CAPE MAY. n. j., July 3. 1902.
II has been a splendid week at Cape May,
the warm weather which began to prevail
throughout the country, making it plausi-
BILE for large numbers of visitors to come
here, including many from Baltimore,
Washington and points south and west.
Socially the week has been brilliant one.
The hops about the hotels have been in
aUgurated. and have been well attended
throughout the week, and those who love
dancing have been able to have their
tastes gratified. 1t is noticeable here that
those who dance dance more at the begin
ming of the season than at the end because
OF the novelty finally wearing OFF. and other
amusements being invented by the visitors,
so that their time is taken up to their
satisfaction while here.
