tCoRREsPoNDENCE OF THE DIsPATCHl
CAFE MAY, July ls.-Among the visitors to
the Presidential cottage this week were Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid, and her father, D. o. Mills.
of New York, who arrived Tuesday evening
and returned to New York Wednesday,
They came to the Cape in private car and
stopped at the Stockton. Mrs. Reid only re-
Gently returned from Paris. and the main
object of her visit socially was to bring wei
come news to the Presidential household
concerning Mrs. Russell Harrison and Mrs
J. r. Mckee, who are now travelling in
Europe, and who were recently received in
Paris by Minister and Mrs. Reid, at their
handsome home at which many of the fore
most OF the French nobility were present.
j. G. B. Woolworth, of Saratoga. was here
Wednesday evening making arrangements
with the President to visit Saratoga early in
August. The President did not decide to go
until the very last moment, and would not
have decided to go had it not been for
George w. Boyd, the Assistant General
Passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, the gentleman who accompanied him
on that famous Western journey q month
ago. The time for the visit is between the
18th and 18th of August. 1t is expected that
some OF the members of the Cabinet will
also go with him. After the visit to Sara
toga the party will proceed to Bennington
Vt, and be present at the unveiling OF the
Bennington monument.
II there is one thing Cape May is proud of
more than another it is it's baseball team,
which has been so successful for the last
three seasons and is keeping up its record
this year. They win SO large q percentage
of the games they play that it is very hard
work TO get teams to play them. They are
enthusiastically supported by the inhabi-
ta1ts Of cape May, and especially by the
players this year-Durell, RamsdelI, King;
the University of Pennsylvania furnishes
Wagonhurst, Bowman and Lancing; Cornell
sends Priest and Field and the Lehigh Uni
versity gives Dashiell, its best player.
Denman Thompson, the Well-knoWn actor
and author of the "0ld Homestead" will
spend part of the season here. Walter Len
nox, OF New York, one of the principa ac-
tors in this famous play is here now with
bis wife and daughter, where they will spend
the season. Last year they were at AsDury
Park.
Judge r. S. Davis, of Washington, is one
Of the most noted ana enthusiastic fisher
men at the Cape, and is a regular frequenter
OF the sounds and the Iron Pier. He is
very successful follower of Isaac Walton,
and often creates q stir on the pier by hook
ing large shark. Monday he hooked IA
foot shark, which took four men to play and
worry until it was safely strande on the
beach. If the fish had been hauled immedi-
ately in it would have easily parted the line,
and it was only by the most excellent work
safely landed.
Last night Mrs. Baker, of Columbia ave-
nue., gave Princeton tea to the members of
the Cape May ball team. The dining room
OF the cottage was handsomely decorated
with emblems of the orange and the black
the college colors. At the tea were the
Misses Carrie Holiday, Kittie Wainwright, Of
New York; Florence Kennedy, Carrie Lee.
