SMITIi gen'l passenger agent j63 FIFTH AYENUE, NEW YORK K :p ''is iit ORTUNATE the city which has delightful suburbs. More fortunate 'Still is that vast Metropolis which has at its very threshold an expanse of ocean-bounded country where beauty of landscape and health go hand in hand, to which the tired dweller of the city may betake himself for rest, recuperafllon and re- creation, and find the fullest satisfaction. If New York had nothing else to mark its advan- tages of location over other cities, it could take pride in the possession of the ever-beautiful, ever-varied Long Island as one of the most ideal summer breathing places on the American continent. Geographically, Long Island lies between the mighty Atlantic, whose THE SURF OFP LONG ISLAND SHORE waves surge a never ending symphony upon the beautiful beaches along its southern shores, and Long Island Sound, that great inland tidal sea, whose surface is dotted with the white-wingM fleets of commerce. Its ocean coast-line is practically level from Brooklyn to the far-away pic- turesque Montauk, at its eastern end. Long Island runs nearly east and west, and it is the only section of the United States whose ocean boundaries have this direction. The influence of this peculiarity upon its climate is very marked, as the prevailing winds, wafted over the oceanis surface in summer, are invariably from the south, sweeping across the Island to the sound shore. It is often said of the enterprising American that he takes his pleasures too seriously. It is difficult for him to get away from busi- ness, and he carries even into the hours of recreation a suggestion of the counting-room and office. He realizes this himself, for his physician calls it often to his mind. Hence this may account for the fact that he takes his vacation sternly and goes far, and spends largely to find it. All foreign countries are picturesque ; the novelty exaggerates their charac- teristics, and to strange eyes the hills of Scotland are of greater grand- eur than the Catskills, and the mountains of Switzerland more rugged than the Rockies. Thus a vacation is alleged to be more eff'ective if it is sought at a distance, and one imagines that he sees greater wonders in lands that are new to him, simply because they are new. This may explain the fact than an American paradise is neglected for a desert sought in Europe. This is emphasized and increased by a visit to Long Island, where the same sun that gives to Italy its summer, rises from the depths of the waters to set in glowing colors a landscape unsurpassed to eyes wearied by the ledger and the law book. Try it, you who doubt, and be convinced ; take the train some morning in summer and discover how close to the noise and bustle of New York one finds the glade, the shel- tered nook, the green expanse of plain, and the peace and repose of a prosperous and happy country. To the right, as your face is turned east- ward, is the Great South Bay; beyond it the long stretch of Fire Island, with old ocean's rolling breakers. To the north the hills rise gently, until they form a broken series of parapets lifting themselves like minature Gibraltars above the water. One must see it all to fully appreciate Long Island. Prom the summit of the hills one can view both sound and ocean. The winds deal gently in summer with the waters, and there are no storms to buffet the pleasure craft that dot the scene with their white sails flashing in the sun. As far as the eye^can reach, it is the blue of the waters with the blue of the sky, softened by a tinge of green from the Connecticut shore beyond. Few countries offer so charming a vista ; none excel it. Totally different from the south shore in appearance, topography, and soil is the northern shore, which skirts Long Island Sound. Here the sandy beaches have given way to bold, and in many cases precipitous bluffs, into-and between which the sound has broken and spreads itself out in placid and picturesque bays and harbors. Upon the shores are charming sites for summer homes, where magnificent marine views may be enjoyed amid surroundings of woods and meadow. The central portion of Long Island partakes of the characteristics of a farm- ing country, in which agriculture and horticulture have made advanced strides and have been carried to a high perfection. In soil and climatic conditions it is admirably adapted to fiower, vegetable and fruit cul- ture and thousands of its broad acres are being scientifically and intelli- gently tilled. In a general way, these are the chief characteristics of the Island, which is the natural resident section of crowded New York. Even one of the most exacting taste can find amid this almost infinite variety of charming spots some place which shall possess the desired requisites of a satisfactory abiding place. A close analysis of the three general divisions of Long Island— the seashore, central and sound shore sections— shows what an unusual wealth of attractions each possesses. These are more or less individual, and yet the same dominant chords run in a harmonious unison through all. If one enjoys the sea, with its charms of surf bathing, sailing, and deep-water fishing, there are the many beautiful villages along the south shore. In each of these may be found well-appointed hotels, and many boarding houses where accommodations may be had at a less expense. Nearer by, the great hotels at Manhattan Beach, Arveme, Edgemere, Far Rockaway, and Long Beach, all furnish the most desirable accom- modations, and are delightfully located upon the very edge of the surf. Skirting the Southern shore of the Island for nearly eighty miles is the Great South Bay, which is an ideal and safe inland sea for sailing and still-water bathing. It is the great play-ground for the smaller boats, and affords those whose timidity prevents their enjoyment of the ocean or sound an opportunity to indulge to the fullest extent in life upon the water, which is such a charming feature of Long Island summer life. On a summer's day hundreds of yachts and sailboats may be counted skimming over the sparkling surface of this beautiful bay. There is room and accommodation upon Long Island for the million- aire, the man who is well-to-do, and the prudent wage-earner who must needs get the most comfort for the least money. In many localities, clubs and associations, composed of wealthy gentlemen, have selected choice sites, and erected delightful club-houses, in|;o which they have in- troduced all the luxuries and conveniences of met- ropolitan life. Several of these clubs have pur- chased or leased large tracts of land which are iised as private shooting and fishing preserves. But the territory thus held, compared with the great area of Long Island, is lost sight of in the wealth and variety of that which is left. It is in one of the many villages, which dot the Island from end to end, that the average person will prefer to make his home. The exact location will depend, of course, largely on individual taste and whether or not daily trips to and from the city must be made. There are a score of delightful towns near enough to New York to be of quick access, where accommodations may be obtained in hotels and boarding houses at reasonable rates. The character and excellence of such accommodations on Long Island are well-known. In no other region of the country is there a greater variety or abun- dance of those things which "tickle the palate" of mankind. The sur- rounding waters teem with the finest varieties of salt-water fish, includ- ing the world-famous Little Neck clams. The Blue Point oysters are natives of the Great South Bay. The Island produces vegetables and fruits in the greatest abundance, and the markets of New York, which are easily accessible, supply the few delicacies for the table that are not raised upon the Island or caught in its surrounding waters. To the artist, whether of brush or camera. Long Island offers, not in the sense of time, a new field, yet one which is ever new and fresh in opportunities, and prolific of subjects. Its woodlands, its meadows, its broad level moors, with the bright sea beyond, will challenge the skill of hand and eye as long as art shall last. Its Dutch windmills, choice bits of antiquity and landmarks of other days, have been in the past, and will be in the future, an inspiration for many a canvas. When the sea is boisterous, and is running "mountains high," those who love to paint the ocean in its wildest frenzies may have the freest scope for their genius, and perhaps, as is frequently the case, some great ship will be tossed far up on the beach, and the sturdy life-savers from one of the numerous stations which dot the shore will become living models for a thrilling chef-d'oeuvre. Long Island is at the doorway of New York City, but the difference in their temperatures is most marked. Only those who have sweltered in the city and have then gone to one of the charming towns of the Island, to find it so cool at night that a blanket ' ' feels good, ' ' can realize the great, almost phenomenal, difference in the temperatures. The suburban places on Long Island offer to business men who must needs be at their desks daily, the best opportunity to locate their families where they have all the desirable advantages of the country, and where they themselves may spend each night without making the daily journey to and from the city a tiresome feature of daily life. For those to whom daily trips to the city are not necessary, or for that larger body of busi- ness men who locate their families in some pleasant place and join them over Sunday, the eastern end of Long Island offers many inviting places. Among them are Moriches, Westhampton, Quogue, Good Ground, Shin- necock Hills, Southampton, Watermill, Bridgehampton, Easthampton, Amagansett, Montauk and Sag Harbor, many of which are near the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. To these must be added the delightful towns of Riverhead, Jamesport, Mattituck, Cutchogue, Peconic, Southold and Greenport, on beautiful Peconic Bay. Opposite Greenport is the pop- ular and always delightful Shelter Island, with its charming surroundings and excellent hotels. 