likely to have the most jnolltable cnr
since 1ST,!. The new selllnK system has
on the whole worked well, the only
complaint eominjr from middlemen who
have In past eais setured advantaRes
that this .vear will R" to the piodueers.
In the West demand Is stieliRthen
Iiir, but anlvals by lake are Mill llRht.
At the head of the lakes, though the
season of navigation is about half
over, supplies on the docks aie seantv
and certain sl.e. paitli ulatly crr, are
hard to Ret. Theie will have to be a
heavy movement of co.il with pi nimbly

the utieeitalnty over mop piospeets
keeps them from bu.vliiR fteely. Krr
eoal, as In Lake Superloi teiiltory and
at i:astein points Is the size most
wanted. At lower lake points trade Is

Lake frelRht tate.s aie still Sic. to Lake
Superior and 40c. to Lake Michigan
points.
Along the Atlantic seaboard most
dealers Mem to have good supplies, al
though then- is still a fair demand for
coal. This demand is laigel.v fioin the
shnal water ports to take advantage of
the August discount and the low coast
wisp freights. An unpiovement In de
mand at New Yoik and Philadelphia
Is expeited befoie the end of the
month, when ilealeis begin to lecelve
oidcrs from householders returning
lrom vacations.
The mlueis aie still In an uncertain
trame of mind, and further labot tioti

grlevame Just now Is th.it some of the
companies will not allow olllelals of the
T'nlted Mine Woikeis to stand about
shafts and breakois and asieitain If
each woiker Is In good standing with

