which Cape May has not had since the days the
Civil War. Before that time, when Cape May had
only Long Branch and Newport as rivals. 1t was
the principal place for the people. and nearly all
the leading lights of the South came here at that
period of the year.
Among the cottage colony this year are several
New-York families, and it is expected that among
the hotel guests there will be large number from
Gotham. also 1t is understood that the Pennsyl-
