The gentle xephyrs which have been
waited before the southerly and easteriy
breezes which have blown here through
out the week have cooled of the thousands
of visitors here who have come from the
big cities to escape the sweltering heat
Those who have taken the long hot rides
across the country to reach the seaside
have been amply repaid for their journeys.
1t has been delightfully."- cool here, ana
while the thermometer has ranged about
the nineties in the inland 1t has ranged
about the eighties here during the day, ana
there has always been GOODNESS at night
and on some evenings blankets have been
required to keep the visitors comfor taole
The surf bathing has been excellent, al
though at times the water has been trlne
cool. The oceans edge Is a scene or dense
animation between II and O'Clock, winch

The activity on the golf links during the
present week has been caused by the large
number Of events being given. On Monday
the women's handicap tournament was
played, while on Tuesday and "Wednesday
a round robin tournament was started ana
lasted until yesterday. This AFTERNOON
there will be Scotch foursome and the
regular eighteen hole handicap tournament.
These tournaments are now In their sew
enth week and the points are getting pretty
well distributed among the better players
of the club and as a consequence there IS
an active rivalry among those who desire
to win the seasons cup. which will be
awarded in September to the player having
able that during the first two weeks in
August that matches will be played De,
tween teams from the Cape May Club and
the Atlantic City Club. The first match
links at Pleasantville. which are ten miles
from Atlantic City proper. and that the
second match will be played at Cape May.
Should either of the clubs win both matches
to the winner. but should there be a tie
the third match will be played at Atiantlc
City.
Cape May has in the past three years al
ways won these matches. Last year. how
ever. the third match had to be played be-
fore Cape May carried off the honor. IN
the two preceding years Cape May won the
first two matches and they ended the con-
test.
