TAMPA, FLA. March u.


EDITOR GRAPHIC:-I am at this
time at the above named place, which
place is on Tampa Bay and the
Gulf coast. 1t is a place with many
fine buildings, and yet many which
are odd and old style. The most
extensive and magnificent building
| have ever seen is the Tampa
Bay Hotel. 1t is said to be the
largest and finest in the United
States, if not the world. 1t was
built and is owned by the Plant
Railway and Steamship System. l
did not attempt to visit the interi-
or of this building, neither would
| have been permitted except on
the first floor; but | did walk over
the grounds and around the build
ing, and went though few of the
rooms and witnessed the attrac
tions, floral and otherwise. I
think it would take about week
to visit the different apartments in
the main building and the other
buildings appertaining to it. The
electric plant building in itself is a
large one. 1t has five dynamos
and three engines. Their ware
rooms reminded me of wholesale
grocery house. Passenger and
freight cars are backed up to the
building to unload. 1t would oc
cupy your whole paper to give an
adequate description of the estab-
lishment and its appurtenances.
When in the Office | asked of the
clerk the rates per day. He re-
piled, ''five to twenty-five dollars
/: is needless to say that l did not
pi5 up at that hotel.
There are pleasure boats here of
various sizes; some propelled by
steam power, and some by electri-
ty, real beauties.
The city has water-works, elec-
tric cars and electric lights.
l should like to, and may, visit
st. Augustine, which, according to
school geography, is the oldest
city in the United States.
