H H LlS DESCRIPTIVE 43 LONG ISLAND CITY This is an important western terminus of the Long Island Railroad. The city has a population of about 70,000 and as a manufacturing center is regarded second only to Brooklyn. The completion of the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnels to New York and the continent, together with the ultimate realization of a direct rail connection with the New England States, promises to make Long Island City an industrial city of great magnitude. WOODSIDE Three miles out; population, 2,500. This is a growing residential community. ELMHURST Four and eight-tenths miles out; population, 6,000. This is a fine old residential town, which promises to be brought much to the front after the completion of the tunnels. The village has the following churches: Methodist, Catholic, and Presbyterian. There is a branch of the Bank of Long Island located here. CORONA Five and eight-tenths miles out; population, 6,000. Has the following churches: Baptist, two Evangelical, Methodist, and two Catholic. This is a residential community. COLLEGE POINT Nine and three-tenths miles out; population, 8,500; has the following denomination of churches: Lutheran, Protestant Episcopal, Reformed, and Catholic. The village is noted for its manufacturing enterprises, mostly hard rubber goods concerns. The College Point Savings Bank has deposits aggregating $1,106,000. WHITESTONE Eleven miles out; population, 5,150; has the following denomination of churches: Lutheran, Protestant Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist Episcopal, and Catholic. The First National Bank of Whitestone is the local financial institution with $50,000 capital and $ 1 00,000 in deposits. This village, as well as College Point, is a noted resort for picnics and political outings. FLUSHING Eight miles out; population, 18,000. Has the following churches: Two Baptist, Congregational, Lutheran, Methodist, A. M. E., Episcopal, Reformed, Friends, and Catholic. There are several banking institutiors, including a branch of the Bank of Long Island and the Corn Exchange Bank; also the Queens County Savings Bank, with $2, 1 00,000 deposits. Flushing is by far the prettiest town of its size along the north shore of Long Island. It is a city in itself, including the best of schools, a hospital, library, wide and well-shaded streets, etc. MURRY HILL, BROADWAY, and AUBURNDALE These are practically all new suburban developments. It is likely that the population of these places will increase very rapidly after the tunnels have been completed. They 44 DESCRIPTIVE are all pretty places, high and healthful, and it is remarkable indeed that they have not been built up into large towns before this. BAYSIDE, DOUGLASTON and LITTLE NECK These are small places from 10 to 12 miles out. The scenery here is beautiful and these places like all Port Washington Branch towns will have a rapid growth after the tunnels are completed. GREAT NECK Fourteen miles out; population, 3,000. Has the following churches: Methodist, Episcopal, and Catholic. The local financial institution is the Great Neck State Bank, with $50,000 capital and $250,000 in deposits. This village is located in the midst of many beautiful estates. Several excellent land developments are also underway. The rolling hills, the beautiful scenery and healthful location all contribute to making Great Neck a desirable residential village. MANHASSET Fifteen and five-tenths miles out; population, 1,132. Has a Reformed, Catholic, and Episcopal Church. This place is the town-seat of North Hempstead Town. The village is located in a rolling country and is very beautiful. The trolley soon will connect this place with Roslyn and Flushing, so that its rapid growth is imminent. FLOWER HILLS and PLANDOME These are places of comparatively recent origin and are due to the opening to develop- ment of a hitherto overlooked beautiful country between Great Neck and Port Washington. PORT WASHINGTON Eighteen and two-tenths miles out; population, 3,000. Has the following churches: Baptist, Methodist, A. M. E., Episcopal, and Catholic. The local financial institution is the Bank of North Hempstead, with $25,000 capital and $460,000 in deposits. This village is the eastern terminus of the Port Washington Branch of the Long Island Rail- road, and is one of the most promising and progressive villages on that branch. The village overlooks Manhasset Bay and the streets, while for the most part narrow and hilly, are well kept and lined with several substantial business places. The completion of the Pennsylvania tunnels will undoubtedly give this village a great impetus and soon place it near the head of the list as one of the largest villages in Nassau County.

