bridge and athletic tournaments, auction pool,

PORTO RICO was discovered by Colum-
bus in 1493, and was conquered, mainly by
Ponce de Leon, from 1508 to 1520, during
which period more than half a million
natives were exterminated. San Juan, the
capital, is a walled city and breathes freely
of old Spain. Ponce de Leon's remains lie
in the Cathedral here. El Morro guards
the entrance to the harbor.
