THE VICTORIA MARKET. J Park lodge is perhaps a trifle over a mile trom the end of tbe street car line, and the market is one short block from the terminus. This is tbe Victoria mnrket, the principal one In Kingston. Then, I* anothei, called tbe Jubilee market, in another part of tbe city Tbe Victoria market 1 consider tbe finest in tbe West Indie*. In tbe early morn ing it is crowded with buyers, tellers and goods, and by early morning I mean from <5 to I) o’clock. It is a wonder of a market for any West Indian city, built entirely of iron, W feet long, and 160 feet wide. The ends and sides are open there being no side wails, as none are needed, but the whole place is surrounded by a tall iron railing mounted on a brick wall. Everything about it is as clean and sweet as possible, and even when the flub and ineat stalls are full one smells nothing but tbe sweet odors that float over from tbe flower places. It cost about 3120,- 000, and is well worth the money. “The beef, it is all raised on the island, and is originally very good oeef before it goes into the hands of tbe butchers But they kill it and sell it the same morning, spper- •ntly cutting tbe whole animal into slices or hunks, without regard to choice parts or -•oor parts. 1 know the beef is good when properly handled, t»ecause whenever 1 dined in a private bouse tbe roasts were excellent, haring no doubt been kept for some time on ice. but in the hotel, where it was used within * few hours of its coming from market, it was utterly unfit to put on tbe table Ths mutton, too, was good when projierly iced; out the best Southdown lamb, if killed at iayligbt, would not be fit to use for break- rast that morning. This is the practice throughout tbe West Indies—to kill an ani mal at 5 and eat him at 10, and it accounts very largely for tbe wretched meat com monly served in that port of the world. Goat meat is not to be laughed at, provided it comes out of a tender kid. 1 ate my first plate of roast kid In Be-mudaand lika it quite as well as turkey. Strawberries are scarce, and egg plants are not as cheap as they look at two cents each, for they are very small Tbe native way of keeping bouse is to eend a servant to market in tbe morning to buy provisions for tbe day, and for one day only, and there wifi perhaps in clude a pound of onions, two cents' worth of smaB vegetables, a pineapp^ and every thing on tbe same modera te scale There w reason for this, for scarcely anything will keep witboat ice. and ice is dear even *&*> cheap, because in a hot climate it melts so fast.
