MIAMI
LOCATION. Miami is located 366 miles south of Jack- sonville on Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, at the mouth of the Miami River, and is the most southern city on the main- land of the United States. A city where you will find in abund- ance rare and beautiful palms, shrubs, trees and flowers known only to the tropical zone.
POPULATION. This directory gives Miami a popula- tion of 31,713 and during the winter months twice this num- ber of people are within its borders. It is estimated that 150,- 000 tourists visit the city annually.
CLIMATE. Possessed of one of the finest climates in all the world, this city of palms and sunshine offers a haven of rest to the visitor who seeks freedom from noise and shattered nerves are like magic restored to normal conditions.
HOTEL LIFE. The city boasts of many excellent hotels that cater to the visitor demanding the delicacies of the season, and the prices are no higher than exacted in other cities for the same accommodations.
RESTAURANTS. The city prides itself on a large num- . ber of restaurants and cafeterias, also numerous tea rooms where dainty foods to tempt the most jaded appetite are served amidst restful surroundings.
MUSIC. In addition to the many musicals, moving pic- ture shows, vaudeville, lectures and other entertainments, the famous band of Arthur Pryor gives two concerts every week day and one on Sunday afternoon in the Royal Palm Park.
OUTDOOR SPORTS. Of outdoor sports there is no end. Tennis, golf, canoeing, swimming, motoring, fishing, baseball, hunting, aeroplaning or even the humble game of quoits furnishes something for every age and taste.
GOLF. The Miami Beach Golf course, a strip of golfing country set between ocean and bay, with shores just a mile apart where the air is always balmy and refreshing, offers the unique privilege of enjoying the royal and ancient sport whilst the North is in the throes of blinding snow storms. The course measures 6,087 yards and contains 150 acres, a panorama as picturesque as you would want to see. There is also a nine-

hole course nearer the city controlled by the Florida East Coast Hotel Company.
TENNIS. Several of the city parks are provided with free courts which are always kept in excellent condition, and some of the hotels also provide courts for their guests.
SWIMMING. In this tropical climate surf and pool bath- ing is indulged in every day in the year. There are three casinos with bath houses at Miami Beach and clean tempting pools of salt water that offer an opportunity for swimming and diving. The water in these pools is constantly changing and of varying depths. Life guards and swimming instructors are in attendance.
MOTORING. Miami is the terminus of several famous national highways and motoring is a joy to those who visit Dade County in their own machines. Over six hundred miles of rock surfaced oil coated roads radiate in all directions and a ride through citrus groves, winter vegetable gardens and trop- ical jungles offers a wonderful change from the highways of the North.
MOTOR BOATING. On beautiful Biscayne Bay or along the numerous Keys, offers a sport that appeals to many of those who are fortunate owners of water craft and good boats may be chartered at the wharves at reasonable prices.
FISHING. Wonderful tales are told by those who are devotees of this the "King of Sports" so called by many. The Miami Anglers' Club, with headquarters in the Hotel Urmey building, welcomes all who are interested in fishing and, as over 600 varieties of fish abound in the waters adjacent to Miami, splendid catches are reported daily and prizes are offered that are well worth striving to win.
AEROPLANING. The United States Naval Air Station, the United States Marine Corps and the United States Aerial Gunnery School are located near Miami and numerous ma- chines of all types and sizes are to be seen in the air at almost every hour in the day.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Miami is the center of an agricultural empire. Dade County, already known as the "Winter Garden of America," is steadily taking advantage of the vast area of rich muck lands in the Everglades, and every year a larger acreage is being planted and harvested while the North is ice and snow bound. Now that the drainage of the Everglades is assured, particular attention is being devoted to stock ranches, both for dairy and beef cattle. Angora goats and hogs thrive on this reclaimed land, and sheep also are claiming the attention of many.

DEEP WATER. The completion of the Government Cut and the Municipal Ship Channel across Biscayne Bay to the Municipal Pier, wharves and turning basin will allow the big ocean liners to make Miami a port of call and will, no doubt, bring to this city cheaper freight and passenger rates and assist in the general upbuilding of the entire community.
CITY IMPROVEMENTS. The city is accorded high rank in financial and banking circles and large sums are being spent on public improvements that places Miami on the same plane with cities many times her size.
CHURCHES. Almost every denomination and creed are represented in Miami churches and the church buildings are both costly and commodious.
SCHOOLS. The schools are the particular pride of every citizen of the city and county. The buildings are all of fireproof construction and built with particular attention to light and air. The children of our visitors are admitted free to both Grade and High Schools. In addition to the Public Schools there is also a Parochial School, several Business Colleges and a number of select private schools.
