AS A WINTER RESORT"

The visitors from Chicago were deligh
ed with the moderate temperature, crisp
air and clear, sunny skies that they found
at Richmond yesterday. 1t was really
pretty chilly day for Richmond, but the
strangers from the city of cutting lake
breezes murmured of the Champs Elysees.
What bracing, cool, dry air!" "Beauti-
full, sunny skies!' Wonderful winter
weather.. .tRichmond ought to be adver-
tised as a winter resort" were some of
the remarks that were made.
'Richmond ought to be advertised as a
winter resort
There is sound reason to back up that
impulsive remark. The Western hust-
ler's subjective thinking apparatus jumped
to a. conclusion which can be demonstrate
ed in figures
The Northern States had been educated
somewhat to an appreciation OF the ad-
vantages Of this city as a winter resort,
but the destruction OF our one real hotel
shattered that prestige to bits. With our
tine hotels now built and building there
S no reason why the missionary work
should not be begun again and pushed
with vigor all, along the line. Every Rich
.nonder at home and abroad should feel
himself an AMBASSADOR in the cause OF
Richmond. ana not the least duty OF an
AMBASSADOR is the CAIN, lnslstent adVer-
t;sins of tho advantages Of his country,
one OF the most important OF Richmond, s
assets is its climate.
The comparative data gathered by the
Weather Rureau from all over the United
states will bear out the assertion that

a3ond has a superior in the country. There
are other places that are warmer, but as
rule they are persistently warm to the
r.:oi,1t of enervation. The true winte-: re-
so-,t should have a climate so nicely bal
anced between the fot and the cold that
the visitor from either extreme can live
there without discomfort, and can return
to his home without any shock to his
health due TO the process of reacclima th

vantage, and it has besides every social
