' ' LoNGwoRTH's American Almanac, New York Register, and City Directory " of 1828 is an unpretentious tome, with an apology from the editor for its appearance two days later than usual (July 15th), and an explanation of an increase of price, as the compilation involved great labor with an increase of 3,000 names over the preceding year. "The price charged," he states, "bears no proportion to the intrinsic value of the book and its great importance to every man in business. For, although he may lament the increase of population in the city, yet this being a cir- cumstance which he cannot prevent and one which must be attributed to the community at large, it is but proper that the public should con- tribute a due portion of the charges which thereby attend the execution of the trust, which the public pronounce him so competent to perform, " There are 31,240 names including " additional names, removals and corrections, which the purchaser is required to make in the body of the book with a pen. " The directory of streets is dignified by the title of " Runner's Vade Mecum," and the almanac with the inevitable accompani- ment of Zodiacal signs, runs until June, 1829, as a reminder that the next volume might be expected about that time. The names of some of the streets would look strange to the present generation, and when the numbers of the houses on Broadway end at 721 and Fifth Street, and on the Bowery at 366 and Fourth Street, it shows a neck-and-neck race between the two great arteries of the city, while many streets to-day familiar are mentioned as "Not opened," " Not built upon," or " Nos. irregular and confused." There was plenty room above Grand Street and the unpaved but pro- jected streets led to green fields and " driving roads " that extended "a long distance to the Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil," and Westchester was the farm-land home of many of the Huguenot families. Men who were then called wealthy, lived down near the Battery, and the Bowling Green centered a fashionable locality, with State Street, Whitehall and Marketfield to be envied for their grand outlook over the bay and harbor. Up on the west side two-and-a-half story brick houses were considered the proper thing and residents there had the advantage of the wide outlook over the Hudson and the distant view of New Jersey's verdant shores (to which it may be noted that mails to Hoboken and other places were dispatched on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays), while on the east side, up above Market Street, many of the best people of the city lived with their outlook on the East River, with Brooklyn as a town of great expectations, willing to grow without stint, and willing to (sometime) become a part of Greater New York, and take Long Island into close companionship with elevated roads and a trolley system, and a bridge for the bracelet to band the two cities together. New York in those days was bounded by limits within easy walking distance of the Battery, and politically, financially, and socially, the people who lived in it were thoughtful of its interests. The society that gravi- tated about the Bowling Green and shook hands with its uptown friends who lived in Park Place, had its reputation to maintain by an eaniest gratitude for the good things of the world that came into their possession. 7 For Bilious and Nervous disorders such as Wind and Pain in the Stomach, Sallow Skin, Giddiness, Fullness and Swelling after meals.

J. SEB OUR KXHIIilT. 10 American Institute Fair. The financial magnates clung to the vicinity of Wall Street, but the bank- ing houses were without much decoration, and it was not considered dan- gerous to the safety of the vaults and the contents of strong-boxes to per- mit lodgers in the rooms over the banks. The merchant had no less con- sideration from his friends because he lived " over the store." Up on the Bowery, where the Cooper Union now stands, was the hay- scale neighborhood and nearly opposite, Vauxhall Garden was a popular resort, where the young men ice-creamed and sherry-cobblered their fair ones. Old Saint Paul's, with its Washington pew and its Revolutionary interest, stood as a guardian of the city's morals down Broadway, and the second Trinity Church, opposite Wall Street, cast its shadows over towards the busy moneymakers, just as the present Trinity, which was commenced in 1839 and consecrated in 1846, does to-day. The "Brick Meeting House " in Park Row was the sturdy evidence of early days in the growing city. St. George's Chapel was in Beekman Street, and St. Mark's, away up in Stuyvesant Street, had dignity to support with the possible future honor of being, many years after in this busy, bustling Present, a remembrance of the Past, with the tomb of the good old wooden-legged Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam its undisputed legacy for years to come. The City Hotel, down Broadway, just north of Trinity Church, was a noted resort for politicians, financiers, and men of much distinction, and there were other noted hotels on Broadway above the Park, such as the Broadway House at Grand Street; the United States -Hotel, in Fulton Street, stood as the sea captains' favorite, and John Jacob Astor lived where the present Astor House, opened in 1836, now stands. Tea- water pumps gave the city's water supply and some of them were famous. The Manhattan Water