from an Hawaiian band is heard in the distance
 And I must say word about Prince Jack Heleluhe and his Hawaiian musi- clans. There are ten members of the or chestra all artists, volinists, pianists eukelelists singers-a wonderful tenor known as the "boy Caruso," Giordano Pellonari is his name and his voice IS very beautiful and highly cultivated; but to Prince Jack go the honors for he is the musician who first introduced Hawaiian music into this country-back during the days of the Panama-Pacific exposition, bringing his band of native Hawaiians with him. Prince Jack has very appealing voice, and his music
 is as lovely as the surroundings
 Mr Never has been ably assisted in
 the success of the Windsor hotel by Mr' J. E. Kavanaugh, vice president and gen eral manager of the company. MT Kay | anaugh's name is associated With the
 Windsor hotel just as Carnegies is with l libra ries and John D. Rockefellers with Standard Oil; and the Windsor wouldn't be the Windsor without MT. kavanaugh. He has all the graciousness and good fellowship of the successful host, his manner and bearing toward every one being that of the courteous |gentleman that he is. His wide acquaintance ex- itends from Maine (where he comes rom by the way) to California and from New York to Cuba, and he numbers hls friends by the number of his acquaintances. By his ability as well as by his affability he has qualified himself as an important figure in commercial and social Florida Because of the excellent taste and judgment of Mr. Meyer and MT. kava- naugh the more than S250,ooo worth or improvements which have been placed al Sif,p haC clever young men have owned and oper- ated it, have been wisely spent and no mere description with pen and paper can give any adequate idea of the beauty of this palatial hostelry.
 1 Birmingham has also contributed an- other factor in the wheel of success
 which has turned for the Windsor hotei in the person of MT. w. G. McMeeklh' lthe assistant manager. MT McMeekn numbers his friends in Birmingham in big figures having made them during his
 connection with the Southern club ana Ithe Roebuck Springs club here. MT.
 McMeekin makes the third name in the
 trllogy which has placed the Windsor hotel in the front ranks of Florida pis assets.
 You see I can't just quietly sit by and let Florida claim everything; of course while my heart inclines very much to- ward my old Florida home, still in say ing one word for Jacksonville I've got
 to but in two for Birmingham, and feel that I voice the sentiment or ths
 entire city when I say that Birmlngham
 -nay-Alabama is proud of Bop Meyer | and his associates who have achleVed d } signal success in Florida.
