Miss Piatt Gives Good lime Club a
Bowling Party.

The Good Time club is giving some
charming affairs and the dull summer
months are being greatly enlivened
thereby.
Miss Edith Piatt, one of the popu-
lar members of the club, gave bowl
ing party Thursday July p, to the
club and few of her other friends.
This was the first bowling party that
has been given in a long time and it
was very heartily enjoyed.
Chaperoning the party were Mr.. d
W. Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Sis
trunk, Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. Watson
and Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Marsh.
The members of the club present
were Misses Piatt, Emily Ford, john
ME Liddon, Valeta Potter, Eulalee
and Eloyse Izlar and Sara Harris
and the following visiting young
ladies: Misses Mary Piatt, Mary
Reardon and Claire Woodbridge.
The gentlemen bowling were Messrs.
John Taylor, w. H. Powers, Neil
Weathers, Stephen Jewett, W. d.
Taylor, J. H. Mathews, G. H. Ford,
E. T. Helvenston and Sandford
Jewett.
On account of the large number
bowling only one game was played,
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Sistrunk choos-
ing the sides. The prizes, hand
some hand painted shaving cup, done
in violets and gold, and lovely set
of shirt waist buttons, decorated
in gold and pink rose buds, were
won by DR.. Powers and Miss Harris.
The prizes were painted by the talent
ed hostess and were extremely love-
ly.

time, but particulars are not obtain
able. though it Is evident that the
East Coast System is contemplating
extensive work on the lower end of
the peninsula and at Key West"
on the same subject the Miami
Evening Record, of the 21st, has this
TO say:
The announcement. made in Tues
days Evening Record, of the imme-
mediate extension of the F. E. c.
Railroad 10 Key West was confirmed
yesterday by J. R. Parrott, vice
president and general manager of
the road, who, it is stated, said the
work on the extension would be COM
menced within a very short time, and
pushed TO an early completion.
1t is probable that three years of
time will be consumed in finishing
the enterprise, which Is one of the
greatest and most unique undertake
ings that were ever commenced in
this country.
The route of the new road will
require the most extensive series of
trestle works. as it will cross from
key to key and island TO island,
traversiDg long stretches of water
until Key West is reached.
Undoubtedly the developments
all along the road will give rise to
new towns of varying size. and will
open up large tracts of vegetable and
fruit country.
1T is understood that one or more
new hotels of the Flagler system will
be erected; one at least at Key West
where a beautiful site has been Sc
cured.
All this immense work will require
a vast amount of labor and the ex-
penditure of large sums of money
within the next three or four years. "
