The tent colony is still the center of a great deal of life, ! where many meet to talk and watch the ever -changing panorama around j them. The crowds along the water front were treated to a re*J bit of excitement, 1 yesterday forenoon between eleven and j twelve o'clock, when two men had a alight altercation, in which they mixed up things considerably for a while, both i coming off a little the worse for wear and tear. It seems that an employee -of the trolley company was interfered with by a bystander, who offered some suggestions, which the trolley man re- ; tented. Diplomatic relations were at j once suspended and, without the formality of an interchange of ambassadorial passports and without waiting for war appropriations; hostilities were at once declared, and entered into with promptness and dispatch. Neutrals finally interposed their good office, and the belligerents were induced to suspend hostilities. We have not heard whether or not formal terms of peace have been ! signed— W. B. Henry, a Philadelpliian, who 'is staying at the Columbia, was seen on the strand. The Misses Satterfleld. of the Chalfonte. were again wen in the surf.

NEWS OF THE 1 GOLF LINKS ITEMS OF INTEREST ABOUT THE . j MEMBERS AND VISITORS— THE * - TENNIS COURTS AND THE SOCIAL LliE. » From Friday's Daily Star and Wave. ' f ! This golf game is full of surprises, 1 and the men who play it seem- to think - consistency is a cardinal sin. For in- j P stance, Howard J2. Pepper practiced a lot , 8 yesterday morning, found himself a , f partner, and carelessly started off for an ( ordinary round of golf. 'An utterly un- j > expected three on the second roused his , " dormant energies and he went at It in , - earnest, until a five on the fifth showed , ' him the folly of trying te be consistent. , 1 He made a few more holes in par figures . • until a |<ossihle 36 loomed in sight. Then ( ' lie blew up again. ' Now that the course is not so crowded, , 5 Judge Lamorelle is enjoying a daily , ' round. , Once in a while R. M. Wagar steals ( • away from the cares incidental to run- , ' ning a yacht club for a round of golf. , " Mrs. Wagar enjoys the game, too. and , B has played more this season tlian" for , p several years. , | Bii-'n-ws rites have interfered seri- , • i.iisly with J. F. Black's golf engage- . Ijmenls. but knowing that Judge Doty's , ' ,-iay will !>• short, he stayed down ves- , 1 tcrdav for oue more bi l-.le. , " Dr. G. II. shearer is" .-.pending a part , ' of his vacation on the golf links. , Dr. F. A. Craig. E. W. Belfour and , 1 Miss F. Frishmuth played a threesome ( ' in the morning. | ' Mr. and Mrs. Stavelv have taken out , " visitors' cards and play daily. | s In the absence of Thomas Hart. W. B. , r | Hart is upholding the family prestige 8 at the club. He makes a fine understudy ; 1 . on the links, but doesn't seem to quite j measure up in the musical line.. Charles Justi was" out with Mr. Con- , i well in the morning and. judging by the t I comments, fought well for the honor of , | the preps. ' , s I Crosby Bovd is another of Ihose prom- j . j ising preps. He is not saying much, but ] 1 arrives every day shortly after day- , ] break, plays a few holes, talks a while ^ -I with Dougherty, plays some more, putts | - bit. tests a few mashie shots goes out | r. kr a match with sonic of the other , y preps, drives some balls, and generally , - golfs until lunch. el A. K. McCullough tore himself away . s from the ball game for a match with . | Mrs. H. FI. Langdon and Mr. F'oulkerod. , I Samuel Bispham and Alexander Scott o J played their match during the afternoon, ( n but it did not seem natural without f W. M. Allen.

E. H. Burton was out early yesterday and spent the morning in practice. G. H. Parr reports that things are much improved this year. The absence the usual crowds gives a real player room to display his skill The only drawback is that the lack of a sufficient number of victims makes it necessary to take on the hard ones and the handicapping of these matches is a serious mental strain. It was really pathetic hear him trying to get one of his selected victims to understand the difI between the offered eight strokts and tiie counter proposition of eight up. | Parr had just made a 75 and the victim coudn't make the figures agree.

THE COTTAGE I COSTUME BALL SOCIETY TURNS OUT EN MASSE. I BRILLIANT AND UNIQUE COSTUMES. GRILL ROOM AND TEA GARDEN OF HOTEL CAPE MAY SCENE OF SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION rom Thursday's .Daily Star and Wave As was predicted, the cottage costume ^ ball at the Hotel Cape May, last night, was the event of events, in the social calendar of this season. The Hotei . Cape May, which is always a delightful ^ place to spend an evening, and which has ^ so frequently been thh scene of. social ^ functions of prime importance, this ^ -■ason. was in gala attire last night, and ( the maiiy ladies and gentlemen in at-' 1 tendance were attired in gaTbs that ^ description. In a description of this ball; the dec- ^ orations must not be forgotten, for without them the success of the event would have to be discounted by a large percentage. The green lattice work of n the tea garden and the subdued color effect of the grill room lend themselves ^ rv nicely to the ideal of the decorsitor, whose aim was to give the whole scene a cottage effect. The chief feature of the decoration was old fashioned sunflowers ^ and morning glories. These were very artistieally arranged and blended l>eautit'ully with the color of the room, and fitted in nicely with the gay costumes of the dancers? Tlio music, of course, ° furnished by the Tlotel Cape May • orchestra, and Prof. Pfaff and his corps of musical adepts were fully <-qual to . the occasion, and discoursed the latest ^ ■lancing music to the delight and satisfaction of all present. Moral decorations were arranged by William Ran. ^ Many of the costumes wgre very stVik- ^ ing and stunning. An expert costumer fr-in Philadelphia caiue down yesterday, nod the creations he turned out were net' -lily unique iu design, hut appropriate to the occasion, and they were well worth seeing. To say that this bait was ^ grand success is putting it very mildly, indeed. The management of tiie hotel 1 left no stone unturned in their endeavor to make this a success and to ^ pleas.- their patrons. The results were ^ 1 all anticipations, and those who ' planned and superintended the affair arc . to la* congratulated upon their achieve- ^ meat. So well pleased were those who participatedsin this festive occasion that ^ many expressed the desire that such ^ 1 functions, or something similar to it, ■ might be held more frequently. ^

I Mr. Eldredge was accompanied by his cousin, Mr. Pecker, and both men were ! fishing from the pound structure. Suddenly Eldredge pitched forward from his seat on the pound and fell into the • water, sinking without a struggle or • sound. Packer immediately went to hie assistance, expecting to grasp him when ' he arose, but he never came to the ■ surface.

We have had at Cape Flay and among Cape Flay people, during the past year or two, many sad occurrences, but none • more so than the unexpected and tragic ; death of G. Bolton Eldredge. Almost everybody was shocked and grieved at the news, for there were few, young or old. who did not know and esteem Bolton, as he was usually called. He was coriliul and sympathetic in ail of s his relations and rarely seen when not [pleasantly smiling. He was public - ■ spirited and interested in all things inaugurated for the benefit of the com1 munity.