10 A RURAL HOME AT WATERMILL The Long Island Railroad Co. has recently re-laid many miles of track with heavy steel rails; the road-bed has been ballasted; new coaches have been p,dded to its equipment, and hard-coal-burning locomotives placed in service. During the summer nearly one thousand trains are operated on Long Island Railroad daily, which insures good service to all points. With such an array of natural advantages, its proximity to New York, and the exceptionally fine facilities of transportation and inter-communication. Long Island may properly be called the ideal summer territory. Its popularity has sprelad far beyond New York, and an ever-increasing per- centage of its summer residents are coming from the Middle, Southern, and Western States, as they find within its borders all the requisites of a delightful summer-land. But not only does Long Island appeal to the summer resident. , It is as well an ideal place in which to establish a permanent suburban home. Many new and artistic residences are con- stantly being erected everywhere on Long Island, mostly all of which are occupied by peraianent residents ; and each year the improvements in their construction and architectural developments, which aid so in making a town the more attractive, are readily noticed. Its nearness to New York, the superiority of its railroad service, the excellence of its school system, and the high standing of its society, all unite in produc- ing conditions which are most eagerly sought by those who wish to estab- lish a home of their own outside of the limited confines of the city. There has been in the recent past the greatest activity in road improve- ment all over the Island; there are now more than six hundred miles of macadamized thoroughfares. Besides this, there are hundreds of miles of well-graded and excellently maintained bicycle paths for the use of wheelmen, for whom Long Island is a paradise. Many of these 11 paths follow most picturesque roads, under the grateful shade of ovei"- hanging oaks, giving here and there lovely vistas of the ocean and sound, and broader views of the rolling fields and attractive villages. Long Island is particularly fortunate in having the service of the New York and New Jersey Telephone Company, which practically reaches the uttermost parts of the Island. Exchanges or Pay Stations are now lo- cated in almost all of the towns and villages from Brooklyn eastward, as well as in the stations of the Long Island Railroad Company, thus placing the residents within easy touch with each other and with the points they most need to reach as well as making it possible for them to communi- cate with all the places in the vast telephone system— Chicago,, Boston, St. Louis, being brought within as easy speaking range as New York or Brooklyn. Pay stations are located in many of the summer resort hotels, so that the guest from town may receive news from his office and trans- mit hourly instructions thereto, if need be. Probably no one more thor- oughly appreciates the value and convenience of telephone service than the business man who is out of town for the summer, or whose family sojourns at the seaside while he remains in town, the telephone service making easy communication possible. The value of telephone service in social matters is strongly felt in the summer, in obtaining information as to trains and boats, calling one's friends and engaging them for special occasions, instructing sailing-masters, ordering carriages, and making easy the many other details of social life. As an element of safety, and in an emergency, the telephone service is invaluable. The physician may be summoned, police aid called, or a fire alarm sent more speedily than by any other means. To the broker, banker or merchant, the telephone brings the latest news from headquarters as nothing else can, keeps him in touch with the market quotations, and saves him much travel and end- less vexation. It enables him to inform his family instantly and surely if he be detained in town and also to learn if anything of importance may necessitate a change of his plans. The telephone service of to-day places the patron on Long Island, through the New York and New Jersey Tele- phone Company's system, in communication, if need be, with any of the seventy-five thousand stations on and around Long Island, the City of New York, and nearby cities and towns, and with over one million tele- phone stations throughout the country through the Long Distance lines. The general offices of the New York and New Jersey Telephone Com- pany are at 81 Willoughby Street, Brooklyn, while an office at River head, L. I., furnishes any information desired in that section of Long Is- land. In the following pages will be found a brief mention of the various localities and towns upon Long Island. 12 «l 5nORE RESORTS AND SUDUKBAN TOWNS ON THE OCEAN SIDE T the very threshold of the greatest metropolis on this con- tinent is what may be truly called the greatest seaside resort in the world. One is hardly out of the suburbs of one until he is in the heart of the other. It is but a step from the noise and turmoil of the city to the sil- very sands of Manhattan Beach which edge the majes- tic Atlantic, from the discordant notes of trade and com- merce to the musical surgings of the "ever-sounding" sea. In Manhattan Beach, New York has a breathing place which has grown into remarkable popularity, by reason of the merits of its own attractiveness. Two great hotels, the Manhattan and the Ori- MANHATTAN BEACH ental, fumish most excellent accommodations. i6 Miles from New York The latter is entirely apart from that portion of the beach patronized by transients, and is one of the most delightful houses on the Atlantic Coast. It is said that none other has had as guests so many distinguished people. The Oriental has along its front, hand- some, wide, well-shaded verandas, from which one may look out across the beautiful lawns and flower beds to the ocean, but a few steps away. The Manhattan is an immense and impressive structure, built close up to the ocean side. Its wide, well shaded verandas, of almost endless length, make a most charming open-air cafe, where thousands of city dwellers gather every evening to enjoy the excellent cuisine, listening meantime to the sweet strains of music which float out from the nearby theatre, where during the entire season there are concerts and operas ■ during the afternoon and evening. A more fascinating -scene is difficult to imagine than that presented at Manhattan Beach every afternoon and evening. It is not to be compared to any other, for it has no equal. There is in it a little glimpse of Paris, a suggestion of the happy throngs, the brilliant lights, and touches of gay color one flnds at the caf6s along the Bois de Boulogne, and there is that, too, which recalls the at- tractions of Ostend and Brighton, or of the charming Lido on the Adri- atic at Venice. . But, after all, it is Manhattan Beach, happy and proud in a character and charm all its own. Directly in front of the Manhattan, and separjited from it by brightened flower-beds and velvety lawns, is the great board-walk, projecting in places almost over the surf. The great bathing pavilion adjoins the hotel, and here, as every- where at Manhattan Beach, the arrangements for furnishing the best accommodations are noticeable. A brilliant entertainment provided at Manhattan Beach after the dinner hour is the Fire Drama and Pyrotechnic Display by Pain. It is given in an immense enclosure in the rear of the Manhattan Hotel, on an enormous stage, with an artificial lake in front and vast walls of scenery behind. The brilliancy of these displays baffles adequate de- scription. Sheepshead Bay, which is a neighbor of Manhattan Beach, enjoys a large patronage, and its natural location, surrounded as it is by forests, and cooled by the ocean breezes, makes it very popular. Here is located SHEEPSHEAD BAY *he race track of the Coney Island Jockey Club, one 15 Miles from New York of the best known and successful racing associations in the country. Following the coast line to the east, the next resort reached, is Rockaway Beach, which is upon a long peninsula stretching out between ROCKAWAY BEACH ^^^ ocean on the one side and Jamaica Bay on the 16 Miles from New York other. This beach is in reality but a continuation of the long line of low-lying keys which skirt the entire south side of Long Island. At the lower end of the peninsula is Rockaway Park, where recent improvements have been made making this section very desirable for summer cottages. The Park Inn and bathing houses here are attract- ive features. At Belle Harbor, near Rockaway Park, a new residential district is being developed. Beyond them is the modem summer city-by-the-sea, Arveme. There BATHING AT ROCKAWAY PARK are many good hotels here, the largest'is the Arverne, with accommoda- ARVERNE tions for over four hundred guests. It is so con- 15 Miles from New York structed that every room looks out directly upon the ocean. The streets and avenues run from the sea to the bay. The summer population of Arveme is several thousand and is rapidly increasing. Many handsome summer homes, which bespeak the taste of their owners, have been erected at Arveme, and a large number of wealthy people spend the summer here. In addition to the hotels, there are many board- ing houses to care for the large summer population. Bathing is, of course, the chief recreation, but all kinds of out-of-door exercise are popular. Few places on the coast out-rival Arverne in attractive'ap, pearance. 16 Beyond Arveme is Edgemere, where the magnificent hotel, the Edgemere, has taken, as it deserved, a position among America's leading EDGEMERE summer hotels. It is modem in style and construction, i6 Miles from New York and perfect in detail, furnishings, and equipment, and has accommodations for four hundred guests. It stands near the ocean and commands a charming view from its great verandas and living- rooms. There are many attractive cottages here. Among the resorts which were popular a generation ago and which have held their own in public esteem must be counted Far Rockaway. FAR ROCKAWAY I'^e enterprise of the more modem resorts have not i8 Miles from New York equaled it, and it enjoys a large patronage and pos- sesses many material aspects not held by other places attempting to rival it, and attracts each season an immense number of visitors who find it to be one of the most pleasing of Long Island's resorts. It has every char- acteristic of an ideal place for a sojourn of a day or a season. Far Rockaway is a town of beautiful cottages, has splendid educational facil- ities, and has amply demonstrated its attractiveness as a permanent residential section for both summer and winter. It is but forty minutes from New York, and is up-to-date in every respect. ON THE BAY SHORE, FAR ROCKAWAY Adjoining Far Rockaway is Lawrence, which the wealth of its resi- dents has made, "to blossom like a rose." The attentions which have t-AWRENCE. ' ' ^6en paid ttf the aesthetic features of Lawrence are 19 Miles from New York immediately ■ noticeable to the visitor. In its charm- ing lawns, beautiful trees, and ornamental floriculture, it suggests New- 18 port. It further sug- gests the possibility of improvement which ex- ists in almost all small towns, where the citizens unite enthusiastically and earnestly in an effort to make things pleasing to the eye. The village of Lawrence has an at- tractive club-house, with a large number of mem- bers from the best class of cottage residents. Its schools are also of the very best. Lawrence is a fine, healthful location for permanent residents. Its accessibility to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean; its close touch with New York and Brooklyn; its essentially rural situation combined with the splendid train seirvice, all have a strong tendency to make Law- rence one of the most charming all - the - year- around resident sections of Long Island. Further inland is Cedarhurst, picturesquely situated on that broad neck of land which terminates in the Rockaways. It is a reservation of CEDARHURST exclusive tendencies, and in every way that good taste 20 Miles from New York can indicate, the best results have been attained in making the place beautiful and attractive. A beautiful club-house is located here, and the many attractions offered, both on land and water, have given Cedarhurst its deserved reputation as a popular summer resort. Next beyond is Woodmere, a charming place which is being rapidly v^ooDMERE developed into one of the most attractive residential 19 Miles from New York locations to be