A correspondent Of the Reading PA Times in
comparing Saratoga with Cape May, awards to the
former large preponderance of morality over the
latter He says. and 1t Is fair to presume that he
knows whereof he speaks, that, although Cape
May is made up mostly OF the pious people
of Philadelphia, the juvenile ball which takes
place twice week there is seldom seen at the
Springs; the cape daily prayer meeting never
exceeds fifty who take part In the exercises, but
at Saratoga every morning the attendance is from
four to five hundred; the drunkenness Is not so
great at the Springs as it is at Cape May, and
the ladies at the Springs avoid entirely the sherry
cobbler. which is the shame and disgrace OF Cape
May Our experience warrants us in saying that
there is great room for improvement on the score
OF morality in both places.
