Angling In the Surf.
Melbourne News.

The anglers i'm this vicinity have been
casting abont Of late for something TO
relieve the monotony Of lake, creek aud
river fishing and have now taken to SEA
fishing with "A will.
There ia "A heap of fun in playing n
large fish in the surf, though at times
il becomes "A question as To which IL
being played-tbe fish or the angler.
A corpulent Bostonian, well-known
for his aversion TO water, except for
boating and angling purposes, hooked a
large bass few days since. Tho fish
was successfully brought 10 the beach,
but before il was wholly safely from
the breakers the hook broke and the
fish was struggling for dear life. Then
ensued one of those laughable, side-spiit-
ting scenes which cannot adequately be
described. The Bostonian went for that
bass-the rollers came laundering on In
rapid succession, while that fat man and
the bass played leap-frog for all IL was
worth. They showed considerable pro
ficiency as acrobats,i rolling and tumb-
ling about in the secthing surf until the
fish unfortunately came down ON the
under side and was smothered. The anti
hydropath was well soaked with sen
water beside being briskiy scrubbed by
sand and shells.

to see the monster FOR the first time.
After driving the steer and cart over
the road and the old man drove up by
the side of the track few feet and
halted. Just then the whistle OF the en-
CINE was heard as il approached the
station, and the rumbling sound was
heard for the first time by the two girls.
They both jumped up as the steaming.

view. while Buck threw up his head

The old man yelled Whoa, Bucki"
while the old woman said, .'Sot still

she caught hold OF the dress OF each one:
but the engine gave another shrek and
seemed To he dashing straight ON them,
| Both girls jumped out, one on either
| sice OF the wagon, while Buck gave "A
snort and started Oft at full tilt Pap
held on To the rope and was ierked along
| mt the rate Of twenty miles am hour, hol-
lering whoa, Buck! yer dern fool, il

spilled in a terrible mixed up state with
her clothing, calling first 10 one girl and
then the other: Victoria Elizabeth, We
an Josephine Boarnergus stop there,
ther' thing can't run of the track"
But her entreaty was vain, the girls
heard her but believed their salvation
was i'm flight. and they ran about as fast
as Buck, while the old woman picked
herself up and started after Victory"
Josephine was going at lightning speed.
and approaching n fence, leaped over iG
like "A deer. but her dress caught on "a
stake and there was tearing sound,
but no stop-she went flying over the
field like deer, while her skirts flew 20
the breeze like banner of defiance.
The old woman with some help, caught
Victoria Elizabeth, while the old man ran
Buck into the corner of fence and soon
had him securely tied; but Josephine had
| "a good half mile start, when the old
man went in pursuit, saying: Gosh.
how that leetle creature can hop. I'll
halter be mighty spry 20 cotch her in

a quarter horse. The old woman and
two other parties were holding Victoria
Elizabeth when tho train moved of, but
we have not heard whether the old man
ever caught up with Josephine Boar
nergus" or not.

LUXURY ON HE Rail.
The First SouihbOund vesiIbuIs Train Starts from
Jersey

jefsef
New York Star, january II.
Commendable enterprise is shown by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company i'm
meeting the demands of wealthy tourists
who spend their winters in Florida by
supplying luxurious coaches for their
transportation from the metropolis 10
the tropics.
One of the most luxurious trains that
ever rolled away from the Pennsylvania
Depot was the initial Florida special,
which started South yesterday. The
train was made up of vestibulo cars,
fresh from the workshops, artiscally
painted in subdued tints with a mirror
like finish, and tastefully ornamented
with gold.
The diaphragm-lilse vestibules con-
Meeting the cars are n elegantly finished
| as any other part of the interior, being
carpeted 80 AZ To conceal the points of
connection. A chandelier suspended
from the center of the roof lights up the
| passageway.
The train included a dining car and
| n combination car for library and smok-
| ing, three sleepers and two parlor cars.
The dining car was ornameted with
potted plants and flowers in profusion.
All the ears have air brakes and are
| heated by steam. They are lighted by
electricity which Is generated in the car
axles. The dynamo IL connected by "A
belt, and by an ingenious system more
| than sufficient power is stored to supply
the lights while the train stops at sta
| tions.

GRACE CHURCH PARSONAGE.
A Beautiful Building Worthy of the
Church it Belongs To.

Uhrrch 1t Belongs 10.
The hurriedly written and manifestiy
imperfect description given of Grace
Church ON the occasion of its opening
January 1, should have been accompa-
MED by de scription of the parsonage,
which, however. was not then quite
ready for occupancy. Since then nearly
all has been done to fit it for the habita-
ton of the pastor and his family, and a
brief account of it's many beauties and
conveniences may not now be out of
place.
The building, like the others forming
what will henceforth he known as the
Ponce de Leon group, is of concrete,
AMI its design, by Messrs. Cowen &
Hastings, whose fame as the architects
of the group is now worldwide, Is a
marvellous combination of comfort. con-
venience and beauty.
Standing within the sacred precincts
of the grounds of Grace Church, which
was dedicated to the purposes for which
it was built with imposing ceremonies
on Sunday last, and forming. as 1T were,
an integral portion of the group of
which the church is prominent feature,
the parsonage is possessed of character
istics which entitle it to especial notice.
On entering The vestibule the eye is
Erst struck with the unique design of
the front door. with its several distinct
parts, including sunken pannels. Grecian
oval holdings and richly colored glass.
The hall is spacious room in itself
and gives access to all portions of the
lower floor, besides containing the beau
tiful winding stairway of native pine
leading to the chambers of the upper
floors, notable rs an almost perfect fac
simile of one in the principal church of
Kent, England.
On the right of the hall is the large
parlor and next to it the library. The
former is finished in imitation of cherry
with furniture to match of antique de
signs and richly upholstered. The car
pet is Persian. and the fireplace elabor-
ately ornamented with smoked and
glazed encaustic tiles tinted To match
the colors of woodwork, furniture and
carpets. The chandelier is of "oId
brass" similar to those of the Ponce de
Leon, with three very ornamental Jets.
The library, in the rear of the parlor,
opens on To broad veranda which CON
meets with the church and Sunday
school room. The finishing and furni-
ture are in imitation of rosewood and
the carpet matched in colors.
The dining room, to the left of the
hall, is finished and furnished i'm imita-
ton OF mahogany, with rich Moqueth
= carpet. The chandelier is '.old brass, '
and very beautiful and elaborate in de
sign. The mantelpiece contains heavy
French plate glass mirror.
A small passage way leads directly
from the dining-room to the kitchen ane
pantry, botk of which are marveIs o.