Works, with the reservoir on Chambers Street, between Broadway and Centre, was trying the unsuccessful experi- ment of getting the water from the pumps and sending it through the city in wooden pipes, laying a better foundation for its present wealth than for the pipes intended to convey the water ; and the members of the ' ' Fire Company," comprising some of the best old men and nearly all of the young men of the city, knew what pump to go to when there was a fire to fight with the old hand engine manned by strong-armed workers who could throw a stream and keep it up. But all this was sixty-eight years ago, and the City Directory, which now includes over 400, 000 names, tells the story of what New York has grown to be since Thomas Long worth printed his book in the year that a few enterprising gentlemen met, in a small room in Tammany Hall (on the corner of Frankfort and Chatham Streets), and organized the American Institute, for which a charter was granted by the Legislature of the State of New York under the title of "The American Institute of the City of New York," in 1829, " for the purpose of encouraging and promoting domestic industry in this State and the United States in agriculture, com- merce, manufactures and arts, and any improvements made therein by bestowing rewards and other benefits on those who shall make any such improvements and excel in any of the said branches." A wide scope of usefulness was given the Institute. Expectation was the god-parent, and it started out under the direction of men who were earnest and careful. Its first Fair was held in Masonic Hall, on Broad- way, near Pearl Street, an imposing structure for 1828, with small frame 11 IS BETTER THAN A SAVINGS BANK.

American Institute Fair. buildings next it on both sides, and a row of three-story brick houses com- pleting the block on which it stood, almost half-way between the Battery and the beginning of what was then " uptown," The first trustees and officers were: William Few, president; John Mason, first vice-president; Curtis Bolton, second vice-president; Peter H. Schenck, third vice-president ; Enos Baldwin, fourth vice-president ; Anson Hayden, fifth vice-president ; and John B. Yates and John A. Sidell, secretaries; with the Fair in charge of an executive committee, composed of Joseph Blunt, H. M. Solomon, Thomas L. Wells, Clarkson Crolius, James Benedict and Oliver D. Cook, Jr. The American Institute met with prompt encouragement from manu- facturers and inventors. They made good exhibits, for there were prizes to be won by healthy competition. The Institute had opened the doors to advancement and enterprise and many States were represented in that first Fair held at Masonic Hall. New England was strong on her cottons and woolens. New York made a splendid display, and New Jersey and the South also sent exhibits. And the Fair was a good starter to the success that has carried the American Institute through its many exhibitions from the little building in lower Broadway to its Sixty-fifth Fair, in 1896, at Madison Square Garden But not only in its Fairs did the American Institute make its influence permanently felt. Monthly meetings were held in Clinton Hall, then located in Beekman Street, opposite the Brick Church property, and a room wa^ hired in Lib- erty Street for its business. The transactions of the American Institute find place in the popular libraries and many of the most distinguished men of the time took part in its debates, and in 1834 it removed to 41 Cortlandt Street, remaining two years in its parlors and then, needing better accommodations, it occupied the first floor at 187 Broadway, opposite John Street, where there was room for its library and for a repository of models that had been established. But the American Institute had planted both feet with a stubborn hold on popularity, and determined to stand there. It had grown in impor- tance, and its membership included noted men in every branch of art, science and industry. The encouragement which was its doctrine of duty had been a help to many people, and committees representing the Ameri- can Institute had been formed in several counties of the State, thus bring- ing to the front the agricultural element which needed support, and had even a wider fleld for work than some of the finer mechanical arts . Agri- culture became an art, with the Institute to aid the tiller of the soil by awards of merit and medals of excellence and superiority. While its Fairs were becoming the certainty of good accomplishments, its agricultural importance was maintained, and the exhibitions of cattle, the trials of speed in plowing, and other contests, made it famous. The announcement in 1845 for the "Convention of Farmers, Gardeners and Silk Culturists," and the holding of the Cattle Show on the ground between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth Streets, Fifth Avenue, and plowing and speeding matches as usual, with headquarters for the managers and committees at the Madison Cottage, sounds like a rumbling from the Past, when read to-day. » The Institute soon needed more space, and next, by consent of the city, until such time as the room might be required for other puri)oses, 15 OOOOOOOCKXX)OOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK>000000 o Regal Shoes are the result of liberal ideas, organized labor, best of material, combined with up-to- date ingenuity.