This is a large development located about a mile north of Richmond Hill. Many fine houses have already been built, and the development gives promise of becoming a popular and populous section of Brooklyn. RICHMOND HILL Eight miles out; population, 15,000. This place, while once distinctly separated from same, is now really a continuation of Brooklyn. It is entirely a residential place, there being no industries whatever. The business part of the town consists of brick buildings, while the residential part consists of detached dwellings. There are many churches, clubs, schools, libraries, etc. In every particular is Richmond Hill a desirable and highly popular place to live the whole year round. HEWLETT, WOODMERE, CEDARHURST, and FAR ROCKAWAY These are all high-class residential villages located on the Far Rockaway Branch of the Long Island Railroad. The population of these places is increasing very rapidly. The good train service with New York, close proximity to the seashore, the high-class real estate developments, are all contributing to make these places highly popular and populated. EDGEMERE, ARVERNE, HAMMEL, and ROCKAWAY BEACH These are all thickly settled seaside resorts, where the summer population is many times greater than the normal winter population. The superb beach brings thousands of people to this resort during the summer season. 66 FOREST HILLS AND RICHMOND HILL A Home at Forest Hills De Koven Street, Forest Hills Driveway in Forest Park, Richmond Hill RICHMOND HILL 67 Park Street, Richmond Hill Church Avenue, Richmond Hill Public Clubhouse, Forest Park, Richmond Hill 68 RICHMOND HILL AND JAMAICA BAY The Public Library, Richmond Hill Fulton Street, Richmond Hill The Trestle across Jamaica Bay HAMMEL AND ROCKAWAY BEACH 69 R.

Has the following churches: Two Baptist, a Congregational, Methodist, A. M. E., Presbyterian, Episcopal, Reformed, and Catholic. There are at least four financial institutions : The Bank of Long Island, with $500,000 capital and $4,500,000 in deposits; the First National Bank of Jamaica, with $100,000 capital and $300,000 in deposits; the Queens County Trust Company, with $500,000 capital and $1,600,000 deposits, and the Jamaica Savings Bank, with $3,700,000 in deposits. The Title Guarantee cind Trust Company and the United States Title Guarantee and Indemnity Company also have offices and banking facilities at Jamaica. This tov\Ti has had a remarkable growth in the past few years. Upon the com- pletion of the Peimsylvania tunnels, it will be made the terminus of the electric trains from the west, and the steam trains from the east, so that it promises to become a railroad center of great importance, with practically an unlimited number of trains to New York and the eastern points of Long Island. The Pennsylvania-Long Island Railroad has prepared plans for a $2,000,000 termineJ to be erected at Jamaica in the near future. As a whole, the outlook for the rapid development of the tov^oi is very bright, and it is likely to have double its present population within the next ten years. It is hardly necessary to say that the schools, libraries, churches, etc., are of the very best. ST. ALBANS, SPRINGFIELD. LAURELTON and ROSEDALE These places are located on the Montauk Division, from 1 2 to 14 miles from New York. They are all comparatively new developments, which promise to become important residential centers in the course of time. VALLEY STREAM Sixteen and five-tenths miles out; population, 1,200.

The officers of the savings bank are Joseph Bailey, President; and Walter S. Rose, Secretary. Patchogue is the largest village in Suffolk County, due, no doubt, to the fact that it is an industrial center.

Think of Eastport and you will think of ducks. This village is the centre of the duck growing business of Long Island. Something like a half million ducks are hatched altogether on the island in one season, and real "Long Island duck" is considered a relish of the highest order. The village school employs three teachers, with 1 1 5 students. SPEONK and REMSENBURG Seventy-one and seven-tenths miles out; population, 300. Has a Presbyterian Church.

There are already several large hotels, and the village seems to be getting more popular every year. QUOGUE Seventy-seven and three-tenths miles out; population, 600. Has a Protestant Episcopal and Roman Catholic Church. This village is a fashionable and highly popular summer resort and lies almost directly on the ocean, only about a quarter mile of meadow intervening. The local athletic association, known as the "Quogue Club," is one of the most exclusive outdoor organizations on Long Island. During the summer months the population of the settlement can be rated at about 2,500. EAST QUOGUE Located two miles southeast of Quogue; has a population of about 650.

