The beach at Cape May. yesterday. at the
bathing hour was the scene of most disgrace

| greatly augmented by a large number of excur-
sionists, two parties being there-one from this
city and the other from Philadelphia. Notwith-
standing the assertions OF one or two Philadel-

lats from Wilmington were well-behaved and
gentlemanly set of people. perfectly sober. and
became mixed up i'll the riot bY mistake. They
were not in any manner participants in the af-
fray, and after hearing those arrested, if more
than one were released.
The mob grew out of the persistent demands of
Philadelphia rough that Mrs. William Penn Young
boarder at the Ocean House. should accompa-
ny him into the surf leaving the gentleman who
accompanied her for the purpose. Mrs. Young,
OF course, declined, the more positively as the
man was a stranger. and her companion inter-
fered to rid her of his insulting demeanor The
PhilAdelphian than began to pour volley after
volley OF oaths upon the gentleman, striking
him with his fist at the same time. A fight then
ensued, and the widest confusion prevailed.

bance but were set upon by the aggressor's

set to work to ferret out the roughs, who had
disappeared among the bath-houses. Two we're
arrested and taken before Mayor Miller. who at
once locked them up, and proceeded to detail

number of the 9th Marylanders, to arrest, il
possible, the entire gang. Ex-detectve Duke,

during the afternoon, and, after a hearing be-

Correspondence Of the Commercial
Yesterday, Thursday the 31st, was a most 10
vial day among the Newporters.
Early in the morning quite a number of peo-
pie, mostly residents in and around the village
assembled on the banks OF the White Clay Creek
which borders the farm Of Mr.. Thomas p. Ly-
nam, and there had a general gala day in va
rious ways.
Fishing was the ostensible object OF the Az
sembllng; but it was done in such a Wholesale
manner that those who anticipated an exercise
OF patience in the sun BY waiting for ''bite," i"
were most agreeably disappointed
Two nets were placed in the creek at a con-
siderable distance from each other. and then
party OF young "bloods" waded down the
stream between these stationary nets with a
drag. A full cart load OF fish was hauled out.
Tho fish were cleaned. or better, skinned
Logs were rolled together, a fire made. and
the fish cooked, the fair ones givin. the direc-
tions, while the before mentioned "bloods held
one OF the old long handled frying pans and such
as used to greet our eyes
When you and were yonug
Some OF them preferred to play croquet, rath-
or than hold long handled frying pans. When
the sun came down too direct, the fair ones
sought refuge in carriages, and those who even
less fair stood near BY casting glances or
Sleeps eyes, and as Bret Harte says
Smiled slckly smile t"
until the proper hint was given to come nearer,
when according to the above mentioned fact they
would be sure to give

That was childke and bland ~
There were, perhaps, two hundred people,
there, and general hilarity prevailed
There were three boats, and good use was

various ways.
