Another Day.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
CAPE MAY, N. j., July 8. 1904.
The celebration of Independence day was
somewhat curtailed, especially as to the
display Of fireworks from the beach strand
in the evening. There was high wind
blowing from the south and after the set
pieces had been displayed and few rockets
fired the mayor decided that it was not
wise to continue the celebration. The
sparks from the fireworks were blown far
into the center of the resort and there
was great fear of confiagration. The re-
nainder of the fireworks were set off on
Wednesday evening and witnessed by a
crowd almost as great as that which was
on the boardwalk on Monday evening.
This has been a good week for golfers.