found on Long Island. North of Wood- HEWLETT '"^''^ ^® Hewlett, a promising village in pjeasant sur- 18 Miles from NewYork roUndingS. Following the south shore line ^ast .f?;onc( Jamaica, the first village reached is Springfield, which takes its name from the springs of crystal SPRiNGFiEtD . water bursting forth from their subterranean .sources 13 Miles from N?w York here. Rosedale, the next village to the east, is^ a ROSEDALE. ^"^'^ ^^^ enterprising little place, with charming sur- 15 Miles from New York roundings of woodland and meadow. Its nearest 19 VALLEY STREAM neighbor is Valley Stream, the junction for the Far 17 Miles from New York Rockaway Branch. The Branch starting at Oyster Bay on the north shore and continuing south through Locust Valley, Nassau, Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Roslyn, Mineola, Garden City and Hempstead, also unites with the south shore line at Valley Stream. Some of the trains from New York for Far Rockaway run by the way of Valley Stream, while others go via the Rockaway Beach Division. This enables the visitor to go one way and return by the other, thus add- ing to the variety and enjoyment of the journey. The route via the Rockaway Beach Division takes the traveler across Jamaica Bay over the long trestle. This experience of railroading over the water is so re- freshing that one is tempted to wish that the journey was thrice as long. Continuing beyond Valley Stream we come to Lynbrook, which is LYNBROOK ^^^ junction point for East Rockaway and Long Beach. i8 Miles from New York Here the Long Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail- LONG BEACH roai turns toward the ocean, and, crossing Hemp- 24 Miles from New York stead Bay at its narrowest point, terminates at Long Beach near the Long Beach Hotel, one of the largest and best known of America's ocean-side hotels. It has accommodations for a thousand guests, and is noted for its excellent service and unsurpassed cuisine. There is also a number of cottages near the hotel. Long Beach is one of LONG BEACH HOTEL the most popular of New York suburban summer resorts, and in addition to the fine bathing, there is a constant variety of entertainment provided at the hotel for the enjoyment of the guests. Hundreds of people are in the surf during the bathing hours, and the scene is one of greatest gaiety. 20 Sailing and fishing, both upon the ocean, or the quiet waters of Hemp- stead Bay, are, with surf bathing, the prominent features of life at Long Beach. "The Inn" at Long Beach, accommodating seventy-five guests, has been thoroughly renovated, and is a quiet and restful place. It is situ- ated directly upon the shore of the ocean where one can watch the bath- ers enjoying themselves in the surf. East Rockaway, situated on an arm of the bay, is a comfortable place, EAST ROCKAWAY within a few minutes ride of Long Beach. A few 19 Miles from New York miles farther east is Rockville Centre, a progressive town with many attractive homes and good schools, including a fine ROCKVILLE CENTRE High School. It is fuUy abreast of the times, ig Miles from New York Real estate being reasonably cheap, Rockville Centre is rapidly becoming a "land of homes." Its splendid location and proximity to the city has insured to it a rapid growth, and in antici- pation of this a commodious new station has recently been erected here. Baldwin, just beyond Rockville Centre, is identified bj^the graceful BALDWIN spire of the village church, which is a picturesque 21 Miles from New York feature. It is an inviting settlement, in which pros- perity is evident. That it is growing i§ apparent from the many improvements under way. Freeport bears the always distinguishable marks of progress. It is a town of comfortable and attractive homes, well-stocked stores, and in- FREEPORT viting churches. It is the home of many well-to-do 23 Miles from New York people, who have demonstrated their Aesthetic tastes GROVE PARK HOTEL, FREEPORT 21 WOODCLEFT INN, FREEPORT by creating two town parks, which are kept in excellent condition. Three good hotels are located at Preeport, the Grove Park Hotel, the Crystal Lake House and the Woodcleft Inn. They each have accom- modations for more than one hundred and twenty guests, and are well managed. The country around Freeport and through which the railroad passes, is one of, great natural attractiveness and beauty. It is dry and rolling, and hence healthful. Its gentle slope reaches to the Great South Bay, and from the ocean there is, during the summer season, an ever- refreshing and tonic-laden breeze. A recently erected railroad station, handsome and commodious, adds very materially to the comfort and con- venience of passengers. ' \.-- ■ - .-.f^'r- ■f,—J THE SEINE AT FREEPORT Merrick, the next station beyond Freeport, is chiefly known MERRICK because of its camp-meeting grounds. Here also are 25 Miles from New York located model farms and trout preserves. Bellmore BELLMORE ^^^ Seaford lie to the east of Merrick, and in each of 26 Miles from New York these there are a number of attractive homes, with pleasant surroundings, and no appearance of over-crowding. They are near enough to Great South Bay to catch the breezes. Wantagh, east of Bellmore, is a thrifty village with many attractive WANTAGH features. It is a good place for all year residence. At 27 Miles from New York Wantagh is located Marlborough Manor, a charming and beautiful estate, consisting of a chain of lakes and streams, the waters of which teem with trout. One of these lakes, known as Mirror Glass Lake is dotted with four pretty islands. These islands are covered with a number of trees that mirror their length in the clear waters of the lake. pequa, with its modem prosperity, has, in addition to its excellent and inviting hotel, the Massapequa, a goodly number of MASSAPEQUA modem, up-to-date summer cottages occupied largely 29 Miles from New York by their owners. gS^^/' MASSAPEQUA HOTEL, MASSAPEQUA An inlet meanders up through the meadows from the bay almost to the entrance of the excellent Massapequa Hotel, so that ready access may be had to the bay and ocean. Amityville is a thrifty, progressive town, full of push and energy, and abreast with all the modernisms usually found in a place of its AMITYVILLE population, which is about three thousand. It has 32 Miles from New York several hotels, among which the Newpoint is the most modem and complete. It is thoroughly attractive, and is the center of a most delightful social circle each season. Amityville has electric lights and gas, and its streets are well-graded and beauti- 24 HOTEL NEWPOINT — AMITYVILLE fled by over-hanging trees. It is one of the chief resorts on Long Island, and deserves its signal success in this line, for it has all the features desirable. Both the marine and land views are inviting ; and the town and hotels are so close to the water that sailing and bathing are the dominating pleasures. Directly across the bay from Amityville is the Gilgo Inlet, through which boats reach the ocean, where there is deep-sea fishing of the finest kind. AMITVVILLE CREEK All along this section of the south shore of Long Island the water front has been largely taken up by cottage owners, or by investment companies which are spending money liberally in developing the property, 25 and making it desirable and available for cottage sites. For this purpose it is particularly well adapted, as it is not only easy of access from the city, but is healthful, free from malarial influences, and is always de- lightfully cool in summer, as its location is such that it has the benefit of direct ocean breezes. All of these advantages have resulted in making this section exceedingly popular with those who enjoy surburban life. LiNDENHURST Lindenhurst is a growing town with a factory where 34 Miles from New York ^ ^^^^ number of its residents are employed. There are a number of boarding houses here. ON THE GREAT SOUTH BAY AT BABYLON 26 ABYLON is one of the most popular as well as one of the most attractive of the score or more of south shore villages. It includes, besides its permanent residences, a large number of beautiful summer homes, many of them suggesting in style and taste the wealth of their owners. There are good hotels here, many of them surrounded by exquisite lawn effects. The "Witson House, a thoroughly convenient and commodious hotel, has much prestige in a long-established and well-earned reputation. The town has many up-to-date features, such as gas works, FIRE ISLAND LIGHT, REACHED FROM BABYLON BABYLON electric light plant, social clubs, well-stocked stores, 37 Miles from New York g^me preserves, and other attractions. Its churches are numerous and its citizens enterprising. Located directly upon the Great South Bay, it enjoys both by day and night the cool and invigorating breezes which come directly from the Atlantic Ocean. The scene at the railroad station upon the arrival of the afternoon trains from New York is a brilliant one, and the station grounds are filled with handsome equipages, with liveried attendants, and gaily dressed ladies. The Westminster Kennel Club, located at Babylon, attracts each 27 NEAR BAYSHORE season many people of the highest social dis- tinction, who enjoy bringing the element of sport into their summer Uf e, and who by so doing add a variety and gaiety to the society of the place. The golf links afford much pleasure and are considered excellent. Fire Island, Oak Island and Muncie Island are reached by steamer from Babylon. Nearby are the headquarters of the jovial Wawayanda and Short Beach clubs, each having a large membership among New York and Brooklyn busi- ness men. There are two hotels on Fire Island ; and accommodations on the new Fire Island Hotel and the Surf Hotel, Oak Island. Returning to the mainland and continuing eastward from Babylon BAYSHORE ^^^ traveler comes first to Bayshore, which, with its 41 Miles from New York fine churches, handsome residences and parked grounds. BOAT CLUB, BAYSHORE 28 its properous stores, good schools, and broad, well-kept roadways, always make a most favorable impression. Bayshore is a suitable all-the-year-around town, to which the summer cottage feature is but a pleasing addition. It is a town which, even the casual visitor may see, offers comfort and opportunities for a delightful existence. The hand- some homes with their broad verandas and wide-stretching lawns indicate that the residents of the town have, as a class, a refined taste and an inclination to make their homes and surroundings expressive of that refinement. Some of the handsomest houses on Long Island are located at Bayshore. Here also are the grounds of the Bayshore Driving Park Association and the attractive property of the Olympic Club. Driving and wheeling are popular pastimes, for the roads are excellent. There are good hotels at Bayshore, among them the Prospect House, the Lin- wood and the Dominy House. Directly across the Great South Bay is the far-famed Fire Island whose lighthouse is known the maritime world over, and from the cable stations there all trans-atlantic steamshi|)s are first sighted and their arrival telegraphed to New York. This island is a low-lying sand key, not over a mile in width at any one point, and full forty in length. It forms a natural breakwater for the south shore of Long Island, and between it and the main shore is the Great South Bay so frequently referred to in this book.