Tem- porary headquarters were secured at o83 Broadway, the library being stored elsewhere. The Institute soon after purchased the building, 351 Broadway, with the first floor used by the officers and a meeting room for members and the Clubs (the Farmers', organized while the Institute was in Cort- landt Street in 1843, and the Mechanics' Club, formed originally under the name of Conversational Meetings, presided over by Prof. James J. Mapes) ; the second floor for library and reading-room, and the third floor for the models. Next, in 1859, under inducements from Mr. Peter Cooper, the Insti- tute located in the Cooper Union, remaining there until 1885 when, exten- sive alterations being in progress at the Union, the Institute moved over into Clinton Hall in Astor Place (once known as the Astor Place Opera House, and the scene of the Macready riot in 1849), until 1890, when the building was torn down and the Institute removed to its present rooms, Nos. 111-115 West Thirty -eight Street, where its offices and library are now located, and the meetings of the Farmers' Club and educational Sections are held. The Annual Fairs were held at Masonic Hall until 1834, when the trend of improvement went toward "uptown," and in determining upon the selection of Niblo's Garden, the line of old-fashioned, rumbling "stages,' which ran on Broadway from the Battery to Bond Street, at the charge of a York shilling for fare, or " three for a quarter " was duly considered. Street car travel had been encouraged since 1831, when John Stephen- son, who occupied premises in Elizabeth Street for his factory, built the first street car in this country and it was run on the Bowery in connection with the business of the Harlem Railroad Company, whose engines ran down to Fourteenth Street. The picture of the car named after John Mason, then President of the Harlem Railroad, shows a peculiar vehicle. The idea was a combination of three coach bodies, each with seats facing each other, the whole being hung on leather springs, somewhat in the post-coach style. The driver's seat was on top. Contrast with the cars of to-day, turned out by the John Stephenson Company's works in Twenty-seventh Street where the venerable car builder labored until his death in 1893, and the Great City's hundreds of THE first street RAILWAY CAR— 1831. 17 1853. 1896.

The above business card of our house, as well as the historical circular presented at our 1896 exhibit, printed in the exact form as when distributed at the American Institute Fair in 1855 at the Crystal Palace, which building is represented on the opposite page, will, we trust, bring pleasing recollections to many of our early and more recent customers in New York and vicinity, who have not only used and appreciated our original parlor beds, with improvements kept well in advance of the times since 1853, but have also availed themselves of the far greater range of our original designs, reliable constructions, and careful selections in all the lines of fine artistic house furnishing. Two years prior to exhibiting our first construction of parlor beds at Crystal Palace, they had been patented in England and France and had established an international record for novelty and mechanical merit, besides being placed on exhibition at different State and other fairs, invariably receiving the highest awards and public approval. We wish, however, to call particular attention to and give full credit for the oppor- tunity of showing great durability and the practical results derived from exhibiting at the American Institute Fair of 1855, 1856, 1857, and Fair of 1858 until October 5th, when the Crystal Palace and contents, including our Secretary Bedsteads, together with patent papers, medals, diplomas and other awards were all destroyed by fire. The Secretary bed thus destroyed had been operated continuously at the above fairs for more than one hundred days, thus subjecting its working parts to more wear than would be occasioned by a century of daily changes. It was during the progress of the above severe test of durability that we and our customers derived benefit from our being convinced that without warranting our beds against wear, as above, of all kinds, we could afford to keep the working parts in repair free of any charge whatever, and this plan of doing reasonable repairs to all of the goods manufactured and sold by us has proved very satisfactory to our patrons as well as to ourselves, and it gives us pleasure to state that for all repairs, exchanges and other favors shown for more than forty years past, we have received liberal recompense by our cus- tomers recommending our reliable and artistic goods to their friends, thus helping us to a very desirable patronage. We further wish to give due credit to the American Institute Fairs for bringing us new customers who can appreciate well designed and well made goods with lasting artistic merits, and we are always pleased to give new as well as former customers reasonable credit should they desire. For further particulars see our exhibit on main floor of Exhibition, call for historical circular, and visit our warerooms, Plimpton Building, opposite Ninth Street elevated station. 