Nahant, Newport, Cope May and Old Point Com- a fort, and Cape May was the great surf, bathiag resort, and tbc centre of Oape c May. was the Coognas Hal! lawn.

Cape I*'" "V but all these fatuous bbstrl- , " rics have bora esrept away by fire, to be j ( succeeded by better buildtogL It lias not \ t been Ions since the ancient landlord of ■ the old-time Mansion House died, at ihe ' ripe age of eighty-nine, and was fot .oe l i by tbc lownfoik lo bis last reMibg-placc ■ at Cold Spring Church, I'ocle Smiih j [ Ludlam wan, in bin day, one of the tared- ' : somest men that eye ever looked upon, 1 1 and, having been born at Cape Slay, h- 1 1 had become ita patriarch. The aid folk 1 1 wclllremember him when, in bis prime, be j t " hiid down The rules of Cape May eituneile ] on tbc Slansion House porch, and almost ! - crery summer had Henry Clay for bis j , S guest, nearly a half century ago. I During bow long this grand beach has , been used for sea-bathing no one knows. , )But the first man who took a dip In the j suit there was probably that renowwd old , akippcr of the Dulcb liast India Com- , panv. Captain Carol is Jacopenscn Mcy, i who catnc along wilh bis fleet .>f fifty ton frigates, in 1014, and gave bis first " name to the sou Lb re u and bis last name to | , " the northern cape, at the Delaware river j ; entrance- Capo, Mcy, uigblly modified, tr- j { mains, hut Cape Corolla has been gradual'}' i changed to Htndkwp, Hindloopen, and , now Cope Henlopcn. Tbc settlement of , tbe cape was made as early if not earlier , titan Philadelphia. Its alluvial ami was a , great attraction, and it soon grew into a compact city of hotels and boarding- . bouses along tbe edge of the beach with " fine shade trees and good vrgetaliog, and c-itn pari 1 1 velynarroa but well-kept streets. In later days advancing luxury addrd , rr rows of cettsgea, until now t'>c cily has grown far north along Povetty Beach t . and an occasional fire re the heart of tbc : ~ town has swopt away the older buildings . and given opportunity for the construction of the modern ones. The last fire was an — that it ncarlr de«"os"-t i h* . town, and there are aevcrsi lots not yet built upou. while lor greater safety, many of (he new structures are of brick How ibe palriarcbea of. Cape May. who. yrare g agu. had almost tbc only surf-bathing place on tbe Jersey coast, would otitn their eyes now, if tbey conlil come back and see that entire cimsl, almost from Sandy Hook to Cape May, lined with watering-placea, where a hundred thousand vatiegaled costume* take a dip in old orrau on a hot aummer's day ! The glory of Cape May is iis eea-bcncli. Hard, "• smooth, of gradual desocnt, with no bar or obstruction outride to break the force of the waves as they roll In from the broad * ■ Atlantic, H stands unrivaled- It does not . attract the crowds like Atlantic Cily, or Coney Island, or tbe new settlements around Dong Branch, for the axcutsionarounu XS'DK 1 .... .....

ists have not sought it in such droves, but it is not unusual to tee five thousand batliera disporting in the surf on a fine , aummer's morning. Tbc lifeboats float on the waters outride, and the crowds gather bo the board walk, or ride merrily ; along the drive lust inside, while in the afternoons the hands play at thetag hotels , 1 "Tbwoeries of lsgoonlTuid sal: marshes and meadows that fringe the Jersey coast cooie to an end at tbc Inlet Just above Cape May City, ao that the lower part of the Cape is a compact mast, enabling tbe town to be built almost down to the water's edge. Yachts Tie In the Inlet lo iatr— visitors sailing on tbe sound, and there are some people at tbe Gape who have a recollection of good flkhing and gunning. These flourished, however, in days gone bv, much more than at prevcnL 1 Now the time is chiefly passed in .bathing, and lounging abont the hotels, and going to the station to sec the train come in. Oner In a while the monotony is varied by tbe arrival of a bogus "Lord" from abroad who forgets to pay his bills, or by catching t shark and tying him lo one of the little piers that old ocean airoosl knocked to pieces last winter ; but usually the effect of a prolonged visit to the Cape is Ibe development of chronic lax too* and a ravenous appetite. To tbe surfbathing there have been added at Cspe • Ha}' all the luxuries of hot snd cold reswater baths without exposure In the ooean. It ia along the Cape May beach In tbe height of the season that Hie pretty r girls of ndladelpbia and Baltimore love to wander, and here, as day gives place to night, and tbc silver sheen of tbe moon dances on tbe water, there ia as much "spoooing" s» ever watering-place' urn i develop.
