HAVANA, Dec. 11.-Christmas Day,
a particularly festive celebration in
Latin American countries, will mark
the opening of the Casino Nacional
and the race track in Havana, as the
winter season gives every indication of

months of December, January and
February.
With Havanas cabarets and night
clubs at the height Of their seasonal
brightness. and La Playa Mariana
riotous with color and smartness. many
visitors find the capital satisfying in
itself. But the islands facilities for
recreation are varied.
Cuba has stretches of fine beaches,
and at Varadero there are miles of

Besides bathing, one can enjoy fish,

Bermuda's Season

season in Bermuda-sunny va

. number Of the luxurious hotels, re-
sorts within themselves, reopen.
Bermuda is foreign country with
different customs, different currency,
different climate and an atmosphere
different from that of any American
metropolis.
Bermuda's charm Is quickly recog-
nized-the trafiic tangle on Front
street Of two victorias, . surrey and
bicycle, with . sprinkling Of col
ored boys and dog; the toy railway
that encircles the tland-its absurd
stations scattered here and there
along the route: the deep groves of
Bermuda cedars, and the quaint coral
stone houses with their cleaning
white roofs, outside chimneys, "wel-
coming arms" steps and gay oleander
hedges.
A favorite winter and summer re-
sort for Canadians and Americans,
the island offers many diversions.
Golfers md . wide choice OF courses,
eight altogether, two Of them acknowl-
edged to be among the best SEMI
tropical courses In the world. As for
tennis, there are grass, concrete and
entoutcas courts for year-around play,
For pedestrians. horseback riders
and cyclists, Bermuda roads have a
special appeal. Made Of white coral
stone, they wind along the shore line,
or cut through hills to show visitors
an astonishing range Of scenery.
Typically English, the road builders
avoided straight stretches, 80 that
there are not half dozen places on
the island where one can see 500 yards
down the road.
Bermuda waters prove leading At
traction. There are many beaches,
small and large, where swimming Is
unsurpassed. There are opportunities
for sailing that no other place affords.
And when Bermuda moonlight turns
the water to shining silver, it is
heavenly to lie on the deck of a yacht,
hear the breeze in the sails and watch
the stars race past.
During the winter season there are
weekly yacht races in Hamilton Har-
Dor. eliminating in the international
yacht races in April and the ocean
yacht race from New London to Ber-
muda in June every other year.
All the larger hotels have excellent
dance floors and orchestras, with
dancing every night.
There is plenty to do and see-but
to know Bermuda and absorb its at
mosphere it is necessary to relax and
do things in a leisurely fashion.

States outstanding attraction. Since
this city was founded in 1865 it has
been under five flags. It's ancient
structures. old Fort Marion, the quaint
city gates and the oldest house on
st. Francis street are now being
restored.
The $50,000,00o John and Mable
Ringing Art Museum at Sarasota is
now State property. The one-time
circus owner willed the handsome
building and the worlds largest pri-
vate collection Of Rubens' works to
Florida.
This city also has the winter train
ing quarters Of Ringing Bros and
Barnum Bailey Circus, the grounds
being open to visitors until the Big
Top gets ready for the road in April.
WHEN you tire OF sports and festi-
walls, Florida has other amuse-
ments. At Miami you may pass an
afternoon at the Pan-American sea-
plane base watching. with hundreds
OF others. for arrival of the giant
South American Clipper ships; at
Palm Beach thousands each year
visit ocean piers to watch huge f,sh
swim between pilings; at ORLANDO
feeding ducks and gulls on Lake
Eola is a diversion for scores; and
band lovers fill ST. Petersburg's CEN
trail park each afternoon for band
concerts.
But all Florida visitors are not sun
Worshipers. Many vacationist only
counts the hours after dark. For
them is the Nations swankiest
gambling house, roadhouses, supper
clubs and nightly dog races at a
score of tracks throughout the resort
belt. Play and concert lovers will not
be lost either. for the State each year
attracts artists on tour and travelling
companies presenting Broadway hits.
Not to be overlooked are celebrities.
Just like ordinary folk those whose
names are news also hunt the sun.
Miami's guest list reads like Who's

Today the Bulldogs played Dap,ey'
at League Park. It was doupt1ul as
to who would hurl the pill down TO
the Bulldogs foe. And just now the
game came out was also ooupllui
when I wrote this article. This is the
first time that the Bulldogs have play
ed Dabney this year but we hope that
the final decision was in favor OF
Coach Miller's squad.
Once somebody asked me did L ever
see red and what it was, we'll L al
ways thought that it was figure or
speech. But now I know that there is
such thing, for never saw so many
red-capped ball players in all my life,
it looked like the whole Zeb Vance
school was on the ball team, and they
all had that red cap. Well this didn't
upset the Bulldogs at all, for they
went right out on that field ana
fought like they have never fought be-
fore. Harris went out to the mound
and pitched a two hit game, the first
hit was in the fourth, and the other
in the seventh. The outstanding play
er was Edwards who put five men out
unassisted, and six with some assist
ance.
