LAKELAND MADE fine SHOWING
@ IN THE ASPAR|lLA PARADE

dies mounted to their places on It,
in their beautiful costumes, 1t was a
sight that any Lakeland citizen
might we'll be proud Of. The Lake
land Military Band formed in front
Of the float; the Lakeland Lodge Of
Elks, in their handsome white uni :.
forms, with purple and white para
soils, fell in line; and away marched
Lakeland, in q parade all her own.
The line passed up Florida avenue
and turned into Franklin street,
where the crowds were all lined up
awaiting the return Of the main pa =
rade. Down Franklin street the
march was cheered by the throngs,
which scrambled madly for the
strawberries and oranges constantly
being tossed out by the fair occu :
pants Of the Goat. In this way the
Lakeland parade really drew many
times the attention 1t would have
done had it gone in the parade the
regular way. i.....
Having passed out Lafayette
street and crossed the bridge, the
parade returned, intending to go
back to the Elks' Home and there
disband. At Franklin street, how
ever, the main parade was met and
thus the spectators were treated to
parade going and coming. The
float fell out, as the young ladies
could not remain longer in the In,
clement weather, but the band and
the Elks marched faithfully on un-
til, far up Franklin street, they came
to the portion Of the line Of march
originally designated for Lakeland.
Here they "butted in" to the main
procession and returned with 1t to
the Lafayette street bridge. goins
thence, still in line, to the Elks'
Home, where they disbanded, wet
and tired, but glowing with the con-
sciousness Of duty nobly done.
Notwithstanding, therefore, the
accidents and i'll luck attending the
project, the real object Of Lakeland's
participation-a good advertisement
for the city-was splendidly accom-
plished. The principal credit for
its success Is due to Secretary A. J.
Holworthy, who took time neither to
eat nor sleep, so faithfully did he
work for Lakeland's credit. He was
ably seconded by Messrs. O. M.
Eaton and Guy Toph, and possibly
one or two others.

WORLDS BIGGEST FERRY
IN OPERATION

Jacksonville, Feb. 17.-As a re-
sult of the establishment Of the d.
rect freight service via the Henry
NJ. Flagler, the largest freight ferry
the world, between Key West and
Havana, twenty-five carloads Of Gu
ban sugar are passing through
Jacksonville daily. These ship
ments of sugar are routed to various
points in the United States over the
Florida East Coast Railway. The
Henry NJ. F1agler Is the ony inter :
national ferry of its kind in the
world and it was predicted that its
establishment between the Florida
and Cuban ports would make an
epoch in international shipping.
The cars are loaded at various points
in Cuba, run to the docks, trans
ferred to the ferry, landed at Key
west and thence carried to their des-
tinations in the United States and
Canada without the necessity Of un-
loading and reloading. The estab-
lishment of such a service was the
life long dream Of the great railroad
magnate, hence the name Of the
ferry.

Wrestling Victory from apparently
inevitable defeat, after the manner
of great generals, those in charge of
Lakeland's representation in the
Gasparilla parade in Tampa yester-
day. converted q series Of untoward
events into even better results than
If everything had run smoothly and
according to the original program
In the first place. the larger Of the
two floats failed to reach Tampa, an
axle Of the wagon on which it was
being conveyed having broken, the
accident occurring about nine miles
this side Of Tampa. Every effort
was made to get the noat to Tampa
in time for the parade. but this was
found to be impossible. The smaller
float, representing Lakeland's NUM-
eipal id erests, reached the city In
good shape.
The weather was 50 unfavorable
that there was doubt a. to whether
there would be any attempt to carry
out the parade feature. Rain de-
scended moderately but constantly
all forenoon. and It looked like the
whole affair would have to be called
of. Inquiries, made at Gasparilla
headquarters brought forth no sat :
isfactory response further than that
a parade would be had, but at what
hour they were unable to state.
The weather cleareda / title shortly
after noon. and, while the Lakeland
contingent was still in doubt, the
main parade formed. As soon as
this was discovered orders were
given to hurry the Lakeland float
from the stable, where 1t was under
shelter, to the starting point. Here
another vexatious delay Of over an
hour occurred. the float getting
stuck in the deep sand around the
stable. Meanwhile the big parade
had passed up Franklin street, and
proceeded out to Ybor City. 1t looked
like Lakeland was left cut entirely.
Those less determined than the
men in charge Of the matter would
have abandoAed the project at this
juncture; but they were determined
to make the best Of unfavorable con :
ditions, and when, at length, the
float arrived. in front Of the Elks'

NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW

San Bernardino, Cal. Feb. IL
The National Orange Show for one
week opened here today, the fortieth
anniversary of the birth of the
washington naval orange. and the
city of Riverside, the pioneer citrus

invited by the exposition directors
to properly celebrate the evening at
the Orange Show and is now laying
its plans. The two naval orange

nava trees are still alive. One Of
the trees is in the garden of Frank
Miller's Mission Inn, where it was
transplanted by Theodore Roose =

other is at the head of the famous
Magnolia avenue at Riverside. The
two trees were sent by the govern
ment to l.. c. Tibbetts a Riverside
colonist in 1873. Then followed the
development of California's great
naval orchards. The history of the
orange in California dates back a
century before the two Washington
naval trees were planted, but the
original oranges had little CONNER =
cial value. The first trees were
bought by the Franciscans on their

are shown by mission records to
have been growing at the San Buena
