I WALT DISNEY WORLD: Magie The Dallas Museum of Fine Arts is using modern computer technology to move almost 10,000 art objects across town to its new, $50 million home scheduled to open in January. Museum staffers agree the facility's new computer system, considered one of the most advanced in the nation, is central to the success of one of the most ambitious art-museum moves in this country.

"The move has been in planning for three years and has involved many different components, including conservation having things worked on arid restored or repaired in preparation for the new installation," said the musuem's Steven Nash. "The new installation itself figures into the move because things are targeted with preordained locations as they are packed, which means we had to decide more or less where they would go in the new museum." Ginger Geyer, assistant chief curator for administration who is charged with computerizing the collection, said she fell into the computer age. "Research projects are what most museum computer systems are for, but to move to a new building, we didn't need to know how many landscapes were in the collection," she said. "We needed to know physical things, like the size of each picture and the number of parts that make up a sculpture." Kingdom Orlando. Sunday through Friday, 9 a.m.

Lykes of Brooksville, and from that marriage came an alliance in shipping and cattle which led to the Lykes Brothers financial empire. Capt McKay's eldest surviving son, James McKay II, followed in his footsteps as a mayor of Tampa as did one of his grandsons, D.B.

McKay, who served four terms. Only one grandson survives today, 92-year-old Donald D. W. (Don) McKay, who was recorder for Egypt Temple Shrine for 33 years. wmmmmm 1 though, when two of his vessels, the Scottish Chief and the Kate Dale, were burned by Northern troops about six miles up the Hillsborough River.

Another "heavy blow to Tampa" occurred when a large salt works owned by McKay was destroyed by the Federals. Karl Grismer in his Tampa history wrote that Capt McKay spent the remainder of the war working to send a steady stream of cattle northward by land. He noted this was not an easy task, since "some of the largest herds were owned by Union sympathizers," others by "lukewarm Rebels" uneager to take Confederate money. At the request of Southern officials, Capt McKay organized a "Cowboy Cavalry" to protect the cattle drives northward. As the Confederacy collapsed, the doughty Scot assisted in the dramatic escape of Secretary of State Judah P.

Benjamin. According to Pizzo, Benjamin was hidden in Capt McKay's home en route to the Gamble Mansion at Ellenton. From there the Confederate cabinet officer eventually made his way by ship to Nassau. In the dismal recovery period after the war, Capt McKay attempted to renew his cattle trade to Cuba. Initially, cattlemen held out for higher prices.

Gradually, agreement was reached, and by 1868 the Cuban cattle trade boomed, when rebellion on the island left meat supplies scarce. Capt McKay had a virtual monopoly on the shipping of cattle from the Bay area, so he began to prosper again with the flow of Spanish doubloons.

A tidal'surge rolling in from the monster storm of 1848 swept their house upriver. For a while they took refuge in a tent on today's Kennedy Boulevard, until the captain could put up a log house. The McKays stayed there until he was able to bring finished lumber from Mobile for a permanent home. It went up in the block bounded by Franklin and Jackson streets, Florida Avenue and Washington Street where the City Center rises today. McKay realized the need for lumber in a growing town, so he started Tampa's first sawmill.

He got into construction, building a courthouse to replace one that had been torched by the Indians. The new edifice, 20-by-40 feet and two stories high, cost the county $1,368. Capt. McKay didn't stay a landlubber long. Proprietor of a general store selling "everything from a knitting needle to a sheet anchor," he decided to ensure regular shipping connections from Tampa.

Late in 1848, he bought the schooner Sarah Matilda and began regular runs to Mobile and New Orleans. Before many years had passed, he owned a fleet of sailing and steam vessels which carried freight, passengers and mail to other Gulf ports. One of his most significant though, came in 1859 when he plunged into the cattle business and chartered a ship to transport cows to Cuba. This inaugurated the Florida cattle trade with Cuba, according to his grandson, D.B. McKay, in Pioneer Florida.

That year, Capt McKay was elected mayor of Tampa. Although he left office the next year, he negotiated in the city's behalf for Fort Brooke. But the government would not sell, agreeing only to rent the abandoned property; The city took possession Jan. 1, 1861 an ominous year, for it brought secession and the Civil War. Capt McKay had bought a "sleek screw steamer," the Salvor, for a Key West-Havana run, but it was involved in another mission when stopped by the USS Keystone off Florida's southwest coast in October 1861.

Flying the British flag, the Salvor was loaded with 400 revolvers, 500,000 percussion caps, "a large number of rifles," coffee, cigars and many boxes of clothing. Capt McKay insisted the ship had been sold to British interests and was en route to Nassau. But he and his son Donald were taken into custody and imprisoned for five months, before an appeal to President Lincoln brought their freedom. It wasn't long before Capt. McKay had his ships slipping contraband goods past Federal gunboats patrolling the bay and the Gulf.

His blockade-running came to an end in the fall of 1863, QOur Sunday school class would like to go on a hayride.