Tin:
IWi wonderful development of the
American ralltoad has hrought
lorldn nearer to New York. It
has bridged the distance with hands
of glittering steel until now It may
be reached In a day nnd a night from
the metiopolls. Think of it, only a
day and a night from the frosts of n
Northern; winter to the balmy, sun
kissed flcldVi of Southland. Heneath
the genial jky of Plorlda the large
number of people who feel the need
of a mld-w Inter, as well as a mid
summer ho1lda, find the rest nnd te
creation which a woiklng world makes
necessary.
Klrst Impressions, especially of a
place wo have sought for lest, or for
a change of scene, have much to do
with our subsequent enJo tnent, and
fit st iiiiuesson of Tampa City and
Tampa P.fcy Hotel can baldly be other
wise than fnvoinble. No tiip thioush
the South is complete without a stay
at this most famous, world-i enow tied
lesort. It is a ctratlon untlvallod of
Its kind In nil our travels from Halifax
to Vletoila, from Maine to California,
nnd thus far during otir Southland
trip, and noted travelers say on either
side of the Atlantic and the world.
Till: KIItST Cl.IMPSi:.
Knteilng the city by tall nnd by
ckivllght, the gi.indly magnificent pic
ture conies sudden upon the view, as
the ttaln makes a tiltn and Mops be
tween the town and the river The
foreground Is the liver, and In It are
all sorts of boats for towing and sail
ing as well as steam and naphtha
launches through the swaying pines
It scon a unique palace, a magnificent
fittili'tute, with golden crcsient of the
Orient, with silvered domes and Moor
ish mlnaiet". This Is Tampa Hay Ho
tel In the distance, with sunound
lugs that take one back through the
centuiles in history, even befoie Vc
Soto came, and this may have been
the very spot where he landed who
knows? The view fiom the cats com
prise all this, as u1m fiom the bildge
that spans the river from the hotel
to thf town. The Intending guest
need not leave the train hete. After
a short stop It eiosscs the ilver and
ecinie? light to the galleries of the
west eritianie and stops under the
f-hadow ot the great hotel. All pa.s
senger trains enter and depart from
the enclosure of the hotel, thus ob
viating transfer of passengers and
baggage. It ! only 5 n'doi k p. m ,
and In the brightness of a seinl-troplc
sun the domes and descents nnd pin
nacles glisten intensely nnd the mas
sive pile giows to Immensity. We
alight from the tiain amid a rojnl
grove of giant live-oaks, nppioached
by avenues of mange, palm and pal
metto trees, near to the spieadlng
blanches of ,the wpnderful live-oak
tice which be.iis the name of De Soto,
who, when he landed here two hun
dred e,u ago. on the banks of what
l now called Hlllborough river, little
dreamed of the thriving and populous
commercial town which would succeed
the military fortress, and from whence
ships and commodities would go
speeding to all p-iils of the world 1
say, perhaps old Pe Soto dreamed all
this, if he did. behold it was proph
ecy, for the swaying pines have top
pled and In tin Ir places has atlsen
the grandest structure on earth. The
tiee, however, stands a monument to
his gallant and adventurous spirit,
and a leminder of he Old World
In close proximity to one of the most
stately creations of the New Wotld.
A vi;kitai?li: talaci:,
The Tampa Hay Hotel contains ev
ery provision for health and comfort.
No one who does not see It and dwell
In It for at least a day can foirn the
faintest Idea of "the comprehensive
ness of Its purpose, the breadth of Its
plan, the Ideal leflnement of Its com
forts, the noble scale of Its luxuries"
Architecturally it Is unique. Within
It is a palace tilled with costly and
pleasing paintings, statuary and bric-a-brac
from all lands It Is the larg-
st hotel in the South, and a marvel
of luxurious appointments and lavish
olitl.iv. Nothing offends the eye or
the taste at any point, and while the
first view externally Is Impressive, the
cfiect pmcltiLcd by a first glance on
entering its bioad and Inviting poi
tals Is one of astonishment ami de
light. The moment cine enters the
giounds and steps upon the porch he
has a feeling that he will enjoy Its
comfoits As he enteis the rotundn,
reglsti rs his name and looks about
him upon all this awe-lnsplilng mag
nlllceiue he still feels ho will enjoy it
hete. When he Is shown through the
elegant p.ulois, dining and tending,
smoking, wilting rooms and conserva
tories he feels he will like It, but
whin he enteis it.s spacious halls and
his beautifully nnd legally furnished
sleeping room, overlooking the lovely
grounda coveiedi with tropical nnd
feiiil-tiopli.il shade trees of eveiy
Known variety under the sun, he Is
certain sine ho will enjoy It, but nfter
passing clown the gtand hallway of
700 feet, lined with life-sized bionzes
and numberless tropical plants, nnd
enteiH the dining room, or banquet
hall, and has been a guest a day, he
Is ready lo piovo It Is the ideal hos
telry of the country.
Any further desctlptlon 1 may give
of the Inteilor or exterior but faintly
tells of the magnificence of the at
tractions and suiioundlngs of this ie
son. It stands In a tropical park as
attractive as a bountiful Nntuie and
the skill of landscape gardeners can
make It. among oiange and palm trees
of thiity-five neies. The main sltue
lure t 500 feet long, with wings and
annexes covet Int" 450 feet additional
length. Its walls aie of bilck and
beams of steel aiehed with concrete
nnd floored with tiles and absolutely
fir e-pi oof massive, yet light and
graceful In Its peifect Moorish aichl
teeture. with lolonadcs, porches nnd
balconies looking out thiough one nun
died niches upon as ninny pictutes,

150 feet above the lawns, that gently
slope away In fiont and fall with
gieen terraces to the watei'.s edge.
Tho sheltered pioinenades among the

by the shaded electric lights In ground
glass, softly tinted, that aie set In the

are not fiom this or that "shop," but
fiom old niasteis. On the mantels
and cabinotH ate some beautiful and

