TOURS TO FTORTnA

NO district in America presents. dur
ing the Winter season, so many varied
attractions as the State of Florida. Be
sides its delightful climate. which to
one escaping from the cold and un-
healthful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is pre-eminently a
land of sport and pleasure. Along its
eleven hundred miles of salt water
coast and in its twelve hundred fresh
water lakes are fish of almost every
conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters
to the tarpOn, pOmpano, and others of
more tropical character. Nowhere
IN all our broad land can the angler
md a greater variety of game or better
sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic
hunter finds safety. Deer, turkeys
bears, panthers, and wild cats roam az
large through the more sparsely set
tied regions, while birds of all kinds
may be found in abundance throughout
the state. The more novel sport of alli-
gator and manatee hunting may also
be indulged in by the more adventurous
tourist

groves, its rivers and lakes, its boat
