A. P. Smith, Dear Sir: 1 had been thinking since came to Florida, I would like to tell you little about my trip. I sailed from New York March on Clyde steamship, and reached Charleston about , p. m., Sunday. The weather was very fine, except Saturday night, there was quite gale while we were off Cape Hatteras, that caused a few to lose two or three meals. The Exposition buildings are closed Sun days, so we had no opportunity to visit them. There was an Austrian man. Of-war at anchor in the harbor; also an American war ship. We staid there about six hours, then left for Jackson vile, reaching there at F, Monday noon; took the 3 o'clock train of the Plant System, arriving in Tampa, Monday evening at lO.5O. This is destined to be most beautiful place. The main streets are so broad and so nicely paved with brick,and rock taken from the bottom of creek, six miles out of the city. The weather here is very different from what it is with us. There is always a fresh breeze from the water, by which Tampa is nearly surrounded, and when the temperature here is sS degrees, we, from the North, do not feel it uncomfortably warm. l send you three Tampa papers l thought you might like to see. Land has been purchased, and quite large sum appropriated, for new govern ment building soon to be erected here. There are number of handsome resi- dences here and sometime hotels. The Tampa Bay is one of the finest in the world. The grounds are most beauti- ful.-[Mrs Mary E. Stone, SIS Jack street, Tampa, Fla.

The many changes lately transpiring in the business center of the city show that; Bridgeport is on the move. It's merchants are branching out and dis playing progressive spirit that is in- teresting. The opening of the new Meigs building to-day is a municipal occasion fraught with unusual signifi- canoe. Not only does it manifest the fine success and enormous energy of a firm which has been located in the city for fourteen years, but it means a valuable and striking ornamentation to the business portion of the city.
 The corner of Main street and Fair field avenue is the most important and prominent in the city. People coming from the depot now look up Fairfield avenue and behold building metro politan in it's proportions and archi. tectural arrangement. It gives good impression and immeditely benefits every merchant in the city. We want more of these large buildings. Some of the present wooden shanties on Main street are a disgrace to the estates which control them. They should be torn down and modern buildings erect ed in their stead.-[ Bridgeport Post, March %.
