WHAT 1T MEANT TO MIAMI.

In a signed article IN yesterday morn
ing's Herald, Robert f. Powers, editor
of Power Boating, a leading magazine
devoted to the subject of power boats,
stated that the events of week before
last on Biscayne Bay, established the
pre-eminence of Miami as a midwinter
regatta city, where boat men from all
parts of the world may gather to test
out their racing craft.
The Herald was well aware that the
men who took part in the racing events,
were loud in their praises of the con-
ditions under which power boat races
might be held here and in their appre-
citation of the course laid out for the
trials of speed, but it desired an author
itative statement from one who knows
the conditions under which these races
are held in other parts of the country
and wanted that expression of opinion
in such shape that it could lay it before
Herald readers as coming directly from
one who is recognized as an authority
in this particular form of amusement.
Mr.. Powers states that Miami may
become the Newport of the South, by
reason of the fact that it has uneXcel-
led conditions of climate and water that
make boat racing particularly enjoyable
and effective. The fact that Miami can
furnish an ideal course, will attract
the attention of thousands of people
who enjoy that sport, who will come
for much longer stay, than that en-
joyed by the average tourist, and very
many of whom, attracted by the delight
full conditions of climate, scenery and
proximity to enjoyable spots for recre
alton, will build winter homes. This is
what will make Miami the Newport of
the South.
Those who have been to Newport
r. l., and know what a center it is for
all manner of gatherings where the
wealth of the country is brought to
gether for delightful social events viii
realize what it would mean to this city
if the same number of wealthy people
could be induced to do here what the,
have done in the way of erecting SPLEEN
did residences at Newport. Such a
winter colony would increase the bust.
ness of Miami enormously, besides
making the city one of the most at
tractive places on the round globe
