The stock of the concern has been fixed at $10,000, a sinn needed to make the park a permanent seaaide institution. Work will begin when land It seemed and $3,000 are subscribed , one-half of that sum being pledged already. We wish that ever, business man and resident fn Cape May could bare beard Benator Reyburn's talk at the Lafayette meeting. Here is a gentleman, who so far ae-be be concerned pers-inally, la satisfied with the quiet of the Cape. J(c comes here for this very thing. His family Is delighted with it, but Seoaior llcyburn and other gentlemen present at that meeting like him are wilting to sacrifice personal preferences for the general good, hcnrc. they are in hearty sympathy with the park scheme. The Senator is positively enthusiastic. He says there is a public need of Just such nn infill ution, am) when done will . be of naikjpat importance. The proposed grounds are 'right on the sea Just where they ought to be and oan be gotten ready for the small amount of $1,000, a sum really Insignificant, when the magnitude of the scheme be considered. The Wat* hopes to see the people of the place, residents, take an interest by subscribing for shares of the stock. They may do so by applying to the Secretary, John J. Krorarr. • We remark in connection with the onllook of the improvement that TSPoificers are gentlemen of sterling business and social quality commanding the respect of the public In a manner that augurs success of

Ibc "Cape May Athletic Park." If there la one thing more than another for which ri siting thousands to Cape May should be grateful it is the glorious opportunity afforded for a drive or a stroll along the sea front, to catch the Invigorating freshness of the early evening. There Is generally a cool, bracing sea air there which makes it a favorite lounging place. Aa one saunters along during the progress of the evening his ears are delighted at bearing the music wafted across the lawns. Commencing at Congress Hall ■ you can continue >our walk nnul you reach, and pass by. tbc Stockton before the music dies upon the :trlnds.. . It la like standing in one position and wl incasing a number of bands pas* by In parade fashion. When thenIs music on the pier It is still further enhanced, and one can stand or tit upon the board-walk. If tbe wind Is favorable, and listen with pleasure to tbe charming melody. Music Is what we want- It Is, without doubt, one of our leading attractions, and ahould be still further Increased. Miisie. music everywhere, even the ocean sends forth a harmonious sotmd ; lovers on the sand are said to ooo like a dove, and a company of young gills, or sonic who are not quite SO young, "resemble a whoTo hro-< band In themselves. Listen sometime If you don't believe il The "Owls" sod "Wl.te Awakes" constitute Lafayette street clubs. The owls only admit single folks to their mystic circle, while the "Wide Awakes" lake In married people and widowora, provid ng they are young and handsome. Its the duty of the "W. A.'s" to keep a careful watch upon the shady bowei* of the avenue. for anything that may turn up. Some one of them must be on duty till tbe streeta are vacated for the night. The "Owls" Ldng on guard are doubly armed to prevent any surprise. Its a favorite rtra of tbelrs to pal enemies on a wrong track, and watch their discomfiture. They iV> say the bitter nee* in the hostile camps of these dubs will grow into something noticahle soon. The "Man wlih Whisker." will see that the public, hss the news. 'Rah for the Cape May Athletic Park: It will dote a gap In public amusement which baa been long In bring filled. There are parks for horse nclng, base ball, wheeling, and others of tbe more 'muscular sports, but none for lawn tennis, croquet (coming Into fashion again), and other feminine sports. A park that combines all, th« rugged and tbe gentler, mud succeed. Bend In your name to the secretary for a share or two. FItc persons sending ta s subscription for s share each will do just aa much good as a job lot ol five sharea by one peraon, and man. too, for It wHl make five interested persons Uf one. Don't despise the one-shire subscription. Wr have been shown a novel "knockdown" packing box by" B. J. Behrend, represents ttng patentee. It Is a very a b>« and re-used.
