Tax Collector Francis G. Anthony,
who, with his wife, returned from a
stay of several weeks at Rockledge,
Fla, last Friday, is high in his praises
of the sunny land of oranges and alli
gators. He said that in and around
Rockledge there is considerable col

families, c. w. Blakeslee.
AZ Fort Pierce Mr.. Anthony saw Jul
1ius Tyler, formerly of New Haven,
who has recently had slight paralytic
shock. Mr.. Tylers son, Frank Tyler,
conducts a hotel at Fort Pierce, and has
a prosperous business,
Mr. Anthony stayed while in Rock
lodge at the Rockledge hotel, owned by
IT ?. Shares of this city, and managed
he, TT r Bemis He says that Mr..
shares has recently made an extensive
addition to the house, and that the
hotel has been full of guests all the sea-
eon The Rocllledge hotel is especially
nonular from the fact that Mr.. Shares
furnishes carriages and naphtha
launch for the use of guests at the no.
tel free of extra charge.
Alligator hunts are held three times a

ora cantured at nearly every expedi-
zion Mr. Anthony says that the meth
cd of catching the gators is a peculiar

tho creatures may be, and if any are

laws and then hang to it as tenaciously

hang TO the pole that they are drawn to

nassed over the head and the reptile is
drawn up on the shore. If, while the

hand is placed on the jaws. they
can be easily held shut. but once let
the creature get them open, then it is
IS time for the hunter TO leave the i'm
mediate vicinity The hunter must be
wary or he will get a blow from the tail
of the captive creature, and these blows
come with such force as can only be at
tested by those who have received them.
Mr.. Anthony says that while he was
at Rockledge two men brought in, as
a result of one days hunt, sixty-five
ducks. and that he saw channel bass
caught which weighed forty pounds. He
states that orange groves along Indian
river have not been injured by frosts as
yet this season.