Antoinette or upon her divan, or at
Napoleon's table while oil matvel at
the bewilderment of heauty aiound
you. The carpet In scarlet, with Its
black lions rampant, made In France,
la a icpllca of unci uf Louis XIV, and
covers the entile floor of this splendid
salon, on which aie chalis of gold
and silk and plush of the same era,
as there are also tapestiles of In
calculable values and richness that
have hung In pal.it es before they came
to this one. The wilting nnd leading
rooms, Just off fiom the totunda, aie
furnished in the same unique manner.
One, called the "Louis XIV room."
has nil Its dccoiiitlons and appoint
ments ot the era of that monarch. In
the giand ihambeis, the .style Is not
less tegul in magnificence. These sur
pass an thing we have ever seen, no
two of them alike. They range In
size fiom the grand suite of complete
living apaitmcnts, with pallor 'and
librailes, to the chamber for two, with
silken hangings, etc. other guest
looms on the floors above have eveiy
convenience known to modern Inven
tive genius, Including telephone to the
olllce and every other room In the
house
THF. (iUANI) STAIRWAY.
The giand stall way Is a ni.uvel ot
richness, whose carpets weie really
cushions, whose balustiades weie mm -vels
of tarvlng, and whose newel posts
were Moorish women In bionze bear
ing electile toiches In hands extended
over their heads.
Another striking feature Is the grand
hallway, extending fiom north to
south 700 feet, passing tlltough the
totunda. Heie are life-sized bronzes,
holding groups of electile lights, and
near hy ate elcvatots to the upper
tloois. The north hall passes by the
giand pallors to the giacefully found
ing curve of the solaiium, wheie It
ends.
Wheie shall I say It ends? In mod
ern pai lance, at the dining hall, but
what might be the "banquet loom" of
a Moorish king, with Its lofty dome
nnd almost circled arches that rest
on fluted pillnis, and when lighted hy
electricity Is without doubt the hand
somest and most billllaut banquet hall
In the states, and the world even.
Just at the end of the hall, near the
entrance to the dining hall, Is a giand
otchesttlon, which, with Its Inter
changeable tolls, plajs the latest
music, fiom the popular alls of the
day to the classic pioduetlons of the
gieat compose) s. Theie Is a music
room Just off the totunda, with wax
eel flouts, perfect stage, footlights, cir
cular In fonu, broad galleiles, tillable
for conceit, lectuio and tablaau, and
ov oi head the electtlc fire gleams In a
star mid descent group, The prom
enade to the banquet hall Is lined on
either side with exquisite palms and
ferns and works of art, the object of
ndmhatlon at least three times daily.
Outside Its walls, Its beautiful poiches
and veiandas, the hotel offeis ample
lesouues for recieatlon to its guests.
The wnteis abound In fish, the naph
tha and steam launches convey pai
tles of pleasuie; good saddle hoises
and elegant turnouts can be obtain
ed. The exposition building contains
many curios nnd inteiestlng things,
freely open to inspection, Colt holds a
ptomlnent plate In the list of recita
tions. A new lS-hole course near the
hotel olfeis a woith.v contesting
giouiid for some of the best placis In
the country. Tim ti lie American of
either sex Is fond of hmscs and that
emulative strife that sends the noble
animal coursing mound the track for
honois and pluses. At Tampa Hay Is
one of the finest tiacks In the world,
with ample accommodations equal to
the Charter Oak, Sheepshcad Hay,
Saratoga, etc., etc.
TROPICAL (lAHDKNS,
The spacious gioiinds mound the
Tampa Hay Hotel are under the super
vision of Anton Flehe, an expert gar
dener, anil from him I gatheicd much
Information. One can baldly realize
the intensity and beauty of this trop
ical g.uden and giounds. Here Is ccun
pilsed no less that -14 dlffeient spc
cles of tioplcal ft tilt and flower plants,
viz : 31 ttopleal fruit plants; L'O kinds
of seml-tiopicnl fiult lives, all In good
blooming and hem lug condition; also
MO kinds of plants and licos of the

with palmetto ttees. (Handing fiom

and also playing fountains, sun mind

15 of which have been In bloom since
last June; the mountain foil, oveuun
with cactus and foliage plants mount

ly waves Old Oloiy. The ferns, what
shall I say of them? Some come from
Jamaica, where the Island boasts of
500 species. Kspec tally noticeable was
the elate palms In bloom, jeady to
fiulti the cactus, alto In hlooni. the
nine varieties of the orange tree, the
lemon, banana, cocoanut, figs, man

