We present results of simultaneous observations of the vector magnetic Ðeld, Evershed Ñow, and intensity pattern in a nearly axisymmetric sunspot, made with the Advanced Stokes Polarimeter at the Vacuum Tower Telescope at NSO (Sacramento Peak). The vector magnetic Ðeld is determined from the Stokes proÐles of the magnetically sensitive lines Fe I 630.15 and 630.25 nm, and Doppler velocities and intensities are measured in several lines including the weak C I 538.03 nm line, formed in the deepest layers of the atmosphere. The strength of the magnetic Ðeld decreases with increasing zenith angle (angle of inclination to the local vertical), and this decrease is nearly linear over most of the range of values in the sunspot. Magnetic Ðeld strength and continuum intensity are inversely related in the sunspot in a manner similar to the characteristic nonlinear