18 olumMa Bicycles Standard of the World iP6pcA\fg.Ca.Hartfoni,Conii| The Columbia Nameplate represents a guarantee of quality such as is furnished with no other bicycle 20 American Institute Fair. thousands of hurrying travellers whisking around curves on the cable roads with a " Hold fast! " injunction from the conductors, is no discredit to the car that was used on the Bowery sixty-five years ago. with not so much elegance in its fittings, but quite as much comfort and safety to its passengers. Notwithstanding the expressed fear that Prince Street was too far away from the city's centre, the Fairs were a success there, and until 1846, when Niblo's was burned in September, and the Fair was held in Castle Garden at the Battery, the extreme of " downtown," when again a fear was expressed by some that it was too far away from the residential district to command fashionable audiences. Fashion did go down to Castle Garden and the Battery. It enjoyed the superb water view, had its flirtation corners on the balconies, and many wagers were made by the ladies upon the result of the regattas that were given under the direction of the managers of the Fair. The famous Whitehall boatmen contested for silver medals and diplomas, and in 1846 silver medals were won by the crew of the "Monterey " for fast rowing in a twenty-five foot boat, the "Metamoras" being beaten; while the crew of the " Rough and Ready " won a silver medal with their thirty-foot boat, and a medal was also won by William Wood and William Hiler for good rowing in the scull-boat "Whitehall," time, thirty-seven minutes from Castle Garden around Bedlow's Island and back, and the crew of the "George Washington" got their silver medal for best rowing against time from Castle Garden around Bedlow's Island and back in twenty-nine minutes. But popularity belonged to the American Institute. With advantages of the large exhibition hall, the splendid situation of Castle Garden, and the great interest taken in the exhibitions, it proved the magnet that made the Fairs important and successful until 1854, when the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations being held in the Crystal Palace, on Reservoir Square, Sixth Avenue, between Fortieth and Forty-second Streets, the Institute gave no general Fair, but united with the State Agricultural Society in giving an exhibition at Hamilton Square, Third Avenue and Sixty-ninth Street. What more fitting in location for the American Insti- tute Fair than the Crystal Palace ? After the close of the Industrial Exhibition there in 1854, the Institute secured the building for the Fair in 1855, and continued until 1858, when the immense structure and all its contents was destroyed by fire on the after- noon of October 3d, during the progress of the Fair, the conflagration being attributed to incendiaries. The heavy loss to the Institute and its exhibitors was somewhat dis- heartening, but exhibitors were enthusiastic, the managers were confident, and in 1859 and 1860, the Palace Garden, on Fourteenth Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, was used for the Fair . The exhibition in 1861 was given at the Institute Rooms in Cooper Union. There was no public exhibition in 1862. In 1863 the Fair was held in the Academy of ^lusic in Fourteenth Street and Irving Place ; in 1864 the Horticultural Exhibition was held in the Institute Rooms at Cooper Union, under direction of the Hor- ticultural Association ; in 1865 the Twenty-second Regiment Armory on Four- teenth Street near Sixth Avenue was used for the Fair. In 1S66 an exhi- bition of flowers, fruits and vegetables was held in the Institute Rooms at Cooper Union ; in 1867 the Fair was held at the Twenty-second Regiment 21 TO STICK THINGS USE MAJORS GEMENT CHEAP, QUICK AND CERTAIN.

No exhibition was given in 1868, and in 1869 the Institute secured the building known as the Empire Skating Rink, on Third Avenue, between Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth Streets, added other build- ings extending to Second Avenue, and until 1892, when the structure was demolished and the lease of the property given up, the Fairs were held in the familiar American Institute Hall. With all these changes of locality in the span of years from 1828 to 1892, the Institute held its place in the affection of the people. It had been organized by thrifty minded men, familiar with the commercial affairs and with the progress of American industry, and its list of presidents show : William Few, 1828-29; John Mason, 1830-31; James Tallmadge, 1832 to 1845, and again in 1848, serving until 1853, when he died while holding office; Mahlon Dickerson, 1846-47; Robert L. Pell, 1854-58; James Ren- wick, 1859; William Hall, 1860-65; Horace Greeley, 1866-70; William B. Ogden, 1871 ;F. A. P. Barnard, 1872-73; Orestes Cleveland, 1874-77; Nathan C. Ely, 1878-82; Cyrus H. Loutrel, 1883-85; Thomas Rutter, 1886-88; J. Trumbull Smith, 1889 96. Space does not permit special mention of the many distinguished people prominent in the government and counsels of the American Insti- tute. In every department of invention and manufacture, the noted men of the time each took his share of work and honor. Its patrons were untiring workers; its Fairs were under the control of experienced managers; its judges were selected, as now, with special fitness for their duties, and the long list of awards each year shows that the American Institute medal is valued by those who win it. 28 IMPERIAL ENGINES RUN THE SHOW.

