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 a 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 a few hours after they are shot.
 There are nearly half a 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.

TN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
JUDGE LYNDE HARRISON FILES STITEM ENT IN PLANT CASE.
The Noted Case is Reopened-- Hearing Before Judge Cleaveiand Friday Engineer Reed Charged With Man- slaughter -- Matters tn the Common
 Pleas and City Courts.

Judge Lynde Harrison one of the eX- ecutors in the estate of the late Henry
 Bradley Plant millionaire, yesterday filed the first account of the executors, showing the estate to be worth about 1 $16,50 O0O. A hearing on the account has been scheduled by Judge Cleave-
 land of the probate court for o'clock Friday afternoon. The filing by Judge | Harrison has peculiar significance
 Judge Cleaveland during the past year had decided that the estate should
 be settled in Connecticut and in this
 city, where it was found from the evil
 dence that the late capitalist was dom
 iciled, If the will was to be probated here and its exact letter car ried out the vast fortune would remain undivided until two generations hence. ! The widow brought the matter to the New York courts because she claimed her husband was domiciled in New
 York city, where under the Empire state laws she would be given third
 of the estate. Judge Leventritt of the New York court decided that the will be probated under the laws there. Hence the matter stands between the
 decisions of two judges in two states,
 and no further move has been made.
 Judge Harrison, however has in
 way ignored the New York finding, and
 is proceeding to complete his work as
 one of the appointed executors in this
 city. The case reopens under condi-
 tions interesting to those who have
 been watching the proceedings since the
 will was first filed in the local court.
