theater on the marsh lands of Anastasia ISL
and while they look at the saw grass covered
mud banks but were they to view the beauty
and magnitude OF Mr.. Brainards scheme,
they would at once clap their hands and cry,
Bravo. The plans are to select all those
hundreds of acres lying between the Matan-
zas river and the ocean, and after striking
the center, begin eXcavating TO a depth SUI
dCient to make an aquarium for porpoise,
gators sea-cows and all such denzens OF the
sea ana the rivers. and with birds
OF the marsh and swamps, have
one Of. the grandest Of schools for the
lovers OF nature. The plan Is TO keep on dig
glug ana carrying the mud to the extreme
radius OF a circle, the rim Of which is to be
sufficiently broad to admit of race course,
and to I'LL on the outside enough land for pa
godas, stables booths, etc. Adobe walls
made from the mud are to be built around the
race track to exclude the non paying public

Arcadia Arcadian: A simultaneous search
after stolen cattle appears to have been made
by the cattlomen throughout all the surround
ing country, and If the efforts of all the par
ties that are now out are as well rewarded as
the one that drove into Arcadia Saturday
evening, cattle stealing will prove an un-
profitable as well as dangerous employ
mont Messrs- Crews & Parker sent word to
the cowboys scattered throughout the coun-
try from Wauchula and Josephine 20 Arcadia
to meet them at Crew sville on the 31st ult
Ihirty-two well mounted thoroughbreds,
VINO were armed with WtnChes-
ter rifles and shotguns, responded to
the summons. The plan of search was
carefully mapped out everyone was assigned
his duty, and leaving Crewsvine Tuesday
afternoon, they rode down the valley of Oak
Creek, which empies into the Big Charlie,
past Art Daughtry's, where they had pre-
viouslV penned several head. and stopped the
first night at Jack ScarborOugh's; mounting
again early next morning they kept on to Ed
Wade's searching every pasture on the way,
ana when they rode into Arcadia Thursday
evening they had collected a herd of 1874 head
fully 40 OF them having defaced brands and
marks, and two-thirds of them evidently
freshly effaced. The cattle were driven into
Parkers lot and will be turned over TO. Sheriff
I}ethea TO be reclaimed by their respective
owners, Another party of cowboys are in
vestigating the mysteries Of Indian prairie;
third has crossed the CaloOsahatchie and are
searching the pastures IN that vicinity; there
IS no telling how many more will eventually
be heard from. The search was so quietly
and carefully organized that no outsider had
any intlmation Of it until all the parties we're
in the saddle, consequently no effort was
made TO conceal the cattle and no serious OBJ
position was met with anywhere One thing
has been demonstrated the cattle thieves
must be slick artists at defacing, or the keen
eyes OF the professional COW boy will trace the
old brand beneath the attempted obliteration.