General James Tallmadge from the time of his first election in 1832, and during his twenty years of service as President, had a steady hand upon the wheel of the Institute. Endowed with resistless energy and persistence in quiet methods for the advancement of the Institute, the members looked with confidence for the future that should make its success remarkable and enduring. Under his investigations, the silk manufacture and raising of silk worms, that had become important at Masillon, Ohio, was recognized as an industry involving heavy resources, and enlisting the attention of capitalists in the East, and, through the influence of the Institute, the first direct information as to the business was sent broadcast. Exhibits made at Niblo's Garden in 1839 were most interesting, and in the following year Burt & Loomis, inventors from Manchester, Conn., won a gold medal for the best machine for reeling from the cocoon and spinning for sewing at one operation, and Aaron Clarke, of Greenwich, Conn., received a silver medal for valuable improvements on the siik reel. Thaddeus B. Wakeman, one of the founders of the Institute, served as Corresponding Secretary, beginning in 1829, for eighteen years, dying in 1848, and the services rendered were so much regarded that the Insti- tute erected a monument to his memory in Greenwood Cemetery. Hon. Henry Meigs, always active in the affairs of the Institute, was a hard worker, and its Recording Secretary for seventeen years, from 1845 to 1861. Clarkson Crolius, Peter H. Schenck, James Benedict, Curtis Bolton, Enos Baldwin, Joseph Blunt, Thomas M. Adriance, Thomas Bridgeman, Adoniram Chandler, Joseph Curtis, Robert M. Hoe, George C. DeKay, Thomas F. De Voe, William Hall, William Inglis, Livingston Livingston, James J. Mapes, John A. Sidell, Joseph Torrey, Thomas B. Stillman, John Mason, W. P. Disosway, Andrew Williams, James Hamilton, Edward Walker, James Van Norden, Philip Schuyler, Sheppard Knapp, George Endicott, were, in the early days, identified with the American Institute and its projects. John W. Chambers, who became Clerk of the Institute in 1834 and Secretary of the Board of Managers in 1851, was a familiar and loved presence to thousands of friends of the Institute, his service being con- tinuous for fifty-nine years, until his death in 1893. Charles Wager Hull, elected to the Board of Managers in 1866, and who became General Superintendent in 1873, holding that office at the time of his death in July, 1895, was, for twenty-nine years, a most valued ofiicer. The estimation by his associates, through years of hard work and much anxiety, endeared him to everyone, and his executive ability and keen judgment were recognized factors in the Institute's best achievements. Passing over the periods that bring the American Institute to the present, a consideration of the fulfilment of its hopes may be in order. The hopes of its projectors have been realized in its giving substantial aid in the development of the products of American industry. It is not a money-making institution; has no stockholders; is governed by its Board of Trustees ; pays taxes on its property ; has but a limited appro- priation from the State as the Agricultural Society of the County of New York, and is accountable to the State for all it does, for all that it holds and owns. 25 THE PIANO is lilce thie ORGAN, the best that can be made, and the price very moderate.

