 TAMPA'S EARTHLY PARADISE.
 The Tampa Bay Hotel is beyond all question the finest resort hotel on the North American continent, and situated as it is in tropical Florida, makes 1t all the more attractive. The climate is sublime, and now, in February, while the winter blasts are blowing in the North, the warm sunshine of the South brings health and pleasure to all who visit this beautiful resirt. Fish are plentiful and nearly every species from the magnificent tarpon the silver king to the small but beautiful trout, are to be caught in the waters around the hotel The season for good duck shoot ing is at hand. and not q day passes that parties do not come in with num- bers of the birds, have them prepared at the hotel by the most noted chefs in the world and served few hours after they are shot.
 There are nearly half hundred pro- fessional and amateur golfers wintering at this resort, and this fact can be ac- counted for when one remembers that the links of the Tampa Bay Golf club are not only the finest in the state, but among the best in the country. A through Pullman and dining service is operated from Jersey City to the hotel steps without change of cars.
