The here is rapidly approaching Its height.
and the climax will be reached much earlier than
usual. This is perhaps owing in great measure to
the oppressive heat that has prevailed in the SOUTH
well as fear of the terrible epidemic which has
developed itself ut Memphis.
A distinguished physician informed me that the
malay would no. spread If brought here. and
there would be little danger to patient. owing to

The time was when the Cireenbrier White was
patronzcd almost exclusively by southerners. and
there was better place on earth to witness in all

ROAD FACILITIES.
CAPE MAY. n. j., August 10, 1879.
Cape May has neither the crowds of Manhattan
Beach nor the gayety and flash OF Long Branch but
it boasts with good reason, the finest beach and the
best surf bathing in this country. And although
seaside life here is queteras BELTS the tavorte
sort of the solid citizens of the Quaker Cty-yet IL
is by no means dull and there is no brighter picture
OF the beauty and fashion than the a,semblage in
the grand corridor of the Stockton House every
evening while Simon Hassler's concert lasts.
THE SEASONS HEIGHT

house full and the Columbia, the rebuilding Of
which, since the fire, has been delayed, expects to
hive trouble in hlling what rooms are not now
engaged. At the smaller houses The landlords in
good humor and the boarding house ladies at the
cottages where guests get ordinary comforts
have reason to complain.
The prosperity OF Cape May this season is very
largely due to the enterprise OF railroad CON-
pauy improving the transportation facilities The

May which never before came here. Many men
leave their families here and and come from bust
