BATTERY PARK.

 & Revenue Barge Office, but is now used for the reception of immigrants. 
 The scene here is often picturesque, with the throngs of newcomers, quaint 
 of dress and unfamiliar in their ways. 
 
 Near the high flagstaff in the Park a tablet marks the spot where stood 
 the famous Revolutionary liberty pole. When the British evacuated the 
 city in 1783 they left their flag flying from this pole, which they had 
 greased to prevent climbing it. But an American soldier. David Van Ars- 
 dale, achieved the feat, climbed the pole, tore down the British banner and 
 
 CASTLE WILLIAMS. 
 
 raised the American flag in its place. From that time to th:s, annually at 
 dawn of Evacuation Day, November 25, some descendant of Van Ars- 
 aale has hoisted the colors here on the Battery staff. 
 
 The Battery took its name from a battery which was erected here in 1693 
 in anticipation of the coming of a French fleet, Great Britain and France 
 being then at war. The Park was a favorite promenade in Colonial days. 
 At that period and long afterward the vicinity was the center of the wealth 
 and fashion of New York; and stately homes fronted the Park on the 
 north. One of these old houses yet remains, No. 7 State street, now the 
 Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary, for immigrant girls. 
 
 Just north of the Battery, at the beginning of Broadway, is Bowling 
 Green. East of the Battery, at the terminus of the elevated roads, is the 
 South Ferry, whence boats ply to Brooklyn and Staten Island. It was 
 between the Battery and Staten Island that young Cornelius Vanderbilt 
 (afterward the Commodore) sailed and rowed his ferry boat "Dread." 
 West of the Battery at Pier 1, North River, are the Coney Island boats. 
 
 Governor's Island, which lies a thousand yards off the Battery, is Gov- 
 ernment property, and is the headquarters of the Military Department of 
 the Atlantic. Its trees and lawn add to the attractiveness of the harbor. 
 The sunset gun is fired from Castle Williams. Other fortifications are the 
 antiquated Fort Columbus, in the center of the island, and the South 
 Battery. There are officers' quarters, occupied by the Commanding Gen- 
 eral and his staff, parade grounds, prison for military prisoners, ordnance 
 stores and other usual features of a military establishment. Plans are 
 "der way to make Governor's Island the chief military post of the country. 
 
Cbe Statue of Obeny. 
 
 r 
 
 The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World is on Bedloe's Island, 
 in the Upper Bay, \\\ miles from the Battery. It is reached by steam- 
 boat, which leaves the Battery hourly, on the hour, and returns on the half- 
 hour, from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M. One may obtain a satisfactory view of the 
 exterior and return on the same boat, time from Battery and return three- 
 quarters of an hour; if the ascent of the Statue is to be made, allow an 
 hour and three-quarters. 
 
 The statue is the work of the eminent French sculptor. Auguste Bar-| 
 tholdi. who in 1865 conceived the idea of a fitting memorial to be given by I 
 the French people to the United States in commemoration of the long-i 
 established good will between the two nations. Coming to America uporj 
 this mission, Bartholdi was impressed by the eagerness with which thtj 
 emigrants crowded to the rail to gaze upon the shores as the ship came upj 
 the bay. and his artist's eye recognized in Bedloe's Island the ideal site fon 
 the projected statue. Here, at the threshold of America, Liberty should 
 meet the expectant gaze of the newcomers, and uplift her lighted torch 
 before them as an emblem of freedom and opportunity in the new world. 
 The situation was well chosen. The colossal figure is an imposing object 
 as seen not only from steamships coming up the harbor, but from ferryboat 
 and bridge and rivers, and the encircling cities and hills and plains of 
 Xew York and New Jersey. 
 
 The statue is justly admired for its majestic proportions and the benevo- 
 lent calm of the countenance. It is said that Bartholdi modeled the figure 
 from his mother. The tablet bears the date, "July 4- 1776." The statue 
 consists of a shell of repousse copper (sheets of copper hammered into 
 shape), riveted together and supported by an interior skeleton of iron, 
 which was designed by the French engineer. Eiffel, who built the Eiffel 
 Tower. Provision is made for the expansion and contraction caused by 
 variations of heat and cold : and an asbestos packing is employed to insu- 
 late the copper from the iron and prevent the corrosion which would other- 
 wise be caused by the action of electricity induced by the salt air. Holding 
 her flaming torch 305 feet in air. Liberty is the greatest colossus in the 
 world, and the pedestal rests securely upon a foundation which is a

 existence. The dimensions are:

Cbe Produce exchange 
 
 The Produce Exchange, on Whitehall street (near the lower end of 
 Broadwayj. occupies a building which is one of the notable architectural 
 features of New York. The exterior is of brick and terra-coua. of rich 
 red tones; the decorations are the Arms of the States, the prows of ships 
 and the heads of domestic cattle. The structure is of immense size. 
 300 x 150 feet, and 116 feet in height, with a square tower rising 225 feet 
 from the pavement. The foundation rests upon 15.037 New England 
 spruce and pine piles driven down to bedrock and cut off below the level 
 of tide water. There are 2.000 windows, nearly 1.000 doors and 7'S acres 
 of floor space. The elevators carry more than 27.000 passengers in a day. 
 The clock face on the tower is 12 feet across. The flag is 50 x 20 feet. 
 The cost of ground and building was $3,178,645. 
 
 The elevators convey visitors to the Visitors' Gallery overlooking the 
 Exchange Room, an apartment 220 x 144 feet, and 60 feet in height to 
 the peak of the skylight. The floor space is, next to that of the Madison 
 Square Garden, the largest in the city. It affords ample room for the 
 3.000 members, and could accommodate as many more. 
 
 The business done here is the wholesale buying and selling of produce. 
 Grain, flour, lard, provisions, petroleum, oil, naval stores, seeds, butter, 
 cheese, hops, hay and straw are the principa- articles dealt in. The volume 
 of business exceeds a billion dollars a year. The long tables are for the 
 di-play of samples, upon which mam- of the transactions are based: and in 
 the corner is the oval "Wheat Pit." where wheat is bought and sold. Bul- 
 letins announce the prices current in other trade centers, and give other 
 mfoiHtatioiL " While on the floor a buyer may receive from Europe a cable 
 order for a cargo of grain, flour or provisions, may purchase what is 
 ordered, charter a vessel for shipment, engage an elevator to load the 
 grain, or a lighter to move provisions or flour, effect insurance, sell ex- 
 change, cable back the fact of his purchases, and write and mail his letters." 
 
 The membership is limited to 3.000. and is full. The initiation fee is 
 $2 500. An arbitration committee of five members settles disputes between 
 member* without recourse to the law courts. 
 
 The Produce Exchange tower affords the finest obtainable view of the 
 harbor and surrounding shores. The requisite pass may be had on request 
 of the superintendent of the building. The Exchange is open from 9 to 4. 
 
 Eraunxes' Tavern*, on the southeast corner of Broad and Pearl streets, 
 contains on the second floor the famous "long room." in which General 
 Washington took affecting leave of his officers and aides Dec. 4, 1783. 
 before proceeding to Congress to surrender his commission. The Tavern 
 was built in 1700. It was opened as a tavern by Samuel Fraunces in 
 1762. The building has been restored by the Sons of the Revolution. 
 The first floor is still a tavern; the second floor contains a display of 
 historical relics, opened Dec. 4, 1007. 
 
Che Customs Rouse 
 
 In the new Custom House, fronting on Bowling Green, New York 
 possesses the largest and most beautiful custom house in the world. The 
 building was designed by Cass Gilbert ; it is of Maine granite, seven stories 
 in height, and cost $4,500,000. It is embellished with a wealth of ex- 
 terior decoration, the motives of which are found in the world wide 
 commerce of the United States, of which seventy-five per cent, enters 
 through the port of New York. Dolphin masks, rudders, tridents, the 
 caduceus of Mercury, the winged wheel, the conventionalized wave and 
 other suggestions are of the sea and ships and transportation. A series 
 of forty-four Corinthian columns surrounding the building are crowned 
 with capitals from which look out the head of Mercury, ancient god of 
 commerce ; and in the keystones of the window arches are carved heads 
 typical of the eight types of mankind — the Caucasian, with accessory of 
 oak branches ; Hindu, lotus leaves ; Latin and Celt, grapes ; Mongol, 
 poppy ; Eskimo, fur hood ; coureur de bois, pine cones ; African. 
 
 Extending across the sixth floor of the Bowling Green facade is a 
 series of twelve statues carved from Tennessee marble. The figures are 
 of heroic size and represent twelve sea-faring powers, ancient and modern, 
 which have had part in the commerce of the globe. The subjects from 
 left to right are : 
 
 Greece (by F. E. El well) is typified by Pallas-Athene, with cuirass and 
 
 shield. 
 
 Rome (by F. E. Elwell) is a soldier of the Empire, bearing the mace, 
 and crushing to his knees a barbarian captive. 
 
 Phoenicia (by F. M. Ruckstuhl) with ancient oared galley. 
 
 Gznca (by Augustus Lukeman) is represented by Columbus ; the Great 
 Discoverer is chd in armor, with two-handed sword, and at his feet 
 crouches an open-jawed dragon, typifying the triumph of Columbus over 
 ignorance, superstition and bigotry. 
 
 Venice (by F. M. L. Tonetti) is represented by the Doge Mariano 
 Falieri, in magnificently embroidered robe, and holding the prow of a 
 gondola. 
 
 Spain (by F. M. L. Tonetti) is represented by Isabella the Catholic, 
 wearing the regal crown and royal robes on which are embroidered the 
 castles and lions of Castile and Arragon, and the Collar of the Golden 
 Fleece. Her right hand rests on a globe, the left on sculptured arms, 
 with the little Santa Maria of Columbus's fleet. 
 
 Holland (by Louis St. Gaudens) is represented by Admiral van Tromp, 
 with characteristic broad-brimmed and plumed hat, heavy boots and long 
 sword. 
 
 Portugal (by Louis St. Gaudens) is represented by Prince Henry the 
 Navigator, clad in mediaeval armor. 
 
 Denmark (by Johannes Gelert) is a woman Viking carrying a board- 
 ing pike. Other suggestions are rope and tackle. 
 
 Germany (by Albert Jaegers) is a noble idealization of Germania. On 
 her cuirass is the royal eagle, and her shield bears the name Kiel. 
 
 France (by Charles Graby), wearing the liberty cap, holds a statue 
 
 36 
 
NEW YORK. 
 
 to indicate preeminence in the fine arts, and a crowing cock proclaims 
 the Frenchman's challenge to the world. 
 
 England (by Charles Graby) is personified as Britannia with hand on 
 steering wheel, and bearing a shield embossed with the image of St. 
 George. 
 
 On pedestals advanced from the building, to the right and left of the 
 main entrance, are sculptured marble groups by Daniel Chester French, 
 representing the four continents. Each is personified as a woman, and 
 the allegory is an epitome of the development of the racial type. 
 
 Asia holds the lotus flower and in her lap is a figure of the Buddha. 
 Beneath her feet are the skulls of the victims of oppression. Her eyes 
 are closed; with passive countenance she is heedless of the prayers of 
 the kneeling Hindu, the Chinese coolie, whose arms are bound, and the 
 suppliant women bound by the injustice of the ages. A tiger glares into 
 her face. Behind her shines the illuminating cross of the Christian 
 religion. 
 
 Africa, reclining against an Egyptian pillar, is seated between a lion 
 and a sphinx. Her attitude is of drowsiness and hopelessness. 
 
 Europe is seated on a throne carved with the emblems of achievement. 
 The open book is of the mighty past, the globe is the sphere of empire, 
 the ships' prows stand for daring exploration. 
 
 America, seated on a stone covered with barbaric inscriptions, holds 
 in one hand the lighted torch of progress; the other is extended pro- 
 tectingly above a figure signifying labor. An Indian peers over her 
 shoulder, the eagle is by her side, on her 'knees rest sheaves of grain. 
 The attitude is alert, energetic, expectant. 
 
 In the center of the attic of the Bowling Green front is a cartouche by 
 Karl Bitter, displaying the shield of the United States, supported by two 
 female figures and surmounted by an American eagle with outstretched 
 wings. The sheathed sword typifies power and the security of peace ; 
 the bound bundle of reeds is emblematic of the strength of the States 
 united. A female head is carved above the entrance arch by Alfano. 
 and under the arch are the Arms of the City by the same sculptor. 
 
 The Custom House occupies an historic site. In the reception room 
 of the Collector's office a memorial inscription reads: 
 
 "On this site Fort Amsterdam was erected in 1626. Government House 
 was built in 1790 for President Washington. Here George Clinton and 
 John Jay lived. Used as Custom House from 1733 to 1875." 
 
Bowling Green. 
 
 The diminutive oval of Bowling Green, at the foot of Broadway, is the 
 city's oldest park. Its story goes back to the beginning. When the Dutch 
 came to Manhattan Island in 1626, they built Fort Amsterdam, which stood 
 where the new Custom House is now building, and the Green was the 
 Plaine reserved as a drill ground in front of the fort. A hundred years 
 later in 1732 — this was in British times — the plot was by resolution of the 
 Corporation leased "to some of the inhabitants of the said Broadway, in 
 order to be enclosed to make a Bowling Green thereof, with walks therein, 
 for the beauty and ornament of said street, as well as for the recreation 
 and delight of the inhabitants of the city." Thus the park got its name. 
 But it has been the scene of more exciting events than the most warmly 
 contested game of bowls. In 1765, on the evening of the day when the 
 Stamp Act went into effect, the indignant citizens gathered here, and using 
 the wooden fence of the Green for fuel, burned the Lieutenant-Governor in 
 effigy. When the act was repealed in 1766, the people showed their rejoicing 
 by bonfires here, and afterward ordered from England an equestrian 
 statue of King George III., which was set up in the center of the Bowling 
 Green ; and the park was inclosed with an iron fence, which had been 
 imported from England at a cost of £800. July 9, 1776, after listening to the 
 reading of the Declaration of Independence, the people came down to the 
 Green, threw the statue from its pedestal and dragged it through the 
 streets. Then, since it was leaden and represented much useful ammuni- 
 tion, it was shipped to Litchfield, Connecticut, where it was melted down 
 and run into bullets, 42,000 of them, for Patriot use; and it is recorded that 
 in subsequent engagements 400 British soldiers were killed with these bul- 
 lets. The posts of the iron railings of the Green were ornamented with 
 crowns, which were broken off that July night; and thus mutilated the rail- 
 ing is here to-day. The statue which now adorns the park is of Abraham 
 de Peyster, an ancient worthy of Manhattan, of whom most of us would 
 never have heard if he had not had a descendant. John Watts de Peyster, 
 of the seventh generation in direct descent, to erect this monument in his 
 memory. 
 
 At Bowling Green we are in the midst of one of the most important 
 business centers of the city. To the south, occupying an entire square, is 
 the new U. S. Custom House. The Produce Exchange is just across the 
 street, and on either side of Broadway tower the immense office buildings. 
 Those on the right are the Welles and the Standard Oil ; on the left the 
 Washington, Bowling Green, Columbia, Aldrich Court and Empire. The 
 Standard is the home of the Standard Oil Company. The Washington 
 was built by Cyrus W. Field, founder of the Atlantic Cable Company. The 
 Bowling Green, of Byzantine architecture, should be visited for the mag- 
 nificent marbles of its entrance hall ; at the further end of the hall a screen 
 of stained glass quaintly pictures the old-time bowling on the green.

 The chief architectural adornment of lower New York is the nobk 
 Gothic pile of Trinity Church, set in its churchyard on Broadway at the 
 head of Wall street. Its proportions have been dwarfed by the surround- 
 ing office buildings, which tower above the spire, but the dignity and beauty 
 of Trinity have in no wise been diminished ; the contrast between its rest- 
 ful repose and the turmoil of Broadway is as grateful to-day as ever; and 
 the open gate still as persuasively invites us to turn aside for a moment 
 within the twilight of its aisles, or to stroll amid the headstones where so 
 many thousands are sleeping the long sleep. 
 
 The church is the third of those which have stood here since 1697. The 
 first one was burned in the great fire of 1776, which destroyed 506 buildings, 
 and the second one, having become unsafe, was pulled down to make way 
 for the present edifice, which was completed in 1846. It is of brown sand- 
 stone, and is regarded as a fine specimen of the Gothic style. Thousands 
 of visitors to New York have in years past climbed Trinity's steeple for the 
 view, but the skyscrapers have changed that. The finial cross is 284 feet 
 above the pavement, while the American Surety Building across Broadway 
 is 306 feet, the Manhattan Life Building 348 feet, and the Empire Building 
 ?oo feet. In the belfry is the famous chime of bells. On New Year's Eve 
 thousands of people come down to Trinity to hear the chimes ring out the 
 old year and welcome the new. 
 
 The Bronze Doors which adorn the entrances were given by William 
 Waldorf Astor as a memorial of his father, John Jacob Astor. Their cost 
 was $40,000. The Central Door is by Carl Bitter. The subjects of the 
 panels are drawn from the Bible: 
 
 Genesis III. : 23-24 — The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden. 
 
 Genesis XXVIII.: 10-13 — Jacob's Dream of the Ladder ascending to 
 Heaven. 
 
 St. Luke I. : 28-38 — The Annunciation. 
 
 St. Matthew XXVIII. : 1-8— The Resurrection. (The two Marys at the 
 
 tomb.) 
 
 Revelation IV.: 6, 10, 11 — The Vision of the Throne. 
 
 Revelation VI. : 15, 16. 18 — The Opening of the Sixth Seal. 
 
 In the borders and tympanum are statuettes of the Twelve Apostles. 
 
 The North Door is by J. Massey Rhind. The subjects are: 
 
 Exodus XII. : 23— The Passover in Egypt. (A Hebrew is anointing the 
 lintel and door post with blood that his first born may be spared.) 
 
 Deuteronomy XIX.: 1-6 — The City of Refuge (to the gate of which a 
 fugitive from vengeance has just come). 
 
 Acts III.: 1, 2 — The miraculous cure by St. Peter and St. John of the 
 man lame from his birth. 
 
 Acts XVI.: 25-28 — Paul and Silas leaving the prison after the earth- 
 quake. 
 
 Domine quo vadis — The legend, as told in a sermon attributed to St 
 Ambrose, is that as St. Peter was fleeing from Rome to escape persecu-

 tion, he met his Master going into the city; and to the Apostle's Domine 
 quo vadis — "Lord, whither goest Thou?" the answer was given, "I go to 
 Rome to be crucified again." 
 
