CAPE MAY, N. j., August 49, 1896
Tie heavy rush to Cape May holds on
remarkably we'll, and there have been
fewer departures than were expected. 1t
Is usual after the greatest week Of the
season, as last week was that the pcopLe
move away rather fast, but this year they
will not start for a week at least yet The
season, which has been as gay as 1t has
been remarkable, will be a late one, as the
hotels have about all announced that they
will remain open until September. They
opened little earlier than usual, have had
a better season. and now are going to
make prosperity sure by long one.
The cottage contingent. which is larger
than usual, is responsible for the hotels
staying open. They have arranged for
many social events. and that has given the
impetus to many persons to engage quar-
tiers for September at the hotels

Congress Hall last night, was the greatest
novelty OF the season. 1t was not only
largely attended by the children, but also
