Historians are not agreed as to whether, when Manhattan Island was bought from the Indians, in 1626, the price paid was $24 or $26. It is agreed, however, that Peter Minnet (or Minuit, as some insist on spell- ing the name of the first Governor of New Amsterdam) paid all the island was worth at that time. The first European visit to this locality was made by Jean Vorrazini, a Florentine navigator, in 1525. He was frightened away by a storm, and no effort was made to explore th© island until Henry Hudson explored the Hudson River in his yacht, the Half Moon, in 1609. His report led to a colony of Dutch traders coming here in 1624 and making a formal settlement. They called the future metrop- olis of the United States New Amsterdam, believing it would be a good advertisement, to name it after so Important a Dutch city as Amsterdam. In 1664 the English cap- tured the town and to add to its prestige named it New York, in honor of a then promising English city. The Dutch recap- tured the town in 1673, but did not hold it long eonugh to make a return to the orig- inal name expedient. New York grew so rapidly that at the the beginning of the Revolution it had ' about 23,000 inhabitants, and was recog- nized as the chief city of the new world. The city began preparing to render impor- tant assistance to the colonists in the war, but the British promptly took possession and held it till 1783, when the war having closed, the city was evacuated amid the en- thusiastic rejoicings of the citizens. New York was the seat of the National Govern- ment from 1785, when it was first formed on a substantial basis, to 1790. Previous to 1821, the city, officially, lay below Houston street, and, actually, mainly below Cham- bers street. Ferryboats across the rivers were first introduced in 1814, and the first regular packet sailed to Liverpool in 1817. Broadway and Vicinity. Visitors to New York are frequently in doubt as to "where to begin" to see the ob- jects of interest. Of course, much depends upon what objects are most interesting to 6 The Rectrder Guld* tf Ctiumblan Celebrttion.

One of the best starting points, if not the very best, Is at the Bat- tery, Here cluster such an interesting col- lection of historical reminiscences that no stranger can afford to leave the city with- out visiting the scene. Standing upon the sea wall of Battery Park you can get a good view of several points of Interest In the bay. Off there to the left is Governor's Island, where Gen. O. O. Howard makes his home, and the headquarters of th^ military division of th« Atlantic. Gen. Howard's residence is on the opposite side of the island and cannot be seen from Battery Park. That round, ancient and some- what dilapidated fortress on the near- est point of the island is "Castle WUliam," which was built in 1811 to protect the city from a possible attack from the British In the prospective war. The old fort was used as a prison for Confederates during the Civil War. Furthw toward the centre of the Island is Fort Columbus, shaped like a star, and solidly built of stone. On a line with the west side of Gover- nor's Island, and further down the bay, is Bay Ridge, the railroad station for Coney Island and Bath Beach. It is also a fa- vorite rendezvous for pleasure yachts. Further still down the bay Is the Narrows, with Fort Hamilton guarding the left and Fort Wadsworth the right bank. In mid- stream stands old Fort Lafayette, famous as the abode of many distinguished citi- zen prisoners during the war. Off there to the right is the statu© of Ldberty Enlightening the World. It stands on Bedloe's Island, where, in years long passed. Is was the custom and recreation of the honest citizens of New York to hang pirates. The last pirate executed In this country met his doom on Bedloe's Island. Tou can reach the island by a ferry from the Barge OfBce. To the right of the statue, on the other Island, Is the immigration depot of the United States. It is situated on Ellis Island, which was used until recently for a powder magazine. A ferryboat runs from the Barge Office to Ellis Island, and if you have time the trip will amply repay 8 The Recorder Guide of Columbian Celebration. you. as m&ny thouBand Izmnlerranta ar- rive daily. Coming back to the Battery, the moit Interesting object to nearly all visitors la Castle Garden, where probably 8.000,000 im- migrants landed In this free country. Cat- tle Garden now presents the appearance It did before It was given up to Immigrants. It is to be turned Into a mammoth aquari- um by the city. When built, the structure was Intended for a fortlflcatlon, and wa« named Fort Clinton. The fort was erected by the National Government In 1807. It was given to the city In 1823. Here were hold receptions to Lafayette In 1824, Andrew Ti l;son In 1832 and President Tyler In Later It became, the "home of music," .i:t 1 In Its now dreary walls were heard such celebrated singers as Sontag, Parodl and Jenny Llnd. Castle Garden became an Immigration depot In 1855, and continued as such until recently, when the National Government took charge of immigration affairs In this city. Around the Battery almost every lot has Its own Interesting reminiscence of Revo- lutionary days. On the site of the Wash- ington Building was the famous Washing- ton Hotel, where Gen. Washln;^ton made his headquarters at one time. The Wash- ington Building was erected by the late Cyrus W. Field, to whom the country is Indebted for the Atlantic cables. The site was. during Revolutionary days, occupied by the big residence of Archbald Kennedy, built In 1780. Here, In turn. Lord Corn- wallls. Lord Howe and Sir Henry Clinton made their headquarters before Washington got possession. Bowling Green, as the circle surrounded by an iron railing Is called, has been changed less than almost anything else in the city since the Revolution. Its dimensions are the same and the Iron fence now sur- rounding It Is the historic fence from which the knobs of the pickets were cut and used as cannon balls to fire at the British. The lead statue of King George, which was melted Into bullets by the American patriots in 1776, stood In the centre of Bowling Green. Opposite Wall street Is situated Trinity Church. The Trinity parish Is the richest The Recorder Guide of Columbian Celebration. 