CAPE MAY, August 4.--The difficulty
that occurred on Sunday in regard &c
sacred concerts and the Catholics
has been much exaggerated. Father

Catholic heart, and recommended his
members TO come to church and hear
the holy chants in preference to at

staunch friends Of Father Degan, and
attribute to him no improper motives.