It gives awards to deserving people— none for mere favoritism. There is no influence in an award but merit, and the American Institute medal is proudly held in estimation, whether it be bronze, silver, or gold. The changes that time, and locality, and the enlargement in business during all these years have wrought in methods have made changes in the Institute Fairs. There is a contrast between the Fairs of two or three decades ago and what one finds in the recent exhibitions, and the kindly faced old gentleman who became a member of the Institute when both he and it were younger, may miss some of the farming utensils, the reaper, the printing press, and many of the exhibits which he loved to look at. And the younger people humor his fancy, but miss nothing. Things change as the years go round, and people change with the aspect of the city which we live in. The New York of more than half a century ago would hold its quilted petticoat aside from contact with the flowing drapery of the modern Mistress Manhattan, and might look with suspicion upon the elevated railway, and wonder at the progress of the cable car. with the "grip" running in the slot. Castle Garden looms up again, thanks to the removal of the emigrant depot over to Ellis Island, and Castle Garden seems a link between that Past and this Present, take it for all in all. There is still about it some of the memories of the American Institute Fairs— minus the covered walk from mainland to fortress, and the row-boats passing beneath the bridge, as shown in an edition of a little paper called The Island City, framed and kept as a souvenir, at the rooms of the Institute, in West Thirty-eight Street. There are no longer green fields and shady lanes so near at hand that the cattle and the plows and all the implements of the farm may be shown. The county fair has taken its place as the camping ground for the reapers, and the threshers, and the labor-saving improvements, and the Institute does not get them as they used to. But the manufacturers know that the famous McCormick reaper made its exhibit at Castle Garden in '49, and won a gold medal for "The Virginia Grain Reaper." And that gold medal is held as a precious tribute to inventions forty -seven years ago. In the way of the world, perhaps some of the present generation might not care to inquire just what the Island City was in 1828, but much may be learned by referring to the transactions of the Institute, that are valued among the records of the State. And it may be well to remember also that to the American Institute belongs the credit of persistent peti- tioning the Legislature to create " The Natural History of the State of New York," of which the reports in the twenty -two quarto volumes published are lasting memorials to the success of efforts inaugurated and maintained by the American Institute. But the grandfathers of the present generation knew just what the American Institute was, and they have sat in their old-fashioned heirloom chairs, telling over the story of old times, and weaving the texture of reminiscence, which might be well-worn, but was never flimsy. Looking back, then, to the first Fair held in 1S28. the record of advancement of industry, science and invention is embodied in that of the American Institute, and the long list of inventions perfected and gener- ally adopted as necessities which first found encouragement and promi- nence in the American Institute Fairs, is really the list of what to day is 20 Over 13,000,000 Made and Sold.

And it is well enough to remember that in the start made in the American Institute Fairs, much that to-day makes its own history is again under the auspices of the Institute, and is only an improvement on some thing shown when New York was many years younger than it is now. Grandmother has watched her granddaughter at the sewing machine of recent years, and perhaps sighed at the change from the good old days of the quilting-bee and knitting-meeting when there was time for gossip between the stitches. When the sewing machine was first exhibited in the American Insti- tute Fair, it was looked upon as an aggressive invention, intending to take work from women's hands. But it won a gold medal, and the gold medal was deserved, and the sewing machine of to-day does its work all over the world. It aids in the household, it gives women work in the factory, and while it clicks away at lightning speed, it runs more quietly than it did when first shown at the American Institute Fairs and was regarded with suspicion. The machine for which Elias Howe filed a model in the Patent Office in 1846, the Wilson machine filed in 1850, the Singer in 1851, and the Wheeler in 1853, all made their mark, and the encouragement of the Institute given to the Singer by its gold medal in 1851 has never been disregarded in its effect of value. The foundations of many fortunes were laid in the American Institute Fair where the inventor sought recognition, and in 1837, Samuel Colt, of Paterson, N. J. , won a gold medal for the best specimen of many cham- bered cylinder rifles, and in 1842, while the same Samuel Colt was making exhibits of fire-arms in Niblo's Garden, the managers of the Fair arranged for an experiment with a marine torpedo invented by him, showing how a vessel could be blown up. A craft obtained for the pur- pose and anchored at a safe distance from the Battery, was destroyed by a torpedo, fired by electricity from Castle Garden, and another wonder entered in the catalogue of achievements be credited to the encouragement of the American Institute. The printing press, which to-day is indispensable in the march of civi- lization and accomplishment, received its early recognition in this country at the American Institute Fairs, and in 1848, Richard M. Hoe received a gold medal at the exhibition at Castle Garden for his type-revolving press, while in 1841, during the Fair at Niblo's Garden, he had been awarded the silver medal for a double power printing press, and the model which is exhibited in the Fair of 1896, representing the sextuple machine, may be justly regarded as typical of the great advancement of American inven- tion and skill which derived its impetus from the press that worked and astonished people down at Castle Garden nearly half a century ago. The first anthracite coal burning stove for which Dr. Nott was famous, gained its notoriety under the auspices of the American Institute. And the first exhibitions of Morse's telegraph, which were given at one of the Fairs at Niblo's Garden, where the wires were strung around the build- ing, and the messages sent and received, amazed the visitors, and won its notoriety and recognition through the men interested in the American Insti- tute, and ever ready to aid an inventor. But to-day, as the busy fingers of the telegraphers up in the Western Union Building touch the key and send the messages that move the wheels of trade, and wire ruin or fortune to the men playing upon the checker-board of finance, or flash the intensely 31 EXCELSIOR MACHINE WORKS.