 Revelation XXII. : 14 — The blessed "enter in through the gate into 
 the city." 
 
 The South Door is by Charles H. Niehaus. The subiects are historical: 
 Hendrik Hudson off Manhattan Island, Sept. 11, 1609. 
 Dr. Barclay Preaching to Indians, 1738. Barclay was one of the 
 early missionaries supported by Trinity.

 Consecration of Trinity Church, May 21, 1846. 
 Dedication of the Astor Reredos June 29, 1877. 
 
 The interior is of impressive size. Rows of sculptured stone columns 
 support the groined roof ; the light comes in subdued and warmed by the 
 stained glass windows, and the chancel is magnificent with the superb altar 
 and reredos which were given by John Jacob Astor and William Astor in 
 memory of their father, William B. Astor. The altar is of pure white 
 marble; its face is divided by shafts of red stone into three panels; in the 
 center panel is a Maltese cross in mosaic set with cameos, with a Chri=t 
 head, and the symbols of the Evangelists. The reredos is of Caen stone 
 and alabaster. The three panels on each side and the large one in th? 
 center contain sculptures of scenes in the life of Christ ; and above a'-e 
 statuettes of the Twelve Apostles. The reredos is 20 feet high, and fills 
 almost the entire width of the chancel. Its cost was $100,000. 
 
 Trinity Churchyard. — There was a graveyard here (the site was then 
 beyond the city limits) before the first church was built in 1697. The 
 oldest grave that can be identified is in the northern section on the left 
 of the first path; it is that of a little child, Richard Churcher, "who 
 died . the 5 of . April 1681 . of . age . 5 years and . 5 . months" ; and 
 whose name, engraved on the sandstone slab, has endured through the 
 centuries with an immortality singularly in contrast with the brief span of 
 his child life. 
 
 Near the porch on the north side of the church is the grave of William 
 Bradford, Printer, who printed the first newspaper in New York — the Nczv 
 York Gazette in 1725. He died in 1752, aged ninety-two years. The stone 
 bears the injunction: 
 
 Reader, reflect how soon you 11 quit this Stage; 
 You'll find but few attain to such an Age. 
 Life's fult of Pain Lo! Here's a place of Rest. 
 Frcpare to meet your GOD, then you arc blest. 
 
 Following the path to the right, we come to a slab, lying fiat in the 
 turf, inscribed with the name of Charlotte Temple. But Charlotte Temple 
 was a creation of fiction, the heroine of Mrs. Rowson's "Charlo.te Temple: 
 A Tale of Truth." written in 1790. The story was of an English school 
 girl, who eloped with her lover, a British officer; came to New York; was 
 betrayed and deserted, and died of a broken heart. The pathetic tale took

 strong hold upon the tender sympathies of the maids and matrons of that 
 day, and has had vogue among readers of "Tales of Truth" ever since. By 
 many Mrs. Rowson's heroine has been accepted as a real person. It was 
 no wonder, then, that when, in the 40s, one of the stonecutters employed in 
 the erection of the church carved on this slab the name of Charlotte 
 Temple, the imitation tombstone laid here above the imaginary grave of 
 a fictitious character in due time became a shrine of sentimental pilgrimage. 
 Countless flowers have been laid upon "the grave of Charlotte Temple ;" 
 we may find such tributes here to-day. 
 
 The Richard Churcher headstone is directly across the path from here; 
 on the back of the stone is carved the emblem of a winged hour-glass with 
 skull and cross-bones. A few steps beyond, on the left, is the curious 
 tombstone of Sidney Breese, merchant and officer in the British army, who 
 died in 1767. The epitaph runs : 
 
 Sidney Breese June 9 1767 
 Made by himself 
 Ha Sidney Sidney 
 Lyest thoo here 
 
 I here Lye 
 Till time is flown 
 
 To its Eternity 
 
 In the northern part of the ground near Broadway stands the handsome 
 Gothic memorial commonly called the Martyrs' Monument : 
 
 Sacred to the Memory of those brave and good Men, who died whilst im- 
 prisoned in this City, for their devotion to the cause of American Independence. 
 
 During the Revolution, the regular jails of the city not sufficing to contain 
 the American prisoners, churches and sugar houses were converted into 
 prisons. Crowded into these, the patriot prisoners were subjected by 
 their British jailers to such cruelties and privations that thousands died of 
 disease and starvation; and day by day the dead were carried out and 
 thrown into trenches. Tradition has it that many were so buried here; and 
 the monument was erected at a time when the city proposed to cut a street 
 through the churchyard at this point. 
 
 On the left, as we enter at the lower Broadway gate, is the monument, 
 "In memory of Captain James Lawrence, of the United States Navy, who 
 fell on the 1st day of June, 1813, in the 32d year of his age, in the action 
 between the frigates Chesapeake and Shannon." The tribute on the 
 pedestal reads: 
 
 The heroick commander of the frigate Chesapeake, whose remains are here 
 deposited, expressed with his expiring breath his devotion to his country. 
 Neither the fury of battle, the anguish of a mortal wound, nor the horrors of 
 approaching death could subdue his gallant spirit. His dying words were. 
 "DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP." 
 
 The wife of Captain Lawrence, who survived her husband for more than 
 fifty years, lies beside him. Just beyond is the bronze statue of Judge John 
 Watts, who was Recorder of the City in Colonial days. 
 
TRINITY CHURCHYARD.

 Alexander Hamilton's tomb is marked by the conspicuous white marble 
 monument in the south grounds near the Rector street railing. On the 
 pedestal is inscribed : 
 
 To the memory of Alexander Hamilton the Corporation of Trinity Church ha3 
 erected this monument in testimony of their respect for the Patriot of Incorrupt- 
 ible Integrity, the Soldier of Approved Valour, the Statesman of Consummate 
 Wisdom, whose talents and virtues will be admired by grateful posterity long 
 after this marble shall have mouldered ; nto dust. He died July 12, 1804, 
 aged 47. 
 
 Here too is the grave of his wife, who died in 1854, after a widowhood of 
 fifty years. 
 
 But we cannot begin to catalogue the names of the distinguished dead 
 who repose here — Livingston and Lewis, signers of the Declaration of 
 Independence ; Albert Gallatin, who succeeded Hamilton as Secretary of the 
 Treasury; Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat; General Philip 
 Kearney, hero of Chantilly, whose death evoked Boker's noble "Dirge for a 
 Soldier," beginning: 
 
 Close his eyes; his work is done! 
 
 What to him is friend or foeman, 
 Rise of moon, or set of sun, 
 
 Hand of man or kiss of woman?' 
 
 If we were to tell them all, whose monuments and headstones are legible 
 to-day, there would yet remain the host whose names have been eaten from 
 the stones by the tooth of time, and the yet greater host whose resting places 
 are unmarked and whose names are unknown. Trinity's dead number 
 many tens of thousands. 
 
 From various points in the churchyard we get glimpses through the 
 trees of the great office buildings on Broadway, chief among them the 
 American Surety Building, with its gilded cornice shining against the blue 
 of the sky. On the south the stupendous fagade of the Empire Building 
 extends from Broadway to Church street; on the west is the United 
 States Express Company's Building, and on the other side of Broadway 
 are the Manhattan Life and the Union Trust. On the north rises the 
 twenty-one-story Trinity Building, its fagade stretching from Broadway 
 to Church street and rising 280 feet in the air. 
 
 The statues of the Evangelists, above the doors on the north and south, 
 were presented by William Fitzhugh Whitehouse. 
 
 Trinity Church, established in 1697, is the richest church society in 
 America. From its income of $775,000 a year it supports the parent 
 church and eight chapels (St. Paul's among them), contributes regu- 
 larly to twenty-four congregations, and maintains schools, a dispensary, 
 a hospital and a long list of charitable enterprises. The two plots of 
 real estate occupied by Trinity and St. Paul's would bring a fabulous 
 price.

 Wall street took its name from the wall which once defended New 
 Amsterdam at this point.* The wall outlived its usefulness and disap- 
 peared 200 years ago, but the name it gave to the street which ran beside 
 it has become the most famous street name in. the world. 
 
 Wall Street the place is the financial center of the country. Wall Street 
 the name is synonymous with securities, stocks, bonds and shares, trust 
 certificates, gold, money, investment, speculation, fortune, ruin. We shall 
 find here a succession of imposing bank and office buildings whose archi- 
 tectural effect is of solidity, strength and durability — qualities which have 
 their ultimate expression in the massive constructions of the Sub-Treasury 
 and the Custom House. Facing the street and filling the vista on Broad- 
 way, stands Trinity Church, its melodious belfry chiming the hours of the 
 Wall Street day. The sidewalks and the street itself are crowded with 
 alert, intent, hurrying, jostling throngs of bankers, brokers, lawyers, clerks, 
 expressmen, messenger boys, ubiquitous here as everywhere throughout the 
 city; and now and then, if we recognize him, a detective. 
 
 A few steps from Broadway, New street opens to the south in a veritable 
 Rocky Mountain canon between towering cliffs. A few doors below is the 
 
 New York Stock Exchange, the greatest market of stocks, bonds, 
 and other securities in the world. The exchange has 1,100 members ; seats 
 have sold as high as $95,000. Admission to the visitors' gallery is by card 
 from a member. The chief external feature of the exterior of the million- 
 dollar building is the Broad street fagade. 
 
 The Consolidated Exchange occupies a monumental building at the 
 corner of Broad and Beaver streets. The Curb Market of the "curb- 
 stone brokers" is in Broad street in front of the Mills Building. It is 
 a meeting place for trading in stocks, Standard Oil among them, which 
 are not dealt in on the regular exchanges. 
 
 At the corner of Nassau street is the sixteen-story Gillender Building 
 (273 feet high), and opposite is the United States Sub-Treasury, a 
 branch of the Treasury at Washington, and second in importance only to 
 the parent institution. Two-thirds of the direct money dealings of the 
 Treasury are transacted through the New York branch. The vaults con- 
 tain immense deposits of coin; the sum stored here has reached 
 $225,000,000 at one time. (Not open to inspection.) The building occupies 
 the site where stood in Colonial times the City Hall and the Capitol of 
 the Province, which afterward became Federal Hall, in which assembled 
 the first Congress. The furniture used then is preserved in the City Hall. 
 In front of the Wall street portico stands Ward's statue of Washington, 
 erected under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, and unveiled 
 Nov. 26, 1883, the centennial anniversary of Evacuation Day. The bronze 
 Washington stands where stood the living Washington when he took the 
 
 ♦The wall was built by command of Gov. Peter Stuyvesant in 1653. The palisades, 
 or stockade, extended along- the East River, from near the present head of Coenties 
 Slip, on the north line of Pearl Street, crossing the fields to the North River, on 
 the present north side of Wall Street (whence its name), and then along the North 
 River to the fort, just east of Greenwich Street, which was then under water. In 
 digging the foundation of the new Bowling Green offices, 6-11 Broadway, a large 
 number of these old posts were found many feet under the surface. Although nearly 
 250 years old, the portions found were in a wonderful state of preservation. Canes and 
 other mementoes have been made from these. — Spencer Trask in Historic New York.

 roof it is an ingeniously welded mass of stone and iron. Its essential parts 
 do not include a stick of timber. The building stands on solid rock, and its 
 roof is of stone. Its walls are from three to five feet thick, with windows 
 iron-barred and protected by steel shutters. Beneath the main floor, which 
 is of solid masonry, there are a basement twelve feet high and a sub- 
 basement about six feet in height. This sub-basement is a perfect cata- 
 comb of heavy brick arches resting on solid rock. For all purposes of 
 defense the Sub-Treasury is a fortress. Housed within its almost im- 
 pregnable walls ioo men could resist the assaults of armed thousands as 
 long as the provisions held out. In the upper part of the building there is 
 an arsenal which contains an adequate equipment for at least ioo men. 
 There are three Gatling guns, stacks of rifles, cabinets of huge navy re- 
 volvers, and moreover, a magazine full of deadly hand-grenades. For the 
 effective use of these weapons provision has also been made. Each one of 
 the steel shutters at the doors and windows contains loopholes through 
 which shots may be fired, and on the roof are three bullet-proof turrets, ten

 feet high, from which riflemen could in safely shower cold lead down 
 upon a mob. As an additional safeguard, the ceilings of the stone porches 
 at the two ends of the building are perforated, and from these points of 
 vantage, inaccessible from the streets, the defenders of the building would 
 be able to drop explosives upon the heads of any foolhardy assailants who 
 might try to batter down the doors." — New York Times. 
 
 Adjoining the Sub-Treasury is the United States Assay Office, a 
 branch of the "Mint. It is squat, dingy and insignificant in contrast with the 
 pretentious buildings which characterize Wall street. We shall entertain 
 much respect for it, however, when, under the escort of the courteous 
 guide, we have looked upon the great refining furnaces, where $50,000,000 
 worth of the precious metals are melted in a year; the hydraulic press, with 
 a pressure of 200 tons to the square foot, which compresses the refined 
 gold into $20,000 cheeses; the delicate scales, which register weights 
 ranging from a thousand pounds to a single hair from one's head, and the 
 piles of gold bricks — a $7,000 specimen of which, perhaps, we may have 
 held in our hands. When Wall Street bought England's war bonds in 1900, 
 the $28,000,000 paid for them was shipped from the Assay Office in iust 
 such gold bricks. Visitors are admitted from 10 A. M. to 3 P. M. 
 
WALL STREET.

 Further down the street, on the opposite side, is seen the National 
 City Bank Building, with its double tier of immense granite columns. 
 This is the old Custom House, which was built at a cost of $1,800,000. 
 No longer serving for the growing volume of the customs business, it 
 was sold by the Government for $3,500,000. 
 
 The streets which are near Wall street and open out from it — Cedar, 
 Pine, Broad, Nassau, William, Exchange place and lower Broadway — 
 are in ail essentials a part of it. The term "Wall Street" as meaning a 
 financial center includes them all. Though we enter the Stock Exchange 
 from Wall street, the Exchange fronts on Broad street. Opposite the 
 Sub-Treasury at the corner of Broad and Wall is the white marble 
 Drexel Building, with the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. Next to it on 
 Broad street is the Mills Building. South rises the twenty-story Broad 
 Exchange, which cost $7,500,000, and measured by floor space is the 
 largest office building in the world. Notable structures on the west 
 of the street are the twenty-one-story Commercial Cable with its twin 
 domes, the fifteen-story Johnston and the Edison, deserving of attention 
 for the richness and dignity of its facade. Turn which way we may from 
 Wall street, we shall find ourselves in a maze of deep and narrow canons, 
 for here we are in the heart of New York's high buildings. 
 
 The Clearing House, on Cedar street near Broadway, occupies a 
 building which is one of the handsomest in New York. In design and 
 adornment, the white marble structure is in fit keeping with the dignity 
 and importance of an institution whose daily transactions are regarded 
 as a barometer of the financial condition of the country. The cost was 
 $1,100,000. Visitors are not admitted. 
 
 The Clearing House Association comprises fifty-three banks (these rep- 
 resenting also numerous others), which meet here to settle their accounts 
 with one another. In the course of its business, each one of the fifty-three 
 banks receives checks and drafts drawn against some or all of the fifty-two 
 others. Instead of each one sending to collect these checks from the 
 fifty-two others, all the banks come together in the Clearing House and 
 turn in the checks drawn on each. After a system of exchange, a bal- 
 ance is struck and the sum is ascertained which each bank must pay in 
 or which must be paid to it to clear its account. By this system of 
 paying differences it is practicable to settle enormous accounts in a way 
 extremely simple and expeditious and involving the actual payment of 
 amounts which are comparatively small. Thus for the year 1899 the 
 average daily clearings (i. e., the sum of the checks presented by all the 
 banks) was $189,961,029. while the average daily balances, paid in cash, 
 were $10,218,448, or 5^ per cent. 
 
 The clerks representing the banks meet in the Clearing House at 10 
 o'clock, and the balances are ascertained by 12:30. A bank which is a 
 debtor to the Clearing House must pay its balance by 1 130 of the same 
 day, either in cash or Clearing House certificates. Banks which are 
 creditors receive checks for the balance due them the same day. 
 
 The average daily clearings for the year ending Sept. 30. 1904. were 
 $205,831,659.98. The largest daily transaction on record was the enormous

 total of $622,410,525.56, following the Northern Pacific corner. The 
 Clearing House Association is now composed of thirty-six national 
 banks and seventeen State banks, with the Sub-Treasury as a special 
 member. There are seventy-four banks and trust companies in the city 
 and vicinity not members of the association, but which make their ex- 
 changes through the Clearing House. 
 
 The Chamber of Commerce is a massive pile of white marble, in 
 the Renaissance style, with decorations in bronze. Between the columns 
 are statues of Alexander Hamilton by Martini, De Witt Clinton by French, 
 and John Jay by Bitter, and above the entrance are groups symbolical 
 of Commerce. The vestibule admits to a monumental hall and broad 
 stairway of Caen stone. Admission is by card of a member. 
 The Chamber is a magnificent apartment ninety feet long, sixty feet

 in width and thirty feet high. It is lighted through an enormous sky- 
 light in the ceiling; and the walls, unbroken to a height of twenty feet, 
 are hung with the Chamber's large collection of portraits of New 
 York merchants. 
 
 The Chamber of Commerce, organized in 1768, is an association of 
 merchants which concerns itself with questions affecting domestic and 
 foreign commerce, the welfare of the city and national interests. It has 
 had large influence in the development of the port of New York and the 
 city's growth and commercial expansion. The annual dinner given by 
 the Chamber of Commerce is an occasion of discussion of public 
 questions. 
 
$t. Paul's £bapel. 
 
 St. Paul's Chapel is on Broadway between Vesey and Fulton street-, 
 just below the City Hall Park and the Post Office. Curiously enough, the 
 Broadway end of the building is the rear, for the church was built fronting 
 on the river ; and in the old days a pleasant lawn sloped down, to the 
 water's edge, which was then on the line of Greenwich street. One effect 
 of St. Paul's thus looking away from Broadway is to give us at the portal 
 an increased sense of remoteness from the great thoroughfare and of isola- 
 tion from its strenuous life, so that all the more readily we yield to the 
 pervading spell of the churchyard's peaceful calm. 
 