9 In America, having an income from Its real estate and other property of over $500,000 annually. Trinity Church was founded In 1697. It was burned down in 1776 and was rebuilt in 1788. The present Gothic structure dates from 1846. The spire is 284 feet high. Trinity is open to visitors all day. In the cemetery adjoining are buried many peo- ple famous in history. ' Wall street is the most famous centre of finance in the world. On the south side of Wall street, just beyond New street. Is one of the entrances to the Stock Ex- change. Visitors can reach the public gal- lery from this entrance, or they can go around to the front of the building, on Broad street, and ride up in an^ elevator. From the galleries a good view of the floor of the Exchange can be had. Trading is In operation from 10 to 3 o'clock daily, ex- cept on Sundays and legal holidays. On the corner of Wall and Nassau stands the United States Sub-Treasury. It oc- cupies the site of the City Hall of Revolu- tionary days. After independence was at- tained the building was occupied by the first United States Congress. It was then known as Federal Hall. Here Washington was Inaugurated President, and a statue of him by J. Q. A. Ward stands upon the spot where he took the oath of office. The pres- ent building was erected for a custom house, for which purpose it was used for many years. Adjoining the Sub-Treasury Is the Assay Office, the oldest building in Wall street. It was erected for the United States branch bank in 1825. Gold in the crude state Is here cast into bars. Visitors are admitted between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m., and you can see about ?;50,000,000 in gold bricks stacked uo. if you are curious. Further down Wall street is the Custom House. It is on the south side of the street. A block above Wall street, on Broadway, Is the Equitable Building, the most magnifi- cent structure of the kind in the country, if not In the world. It was finished in 18S7, and cost $8,000,000. Ten elevators are kept constantly busy transporting the people to and from the various floors. 10 TIm RMordtr Guid« of Columbian Ctlobratioiu In the rear of the Equitable, on Naasau ■treet. !w the Mutual Life building, aluo a noted structure. In this building is located the Chamber of Commorce. On the west side of Broadway, between Fulton and Vesey streets, is St. Paul's Church. When Gen. Waehlnfirton came to New York to be Inaugurated President of the United States he attended service In St. Paul's, and the pew In which he sat is shown to visitors by the attendants. The property is now owned by Trinity Church, which uses it as a chapel. In St. Paul's church yard there are many re- nowned people burled also. A block above St. Paul's la the Post- offlce, an immense granite building. The building was completed in 1875, at a cost of $7,000,000. The New York Postofflce handles over 800,000.000 pieces of mall mat- ter annually, and yields a profit of about $3,000,000 a year. To the east of the Postofflce is "Print- ing House Square," where all of the dally newspapers are published. In the square proper are statues of Franklin and Greeley. North of the Postofflce is City Hall Park. Facing the Postofflce is the City Hall. This nne specimen of Italian archi- tecture was erected in 1803. At that time the city was all below that point, and the citizens were so confident it would stay be- low that they did not deem It wise to waste money by making the rear of white marble. Red stone was considered pood enough for the rear of the building. It remained red stone until the present city administra- tion had the rear painted white, to corre- spond with the front of the building. In the Governor's room are the desk and chair used by President Washington. North of the City Hall stands the County Court House, also of white marble. This is the famous "Tweed Court House," and It was mainly In consequence of frauds In connection with the work on the build- ing that the Tweed ring came to grief. The Court House was built in 1869-'70. The exact cost to the taxpayers is not known, but Is supposed to be In the neighborhood of 120,000.000. lIYERPflOL m LfliniON AND GLOBE KSMANCE COMPAST, 45 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. The Rectrdtr Guide of Coiumbtan Celebration. 11 The bro'vm building beside the Court House is the Criminal Court, or Court of General Sessions, where important criminal cases are tried. The ffloomy gray building east of the City Hall is the Register's Office. It is a Revolutionary relic, having been used by the British as a Provost prison. Many Illustrious New Yorkers were Imprisoned there. Across Park row is the New York ter- minus of the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge is 5,989 feet long, the main span over the water being 1,595 feet long. The towers rise 276 feet above high water. The bridge was opened to the public May 24, 1883, and cost $15,000,000. The promenade is free, but 2 cents fare each way is charged on the cars. From the centre of the street In front of the bridge entrance a glimpse of the Tombs down Centra street ca,n be had. A Fourth avenue car will take you there is about flva minutes. The official name of the Tombs ia "City Prison." In it are confined alleged criminals who are awaiting trial and ar« not out on ball. Before the electrical exe- cution law went Into effect all condemned murderers sentenced to death by the New York courts were executed in the Tombs. A century ago Fresh "Water Pond occupied the site of the Tombs. The building ia of the Egyptian style of architecture and is considered the best specimen of that school in this country. It was erected In 1888. Across Fi'anklin street from the Tomba the new Criminal Court Building is being erected. It will accommodate not only the criminal courts, but also the District-Attor- ney and other officials of the court. On the corner of Leonard street Is the New York Life Insurance Building. Canal i treet takes the place of the old canal, which in its day was first famous as a business centre and later aus a vice centre. Fourth street, if followed west from Broadway three blocks, will bring you to Washington square. This, a rery few years ago, was the fashionable residence centre of the city. Some of the old New York families still cling to their old homea In the \icinity of the square. The newly erected Centennial Arch atands at the 12 Tht Recorder Guide of Columbian Celebratien. Fifth avenue entrance to the square, and In the centre there la a statue oif Gari- baldi, the Italian patriot. The statue waa erected by the countrymen of Garibaldi who live in this city.
