THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.
OF course the visit of the President to Cape
May and the Stockton is old news to You BY this
time, and only needs passing mention. 1t is the
greatest event happening in Cape MAY since
Gen. Grant was a guest at old Congress Hall
many years ago. President Arthur is the first
executive of the nation ever at the Stockton
Previous to ex-President Grants visit Frank
Pierce was at Congress Hall. All Of these dis
tinguished Presidents were guests of Col Frank
Cake.
The great musical festival on Sunday was an
immense success, the 5000 people brought
down on Saturday and Sunday by the West
Jersey railroad being at the Stockton to witness
the scene and hear the music besides the thou
sands already upon the island. The excursions
from Washington, Baltimore. Pittsburg and New
York largely increasing this throng.
The Stockton has now over 900 guests, Con-
gress Hall about 500, and the other hotels in
like proportion.
