WINTER PARK. ! Fromour Regular Correspomlent. The many friends of Mr. L. A. Chase arc glad to see him with us once more and to shake his hand. He is wetland hearty. Mr. Stewart, of Washington, 1). C, is stopping at the Seminole. ■ Quite a large party of the relatives of the late Samuel J. Tilden are at the Seminole. The friends of Mr. F. W. Lyman are glad to see him out after a severe illness. A large meeting of the citizens of Winter Park was held at the office of The Winter Park Co., last Thursday evening for the purpose of organizing an Improvement Assocation. The report of the committee appointed a week before, o( which Mrs. Prof. Ford was chairman, advocating a plan similar to the Stockbridge, Mass. '\Laurel Hill Association,'" was adopted, so that our constitution is about the same as governs that wonderfully successful society. Dr. X. Harrows acted as chairman and >). S. Capen secretary. A membership roll was opened and signed by about twenty annual and two life members and money to the amount of about $75 was subscribed. The objects of this association are to plant trees, keep side walks iu repair, fix up parks,, 'M encourage sociability among ^1 citizens. S The question of incorporation oi the town of Winter Park will be decided on Tuesday afternoon, of which I will probably send you a special. I hope that we will bt able to establish a municipal government and have a good roll ot substantial citizens to make and administer the laws. Work on the canal, h^fweei/ Lakes Osceola ami Virginia is stiff*. in progress. Q^ Mr. F. 1>. Knowles continues to] improve and is once more seen on I the verandahs of the Seminole, which is most gratifying to his hosts of friends. Mr. F. B. Knowles and his son, accompanied by his wile, Mrs. llutchins and two children and quite a large party of Massachusetts people, arrived last week and are at the Seminole. I was present atone of the pleasant "Saturday nights'' at the, Seminole last week. They arc very enjoyable. Bishop Whipple preached at "All Saints1' Church Sunday. A^ large congregation was present to listen to a splendid discourse. The children will give a "Milk Maids' Carnival".at the Seminole next Friday nigh'* for the purpose of buying a piano for the Chapel at Rollins College. The recital given by Mrs. Dif-) fenderfer at Rollins College was a fine affair, and is spoken of by all parties present as being an artistic success. Dr. Brecht is having fine success in dentistery. • Col. and Mrs. Fairbanks, of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, are at the Seminole. Mr. Edward Chapman, brother of Mr. Chapman, who with Mr. Chase, founded Winter Park, is at the Seminole accompanied by his wife. WINTER PARK. An extended description of the | general feature of Winter Park having appeai in this paper somewhat * a year ago, it is deemed b ous to repeat in full what w. nen said. Still, a! ] few of the more prominent points may not be amiss, although they may encroach upon ground already covered. Winter Park is located upon a portion of the broad plateau, or water shed, that runs lengthwise for a long distance through the centre of South Florida, which fact insures perfect drainage, combined with an elevated and healthful location. Within its limits, or near by, are nine beautiful lakes of running water, 40 feet deep, with hard, sandy bottoms and solid shores sloping down from a height of from twenty to forty feet; these are all connected with each other by swiftly flowing brooks, and with the St. Johns river fifteen miles away. Ten miles of lake frontage, and all within one and a half miles of the depot, is no ordinary attraction, reached as it may be, in any direction through the majestic pines, so free from underbrush that teams may be driven at will toward any point of the compass, and over high rolling lands that : remind the tourist of the hills and I valleys of his native haunts. All these and many other attractions unite to make this a truly elysian spot, the fame of which is widely known beyond our borders. Among some of the main features of the place, which has just been incorporated, are its broad avenues, its ably conducted public schools, a well endowed college i with preparatory, normal and industrial departments, a handsome church, a fine public park and a new and magnificent hotel of 200 rooms, together with a large num- ' ber of charming residences. These are surely important advantages, yet they are not one half that might be enumerated. But our design at present is to treat more of individuals than of places; and with this end in view, we now direct the attention of the reader to the ORIFFITII RROS. Directly west of the railroad station may be found the well equipped restaurant of the Griffith Bros. It is a first-class establishment of the kind kept in the most tasteful manner—that's a firm which has the merit of being true. Meals are supplied at all hours of the day, and very neatly furnished rooms are provided for those who desire lodging. Such a restaurant as this in Sanford would be "all the go." Next to the restaurant the Hum ter Bros, have just completed •?[ large two story building, the low story of which is for rent, as . general merchandise store, aiu has been specially arranged witl reference to that use ; it is admirably adapted to the purpose intend ed. In the second story is a large public hall. Here, also, is "n\tA a number of commodious lodgip rooms, fitted up in a very n manner; these are open to the ception of guests, who will lim'f everything as comfortable as can be reasonably desired. R. R. THAYER. Winter Park is fortunate iu having such an enterprising builder and contractor as Mr. Thayer. His well built two story shop, which looks on the interior more like a handsome store structure, is a conspicuous object from the railroad depot. Mr. T. has just finished the new residence of C. H. Lord, and built an addition to that of G. W. Godfrey. He gives estimates on all classes of work, and m kes repairirg an especial feature of his business. The qualifieal ions that have rendered him successful hitherto, are industry and skill, and they-guarantee him still greater prosperity in the future. THE CONOREG ATIONALISTS find in Rev. E. S. Hooker a zeal ous and unremitting worker What he has effected can be justly measured by the great results attained. To say nothing of previous efforts, a recent one, at a single stroke of the oars, raised $1,200 which relieved the parsonage from the balance of its indebtedness, repainted the building, and, at the same time, the church edifit-e— thus killing three birds with one, stone—a rare feat in Florida. The church has just had a steeple 40 feet in height added to its bellfry tower. The parsonage has a garde i to its rear, and on its sides and front a well kept lawn, where vai ions plants and trees"- display a thrifty growth, thus proving that judicious, persistent culture will pro duce results as desirable in the vegetable kingdom as they do in the domain of human thought and action.
