SUGAR AND oocoANUrs.
A Florida Farm of Vast Proportions to
Raise These Staples.

New YORK, June 2S-A company
composed OF New York and southern
capitalists has just been organized with
a capital of 81 600, 900, for cultivating a
farm OF $112, 900 acres in Florida. This
will be the largest farm in the world,
and upon it enough could be raised to
supply the city of New York with
food. The name Of the company
is the San Sebastian Land, Improve
ment, Sugar and Investment company.
The farm lies between Indian, San Sc
bastian and st. Johns rivers. The farm
has muck soil similar to that in the
valley of the Nile. The company does
not propose to raise cereals or garden
stuff, but sugar cane and cocoanuts,
especially cocoanuts. This will be in
the nature of an experiment, as cocoa
nuts are not indigenous to Florida.

was not defeated by Abs, who, he says,
merely remained on the defensive.

Road Race.
The Tremaine-Morris foot race was
the chief topic of conversation in sport
ing circles yesterday. Tremaine claims
that his defeat was in measure due to
Morris striking him on the wind dire,t'y
after the start. A foul was claimed by
Tremaine but it was not allowed. The
friends of Tremaine also admit that
Morris is a very much speedier man
than they had anticipated.
