CAPE MAY. n. J., June 2s 1901.
| For the last week in June Cape May has
been unusually bright. In fact. all the
| month of June has been a big one here,
| because of the more than expected crowds
which have come. Last Sunday was the
| biggest June Sunday that Cape May has
witnessed in recent years. 1t had more of
appearance of middle July Sunday of
previous years. The increase of visitors
has come principally from Maryland and
Delaware. who are now taking advantage
of the new route across Delaware bay.
Added to these the fast express trains be-
tween here and Philadelphia have brought
down more than the usual June quota. AS
consequence Cape May has been lively
during the week.
The signal for the actual lively opening
for the season was given this afternoon.
when the 900 or more visiting Journalists.
mostly from Washington, who are guests of
the Pennsylvania railroad, arrived and went
to the Stockton Hotel This party is usual
! ly made of Washington. Philadelphia and
Baltimore newspaper men, with their wives
and lady friends Philadelphia however,
seems to have sent but few this time, be-
cause of the Pen and Pencil Club of Phila-
delphia having gone today to Buffalo to
attend the Philadelphia day exercises at
the pan-American exposition. These jour-
nalists will remain here until Monday.
when they will leave by special train at 10
o'clock.
Tomorrow the free band concerts on the
beach front begin to be given three times
a day in the pavilions until the close or
the season. The Fourth of July program IS
about completed, and there will be the
usual patriotic exercises on that day, end
ing with a grand display of fireworks on
the beach front in the evening.
