■\ve hired masks and dominos and attend- 
ed the carnival ball, which surpassed in 
brilliancy and general effect anything we 
had ever witnessed. 
The spacious Casino was fairly ablaze 
with lights and gorgeous in banners, 
streamers and heraldic decorations. The 
gay throng represented characters of 
every nation under the sun, ancient and 
modern, real and fanciful. There was 
a recrudescence of the deities of ancient 
Egypt and India, a re-incarnation of 
mvthological gods and goddesses, Grecian 
heroes and demi-gods, Roman warriors 
and gladiators, knights, crusaders, dames 
and ladyes faire of high degree, fairies, 
sprites, imps and devils, while those of 
modern days were more numerously rep- 
resented by soldiers, sailors, punchinellos, 
harlequins, clowns, flower girls, milk- 
maids and peasant girls. While most of 
the characters were well-sustained and 
properly dressed, some of the fairies and 
Egyptian and Nautch dancing girls were 
so deficient in the matter of raiment that 
I doubt if Eve, in a fig leaf or two, would 
have attracted much more attention, or 
have caused any unfavorable comment. 
It was a remarkable scene, a mad, gay 
and festive rout, and it was gray dawn 
when the last of the revellers departed.

DAYS WITH THE 
FLORIDA QUAIL 
(continued from page 587) 
They had a covey of quail scattered and 
the dogs were working fine. We got up 
quail by singles and doubles and ex- 
pended nearly all the ammunition we had 
along. I think I killed more quail that 
day than I ever did in one day before. 
I came very near stepping on a coral 
snake, too, that day. These snakes are 
curiously marked with bands of red, yel- 
low and black and are said to be very 
poisonous, but I never knew of one at- 
tempting to bite anyone. One often runs 
across snakes when hunting in this coun- 
try, mostly the gopher, blacksnake and 
moccasin and once in a while a rattler. 
The moccasin is perhaps the most lazy 
of all, will hardly get out of your way 
and can scarcely be provoked into strik- 
ing. I have seen a hunter step directly 
on ene without its attempting to strike. 
Not so with the rattler, however. He is 
not so docile, and if you have a crippled 
bird flop into the palmettoes or into the 
hole of a gopher turtle it will be well to 
investigate thoroughly before reaching 
in after it. It is needless to take un- 
necessary chances. 
I HAVE said that if this country was 
made expressly for the quail hunter 
there could j>e few improvements 
wished for so far as the topography was 
concerned, but this does not apply to the 
great ridge of yellow sand which begins 
in Brevard county and extends south 
through the counties of St. Lucie, Palm 
Beach and Dale. This ridge is a pe- 
culiar formation and on it most of the 
pineapples of the east coast are grown. 
In its wild state it is thickly covered with 
scrub-oak and hickory, dotted here and 
there with clumps of spruce-pine and 
the entire growth often covered with a
