnishing hotel help — Phone your wants; either phone. t 0 DRESS MAKING • Engagements by the day or week.

REAL ESTATE ' TO BE SOLD RECEIVERS OF N. Z. GRAVES WELL OFFER AT PUBLIC VENDUE VALUABLE LOTS AND FURNISHED k HOUSES-MAY MEAN BOON FOR CAPE MAY. It is known authoritatively, that the ' receivers of the N. Z. Graves Company, ' 1 pursuant to an order of the United * - States District Court for the District of New Jersey, will offer at public sale, on 1 August fourteenth, at Cape May Court ' House, the Graves real estate in Cape • May City. The aucillary receivers 'are ' H. G. Michener, David Baird and William Findlay Brown. This matter of Graves' property haa 1 been an uncertainty for so long, that 1 the news of a sale will doubtless 00 me - with a good deal of relief to people of ■ this community. There are those who 1 would see in this sale and final adjust- - men of these real estate holdings, a , boom in real estate and building for thi* city. The prices of lots in east Cape ■ May have been so high at to be almost 1 prohibitive, but those who clsim to - know, predict a fall in the prices of lots, : and a consequent building boom. People who cannot afford to buy lota notr 1 will be able to purchase them when the 1 prices fall and build thereon cottages as investments. There are nearly five hnn- . dred lots in the offerings to be made . on the day of sale. The first five offerings consist of 76, 41, 56, 179 and > 132 lots respectively in esst Cape May. 1 The sixth offering is s lot of 1000 square feet in front of the Windsor Hotel, , known as the Cochran Bath Lot.. The . seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth consist of improved lots with furnished houses . thereon. EDUCATORS MAKE INSPECTION TRIP From Tuesday's Daily Star and Wave. last Saturday county Superintendent ( A. W. Hand and Prof. Louis C. "Butler, , ) inadi an automobile trip to all^parts of ! Cape May county, visiting Hery- rural s school building, and took pictures of J each. Mr. Butter is a photographer of some experience and ^the pictures are _ rerv good. They show that tile schools ( in the rural sections of this county are in a good condition, at least so far as buildings and their environments are concerned. The proverbial "little red school house" is a thing of the past, and ! belongs to ancient history, so far as this progressive county is concerned. All the buildings are either new and equipt pe^ with modern conveniences, or else .old buildings, remodeled and made sanitary and homelike. School authorities lay county know the trans- ( forming power of-paint, for all the build ings have been lately, treated to a fresh coat of paint. There is nothing so lnj spiring to the mental improvement and t the ambition of young Americans of school age, as good, comfortable, clean, sanitary school environment. 3 IMPORTANT BUSINESS OF CITY COUNCILS Aft the regular meeting of the City Council, on Tuesday night, it was de- . tided to lay a water main for house purposes only, on Osborne street, and to 1 build a public toilet at Schellinger's 5 Landing.

Gilbert, the following resolution was s adopted: 1 Resolved, That the tax eollector be, ' and he ia hereby requested and directed to proceed at once and take whatever steps are necessary to collect . * taxes, and particularly those due on " personal property and that the City Solicitor give him such assistance as he ^ may require. 1 HEAVY RAIN FALL 8 The rainfall on Tuesday night was 1 one of the heaviest recorded here for a 0 long time.
