One of the Most Rapidly Growing Resorts on the Mexican Gulf Coast.
Waveland just beyond Bay St. Louis is one continuous ■stretch of cottages, handsome summer residences and boarding places.
They sit back in groves of oak and pine and magnolia and line tlie long, smooth, white shell road, which stretches along the high bluffs, and are asylums of rest, comfort and pleasure to the city toilers. The ozone of the pine and the ozone of the sea purify and give rare balm and vigor to the air, making a perfect health resort.
In the waters of the Sound the bathing is safe and pleasant, and those desiring more vigorous sport may sail out to the further sides of Horn, Ship and Cat islands and there tumble in the big surf that rolls in from the broad Mexican ■Gulf, while yachting is one of the chief amusements and all the summer long the clubs from New Orleans to Mobile hold regattas and race their fleet craft for handsome trophies.
Every facility is afforded by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for reaching these pleasant resorts, and sixteen trains, including the excursions, run daily to and from New Orleans, with superb dining and chair cars and cool cane-seated, screened coaches, especially designed for the Southern coast country.
From Waveland into the city the train runs over the marshes and past innumerable fishing and hunting camps.

BROWN’S VINEYARD is one of the most popular, as well as one of the most famous resorts along the Gulf coast. It was established in 1872. and is conducted by Mr. Albert C. Brown. From Bay St. Louis or Waveland it is a delightful ride along tlie bay shore and through the fresh pines out to the vineyard. Mr. Brown is prepared at all times to furnish conveyances and tallyhos to accommodate any size crowd. Light lunches and dinners are served. These meals are noted, because of the superior cooking; in fact, they are the old fashion country meals that we all long for. They are served in the cool, clean dining rooms that are swept by the fresh breezes. At Brown’s Vineyards, the sweet and dry Scupper-nong Wines are made, and wines four, six and eight years old are always available. These wines are non-intoxicating, and contain no spiritual liquids. It is quite the thing for parties to make the trip to Brown’s Vineyard during their stay at the Bay or Waveland, and the pleasure of this trip causes subsequent visits to this famous old resort. Before going out to Brown’s Vineyard it is well to telephone the proprietor, Mr. A. C. Brown, particularly should you desire meals. At all the meals, the celebrated wines that are made at the vineyard are served to guests. A new wine cellar has just been constructed, and the wine presses renovated and improved. The vineyards extend over an immense area.
