-
The height Of the season at this resort is
about reached. Though late in commenc-
ing, 1t is the best one In the history of the
resort since the year 1883. For the first
time In these thirteen Intervening years
every hotel in Cape May has been crowded.
and applicants for rooms had to take cots
In the parlors and lobbies OF the hotels
The hot weather had much to do with the
heavy rush, but the careful and judicious
advertising lone by the board of trade
through Mr.. Lewis T. Stevens. a local
agent. In the leading newspapers Of the
country. of which The Evening Star was
one, has brought results. The fame and
patronage Of Cape May long ebbing. has
turned upon the hood. The advertising Of
the past two years has started the crowds
Cape Mayward, and that done this year
has greatly aided in the marvellously sue
cessful season which Cape May is enjoying.
Last Saturday and Sunday evenings many
private cottages were used by hotel guests
for sleeping quarters. and 1t looks very
much as IL this coming Saturday and Sun
day evening would see a repetition of those
scenes.
The heat has been here, too. but the sea
breeZes which have blown over the place
all the week have made the heat bearable.
and in many instances 1t was not hardly
