Difficult Horseback Feat.


There are no better horsemen in the
world than the cavalry officers of the
Italian army. yet even among them
there are very few who could perform
the feat achieved by one Of them. To
run an ordinary foot race is easy
enough, but to run at full speed for
several hundred yards holding in one
hand spoon on which rests an eg.::
and to reach the goal without droppin:
the egg is a feat which must be prac-
dced carefully long time before it
can be performed successfully. and as
q result there are not many who can
be sure Of accomplishing it whenever
they try. Great. therefore. was the
surprise when an Italian officer mount
ed on horseback performed this diff
cult feat. Moreover. he selected a
course in which there were two OF
three high fences. and these he cleared
at full gallon without losing the egg.

BIZ THE COSSUER

A good roads convention, to which
all county commissioners in the
state, and East Coast counties in,
particular, will be invited. is to bel
held in Jacksonville at the time OF
the automobile race meet in March,
and at that time the prospects and
plans for a good, hard-surface road
the full length of the East Coast will
be discussed This is the first def
mite step in the direction of estab-
fishing this highway and should re-
ceive the loyal support of all inter
ested in the movement.

If there is any person in Daytona
who doubts that the organization of
the new board of trade has not been
a good thing for the city, let that
person come down Beach street dur
ing the evening and note the differ
ence in the lighting arrangements,
or take a stroll through the river
front parkage any warm, pleasant af-
ternOon and note how much the new
seats are used and how Thoroughly
they are enjoyed These things are
only fOrerunners of what the new
civic organization will do in the flu
ture.
From present indications the last
week in March will be the big time
of the season in East Coast terri
tory. Not to be Outdone by Daytona
and Jacksonville in furnishing enter
tainment and attractions to visitors
at that time ST. Augustine has now
jumped into the game and is making
preparations of aviation exhibitions
to be given at the Ancient City at
the same time. With aviation at
fractions in Daytona and st. Angus
tine and automobile races at Jack
sonville there will be plenty of at
traction on the upper East Coast at
the close Of the regular season.

The observance of Washington's
eral in this city as has usually been
the case. While many of the stores
were closed for at least a part of the
day many others dc not close at all
and very few of the business places
! were decorated or displayed even a
flag, i'll fact most of the flage to be
seen were at private houses, and the
recognition Of the day was much
more evident on Ridgewood avenue
than Beach street. al least in this
respect. And spe; king OF this matte.
OF decoration recalls a recent con
versatiOn with a semi-res ident in
which the suggestion was advanced
that it would be good thing for Day
tona to greet the tourist travel with
a display of flags and bunting not
merely for one day but throughout
coupled with the attraction of daily
concerts by a good band would give
the city festive appearance that
should prove not only attractive to
the visitors but inspiring to the res
idents as we'll. This feature Of dec
GRAFTON is said to be carried out in
other resort places. 1t would add a
brightness and gaiety to the natural
charm Of DaytOna that should tend
to lengthen the stay of visitors in
the city and the cost would be com
paratively small.
