Let’s see—some!hing said about a booklet to advertise Lakeland, abcut siXx months ago, wasn't there? Ard, again, about five months ago. Then, about three months ago. Then the project just naturally died, although any smooth manipulator—provided he or she did not live here—could at any time easily have separated our people from sufficient coin to print all the booklets necessary. The city of Orlando has just ordered 25,000 handsome booklets, which will go iar toward filling the town up with vis- iters and investors next season. Looks like our people are too busy to do anything of this kind, and that it will be up to us to try to get out something to advertise our many at- tractions.

The Lakeland Citizens' band made a statement a few weeks back in an issue of this paper that it would be| almost impossible to give band con- certs in the park until some arrange- rients were made about a bandstand. Giving as their reason that the lights were so arranged that it was hard for them to read their music. Since that time a couple of gentlemen went among the business men of the town and got up a subscription which will give the band a good financial back- ing. The band will receive from this subscription $4% per momnth. The agreement is as follows: “The undersigned citizens of Lake- iand, Fla., hereby agree to pay the LAND, FLA, MAY 8, 1912, SPORTING GOSSIP.
