Nillson as star. They had littl
experience when their boat wa
J caught on a sand bar near tn
Florida Light but it wasn't very ba,
as they went into the Cardigan boa
house at Point View and waded ashor
and then telephoned for taxicah
1t was just little bit of the day
work. They had been down to tn
Mathewson private fishing club to d.
some work.
But we really have the Rationa
Editorial Association with us which
is the most important event of thu
week. They came down from For
Launderdale yesterday and were
taken Immediately to the Beach fol
bathing and were then entertained
at the Flamingo. After that they
went to the Aquarium to interview
the fishes and at eight o'clock they
Park where Pryor's Band entertain,
ed them until speech making time
when William Jennings Bryan well
coined them and told them MOI
about Miami and the Gulf stream
than they ever knew before. They
got several welcoming speeches SC
they knew we really wanted them to
come and then they went over to
Palm Ave. and enjoyed the Moon
dances. 1t was nearly full moon
and the street was powdered up for
the dancing, while rows and rows of
electric lights in the feathery branch
es of the Australian Pines made you
think of fairyland And they are
planning all kinds of entertainment
for them the few days they are to
be here before going down to Cuba.
Some of them are not going to Cuba
expect that Editor and Mrs Belknap
are on this trip but it is early in
their stay and we haven't been able
to connect up with them yet.
We were down to the Florida
Light House Saturday and you should
have seen the Boys of the Y having
their outing. There were about a
hundred and fifty of the juvenile Us
and most of them were in bathing
suits and knew exactly what use to
make Of them. We saw more fancy
diving and swimming under water
than we have seen since the last
time we saw the boys on an outing.
Sunday the new Congregational
Church at the Beach was dedicated.
1t is the Spanish mission style and
is really a very beautiful church.
Now both Cocoanut Grove and Miami
Beach have fine Congregational
churches and Miami proper is get
ting ready to build a suitable edifice
which ought to put congregational
fha anrlncioCtioo1 JaNrr,,
this way.
We are really going to have
community market as The Hill Garage
on Flag1er Street has been leased to
house it and here the farmers will
bring their produce three times
week. There will be forty stalls in
the building. This is going to be a
great improvement for now you buy
your vegetables at the curb surround
ing the City Hall and it gets hot if
not dusty before you have made the
rounds.
The Y. w. C. A. started out on a
Drive recently and they have just
closed the campaign with $500 more
than their $4,000 they started out
to get. But in common with all
towns of any size, Miami is plumb
tired Of drives
Friday is the last regular trip of
the City of Miami to HAVANA until
next Fall, as this is almost entirely |
a tourist business. But many a win |
ter visitor has gone down to Ha ana
to refresh himself and come back |
we'll satisfied with the zip but |
better satisfied with Miami.
Deeper water is still a subject of |
grave moment and deep interest in
Miami. We have just had some
government experts down and they
ave heard all there was to be said
N both sides and gone back to
Washington leaving us none the
wiser but we feel satisfied for we
NOW they are much wiser than when
hey came and that is all that
hould be necessary. A real port of
all for Miami will serve the whole
ountry. Our city engineer has COM
rehensive plans for the harbor
development which he has presented
he city. The scheme calls for the
rection of three docks and slips with
view of accommodating so ocean
Ding ships. So far, we haven't
often very far, yet we do have
ute bit of ocean going traffic
18th our regular trips to Na7sau and
Iavana.
We do have some very special
Kings to offer visitors. For instance
isn't every place where you can go
nark fishing by moonlight, yet this
being done many of our neon
ght nights. Shark fishing is some
Dorty fishing either day or night
nd catching them is only half or the
rst half Of the fun-to land them
a matter Of skill, courage and 4.
luscle.
We are still talking about the
abe and while we hope that the
able will be landed here with the
lessing of the government we have
, wait until April IL when the
use will be heard in the Supreme
curt.
Another matter which is ended for
lie season is the Polo games. There
rs been some fine polo this winter,
most of an international character,
lt April 1st is about the close of
le fashionable hotels and with them
les the polo.
We sort Of feel that we need more
