Again, during the past week, the people of Cape May City have been the spectators of the nefatloua operations of the flsh pirate*. On Wednesday four black bulks lay to the south of our strand. The captain of one of the steamers. With that braggart assurance bqrn of the knowledge that hla dastardly work wonld pot be Interfered with, approached the shore and "lay to" at a distance not exreedUig two hundred yards. The "aweep" of hit pinnies' net brought to the side of the crafi the others in tern. This is only a particularized instance quoted from among a thousand. A decided stand must lie taken concerning these pirates. To say that "aomething must be done" will not rem- i edy matters. If "something must be , done" Cape May people must hrlp do It. It Is simply a local matter as viewed by those outside the state. They ire tight- - log giant monopoly, which, day by day, encroaches on their rights, steals their | substance, deprives them of a means of , livelihood, and will eventually, If not | prevented deplete onr waters of the fish , therein. The only means of redress l« , through legislative measures. Force , cannot be used to advantage. For a , time, it"might act as a preventive, but i ere long the steamers would be prepared i to withstand all attack. Then such a course is unlawful. Dal right is might. , The people of the coast should demand that our legislative representative* should again petition Congreas in the interests of preaerTing a great food sapply. Again, If Senator Ruf us Blodgett, , who Is himself a "shore man," desires to win lasting popularity from Sandy ITonk to Cane Mar Point he will take un to May he t

Work was commenced in earnest on i Monday last on the grounds of the Cape May Driving Park Company. A Urge force of men have been steadlty at work grading snd have moved a considerable quantity of earth during the 'week. A track and cars from the Rio Grande ' Sugar Plantation have been in constant nee and work baa progressed rapidly under the supervision of L. E. Miller, who la thoroughly competent for the task. He can handle men and teams equal to any man In the county. The engineers under the supervision of Ravi Thompson. C. B., of Camden, have also made rapid progress and Messrs. Moser A King, the architects trom Philadelphia. have completed all their plans and specifications of the buildings which will be second to none in this country. The arrang ment of everything is excellent and the boom thus given to Cape May bv the trio of indefatigable workers Jarees V. Utterly. E. V. Macbettc and tlicHon. J. Henry Edmunds. i« certainly of great and lasting benefit to dear old Cape May snd these gentlemen surely deserve the prslse and assistance of all residents and visitor* in this, the most famous red flnest of all sea side resorts. And the work doe* not end with the building of the Dr vl g Park, for these centleioen are going to stay w]th us and have purchased large properties and acQuited franchises and «Ul build onr one hundred cottages and hotels and erect aa electric railway.

i, A Talk Among Ourselves. j j There ie no use denying the fact that 5 the season at Cape Hay In a business f sense has not been a eur cess. The same _ can be said of many Other resorts along the coast. In the last qumber of the m Hotel Regieler, a paper published in the _ interest of the hotel business, there are a number of notices of -assignments of ... hotel men at Saratoga and other points, yet there is no notice of any of the Cape J May houses having encountered such a storms as legd to the unpleasantness of, s an assignment. Our present object is '• not t-i talk of Cape Mty'i past, hut of • a her future, what has been done, whales doing, what more may ho done, and what la the duty of every citizen and J bits been done: The City Council has removed sli chance of dispute as to the liealHifulocs* uf our. water supply by • giving us an abundance of pure a wsler from Cold Spring. This water 1 has been tested by thousands of visitors who all pronounre it the flnest and purest they have ever tasted, the supply is a unlimited, while Ihe wells are so far removed from ihe City that all chance of ; becoming Impregnated with any organic i matter is far removed. ; The Athletic Club has been organized , f by gentlemen who hate a juat pride in i this queen of all resorts, which in illus- i , tinted in the tact of their having made , this their summer borne for year*. The , ; Club Is not a Action but a fact aa is evidenced by a short walk to the eastern i limits of the built up portion of our city, where the hard graveled base ball dia- I - mood, the running track and bycicle s track, the grand stand, the handsome j I enclosure all attest the sincerity of the • movement inaugurated by our visitors , r in the parlor of Congreas 11*11 last July. ; Second. — What it doing— The surveyors i : with their stakes, compass and chains | r are already at work on the grounds of - the Cape May City Driving Park Asso- i elation laying out the Race Course for ■ I next season's plesun-s— this Is another 1 fact— and will be followed up by diggers | t and carters filling In the low places, low- i i ering the hilly spots and making level - the entire area of eighty acres for the t : best running and trotting park in the < United States. When completed we - shall have a park on rack side of the t i island that wiil add to the attractions of ' • Cape May and supply a lung- felt need i of enjoyment. Between these two c . Parks stands our beautiful boardwalk, t with hut one thing lacking to make it • perfect— covered resting spots. Tliey | need not be ex|>ensive, they need not be | small and many Is wha is wanted ' and tbey should torm a feature of our i < beach front before another season dawns i 1 on Cape May. It is the duty of every ( ' ritlxen and tax payer to lend whatever ' encouragement It in bis power to the , > accomplishment of those things that are , 1 progress and those things that are , I suggested for Cape May. To the citl- > zen we would say, lay aside any preju- | dice you may hate towards any man , I who has taken an Interest In any of , 1 these things, no Jitter who suggests ' them or who o'ganlzes them. Torques- , ■ lion is whd will they do to build up , ■ Cape May? II tbey bring u- one thou- , 1 sand or one hundred thousand more people, the money spent by them is distribu- ,

ted amoug all the community and all |, are benefited. It Is like the shower* of ( heaven thai blest the unju t as well as the Just. It Is the duty of every man, g woman and child, who draw their living [ from Cape May to lend a band in any- , thing that will make our City more attractive to the visitors. ^ The sad death of Mrs. Korah Peder- ' ton. of New York, on Monilay last has cast a dark shadow of mourning over ' ber temporary home, the Brunswick, and filled the hearts of her relations with ' i sorrow that onr to young sod giving ' f promise of long life should suddenly be 1 1 cut off from a home of which she was ' : the light and the life. Her husband and i four year old child hare the profound \ ■ sympathy of the en ire community. Mrs. ' ' Peder* n was by birth of Cape May, ' I having b.en born twenty-three, jqjtra 1 ' ago at 8 uth Seaville, where her parents. • Mr. and Mr*. J. Yoaa, than lived. 1 ' Since then her father died, her mother ' > afterward* marrying Mr. Charles H. i Corson, of New York, where the family 1 ' has of late resided. The funeral took » place on Thursday, the body being r taken to 8eaviUe for interment. Rev. - John K. Manning, who only a few short ' years ago married the lamented Mrs. 1 Pederson, officiated at the funeral. Weteote that. Mrs. Pederson has spent j the Bummer at the Brunswick, iu mani ager. Mra. Brooks, being a relative of ' the family. She has endeared herself to a j wide ciiele of friends by the gentleness r of her msnners and goodness of her i heart. We sympathize with tho-e who 1 have *o suddenly and for time been dej prised of her company, and trust they 0 may feel in this affliction that it la well 1 with one so truly and tenderly loved. r The earthly remains of twelve-year- ' old Emma Cummings, were committed B to their last resting place yesterday, I with impressive services by HetCJ. L. s londis. Emma died on Wednesday afe lornoon after a short Illness at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mr*. Wm. I>. t Cummings, of Fishing Creek. She s was a bright and lovely child, the de- \ light af bar parent's lives, and the a light of the household.