It is situated at the very edge of the Atlantic Ocean, and, for luxury of sea bathing it is unsurpassed. Islip, which was settled originally by a goodly people from Islip, Oxfordshire, England, is the near neighbor of Bayshore, on the east, and ISLIP is quite lilce it in its surroundings. It has a large 43 Miles from ^few York population during the summer, when the magnificent country houses located here are occupied by the families of their city owners. There are at Islip a number of comfortable hotels. Prom this section beautiful views may be enjoyed of the Great South Bay and the wooded points which stretch out like fingers from the main shore. THE MOORISH HOUSES AT BAYBERRY POINT, ISLIP The portion of Long Island which skirts the south shore hereabouts is heavily covered with pine forests, which give the air a double charm, combining the odor of the balsam with the tonic of the sea. It is a region which duplicates in general appearances and climatic values Lakewood, N. J., but with added advantages of being much nearer New York and more easily and quickly reached. Through, the pine forest growth the roads run in every direction, and add to the delights of out- door life, being ideal for vehicles of every description. Prominent New Yorkers have been quick to realize that this imme- diate locality is an ideal one for the location of their summer homes, and, OAKDALE ^^ ^ consequence, there are at Oakdale a large number 48 Miles from New York of extensive estates, magnificent in both area and de- velopment. One of the most notable is that of Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt, at Oakdale. This estate includes a portion of what is known as the old Nichols grant, whose ownership runs back two centuries. There is also the immense and almost royal estate of Mr. F. G. Bourne. In .addition to these estates are those pf the Cuttings, and Mr. W. K. Aston, which are attractive and extensive. The Vanderbilt estate, which is enclosed by a high iron fence, is SI HARVEST TIME AT OAKDALE AN ENTRANCE TO THE VANDERBILT ESTATE, OAKDALE 32 A LODGE AT OAKDALE reached through beautiful ornamental entrances, guarding which are picturesque ivy-covered porters' lodges. Outside the east gate, at the side of the old post-road, which is the most popular thoroughfare out of New York, is a deep well of the purest water. This well is known to thousands of tourists, who have stopped to quench their thirst and rest under the refreshing shade of the enormous wide-spreading elms which surround the well. Near the Vanderbilt estate, with Oakdale as the railroad station, are the handsome quarters and preserves of the famous South Side Sports- man's Club, an institution of great popularity and enviable repute. Its membership includes many prominent men and during the spring, sum- mer and fall the club-house is the center of gaiety. A large herd of deer and an infinite variety of smaller game are here found, and its trout fishing is renowned. The nearby St. John's Church, which is the fashionable place to at- tend divine service, has been in existence more than one hundred and thirty years. Sayville is justly one of the most popular villages, on the south shore. It adjoins Oakdale on the east and has many advantages and attractions. SAYVILLE There are several attractive hotels on the bay. Among 50 Miles from New York them the Elmore, South Bay House, the Sea Side and Delevan, all charmingly located and have ample accommodations. They are near the Great South Bay, and have excellent bathing facili- ties. Sayville has many beautiful cottages with highly improved envi- ronments. The surrounding woodlands are kept in perfect condition, and 33 are in reality private parks. home of the oyster famous scientific trout ponds of Mr. BAYPORT °f B ay- 5a Miles from New York port which, being in a somewhat open country, affords many extended and beautiful views, both over the sedges and bay and far inland over the fertile fields and mead- ows.

Roosevelt, and nearby is the village PATCHOGUE handsome soldiers' AFTER GAME monument, as well as with the 54 Miles from New York niany excellent stores, handsome churches, beautiful homes, and the general atmosphere of thrift and enterprise which every- where predominates. The sidewalks are concreted. The streets are broad, paved and well shaded, are lighted with electricity and the place is kept in touch with New York by an excellent train service. Patchogue has many of the characteristic features of a popular summer resort. Its summer population runs into thousands, and there are countless comfortable boarding houses in addition to the many good hotels, the most prominent of which are the Clifton House, the Ocean Avenue Hotel, Roe's Hotel and the Central Hotel. These houses are all pleasantly located, and have earned much popularity on account of their attention to visitors and the high standard of general management maintained. One of the chief industries of the place is its oyster trade, thousands of ,barrels being shipped from here and the neighboring places to Europ- ean and American markets. There are several flourishing manufacturing establishments here, among them an extensive lace mill, employing a large number of people. Patchogue has for years been a famous resort for both fishing and boating, and its water-front along which there are casinos, bathing 35 pavilions, and other conveniences, is gay at all hours of the day. A very large fleet of excellent sailboats makes Patchogue its headquarters all the year around, hence there are alvsrays abundant opportunities for either sailing, fishing or shooting. Everyone who has listened to the aboriginal names of Long Island localities, or read the story of its early days, will recognize "Patchogue" as Indian. History tells us that more than twelve tribes, who were in their time numerous and powerful, have left their names indelibly stamped on Long Island. They include the Canarsies, the Rockaways, Massapequas, Patchogues, Shinnecocks, Montauks, Manhassets, Mineo- las, Amagansetts, Ronkonkomas and others. 36 HE eastern portion of the south shore of Long Island has been for generations a magnet of attraction to all who "loved nature for nature's sake." In[the early days of the century a regular stage route was main- tained from Brooklyn to Easthampton. According to the old handbills, a few of which are still in exist- ence, the stage left Brooklyn Court House every Thursday at 9 a. m. It was due at the tavern in Hempstead for dinner and a change of horses, reaching Babylon in the evening and "putting up" there for the night. Friday night was spent at Quogue, and the stage rolled up to the tavern at Easthampton, the end of its journey, on Saturday afternoon, having made the one hundred and ten miles in three days. Mark the contrast: To-day a resident traveling to the far end of Long Island boards a fast express train at New York or Brooklyn; drops into an easy seat, and with the beauties of the whirling panorama to divide his attention with his newspaper, covers the same distance in less than three hours. Such are the changes of the times. MORICHES INLET Bellport has a good elevation overlooking the Great South Bay and has developed rapidly. Bellport has many charming homes, and hotel BELLPORT accommodations for a large number of guests. The 58 Miles from New York Great South Bay at this point is three miles wide, giv- ing ample opportunity for boating. Brookhaven, which, because of intervening woodlands, is hidden from the railroad, lies immediately on the shore of the bay, which at BROOKHAVEN this point narrows considerably, so that the "cease- 60 Miles from New York less song of the mighty surf " is distinctly audible as i3^jH^Bp>ih- ^ ^ ^^^j^j^'J^B^B^WEMBmE^^^B W^K^ ^£ '^M ^^ Wf^^^H^M ^m. s^^^p^ '^^^^^^t^SR^? 1^^^^^ s^^^^^^^SmKt ^p Mmmmm^ ■■:■■■ ^ •■ ^^3 .'' ^^^H^PP^^^iflHP^^E ^^MB ^ ■•-■ ■ ' s - - i- ^^ '^^^^^E' ^Hi ■---<>»-*>- ^Kf' ^™^ ■ uBEuBkBBBEKk^^-'*'' ■'''^- ■'si- A STREAM IN MORICHES 38 it rushes up on the narrow outer island.

