TIE BOGUS NoBLEMAN AT CAPE MAY'-Ihe
following. particulars Of the recent social
swindle at Cape May are condensed from
special reports:
San individual representing himself as
Captain F. Massey, of the British navy, has
for the past few days greatly disturbed The
aristocralic visitors at Cape May. He first
enioyed the Inequalities of Congress Hall,
but the suspicious Of the proprietors of that
hotel that he was fraud were soon aroused,
and 80 he left that place in twenty-four hours.
After visiting several of the cottages, he
brought IN at the Stockton House, where be
registered his name as above given. His dress
was shabby, and when the snobs, such as are
found at every watering.pace. discussed TINS
matter, they came to the conclusion that the
Capfaip was an eccentric character. he told
them to call him Massey; although he was a
peer and the only son OF the Duke OF Leeds,
he had no respect for titles. He had seat
in the House of Lords, but only twice had
he occupied il, for the ID Gladstone
Ministry was repulsiye to his family. He
loved the ocean and despsed politics. For
sixteen years he had followed the sea. and
his ship, the Monarch, was now on the dock
A new vessel of nine thousand tons was
being built for him, and he had come oVel
in his own yacht, which bad ebeen pre-
sented. to. him by the officers Of his last
ship. His object in coming to America
was to meet the. ladies'. His cousin bad
married an American lady, and had had such
a happy life that he thought he would come
over and see what the country afforded
With this kind of gabhle the fellow gulled
the people at The Cape until Thursday night
when his money gave out and his paper
collar had become SO disgustingly dirty thai
those who had believed him to be all that be
said he.was changed their opinions. After
that he was closely watched by the detec
tiyes, and, Friday morning. after borrowing

Music AND MUSICIANS ~ NIENSA.-[C. e..
Fulton, in Baltimore .imcricdn.] There Is
no city in Europe in which there are so
many large bands of skilled musicians as
there is in Vienna. They all number be-
tween fifty and sixty performers, and there
are not less than sixty CT as perfect orches-
trail bands as that Of Theodore Thomas. On
Sunday afternoons every garden around tue
city, even those where the working classes,
resort, has one or more Of these bands in
attendance, the price of admission being
from thirty to fifty kreutzers, or from fifteen
to twenty-five cents. They all perform
operatic music, or some OF the lively pro.
ductions of Strauss, and all classes seem to
be equally as critical in their judgment OF the
character of their performance. Yesterday
Sunday evening we visited number of the
gardens, and found whole, families, includ-
ing the children, taking their evening meal
and listening to the music, followed by COB
lets of beer and cigars. There was in most OF
them as many ladies as gentlemen present,
and they all presented scenes of innocent
recreation and enjoyment. at the Voikes
Garden the celebrated band of Strauss, led
by himself, was in attendance, and there was
here assembled as fashionable an audience as
could be found at any OF the great tWo-dollar
concerts in America, the price OF ADMISSION
being only thirty cents. AT the Neue Wet
there were five bands in attendance, and an
audience OF several thousand around each
of them. Music is both good ana cheap,
and! q poor or inefficient band would DC

our suppers at II garden in thensoutnefh
