Sherrerd, to William Page will take place the last of September. As usual. Mr. Boldt has kept ahead of the procession, and in capturing the great Li and making the Waldorf the headquarters for the time being of the civic, military, naval and diplomatic authorities he has scored one of his greatest successes. If there is anything in which Mr.

Boldt revels more than another it is color and ceremony and celebrities, and he has had them all In great profusion at the Waldorf the past week. While his hotel has been flaming with yellow Inside and out, and the dragon waving in a dozen places, the scores of other hotel men have been yellow with jealousy and squirming at the Idea of li.irlnir nuiuori tne temporary centre of the United States. Even Chang himself (nrobablv be cause his favorite dish of boiled chicken was better than usual) declared that the Waldorf v.as tne greatest thing in the hotel line he had so far encountered in his trip around the world. The points of physical resemblance between LI Hung Chang and the lamented James G. Blaine have struck many as remarkable.

And yet Blaine did not like the heathen Chinee. Aside from nersonal re semblance Blaine was the plumed kulght of nis country just as Li is the peacock plumed kulght of his. A very fitting close to the gay season at Cape May was the bowling party given by Mrs. J. Pemberton Newbold on Saturday evening last.

The prizes offered for the best scores were costly and handsome, and it was a merry party that assembled later under Mrs. Nowbold's hospitable roof, where they enjoyed the elaborate supper prepared for them. Noticeable among the many guests were Baron and Baroness Von Hazen, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sartori, Mrs.

Dr. Chrystie, Mr. and Mrs. William Welsh, Count Trollyno, Miss Julia Laminot, Charles Lam-mot and Madame Romolo. Philip R.

Muller, of Hughes Muller, has just returned from a trip to London. Colonel R. Dale Beuson, accompanied by Graff, has Just arrived at Mt. Kineo House, Maine, after a three weeks' hunting trip through the Maine woods. Colonel Benson reports having seen in that time 213 deer, 3 caribou, 14 moose and 3 bears.

One of the bears they "secured" and have It with the skin, which they propose bringing home to show their admiring circle of friends. On accouut of the strict hunting laws the Colonel and Mr. Graff were unable to try for any of the deer or caribou. It is said that when he saw a moose the Colonel drew bis cartridges, and they sat down and kept tally of the passing deer on the butts of their guns. They didn't do a thing but watch the game pass by.

Miss Margaret F. Sullivan, of Syracuse, X. with Miss Mary Mullynn and Miss Helen E. Reynolds, of Philadelphia, have been spending a very pleasant time at the Seaside Hotel, Atlantic City. The stirring Hungarian Band, of the Bryn Mawr Hotel, which is to discourse music there during the autumn, opened up there yesterday In great shape.

Mr. and Mrs. S. Kingston McCay have returned from the Maryland Blue Mountain House, where they knew almost everybody. David W.

Sellers and his family are also back. Among yester day's arrivals were Mrs. A. T. Kelly and daughters, including Mrs.

C. K. Hlnsmau of St. Louis, who spent most of last winter at Palm Beach, In Florida. It Is a curious fact that the first Important advertisement secured by the late Charles E.

Warburton for bis paper, the Evening Tele graph, was given him by John Wannmaker, The firm was then Wananiaker Brown, and young anamaker did an enormous amount of work in a day, and especially at tended to the advertising, as it is said he does to this day. Mr. Warburton, then a young man, went in and described the char acter of the paper he proposed publishing, and asked for Mr. anamaker advertising, which was cheerfully granted in the shape of a good-sized card. Mr.

Warburton has often said that he never forgot Mr. anamaker manner and that Interview. Now Mr. AV'ar- burton's son, the proprietor of the Evening Telegraph, is married to John Wanamaltf r's daughter. Dr.

CAPTAIN CLARK ON THE STAGE The Veteran Life Saver is a Benefit and Appears as the Hero of a Drama. Progressive Euchre Parties Still Contlnns an Attraction at the Quean City by the Sea.

