that the season will extend well into Sep

tells have announced that they will remain
open late, and even the largest hotel here,
which usually closes the first Tuesday in
September, has publicly announced that
they will not close until the 18th.

due to the interest being taken in golfing
by a very large number of admirers of that
game who are here. There has been an

Club gave tea and reception to the play
ers and others who came along with those
who came from Cape Mays rival seaside
