southern Florida today. This is the
southern terminus Of his cruise and he
expects to spend several days fishing and
/ playing golf on the two courses here
adjoining the Flamingo Hotel.
| The fishing grounds are twenty-five
miles away in Caeser Creek. named for
Black Caeser the pirate. who, In the
days Of old. used to operate in these
waters. Caeser's eadquarters were on
Adams Key and 1t is there the senator
will make his fishing base at a club or
ganized by a small coterie Of annual
visitors to Miami Beach. The ancient
Iron ring to which Caeser at one time
made fast his boats was stolen from the

Excited Over Visit.
Parson Jones. who may or may not
have been a preacher. ia reported by
the fisher folk as greatly excited over
the visit Of tho President-elect to his
part OF the world. and he is planning
to pay Mr.. Harding visit. No one
else is likely to disturb the isolation
of the presidential fishing party. for
Adams Key is lonely spot and few
pilots know the way to it. The
Frelinghuysen houssboat will be left
here while the fishing party is on.
but Senator Rrelinghuysen himself will
be a member of the Isaak Walton
crew.
Senator Fall and Harry NJ. Daugh-
erty. slated to be the next Attorney
General, will leave the Harding party
here. Senator Fall returning to
