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.
These early morning hoars for sight seeing
and noticing the habits of the people were
tar better than tbe evening. 1 have always
made ft a rule to be nnder a roof if possible
