One hapresented Bi Bio notice of the public a , serins, of attraction* in the Way of • oper " alic performances. riritinjt military. ttu- . two trthera— Long JJ'inch and Saratoga will hare their Annual trqtttogjmil rimning race# wjiioli, will, ha «v a (cadency 'to ilra* thousand* of cisitdr* from all parti of tile country, Cp totlit- present time Cape May. the queen of ad water, lug places has presented nothing foPtho- • entertainment of her guests except the i fact, known all over tint world, Unit she possesses the grandest, safest, cleanest beach of any resort in itir world. The sea bathing Is acknowledged as the most healthful direraion that Jiig human race cpa enjoy, and persona viwtiqg- ben seeking cither LVi'tli or pleasure urtsore to embtarrr it." But humanity released from the mm and anxieties of the bum drum of busy t very day labor seeks to fill in all its time or nearly so with the itrnw of what site las been called en to endure the other parts of the year, and when she reaches out to the seashore or thp inoiinlslns. It Is for . immithlhg'SsS'toan mountain zephyr* .or salt water bathing. It is a fact beyond intelligent dispute that Cape May has not enjoyed for the past three years the same large and profitable fade' that ' was her glory and her pride for a quarter of a century previous. Some claim that Ibis is a natural effort made so by 1 the opening up of many new resorts along the eoast. , We claim that this i. a false view from these fact*— first, lib prime reason of p-rams visiting the seashore is the enjoyment of sea bhtliiug: 1 secondly. fCTrther pleasures incident to the passing-aWy of/lii lrlclsurp. Now. as Cape May IsacErrowMjiod l< possesthe finest anil safest beach, it is natural ' to suppose tlist all other things being equal, her shores would he lined with 1 the largest numbers who vUitcd the scathe largest number* who vioied the sea

' side. This latter hot being the case. »v. must infer that oiher rcadfb preaent attractions to o'ver-balante their deficiency fa safe bathing on an attractive coast. Borne may argue Uiatjve arc wrong in these premises, that the key note to tin prosperity of the. other places Is the fa cllltiea granted by the railroad corporaliona and cite in proof our neighbor city by the sea— Atlantic. We must tell them Uielr vision is slightly obscured. The- train service to Capo May Is equal to all Its requirements, the fares tre as low per mile as they are to Atlantic ami lower than wlmt they are to any of the resorta from Philadelphia north nt Atlantic City, and the running time of trains per mile is the same between both of these points. The railroadalone did not make Atlantic City, Unpeople of Atlantic led tho railroads. lis a foolish merchant who does not put sufficient force in hj» establishment to wait on his customers. When the managers of the West Jersey & Atlantic Railroad saw that the people of that city had pushed out for ami obtained s trade thet over-taxed the capabilities of the Camden' & Atlantic Railroad, they built the branch fi ons New-field and developed In n year's time one of the mott profitable lines owned by the Pcnnsj !- vanla system. When Capo .May business and lintel men, and the farmers i f the lower township, put their shoulders lo the wheel • and. show the .world their faith In their own resort and their determination to bring tt-to the front place tliey once occupied, the Reading Jk Southern New Jersey Syrian, now bnt little over I wen' v miles distant, will push the Iron rail fo our doors. They don't ask ynu to help build tho road either. They only aay to you build up a trade that will insure us' a business sufficient to pay us six per cent, nit on our capital and you shall hare the road. Now how arc we to do IIP We have said that comparisons with other retorts show that we are lacking those thing- the public crave In the enjoyment of their holiday. Let u«, late as It ta, be up and doing. The mu- 1 Meal festival of 1883 brought more than one hundred thousand dollars to Cape May. not counting tho receipts of the railroad, which were greater than tbey ever were before or since. Will yon surpass the season of 1833 by an improvement on the entertainment of that . yearf What of the great regatta of 18(39 The celebrated Cape May cup, once owned by tho New York Yacht Ulub, tlie greatest piece of mechanical skill ever made as a trophy for a race, is now in the possession of foreigners. Shsll America redeem It f What more filling spot than the waters of the Atlantic where she washes the "shores of Cape May, the spot that gave birth to the I great trophy. Let us stop growling, and go to work. Wo have the" time, and a contribution from every hotel, villa, bctrdlng house, cottager, storekeeper, property owner, and farmer would swell a sum to such dimensions that Cape May could present a round of piaaaures to her guests that would make the season of 1887 ever memorable, Don't let m kef p on sucking the thumb and boiling anathemas nt the fcOnad company as we know, many have .done. • but let us show the railroad company that the people of Cape May are alive to the wants of the pleasurnlsrcker. and ..