Special Telegram to The Times. Atlantic City, September 1. The downpour of last night literally washed out August and in radiant style ushered in September. The day has been so thoroughly fine and invigorating that every one felt inspired to participate In a ten-mile promenade, a 200-yard swim and eating a barrel, and the majority since early morning have been endeavoring to put these feelings into execution. And with the exception of the hoops, staves and heading they have succeeded admirably.

Captain Clark, the velvet-coated hero of the beach front, was given a benefit at Al- brecht's Garden last night, and signalized the occasion by appearing himself in a drama entitled "A Lively Corpse." In this he figured as the central character, that of Dr. Clark, a famous surgeon. The garden was crowded with the captain's admirers, who applauded him almost at every turn. Captain Clark, In a red belt, velvet coat and buff trousers, is a sight on the beach, but when he dons stage clothes and appears before the footlights well, you ought to see him! Nothing can equal his tragic manner. i perhaps that of Professor Walters, when he walks the boardwalk slowly, clutches the place where his heart Is supposed to be, rolls his eyes heavenward, and in melancholy tones says there Is a great void in his breast that can only be filled by his having a mother-in-law.

The audience is generally equally affected by both of these trngl-comedy gentlemen. There was a delightful muslcale given last night at Mrs. John T. Irwin's Chelsea home by the sea. It might have been appropriately called a Quaker City musical, for the pro moters thereof and all of the participants were Philadelphlans.

The firs number on the programme was a duet by Mrs. and Mr. John T. Irwius, which was followed by a solo by Miss Maud Irwlns, niece of the hostess. Next was a banjo song and dance by Nelson Gray, a violin solo by Miss Ella Bright, a recitation of Southern darkey life entitled, "My Little Cabin Home Away Down Souf," delightfully rendered by Miss Pauline Powers.

This was followed by many more numbers, all excellent, and a grnnd chorus by twenty voices closed the musical programme, after which they were escorted into the dining room where an elegant spread awaited them. Among the most prominent in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. John T. Irwlns, Miss Maud Irwlns, Mr.

and Mrs. Nelson Gray, Howard Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew White, Mr. and Mrs.

Harry Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Tar- mely, Mr.

The evening closed delightfully. A twin birthday party was given last even ing at the summer residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tage, on Maryland avenue. In honor of Mrs.

Mulherin. Miss Mercer was awarded the second prize, and Miss Irene Patterson won the third prize. After the awarding of the prizes the porches were cleared, and music and dancing became the order of the evening. Fancy dancing was Indulged in by the children, one and all of whom were so clever that their dainty fantastic steps and graceful movements were enjoyed by all. CLAM-BAKE AT AVAL0N The Opening of the New Board-Walk Is Fittingly Celebrated.

Soeclal Telegram to The Times. Avalon, September 1. A few days ago the splendid new boardwalk was formally opened and the event was fittingly celebrated by a clam-bake, which was held at the famous hostelry after the exercises Incident to the completion of the board-walk were over. Altogether nearly one hundred people took part In the festivities, Including the Mayor of Avalon. Titus Jenkins, an expert in this line, was Imported from New England for the occasion, and the celebration was a success from first to last.

In the evening the guests took a hand at progressive eucbro on the broad vernndas of the hotel. Samuel Thompson, who does not use tobacco In. any form, won the first prize, a box of cigars. Mrs. Charles Hall captured the first ladles' prize and Mrs.

The first of the trial matches arranged by the Associated Clubs in order to give practice to those members of the International teams who can avail themselves ot the opportunity, was started at Elmwood yesterday. G.

S. Patterson was unable to play. E. W. Clark and W.

W. Noble were also unable to be present. There were more than enough players present to fill the vacancies, however, and the game was started shortly before 2 P. with Mr. Cregar's side at the bat.

