MANY ENJOYED
OUTING On THE
BAYANOBAYOUS
SANTA ROSA ISLAND, BAYViEW
AND OTHER PARKS MECCA FOR
PLEASURE SEEKERS YEsTER-
DAY AND LAST NIGHT.

With the moon-the same one they
use at Newport-shining and a cool
gulf breeze blowing, the large crowds
which last night visited Santa Rosa
island, Bayview park and various
other cool and delightful places at
Pensa cola spent a pleasant and com
Portable time, while much greater
number as usual remained in the city
throughout the afternoon and night
as the temperature continued to be
much lower than at nearby cities
and some of the noted summer resorts.
The temperature in Pensa cola yester-
DAY at a. m. was 70 and o'clock
last night So In Jacksonville at 7
o'clock last night the temperature was
IS and in Tampa at the same hour 81
The, official weather forecast for to-
day is generally fair, light to moderate
variable winds. 1t is not expected
that the high tempera lures of the last
day or so will be either exceeded or
even reached today.
Always Cool Here.
Looking for a spot where comfort
may be combined with pleasant COM
partnership, lulled by the cool gulf
breezes which always blow here in the
feeling of security and immunity from
the heat which other parts of the
country are experiencing, Pensa cola
people and the many visitors now here
find that the city has not been found
mapping and the last few days of
sweltering weather have revealed the
adequacy of municipal and personal
provision for hot weather.
There has been no delay on the part
OF Pensacola's former ard present city
officials in putting into motion the
machinery which nullifies the effect of
hot weather. The various public
squares and parks have proved bene
fetal to a great many. Excursion boat
and trolleys have been crowded with
breeze seekers. Steamers, launches and
small power boats were loaded yester-
day evening and carried large crowds
TO Santa Rosa island and other de-
hghtful places at Pensacola. The great
crowds which daily visit BayView and
other parks, Santa Rosa island and
other cool spots are animated with the
spirit of outdoor life and not solely to
escape the heat, as any part of the
city is just as cool in the summer as
the places named above. 1t is the
spirit which responds to the shine of
the stars, the healthful wind in the
pine trees, the smell of blooming
plants, the sound of the rolling surf
or the lashing of the shores of the
bayous by waves.
IN THE PLAZA.
The Plaza. with its carpet Of grass,
electric fountain, comfortable benches,
perfumed at night by night blooming
cereus and other flowers, affords COM
fort to a large number of men, women
ard children throughout the day and
until a late hour at night. The Plaza
is the beauty spot of Pensacola and it
never looked prettier than it does now.
In the midst Of blooming flower
plants, night-blooming cereus near
the southeast entrance lends it's de-
ligntful fragrance to that already per-
reating the entire park Among the
many trees, fruit and otherwise, that
g dorm this beautiful park is an English
walnut tree full of nuts.
AT BAYViEW PARK.
Bayview park. on Bayou TeXar, is
receiving its share of pa tronage from
s ummer pleasure seekers and the !
crowds that daily visit the park are
increasing. Bathing and canoeing are
among the many mean afforded visit !
ors from enjoying themselves.