Moriches has always enjoyed the greatest popularity, and is one of the important resorts on Long Island. Its summer population is com- posed of a class of people who seek the wholesome enjoyments of out-of- door life rather than the attractions of society, and as a consequence the day is largely given over to sailing, bathing and rowing and to sports on NEAR MORICHES land. A great number of families from New York and Brooklyn make this place their summer home. No more ideal spot could be found for those who love the water. Moriches Bay, an extension of the Great South Bay, is practically land-locked, and perfectly safe for sailing or rowing at all times. There are a great number of attractive boarding houses in Moriches, where accommodations from the most modest to the more pretentious may be secured. Eastport commands a beautiful view of not only the bay, with the EASTPORT deep, blue ocean beyond, but of the surrounding coun- 70 Miles from New York try. It is located On elevated ground in a section full of agricultural possibilities, where already the hand of the modem scien- tific farmer is evident in the many improved country places. The Long Island Country Club located its new and beautiful home here, at the edge of one of the several lakes which add to the beauty and variety of the country. 40 Speonk takes on during the season, the activity of quite a town, SPEONK when the summer population, which returns to it each 72 Miles from New York year, is present. It has a number of cottages, and many delightful features. Westhampton, a picturesque village is the first of the famous group of summer resorts known familiarly as ' 'The Hamptons. ' ' This is the WESTHAMPTON ^^^^ °^ *^^ places to be reached on Long Island east of 75 Miles from New York Far Rockaway and Long Beach where the ocean, with its magnificent surf, may be reached by road instead of by sail across the intervening bay. The town of Westhampton is partly concealed from view at the railroad station by heavy woods, and the traveler pass- ing through upon the train gets but a suggestion of its attractiveness. The water is reached by a broad road, from which laterals lead both east and west. There are many attractive homes bordering on them occupied by summer residents. The golf links are good and admirably laid out, the surrounding country affording ample space for this popular pastime. One of the historic places here is that which was formerly tRe home of General John A. Dix, who gave the patriotic order that "If any man attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot !" The ancestral place is now the summer home of the General's son. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix. SHOOTING ON THE GREAT SOUTH BAY Quogue, a well-known seat of select society, is located upon the first undulations, which find their greatest altitude in the Shinnecock Hills. QUOGUE •'■* ^^ * delightful country, with wide stretches of open 77 Miles from New York space, and SO near the ocean that bathing is easily the predominating enjoyment of the summer season. Among the traditions to which Quogue clings tenaciously is that DeWitt Clinton and Daniel 41 Webster used to spend their vacation days here, enjoying in the fullest degree the bathing and the fishing. There are a large number of fine boarding houses and small hotels at Quogue, at which excellent board may be secured. It is a character- istic feature of this delightful place that those who have ever spent a summer here return on succeeding seasons. The golf links are fast obtaining an enviable reputation. Nature has been liberal, if not pro- lific, in its distribution hereabouts of such land as is particularly adapted to this popular recreation. Good Ground is situated almost midway between Quogue on the west and Shinnecock Hills on the east, and, from its rather elevated location GOOD GROUND Commands a beautiful view of the ocean, and Shinne- 83 Miles from New York cock Bay— which Ues to the east of Moriches Bay, and forms a part of the chain of inland waters between the ocean and the attractive main shore of Long Island. The famous Pon-Quogue light- house is at Good Ground. Its friendly light may be seen reflecting clear across the beautiful Shinnecock Bay, the Great South Beach, *and for a distance of twenty-two miles over the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear day the view from this lighthouse is a most remarkable and memorable one. Six visitors at one time may stand in the illuminating lamp. . Admission to the lighthouse is free, and the keepers extend the greatest courtesy to visitors. The entire bay - side is particularly a land of summer homes. The private residences are surrounded by spacious grounds. On every hand the charm and delight of a Long Island summer resort is promi- nently in evidence. The many hotels and excellent boarding houses afford ample accommodation for visitors. Shinnecock Hills, beyond Good Ground, is where the modem marine artist has erected his temple and brought his palette, for there are few SHINNECOCK HILLS spots anywhere which offer more tempting inspirations 86 Miles from New York for the brush or pencil. To the north the view extends over the beautiful and sparkling Peconic Bay, which has split the island at its eastern end into two portions. To the south is the peaceful Shin- necock Bay, and beyond it, and separated from it by the low-lying bar, so narrow as to be hardly visible, is the mighty ocean. Connecting the waters of Peconic and Shinnecock Bays is a canal, the original of which was cut through the sand hills by the Indians more than two centuries ago. New York State during recent years has made the canal navigable for small boats. There are near here immense willows, grown from slips brought from St. Helena, and a notable exterior decoration is a colossal wooden statue of Hercules, the weather-worn figurehead of the famous old U. S. war-ship "Ohio." In this vicinity, near the railroad track is the grave of the last of the Indian missionaries, Rev. Paul Cuflee, and not far away on the hill are the ruins of an old fort. Up to a comparatively few years ago the Shinnecock Hills had not felt the touch of modem development, and reposed quietly and peacefully in the glories of their past. A company of enterprising gentlemen, recognizing the charm of their location and the healthfulness of such a 43 spot, almost surrounded as it is by water, purchased large areas of property and began to systematically develop and improve them. There are many beautiful villas, and each season there gathers here a congen- ial coterie of summer visitors who find perpetual pleasure in the rare opportunities the place affords for all kinds of out-of-door Ufe. Golf is a popular pastime, and the links are excellent. Southampton bears upon its face so unmistakably the stamp of social approval that the most hurried glance shows that its claim to be SOUTHAMPTON "'^^ **^ ^^e most popular, and at the same time delight- 90 Miles irom New York ful resorts upon Long Island, is well founded. The impression that the region has long been tilled is not belied by its history, for it was first settled in 1640, and Job's Lane, still an avenue of travel, was opened in 1663. A number of the houses were built more than two centuries ago. Handsome villas and charming cottages owned by people prominent in the worlds of finance and art, give to Southampton a perpetual charm.

The price of land is as metropolitan as the general atmosphere of the place, and as a location for people of social instincts and wealth it is ideal. Among its notable features is the commo- dious home of the Hampton Club. There is at Southampton a number of comfortable boarding houses, where visitors who do not possess their own villas may enjoy the summer life to the fullest degree. The town is not without its old-time heroes, for it was a Southampton whaler, 45 - Mercator Cooper, who, by returning a crew of shipwrecked Japanese sailors to their native home, first invited the friendship of Japan, and made it the easier for Commodore Perry to succeed in opening the ports of that country to American shipping. Many of the old sailors who were formerly engaged in whaling still live in Southampton, and are ready to serve the visitors in their sailing and fishing excursions. The Summer Home of the Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of War, located here.

There is here a good public library and a number of churches. At Bridgehampton the south shore line of the railroad forms a Y, one line turning almost due north and terminating at Sag Harbor on Peconic Bay, and the other continuing east to Montauk almost at the tip end of the island. Sag Harbor is going down in American maritime history along with Nantucket and Portsmouth, for with them it divided honors during the SAG HARBOR years when whaling was one of the foremost of our 100 Miles from New York industries. In appearance it is the Nantucket of Long Island, and clings tenaciously to many of the quaint old customs and habits of years ago, when, as marvelous as the statement may seem, the tonnage of its harbor was as great as that of New York, and its income from the whale fishery alone was more than a million dollars a year. Its harbor used to be filled with sailing vessels of the staunchest type, and its village Ufe gay with the coming and going of hardy seafaring men. The toviTi has assumed, despite its antiquity, considerable of that which is modem, and has gas, water-works, good churches, and schools, including a convent school of more than local fame. Sag Harbor is a place of considerable importance in the manufacturing line, one of the largest watch-case and silverware factories in America being located here. It was here that the magnificent silver service presented to the U. S. Cruiser "Brooklyn" was made.

