CAPE MAY, N. j., August Z, 1903.
The height of the summer season has
been reached at the shore, and this old
resort. with its history of more than 100
years as popular watering place for both
seekers after health and pleasure. has been
so densely crowded that many of the
hotels have been for more than ten days
compelled to turn away ..lose who hoped
to be their patrons for various periods
throughout the balance of the season.
Many of them were required to find accom-
modations for their guests whom they de-
sired to entertain at other times in nearby
cottages.
1t has been a great week for the golfers,
in which honors have been pretty well d.
vided between Cape May and others. On
Tuesday afternoon the Women's Associa-
ton of the Cape May Golf Club and the
Brandywine Country Club met in a team
match and Cape May won by a very large
margin. On Wednesday, however, the
tables were turned, when a team of the
club met at Mortified. the Atlantic City
golf links, and were downed by a very
large score Of 46 by the team selected by
Cape Mays most prominent seaside rival
1t Is the first time lnat Atlantic City has
won since the summer of 1900. The return
match will be played on the Cape May
