A STRETCH OF OCEAN BEACH AT ST. AUGUSTINE
SOUTH BEACH - DELIGHTFUL IN SUMMER
Abounding in attractions St. Augustine boasts of additional ad- vantages that few cities enjoy. Two magnificent beaches, divided by the inlet to the harbor, are located opposite the city. North Beach is opposite the northern end of the city and South Beach opposite the south end, across the bay. South Beach is reached by trolley, an electric car line operating over the bridge to the island and ex- tending five miles southward on the island. The trolley line passes through a beautiful stretch of country and lands passengers at the delightful resort known as South Beach. A great, wide beach, sloping gently to the crested breakers of the broad Atlantic meets the vision at this point. Southward this beach stretches for fifteen miles, to the end of the island, maintaining a width of 300 feet as hard and smooth as an asphalt pavement. Wheels of vehicles make no dent in this ocean-packed floor of sand. Only the faintest trace is marked, and here automobiling, driving and bicycling are enjoyed at their best. This place offers much more, however, than rolling over the smooth stretch of sand. In the summer months it is a pleasure resort that is highly appreciated. The surf bathing is not surpassed anywhere on earth and the facilities for indulging in this healthful recreation are provided. Bathing suits and dressing rooms form part of the equipment of the pavilion. Many residents have their summer cottages on the beach, and in time the whole shore line will be covered with others. The surf and lagoons in the vicinity of South Beach fairly teem with fish, and this sport is added to the other pleasures. Far preferable to, more convenient and less ex- pensive than any of the other coast resorts of the Atlantic, South Beach should attract the people of the interior towns in Southern States. Here they can build their little cottages for a very modest sum and renew their health, curtailing expenses if they so desire. The ocean will supply much of their food, if they are pleased to take foll from old Neptune. It is not dull or lonely at this resort, for a
-

splendid pavilion in the midst of the colony is the scene of entertain- ments throughout the year, but more especially in the summer when the young people of the city repair there to enjoy the music and dancing. A half-hourly service on the trolley line between the beach and the city renders it most convenient to parties residing in the city or on the beach.
If you live in an interior city or town of the South, make your arrangements to spend next summer at South Beach and you will find it the most delightful resort on the coast.

MAGNIFICENT HOME OF THE Y. M. C. A. (RAILROAD BRANCH) AT ST. AUGUSTINE
The association at this point was organized and the new build- ing erected and equipped through the generosity of Mr. Henry M. Flagler for the benefit of employees of the Florida East Coast Sys- tem and allied interests. Mr. Flagler had the co-operation of Mr. 11. (). Williams, International secretary, and Mr. J. V. Read, State secretary for Georgia and Florida. The building, which cost about $$5,000, was opened on June 1st. 1907. Since that time the mem- bership has grown to three hundred, the average daily attendance being over two hundred. A complete equipment has been provided, including lunch and dining rooms, social room, reading room, bowl- ing alley, gymnasium, bath rooms, swimming pool and lavatory. There is also a large assembly hall with class rooms. The dormitory contains twenty-six rooms which are all rented, the revenue assist
ing in the support of the work. The association is under the man- agement of a committee of nine men: Chairman, J. D. Rahner, as- sistant general passenger agent of the Florida East Coast Railway : Vice-Chairman, W. 11. McDonald, trainmaster of the F. E. C. Ry. : Recording Secretary, Wright Shaw, secretary to the vice-president of the F. E. C. Ry. ; Treasurer, Harry L.

SAINT AUGUSTINE
Long recognized as the foremost tourist resort invites consideration to its claims as a perma- nent home. While it provides accommodation and attractions for people of wealth, as a home for people of moderate means it is exceptionally attractive.
The expense for fuel, apparel, food and conveyance is far less than at the North. The food supplies are as good and as cheap as in Northern cities. Water, ice, gas and electricity are furnished at reasonable prices. The schools are good; there are churches of every denomination; the physicians are educated and experienced. Its society is cultivated and liberal in recognition of the well bred without reference to wealth. Through trains to the North and Northwest make St. Augustine accessible. Prices of residence lots are low, from $500 to $1,000 being a fair average; within easy reach of the large hotels and Postoffice. Taxes are low, and titles good. St. Augustine is a summer as well as winter resort. The Atlantic Ocean is in sight, and its waters make the summer climate enjoyable. Here is found the happy medium, neither too far North or South, giving life in the open air the year through; in summer free from oppressive heat, in winter free from trying cold. Yachting is an all the year recreation, while surf bathing may be indulged in even in mid- winter. Elderly people prolong life by making St. Augustine their permanent home; to the young no place is more agreeable. Persons of limited means can find board at St. Augustine at reasonable rates.

PONCE DE LEON DAY. 1907-IMPOSING CEREMONY IN THE QUADRANGLE OF THE OLD FORT BY CATHOLIC PRIESTS ( BLESSING THE LAND )
Ponce de Leon Week
Keen attention to the pleasure of the winter visitors is one of the mottoes of the Ancient City and to that end the historical and spectacular entertainment, the landing of Ponce de Leon, has been decided upon as an annual affair. Last winter this city scored a magnificent success in presenting this beautiful spectacle, following the original as closely as the pages of history could be copied. Three clays were devoted to Ponce de Leon week. The first witnessed the landing of Ponce de Leon, also numerous minor attractions. The second day the arrival of Menendez was depicted and the third day the spectacle of the United States taking possession of the city was the feature. The city was crowded with visitors, for the unique character of the entertainment was sufficient in itself to draw people from distant points. The magnitude of the celebration was a revela- tion to the visitors and their delight was unbounded. They were unstinted in their praises and expressed their intention of being present at the next. This year the leading events will be repeated and the program will be more elaborate. Ponce de Leon week will be observed on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, April 1, 2, 3, this year and at this season the weather is perfect. The tem- perature is usually delightful, being a happy medium between spring and early summer. It is impossible in a brief sketch to do justice to an entertainment of such magnitude, but a faint conception may be obtained by picturing this quaint old city with all of its natural charms thronged with the various occupants of the land. Indians, Spanish nobles, English soldiers, French chevaliers, the Twentieth
century warriors from navy and army and the city itself fairly smothered in decorations and brilliantly illuminated at night. Pic- ture the beautiful bay glistening in the sunlight and the picturesque old caravel with Ponce de Leon, his knights, soldiers and priests aboard gliding over the water. Follow them in imagination to the shore where the awe-stricken Indians are gathered to extend a welcome. Briefly follow Menendez on the second day when he seizes the Indian village, capturing the native savages and when with his magnificent retinue his triumphant march is halted by the grim old chief who demands the release of the captives and backs up his demand with a force that the Spanish conqueror re- spects as the Indians dash from the cover of the forest to give battle. Turn to the third day when the beautiful and touching ceremony of the entrance and exit of the various flags is accompanied by the rendition of the national hymns of each country in turn, while the brilliant uniforms of every age add color to the scene. Imagine the thrill that surges through the crowd when the stars and stripes float from the lofty pinnacle to remain forever.
Nothing cheap or tawdry enters into this celebration. No side shows, itinerant performers or fakes of any kind are admitted into the city while this celebration is in progress. A proper respect and reverence is accorded the reproduction of historical events and the high standard is maintained.
Thousands will be in St. Augustine for Ponce de Leon week and the reader should, if possible, be included in the number.
