CAPE MAY.
A New Railroad TO Americas Oldest
Watering Place.

A New Railroad TO Americas Oldest
Watering Place.
Historically, and In point Of natural
advantages and attractiveness, Cape May
Is the most important seaside resort In
the United States It's career as a sani-
tsrium and pleasuring place dates back
TO the closing years Of the last century
and, until a comparatively recent period,
II was virtually without a rivAl-even
Long Branch. In its pRlmiest days, con-
ceding its superior prestige For many
decades prior TO the civil war Il was
regarded as the summer capital Of the
nation. and upon its broad beach were
gathered each summer the great political
aud social notabilities Of the country, the
intellect and the beauty Of the North aud
the South. In the more immedi-
ate past Il has been compare
lively unheard Of, a fact due par
TALLY TO the inherent conservatism
which has always distinguished It, but
more largely to the distraction Of popular
attention TO newer aud more vociferously
Doomed" resorts along the coast
Now, however. 1t Is believed that Cape
May Is about to resume its ancient
prestige aud reassert its proud eminence
among seaside watering places This
reviviheation Of the grand old resort is
anticipated as a direct result Of the in-
creased and improved railway facilities
which will be supplied BY the New
South Jersey railroad, just being com
pleted, and We may expect 70 hear a
great deal OF Cape May during the