 St. Paul's is a cherished relic of Colonial days. Built in 1766 as a 
 chapel of Trinity Parish, it is the only church edifice which has been 
 preserved from the pre-Revolutionary period. After the burning of 
 Trinity in 1776, St. Paul's became the parish church; here worshiped 
 Lord Howe and Major Andre and the English midshipman who was 
 afterward King George IV. After his inauguration at Federal Hall in 
 Wall street, President Washington and both houses of Congress came in 
 solemn procession to St. Paul's, where service was conducted by Bishop 
 Provoost, Chaplain of the Senate, and a Te Dcum was sung. Thereafter, 
 sc. long as New York remained the Capital, the President was a regular 
 attendant here; his diary for Sunday after Sunday contains the entry: 
 "Went to St. Paul's Chapel in the forenoon." Washington's Pew re- 
 mains to-day as it was then ; it is midway of the church on the left aisle, 
 and is marked by the Arms of the United States on the wall. Across the 
 church is the pew which was reserved for the Governor of the State, and 
 was occupied by Governor Clinton ; above it are the State Arms. The 
 pulpit canopy is ornamented with the gilded crest of the Prince of Wales, 
 a crown surmounted by three ostrich feathers. It is the only emblem of 
 royalty that escaped destruction at the hands of the Patriots when they 
 came into possession of the city in 1783. 
 
 In the wall of the Broadway portico, where it is seen from the street and 
 is observed by innumerable eyes daily, is the Montgomery Monument, 
 in memory of Major-General Richard Montgomery, of Revolutionary 
 fame. It consists of a mural tablet bearing an urn upon a pedestal sup- 
 ported by military accoutrements. General Montgomery commanded the 
 expedition against Canada in 1775, and on Dec. 31 of that year, in com- 
 pany with Colonel Benedict Arnold, led the assault upon Quebec. Just 
 after the exclamation, "Men of New York, you will follow where your 
 General leads!" he fell, mortally wounded. Aaron Burr bore his body 
 from the field, and the Englishmen gave it soldier's burial in the city. 
 Forty-three years later, in 18 18, Canada surrendered the remains to the 
 United States. 
 
 >The monument had been ordered by Congress as early as 1776. It was 
 bought by Benjamin Franklin in Paris, and was shipped to America on a 
 privateer. A British gunboat captured the privateer, and in turn was taken

 by an American vessel, and so at last the monument reached its destination. 
 
 The inscriptions read : 
 
 This Monument is erected by order of CONGRESS, 25th Janry, 1776, to 
 transmit to Posterity a grateful remembrance of the patriotic conduct, enterprise 
 and perseverance of MAJOR GENERAL RICHARD MONTGOMERY, who 
 after a series of successes amidst the most discouraging Difficulties Fell in the 
 attack on QUEBEC 31st Decbr, 1775. Aged 37 years. 
 
 The State of New York caused the remains of Mair. Genl. Richard Mont- 
 gomery to be conveyed from Quebec and deposited beneath this monument the 
 8th day of July, 1818. 
 
 At that time Mrs. Montgomery, in the forty-third year of her widow- 
 hood, was living near Tarrytown on the Hudson. Governor Clinton had 
 told her of the day when the steamboat Richmond bearing her husband s 
 remains would pass down the river; and sitting alone on the piazza of her 
 house, she watched for its coming. With what amotions she saw the 
 pageant is told in a letter written to her niece : 
 
 "At length they came by with all that remained of a beloved husband, 
 who left me in the bloom of manhood, a perfect being. Alas ! how did 
 he return? However gratifying to my heart, yet to my feelings every pang 
 I felt was renewed. The pomp with which it was conducted added to my 
 woe ; when the steamboat passed with slow and solemn movement, stopping 
 before my house, the troops under arms, the Dead March from the muffled 
 drums, the mournful music, the splendid coffin canopied with crepe and 
 crowned with plumes, you may conceive my anguish. I cannot describe it." 
 
 The most conspicuous monuments in the churchyard near Broadway are 
 those of Thomas Addis Emmett and Dr. William J. MacNevin. both of 
 whom participated in the Irish rebellion of 1798, came to New York and 
 achieved distinction, Emmett at the bar and MacNevin in medicine. The 
 inscriptions are in English, Celtic and Latin. West of the church is thr 
 urn with flames issuing from it, which marks the resting place of George 
 Frederick Cooke, the distinguished tragedian; born in England 1756; 
 died in New York 1812. The monument was erected in 1821 by the great 
 English actor, Edmund Kean, and has been the subject of pious care by 
 Charles Kean, who restored it in 1846. Edward A. Sothern in 1874 an"'

 In the high building which looks down upon St. Paul's Churchyard 
 from the south is the home of the Evening Mail; and across the church- 
 yard on Vesey street is the Evening Post. The twenty-five-story St. 
 Paul Building occupies the site of the old Herald Building, and before 
 that of Barnum's Museum. The Park Bank, adjoining, is one of the 
 largest banks in the country. On the north is the Astor House, which 
 was built in 1836 by the original John Jacob Astor. It was the Waldorf- 
 Astoria of the day, the pride of the city and the admiration of visitors, 
 and for more than fifty years held place as the most famous hotel in 
 the country. It is one of the landmarks of old New York. 
 
BROADWAY AT THE POST-OFFICE LOOKING NORTH. 
 
€ity Rail Park. 
 
 There are some of us to whom this little park is very dear; it is our 
 bit of nature — not the real country, but a symbol of it. which, as we see 
 it from day to day, tells us in miniature of the pageant of the seasons. 
 We watch the tender green of its grass in the spring, and note the 
 swelling buds and the unfolding leaves, and when the robin and the 
 oriole stop here on their northward migration we know that the birds 
 are nesting in the orchards and the village elms. When the crumpled 
 leaves strew the lawns we see in fancy the painted panorama of the 
 autumn hills; and in winter the diminutive expanses of snow are magni- 
 fied into illimitable fields shrouded in white and still in the moonlight. 
 This is the City Hall Park of suggestion. 
 
 The actual City Hall Park is the center and head of the official life 
 of New York. Here are the municipal and county buildings; the City Hall, 
 with the offices of Mayor, Marshal and Sheriff, the halls of the Council 
 and Assembly; and here are the courts with judges, jurors, lawyers and 
 litigants. Here congregate the politicians, sleek, rotund, silk-hatted. 
 Here to the Mayor's office come the Italians to be married, hundreds of 
 couples every year. The park is the stamping ground — theirs from time 
 immemorial — of the newsboy and the bootblack, and here, too, we shall 
 meet the gentleman who requests us to lend him two cents to get a 
 night's lodging. 
 
 On the west Broadway rolls its ceaseless course; on the east is 
 Park Row; on the north runs Chambers street, and on the south the 
 Post Office occupies a site which was taken for it from the original 
 Park area. Looming up above the Post Office rises the tremendous 
 bulk of the Park Row Building. Fronting the park on the east is the 
 Potter Building; adjoining is No. 39 Park Row; above and beyond it 
 the American Tract Society Building, with a restaurant on the twenty- 
 third floor, giving grand views from the windows. To the north is 
 the home of the Tribune, founded by Horace Greeley; Ward's bronze 
 statue of Greeley stands in front of the publication office. Adjoining 
 the Tribune the Sun "shines for all" from the building which was. in 
 181 1, the first Tammany Hall. High above its contemporaries, the 
 World occupies offices in the dome of the Pulitzer Building. The 
 Brooklyn Bridge here interrupts the succession of Newspaper Row, 
 but we may see beyond it the German Herold, with the herald sounding 
 his trumpet on the roof. 
 
 The open space upon which the Tribune fronts is Printing House 
 Square. Over it presides Benjamin Franklin, the patron saint of 
 Printerdom. The bronze statue is by Plassman.

 NEW YORK. 
 
 The scene in Printing House Square is characteristic of a newspaper 
 center. Crowds gather about the bulletin boards ; great rolls of paper are 
 unloading for the cylinder presses; yellow delivery wagons are scurrying 
 away with yellower extras, and newsboys and newswomen obstruct the 
 sidewalk and assail us with their shrill but not unmusical cries. If we 
 cross over to Frankfort street, between the Sun and World, in the late 
 afternoon, we shall see, in the clamorous swarms of newsboys awaiting 
 their papers, one of the sights of New York — one wonders where they 
 all come from and where they all go to after they have passed beyond the 
 newsboy stage. But the great spectacle of Printing House Square comes 
 only once in four years. It is the scene of election night, when Square and 
 Park are one surging mass of humanity gathered to read the returns dis- 
 played on newspaper office transparencies ; to shout and hurrah with delight 
 or groan and hoot in disgust as another county is heard from ; to be enter- 
 tained meanwhile by the newspaper brass bands and to entertain themselves 
 with a thousand hideous, braying horns. It is a typical New York crowd, 
 which means a good-natured crowd, an orderly crowd and a crowd of which 
 it is good to be a part. 
 
 West of the Park, on Broadway, rises the Postal Telegraph Building, and 
 next to it is that of the Home Life, whose white marble front is one of 
 the most beautiful in town. Beyond on the corner of Chambers street 
 rise the square towers of the Shoe and Leather Bank. Beside it is the 
 new Chemical Bank, with its deposits of over $25,000,000, and its shares 
 of capital stock, which, with a par value of $100, sell for more than 
 $4,000. If we happen to see a plainly dressed old woman emerge from 
 the bank it is, most likely, Mrs. Hetty Green, the wealthiest woman in 
 the world, who makes the bank her headquarters, coming here every day 
 from her little Hoboken flat. On the upper side of Chambers street is 
 the seventeen-story Broadway Chambers. The white marble office build- 
 ing opposite was formerly the wholesale store of A. T. Stewart, built 
 on the site of an old negro graveyard. Rising above it is the handsome 
 Dun Building; back of it is the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, and 
 then the American News Company's building, with the figure of the 
 newsboy on the roof. 
 
 The special architectural feature of the Park in which New Yorkers 
 take just pride is the City Hall, much admired by architects for the well- 
 balanced and symmetrical design and the purity of its classic details. It 
 was completed in 1812. The Goddess of Justice, holding her even scales 
 on the cupola, is not so ancient as that; the statue is the successor of 
 the original one which was burned when the Hall caught fire from the 
 fireworks during the great celebration of the laying of the Atlantic 
 Cable in August, 1858. The Hall is built of white marble, but the rear 
 wall is of freestone, for the builders of that day imagined that the city 
 would never go beyond this. To-day the city limits are sixteen miles 
 north. The Mayor's room is on the first floor. Under one of its windows 
 on the outside is a tablet recording: "Near this spot in the presence of

 Long, rescued from the desolation of the Arctic wastes ; and hither, in 1882, 
 from the ship which had brought him from the alien soil of Tunis, they 
 bore the remains of John Howard Payne, to the measured strains of his 
 own "Home, Sweet Home." 
 
 Back of the City Hall is the County Court House, which was built 
 during the Tweed regime, and cost $12,000,000. The bill for the plastering 
 was $3000,000, and for the furniture $1000,000. It is a very rich and 
 beautiful specimen of Corinthian architecture, particularly the handsome 
 portico on Chambers street, but it would be built for much less money 
 now. The walk between the City Hall and the Court House is called 
 "Hand-Shaking Alley," so many politic'ans meet and greet one another 
 here. The dingy little building east of the Court House was formerly 
 the Criminal Court, where tens of thousands have awaited the verdict 
 that was to set them free or send them to prison. 
 
 Across Chambers street is the new $6,000,000 Hall of Records, in 
 which provision is made for the safe keeping of the deeds of all the real 
 estate of Manhattan Island. The building is one of a group which will in 
 the future provide for the city a series of municipal buildings worthy of the 
 Metropolis. The exterior sculptures of the Hall by Bush-Brown and

 In the southwest corner of the Park, near Broadway, stands the Mac-

 in memory of Nathan Hale, a Captain of the Regular Army of the 
 United States of America, who gave his life for his Country in the City 
 of New York, Sept. 22, 1776. 
 
 In 1776. when the American troops had evacuated New York and were

 NEW YORK. 
 
 encamped on Harlem Heights, Captain Hale volunteered to enter the 
 British lines on Long Island and secure for General Washington informa- 
 tion as to the strength and disposition of the enemy's forces. He was 
 arrested, without trial sentenced to death as a spy. denied the presence 
 of a clergyman or the use of a Bible in his last hours, arid the letter he had 
 written to his mother and sisters was destroyed before his face by his 
 executioner.. In all the annals of American history it would be difficult to 
 find a more exalted sentiment of patriotism than his dying words, set here 
 in letters of enduring bronze for Broadway's passing throng to read: 
 
 "I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." 
 
 The Park has always been a common. A bronze tablet in the corridor 
 of the Post Office, erected by the Mary Washington Colonial Chapter of 
 the Daughters of the American Revolution, records that "On the common 
 of the City of New York, near where this building now stands, there 
 stood from 1766 to 1776 a liberty pole erected to commemorate the repeal 
 of the Stamp Act. It was repeatedly destroyed by the violence of the 
 Tories, and as repeatedly replaced by the Sons of Liberty, who organized 
 a constant watch and guard. In its defense the first martyr blood of the 
 American Revolution was shed on Jan. 18, 1770." 
 
 There are two Subway stations in the Park, the City Hall Station and 
 the Brooklyn Bridge Station, which is the largest on the line. A tablet 
 in the pavement in front of the City Hall commemorates the breaking 
 of ground for the tunnel construction by the Mayor on March 24, 1900.

 Grace Church, set in the bend at ioth street and closing the vista from 
 the south, is one of the most familiar and most highly cherished of the 
 landmarks of Broadway. It is a beautiful structure of white limestone, 
 with marble spire, in the Decorated Gothic, and was designed by James 
 Renwick, the architect of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Clustered about the 
 church is a group of buildings, which are harmonious with it in design ; 
 even the high wall of the business building adjoining has been made to 
 comport with the rest, and all these, with the rectory yard with its lawn and 
 shrubbery, make a picture very grateful to thousands of eyes every day. 
 The church door is always open, and to turn from the bustle of Broadway 
 into the hush of the aisles is like finding the shelter of a great rock where 
 the uproar of the wind is stilled. The interior is rich in sculptured decora- 
 tion, and the memorial windows are exquisite examples of stained glass. 
 The great chancel window has for its subject the Te Dcum; in the trans- 
 septs are the Saints, and the Patriarchs and Prophets. The altar and 
 reredos were given by Miss Catherine L. Wolfe. The porch is a memorial, 
 and so is each one of the ten bells of the chimes in the tower ; the great bell 
 bears the name of Rev. Thomas House Taylor, for thirty-three years the 
 rector. The rectory is connected with the church by Grace House, in 
 which are the vestry and clergy rooms and a library and reading room ; 
 on the south is the Chantry, where a week-day afternoon service is held. 
 Grace House and the Chantry were given by Miss Wolfe. In the rear is 
 the Grace Memorial House, given by Hon. Levi P. Morton, in memory of 
 his wife; a day nursery for small children is maintained here. In the 
 rectory yard the great terra cotta vase was brought from Rome, where it 
 was discovered 40 feet below the surface in excavations for St. Paul's

 Church. The sun dial has a pedestal fashioned from two of the pinnacles 
 of Grace Church as first built at Broadway and Rector street in 1809. The 
 present edifice was completed in 1846. A tablet in the right entrance records 
 that the church stands on ground which was owned by Henry Brevoort 
 (died 1841), who had derived it in unbroken descent from the earliest 
 colonists of the New Netherlands. It was this Henry Brevoort who in 
 1836 prevented the cutting through of nth street from Broadway to Fourth 
 avenue : his house stood in the line of the proposed street, and he success- 
 fully resisted the projected opening. The bend in Broadway at this point 
 was caused by a deflection of the street to meet the old-time junction of 
 the Bowery and the Bloomingdale road at a point now at Broadway and 
 17th street. 
 
 Between Ninth and Tenth streets is Wanamaker's, and on the block 
 below the immense new Wanamaker building, the largest department store 
 in the city.

Union Square. 
 
 For the pauper and the stranger dead there must be potter's fields. To 
 the successive reservations of such burial places on Manhattan Island 
 we owe Washington, Union and Madison squares and Bryant Park. Each 
 of them lay originally beyond the city limits, was overtaken by the growth 
 of the town, and its use was abandoned ; then each in time became a 
 public park with trees and lawns and winding walks and fountains and 
 flowers and statues and nursemaids and children. 
 
 Union Square lies between Broadway and Fourth avenue. Fourteenth 
 and Seventeenth streets. Broadway makes a bend here, and the cars go 
 around a sharp curve, to which the disasters of the early days of the cable 
 system gave the significant name of "Deadman's Curve." Here southeast 
 of the park stands H. K. Browne's bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln. 
 The curb bears the words of the Gettysburg speech : "With malice toward 
 none, with charity for all." Across the Square, the equestrian bronze statue 
 of Washington (by the same sculptor) stands close by the spot where 
 General Washington was received by the citizens when he entered the 
 city on its evacuation by the British, Nov. 25, 1783. The Blackfoot In- 
 dian, Bear Chief, when he looked upon this statue, saw in Washing- 
 ton's outstretched hand the Indian warrior's sign for "Peace." Facing 
 south on Broadway is the statue of Lafayette, which was erected by 
 French residents in 1876, with the dedication: "To the City of New York. 
 France, in remembrance of sympathy in time of trial, 1870-71." The ref- 
 erence is to the period of the Franco-Prussian War. Lafayette is repre- 
 sented as offering his sword to America, 1776; and his words are engraved 
 on the pedestal : "As soon as I heard of American Independence, my 
 heart was enlisted." The bronze statue is by Bartholdi, of Statue of 
 Liberty fame. In the west of the Square is the James Fountain, designed 
 by Donndorf, "made in Germany," and given to the city by D. Willis 
 James. It is a much admired bronze group of a mother and her two 
 children. The fountain in the center of the Square flowed for the first 
 time Oct. 14. 1842. on the occasion of the Croton Water Celebration, when 
 a procession seven miles long filed past it in review by Governor .Seward. 
 In season there is in the basin a fine display of water lilies. Union Square is 
 a shopping center. Facing it on Broadway are office buildings and elegant 
 shops. Fourteenth street leads west to the Fifth avenue and Sixth avenue 
 shopping districts; east to the Academy of Music and Tammany Hall. 
 Tammany Hall is owned by the Tammany Society, a benevolent organiza- 
 tion founded in 1789. It took the name from Tammany, a friendly and 
 popular chief of the Delaware tribe of Indians ; and it was this chief, who 
 gave to one of the tribes for a totem the tiger, which was afterward adopted 
 by the Tammany Society. The Tammany Hall General Committee is a 
 political organization which occupies Tammany Hall as headquarters; it 
 is distinct from the Tammany Society.

madison Square. 
 
