CAPE MAY. N j., July 81, 1903.
The height of the summer season is but
week off, the crowds are here, and the old
resort is as gay AS ever, with it's population
of patrons of more than 20,O00 people. who
have come from every large city in the
country and IRON nearly every state in the
Union They are a jolly crowd. and mingle
tos ther freely. and the experiences they
have are of such a pleasant nature that
they will be long remembered. All the
hotels are comfortably filed, while few
are expected to repeat the history of last
Saturday evening by having to turn away
guests because of lack of accommodations.
This condition of affairs, however, ought to
be remedied by next season. A boom hav
Ing been in progress here for the past three
years has developed two Syndicates. each
of which will build a $1oO0,O 900 hotel on
Beach avenue, one on one side of Pittsburg
avenue and the other on the other side. a
third hotel will probably be built at the
corner of Beach avenue and Howard street
which Will also be an up-todate hoStelry.

In all the matches played In the past three
years, Cape May has won them all. The
