The Wiv.'i Now Ventura. It is • conceded fact tint (be flays of weekly newapspers arc numbered, • Referring to the matter locally, they did well enough when it took a whole day and a part of the night to atage it to Philadelphia, and a proportionate time to intermediate localities. The arrival of dally mail in tboac timoa might be looked for at anytime between aootel and aunriae of the following day. Then there were no telegraph Una, telephones, nor swift ocean steamships on the Atlantic ferry. The demands for daily issues of the press did not teem so imperative red hot, or It loses its piquancy. ' And an out of the appetite for prompt Intelligence of public events grew the means for Its rapid transmission and publication. Where the end will be is not easy to tell. Every year develops some new feature in nuking news quickly available. Some of the moet brilliant men of technical training arc experimenting upon applications o! electricity to the Deeds of the hour, with sstonl-bing reeulta. and as everybody regards electrical science yet In lie- infancy, what may the future not devotop f But the weekly press is our theme, end aside from -literary Journals, and supply the present demand, even with country regdeta, "for a kaowlrdge of what the world of effort is doing In these yean of rapid growth, development, and nervy competition. The publisher of the Win, J. Henry Edmunds, is well acquainted with the ocoda of the hour in the realm of active business effort, lie does not conainl to ride behind in the race that la ever being made to a finish, bonce ha determination to double up the publication day of the Wave, looking to an all the year round dally luue at no vary diaunt dale. The expenae of thla enterprise will he considerable, and aa a matter of course lw of large advantage to Oape May. Progressive tradesmen will not he slow la rtoognlglng thla, and heartily encourage such public aplrited eflort Tiny know that In hiding It they are helping tberoselvea. For every cent rxprnded lu thla manner there wDI he a big return to them coming from many a new direction. Wo look upon a dally newspaper as* prime neoeaalty for a live town, and If the public Win but take a lively Interest in the enterpriae Mr. Edmunds will not be long Hi Inaugurating another new departure. He la determined, as far as he la concerned, to compel Cape May to go, henoe his liberal action In making a stepping stone to an- all-the-year round dally by the prompt laaue of the aeml. weekly edition. let the business men of Cape May take courage, and In their respective spheres go and do llke--l~ •

"lhe Wari stands In with improvements right aloog. but Uiey should be made ln'-Hielr order of importance. On the ooeanTbont the Beach drive extension and sun pavilions demand attention- These, visitor* appreciate sod enJoy, and property owner* will ralte no objection* when the bills cotne In to b* paid. Th* public dentahds these to proveeuenu, henoe the sooner they are begun and completed, the belter. But the town hall wQI do for a time longer. It haa served the purpose of legislation foe a good many years, and as strangers nevtr think of visiting it, there Is no Inmediate, or pressing demand for a new one till the city has a surplus, which U not likely to happen very aoon. If Oape May Is to be made atUl more attract! re, the Beach drive ia a means of great 1mportanec to that ood. Our visiting summer population ask for it, had will not be ssUfled unices there be an unbroken shore road all' th* way to Oape May Point. Capitalist* *ce In the completion of such aa enterprise a warrant for the belief that they may go on and make contemplated improvements. Tbe Mt the city will do In this direction to fur, seta, and tore are other important con. elder* liooa that aak for prompt municipal action. When the Baach drive Is completed, then give the town the pavilion, and if toere is anything left tor building, the hall may be constructed Certainly there oan be no objection to let the drive take precedence.

Don tel. the proprietor, has been bard at Work for a, couple of , months getting ready for the event, and ' an examination of the hotel bed chamb- , era, dining room, parlor, capacious lobby, < and snn pavilion show that bla labors , have not been In rain. On Saturday t evening the house was most brilliantly , 1 lighted and plcaaantly healed. The [ sun pavilion, 1000 sq. fact, npena directly ( into tbe ofllce lobby. It has been built at large expenae, and for convenient ( adaptation la all that need be desired. { A large baler will give It the right temperature when the eon declines to show , . his face.
