VIRGINIA BEACH, Va
September I, 1905.
Visitors to both Virginia Beach and Cape
Henry during the past week have been
treated to most beautiful sight Off shore.
The strong northeast wind that has been
blowing for the past few days sometimes
reached lively velocity and piled the surf
high upon the beach with an angry roar
and rush that held the spectators with a
sort of fascination. Some of the more
timid made hasty departure and the exo-
dus has been quite rapid. but a goodly
number Of arrivals has offset the duIlness
that would follow and social affairs have
been equally as numerous as the week
previous.
All interest Is now conferred upon the
Labor day events which have been arranged
for. There will be number of athletic
events. including some comic races and in
addition to the program Of last year a
swimming contest for ladies only and a
motor-boat race will occur just of the
Princess Anne. The course will be from
the old fiume to the Dictator flgurehead
and will end in front of the Princess Anne
porches. from where a good view can be
obtained Three prizes have been offered
for the ladies' race and several more for
ular german will be given at the hotel.
