CAPE MAY, July H. 1907.
A most pleasant week as far as social
matters and good weather is concerned has
been enjoyed by the thousands of visitors
who are here for visits of long or short
duration.
The Women's Association of the Cape
May Golf Club has taken the lead during
the week and has inaugura ted its week
ly handicap medal play tournaments and
the first Of them was started Tuesday
afternoon. Thursday afternoon a series of
bridge whist contests began. which will be
played each Thursday during the summer
In addition to the reg ular weekly events
there are to be major contests, which will
be played August | and August y for
handsome prizes. The committee In charge
Of these bridge whist affairs has issued
order that no money stakes shall be wager
ed. and some of the ultra sporting class
who are looking for a chance to verify the
usual prediction to whist contests have
therefore been disappointed
The Cape May Yacht Club last night had
a spirited contest for the election of its Of
fcers for the present summer. and for
every Office to be filed there We're two
three contestants. This organization has
become prominent factor in the social life
here. and the receptions given on Saturday
afternoons are largely attended by the Wis
itors and detract somewhat from the popu-
larity which was formerly attained by the
Saturday afternoons at the golf clubhouse.

The bathing season is on, and thousands
of people who daily disport in the edge of
the old ocean are thoroughly enjoying the
most healthful and invigorating temporal
ture to which the water has arisen. The
fashionable bathing hour at Cape May is
from III to | O'Clock. but there is a diSpo-
q a N
to get away from that. and 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to find bathers in the edge of the
surf from early morning until dark. 1t is
becoming popular for women to take early
morning baths. and the business men who
ride to the city every day and return enjoy
their surf baths after their arrival at the
shore on the evening trains
