BY 1. c. pEMAREE.

One Of Daytona's crownlng gIo-
ries is her incompatible beach. No
one who ever set foot upon its
smooth, packed sands; no one who
ever pedaled a bicycle over its ex-
panse; no one who ever drove a
prancing pair of horses and listen
ed to the popping Of their steel shoes
upon its asphaltum-like face; no one
who ever steered a high-pOwer au-
tomobile down the broad stretch Of
wave-washed and surf-packed sand
but realized that it is a wOrId-beat-
er. a world-wOnder. Go stand upon
this wide speedway and see the hap
by souls fit by in joyous mood, and
answer whether this is not one Of
the seven modern wonders.
The Placid, PelIucid Halifax River.
Where think you is water with more
picturesque surroundings? Nearly a
mile VIDE. fringed with tropical vege-
tation. artistic cottages with rOomy
verandas looking out upon her bosom,
gamey food fishes in countless num-
bers Reckoning, as il were, to those
with rod and reel; her bosom fleck-
ed with duck and coot and snowy
winged sea birds, which sit about as
if for the sport of bObbing upon the
waves; watch that lubberIy old
white headed pelican pouch a fat
mullet, and that fish hawk struggling
upward with his laundering load he
snatched from the water.
See the beautiful launches, spick
and span, their hampers and lockers
bullying with refreshments both solid
and liquid ready for a cruise upon tn
beautiful surface. Take out your fiel
glass and sweep the river from
Ormondg bride to Ponce Park
light house, then say whether the
Halifax isn't a thing of beauty and
a joy forever, and one of the modern
wonders.

from these extended arms great fes-

the impression Of a fairy path with

See the glistening leaf Of the grand
magnolia which nature has vanished
as no artists brush ever could; and
the cabbage palms with their burdens
of snowy fruit and swaying palms;
see the lovely holly with its eXQuis-

run riot in the trees; see the cryp-
