The San Antonio Herald says Austin
has no public PARK. We have half a
dCz of them fenced and uufenced.
Capitol square is practically a public
park in which the water company have
erected two beautiful fountains to
show the children how rainbows are
made. University Place is q public
park of forty acres, the pret.iest spot
in America, in the heart of the city.
But this park is unfenced. Swishtr's
park Is also unenclosed and turned
over t. cattle and swine. The grounds
at the Central railroad station slso con-
stitute public park, having nellher
buildings nor fences, and then we have
a park Of artillery to defend the treas
ury and war department aud the hid
ing place Of the iollsome Old Alcalde.

We take pleasure In calling the
attention of the public to the superior
inducements offered by the Font
Wayne and Pennsylvania Railway
Line, running east from Chicago in
connection with the Pennsylvania
railroad, with which it is operated as
one continuous line. This is the
shortest route to the East, and copse-
quently quicker time is made than by
any other. The track being ballastei
with broken stones the dust which is
so disagreeable to summer tourists is
avoided. In addition to these facts
the aboYe is the only line running
three trains daily with through
cars between Chicsgo and New
York and passengers have an OPP
portunity of viewing the unsurpassed
romantic scenery of the Allegheny
mountains. 1t is not at all surprising
that this should be the most popular
route east, from the fact thLt Mr. ]. d.
