Dxam Wavb :— I generally make en early call at lb* Island to aee how mnt- . in the Improvement line are progreesing, and at the same time enjoy a 1 day or two at the shore before ibe 1 crowds get along. In Cape May's ma- , terial prosperity I'm interested, as yon . It Jan moat unpleasantly on my nerves, J which a ro very sensitive to any false ■ step made in the direction of her public welfare.

I had cxpectod to see a handsome mod- 0 , building, a credit lo the spirit of the a policy of expenditure for which Cape y May is noted, but that affair on the cor- d , ner was a painful surprite and left me In the same perplexity as others who see |, it for the first time. Certainly the 0 . budding is not pretty, and if, ss you say with much point and force, it was j , not presaingly needed, why was it built, T . anyhow ?
