Tours to Florida.

No dis.rIctin America presents, dur
ng the Winter season, so many snried
attractions as the State OF Florida. Be-
sides its delightful climate, which 10 one
escaping from the cild and unhealthfal
changes of the North seems almost ethe-
real. Il is pre-eininen;iy land Of sport
and pleasure. Along its eleven hundred
miles Of saltwater coast and i'm its twelve
hundred freshwater lakes are fish OF al
most every conceivable variety, from the
migratory tribes common 70 Northern
waters TO the tarpon, pompano, and 9TH
ers OF more tropical character. No
where in all our broad land can the ang-
Ter find greater variety of game or bet
ter sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, pan
thers, and wild eats roam at large through
the more sparseiy settled regions, while
birds OF all kinds may be found in aband-
ance throughout the State. The more
novel sport of alligator and manzfee
hunting may also be induiged in By the
more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, il boating
and bathing, is fishing and hunting. and
lis extensive forests, Florida presents
unrivaled attractions fJr the valetudinar-
ian, the lover OF nature. the sportsman,
and the explorer.
TO this attractive State the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company has arranged
four personally-conducted tours duriDg

its rivals, New Brunswick, Railway and