The bowling was straight and well lodged from the start, and In spite of the fact that the wicket was a good one, the scoring was by no means fast. Arthur Wood lead the run-getters with very careful 42, made without a chance Cregar came next, with a sterling contribution of 41. Bart King played a very good Inning of 39, and Helmbold hit around freely for 30. None of the others made much of a stand, aud the Inning closed for 239. Bert Clark and D.

H. Adams were the first pair of batsmen, and by steady work they slowly put on the runs until the aggregate had reached 26, at which point a triple dis aster occurred, for King, who had been bowling in grand form, clean bowled Clark and Bates, who followed with the last two balls of one over, Pacey's stumps with the first ball of thi next, thus accom plishing the "hat i'eunett next joined Adams, who was batting in rare form, and the pair carried the total to 47, at which stage Adams was cleverly caught and bowled by King, while one run later Bennett fell to a circus catch by Thompson at point off the same bowler, and stumps were drawn for the day, King having disposed of all flv wickets at a cost of a fraction less than four runs each.

Water Mills, L. September 1. Twenty-five young giants disembarked at this place yesterday afternoon to commence training for too University of Penusyivanla foot-ball team. They were driven direct to their quarters at Mecox Inn, where they will lodge for the next month. No practice of any nature was taken by the meu, but they spent their time looking over the place and becoming acquainted with their surouud- lngn.

This morning Coach Woodruff had them all out early. The morning was spent in bath ing, walking, swimming and tenuis playing. No foot-ball was played at all, but In the afternoon the coach called the men to gether and gave them their first Instructions. He talked to them for fully an hour about the requirements of- training and the method of practice to be pursued, urging them to earnest, conscientious work as the only way to success. He spoke very hopefully of the prospect.

At the end of that time all the men were taken out Into the field and a general prac tice on KicKing sua catcning was taKen. No effort was made to size un the new men. but all were given a chance to find out what a foot-ball looks like and how It feels. After the kicking, catching and fall Ing on the hall a short run was taken. All the men seem to be In excellent health.

Woodruff and Farrar are expected Saturday. Until they arrive no election of a captain will occur. Notice has been sent to the old men who will not return, requesting that they forward their ballots at once, so that a decision will certainly be reached on Saturday. Wharton and Minds are the only candidates, and the general Impression is that the Intter will be the unanimous choice. Minds will fill the bill to everyone's satis faction.

He Is certain of making the team, being as strong a player as any In the snuad. and he bears the respect and good-will of every menuier or the team. He will make a good disciplinarian and a heady leader. since he has a thorough knowledge of the game. MATINEE DAY AT POINT BREEZE Professor Morris Gave an Exhibition With His New Electrio Wagon.

To witness the trial of Professor Morris' new electrical road or track wagon a fair- sized crowd wended their way to old Point Breeze course yesterday afternoon. While the wagon was given two trials, the time made was rather disappointing to the crowd, who really Imagined the wagon to show a minute clip, The two miles were done In 3.2414, 3.14, with a capacity of doing better if pushed. There were several races to harness that deserve commendation for honest competition. Dr. Marshall was in the stand as starter; George Rowe and Conrad Esher as sociates.

The report of the Weather Bureau just issued shows that during the past month the weather over the North Atlantic has been remarkably fine, while south of the fiftieth parallel the weather has been continually good, with the exception of a few-reports of moderate gales received from vessels east of Newfoundland.

For. the present month the forecast Is for moderate or fair weather generally over the North Atlantic, with occasional gales north of the thirty-flfih parallel and near the American coast. August broke the record In this city for dryness and for the longest continued period of excessively high temperature. The rain fall for the entire month was but 0.48 inch, or four inches behind the average, the nearest approach to these figures having been made in 1S77, when 0.08 inch fell. For the entire month the average temperature was 78.70, the highest recorded being on the 11th and 12th, when the temperature was 07 degrees.

The lowest recorded was on the last (lay of the month, when the thermometer stood at 60 degrees. The longest stretch of excessively high temperature was during the ten-day period, when it stayed continuously above 90 degrees.