 Madison Square is in the heart of New York. Its fJoundaries are 
 Broadway, here at a most brilliant point; Fifth and Madison avenues, 
 names synonymous with wealth and fashion, and Twenty-third street, 
 the most important crosstown thoroughfare in the central part of the 
 city. Beautiful as a park, with its trees and lawns and fountain and 
 statues, the Square is set amid distinguished surroundings. On the west 
 are the Fifth Avenue Building, on the Fifth Avenue Hotel site, the 
 Albemarle Hotel and the Hoffman House. On the northeast the 
 Madison Square Garden lifts its graceful tower 357 feet in air, with the 
 gilded Diana poised on the pinnacle. On the east is the Appellate Court 
 House, described on a following page. The new edifice of the Madison 
 Avenue Presbyterian Church (the pulpit of Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst) 
 with its massive columned portico, tiled dome and gold lantern is in 
 architectural design and liberal use of color a noteworthy departure 
 from the Gothic style of the old church, with spire dwarfed by the 
 surrounding skyscrapers. The Metropolitan Life's stately home at 
 Twenty-third street is one of the largest office buildings in existence; 
 one should not fail to see the white marble court at the Madison Square 
 entrance and the great central hall. 
 
 On the south, at Broadway and Twenty-third street, is the "Flatiron" 
 Building, described on a previous page. Across Broadway is the Hotel 
 Bartholdi, and adjoining it the American Art Galleries. On Twenty-sixth 
 street, at Madison avenue, are the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to 
 Animals and the Manhattan Club, a leading Democratic organization. 
 North on Broadway are seen the lofty Townsend and St. James buildings. 
 
 In the northeast corner of the Square is Bissell's bronze statue of 
 Chester Alan Arthur, Twenty-first President of the United States of 
 America. Vice-President Arthur succeeded to the Presidency after the 
 assassination of President Garfield in 1881. In the southwest, near Twenty- 
 third street, is the statue of Roscoe Conkling, Senator from New York, 
 1867-81. The figure is of bronze, by Ward, and represents the orator in the 
 attitude so familiar to his audiences ; we may hear him as when in a 
 political convention he stilled the opposition uproar with the words, 
 "The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb." The memorial was erected 
 by friends on the spot where bewildered and overcome in the terrible 
 blizzard of March 12, 1888, he fell exhausted, and suffered exposure which 
 resulted in his death. Conkling and Arthur were closely associated in 
 public life and were warm friends; it is a suggestive fact that the chance 
 circumstance of a winter's storm should have caused their memorials to 
 be given place here so near together. 
 
 The drinking fountain at the southeast corner, designed by Miss Emma 
 Stebbins, was given by Miss Catherine Lorillard Wolfe, whose benefac- 
 tions to New York's religious, educational, art and charitable objects 
 aggregated $2,000,000. 
 
 The memorial of William H. Seward occupies a conspicuous position 
 in the southwest facing Broadway. It is of bronze, by Randolph Rogers, 
 and represents the statesman seated in a Senatorial chair, with pen in hand. 
 Those who knew the living Seward aver that the legs were not the 
 prominent features here presented; on the contrary, he is spoken of as a 
 man who was "all head and no legs." Seward was Governor of New

 The most notable adornment of the Square, and the one which ranks I 
 as one of the best examples of contemporary sculpture possessed by the 
 city, is the memorial of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, by Augustus, 
 St. Gaudens. It stands in the northwest corner of the Square, facing Fifth 
 avenue. The Admiral is represented as standing upon the deck of his ship, 
 with field-glass in hand, and coat-skirt flying in the wind. The sturdy pose! 
 and erect, rugged figure give fine expression to the character of the man 
 who took the fleet past the forts in Mobile Bay, and "whose name will 
 ever stir like a trumpet the hearts of his grateful countrymen." The 
 pedestal, designed by Stanford White, is in the form of a bench with high] 
 curving back; in the center is an admiral's sword; waving lines suggest]

 he sea, and on either side are graceful female figures in low relief personi- 
 ying Courage and Patriotism. The memorial inscription reads: 
 
 That the memory of a daring and sagacious commander and gentle great-souled 
 man, whose life from childhood was given to his country, but who served her 
 supremely in the war for the Union, 186 1-1865, may be preserved and honored; 
 and that they who come after him and who will love him so much may see him as 
 he was seen by friend and foe, his countrymen have set up this monument A. D. 
 MDCCCLXXXI. 
 
 The chief events of Farragut's life are outlined in the biographical in- 
 cription, which reads : 
 
 Born near Knoxville, Tennessee, July 5, 180L Midshipman, 1810. Battle of Essex and 
 'hoebe, March 28, 1814. Lieutenant, 1825. Commander, 1851. Captain, 1855. Battle of 
 Tew Orleans, April 23, 1862. Rear-Admiral, 1862 Battle of Mobile Bay, August 5, 1864. 
 r ice-Admiral, December 23, 1864. First Admiral of the United States of America, July 26, 
 866. Died at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, August 4, 1870. 
 
 The statue was presented by the Farragut Memorial Association. An 
 nteresting circumstance of the dedication in 1881 was the presence of three 
 )f the sailors of the Hartford. At the moment of presentation, John H. 
 Snowies, the sailor who lashed Farragut to the mast in >he battle of 
 Mobile Bay, assisted by J. B. Millner, who was also on the flagship Hart- 
 lord, drew aside the drapings from the statue ; and B. S. Osborne, the sailor 
 vho hoisted the colors of the flagship as she entered the engagement, dis- 
 played an admiral's flag as a signal for an admiral's salute of seventeen 
 juns. 
 
 Opposite the Farragut statue, in the triangular plot at the parting of 
 Broadway and Fifth avenue, is the Worth Monument, erected by the 
 :ity in 1857 over the tomb of Major-General William Jenkins Worth, a 
 nero of the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. General Worth was the 
 first to plant the flag of the United States on the Rio Grande, and the 
 first to enter the City of Mexico. He died in Texas in 1849; in 1857 his

 remains were interred here. The granite monument bears a bronze por-' 
 trait, the legends Ducit amor pat rice ("Love of country guides") andi 
 "Honor the Brave," and the names of the battles in which General Worth 
 had part. 
 
 The crossing at Twenty-third street is one of the most crowded and 
 difficult in the city. Here, where the currents of Broadway and Fifth 
 avenue unite, and to them is added that of Twenty-third street, the flood 1 
 of New York life flows at full tide. One who has looked upon the picture 
 here presented— the incessant crush of business traffic, the stream of 
 equipages on Fifth avenue, the throngs of shoppers and promenaders — 
 one who has seen this has seen New York. 
 
 Fifth avenue is the route of the great civic and military parades, and 
 the reviewing stand is usually placed opposite the Worth Monument. It 
 was here that Admiral Dewey reviewed the parade in his honor on Sept. 
 30,, 1899; and nearly in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel was found the ideal 
 site for the Dewey Arch, which was erected for that occasion. 
 
 Cbe lttadison Square Garden. 
 
 The Madison Square Garden occupies the block bounded by Fourth 
 and Madison avenues and Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets. Its 
 dimensions are 465 x 200 feet, and it is the largest amusement building in 
 America. It was completed in 1890 at a cost of $3,000,000. 
 
 The structure is popularly regarded as the most beautiful piece of 
 architecture in the city; if by any this distinction shall be denied it, we may 
 still say for it that by reason of its beauty and the advantage of its situa- 
 tion it is the one creation which gives the most pleasure to the greatest 
 number of people, whether we see it by day, the tower rising against the 
 blue sky and the finial Diana glorified by the sun ; or when illumined by 
 night, the graceful lines of the tower are half-disclosed and half-suggested, 
 and Diana reveals herself to us in the radiance of electric light. > 
 
 The building material is of pale yellow brick with decorations in white 
 terra-cotta. On the Madison avenue front and extending on either side 
 is an arcade whose arches rest on pillars of polished marble. A colonnade 
 with polished marble pillars extends around the top story; and there are 
 cupolas, domes, towers and gilded finials. The finest feature of all is the 
 tower which springs from the Twenty-sixth street front, rising 249 feet 
 with unbroken lines, and then by a succession of belfry stages of diminish- 
 ing -i/e tapt ring to the pinnacle upon which rests the shining figure of 
 Diana with dying draperies and crescent bow, 356 feet above the sidewalk. 
 The tower is an adaptation (but not a copy) of the Giralda in Seville. The 
 Diana, modeled by Augustus St. Gaudcns. is of copper gilded, 13 feet high. 
 The statue is a weather vane, and rests upon ball bearings (forty polished 
 steel balls about the si/e of billiard balls), which enable the figure to turn 
 readily, tin- arrows always pointing into the wind. Electric lights are SO 
 disposed as t<> illuminate the figure at night. 
 
 The Garden contains a vast amphitheater, concert room, theater, roof 
 garden and cafe, and there are offices and studios in the towers. The 
 amphitheater ifl 300 X 200 feet and 80 feet in height. The arena floor, 268 x

 galleries, which have a 
 permanent seating capac- 
 ity of 6.000. This may 
 be increased by using the 
 arena floor to 13,000, with 
 standing room in addi- 
 tion. An audience of 14,- 
 000 heard Grover Cleve- 
 land here in 1892. The 
 Garden is lighted by 
 7,000 incandescent lights. 
 When the domes and 
 pinnacles of the roof 
 and the arches and 
 balconies of the tower 
 are illuminated, and the 
 Diana stands out against 
 the sky, the spectacle is 
 one of the most enchant- 
 ing of the New York 
 night. 
 
 The Garden is the place 
 of great meetings and 
 expositions and enter- 
 tainments. Here have 
 been held the Horse 
 Show, Dog Show. Poul- 
 try Show, Sportsmen's 
 Show, American Institute 
 Fair, Barnum's Circus, 
 Arion Ball, political gath- 
 erings and mass meet- 
 ings. The tower is open 
 to visitors by the elevator 
 on Twenty-sixth street, 
 admission 25 cents, and 
 affords a magnificent 
 view of the city with its 
 encircling waters, from 
 the Narrows on the south 
 to the stretches of the 
 Hudson beyond Grant's 
 Tomb on the north, and 
 from the distant hills of 
 Long Island to the 
 mountains far on the 
 Uorizon in New Jersey. 
 
Cbe Appellate Court Bouse. 
 
 The Court House of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court oi 
 the City of New York is on the east of Madison Square at Madison avenue 
 and Twenty-fifth street. It was completed in 1900 at a cost, including the 
 furnishing, of $750,000. The exterior is decorated with sculptures, and the 
 interior is rich in marbles and mural paintings. 
 
 The caryatides, by T. S. Clarke, which support the cornice of the 
 Madison avenue front represent the Four Seasons. The group above 
 (by Karl Bitter) represents Peace. The statues on the pedestals of the 
 balustrade are of the Great Law Givers: Alfred, Confucius, Justinian, 
 Lycurgus, Mahomet, Manu Vaivasvata, Moses, St. Louis, Solon, 
 Zoroaster. 
 
 Flanking the entrance on Twenty-fifth street are two large seated 
 statues of Wisdom and Force, by F. W. Ruckstuhl. The pedestals bear 
 the inscriptions: 
 
 Every law not based on wisdom is a menace to the State. 
 We must not use force till just laws are defied. 
 
 The bas-relief of the pediment (by C. H. Niehaus) represents the 
 Triumph of Law over Anarchy; and above is a group (by D. C. French) 
 symbolizing Justice. Reclining on the window pediments are figures of 
 Morning, Noon, Evening, Night, by M. M. Schwartzott. 
 
 The entrance hall has a wainscoting of Sienna marble and pilasters of the 
 same material, with bronze gold capitals. The frieze spaces are filled with 
 paintings, and the ceiling is modeled in two shades of gold. The Court 
 Room is treated in the same manner. The bench, screen and dais are of 
 dark oak, very richly carved. The stained glass dome and windows are 
 inscribed with the names of these eminent jurists: Butler, Choate, 
 Clinton, Fish, Hamilton, Jay, Kent, Legare, Livingston, Marcy, Marshall, 
 O'Conor, Ogden, Pinckney, Shaw, Spencer, Story, Taney, Van Buren 
 Webster. - The mural paintings of the two apartments are symbolical and 
 allegorical. The following description of the series is adapted from one 
 published by the architect of the building: 
 
 In the Entrance Hall the frieze on the north wall, facing the entrance 
 (by H. S. Mowbray), represents the Transmission of the Law. The subject 
 is illustrated by eight groups in the following order: Mosaic, Egyptian, 
 Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Norman, Common Law and Modern Law, 
 representing distinct periods that have had their influence on our own. 
 The groups are united in each case by an allegorical winged figure to 
 represent their transmission from one age to another. 
 
 The frieze on the right-hand side, on the easterly wall of the entrance 
 hall (by Robert Reid), represents Justice, supported by the Guardians of 
 the Law with sword and fasces. She gives Peace and Prosperity to the Arts 
 and Sciences. She holds the symbols of the Law, sword, book and scales. 
 Peace is followed by Education teaching the youth, the book being 
 lighted by a lamp held by Religion. Prosperity is followed by Drama

 panel on the south wall is the same subject continued. From the left, in 
 order, are Poetry, Painting, Sculpture. Architecture and. Fame. 
 
 The frieze to the left, on the westerly wall (by W. L. Metcalf), repre- 
 sents Justice. The two lunettes between the entrance doors on the southerly 
 wall (by C. Y. Young) represent Law and Equity. 
 
 In the Court Room the central panel (by H. O. Walker) represents 
 Wisdom, attended by Learning, Experience, Humility and Love ; and by 
 Faith, Patience, Doubt and Inspiration. The figure of Wisdom is intended 
 to personify Biblical or spiritual wisdom. The figure of Love is meant to 
 carry out the sentiment of the figure o f Wisdom. The panel to the 
 right (by E. H. Blashfield) represents The Powers of the Law. The 
 panel to the left (by Edward Simmons) represents Justice of the Law 
 The two frieze panels to the right and left (by George W. Maynard), 
 represent the seals of the City and State. The long frieze on the west 
 wall, behind the dais of the Justices (by Kenyon Cox) represents gener- 
 ally the Reign of Law. The small frieze panels between the pilasters and 
 the windows (by Joseph Lauber) represent Moderation, Veneration, Per- 
 spicuity. Eloquence. Reticence, Research, Unity, Fortitude. Justice, Truth,

 Fifth Avenue is New York's fashionable thoroughfare, famed for its 
 costly residences and the people who live in them, its hotels, clubs, 
 churches and libraries, and the brilliant social display which gives to the 
 street its dominant air. Beginning at Washington Square on the south, it 
 extends north six miles, past the Central Park to the Harlem Riven 
 
 Stages ply between the Square and Eighty-ninth street, and afford a 
 convenient means of seeing the Avenue. Some of the stages start from 
 Bleecker street and West Broadway (where there is a station of the Sixth 
 avenue elevated railroad), and if we begin the trip at this point we shall 
 find a marked contrast between the surroundings south of the Square and 
 those north of it. A long time ago, when the Potter's Field was at 
 the present Madison Square, complaint was made that the pauper funerals 
 marred the enjoyment of the pleasure-seekers on what was the fashionable 
 drive of the day, and so the Potter's Field was removed to the plot of 
 meadow which in after years, when a hundred thousand paupers had been 
 buried beneath its turf, became Washington Square. Ever since, the 
 Square has answered the purpose for which it was then employed, to 
 screen from the sight of Fifth avenue certain features of the town which 
 polite society does not wish to see. To go from the upper side of New 
 York life to the nether, one has only to walk across Washington Square. 
 
 Washington Square has a statue of th'e Italian patriot Giuseppe 
 Garibaldi, presented by Italian residents of the United States. A bronze 
 bust erected by engineers of America and Europe commemorates Alex- 
 ander L. Holley as "foremost among those whose genius and energy 
 established in America and improved throughout the world the manu- 
 facture of Bessemer steel." A conspicuous feature of the Square's sur- 
 roundings is the Judson Memorial Baptist Church, its campanile sur- 
 mounted by a cross, which is illuminated at night and makes a pretty 
 picture seen through the Washington Arch. The large building east of the 
 Square belongs to the New York University, which has here its Schools 
 of Law and Pedagogy. 
 
 The Washington Arch, spanning the drive at the beginning of Fifth 
 avenue, is a perpetuation of the one designed by Stanford White for the 
 celebration in 1889 of the centennial of Washington's Inauguration as first 
 President. It is of white marble, 77 feet in -height, and has a span of 30 
 feet. Its cost of $128,000 was defrayed by popular subscription. The 
 words from Washington's Inaugural Address are engraved upon it: "Let 
 us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair, The event 
 is in the hands of God." 
 
 The aristocratic mansions on the north occupy part of the Randall farm, 
 which in 1801 Capt. Robert Richard Randall bequeathed for a Snug

 Harbor ior superannuated sailors. The Harbor is situated on Staten 
 Island, and is still supported by the old farm, which, extending north to 
 Tenth street and east to Fourth avenue, yields a rental income of 
 $500,000 a year. These North Washington Square houses have about them 
 a fine flavor of yesterday, and preserve an old-fashioned air which ac- 
 centuates their dignity as conservers of the old-time gentility. This small 
 section at the beginning of the Avenue has maintained a residential 
 character and exclusiveness of which the part just north has been robbed 
 by the encroachment of business. The Judge Building at 16th street, 
 the Constable at 18th, on the site of the old Belmont mansion, and the 
 Methodist Book Concern and Presbyterian buildings at 20th street are 
 significant of the character of this part of the Avenue as a business 
 district. 
 
FIFTH AVENUE.

 At 23d street the Avenue crosses Broadway and borders Madison 
 Square. (The Square is described in another chapter.) On the right of 
 the avenue at 23d street is the huge Flatiron building, described else- 
 where. On the left is the Fifth Avenue Building, and the vista of Broad- 
 way stretches away to the north. 
 