The stocking-loom, then an invention of household importance, was encouraged by the offering of a gold medal by the American Institute. And the loom came, and the dainty ankledlady could weave her own hose, if she chose, faster than in times of yore, when love-words were whispered while deft fingers plied the needles, and the bashful suitor leaned in expec- tancy over the old-fashioned half-door. But the half-doors are no longer visible, and the lady of the present day does not undertake to knit her own hosiery, and the dainty ankle, with its silken hose, holds its gratitude to the stocking-loom, which was exhibited in the American Institute. The telephone, which has conquered time and distance by auric- ular communication and is beating the telegraph in convenience and speed, was first shown to the public at the American Institute Fair in the building on Third Avenue. The story is told of how, in the place allotted to the exhibit, where a number of receivers were placed with their trans- mitters, the wires communicating with a room of the Tribune Building, an honest old gentleman, for many years a member of the Institute, claimed that the whole thing was a fraud, and absolutely required that the floor beneath the exhibit should be taken up to show that there was nobody in the cellar talking through the hole in the box. He apologized when there happened to be a little less than three feet between the floor and terra- firma. Away back in 1839, a gold medal was given for the lifeboat exhibited as the invention of Joseph Francis, an invention which is recognized all over the world as one of the most important. They who go down to the sea in ships may not know that the boat which gives safety in event of accident, and w^hich in its perfection has been recognized at home and abroad, was first shown at Niblo's Garden, and when set afloat off the Battery, that the judges might consider the matter of the award to be given, hundreds of people expected to see it sink, and were surprised when, loaded nearly to the gunwale, it carried its freight in safety, and seemed as light to pull by skilful oarsmen as the Whitehall boats clustered around the scene of the experiment. The recognition of the invention of the cor- rugated metallic lifeboat and life-saving appliances was made by Congress under the petition by the Chamber of Commerce and the American Insti- tute, and a vote of thanks was given in 1888, and a gold medal ordered to THR MEDAL TO JOSP^PH FRANCIS. INVENTOR OF LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES. 34 American Institute Fair. be struck. A fac-simile of the medal, executed in bronze, was presented to the American Institute in May, 1894, by Isaac P. Francis, in behalf of his late father, Joseph Francis, who died in May, 1893, in his ninety third year. Naval architecture always held its own in the American Institute Fairs, as the models of vessels which were exhibited, and which passed under the eyes of such judges as George Steers, Cornelius Vanderbilt, William H. Webh. C. R. Poillion, John Englis and others, were remark- able for their beauty of construction. To many of these medals were awarded, and in 1851 George Steers received a gold medal for the model of the yacht ' ' America, " the boat that carried the American flag to victory after the Queen's Cup in August of that year. The early steamships which made the trip from New York to Europe had their models shown in the Institute, and while in those days it could scarcely be called an ocean ferry, the Transatlantic service found recogni- tion among the visitors to the Institute in discussing the probabilities of what next year's Fair might bring forth in the way of a model. And those models came, year after year, until now they have no place in the Institute Fair, for the ships that fly across the sea are built with such rapidity and the trip across is regarded as so small a venture that the yachtsmen of to-day may even take a small vessel, but none more seaworthy than the old "America," upon whose model George Steers obtained a medal. We may give the early American Institute Fairs all reverence that is due them, and recognize that the changes of time and manner of doing business make the Institute Fair of to-day somewhat different from what it used to be when the contests between the inventors of farming imple- ments were matters of a special interest, and there was room enough for the cattle shows and the plowing, and an abundance of ground that could be utilized for big show purposes. With all this, there are features of the American Institute peculiar to itself, and it stands now, as it has always stood, ready to acknowledge the best inventions and to give encouragement due the inventors. It keeps up its prestige with its reading-rooms and its library located in West 38th Street, and its Sections have their regular meetings, presided over by men of acknowledged ability and who are enthusiastic in their work. The Farmers' Club, under the direction of the Committee on Agri- culture; the Polytechnic, under the direction of the Committee on Manu- facture and Machinery, which discusses scientific subjects and examinations of new inventions, etc. , and is really the Mechanics' Club of the old days under a new name ; the Photographical Section, under the direction of the Committee on Chemistry and Optics, and the Electrical Section, under the direction of the Committee on Electricity, are all part of the working of the American Institute, with their meetings held regularly, and the dis- cussions open to everyone interested in advancement and education. The Institute of 1828, with all its helpfulness intended to be given, is the Institute of 1896. That helpfulness has been extended and its influence felt for many years. In presenting its Sixty- fifth Fair in its pre.^enr surroundings and bringing together so much of beauty and invention, it simply asks of the public that it shall be remembered as an old friend and to be always welcomed as old friends ought to be when they bring with them the pleasant remembrances of the Past, and are hale and hearty and earnest in the Present, with a Future to be accomplished without fear of any lack of encouragement, since it has been earned by hard work, through many years of service. 3.)

