The fortress Is sur rounded by n moat, forty feet wide some 25 feet deep, found ly flooded by the Incoming tide, nnd Its main en hance was by a drawbridge.

St. Augustine Is prcy'mlnt'ntly a tourist fit . a fashionable winter re sort; a health resort;, the Nice of the new world. In atimtner the population does not exceed G00O, but In the winter Its number is Inereaved to tens of thousands. Private tesldences and cottages ate distinguished for elegance and comfort and ear b.v eor the city grows inoie beautiful. A great sec tion of the old Spanish town was detioycd by lire, a few years ago. and many of the old land marks, seen on a previous visit, ate gone nnd have been icplaced by row, of modem houses and stoics The society Is most fash ionable nnd the luxury of life Is proveiblal. In the social featnies of the hotel and villa life, St Augustine is the N'evvpoit of the South. Tlie untuinl advantages of St Augustine are many. It lias a world icnovvneel leputatlon for healthfulness, and possesses a magnificent beach on which sea-bathing may lie Indulged In the year lolind A dimming drive over a bioad ohell-pavid boulevaid, leads to Annstnla Island, and the ocean.

Of mcKlein St. Augustine, the hotels Ponce de l.eon, the Alcazar, Cordova and the Casino with their mngnlficicnt couits, lawn and gardens, are the chief attractions. These buildings ate constructed of solid coqulna con crete, which are becoming moie sub cIuchI In coloring and linpiesstvenss and Imposing with age. The substan tial walls, columns, loggias, and por ticos are now vine-tlad, le.icliing in places' to the leira cntta roof trimmings.
