sort

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
CAPE MAY, n. J., August 10 1902
1t Is usually the case at the seashore
that the departures of Monday Tuesday
and Wednesday are large and the arrivals
of Thursday, Friday and Saturday equal
to them, but this week has been an excep-
ton to the rule, and while last Sunday
noon was supposed to have been the top
notch of the summer season, the depart
ures of the early part of the week did not
equal the arrivals of the same day, and, in
addition to the retaining of the crowds
here as were here on Sunday, the increase
in the latter end OF the week arrivals this
week will give to Cape May tonight and
tomorrow its biggest Saturday night and
Sunday of the present summer. Next week
will be a big one also here as far as the
crowds go, and when the crowds are here
the social life is not wanting.
1t has been an active week socially and
the interest which has been manifested in
the kinds of amusements peculiar to the
seashore has been marvellous There has
been much to keep the visitor busy and en-
tertained. Bathing has been excellent, al
though early in the week the water was
trifie cool. The Moonlight nights have af-
forded ample opportunity for moonlight
sails and drives out into the country. The