A hunting and fishing club has estabUshed itself upon the neighbor- ing shores of Peconic Bay, and here and there are numerous modem summer homes, with delightful surroundings of lawn and shade. Taken in its entirety, Sag Harbor offers many and varied attractions and is in close touch with New York by rail or water. Wainscott, east from Bridgehampton, is an ancient hamlet. Whether its natives are more fisherman than farmers is questionable ; but they WAINSCOTT certainly rival the Amagansett folk in their love of 97 Miles from New York whale catching. Some of them are descended from the thirty-five original purchasers of Easthampton township in 1649, and still live upon the land of their forefathers. Wainscott Pond and Georg- ica Lake, just eastward, are certainly among the most picturesque of Long Island lakes. The facilities afforded for sailing and fresh-water bathing, and the proximity of the ocean, which is separated from the lake only by a strip of sandy beach one-half mile long and a biscuit toss in width, give it every advantage of location. Its excellent facilities for tennis, golf, and other forms of sport, make it a delightful spot. There are a half -score or more of picturesque cottages located in the most attractive places and occupied during the summer season by their owners, who are among the best known of New York and Brooklyn's professional and business men. Easthampton, four miles eastward, has a history all its own. Every ear in Christendom has heard the tender strains of ' ' Home, Sweet Home, ' ' EASTHAMPTON ^^^ there are comparatively few who know that its 101 Miles from New York author, John Howard Payne, was born in this quiet 1 1 //ly, ■ iA:fN K •* 1 cr^fl^SB 1 IH ^^B THE JOHN HOWARD PAYNE HOUSE, EASTHAMPTON 52 little village. It was back to this peaceful, beautiful town that the thought of the wandering poet was ever turning, and it was a quaint old house, still standing, that became the theme of his world-circling song. To the sight-seeing tourist or the sojourner in Easthampton, this quaint old cottage, " ever so humble, " is one of the chief sights of interest. To myriads of the sons of men in every land and of every tongue, it has stood for home. It was in Easthampton, too, that Lyman Beecher long resided. Among others whose home or birthplace it has been, are Lion Gardiner, one of the first settlers, whose tomb is surmounted by a knight in arbor recumbent ; John Alexander Tyler, Roscoe Conkling, Rev. T. Dewitt Talmadge, and Thomas Moran, the painter of western scenery. The main street of the town, lined with splendid old trees, is over one hundred and thirty feet wide, and the beach, facing the open sea, is one of the finest on the Atlantic Coast; It was here, so the legend runs, that Europeans landed here and reconnoitered long be- fore the Pilgrim feet touched Plymouth Rock ; and the actual settlement was one of the earliest in this region. Here are found to- day many picturesque lega- cies of this olden time. Among them are three Dutch windmills, with >^mw(:^^-^-^ ' P^s';?:?:r*^*^^*N?^.^ THE WINDMILL AT EASTHAMPTON quaint arms, givingtothe landscapeatouchof Holland; asunkenpool, where the will-o'-the-wisp is said to still have its haunt ; an old burying-ground, under whose hoary stones the "fathers of the hamlet sleep" ; and an ancient seat of' learning, Clinton Academy, through whose old-fashioned- roof dormer windows 'peer curiously. But Easthampton, like many places of historic interest, lives not so much in the past as in the present day. It is the delightful home town of a refined society, and the invig- orating pleasures it offers for summer residence make it a haven for 53 MAIDSTONE INN, EASTHAMPTON those seeking escape from the city's heat and stress. There have been built in recent years many handsome summer homes at Easthampton, and each year sees the building of more modern country cottages. Golf- SEA VIEW HOUSE, AMAGANSETT 54 ing has here become very popular, and at no point on Long Island i'are the natural facilities more pronounced than at Easthampton. With the ever-cooling breezes from the ocean on the one hand and the undulating country on the other, this royal sport is gi^eatly enjoyed. The new Maidstone Clubhouse is a model of arrangement and convenience. Amagansett, a pretty village, lies to the east. It is immediately AMAGANSETT upon the ocean and is surrounded by a rich farming 105 Miles from New York • ■J.^ i ,_ j, ^ "r« region, with an assured great future. Montauk, the terminus of the railway, is situated on Fort Pond Bay. Beyond is the long, open peninsula of Montauk Point, rising to a height MONTAUK above the sea of from fifty to one hundred feet. Its u6 Miles from New York surface is rolling and wooded, and it has a number of small lakes. On its steep shore many a good ship has gone down, notwith- standing the warnings that gleam from the lighthouse. Until a few years ago there were but three houses on the long twenty mile stretch from Amagansett to the Point. The sand dunes, the hills, the unending ocean- there is a tonic in all, exhilarating alike to mind and body. Looking north over the waters may be seen the lands of New England beyond, rich in the lore of the ages. Rolling behind are the land waves of the undulating Point, lonely and dreamy. Montauk seems to be at a joining, in some mystical union of the land and the sea. It is in such a setting of sea and sky that those find themselves who journey for their summer outing to Montauk Point. After the close of the late war, the army surgeons selected Montauk, from all the magnificent coast line of America as the ideal camping ground upon which to build up our overtaxed and worn-out warriors. Here, in less than thirty days, was located a camp of thirty thousand soldiers, with their implements of war. The quiet, sheltered Fort Pond Bay at Montauk suddenly became the scene of the greatest activity; for in place of fishing boats, floating or drifting, with their lazy sails to catch the breeze, the bay was filled quickly with United States war vessels and transports hurrying from Cuba with their precious cargoes of invalids ; all energy, all rush, all hurry to reach the Meccai of rest, the land of promise— beautiful Montauk. At the extreme end of the Island stands the tall white tower of the Montauk Point Lighthouse. Its powerful Fresnel light, a gift of the French government, can reflect its rays twenty miles out to sea. Hovering over this lonely coast are many legends of Indian and pirate. Of course, the famous Captain Kidd, "as he sailed," couldn't avoid stopping at Montauk, and the bags of treasure, captured on the Spanish Main, which he is supposed to have sunk in one of the little lakes, have given to it the name of Money Pond. It was here on the Point that the famous old chief of the Montauks, Wyandance, had theseat of his abo- riginal government. The Montauks were firm friends of the whites, es- pecially of Lion Gardiner, in whom they had steadfast confidence. Their loyal good-will was a great boon to the early settlers, a fact which may have had something to do in the handing down of traditions attributing to the Indians' marvelous power over the genii of the air and water. 55 It is surely no idle fancy to say that such an abundance of tradition, always an alluring field of exploration, such wealth of scenery and such abounding opportunities to secure rest and recreation, now that the Long Island Railroad has made them accessible, will make of Montauk Point one of the great resorts of the Atlantic Coast. For building sites these hills, looking in each direction on the ocean, are unsurpassed. The Montauk Inn and the Third House and others afford ample accommodation for guests. r M. -^' :_, ,^^5SS m '^fl s 1 , W<«»»»*P«>^ »"^ ^^^§ .m3I 1 1' p---- __^ IW -;Jffi??a-i^.<,jaP'' 1 BS ■^'t^./vT' " '''™B5^ ■^^ TUB mn AT MONTAUK 57 INCE January 1, 1898, a considerable portion of New York City, both as regards population and territory, has been on Long Island. It has come about, there- fore, that many towns which have hitherto been suburbs are now included in the great Metropolis. But this fact has not deprived them of their rural beauties. Their inhabitants have the conveniences of the city while enjoying country life. Passing through the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens on the Long Island Railroad, one soon reaches Morris Park and Richmond Hill, on the way to Jamaica. The schools in these places are RICHMOND HILL excellent, and the social life wholesome. These ad- MORRis'pARK vantages are combined with accessibility to one's place 8 Miles from New York of business. Richmond Hill, with its broad streets, well-kept lawns, and comfortable homes, gives a most favorable impression to even a casual visitor. These charms are more manifest the longer one tarries, and they have boimd a growing population in most loyal fealty to the pleasant town. The location is sufficiently elevated to give excellent drainage and a fine view of the surrounding country. Richmond Hill has good golf links, and the game is exceedingly popular here. Jamaica, settled in 1656, is a happy blending of the old and new. With many interesting survivals of its early days, it possesses old-time JAMAICA features with such modem conveniences as electric lo Miles from New York lights, surface cars, and frequent train service. The town's dominant note is stability. Without lacking in progress, it still appears settled and finished. Jamaica is the railroad center of Long Island. It is the hub through which lines radiate from Brooklyn and from Long Island City to the main and southern divisions, and to Oyster Bay, Port Jefferson, Greenport, Far Rockaway, Hempstead, Long Beach, Sag Harbor, and Montauk. The town is rapidly increasing in population, having now over 9000 inhabitants. It has gained the recognition of adjacent Brooklyn, and has become a part of its thrift and enterprise. Jamaica would especially attract attention, for it presents a charming residence section. A good number of the residents are in business in New York City, and their homes are very accessible from the city center. No other town in the State affords better educational facilities than Jamaica. In addition to its several 58 primary and grammar schools it has a splendidly equipped High school. Its Normal and Training school for teachers is among the best of its kind in the country. Situated in a grove of natural forest trees on the crest of a long ridge of hills, it overlooks the town and faces the ocean. Its altitude, its spacious lawns, well-lighted and well- ventilated rooms, afford healthful and helpful environs for good work. The members of the Faculty have been selected as speciaUsts in their respective departments from those who have attained a high standard of scholarship and marked ability. Its churches are many and embrace all denominations. OVERLOOKING HOLLIS Traveling east from Jamaica, one comes to the pretty town of Hol- lis. Its pleasant dwellings are surrounded by generous yards, gay with HOLLIS *^® bloom of many flowers. There is a satisfactory 12 Miles from New York variety in the architecture, the Queen Anne style shar- ing honors with the Colonial and the modem. The founders of the town were far-sighted enough to plant many trees, giving to the broad drive- ways a grateful shade. It has a good school and a number of churches. From the ridge to the north of HoUis a splendid view is afforded, em- bracing sea and land, farm and city, and the Highlands of New Jersey far away touching the sky on the western horizon. Queens, on a rolling plain, a little farther on, is named for the county in which it is situated. It is a quiet, home-like village, whose 59 QUEENS °^^ church, standing among tall cedars, with the en- 13 Miles from New York circling fields, Combines to produce the effect of a quaint English hamlet. The good air here gives a keen edge to one's appetite, and the charming environs offer constant invitations to trips afoot or awheel. Long hills stretch across the north, forming the backbone of the island. CREEDMOOR RIFLE RANGE At Creedmoor, to the north are the rifle ranges of New York State where the State militia compete. The name of the town is coupled with rifle records the world over. Floral Park, is known far and near for the seeds and flowers that go from it. So successful has been the raising of seeds that the business has ST.

