THE LARSEN STUDIO
AND ART GALLERY.
Where Hundreds of Works Show the
Skill of An Artist,

In recent years the progress made IN
photography has been very rapid,
Completely revoluti0nizing the old
methods and demanding for success
full results, ability Of pronounced or
der. At one time photography was
in a sense purely mechanical. To-day
1T is quite different. The successful
photographer requires thorough
knowledge OF chemistry, an artistic
eve and a natural appreciation Tor
neatness, grace and Commentator;
The studio conducted by Mr.. Alfred
Larsen In our city, In its appolnt,
ments suggests the fine and cultured
tastes Of It's proprietor, and thls IS
borne out by the fine array OF work
which In cabinets, imperials, pastel
and platinum work the eye rests upon
admiringly. Mr.. Larsen has given
to Mexico a thorougly progressive es-
tablishment, which reflects the very
latest suggestion in the artistic and
mechanical progress OF modern pho,
Biography, and being up-to-date at all
times he absolutely guarantees his
patrons prompt delivery upon the day
specified, whether the sun shines or
not, and by his methods you need
have no fear of his work turning vel
| low or fading, as the high class or
chemicals used makes 1t an impossi-
bility. Mr.. Larsen has one OF the best
equipped studios In the state, regard
less Of the size of city, and in the op-
tical department he has over S3, 600
Invested in instruments and is the
possessor Of some of the finest lenses
In this country or any other country:
one in particular for instantaneous
work is the only one Of its kind In the
state, and that he knows how to use
them is attested by the fine display OF
work done. His studio Is the best
lighted in this part Of the state, and
we doubt IL its equal can be found In
any Of the larger cities of the state OF
leounty. Mr.. Larsen is always an at
tendant upon national and state con-
Iventions and his display Of work is al
ways a point of interest to the photo
graphers of the state and nation, and
at the state convention held In July
1908, he was awarded over all compet
litors beautiful loving cup for por
} traits of excellence and artistic merit

FISHING AND BATHING.
Editor White is in Salt Water and
Tells Fish Stories, as Usual.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, jan. g.
There is no better place to get clear
of the cold weather than southern
Texas. We are Laving some fine fish
ing here.
From March to November these
waters abound with tarpon, and hun
dreds are caught every season by
sportsmen who visit this famous fish,
ing ground. However, Of the hun
dreds caught very few are killed, all
being put back in the water, where
after few hours rest, they are again
ready for the fray A few are mount
ed by the local taxidermist to adorn
some fisherman's office, den or dining
room, and to which he can proudly
point as trophy well earned.
The sport to be bad here is beyond
the dream OF any fisherman. Besides
the unlimited supply of Tarpon, these
waters abound with jew or june fish,
Jack fish, red fish, king fish, trout,
mackerel, pompano, sheepshead, and
other varieties
Corpus Christi, county seat Nueces
County, is located on the west side Of
Corpus Christi Bay, one hundred and
fifty miles southeast OF San Antonio.
1t is known as the "Bluif City" be-
cause situated upon bluff sixty feet
above the surface of the waters of the
Bay. This Bay has an area of one
hundred and fifty square miles and
has a mean average depth Of about
fourteen feet.
AS health resort Corpus Christi
takes the lead. With pleasant sun
shine, a cool and refreshing breeze and
freedom from fog, the Bluff City
challenges comparison with any local
ity in either Europe or America. The
germs Of consumption are permanently
eradicated by the life-giving ozone
contained In the perennial breeze from
the Gulf and Bay, and all diseases oI
miasmatic or contagious nature are
unknown here, except they be brought
In by a foreign agency The deatt
rate of Corpus Christi is lower thar
that Of any other coast city In tht
world, and the wonderful facilities rnl
enjoying boating and sailing should
not be overlooked. With scores O
sailboats and launches, a beautiful
stretch of waters, land-locked and saf'
from squalls and sudden storms, thu
Bay Of Corpus Christi presents aquatic
charms which are difficult to find else
where.
II Bathing is one of the chief attrac
.. tions of the Bluff City. With thre'
miles of sandy beach, as hard ant
i smooth as maple floor, and breaker
! of Just the right dimensions, Corpu
Christi beach presents overtures which
are hard to resist. even by the mos
timid. There is absolutely no under
: tow and no danger attends the bathe
] whatever. The water Of the bay is 0
!, uniform depth and always warm an
!. pleasant.
