SOUTHERN SCENES.
The Oldest City in the United
States.-A Day Of Sightseeing
in the Land Of Flowers.
NO. 6.

At 2:30 p. m. Jan. 26, we reached st.
Augustine, that old, old city, settled 10y
the Spanish in 1865. Probably no part
of our journey had been more eagerly
anticipated than had the visit to this
historic place, nor were we in any wise
disappointed, for we found ourselves
virtually in foreign land.
The city stands on the Matanzas river,
separated from the sea by narrow
strip of land, and old Fort Marion at
once attracts the eye, its picturesque
walls and tower making a clear-cut sill
houette against the blue sky. 1t looks
down upon two distinct styles of archi-
lecture On one side of the city are the
ancient Spanish buildings, on the other
those magnificent Moorish palaces
known us the Ponce de Leon, Alcazar,
Cordova, and various other modern
hotels built by Northern capitalists at
the expense of millions of dollars
They are of yellow pressed brick with
terra Gotta trimmings and tiled roofs,
their numerous spires and 'minarets
glistening in the sunlight, their marble
floors, elegant furnishings, long veran.
dahs, and balconies opening onto beau
tiful courts, all uniting to form a pic
ture of Oriental splendor such as must
be seen to be appreciated, and which
at night is transformed by the electric
lights into a veritable scene from fairy
land.
Ia king carriages we soon alighted
before the ancient entrance of Fl. Ma.
rion and mounted the old stairway that
once resounded only To martial tread
but will never more echo to aught save
the football of the peace-loving tourist
since the fort is preserved only for its
historic associations. From its tower
we gained a lovely view of the city and
also watched an exciting yacht race on
the river near by. It's thick walls are
made of the white coquina and are in
wonderful state of preservation con.
sidering that Times insatiate tooth
has been gnawing at them for more
than three centuries.
Re-entering the carriages, we passed
a small stone building of great interest
as being the Oldest house i'm America
also the high stone pillars of the old
city gate, another reminder of those by.
gone days when strong stone wall
might withstand a prOtracted siege
from the rude, ineffective weapons oil
warfare. We drove through quaint old
streets between rows of Spanish adobe
houses, whose overhanging balconies
nearly met above our heads. None OF
these highways are more than forty
feet in width, and Treasury street is
only eight. We passed the old slave
mart In the Plaza, an open pavilion
with roof supported by long rows oil
pillars, and gazed at the ancient cathe
dral, wishing we might listen to its sill
very chime of bells sent across the wa
tiers by Spanish king long since dead
and turned to clay. Driving SLOWLY
through the main business streets, occa
sionally alighting To look over the at
tractive wares displayed i'm the bazars
our party gathered many pretty sou
venir of this city whose name perpetu

ing. The banquet was fully in keeping
with the decorations, one of its pleas
ATTEST features being the large number
of Lakeland ladies and gentlemen who
partook of it with us and proved such
charming companions. The mayors
speech of welcome was responded to
by Messrs. Powers and Hampton of our
party, after which we listened TO IA
speech from l.. j, j Nieuwenkamp, eX-
consul to the Netherlands, in which
he attested the satisfaction of all for
eign residents with their Florida homes,
and spoke of the great need of more
gardeners, florists, and dairy-farmers.
Judging from the few lean, discour-
aged looking specimens of the bo-
vine genus that we saw throughout our
Southern journey, we could readily APP
preciate the need of the latter; so,
promising our new friends that we'd
advertise the matter as widely as posi-
BILE, we babe them adieu, placing red
letter in our notebooks to mark the
Lakeland entertainment among the
pleasantest episodes of our pleasant
journey.

THE BICYCLE RACE.

The bowlers of the wheeling contingent
of the Jersey City Athletic Club closed
the Wheelmen's League series last nighe
at their alleys. 1t was one of the ivellest
contests of the season and the closest ever
bowled in match game on the alleys.
The rival team represented the Riverside
Wheelmen. The visitors were at their
finest and moved at stiff pace, for they
found strikes rapidly. The Athletes,
wilhelm poor luck in taking down the
pins with the first ball, bowled skillfully
and gathered many spares. Scudder was
in remarkable form. He secured ten
spares. James Newkirk, who is bowling
as well as the best in the club, divided the
honors with Scudder in doing the WORK
that gave their team the victory. New
kirk had two bad splits. but he rolled up
total only nine below the second hun
dred mark. 1t will surprise many II he Is
not with the champion ten men next sea-
son. Beiderhase and Shone had hlgn
scores and Starrett also bowled well.
They had to bowl strong to win, as the
margin was only seven pins. Three OF
the Riversides took kindly to the alleys
and plucked over one hundred and seven
ty. 1t was the last game of the season
for the Wheelmen. After the game they
had lively reunion and feast. Ihe
