All About Havana — (Continued from page 2.) now, especially Sundays. The last I Sunday we were in Havana we went down to Central Park and the Male- ■ con to see the sight. It was the battle of tine flowers. There were floats and streams of carriages gorgeously decorated with flowers, confetti and paper serpentine were thrown until the street was a foot deep with the debris. In the evening tco, there were thousands walking and throwing confetti. The parks and Prado and Malecon a sea of people bands playing, carriages in line, men and boys dressed like a hallow’een party, a city gone crazy. We left on Monday afternoon and Wednesday the floats from the carnival at New Orleans were to be in Havana, but we have seen so much we did not care to stay for it. We come by steamer across the Gulf of Mexico to Knights Key. We have been fearful we might be on the gulf during the equinoctial, but in our two weeks travel on it, it has been as quiet as a mill pond. Therq has been no equinoctial storm. We left Havana four p. m. Monday and steamed slowly and reached Knights Key about six the next morning, where is the present terminus of the Key West Extension of the Florida East Coast railway. There is a description of this wonderful railroad in the January number of Everybodys Magazine. Knights Key is 112 miles south cf Miami, Florida. It is really going to sea by train and Knights Key is a railroad station in the ocean. There remains forty-two miles yet to be built to reach Key West. The road runs from key to key (or island) and Is a wonderful road, as I have said. There are four long concrete viaducts altogether nearly 6 miles long, built 31 feet above the ocean. The one from Long Key to Couch Key. 10,500 feet long; across Knights Key channel 7,300 feet; across Moser Key channel 7,800 feet, and across Bahia Honda crannel 4,950 feet. The spans are each 50 feet, resting on piers driven in the solid rock, and strengthened with piles. Then there are 60 miles of rock embankment through the waters besides these handsome concrete viaducts, and the railroad across the keys. There A a lot of other keys In plain sight all with trees and shrubs and grass set in these southern seas, whose waters carry every shade of the opal, turquoise and aquamarine. The islands are bordered with the tall, graceful palm of the cocoanut tree. In building this road through the ocean from island to island, tides, currents, winds and all sorts of things had to be reckoned with. It had to be built to withstand the fury of the storms, and an enormous amount of dredging had to be done to remove the apparently bottomless amount of sea mud to get to the solid coral rock replacing it with crushed rock, sand and cement. It is a very beautiful trip over this road and I am very glad we have been over it. The first train ran over this road February 5, 1908. At Knights Key, after leaving the steamer and boarding the train, we had to go through the customs, a very unpleasant duty. After some hours' delay here we were once more moving and reached Miami, Fla., about three p. m. We stopped a few days at Miami, on Biscayne Bay, and went on to Palm Beach, which I greatly prefer tr \ Miami. Both places are resort towns, but to me Palm Beach is the more interesting. The hotel. The Royal Ponciana,’ is the largest hotel in the world. The dining room covers two-thirds of an acre, and seats over 1,600. If the wings jt is said were I stretched out. they would cover seven New York City blocks. There are nearly 1.100 guest rooms and 450 private baths. It is furnished throughout "In ivory and green, and is very beautiful, spacious and' luxurious. The grounds are very beautiful—a great park. From*there we came to Daytona. where we have been a week. It is connected with Seabreeze by three bridges a half mile long over the ocean, and we cross over there for the ocean bathlug. Daytona is inland about a mile and is warmer in the winter (han Seabreeze. The surf bathing over Seabreeze. The snrf beach is about 400 feet wide and thirty miles long, and as hard and smooth as a floor, of hard white sand. This is where the great auto races are held in the winter on the Ormond-Daytona beach. We drove up to Ormond the other day along the beach road, and returned fh.rough the woods along the Halifax river. One day we expect to drive to New Smyrna, if we do not leave tomorrow. We will leave here the 6th at latest for St. Augustine. There is much I might tell about these Florida resort towns, but I think you know about them. Elizabeth Studabaker Morrison.