 At 25th street the Farragut statue is on the right and the Worth 
 monument on the left. The building on the lower side of 26th street was 
 formerly Delmonico's. At 27th street is the Victoria Hotel, belonging 
 to the Paran Stevens estate, and on the northwest corner the Reform 
 Club; at 28th the Knickerbocker apartments; at 29th the Calumet Club 
 on the southeast, and the Marble Collegiate Church. At 30th street is 
 the Holland House; at No. 319 the Knickerbocker Club, and extending 
 from 33d to 34th the Waldorf-Astoria. 
 
 The Waldorf-Astoria, an impressive and picturesque structure in the German 
 Renaissance style, is the largest and most luxurious hotel in the world. It was built 
 and is owned by William Waldorf Astor and Colonel John Jacob Astor. "The actual 
 cost," says the New York Sun, "has never been made public, but it is estimated at 
 about $12,000,000. When it was projected almost every one said it could not be made 
 to pay. Yet, to-day, it is a very profitable property. It is hard to imagine a house 
 with forty magnificent public rooms, more than 1,300 guests' rooms, and accommoda- 
 tions for between 1,400 and 1,500 people, being practically filled all the time, but these 
 figures represent the Waldorf-Astoria's accommodations, and it is constantly crowded. 
 
 Opposite the Waldorf-Astoria is the white marble building of the 
 Knickerbocker Trust Company; next to it ^Eolian Hall. On the east, 
 34th to 35th streets, is the Altman store. At 36th street is the Gorham 
 Company, and at 37th street Tiffany's. 
 
 Murray Hill begins at 34th street. The district so designated, in- 
 cluding the Avenue and the side streets, was long the most fashionable 
 residence section of New York. 
 
 The name was derived from the farm of Robert Murray, a Pennsylvania Quaker, 
 who came here before the Revolution, and whose house, "Inclenberg," was on the 
 Boston High Road, at the present intersection of Thirty-sixth street and Madison 
 avenue, one block east from Fifth avenue. The Murrays are remembered also for 
 a signal service to the American troops in 1776. On Sept. 15, 1776, Washington's

 forces being in retreat from the lower part 
 of the city, and the British seeking to 
 intercept them, General Howe and his 
 staff halted at "Inclenberg" to inquire 
 how long since the Americans had passed. 
 As a matter of fact, it was only ten 
 minutes, but the good old Quaker lady 
 assured the British officers that so much 
 time had elapsed that pursuit was hope- 
 less; and the day being insufferably hot, 
 she invited them to alight and refresh 
 themselves. Then with cake and wine 
 and wit she entertained them and de- 
 tained them two hours, during which 
 time the Americans made good their re- 
 treat to Harlem Heights. A son of these 
 Murrays of Murray Hill was Lindlej- 
 ]\ r urray, who published a famous "Gram- 
 mar of the English Language" in 1795, and of whom it is often colloquially said that 
 some lapse of speech "would make Lindley Murray turn in his grave." 
 
 At 39th street is the Union League Club, organized by Republicans 
 in 1863 to assist the Union cause. It is perhaps the New York club which 
 has the widest national reputation. It is one of the largest in the city, 
 with a membership of 1,800. The Queen Anne club house cost $400,000. 
 ' Between 40th and 42d streets is the site of the old Croton Reservoir, 
 where the New York Public Library is building. West is Bryant Park, 
 much resorted to by nurse maids and children. It has a bust of Washington 
 Irving and a statue of Dr. J. Marion Sims, paid for by dollar contribu- 
 tions from 10,000 of the great surgeon's patients and friends. 
 
 42d street leads east to the Grand Central Station, and the Manhattan 
 and Belmont hotels. The northwest corner is an office building, one of 
 many which give a new character to this district. The Temple Emanu-El 
 at 43d street is one of the largest Jewish synagogues in the city, and is 
 regarded, without and within, as 
 a fine example of Saracenic ar- 
 chitecture. West of the Avenue 
 in 43d street is the Century Club. 
 On the northeast coiner of 44th 
 street is Delmonico's, and di- 
 agonally across from it is Sher- 
 ry's. Delmonico's is the most 
 famous restaurant in America, 
 and one of the best known in the 
 world. Sherry's is a younger 
 establishment of the same char- 
 acter, and each is the scene of 
 many social functions — dinners, 
 receptions, society debuts and 
 balls. 
 
 "Delmonico and Brothers," records 
 Mr. Chas. H. Haswell, "opened a 
 coffee, cake and confectionery shop in 
 the year 1828 at No. 23 William street, 
 
 in a single room, in which they and DELMONICO'S.

 the female members of their family dispensed bon-bons, coftee, liquor, pat6s 
 and confections." In 1842 John Delmonico, then the head of the house, died ot 
 apoplexy, caused by his excitement at firing at a deer; and the "bereft" but 
 thrifty family caused to be printed this notice: "A CARD: The widow, brother 
 and nephew Lorenzo of the late much respected John Delmonico tender their heartfelt 
 thanks to the friends, Benevolent societies and Northern Liberty Fire Engine Com- 
 pany, who accompanied his remains to his last home. The establishment will be 
 reopened to-day, under the same firm of Delmonico Brothers, and no pains of the 
 bereft family will be spared to give general satisfaction. Restaurant, bar-room, and 
 private dinners, No. 2 South William Street; furnished rooms No. 76 Broad Street, as 
 usual." 
 
 In 44th street west of the Avenue are the Harvard, Yale, St. Nicholas, 
 Twelfth Night, and New York Yacht Clubs, and Bar Association. 
 
 The Windsor Arcade site between 46th and 47th was occupied by the 
 ill-fated Windsor Hotel, which was destroyed by fire in 1899 with a terrible 
 loss of life. The house on the northeast corner of 47th street, No. 579, is 
 the home of Miss Helen Gould. In No. 586 lives Mrs. Henry B. Plant; 
 No. 591, Robert Goelet ; No. 597, Mrs. Roswell P. Flower; No. 608 
 (southeast corner of 49th street), Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. At No. 617 
 is the Democratic Club, the social headquarters of the leaders of Tam- 
 many Hall. At 50th street is the Buckingham Hotel. St. Patrick's 
 Cathedral occupies the block from 50th to 51st street ; in the rear of 
 the Cathedral is the Achiepiscopal Residence, the home of the Archbishop. 
 The Union Club has a sumptuous new home on the corner, fronting on 
 51st street. 
 
 St. Patrick's Cathedral is the largest and most beautiful church edifice in 
 America and holds high rank as an example of the decorated and geometric style of 
 Gothic architecture to which belong the cathedrals of Rheims, Amiens and Cologne, on 
 the Continent; and the naves of York, Westminster and Exeter in England. The 
 architect was James Renwick, who designed the Smithsonian Institution in W ashington. 
 The corner-stone was laid by Archbishop Hughes, August 15, 1858, in the presence 
 of 100,000 people; and the edifice was dedicated May 25, 1879, by Cardinal McCloskey, 
 with thirty-six Archbishops and Bishops and more than 450 priests participating in the 
 rites. The material above the granite base course is white marble from Westchester 
 county, N. Y., and Lee, Mass. The cost of the land was over $60,000, and of the 
 building $2,000,000.*- The seating capacity of the pews is 2,500. The plan is cruciform, 
 The exterior length is 332 feet, breadth 174 feet, towers at base 32 feet, height of central 
 gable on the Fifth avenue front 156 feet, height of spires 330 feet. Interior height 306 
 feet, breadth of nave 96 feet (with chapels 120 feet), length of transept 140 feet. The 
 interior is divided into a nave, two transepts and a choir or sanctuary. The roof is 
 supported by massive white marble columns, clustered, 35 feet in height; the arches 
 between the columns rising to a height of 54 feet, and the ceiling of the center arch 
 to a height of 77 feet. The ceilings are groined and richly moulded. 
 
 Of the seventy windows thirty-seven are figured, their subjects drawn from 
 Scripture and the lives of the saints; and twenty more are filled with cathedral stained 
 glass. The principal one of the figured series is the six-bayed window of St. Patrick. 
 
 The High Altar, at the east end of the central aisle, has a reredos 33 feet in width 
 and 50 feet in height, of carved Poitiers stone; in the center tower of the reredos 
 is a statue of Christ, and in the flanking towers are statues of St. Peter and St. 
 Paul. The altar is of purest Italian marble inlaid with alabaster and precious marbles. 
 The front is divided into panels representing in bas-reliefs the Last Supper, the 
 Carrying of the Cross, the Agony in the Garden; and niches contain statues of the 
 Four Evangelists. The altar tabernacle is of marble richly decorated, "and has a 
 door of gilt bronze set with emeralds and garnets. The high altar was a gift from 
 Cardinal McCloskey, who, dying in 1885, was entombed beneath it; and here also 
 lies Archbishop Hughes. Under the floor of the sanctuary near the high altar is a 
 crypt for the entombing of the Archbishops of New York. Other altars are the 
 Altar of the Blessed Virgin, of French oak, at the eastern end of the north aisle; the 
 
st. Patrick's cathedral.

 Holy Family, of Caen stone, in the 
 north transept, and St. Joseph's Altar, 
 of bronze and mosaic, in the front of 
 the west wall of the sacristy. The four 
 altars cost $100,000. 
 
 The Archbishop's Throne is of 
 carved French oak, and has a mag- 
 nificent Gothic canopy. the pulpit, 
 which is an elaborate, costly and beauti- 
 ful creation of marble, of the same ar- 
 chitectural style as the Cathedral, was 
 designed by Mr. Renwick and executed 
 in Italy, and was given by the clergy 
 of the diocese as a memorial of the 
 Golden Jubilee or fiftieth anniversary 
 (January 12, 1884) of Cardinal Mc- 
 Closkey's ordination to the Priesthood. 
 
 The Chapel of Our Lady, which is 
 under construction, at a cost of a quar- 
 ter-million dollars, will complete the 
 original design of the Cathedral. 
 
 The Cathedral is open throughout the 
 day. 
 
 On the west side, between 51st 
 and 52d streets, are the brown 
 stone residences known as the 
 Vanderbilt twin-houses. In the 
 lower one, No. 640, owned by 
 George Vanderbilt, lives Henry C. 
 Frick: and in the other one, No. 
 642, Willam D. Sloane. On the upper side of 52d street is the residence of 
 W. K. Vanderbilt. At 53d street is the ultra-fashionable St. Thomas's 
 Church (Protestant Episcopal, burned in 1905; to be rebuilt at a cost of 
 $500,000). On the lower side of 54th street are the two houses (Nos. 680 
 and 684) built for daughters of Wm. H. Vanderbilt, Mrs. W. Seward 
 Webb and Mrs. H. McK. Twombley. 
 
 On the upper side of 54th street is the University Club. The mem- 
 bership is composed of graduates of universities and colleges. 
 
 The sculptured seals of eighteen colleges are employed for the exterior decorations. 
 On the Avenue side in the lower tier are the seals of Williams, the Naval Academy, 
 West Point, and Brown; in the upper tier, Cornell, Hamilton, Dartmouth and New 
 York University. On the 54th street front, in the lower tier, Columbia, Yale, Harvard, 
 Princeton; and in the upper tier, the College of the City of New York, Trinity, 
 Rutgers, the University of Pennsylvania, Union, and Amherst. 
 
 In 54th street, in the first house on the lower side, lives John D. 
 Rockefeller, President of the Standard Oil Company. The Fifth Avenue 
 Presbyterian Church at 55th street was for many years the pulpit of Dr. 
 John Hall. On the east is the Hotel St. Regis, on the west the Hotel 
 
 Gotham. 
 
 At 57th street, on the four corners respectively are the homes of 
 Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, N.W. Herman Oelrichs, N. E. 
 Harry Payne Whitney, S.W. Mrs. C. P. Huntington, S.E. 
 
 The Whttwiy Housi, now occupied by Harry Payne Whitney, was formerly owned 
 by his father, William C. Whitney, Secretary of the Navy under Cleveland. It was

 here that President Cleveland received Li Hung Chang; and the story went that Earl 
 Li was so impressed by the magnificence of the spacious interior that he found it 
 difficult to believe that this was simply a private house. The Oelrichs House 
 was formerly owned by Mrs. Paran Stevens. The Huntington House, which has 
 the exterior of a penal institution, is of rich construction within; there are an 
 onyx and statuary marble staircase that cost $190,000, a grand ball room and other 
 costly features. The house was built by the late C. P. Huntington, at a cost of 
 $2,000,000. For a long time after it was finished Mr. Huntington hesitated to move 
 into it, because, as was explained, he was superstitious enough to believe the old

 saying that it is not safe for an old man to move into a new house, for it is likely 
 that he will soon die in it. Not until after his adopted daughter had been married 
 in the house would be consent to live in it. Mr. Huntington died in 1900. 
 
 The Cornelius Vanderbilt House is for size and grandeur the most notable on 
 the Avenue. It extends from 57th to 58th streets, and has a frontage on the side 
 streets of 125 feet. The style is that of the Chateau de Boise in France; and the 
 exterior effect is much enhanced by the garden which borders the Avenue side and by 
 the porte-cochere on the 58th street end. The main entrance is on 58th street, and a feature 
 of the interior is the great hall, finished in highly carved Caen stone, 42 feet broad, 
 50 feet long, and extending to the top of the house, with a winding staircase also of 
 Caen stone. The rooms on the first floor include the large salon decorated in the 
 style of Louis XV., a smaller salon in the style of Louis XVI. , the library finished in 
 mahogany, the grand ball room, which occupies a space 64 by 50 feet and is 40 feet 
 high, and dining, breakfast, and smoking rooms. The house has been described as 
 "a veritable palace, being built on the plan of those in Europe, and its grand mag- 
 nificence becomes apparent only on fete occasions. The main floor, adapted especially 
 for entertainment, with its grand stone hall, its great ball room, which is said to out- 
 shine in elegance and grandeur the state apartments of royalty, and its series of 
 large connecting rooms, discloses an arrangement architecturally perfect and harmoni- 
 ous. The elaborate carvings, decorations and furnishings have been made and 
 selected by experts in the various branches of architecture and decoration, with a 
 view to artistic effect and elegance, and the result is a vast floor of magnificent state- 
 hness." Cornelius Vanderbilt died in 1899. 
 
 At 58th and 59th streets is the Plaza, an open square which is re- 
 nurkaljle for its architectural and social surroundings. On the east are 
 the great hotels Savoy and New Netherlands; on the south the Cornelius 
 Vanderhilt house; on the west is the new Plaza Hotel, and on the 
 north Central Park. The principal entrance to the Park is here; this 
 is the town's fashionable drive, and in the afternoon we shall find here

 a constant stream of equipages coming and going, and crowds of 
 pedestrians and promenaders on the Avenue and in the Park. 
 
 The Metropolitan Club's House at 60th street occupies a site which 
 was once owned by the Duchess of Marlborough. The building, of white 
 marble, with Numidian marble halls, cost with the ground $1,500,000, and 
 is one of the finest club houses in the world. On account of the 
 enormous fortunes possessed by its members, the club is known as the 
 "Millionaires' Club." 
 
 Next to the Metropolitan Club is the residence of Elbridge T. Gerry, 
 founder of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mr. 
 Gerry's is the first one in the long succession of palatial residences front- 
 ing the Park above 60th street, which constitute what is popularly called 
 "Millionaires' Row." They are houses remarkable for size, diversified 
 style, and the impressive architectural effect of the exteriors; and yet more 
 for the costliness, lavish luxury and magnificence of the interiors. Among 
 the many notable residences we have space to mention but a few. 
 
 At 65th street the double house was the home of Mrs. William Astor 
 and Colonel John Jacob Astor; and at 66th street the house of H. O.

 Havemeyer. Colonel Oliver H. Payne lives in Xo. S52. Xo. 855 is 
 Perry Belmont's, and Xo. 856 H. O. Armour's. The house on the north 
 corner of 67th street is George Gould s. Isaac Stern's double house. 
 No. 858, is noted for the rich interior effects, which are secured with 
 choice marbles, rare woods and tapestries and hangings from the most 
 famous looms. Xo. 86j. which was owned by the late C. T. Yerkes. 
 cost $3,000,000. and has a $2,000,000 collection of paintings and art 
 treasures in the largest private art gallery in America. 
 
 On the north side of 6Sth street, Xo. 871. was the home of William 
 C Whitney, who, after paying $650,000 for the house, remodeled and 
 rebuilt the interior, and made it one which for beauty and costliness 
 of decoration is believed to be without a rival in this country. 
 
 It is furnished throughout in the Italian Renaissance style, the aim being to reprc 
 duce as nearly as possible a Venetian or Florentine palace of the days of Leonardi da 
 \ inci and Michel Angelo. There is scarcely a modern piece of work to be seen, ex- 
 cept the floors; the decorations are all original antiques collected abroad, and eacb 
 the most perfect specimen that skill could select and money buy. The chimney-pieces 
 are nearly all elaborate works in marble from old Italian palaces; the hangings are 
 trom similar sources; the ceilings of several rooms have been taken bodily from famous 
 buildings in Europe, and the furniture and much of the woodwork are of a like 
 character. In the principal hall a portrait of Charles L, by Van Dyck. hangs at 
 one side of a short flight of steps, and a religious piece by Lorenzo Costa on the 
 other. Between them is a splendid silver hanging lamp, a masterpiece of old 
 Italian craftsmanship. The dining room walls are covered with sixteenth century 
 ^^ian wall paintings. The chimney-piece is a magnificent specimen of its kind.

 THE LENOX LIBRARY. 
 
 while the great bronze firedogs are said to be the finest in America. In the library 
 the bookcases and paneling are of old oak, carved with an elaborateness of detail 
 found in none except the work of Renaissance workmen. The ball room is reached 
 by a corridor which is paneled with inlaid woods in quaint design and of very old 
 workmanship. The ball room is pure Louis XIV. The walls are entirely covered 
 with paneling in high relief, which was once in the chateau of Phoebus d'Albert, near 
 Bordeaux. In the time of Louis Philippe these panelings were taken to a house in Paris, 
 and from there they were brought to this country. Every scrap of furniture in the 
 room is also of the Louis XIV. period, the ceiling and floor being the only modern 
 portions of the apartment.— New 1 ork Times. 
 
 At 70th street is the Lenox Library, or, as the correct title now runs, 
 the Lenox Branch of the New York Public Library, Astor. Lenox, and 
 Tilden Foundations. The library is open daily from 9 to 6. 
 