By dissolving this article in water we have exactly the fluid in which we immerse ourselves when we take a surf bath. The tonic and remedial effects of true sea water on many varieties of disease are so well known that it is unnecessary here to enlarge on them. For all who are weak, rheumatic, nervous or dyspeptic the salt bath at home possesses qualities so excellent that its use should be universal. This preparation.

The high repute HUMBER QuALITY now enjoys m this country, and the firm attitude taken by Humber & Co., America, Ltd., regarding the mamtenance d prices, naturally enlists the interest of the entire cycle trude of the country, as well as the general cvchng public regarding HUMBER prices, HUMBER models, and HUMBER business policy for the coming year. HUMBER Cycles have been made in Eng- land for nearly twenty nine years, and in this country for two yea rs. Every mechan- ical experiment that thoroughly trained experience could suggest, has been applied in the effoit to produce HUMBER Cycles of unapproachable quality at a figure some- what approximating the prices of Amer- ican grades. There is a point, however, where experiment is brought face to face with hard, logical facts as inflexible in their application almost as Divine Law. The mechanical appliances used for cheap- ening processes in making wheels lowers in price than HUMBER8, are not available in making so pertect a machine as the HUM- BER. Besides this, there are a large num- ber of details entering into the production of HUMBER quality that are expen- sive, but necessary. Every mechanic pos- sessing the intelligence and sRill of those employed in HUMBER factories, will read- ily appreciate the slow, painstaking care necessary through every process of manu- facturing so high-class a piece of machinery as the HUMBER Cycle. It is a piece of mechanism such as only could be the fruit- age of consummate mechanical ability ap- plied under the direction of highly intel- ligent experts. In fixing prices for 1897 models of their famous cycles, Humber & Company find thpmselves compelled as a result of their two seasons' experience, to make a slight advance over the prices they have hereto- fore placed on their wheels. HUMBER QUALITY is the first consid- eration with them, and to maintain such quality they must obtain better prices. Strict adherence to the promptings of sound business judgment would require a still greater advance than they have adopted : but they have endeavored to compromise so far as practicable in ju>tice to themselves and the mass of consumers. Following are the prices for each 1897 model of HUMBERS : Roadster S115.00 Tourist 117 50 Lady HUMBER.. 122.50 Racer 150.00 Road Tandem 180.00 Combination Tandem 190.00 These prices will be infiexibly main- tained. To insure this policy every HUM- BER agent will be required to sign a Guar- antee Bond that he will not. under any cir- cumstances, sell 1897 HUMBER8 for less than the above listed prices. 57 Medal Superiority American Institute, 1892.

Legs and Feet with Duplex, lateral, and single Arms and Hands with full finger, wrist, and elbow movement. These artificial limbs have the most per- fect movable joints. They are the strongest, lightest, and most durable. Their recommen- dation by eminent surgeons as superior, and their many severe tests of from five to ten years' wear, have proven them to be the very best in use. Their merits stand forth both at home and abroad, backed with an unparalleled list of awards of gold, silver, and bronze medals; nineteen local, and seven inter- national awards of the highest honor, includ- ing first premium at World's Fair, Chicago, 1893, and gold medal at Mid-Winter Exposition at San Francisco, 1894. Also Appliances for Shortened and Deformed Limbs. All persons who are able to walk on crutches can, by means of these latest inventions, conceal their deformity, and in most cases walk without even the aid of a cane. I also wish to state that I am the original inventor of the Artificial foot extension, for shortened limbs, which I intro- duced in 1872, cuts of which are herewith shown. Beware of imitators.
