CAPE MAY, N. j.. August g. 1903.
As the season advances Cape May be-
comes more cosmopolitan. and the tho,n
sands of visitors who are down here bv
the sounding sea waves realize this fact
more and more as they mingle with one
another and take part in the many social
events which are transpiring. 1t used to
be that most of the visitors here were
Philadelphians. but conditions have
changed, and cities like Baltimore New
York, st. Louis, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
Washington send almost an equal number
of representatives. Philadelphians how
ever. come here in just as large numbers,
but the. increase has been from other cit
les. and consequently. the gradual and
healthy boom which started some three
years ago takes on greater volume as ii
takes on age. AS a consequence hotels
which were filled to their utmost capacity
in the height of the summer season are
now passing through such an experience,
and tonight finds Cape May we'll crowded
and brilliant. Social events. which are
numerous. including the Saturday night
dances at the larger hotels. are all crowd
ed, and there is no place where person
may see more richly dressed women and
men.