 With an inherited fortune of £3,000,000, James Lenox devoted his life to the collec- 
 tion of rare books, manuscripts and paintings. In 1870 he presented to the city 
 the entire collection, together with the library building, the entire gift being valued 
 at $2,000,000. The collection of 4,300 Bibles is unequaled even by that of the British 
 Museum, and the Americana and Shakespeariana are unapproached in America. 
 Notable accessions have been the George Bancroft historical library, purchased for 
 $80,000; and the Joseph W. Drexel and the Astor collections of books on music, com- 
 prising 7,800 volumes and 1.500 pamphlets. The paintings include many pictures of 
 note, with valuable portraits by early American artists. 
 
 Opposite the Lenox Library, recessed in the wall of Central Park, is 
 the Hunt Memorial. It consists of a bronze bust of the architect, by 
 D. C. French, with a curved stone bench. The dedication is: "To Richard 
 Morris Hunt, Oct. 31, 182S — July 31. 1895. in recognition of his services 
 in the cause of art in America, this memorial was erected by the Art 
 Societies of America." Hunt designed the Lenox Library. 
 
 On the south corner of 74th street is the immense brown stone house 
 known as the Pickhardt House. 
 
 A curious history attaches to the house. It was built, unbuilt and rebuilt by William 
 Pickhardt, an eccentric millionaire dealer in chemicals, who became possessed by an 
 ambition to outdo the Stewart palace at 34th street. Architects of England, Germany 
 
90 
 
 NEW YORK. 
 
 and America were invited to compete, and the plans of an American were adopted. 
 The stone for the walls was imported from quarries near Mr. Pickhardt's birthplace 
 in Germany. Work was begun in 1875. After the foundations had been finished at a 
 cost of $1UU,UUU, Mr. Pickhardt changed his plans, and the work was interrupted for 
 a year. When the walls of the first story had been completed, there was another 
 change of plan, followed by another prolonged interruption. The work then 
 progressed until three stories had been built, when another change was decided on, 
 and the weary architect threw up his job. A contractor was employed to tear down 
 two stories, and a new architect and new builder were put in charge. The builder 
 was a German, and went to Germany on a vacation and died there. Another builder 
 was found, and at last, in 1SS9, after fourteen years of building, tearing down and re- 
 building, and an expenditure of over $1,000,000, the house was roofed. Then Mr. 
 Pickhardt concluded that it was not what he wanted, and declared that he would 
 never live in it. It stood vacant six years, and was then put up at auction and sold 
 for $472,500. A few months later Mr. Pickhardt died. The new owner made some 
 more alterations, and eventually the house was occupied. 
 
 The gilt-ribbed dome of the Hebrew Temple Beth-El at 76th street is 
 one of the most effective architectural features of the neighborhood, and 
 has a conspicuous place in the vistas and views from the walks and drives 
 of Central Park. The interior is rich with columns and arches of onyx. 
 The land and the edifice cost $750,000. 
 
 At 77th street is building Senator W. A. Clark's mansion, which is 
 to be the most costly private house in America. A year and a half were 
 consumed in preparing the foundations, which were in places sunk by 
 caissons through 16 feet of water to bedrock 30 feet below the sidewalk.

 Central Park extends from 59th street north to 110th street, and from 
 Fifth avenue west to Eighth avenue. It is two and one-half miles long and 
 one-half mile wide. The area comprises 879 acres of diversified woodland, 
 meadow, lawn, lakes and ponds ; and the Park ranks as cne of the most 
 beautiful pleasure grounds in the world. There are gV 2 miles of carriage 
 roads. 5*2 miles of bridle paths and 28 1 / miles of walks. The Park is 
 reached by the Fifth avenue stages. Madison. Sixth and Eighth avenue and 
 Broad way cars and the Sixth avenue elevated. The principal entrance 
 is the Scholar's Gate at Fifth avenue and 59th street. This is the beginning 
 of the main drive through the Park. The several entrances are : 
 
 Fifth Avenue— 59th, 64th, 67th. 72d. 79th, 85th, 90th. 96th, iojd and 110th 
 streets. 
 
 Sixth Avenue — 59th and 110th streets.

 Eighth Avenue ( Central Park West )— 59th. 72d, 79th. 85th. 96th. 100th, 
 105th and 110th streets. 
 
 A convenient way of seeing the Park is by the Park carriages, which will 
 be found at the 59th street gates at Fifth and Eighth avenues, and at Lenox 
 avenue and 110th street (inside the Park). They may also be taken on the 
 drive near any of the entrances, or at any point in the Park, a passengei 
 being returned to the place of embarkation. The carriages make the circuit 
 of the Park in one hour ; the fare is 25 cents, with stop-over privileges. A 
 line of electric stages runs from the Fifth avenue and 59th street entrance 
 through the Park to 72d street, thence on Riverside Drive to Grant's Tomb; 
 fare 25 cents, round trip 40 cents.

 Baseball Ground on the left and the Mall on the right, to the Terrace ; 
 thence past the- Webster Statue on the West Drive to 79th Street, where a 
 stop-over is given for the Museum of Natural History. Thence past the 
 upper Croton Reservoir and the lawn tennis field to McGowan's Pass* and 
 Mt. St. Vincent (where a stop-over is given for the restaurant) ; and then 
 turning south the carriage follows the East Drive to the Obelisk and

 ciated with an incident of the Revolution. On Sept. 15, 1776 stragglers of the Ameri- 
 can troops passed through the Pass in their retreat to Harlem. The British in 
 pursuit here met a patriot lad, Andrew McGowan, and pressed him into service to 
 show the way the Americans had gone. He led the troopers a devious course over 
 a wrong road, and thus by his ready wit gave the Americans time to escape. Mt. St. 
 Vincent was so called because St. Vincent's Convent stood here before the property 
 was acquired for park purposes.

 the landing of the Pilgrims in 1620. This brings us back to the Terrace 
 Bridge, and from here the route is to the Scholar's Gate over the way by 
 which we entered. 
 
 A plan which will give a comprehensive seeing of the Park is to go 
 over the carriage course as above to the Museum of Art, and then complete 
 the trip on foot, from the Museum visiting the upper Reservoir near by, then 
 the Obelisk, Belvedere, Ramble, Lake, Terrace and Mall. 
 
 Entering by the 59TH street gate at Fifth, Sixth, Seventh or Eighth 
 avenues, and following the main walk toward the center of the Park, we 
 come shortly to the Mall, which is the central place of concourse in the 
 
 AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. 
 
CENTRAL PARK.

 THE BELVEDERE. 
 
 Park, a broad promenade flanked by 
 jreen lawns and arched by double rows 
 of majestic elms. These elms, with 
 itheir vast cathedral aisles, constitute 
 the most imposing feature of the Park, 
 and they are by far the finest thing 
 New York has to show for trees. The 
 Mall statues near the lower end are: a 
 replica of Sunol's Columbus, which 
 stands on the Prado in Madrid; 
 Shakespeare, by J. Q. A. Ward ; Burns 
 and vScott, by Steele, presented by resi- 
 dent Scotchmen; Fitz-Greene Halleck, 
 by Wilson MacDonald. On the lawns 
 west of the Mall are Ward's "Indian 
 Hunter" and Fratin's "Eagles and 
 Goat." A colossal bust of Beethoven 
 faces the music stand near the north 
 end of the Mall, where concerts are 
 given on Saturday and Sunday after- 
 noons in summer. The Mall terminates 
 at the Terrace, which overlooks the 
 Lake, and with its stairways, elaborately 
 carved with fruits and flowers and birds, is the chief architectural adorn- 
 ment of the Park. Broad fl'ghts of steps lead down to an esplanade, in the 
 center of which is the Bethesda Fountain. It was designed by Emma 
 Stebbins ; the central figure represents the angel of the Pool of Bethesda ; 
 the smaller figures typify Health, Peace, Temperance and Purity. The 
 pleasure boats may be taken here or at the boat house near by for a trip 
 around the Lake. From the Fountain, taking the walk to the left, following 
 the Lake shore and crossing the Bow Bridge, we come to the Ramble, 
 whose winding paths lead to the lower Croton Reservoir. At the southwest 
 corner of the Reservoir, on the highest point of land in the Park, stands the 
 Belvedere, whose tower gives a wide outlook over the Park and its sur- 
 roundings. The prospect takes in the two reservoirs, St. Luke's Hospital 
 in the north, the Palisades of the Hudson in the west and the hills of Long 
 Island in the east. Skirting the Reservoir, we come to the Obelisk, which 
 stands on a knoll by the East Drive, near the Museum of Art. 
 
 The Egyptian Obelisk is the object in the Park which many of us 
 will esteem the one thing best worth seeing. Here we are face to face with 
 antiquity. The monument was old when Moses read its inscriptions 
 in honor of the Egyptian sun-god ; and to-day it has behind it thirty-five 
 centuries, during which, standing as an imperishable memorial of the 
 Pharaohs, it has seen kings and empires rise and flourish and pass into 
 oblivion. The Obelisk stood before the Temple of the Sun in Heliopolis 
 (the City of the Sun), near Cairo, in Egypt, where it was erected in the 
 sixteenth century B. C. by Thothmes III., who reigned 1591 to 1565. Two 
 hundred years later Ramses II. (1383 to 1322), the Pharaoh of the Bible, 
 added to it inscriptions setting forth his own majesty; and four centuries

 recorded his own name along with those of Thothmes and Ramses. Out 
 Obelisk and a companion shaft remained standing in Heliopolis until I2j 
 B. C, when, Rome being mistress of the world, Augustus Caesar caused 
 these monuments of the Pharaohs to be removed to Alexandria and there! 
 erected before the Temple of the Caesars. In the year 1877 the companion 
 obelisk was removed to London and placed on the Thames Embankment. 
 In the same year our Obelisk — known to the ancients first as Pharaoh's 
 Needle and afterwards as Cleopatra's Needle — was presented by the 
 
 Khedive of Egypt to the United States. 
 1 It was brought to America by Lieut. - 
 Com. Henry H. Gorringe, U. S. N., and 
 was erected on the present site in 1881. 
 The cost of the removal was $102,576, 
 which entire sum was contributed by 
 William H. Vanderbilt. 
 
 The Obelisk is a monolith, or single 
 stone, of syenite, from the granite quar- 
 ries of Syene, in Egypt, and it is so 
 hard that modern stone-cutting instru- 
 ments make no impression upon it. The 
 shaft is 6g T / 2 feet high, 7 feet 9 inches by 
 7 feet 8 J /i inches at the base, and weighs 
 448,000 pounds. How the Egyptians 
 quarried it, transported it a thousand 
 miles from Syene to Heliopolis, and 
 erected it there, is one of the unsolved 
 mysteries of antiquity. 
 
 The bronze crabs date from the time 
 of Caesar. When the Obelisk was re- 
 moved to Alexandria, the base was in- 
 jured; to repair the damage melted lead 
 was poured into the crevices, and four 
 crabs were placed at the corners. Only 
 two of the crabs have come down to 
 us ; they are preserved in the Museum 
 of Art. The crabs now under the shaft 
 were cast from these originals at the 
 Brooklyn Navy Yard. The inscrip- 
 tions on the claws in Greek and Latin 
 were made by the Romans, to com- 
 memorate the removal to Alexandria. 
 They read: "Barbarus, Governor of 
 Egypt, erected [this monument] in the 
 eighteenth year of the reign of Caesar. 
 Pontius was the architect." The sev- 
 eral inscriptions on the other claws 
 summarize the history of the Obelisk. 
 The base and pedestal were brought 
 from Alexandria. The gilded zinc cap

 tire stone has been coated with paraffine to protect it against the

 The hieroglyphics of the north, south and east faces may for 
 part still be read; those on the west face have been eaten away d 
 centuries by the blowing sands of the Libyan desert. On each 
 central vertical column is the original inscription of Thothmes III. 
 side inscriptions are those of Ramses II. ; and that of Osarkon I.

 THE CARTOUCHES OR NAMES OF THE PHARAOHS. 
 
 regarded the king as the Sun's offspring, and thus a divinity on earth. The 
 Pharaohs erected the obelisks in honor of the sun-god and of themselves. 
 The sun-god Horus was symbolized by the sparrow hawk ; and this is the 
 figure which appears at the top of each column. The name of the king 
 consists of a group of signs inclosed in an oval, called a cartouche ; the 
 names of kings which appear on the Obelisk may be identified as here 
 shown. The inscriptions on the several faces are very much alike ; those 
 of the east face still ctand for all. The central column, beginning at the 
 top, reads : 
 
 The heavenly Horus, the powerful and glorious bull in Thebes, the lord of the 
 Vulture and Uraeus diadems, whose kingdom is established as the sun in the 
 heavens. He whom Turn, the lord of Heliopolis, has begotten; the son of his 
 loins whom Thoth has brought forth; who was created by them in the great 
 temple in the beauty of their limbs; who knew what he would do to establish 
 an eternal kingdom. Thothmes III., the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, beloved 
 of the great god Turn and his circle of gods, who gives all life, stability and 
 strength now and forever. 
 
 Thus Thothmes. Then in his turn Ramses : 
 
 The heavenly Horus, the powerful bull beloved of Ra. The king of Upper and 
 Lower Egypt, Ramses II., the Sun, the child of the gods. Master of two coun- 
 tries, the Sun's offspring, Ramses II., a youth glorious, beloved like Aten when 
 he shines in the horizon. The lord of the two countries, Ramses II., the Sun's 
 offspring, Ramses II., the glorious image of Ra, who gives life. 
 
 Across the base, repeated four times, is the inscription: 
 Long life to the gracious god— Ramses II. 
 
 And then five hundred years after Thothmes and three hundred after 
 Ramses, Osarkon added his name: 
 
 The king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Osarkon I., the Sun's offspring, Osarkon I. 
 
 Knowledge of the hieroglyphic writing was lost in the early centuries of 
 the Christian era, and for more than a thousand years the world could 
 
X12IJ' YORK. 
 
 not read the Obelisk inscriptions. In 1779 there was discovered at Rosetta, 
 in Egypt, a slab of basalt which bore an inscription written in hiero- 
 glyphics, and also in demotic and Greek, so that it was possible to interpret 
 the hieroglyphics by the corresponding Greek, and this afforded the first 
 clue to a reading of the Egyptian characters. Further research gradually 
 recovered the entire language, and thus the Pharaonic inscriptions of the 
 Obelisk have been made intelligible to the modern world. The famous 
 Rosetta Stone is in the British Museum ; a cast of it may be seen in the 
 Museum of Art (No. 59, Hall 6), where we shall find a large collection of 
 Egyptian antiquities. 
 
 For the Museum of Art see page 100. The walk 2 0m » northwest from 
 the Museum and crossing the Drive leads to the upper Croton Reservoir, 
 which is the retaining reservoir, the lower one being the receiving reservoir. 
 The two cover an area of 143 acres, and have a capacity of 1.180,000.000 
 gallons. ' The water is brought from the High Bridge aqueduct over the 
 Harlem River, coming from the Croton watershed, forty miles north of 
 the city in Westchester county. The walk around the upper Reservoir is a 
 favorite promenade, giving many fine water views with the Park surround- 
 ings and the near and distant 
 towers and spires of the city. 
 The upper Reservoir is the 
 body of water in the Park 
 best worth seeing. The lakes 
 and ponds in the Park com-

 which incipient America's 
 Cup defenders sail their

 charming bits of the Park. 
 Near by is the Lily Pond, in 
 which are grown many rari- 
 ties of water lilies. In the 
 northern part are the Harlem 
 Mere, the Pool and the dimin- 
 utive Loch. In the west, near 
 the 79th street gate, is a small 
 pond, which is the home of 
 numerous interesting water 
 fowl. The swans on the Lake 
 are an ever-attractive feature. 
 
 The Menagerie, at Fifth

 and reptiles, in buildings and 
 cages surrounding the old 
 Arsenal. There are elephants, 
 lions, tigers, bears, hippopot- 
 ami, tapir, deer, elk. monkeys, 
 eagles, ostriches and other 
 birds, alligators, and various 
 other specimens, the collec- 
 tion being usually augmented 
 in winter by circus animals 
 loaned to the city. The gray 
 squirrels, found everywhere 
 in the Park, sometimes be- 
 come so numerous as to be a 
 pest requiring abatement. 
 
 The American Museum of 
 Natural History, in Man- 
 hattan Square, at 77th street, 
 may be visited as a part of the 
 Park tour. For routes other- 
 wise, see general list of 
 routes. The Museum is open 
 from 9 to 5:30 (5 in winter) 
 on week days ; 9 to 5 on Sat- 
 eve with the body of abel. urday and Sunday ; and from 
 
 Metropolitan Museum of Art. Oct. I through the winter on 
 
 Tuesday and Saturday evenings to 10. Admission Monday and Tuesday, 25 
 cents; other days, free, also free Tuesday and Saturday evenings. * 
 
 The present buildings form part of a group which will cover the entire 
 square. The departments of the Museum embrace Geology. Minerals. Mam- 
 mals and Birds. Vertebrate Palaeontology. Anthropology, Entomology and 
 Invertebrate Zoology. The collections in the several halls are extensive 
 and complete ; from the stuffed effigy of the elephant Jumbo to microscopic 
 specimens of beetles, the world of nature is here presented, classified and 
 labeled for study. Among the most striking exhibits are cases of taxi- 
 dermy groups, exquisite representations of birds and mammals amid their 
 life surroundings ; the forty-eight groups of birds and twenty-two of mam- 
 mals were produced at a cost of $45,000. Of bird specimens for study, the 
 Museum possesses 60.000, and of mammals 20.000. In Entomology there 
 are the Jesup collection of economic entomology, Elliot of 6 600 butter- 
 flies and moths, Angus of 13.000 butterflies. Edwards of 250.000 butterflies, 
 Schaus of 5.000 moths, Hoffman of 5,000 butterflies, a collection of 10.000 
 beetles and a series illustrating insect architecture. North American for- 
 estry is shown in the Jesup collection of woods, embracing more than 500 
 specimens; and of North American building stones there are 1.500. Gems 
 and pearls are shown in the famous Tiffany collection, presented by J. P. 
 Morgan. There are more than 10.000 shells ; and marine life is illustrated 
 by extensive series. In archaeology and ethnology there are collections from 
 all parts of the world; the Christian Missions collections number thousands 
 of objects illustrating the customs and domestic life of different races. 
 
metropolitan museum of flit 
 
 The Metropolitan Museum of Art occupies a site in Central Park, 
 the imposing East Wing fronting on Fifth avenue, opposite 82d street. 
 It is open every week day from 10 to 6 in summer, and 10 to 5 in winter; 
 Saturday, 10 A. M. to 10 P. M. ; Sunday, 1 to 5. An admission fee of 
 25 cents is charged on Monday and Friday in the day time. Admission 
 is free on other days. On pay days one has the advantage of there 
 being a smaller number of visitors; Saturdays and Sundays are as a 
 rule unfavorable because of the crowds. 
 
