AT POINT PLEASANT.
Great Variety of Water Sports for
Guests.

Special Correspondence of the Evening Star.
Point Pleasant is situated at the con-
fluence of the Manasquan river and Atlantic
ocean and occupies the extremity of a
peninsula, which is bounded by the Man
ssquan river on the north, the ocean on
the east and Barnegat bay on the southerly
and southwesterly sides. Point Pleasant,
by reason of it's location, furnishes a far
greater variety of water sports than any
other of the North Jersey resorts. Both
the Manasquan and Barnegat bay are IA
nous fishing grounds. The waters of Man.
asquan are salt, it is but an estuary
of the Atlantic, and grabbing is a fayorite
sport here. Barnegat bay abounds in weak
fish and numerous other finny fellows and
in the Atlantic the bass are now running
in large quantities and many catches of
big fish have been reported.
There are two golf clubs at Point Pleas
ant and the season is about ready to open,
with full schedule for the summer.
The Leighton is an ocean-front hotel and
it is the social center Of Point Pleasant.
Mrs E. F. Morford will run this hotel for
the eleventh season. The Leighton is q
modern house in every respect and invita-
lions to the dances, cotillions and euchreS
are much sought by resort visitors.

middle of a large plot of ground, with
abundant shade surrounding it. In con-
nection with the hotel are fine tennis courts

THE METHODIST CENTER.
A Resort With Numerous Attractive
Features.

Special Correspondence of the Evening Star
OCEAN GROVE, N. j., June II, 1904.
Ocean Grove is known from one end of
the country to the other, primarily as the
summer center of the Methodist Church.
It's greatest success as summer resort
dates from 1893. In that year the great
Auditorium was started and the season of
1894 found Ocean Grove with the second
largest religious meeting place in the
United States, complete and ready for oc-
cupancy. The Auditorium has seating
capacity of nearly 1000.
Confidently with the erection of the Au-
ditorium the far-seeing Ocean Grove. Camp
Meeting Association discovered that in their
magnificent building they possessed an op-
portunity for making Ocean Grove a must
cal as well as religious center, and fol-
lowing on these lines a summer series of
oratorios, cantataS and concerts was in
augurated. This summer the program pre-
scented by the musical director is one of
greatest interest. The season will COM
mence with the popular concert next Sat
urday to be followed on Independence day
with patriotic celebration in the morning
and concert, distinctly national in tone,
for the evening
The religious exercises of Ocean Grove
will commence Saturday. June 25, with a
conservation meeting. which is to take
place at 2:3O pm, and the first Sunday
services in the Auditorium will be held a
week from Sunday. The more important
religious meetings and conventions of the
summer will be the women's suffrage con-
vention, July 10.
The fine Arlington Hotel is now open and
already entertaining a considerable num-
Der of patrons. This house. which is the
largest in Ocean Grove, was run for many
seasons by Mr.. c. H. Millar. Mr.. Millar died
last summer and his widow, Mrs. M. A.
Millar. will conduct the house this year.

Waves of Pessimism.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Pessimism always exists, but 1t comes in
waves, and wave of this kind is just now
sweeping over the world. Any one who will
take the trouble to look over the magazine
and newspaper files will find a half a dozen
times in the last twenty years when we
were treated to the same pessimism and to
much the same stories of national moral
and political decay we are today. If all
of these were true we would be sunk so low
today that 1t would be impossible to go any
lower. If. however. We compare long
rarges CT time We see unquestioned prog
ress in every line, moral and political. as
well as industrial and financial. We hear
complaints of bad municipal government,
of graft in st. Louis. crookedness in Min
net polls and rottenness in Philadelphia.
but, as a matter of fact, the conditions for
the country as a whole are greatly i'm

Snecfal CORRESPONDENCE of The Evening Star.
CAPE MAY, N. J., June II, 1904.
The bright June days with their balmy
conditions have been boom to Cape May
and brought to the shore hundreds of WISH
tors who are to remain here for seasons
of various lengths stretching from week
to the whole summer. The social life is
gradually becoming intensified and there
is a spirit pervading the resort into which
every visitor enters almost soon he
or she arrives.
The Cape May Golf Club is in full OPP
Grafton for the summer and a very large
number of players are seen on the links
daily The course has been increased by
a number of acres during the past winter
and there are now eleven greens on the
grounds, which cover eighty-ive acres of
land. The members of this club are from
nearly every eastern city. and 1t is one
of the indications that Cape May Is no
longer to be known as summer abiding
place for Philadelphians alone. Indeed, it
is getting to be fact that Philadelphia.
while the nearest to this resort, no longer
contributes more than one-ffth of its sum-
mer population. Not that Philadelphians
are growing less in their visits here, but
because the resort is growing and the visi-
tors from other sections are increasing.
The first regular tournament of the sea-
son on the golf links was played last Sat
urday, and the winner was G. Howell Parr
of Baltimore, who is known equally as we'll
in New York and Philadelphia. Today the
second regular tournament occurred, and
Mr.. Parr again entered into the contest.
Some of the more prominent players have
not yet arrived and are not expected until
early in July, after which the interest will
increase as the points are piled up for
the various lovers of this English game.
One of the prominent players this week
has been Robert ]. Wynne. first assistant
postmaster general. who played around the
course with his friend, Col, Geo. w. Boyd.
the general passenger agent of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
Active preparations are being made for
the convention of the Pennsylvania State
Bar Association, which will be held at the
Stockton Hotel on June IS, % and 30.
The municipal authorities have provided
for free band concerts to be given in the
public pavilions on the beach front during
July and August
Cape May should have celebrated its Tooth
anniversary two years ago, as this place
was advertised resort as early as 1901
when the stage routes were given and the