Garden City, two miles beyond, is the See city of the Diocese of Long Island, and was founded by the late A. T. Stewart. It is a GARDEN CITY religious and educational center. Grouped about i8 Miles from New York the beautiful Cathedral are a number of schools, including the famous St. Paul's school for boys, erected and endowed by Mrs. A. T. Stewart, as a memorial to her husband. It Is a splendid building, and from it through the trees the tall spire of the Cathedral is seen, exquisite in its Gothic beauty. Here is also located St. Mary's r* school for young ladies. The attractions of the town i have drawn to it many people of wealth, whose homes J make a rich setting for the religious and educational • institutions of which it is the seat. The Cathedral m is the Stewart family mausoleum. Its ecclesiastical B importance, together with the impressive 9[ beauty of its service and music, draw to it wor- ^* shippers from a large area, as far even as New York and Brooklyn. The Garden City Hotel re- cently erected is without ex- CATHEDRAL OF THE INCARNATION AT GARDEN CITY ception one of the most convenient and superbly appointed hotels in the east. This hotel is the social center of Garden City. With its baths, swimming pool, elevators, smoking arid billiard rooms, steam heat, open fire-places and running water, nothing is lacking for one's real enjoy- ment. 61 GARDEN CITY HOTEL The Garden City Golf Club stands to-day in the front rank of asso- ciations. Neither money nor time is spared to maintain the high standard attained. In Hempstead, a mile or so farther on, the old and the new are strikingly united. Its history dates back to the Revolution and beyond. POLO AT MEADOW BROOK 62 HEMPSTEAD ^°^ ^^^ Episcopal Church possesses a communion ser- 20 Miles from New York yice which was presented to it by Queen Anne. Dur- ing the Revolution the red-coats occupied the town. The hotel where Washington stayed, the old Town Hall, and some of the first houses are still standing. The very button-ball trees shading its pleasant streets are one hundred and fifty years old. MEADOW BROOK But the march of modem improvement has not passed old Hemp- stead by. It possesses the usual comforts of a latter-day town, and on^ 64 may see the historic houses by brilliant electric lights from the smoothest of macadamized roadways. The society is of the best, and many fine homes have been erected here by well-known financial men of New York City. Nearby is the Meadowbrook Hunt Club. Their meets and hunts are celebrated among the gentlemen sportsmen of the world. The main line and southern division of the Long Island Railroad are connected by a line running from Garden City to Valley Stream, on which are located West Hempstead, Hempstead Gardens and Norwood. At the outbreak of the late war, about two miles northward from Hempstead, was established the immense Camp Black, so named in honor of the Governor of the State. Here, in training, were several thousand men— infantry, artillery and cavalry. The location upon which Camp Black was established was selected by the State of New York at the commencement of the war (as was Camp Wikoff at Montauk by the Government at the cessation of hostilities) because of its splendid location, its high and dry lands and,undulating surface. It would be very difiicult to find a greater tribute to the general and specific healthfulness of Long Island than that paid by the United States Government in the selecting of both ends of the island for the mobiliza- tion and recuperation of her troops. Hyde Park, situated between Floral Park and Mineola, is a thrifty HYDE PARK little town, with fertile stretches of farm land sur- i6 Miles from New York rOUnding it. Mineola, a little further on, the county seat of Nassau County, is especially noted for its agricultural fairs held here every spring and MINEOLA autumn. At these fairs there is always a fine show of 19 Miles from New York the products and fine-blooded stock of the Nassau and Queens County farms. It is the country supporting these fairs that long ago gave Long Island a good name for its farm products. Westbury, in the slightly rolling region beyond, is a pleasant little town. On the edge of the hills are a number of handsome homes and ■WESTBURY club-houses, erected and occupied by many prominent 21 Miles from New York New Yorkers. The lands about are good to till, to tramp over, or just to own for the satisfaction that comes through a constant increase in value. Hicksville has felt the spirit of change and improvement. Its pros- perity has been reflected in many new cottages which have here been HICKSVILLE erected. There is a thriving aspect about the town, 35 Miles from New York and One has a feeling of solid comfort in looking down the shady vista of its wide, clean, main street. -65 ENTRAL PARK, though but a little town, where the 28 Miles from New York air is sweet from the fragrance of young pine woods has a bright, clean look, and its roads, leading out over leagues of level farm land, are a joy to ride upon. Farmingdale, thirty miles from New York City, enjoys a most charming situation. With the high Comae Hills on the north, churches, public schools, Schools of Technology, brick yards and factories, it FARMINGDALE ^^^ ^ pleasant and healthful surrounding, with fine 30 Miles from New York macadamized drives, and is one of the growing villages. Wyandanch, formerly called West Deer Park, located among the WYANDANCH Comac Hills, is a very desirable place for residence. 35 Miles from New York Here the woods thicken and the trees grow taller. Near by are some springs of medicinal value. Deer Park has begun to feel the stimulus of improvement. Here DEER PARK houses of the old type are beginning to be deserted, 36 Miles from New York but sound and attractive ones are taking their places. Brentwood brings one in the pine belt. It is an excellent health resort. The first sea breezes passing over the conifers absorb an BRENTWOOD elexir that brightens and invigorates. In the town is 41 Miles from New York located an extensive and attractive academy for young ladies, conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who are justly noted for their skill in conducting educational institutions. Central Islip is also in the pine belt. The prevailing conditions— pure air and clear water, in the midst of a great pine belt, make this CENTRAL ISLIP district a most favorable place foi- residence. Located 43 Miles from New York here is the great Manhattan State Hospital, one of the finest institutions in the country. Ronkonkoma, the village of the pretty Indian name, to the eastward, beyond a bit of fenland, possesses one of the real beauty spots of Long RONKONKOMA Island in Lake Ronkonkoma, a little way north of the 48 Miles from New York village. The sheen of its limpid surface sparkles like the eyes of an Indian maiden. Fed by springs at the bottom, its waters are as pure as they are clear. The lake is about three miles around, and its shores form the shape of a pear. In places it is over ninety feet deep. As a shady fringe around it are many trees, and clustered about are a number of cottages. This is the largest and finest body of fresh water on Long Island, and it is fifty-five feet above sea level. 67 NEAR LAKE RONKONKOMA Through some mystery of nature it has periods of ebb and flood, but these are not coincident with the tides or by any possibility connected with them. In the darkling depths, bass, catfish and perch disport them- selves. Floating now and again over its bosom, as if calling its Indian name, are the sounds of bells from St. Mary's-by-the-Lake. A legend has it that a phantom canoe now and again glides noiselessly over the waters bearing an Indian girl, love-lorn, and in search of the young brave to whom she has given her heart. With the dawn her birch-bark boat skims away into the ether, and the sun looks down into the mirror face of Ronkonkoma. HOLTSVILLE HoltsviUe is in the midst of fine farm lands, and here 52 Miles from New York jg located the Waverly Gun Club. Among wide stretches of plain and forest beyond is Medf ord, where MEDFORD ^ny °^^ longing for "a lodge in some vast wilderness" 54 Miles from New York can find it in this region. Yaphank, one of the queerest names to be found, is the bit of YAPHANK nomenclature to which the next town answers from 59 Miles from New York out its setting of green fields and fine old woods. Manor is the point at which the main and south shore lines of the MANOR Long Island Railroad connect, and the Peconic River 65 Miles from New York flows nearby on its eastward course toward Great Peconic Bay. Calverton, where farms and forest contend for supremacy, is also near the river. Strawberries, cauliflower, and potatoes are raised here, CALVERTON ^^^ throughout the section east to Greenport. A few 6g Miles from New York years ago cranberries were also introduced to the ter- 69 CRANBERRY PICKERS THE PARK AT RIVERHEAD 70 ritory lying between here and Riverhead. The natural facilities are so excellent for the propagation of this delicious berry that the celebrated Cape Cod berry no longer holds preeminence, excepting in quantity. No finer cranberry is produced in the markets of the United States than those grown in the neighborhood of Calverton and Riverhead. The element of picturesqueness is contributed to by the hilly surface and the woods, where dark green pines and silvery white-stemmed birches grow. Among its attractions is Canoe Lake, a charming bit of water. Riverhead contains about three thousand people, a population much augmented during a part of the year by the summer contingent. It is a