 The Museum is a private corporation, founded in 1870 by a number of 
 public-spirited citizens, and managed by a board of trustees. The Mu- 
 seum building was provided by the city. The Metropolitan is the largest 
 and richest art museum in America; it is a vast storehouse of treasures in 
 the several departments of the fine arts ; all times and all peoples have con- 
 tributed to it, and we shall find material for endless study. The most 
 advantageous way to see the Museum is to make a series of visits, devoting 
 each one to a particular collection or group. The province of the Standard 
 Guide is to indicate only in the most general way the scope of the collection. 
 Visitors should use the catalogues which are sold in the hall near the 
 entrance; that of the paintings costs 20 cents; the others 10 cents each. 
 
 The central Grand Hall contains the Willard Collection of Archi- 
 tectural Casts, reproducing details of the notable architecture of many 
 periods. Conspicuous are the models, on a scale of one-twentieth of the 
 original, of the Parthenon, the Pantheon, Notre Dame, and the Hypostyle 
 Hall of Karnac. On the walls are two immense paintings, "Justinian in 
 Council," by Benjamin-Constant, and "Diana's Hunting Party," by 
 Makart. 
 
 Sculptural Plaster Casts. — Halls 6 to 11 contain reproductions of; 
 sculpture. There are over 800 examples, beginning at a time 3,700 years B. 
 C, and illustrating the development through the Egyptian, Assyrian,! 
 Persian, Greek, Roman and Mediaeval periods, and the Italian Renaissance.; 
 Here are the crude beginnings of antiquity and the noble works of the 
 masters. Pheidias is represented by the sculptures of the Parthenon (Hall 
 8) and Praxiteles by his world-renowned Aphrodite (No. 34 in Hall 11). 
 The Venus of Melos is in Hail 11. In Hall 8 the Galatian Warrior, thd 
 Herakles ("Torso of the Belvedere"), and the Laokoon group. The porJ 
 trait grave-monuments in Hall 8 have touching interest. "Archestrate 
 greatly longed-for by her Husband" one is inscribed. In Hall 7 the SpH 
 nario, or Boy extracting a Thorn from his Foot always attracts attention 
 
 The Italian Renaissance subjects are in Hall 9, among them. Ghiberti'i 
 Door of the Baptistery at Florence. Donatellc's David, "Gattamelata.'J 
 and Judith and Holoferncs. Luca della Robbia's Dancing and Playing 
 Children; and Assumption of the Virgin, in Hall 2. Michel- Angelo'l 
 David (No. 118), Moses (No. 131), Captive, wearied or musing (No. 132)! 
 Captive, struggling to burst his bond (No. 133). and the monumental figure!

 of the Tombs of the Medici in Florence— "Night" and "Day," "Evening" 
 and "Dawn," and the portrait statues of Giuliano and Lorenzo, 
 the last known as "II Pensiero" from the attitude of profound thought. 
 
 In Halls 2 and. 3 are wrought-iron work, bronzes and reproductions of 
 bronzes. Macmonnies' Bacchante, which was intended for the Boston 
 Public Library in the Hall of Sculpture, where is shown the Museum's 
 extensive collection of modern works. Among notable works are Ruck- 
 stuhl's Evening, Story's Medea, Cleopatra, and Semiramis; Bartlett's 
 Bohemian Bear Tamer; the Two Natures of Man; Harriet Hosmer's 
 Zenobia; Roger's Ruth and Nydia; Millet's Ariadne; Prosper d'Epinay's 
 Sappho, and many others. 
 
 In the halls devoted to Egyptian Antiquities are sarcophagi and mum- 
 my-cases; mummies of human beings, crocodiles, cats and the ibis; sculp- 
 tures, scarabs, amulets, textile fabrics, and objects illustrating the domestic 
 life and mortuary customs of the Egyptians, extending to a period nearly 
 4 000 B. C. The Cesnola Collection of Cypriote Antiquities consists of 
 thousands of objects exhumed on the island of Cyprus, comprising stone 
 sculptures, pottery and glass. There is also, in the entrance hall, the 
 Marquand Collection of Glass — Phoenician, Greek, Roman. Venetian 
 and Florentine — which, with other glass, makes the Museum's collection 
 unique and unrivalled. In other halls on the first floor are shown ancient 
 armor, reproductions of bronze, and wood carvings.

 latest and most interesting of the modern painters." 
 
 Of the 700 pictures it would be impossible to designate even in limited 
 number those which for one quality or another deserve special attention. 
 For our purpose it will be of practical aid to one whose time is limited to 
 name some of the paintings which are most popular. The explanatory 
 notes marked "C." are from the catalogue. 
 
 Twenty-five of the most popular pictures in the Metropolitan 
 Museum of Art. 
 
 181. The Mystery of Life. Carl Marr. Ar, old man tired of life, having 
 courted death in every form without avail, discovers the lifeless

 could be effected at all. A storm of sleet and snow had just com- 
 menced, and the night became excessively dark and dreary. The 
 perilous voyage began early in the evening in boats and bateaux, 
 but it was nearly four in the morning before the little army was 
 mustered on the Jersey shore." — C.

 around about certain churches, but often in uncultivated fields, 
 where tents are erected, and where the fete continues for several 
 days, and is attended by thousands of the peasantry. — C.

 the King's servants, who, dressing them in rags, and putting a 
 crown of straw on Sonnavater's head, and a mitre of birch-bark on 
 Knut's, mounted them on starving horses and brought them 
 through Upsala to Stockholm in a Shrove-tide procession, amidst 
 jeers and insults. They were led to the market-place, and, after 
 drinking to the executioner's health, were broken on the wheel. — C.

fierald and Dines Squares 
 
 Two points which are of interest because of recent and rapid develop- 
 ment as business, hotel and amusement centers, are Herald and Times 
 Squares. Both are to have in the immediate future vastly increased im- 
 portance by reason of their close connection with the several tunnel and 
 rapid transit systems of communication now under construction ; and ini 
 anticipation of the new condition thus to be created, real estate transactions! 
 and building operations of amazing magnitude are transforming these 5 
 two points in a way comparable only to the changes wrought in the sky- 
 scraper districts of the lower part of Manhattan Island. Department stores 
 of proportions heretofore unknown have been built; and tens of millions o) 
 dollars have been invested in hotels and theaters. 
 
 Herald Square, at the intersection of Broadway and Sixth avenue, 33c 
 and 36th streets, takes its name from the Herald Building, which is it: 
 most beautiful architectural adornment. It was formerly called Greeley 
 Square, after Horace Greeley, whose statue is here ; there is also a statue 
 William E. Dodge, a New York merchant. The terminal station of th<j 
 Pennsylvania Railroad will occupy four blocks between Seventh and Nintl 
 avenues, one block west from Herald Square, and the Long Island Railroa< 
 Tunnel will have its station here. In the near future the rapid transit tun! 
 nel may be extended from 42d street south under Broadway, with a statior 
 in Herald Square. On the west are the Macy and the Saks stores. Th 
 small plot of ground on the corner of 34th street, making a jog in th 
 Macy building, has an interesting history. The plot contains only 1,15 
 square feet. The Macys wanted it, to complete their site, but refused to pa 
 the price demanded. It was bought for $375,000, or at the rate of $324.95 p 
 square foot, by Henry Siegel, who has rented it with a $40,000 four-sto 
 building on it, for twenty years at an annual rental of $40,000, or 5% 
 $800,000. On the east side of the Square the Broadway Tabernacle, f 
 many years one of the best known pulpits of New York, was in 1901 so 
 for $1,300,000; and on the site a twenty-story hotel is building, to cost wi 
 the ground $3,000,000. The Tabernacle has built a new edifice at Broadw 
 and 56th street. 
 
 The Herald Building.— In Herald Square at West 35th street and t 
 intersection of Broadway and Sixth avenue, the New York Herald occupi 
 a building which is one of the architectural adornments of the city. T 
 style is of the early Italian Renaissance, the exterior is profusely cover 
 with decoration most delicate in design, and among the conspicuous featur 
 are the unbroken roof and the colonnades of the first story. The purpose 
 the colonnades is to give public view of the Herald printing, and we she 
 find here one of the interesting sights of New York. On the Sixth aven

 side may be seen the process of preparing the plates for the press. In brief, 
 it is this : When the flat form of type making a page is received from the 
 composing room upstairs, a papier-mache mold is made of it. The paper 
 mold, bent to the shape of a^ half-cylinder, forms a matrix,' in which is cast 
 the printing plate of type-metal, curved to the proper shape to fit the 
 cylinders of the press. From the Broadway colonnade we may see the 
 printing plates fastened on to the press cylinders, and the presses in opera- 
 tion. The paper is fed from rolls into one end of the press, and comes out 
 at the other end printed, pasted, cut, folded and counted. The largest 
 press has a capacity of 5,000 four-page papers per minute, 300.000 per hour; 
 or 2,500 eight-page papers per minute or 150,000 per hour. When we have 
 watched the Herald presses we have seen one of the mechanical marvels of 
 the age. From 9 to 12 in the morning visitors are escorted through the 
 building. 
 
 Times Square, at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh avenue, 
 from 42d street to 47th street, takes its name from the twenty-five-story 
 building of the New York Times, which dominates the district and is one 
 of the most conspicuous architectural monuments of the town. The 
 Square is a center of great hotels and amusement places. On the corner 
 of 42d street is the fourteen-story Hotel Knickerbocker, built by Col. John 
 Jacob Astor at a cost of $4,500,000; and two blocks above on the west, 
 side is the Hotel Astor, owned by William Waldorf Astor, and costing, 
 together with the site, $5,000,000. 
 
Riverside Drive. 
 
 A district of much interest is the plateau north of noth street, on the 
 West Side, between the Hudson River and Morningside Park. It contains 
 Grant's Tomb on Riverside Drive, and Columbia University and the 
 Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Morningside Heights. These several 
 points may be visited in connection. A convenient method is to go by 
 the Park stage line from 726. street on Riverside Drive to Grant's Tomb, 
 then to walk to Columbia and the Cathedral, and return by Amsterdam 
 avenue or Broadway (Boulevard) car. See list of routes elsewhere. 
 
 Riverside Park, which begins at 72d street, extends along the slopes 
 and bluffs of the Hudson for three miles to 130th street, forming what Sir 
 Henry Irving has pronounced the most magnificent residential avenue in 
 the world. It was a park in nature; and for the most part the natural 
 contours have been preserved, with many of the trees of the original forest. 
 Along the bluff, which in places attains an elevation of 130 feet, runs River- 
 side Drive, one of the grandest and most beautiful urban drives in the 
 world. It gives a succession of picturesque views of the Hudson and the 
 Palisades, and is lined on the east with fine houses. The "Riverside Sec- 
 tion" is one of the high-class residential districts. On the south side of 
 89th street is the home of Isaac L. Rice; on the north side that built by 
 Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark, now Mrs. Bishop Potter; at 90th street, the 
 home of John H. Matthews, the soda water manufacturer; 100th street, 
 Peter Doelger, the brewer ; I02d street, the house with a glass room on the 
 second floor, Mrs. Bertha Foster, whose husband made a fortune from a 
 patent glove hook; 108th street, S. G. Bayne, President of the Seaboard 
 National Bank. The New York Orpnan Asylum plot fronting the Drive, 
 from 73d to 74th streets, was acquired in 1001 by Charles M. Schwab, 
 President of the United States Steel Corporation, who paid for it $860,000. 
 and here Mr. Schwab has built at a reported cost of $2,000,000 one of the 
 most magnificent residences in America. 
 
 At 89th street is the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, to commemorate 
 the citizens of New York who had part in the Civil War. The structure is 
 modeled upon the choragic monuments of ancient Athens; it is a circular 
 building of pure white marble, with a peristyle of twelve Corinthian col- 
 umns, 35 feet high. It was provided by the city at a cost of $250,000, and 
 was dedicated in 1902. 
 
 A copy of Houdon's statue of Washington, a gift from the school 
 children of the city, stands at 89th street. The boat house of 
 Columbia is on the river bank at 115th street. Across the open fields at 
 116th street are seen the buildings of Columbia University and Barnard 
 College, and shortly beyond we come to the ascent upon which rises the 
 Tomb of General Grant. The spot is one of natural grandeur and beauty 
 of surroundings. The bluff rises 130 feet above the river, and is clothed 
 with great forest trees, good to look upon, and through the openings giv- 
 ing many lovely vistas. Below is the broad expanse of the Hudson, 
 animated here and there with sail and steam; opposite are the green 
 slopes of New Jersey, with the Palisades stretching away to the north until 
 they soften in the distance and merge in the purple haze. The view look-

 ing up the Hudson from Clareniont is justly famous. It would have been 
 difficult to find a grander site than this one on Riverside Drive for the 
 monumental pile which New York has erected here to the memory of 
 the great General. 
 
 This point of the Drive has retained the name of Claremont, from an 
 old family mansion, which stands north of the Tomb, and is now the 
 Claremont Inn restaurant. Beyond the Claremont slopes the east drive 
 circles and returns on the west side of the Tomb. A steel viaduct one-third 
 of a mile in length spanning Manhattan Valley provides for a northern 
 extension of the Drive to a connection with the Harlem Speedway, which 
 gives a continuous elevated boulevard for a distance of ten miles along 
 the Hudson and the Harlem. Ultimately the Riverside Drive will be ex- 
 tended to connect with Boulevard Lafayette. 
 
Grant's Comb 
 
 Grant's Tomb is on Riverside Drive at 123d street. For route? see else- 
 where. It is open daily, Sunday included, from 10 to 5. The monument 
 occupies a commanding site overlooking the Hudson, and is itself a con- 
 spicuous object in the river views. It was designed by John H. Duncan .and 
 is constructed of white granite from Maine, with white marble interior. 
 The proportions are imposing. The square structure is 90 feet on the side 
 and 72 feet in height : the circular cupola with Ionic columns is 70 feet in 
 diameter, and the dome rises 150 feet from the ground. The apex of the 
 monument is 280 feet above the river. From the plaza on the south side 
 steps 70 feet wide ascend to the portico, which has double lines of Doric 
 columns before the entrance, with its massive, bronze doors. Above the 
 portico two sculptured figures by J. Massey Rhind. emblematic of Peace 
 and War. flank a panel, on which are inscribed the words: Let us have 
 peace.* The decorative scheme provides for bronze statues and groups on 
 the portico, parapet and dome. 
 
 The interior plan is cruciform. 76 feet between the walls. The four 
 great piers of the rotunda carry arches whose crowns are 50 feet from 
 the floor : the circular gallery, supported by the arches, is 40 feet in diam- 
 eter: the dome rises 105 feet above the floor. In the pendentives sculptured 
 reliefs by Rhind symbolize Youth. Military Life, Civil Life and Death. In 
 small rooms surrounding the rotunda stands of battle flags will lend a 
 touch of color. The hush of the vast chamber, the mellowed light and the 
 simplicity and dignity of the architectural plan and details combine to give 
 solemnity to the place. 
 
 Through a circular opening in the floor the sarcophagus is seen in the 
 crypt directly beneath the center of the dome. It is of polished red porphyry 
 from Montello. Wis., and is supported upon a pedestal of granite from 
 Quincy. Mass. Upon the lid is the name Ulysses S. Grant. The com- 
 panion sarcophagus, a counterpart in material and design. was here provided 
 in compliance with an expressed wish of General Grant that Mrs. Grant 
 should lie by his side. 
 
 General Grant died at Mount McGregor, July 23. 1885. The remains 
 lay in state in the Xew York City Hall, and were viewed by 300.000 
 people before being conveyed to the temporary tomb at Riverside. The 
 funeral was the grandest pageant Xew York has seen. The procession 
 was eight miles in length, and it was estimated that an assemblage of 
 a million people lined the route. 
 
 The Tomb was built with a fund raised by the Grant Monument Asso- 
 ciation ; there were 90.000 contributors, and the fund with accrued interest 
 
 •This was the concluding sentence of General Grant's letter of May 29, 1868, accepting 
 the nomination for the Presidency. It was the expression of his earnest desire for 
 reconciliation between the North and the South. The historic phrase was well chosen 
 for perpetuation here. The Civil War was a conflict between brothers; its termination 
 meant the restoration of their union. It is fitting, then, that this monument to the 
 General, who commanded the victorious Union armies, should have inscribed upon it 
 not a record of his triumphs over the enemy, but the sentiment which he himself 
 uttered, significant of the end for which the battle had been fought— the "peace" ol 
 reconciled and reunited brothers— a peace the realization of which has made Grant's 
 achievements and fame the heritage ot a common country.

 aggregated $600,000. The cornerstone was laid by President Harrison, April 
 27, 1892. Sealed in it were copies of fhe Declaration of Independence, Con- 
 stitution of the United States and Articles of Confederation ; a Bible, the 
 "Memoirs" of General Grant, an American flag, badges of the Grand Army 
 of the Republic and the Loyal Legion, and eleven medals struck in United 
 States mints in commemoration of events in General Grant's life. On 
 April 27, 1897, the seventy-fifth anniversary of General Grant's birth, the 
 monument was dedicated with imposing ceremonies, a military, naval and 
 civic parade in which 50,000 men were in line, an address by President

 McKinley, and an oration by Gen. Horace Porter, President of the Grant 
 
 Monument Association. 
 
 Among the earliest contributors to the monument fund had been the 
 Chinese statesman. Li Hung Chang, between whom and General Grant a 
 friendship had existed since their meeting in China during the General's 
 trip around the world. Every year after General Grant's death Li Hung 
 Chang had sent to the Chinese Minister at Washington a wreath to be 
 placed at the tomb. When Li was in the United States in 1896 he visited 
 the temporary tomb at Riverside and laid upon the sarcophagus a wreath 
 of smilax, laurel and orchids. The following year he sent a gingko tree, to 
 be planted here ; it is on the north side of the Tomb, and the bronze tablet 
 ecords in Chinese and English texts:* 
 
 This tree is planted at the side of the tomb of General U. S. Grant, ex-President

 Earl of the First Order Yang Hu, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo- 
 .entiary of China, Vice President of the Board of Censors. Kwang Hsu, 23rd 
 year, 4th moon, May, 1897. 
 