glory, was bewlldeilng and simply In

The cuisine and table service of the
Tampa Ray Hotel has no supeilor In
any lesort In the cnuntiy. No pains
me spared to piocuie delicacies fiom
every part of the world, In and out
of season. Tho hotel Is under the ex
clusive management of Colonel A. K.
Dick, of New York, with H. W
Swope as chief tjei k. This Is suftlel
ent evidence of Its skillful manage
ment, when the history of these two
connoisseurs Is made known to the
public. Unth of these gentlemen aie
trained hotelmen of the tlist older and
of gieat experience. Colonel Dick, the
genial managei, has the imputation of
being "everywhere present" In the
rotunda, the di awing loom, the din
ing hall, even about the couldois and
the giounds, and with n cheeiful fate
and manner entertaining and looking
after the Intoiests of the guests, while
at the ofllce Is Mr. Swope, ever icady
to iccognlze his old friend" and pat
terns, and see they aie properly as.
signed and cared for and made to feel
at home. Mr. Swope wa foimeily
chief ileik and manager of the West
minster Hotel of New York, wheie he
was so well and favorably known by
guests fiom Stianton and Honesdale
and wheie today he has many friends
Manager Dick's leputation Is far-famed,
not only among Soutehrn resorts,
such as the Seminole, at Winter Paik.
I'la., where he was its manager under
the Plant system for years, but In
Northern cities and seaside lesorts.
He is the pioprictor of the famous
Long Reach Hotel, the Greater New
York family lesoit, the latgest sum
mer hotel In the North, where he and
his chief clerk. Mr. Swope, each sum
mer, with gratifying success, attract
the numerous people of refinement and
culture who were their guests at Tam
pa In winter (old time patrons) to
enter their names anew on the hotel
register at Long Reach In summer, to
gether with thousands fiom New York
nnd sunoundlng cities. This Is the
best posslhle certificate of their good
management.
KMINKNT l!Fi:STS.
Tampa liny Hotel, during the winter
season, Is famed for Its eminent guests.
It enteitaliii the best repirsentatives
of society of this and other lands,
who form a brilliant gatheilng of re
fined and cultivated people Among Us
guests ate CJenetal Miles, Raion Fava
anil other military, naval and polltl
cal dignitaries, also Col. II. M. Holes,
wife and daughter, of Scranton, homt
waid bound from Havana. The genial
ex-colonel of the Thliteentli Regiment,
N. O. P, was as bionzed and as en
thusl.istle as when he ai rived home
from his trip around the world, and
qulto as Inteiested over his expeil
ernes In the Antilles.
I should mention the beautiful Ca
sino building, with its flue bllliaid and
pool rooms nnd the gieat swimming
pool and the Audltoium, wheie excel
lent diamatlc pei foi malices are fie.
qtiently given hy supeilor aitlsts. The
swimming pool, 50 leet by 70 feet. Is
veiy alluilng, with Its tiled walls of
dazzling whiteness nnd Its clear water
from tluee to ten feet deep. It is
freely patronized, with a competent
teacher h1vv(is In attendance Mx
miles distant Is the famous boiling sul
phur spilng, to which boats tun fie
quently from the hotel foi the ntiom

building Is the hjdio.statlc establish

in this lountij only four hydio-thei-apeutle
establishments in the I'nlted
Stales, viz.: Hot Springs, Vn ; Lakr
wocid, N, J, and Mlddleton Spilngs,
Vt., and Tampa Hay Hotel. Tin dis
tinctive and most prominent feature of
the Tampa Hay Hotel plant is the
"constant jet," but one other plant in
America has this featuic Hot Spilngs.

been Intiodiued bote by Dr. Hnwdiuh
Morton, lesldent phvslclan who
hi ought It fiom Zurich, and who has
made It a specialty. It Is highly sin