RIVERHEAD pleasant, prosperous place. Views from high places about 73 Miles from New York Riverhead embrace not alone the undulating country, but the bright waters of Long Island Sound in one direction, about an hour's drive from town, and Peconic Bay in another. The bay and river are navigable up to this point for small craft. Stores, lumber yards, mills, and a cigar factory provide business. Riverhead hast a watering place too— at Flanders, about two miles away where fishing, shooting, boating and bathing are greatly enjoyed. There is also a body of water near the town with the romantic name of Wildwood Lake. Riverhead is the county seat of Suffolk County, and its executive and judicial meet- ings are held here. The permanent grounds of the Suffolk County Agricultural Society are situated in the north end of the town. 71 LONG the always beautiful and picturesque Pe- conic Bay are a number of towns and villages. The fine climate, good roads, and general attrac- tions have made them prime favorites with sum- mer visitors. The Bay itself is a beautiful body of salt water, on whose placid bosom all manner of pleasure craft may be seen during the warm months, bearing happy groups of care-free-folk. They sail or row over the blue waters in. land-locked security from the 1 1 1 PECONIC RIVER rollers of the open sea. If they wish to take a dip, good beaches offer the alluring opportunity. Aquebogue, on the north side of the bay, east of Riverhead, is situ- ated in the midst of a thrifty farming section and cultivated down to 72 AQUEBOGUE ^^^ bay-side. The Saxon half of the name, and the 76 Miles from New York general contour of the land are suggestive of Runny- mede, where the barons wrested the Magna Charta from King John. Jamesport, on the rising land, has its hills crowned with old churches and pleasant homes. This town has become very popular for summer VIEWS AROUND MATTITUCK JAMESPORT holidays, which has served as a stimulus in the erec- 78 Miles from New York ^jon of many cottages. It is situated on Peconic Bay, and has comfortable hotels and boarding houses. Its proximity to the bay makes it particularly attractive to the lovers of boating and fishing. 74 LAUREL Laurel is a pretty village, "at peace with all the So Miles from New York world. " Contentment exhales from it a fragrance, and it always has a colony of summer residents. Mattituck is located a little way down the narrow Italy-shaped peninsula into which the north side of Long Island here tapers. Both to the north and south it has fine water advantages. Having MATTITUCK comfortable and hospitable farmhouses for the enter- 82 Miles from New York tainment of visitors, it has won deserved repute as a place for summer outing. One of the diversions of sojourners here is rowing in the little creek which flows toward the Sound, and abounds in crabs. Cutchogue is a town well worthy of mention. Its ideal location and many advantages have combined to make it both unique and attractive. CUTCHOGUE Although not quite as large as its neighboring towns, 85 Miles from New York gtiH within its Umits Can be found all the features es- sential to a real country life. Both Long Island Sound and the Great Peconic Bay are within easy access of Cutchogue, and the travelers need but cast a glance at the su- perb scenery along their shores in order to be roused to expressions of praise and appreciation. The roads here, leading in either direction, are in excellent condition, of ample width, and offer a most exquisite view of charming country on either side. _^ _ Mil ■ "''"'''^^^L^ftiTri.iUB^^^^^jj.j^^i^^^^^^g'-^^ ON THE SOUND SHORE HEAR SOUTHOLD 75 Cutchogue can take pride in its neighbor New Suffolk, where the air is ever pure and invigorating, due to its delightful location, which is directly upon Great Peconic Bay. Good boarding houses abound, and everything is directed towards the entire satisfaction of the visitor. VIEWS NEAR EAST MARION AUD ORIENT Peconic, with its broad, shaded street, makes a favorable impression PECONIC ^t once, and closer acquaintance with the old town 88 Miles from New York confirms this impression. Southold, a few miles east, lays claim to antiquity in its name, and points proudly to the fact that its first settlers secured a concession from the Indians and formed a set- souTHOLD tlement as early as 1640. There is a contention be- go Miles from New York tween [Southold and Southampton, across the bay, as 76 to which is the older. In August, 18&0, Southold celebrated, with much ceremony, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its founding. The town has a center where the stores, schools, and churches are grouped, and about it the houses are scattered widely. Whichever way the wind may blow the place is fanned by a sea breeze. Greenport, at the very end of the main line of the Long Island Rail- road, is a progressive and interesting town. It has over three thousand in- GREENPORT habitants, and is both a resort and an important business 94 Miles from New York center. Steamers ply between here and Sag Harbor, New London, Conn. , Block Island, R. I. , and New York. Within the safe haven of its harbor a mighty fleet could find anchorage. The boating, sailing, fishing and shooting here are excellent, and many pleasant trips may be made awheel, afloat, or afoot. The view one gets from a bluff north of the town is expansive and exhilarating. Dancing in the sunlight are the waters of the Sound stretching away to the green shores of Connec- ticut ; to the south lies Peconic Bay, a glittering sapphire |pet between the green heights of Shelter Island and spire and roof peering through them ; to east and west the eye travels over water to the far horizon. This north prong of Long Island pushes on from Greenport beyond the pretty villages of East Marion and Orient, always attractive to sum- mer visitors, to its end at Orient Point. Here the land, which has been gradually becoming narrower, dips into the sea. .IM^^-'^m MMMB^:i>».--.T^»-^^^rlMl|-T*«^r^:,, ' ' -^■i' r . '.

Near here the Brooklyn Gun Club purchased a SMITHTOWN large tract of land, and close at hand are two trout 47 Miles from New York ponds of some twelve acres in extent. Here also are the Rassapaque and Wyandanch club-houses. They are erected upon • the Nissequogue River, and are two of the best-appointed club houses along the shores of the Sound. St. James is fortunate in its situation. An arm of Smithtown Bay with all its beauty of an inland lake lazily ebbs and flows at the foot of ST. JAMES ^^^^ pretty village. Many summer residences, costly 50 Miles from New York and attractive, have been erected here within the past few years. The Sound affords ample boating and bathing facilities, and the golf links are a never-ending source of pleasure. The entire district is composed of high and beautiful rolling land. NEAR ST. JAMES, STONY BROOK HARBOR Stony Brook is the next station reached. For rural beauty, pictur- esque surroundings, and ample facilities for a summer's enjoyment, STONY BROOK Stony Brook is unsurpassed. Situated on high, rolling 53 Miles from New York land, it affords uumerous opportunities for pleasures of a most varied nature. Heavy woodlands, beautiful groves, wide and well-kept roads are among the many attractions.

The country changes SETAUKET somewhat in character here, beiiig a succession of 55 Miles from New York hills and dales, but the highways are at all times excellent. Port Jefferson the next station beyond Setauket, is an important place, long known for its ship-yards. They are still maintained, and PORT JEFFERSON numerous craft are here repaired and fitted out for 57 Miles irom New York their voyages in the coast trade. Port Jefferson was an admirable vantage point during the Revolutionary War, and here was fitted out' a vessel on which Paul Jones achieved a portion of his reputation. Capt. Kidd rendezvoused at Port Jefferson, and at this point killed two English officers of the frigate " Nahant." The crescent shaped harbor of Port Jefferson is one of the safest on the Sound, and its shores are delightfully attractive for summer bathing. The village has good hotels and boarding houses, and boats are for hire during the summer months. Sailing parties often start from Port Jefferson for an extended tour along the Sound shores, stopping at various points of interest. A steamer plys between this place and Bridgeport, Conn., which is directly across Long Island Sound. A large tract of land on the shore has recently been purchased by capitalists, who are rapidly developing it into an attractive summer resort. From Port Jefferson the railroad passes through the attractive rural villages of Rocky Point, Miller's Place and Wardenclyffe, to Wading River, the terminus of this branch of the railroad. The immense structure erected by Prof. Tesla for the operation of his wireless telegraphic invention is located at Warden- clyffe. This whole section is high and healthful, and affords an infinite variety of beautiful water views. PORT JEFFERSON HARBOR GOLFING ON lONG ISIAND ESPONDING to the demand for land and space adapt- I ed to this royal pastime, we find Long Island in the lead. The proximity of Long Island to Nevr York, and the natural attractiveness of its golf courses, make this beautiful Island, not only a favorite, but a most delightful spot in which to enjoy this most popular of all out-door sports. Magnificent links have been made over the beau- tiful Shinnecock Hills, others over the suitable hills upon the Oyster Bay Branch, and in so many other summer resorts on the Island that Long Island is looked upon as the natural golfing ground of New York.
