Beach Season
Not Ended
Many Summer Residents Plan
to Stay Longer at
Camp May, N. J.

CAPE MAY, N. j., Aug. 30
The passing of Labor Day, al
though it means the leaving of a
great many Of our summer resi-
dents, does not mean that Cape
May will have terminated its
summer season. A great number
of summer cottagers have signi-
fled their intentions of staying at
least through September. All the
private and municipal features
will be kept going until the mid
die of the month.
Tonight's concert on the pier
is featured with the temperance
of Henri Scott. baritone. formerly
of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, who will be the vocalist
appearing with Clarence Fuhr-
mans little symphony orchestra.
The storm of last week which
caused no damage whatsoever
and which proved only disastrous
to the present spell of abun-
dant fishing has entirely receded

Park
Near End of
Season
Chesapeake Beach Resort to
Close Sept. Z; Fishing
Still the Big Sport

Although the season for Sea-
side Park, the new amusement re-
sort beside Chesapeake Bay, will
officially close on September z,
there will be many attractions at
Chesapeake Beach through the
early autumn. The park, this
weekend, is bringing its nine-day
annual carnival to close. and
Labor Day will mark the climax
of the festivities. But there will
be much to draw WashingtonianS
to the neartst saltwater resort
after the coaster dip Is still and
the carrouSel has made its final
round.
Fishing is especially popular at
Chesapeake Bay resorts right
now, and Of late Capt. Noah Haz-
zard, whose name is almost sy-
nonymous with Chesapeake Beach
fishing, has been running a boat
to the Eastern Shore on Sun
days and Thursdays to accommo-
date Washington fishermen.
It has been leaving Chesapeake
Beach at 10:30 a. m, shortly
after the arrival of the 9 a. m.
train from District Line station,
and returning from the fishing
grounds in ample time for the
Z o'clock evening train to Wash
ington. Captain Hazard is
authority for the statement that
the fish are amazingly greedy
right now.
The new motor road is prov
ing q powerful lure to Washing
tonians. for they are now able
to drive to Chesapeake Beach
by a direct route that saves
much time and mileage. Next
season. it is confidently hoped,
the new ferry boats will be in
operation to the Eastern Shore,
thereby bringing Cambridge, Sal
isbury, Ocean City and various
over southern Maryland points
into close touch with Washington.

ResOrtSeasOn
Lengthened
Colonial Beach Delays Close
TO Sept. 7 on Account
Of Early Labor Day

COLONIAL BEACH, Va. Aug.
30.-Planned and announced but
a short week ago, the extension
Of the season here at the beach
from Labor Day until after Sep
tember z. has caught on"
Because of the fact that Labor
Day comes so early this year and
because the weather has been
such, ideal vacation weather. the
idea of extending the season was
, adopted by the local board of
trade, and a great many cottage
people have planned to stay.
Also, all of the amusementS
and hotels will remain open and
it is a recognized fact that the
best trout fishing comes here at
the end of August and through
September.
All during the week vacation
lists from Washington and Balti.
more have been pouring in for
the weekend. The bathing beach
has been crowded with people
and a large number of yachts
have remained anchored off the
pier all week.
, Next Saturday. Mayor-elect
James A. Myers will take office
and a great many friends from
here and Washington, where he
used to live, have wired to offer
their congratulations.

Blue Vistas
BeckOn Now
To Hikers
Nearby Mountain Trails Await
Climbers as Summer
Season WaneS

Now that the summer Is wan
ing, thoughts Of Washingtonians
are turning to the mountains in
stead of the seaside resorts and
other watering places.
While no mountains can be
seen in this locality, even from
the peak of the tall Washington
Monument, this city is only
about two hours motor ride
from scenic rolling country where
the mountain lovers can Chamber
up to the rugged mountain sum-
nits from three to four thousand
feet high.
The Potomac Appalachian
Trail Club has planned hiking
trail that runs along the crest
of the Blue Ridge that makes
that region accessible to any
person living in the District.
After less than three hours with
an automobile, one can work
southwark from Harpers Ferry,
over LAB miles of skyline trail
to the southern end of the Shen-
andoah National Park. In addi-
ton the club has opened up
many miles of side trails lead
ing through virgin forests to
the rocky gorges for which the
Blue Ridge is famous.
Starting at Harpers Ferry, the
trail leads over Stony Man Noun
tain, IS miles from the starting
point. 1t touches Paris, in Ashby
Gap, and Linden, in Manassas
Gap, Flint Hill, which is on tae
trail, is the gateway to Mt. Mar
shall, 1858 feet high. At Wash
lngton, Va, the tourists stop to
witness relics of colonial and
Civil War days. Sperryville is
reached just before the ascent Of
the ridge at Thornton GAP,
Thornton Gap. on the Lee High
way, is one of the most beauti-
ful spots of the trail.
After leaving Panorama the
trail goes to Skyland and climbs
Mary's Rock Mountain, which
affords a beautiful view of the
surrounding mountains.
South of Skyland the trail con-
tinueS on up Hawks Bill Noun
tain, 4,06l feet high, and from
thence it winds from peak to
peak until it reaches Rock Fish
Gap near WayneSboro. It goes
through the Natural Bridge, Nat
ional Forest and terminates at
the Peaks of Otter.

The Valley of Virginia is now the

Luray CaUerns Draw
100000 Sightseers
This Year

LURAY, Va. Aug. 30.-The
beautiful caverns of Luray this
year attained the goal set by
it's sponsors with the arrival Of
the sight-Seers reaching round
figures of 100000.
The caverns boast a con.
venience to excursioniSts un.
known to other caves. with its
new route which enables the
sight-seer to see the rooms re-
plete with stalagmiteS and
stalactites without retracing
steps.
Comparing this great nat
ural curiosity with others Of
the same class IL is safe to
say there Is probably no cavern
in the world more completely
and prOfuSely decorated with
stalactitic and Stalagmitic Orna-
mentatiOn than that Of Luray."
So did a party from the
Smithsonian Institution laud
the beautiful caverns Of Luray.

Democratic and Republican poll

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Aug. 80.
Invasion of the oyster grounds
near here by schools of drum
fish is causing owners of the
oyster beds much anxiety.
These fish have throats so
constructed that they can crush
an oystershell, eating the oyster
and ejecting the shell. Oyster
tongers declare that one drum
fish alone is capable of destroy
ing many bushels of oysters in
single day, while a school of
them will often leave a large
area devoid of oysters.
]. w. Cheseldine, operator Of
the boat railway on st. Georges
Island, recently reported that
he had caught 60-pound drum
fish. The fish was caught with
a hand line while Cheseldine
was fishing from the yacht of
L. P. Huntington near Tall Tim
bers.
