The erection of the mammoth Stockton House Will
not interfere with the popularity or success OF the
creaslpg demands of the New Workers for more room
by enlarging the old and erecting new ones for
the crowds who viii nock hither from curiosity
and for pleasure. Already number OF smaller
hotels have been erected since last season, such as
Reiges New Cottage on Ocean street; Proskauer's
Mason Dore, on the corner OF Washington and Jack
son streets; new house on the opposite corner;
Faucitt's House, Beach street, and the old ones
enlarged as the Sea Breeze House and Centre
House.
Even these additions have not been sufficient to
meet the growing demand for more accommoda.

Congress Hall will be enlarged at the close Of this
season by the addition Of new wing along Perry
street, which will make 1t one OF the handsomest
houses on the island and formidable rival to the
Stockton House. The location of Congress Hall, on
high bluff, with It's beautiful green lawn will

management Of Mr.. ]. Frank Cake.
The United States Hotel, which was opened on the

THE FUTURE OF CAPE MAY.
The secret OF this awakening from the Zip Van
Winke sleep under which Cape May has labored SO