CATSKILL. N. Y, June 16, 1904.
week of glorious June weather has
fairly launched the hundreds of summer
resorts in this region into another season.
All that is needed now is some sultry
weather, and then the hotelmans heart
will leap for joy.
Although the Catskills are some distance
away many Westinghouse come here
year after year. The great summer popu-
lation of the mountains is made up from
inhabitants of the nearby cities, but the
fame of the Catskills as a summer resort
has extended all over the EARTH and many
come religiously, season after season, from
far distant points.
Like the Philadelphians, the Washington
folk have habit of segregating themselves
and occupying cottages in lieu of hotels
and in the beautiful Twilight, Sunset. Santa
Cruz and Onteora parks many members Of
Washington society take up their abode.
Recent rains have brought out latent
shrubbery, and now the mountains are a
mass of green. While the resorts are fast
ready for guests before July. The Kaater-
skill and the Catskill Mountain House will
open the last of this month. The Antiers

any time, but to those who prefer cottage

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, June 49, 1904.
Low temperature has been the cause of
a more or less backward season. While the
Unseasonably Geld weather of the past
week has apparently placed a ban on the
arrival of guests at both Cape Henry and
the Beach, it has in a measure served
coed purpose by furthering the progress of
improvements. The Chesapeake Transit
CCmpanys new depot at Cape Henry is be-
ginning to assume some shape and to give
some idea of the striking appearance its
white brick walls and redtied roof will
pI esent. The colonial shaped addition to
the Arlington Hotel at the Beach has also
reached satisfactory stage of completion,
and it is expected that the formal opening
OF this new section will be celebrated with
in the next two weeks.
There will be confirmation services held
at Gallilee Church next Sunday morning. at
which Bishop Randolph of the diocese of
Virginia will preside. Quite a large class
will be confirmed, and as it has been an
nounced that the bishop will preach it is
expected that the little church will be
filled to it's capacity. The Rev. E. P. Miner,
assistant rector of ST Luke's Church in
Norfolk, has charge of Gallilee Church at
present and will assist the bishop in the
services next Sunday morning.
Mrs. Barton Meyers, president of the in
FAINT sanitarium has formally opened that
institution at the Beach. 1t is dependent
entirely upon the good wishes and charity
of those inclined to further such work, and
already several families have been pro-
vided for and at the sanitarium for the
season.
Mrs. j. D. Bliss, Mr. George Fleming and
Mrs. Fleming of Capitol Hill arrived at the
Cape yesterday morning. Mrs. Bliss will
remain for the season, but Mr.. Fleming
and Mrs. Fleming route to New
York to be gone for some time.
Mr.. ]. w. Bulla and wife registered at
the Cape Henry Hotel during the past
week. They returned to Washington last
Monday.
There has been an unusually heavy sea
tide along the beach front at the Cape for
the past week, which has washed away the
partly constructed lines that were to be
used for the bathers. The lines are being
rebuilt with stouter poles and will be fin
ished within the next few days, when it is
expected that the bathing season will for
mally open.
Mr.. G. L. Dyer and Mrs Dyer, u s. NJ.
are registered at the Princess Anne and
will remain for few weeks.
Other Washington guests stopping at the
Princess Anne are: C. NJ Elinenhorst,
Mrs. Ballantyne, Mr.. c. b. Floyd and Mrs.
Floyd, Mr.. II. E. Evans. Mr.. Fulton r. Cor
don and Mrs. Gordon, DR.. A. A. Marsteller
Mr. George p. Robinson and Mrs. Robin
son and Mr.. Morrison Waters.
The Queen Anne cottages have been reno
waited and refurnished to some extent The
antique furniture with which these cot
tages are furnished still forms a part of it's
equipment with some additions recently
in ported from the old country and the
form a unique and decided departure from
the usual run of seaside hotels. Mr..
Adolph Kahn and Mrs. Kahn of Washing
toa were recent guests at the cottages.