The crops are generally very successful, being due to the peninsula being surrounded by water on all sides, from which the growing crops secure an abundance of moisture in the form of mists. PLUM ISLAND This island of about 800 acres is located about a mile east of the eastern extremity of the north fluke of Long Island and is the property of the United States Government. It is the site of an important fortification, known as Fort Terry, guarding the entrance to Long Island Sound and Gardiner's Bay. The surface of the island in most part is very rough, rocky and hilly. There are about 600 troops stationed there in time of peace. FISHER'S ISLAND This island was discovered by the Dutch in 1 64 1 and is located in the Long Island Sound, about seven miles off New London, Conn. The island is under the jurisdiction of the State of New York. It is about eight miles long and one mile wide. Fort Wright, guarding the entrance to Long Island Sound, is located on its southwestern extremity. The all-year-round population of the island is about 800. Many summer residences are located here. GARDINER'S ISLAND Population, 25. This island is reached by private boat from Greenport and covers about six square miles. Lyon Gardiner, the first Englishman who settled anywhere in the State of New York, came along in 1 639 and bought the island from the Indians for some rum and blankets, a gun and a large black dog, and his descendants have since been the owners. This island was a favorite resort of the noted pirate. Captain Kidd, and while thousands of people at many places have at various times searched for his buried treasure, this is the only place that anything was ever found. Something like $70,000 in gold, silver, jewels and merchandise was dug up by the Earl of Bellamont, Governor of Massa- chusetts, about 1701. BLOCK ISLAND This emerald gem of the ocean is a part of the State of Rhode Island and lies in the Atlantic Ocean, 20 miles east of Montauk Point, and 25 miles from the New England shore. The island is an ideal summer resort at sea, unrivaled in its manifold and unique attractions. It is about three miles wide by seven long. The natives are farmers and fishermen. There are about 50 large hotels on the island, and during the season boats from New England and New York land two or three times a day. It is said that the island, being comparatively small and far from the mainland, is an ideal resort for those afflicted with hay fever. Sword fishing is an exciting sport indulged in by both natives and visitors.

Besides a Roman Catholic Church, the village has the famed Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation, erected and endowed at a cost of nearly two million dollars by Mrs. Alexander T. Stewart, as a memorial to her husband, who founded the settlement about forty years ago. Garden City is also the location of Saint Paul's school for boys and St. Mary's school for girls, two excellent institutions in their class. About a mile to the west of Garden City proper is located the most superb land development on Long Island. Both Garden City proper and Garden City Estates have sewers, macadamized streets, granolithic sidewalks, gas — in brief, both are as beautiful, healthful and complete as nature, money and science can make them.

This village is located on both sides of Hempstead Harbor. The hills in this vicinity are very steep. There are no industries here, consequently this village, like m.ost all villages on the Oyster Bay Branch, receives most of its revenue from the entertainment of summer residents.

These are scattered suburban developments, presenting nothing unusual outside of fertile farms and delightful scenery. SEA CLIFF Twenty-six and six-tenths miles out; population, 2,200.

While the streets are for the most part narrow, they are well shaded and lined with hundreds of handsome residences. The village is situated on a high plateau overlooking Hempstead Harbor. A trolley line connects the place with the railroad station and Glen Cove. GLEN COVE Twenty-seven and two-tenths miles out; population, 5,820.

The streets of the village are paved with brick, and it has also water mains and other modern improvements. NASSAU Twenty-seven and eight-tenths miles out; population, 250. This is really a part of Glen Cove. It is nearer the residential section. The Nassau Golf Links are located here. LOCUST VALLEY Twenty-nine miles out; population, 1,600. This is a beautiful farming country, but is known more generally perhaps on account of it being the location of Friends' Acad- emy, a very popular college preparatory school.
