After years OF apparent inactivity
and lack OF assertion Capo May has
again laid her Just claim to the soy
ereignty OF coast resorts, and captured
tho throne. Old devotees to the Cape
declare that this season makes fab

tho social throne was removed tc
Cape May. and fashion reigned there
supreme during the summer months
August promises to be gay month
there.
All the principal hotels ara prepar
Ing for great influx. and have i'm
provised various entertainments fot
their guests. The Stockton's famous
hops are one of the features of thu
Cape, and the programme for August
evenlngs, arranged by Congress Hall
Is very elaborate. During the evening
OF August 18th an amateur dramatic
and musical entertainment will be
given, followed by bull.
On August 18th tho Schubert Quar-
tette, OF Boston, will render a wei! so

Cape May Is certainly awakened.
The summer schedule of trains

FIFTH EDITION,


Mr.. Chas. d. Hanford, a capable ar
tist, who will appear here during the
looming dramatic season, the following
lis said OF him In tho Washington Star:
Mr.. Charles b. Hanford mado his
first dramatic venture as member OF
tine Lawrence Barrett Dramatic Club
In q performance OF Julius Crsar.'
which was given at the National Thea
tier in 1881. This organization was
composed OF pupils and graduates OF
the Washington public schools, and In
lcluded In its membership several who
have since adopted tho dramatic pro
lfession. In the first performance Mr.
4 Hanford played Cassius to the Brutus
of Clarence b. Rheeln.
I The whole performance was so much
above the average amateur effort that
II excited n good deal OF interest In
the community, aud the young gem
itlcmen who sustained the leading
characters received warm praise from
sius was particularly commended. and
the prediction was made that II no
should decide to go upon the stage he
would win an enviable reputation. A
subsequent performance by the same
, club OF the Merchant of Venice in
which Mr.. Hanford played Shylock,
, deepened the favorable impression
, that gentleman had made by his first
attempt and won for him even warm.
. or expressions of approval.
So emphatic was the general verdict
, rs to his peculiar fitness for the .pro
| fession that Mr.. Hanford decided to
/ become all actor. and lie first secured
an engagement with Mr.. VIM, Stafford.
He played several seasons with Tom
Keene, gradually receiving better
parts, until he attracted the attention
y OF MIR. Lawrence Barrett, by whom he
i. was engaged aud with whom he was
/ associated for some time. At the
/ dramatic festival in Cincinnati, he
: played the part OF Aegeon In the
!, l''Comedy Of Errors" 30 excellently aa
to attract a great deal Of attention.
land this led to his engagement by
Messrs. Robson Il Crane when they
produced that comedy and made such
, a wonderful success themselves as the
< two Dromlos.
When Mr.. Barrett and Booth became
} associated together Mr.. Hanford was
a member of their supporting com.
! pany and played all OF the juvenile
2 part and some OF the leading charao-
i ters. II was while with them that he

This is great country for crazes.
They sweep over the country like cy-
clones. Whence they come and whittier
they go man knoweth not. A few years
ago the entire country was in the throcs
of the pedestrian craze. In every city,
town and village athletes were YEARLY
tramping around and around "A sawdust
circle, while thousands Of spectators APP
plauded the dreary exhibition. Nobody
walks now that can ride
Next we had the roller skating craze,
which affected both men and women.
1t, too, has gone glimmering, leaving a
trail of broken bones in its wake. The
bicycle craze is now upon us, and bids
fair to become a chronic disease. The
men have had the red neektie craze and
recovered from it in time to laugh ut the
'suspendcr craze of their big sisters.
America soon loves her fads to DEATH
