 The present season, now at it's height, has been the most successful one the south has ever known. The social summer life of Bar liar bor, Saratoga, Lenox and all the chief resort centers of the north, has been transferred to Florida, Aiken and Au- gusta.
 The winter climatically, is the most delightful one in many years at all of these places. Golf, shooting and fish, ing, bicycling and tennis rule the day, and concerts, entertainments and balls occupy the evenings.
 On the east coast of Florida surf bathing and bicycling upon the hard boulevard-like beaches are the popu- lar diversions.
 | The New York and Florida Limited, "The Florida Short Line" the most magnificent train in the world, has been the greatest factor in making the southern season successful, because it has made the journey itself veritable l delight. When the announcement of the New York and Florida Limited | was first made public, 1t was heralded 1 by the press through the length and breadth of the land as an illustration of the extreme limit which it was pos sible to reach, both as to speed and the refinements of travel Many expressed l the belief that the fast time adver- tised could not possibly be made. To cut down old established schedules from twelve to eighteen hours seemed impossible; to be able to lunch in New York one day and St. Augustine the next, preposterous.s
 And yet all of this has been done; not on a few special occasions, but regularly for several seasons by the New York and Florida Limited, and its remarkable time has been maintained with the regularity of clock work. Thousands of delighted passengers who have made the journey on this train de luxe between New York and ] Florida, have realized that upon it travelling has been brought to fine art.