 Xear Grant's Tomb, on the edge of the bluff, is a little monument mark- 
 ing the grave of "an amiable child." The inscription? have been blurred by 
 the passing of a hundred years, but we may read them still : 
 
 Erected to the memory of an amiable child. St. Claire Pollock, died 15 July, 
 1 797, in the 5 year of his age. 
 
 Man that is born of a woman is of few years and full of trouble. He cometh 
 forth like a flower and is cui down; he fleeth also asa shadow and continueth not. 
 
 At the time referred to this was called Strawberry Hill, and was the 
 
 country "home of George Pollock, a New York merchant. Shortly there- 
 after Mr. Pollock failed in business, war forced to sell his Strawberry 
 Hill property, and went to England. In a letter which he wrote thence to 
 Mrs. Gulian-C/'Verplanck, under date of Jan. 18, 1800, we have this record 
 of the child's grave : 
 
 There is a small enclosure near your boundary fence within which lie the remains of 
 a favorite child, covered by a marble monument. . . The surrounding ground will 
 tall into the hands of^J know not whom, whose prejudice or better taste may remove! 
 the.monument andriay fhe enclosure open. You will confer a peculiar and interesting 
 favor upon me by allowing me to convey the enclosure to you, so that you will con« 
 sider it a part of your own estate, keeping it, however, always enclosed and sacred. 
 There is a white marble funeral urn prepared to place on the monument which will 
 not lessen its beauty. I have long considered those grounds as. of my own creation 
 having selected them when wild, and brought the place to its present form. Having 
 so long and so delightfully resided there, I feel an interest in it that I cannot get 
 rid of but with time. 
 
 It is an extremely curious and interesting circumstance that the little 
 grave, which was in 1800 the subject of a father's solicitude, should have 
 endured through the vicissitudes of a hundred years, and been preserved 
 amid the changes which have converted the remote country seat of Straw- 
 berry Hill into the Riverside Park of to-day — the spot of isolated seclusion 
 into a place of thronging thousands. More suggestive still is that chance 
 of time which has brought into juxtaposition here on Riverside Drive the 
 magnificent Tomb of the great General — a nation's shrine, and the humble 
 grave of "an amiable child," who died more than a century ago "in the 5 I 
 year of his age." 
 
 •With the gingko or maidenhair (Salisburia adianti folia) was planted as a companion 
 tree a Chinese cork tree (Phellodendron amurense). 
 
morningside ^eights 
 
 Columbia University is on Morningside Heights, between Broadway and Amster- 
 dam avenue, 116th to 120th street. 
 
 President Seth Low of Columbia University called the Morningside 
 Heights the "Acropolis of the New World" ; and to make good the name 
 has crowned the plateau with the Low Memorial Library, pure Greek in 
 design and with Pallas Athene at the threshold. The Library was given by 
 President Low as a memorial of his father. Abiel Abbott Low, a citizen of 
 Brooklyn and merchant of New York. The Library fronts on 116th street 
 and is approached by the South Court, which is the principal entrance to 
 the University grounds. The court is 350 by 130 feet, and consists of a 
 paved esplanade, with granite wall and balustrade on three sides, and great 
 Italian stone vases, fountains, flowers and shrubs, and broad steps 
 leading up to the Library grade, 10 feet above the street. It is in the 
 Italian style, and is an architectural feature unique in America. The two 
 Irish yews, one on each side of the stairway, were brought to America 
 more than a century ago, and were transplanted here from the old college 
 site in 49th street. The flag standard was presented by Lafayette Post, No. 
 140, G. A. R. The Library building, of Indiana limestone on a granite 
 base, cost $1,500,000, and is considered one of the purest examples of 
 classical Greek architecture in America. The plan is that of a Maltese 
 cross, the central feature being the rotunda, vaulted by the immense dome. 
 A panel above the portico contains the record of Columbia's past: 
 
 King's College, founded in the Province of New York by royal charter in the 
 reign of George II. Perpetuated as Columbia College by the people of the State 
 of New York, when they became free and independent: maintained and cherished 
 from generation to generation for the advancement of the public good and the 
 glory of Almighty God. 
 
 In the Library is treasured the old iron crown that once formed the finial 
 of King's College. With its 285.000 volumes the Library ranks fourth in 
 value of book collections in this country. The reading room is open to 
 the public daily and at night. 
 
 The group of buildings of which the Library is the center will number 
 fifteen. Those completed are the Engineering Building, Earl, Havemeyer, 
 Schermerhorn and Fayerweather Halls, and the first story of University 
 Hall, which when completed will contain a gymnasium, a theater and a 
 dining hall. The University grounds of eighteen acres cost $2,000,000. The 
 Campus, at the north end of the grounds, with its groves of oaks and chest- 
 nuts, is surrounded with a massive iron fence; this has on the Broadway 
 side a bronze gate, which is a memorial of Herbert Mapes ('90 Arts and '92 
 Mines), who shortly after graduation sacrificed his life in an endeavor to 
 rescue two girls from death by drowning. 
 
 Columlr'a occupies historic ground. Embedded in the masonry of the 
 Engineering Building on the Broadway side is a bronze tablet erected by 
 the Sons of the Revolution — 
 
 To commemorate the Battle of Harlem Heights, won by Washington's troops on 
 this site, September 16, 1776. 
 
 The relief pictures the charge of the Rangers and riflemen under Major 
 Andrew Leitch, of Virginia, and Colonel Thomas Knowlton, of Connecti-

 cut. Leitch is represented as fallen, and Knowlton with waving sword 
 encouraging his men. Both were mortally wounded in the charge, Knowl- 
 ton bequeathing to us his dying declaration, "I do not value my life if we 
 but get the day." In the main battle which followed, on the plateau which 
 lies to the west, the Americans did "get the day" in the face of superior 
 numbers, and won a victory which inspired lasting courage and confidence 
 in the Patriot army. 
 
 Across Broadway from Columbia is Barnard College, for women, the 
 three halls — Fisk, Milbank and Brinkerhoff — forming an attractive quad- 
 rangle on 119th street. The College took its name from Dr. Charles 
 Barnard, a former President of Columbia ; it is a department of the 
 University. Hamilton Court, a dormitory for Columbia students, with 
 rooms for 1.000. is on Amsterdam avenue northeast of the University 
 grounds. The Columbia Boat House on the Hudson at the foot of 115th St. 
 was given by* Edwin Gould, a graduate of 1888. The athletic field is at 
 Williamsbridge. The College of Physicians and Surgeons, a department of 
 Columbia, is on West 59th street. 
 
 Teachers College, opposite Columbia, at 120th street, is for the training 
 of teachers. It was founded in 1886 by Miss Grace Dodge, and is now a 
 part of Columbia University. The Horace Mann School is a large private 
 school conducted in connection with the College. Visitors are welcome 
 from Monday to Friday inclusive, in the College from 9 to $, and in the 
 School from 9 to 1. The Kindergarten hours for visitors are 9 to 1 on 
 Tuesday and Thursday. Visitors from a distance will be received at other 
 times.

 CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE.

 The Cathedral of St. John the Divine (Protestant Episcopal) is 
 building on Cathedral Height?, a name which has been given to the southern 
 end of Morningside Heights, between Morningside Park and Amsterdam 
 avenue. The site, which embraces three city blocks, from noth to 113th 
 streets, cost $850,000. The cornerstone was laid in 1892; the Belmont 
 Chapel has been finished, and the whole structure will be built in from 
 forty to fifty years, at an estimated cost of $6,000,000. The architects are 
 Heins & La Farge. 
 
 The Cathedral will face the west. The exterior length will be 520 feet, 
 width of front 172 feet, across the transepts 290 feet. Of the seven towers, 
 the four on the sides will be 158 feet, the two in front 284 feet, and the 
 central tower will rise 445 feet from floor to top of cross. The nave will 
 be 180 feet long, the chancel vault 115 feet high. Thus it is seen that the 
 Cathedral will surpass any ecclesiastical edifice in America, and in its 
 dignity of design, grandeur of proportions and superb situation, will take 
 rank with the great cathedrals of the Old World. 
 
 At the suggestion of Bishop Potter, there will be surrounding the Choir 
 seven Chapels of Tongues, in which Sabbath sen-ices will be held in seven 
 different languages. The Gerrrian Chapel will be the first one built. 
 
 A feature of the Choir will be the eight pillars surrounding the three

 sides of the altar; these will be mammoth monoliths of polished Maine 
 granite, each one 54 feet 6 inches high and 6 feet in diameter, and weighing 
 120 tons. These are building stones surpassed only by the 60-foot columns 
 in the Cathedral of St. Isaac in St. Petersburg. The cost of the eight 
 pillars in position will be $200,000. • 
 
 The Crypt, which was quarried out of the solid rock, has been com- 
 pleted, and services are held in it on Sunday. The Crypt is open to 
 visitors on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 4 to 6 P. M. For 
 visits at other times parties of five or more may arrange with the sexton, 
 C. F. Barnard, at 110th street and Amsterdam avenue. There is no admis- 
 sion fee at any time. The Crypt contains the Tiffany Chapel, which 
 attracted so much attention at the World's Fair at Chicago. On the walls 
 are hung two of the eight Barberini tapestries which will be used for the 
 mural adornment of the completed Cathedral. They picture "Scenes from 
 the Life of Christ." The two in the Crypt are "The Visit of the Wise Men" 
 and "The Resurrection." These tapestries were among the weaves of the 
 celebrated Papal tapestry manufactory, founded by Cardinal Barberini at 
 Rome in 1633, under patronage of Pope Urban VIII. They were intended 
 
120

 for the Barberini Palace, and remained in the Barberini family until, a few 
 years ago, the Princess Barberini was induced to sell them to provide a 
 dowry for a daughter. They were purchased for $75,000 by Mrs. Elizabeth 
 U. Coles, and by her were bequeathed to the Cathedral. 
 
 Opposite the Cathedral grounds on 113th street is St. Luke's Hospital, 
 Protestant Episcopal, one of the noble institutions of the city, 
 
 IH fiarktn River and Beyond, 
 
 The Harlem River, seven miles long, separates Manhattan Island from 
 the mainland. It connects the Hudson with the East River and Long 
 Island Sound, and Congress has made it a ship canal for approach to the 
 Sound without going through Hell Gate. For much of its course it flows 
 through a picturesque valley, and the natural attractions, together with the 
 great bridges which span the river, make it a popular resort. All the 
 points here named are on the west side of the city. 
 
 The Viaduct at 155th street, four-fifths mile long, which connects Wash- 
 ington Heights, by way of the Central Bridge, with Jerome avenue, was 
 built at a cost of $2,000,000, and ranks as one of the greatest of the engi- 
 neering works of its class. Below the Viaduct, on Eighth avenue, are the 
 New York ball grounds. On the crest of Washington Heights, north of the 
 Viaduct, is seen the Jumel Mansion. 
 
 The Jumel Mansion, a fine example of Colonial architecture, at 160th 
 Street near Amsterdam Avenue, is the most famous historic house on 
 Manhattan Island. It was built in 1763 by Roger Morris, the husband 
 of that Mary Philipse, for whose hand the young Virginia Colonel, 
 George Washington, is said to have been an unsuccessful suitor. When 
 'he Revolutionary War began, Roger Morris, who had resigned a 
 Lieutenant-Colonelcy in the British Army and who was then a member 
 of the King's Council for the Colonies, fled the country, taking ship for 
 England in May. 1775. Mrs. Morris remained in possession of the 
 Mansion and of her town house at the corner of Stone Street and White 
 Hall. General Washington took the Mansion for his headquarters on 
 his retreat from New York and occupied it for thirty-six days. The 
 great salon in the extension was his Council Chamber and the rear 
 room above was his bedroom. The house fell into the hands of the 
 British with the capture of Fort Washington and was the headquarters 
 of General Sir Henry Clinton in the summer of 1777, and of Lieut-Gen. 
 Baron von Knyphausen in 1778. After the war it was a tavern on the 
 Albany stage road, the first stopping place out of New York, where the 
 first change of horses was made. The house was then known as Calumet 
 Hall. It was a farm house in 1790, when General Washington gave a 
 dinner in the old house to his Cabinet officers and their ladies. Among 
 his guests were Alexander Hamilton and Mrs. Hamilton, John Adams 
 and Abigail Adams, his wife, General and Mrs. Knox, Thomas Jefferson 
 and Mrs. Tobias Leer. The estate, comprising the Mansion and thirty- 
 six acres of land, were bought in 1810 by Stephen Jumel, a rich French 
 merchant, from Leonard Parkinson, for a little less than $10,000. M. 
 Jumel was an ardent admirer of Washington, and he devoted his money 
 and his energy to restoring the house to what it had been in Washing-

 ion's time. He had the old green Colonial paper reproduced in France 
 and restored to the walls of the 'Council Chamber, where it hung alto- 
 gether for 120 years. In 1815 he went to France in his own ship, the 
 "Eliza," named after his wife, who accompanied him, with the purpose 
 of bringing back Napoleon to the house that had sheltered Washington. 
 The Emperor was unable to accept the hospitality of M. Jumel, but he 
 gave to the Jumels his traveling" carriage and his campaigning trunk. 
 The Egyptian Cyprus trees, now standing at the corner of St. Nicholas 
 Avenue and 159th Street, which had just been given to Napoleon by 
 the Khedive of Egypt, were sent to America by M. Jumel in 1815. After 
 the death of her husband, Madame Jumel married Aaron Burr, but soon 
 divorced him. She was a famous historical character, who used to 
 drive in a coach and four with postillions. She entertained such famous 
 guests as Lafayette, Louis Napoleon, Joseph Bonaparte and Jerome Bona- 
 parte. She died in 1865. The house is owned by the city, and with the 
 grounds is included in the park system. It is in the care of the Wash- 
 ington Headquarters' Association of the Daughters of the American 
 Revolution and contains a museum of Revolutionary relics. It is open 
 to visitors on every day in the year from 9 o'clock A. M, to 5 P. M. 
 The nearest station on the Subway is at 156th Street and Broadway, and 
 by the Elevated at 155th Street. 
 
 High Bridge, at West 175th street, carries across the Harlem the original 
 Croton aqueduct, which brings the city water from Croton River and Lake 
 in Westchester county. The bridge is 1,460 feet in length; the crown of the 
 highest of the fourteen arches is 116 feet above the river. The bridge 
 footway affords fine views, and from below the arches gives many pleasing 
 vistas. At the Manhattan end is the water tower shown in our illustra-

 tion, and back of this is -a high-service reservoir; it is worth while climbing 
 to the top for the view. The grounds adjacent constitute the High Bridge 
 Park. 
 
 The original Croton waterworks were completed in 1842 ; the aqueduct 
 is thirty miles long, and has a flowing capacity of 90,000.000 gallons daily. 
 In 1890 a second aqueduct was opened, which extends from Croton Lake to 
 135th street, a distance of thirty and one-half miles, and has a capacity of 
 290,000,000 gallons in twenty-four hours. The average depth of the tunnel 
 under ground is 170 feet, in some places reaching 350 feet. It goes under 
 the Harlem through solid rock 307 feet below the bed of the river, and then 
 rises 400 feet in a perpendicular shaft at the point where the stone water 
 station is seen between High Bridge and Washington Bridge. The aque- 
 duct is the largest tunnel in the world; five years were spent in building 
 it, and the cost was nearly $20,000,000. The average daily consumption 
 of water in Manhattan and the Bronx is about 251.000,000 gallons; the esti- 
 mated supply available when new dams now building shall be completed will 
 be 280,000,000. Brooklyn gets its water from Long Island. 
 
 The Speedway (Harlem River Driveway) is a road on the west bank of 
 the Harlem, built by the city at a cost of nearly $3 000,000, for the special 
 use of drivers of fast horses. It is four and one-quarter miles in length, 
 beginning at 155th street and extending north to Dykeman street, where 
 connection is made with the extension of Riverside Drive. The Speedway 
 races on pleasant afternoons attract thousands of spectators. For route 
 sec Speedway in general list of routes. 
 
 The Washington Bridge, just north of High Bridge, at West 181 st 
 street, is an imposing structure of steel, iron and granite, in size and grandeur 
 of proportions second only to the Brooklyn Bridge. It is 2,384 feet in length, 
 and 80 feet wide; the two central arches have a span of 510 feet each, and 
 their crowns are 135 feet above the river. The cost was nearly $2,700,000. 
 Bordering the east approach are the grounds of the Ogden estate. The 
 river slope has been made a public park. On the east bank of the river 
 are the tracks of the New York Central, and New York & Putnam roads; 
 on the west side is the Speedway. The view to the north is toward Kings- 
 bridge. On the left are Washington Heights, and Fort George, named

 from a Revolutionary redoubt and now given over to beer saloons. The 
 Isabella Heimath, on the crest of the hill near Fort George, is a home for 
 old men and women ; it was given in memory of Anna Ottendorfer by her 
 husband, Oswald Ottendorfer, founder of the Staats-Zeitung, On the east 
 side of the river are Morris Heights and University Heights, where may 
 be seen the dome of the University Library. Beyond is the tower of the 
 Webb Academy and Home for Shipbuilders, founded at a cost of $2,000,000 
 by the New York shipbuilder, William H. Webb. 
 
 The Hall of Fame for Great Americans is at University Heights, and 
 is reached by the Sixth avenue elevated to 155th street, thence N. Y. & 
 Putnam R. R. to Morris Heights station. The Hall, which is one of the 
 buildings enclosing the campus of the New York University, is a granite 
 colonnade 500 feet in length, built about the Library. It contains 150 
 panels, in which will be set bronze tablets for the names of 150 great 
 Americans. The selection of the subjects to be honored is entrusted to a 
 committee of 100 members, made up of college presidents, educators, pro- 
 fessors of history, scientists, publicists, editors, authors and chief justices, 
 the selection finally to be approved by the New York University Senate. 
 Only persons born in the United States and deceased at least ten years 
 are eligible. Twenty-nine names were chosen in 1900; eleven others were

 the completed edifice will have cost $250,000. 
 
 Bronx Park 
 
 For route see general list of routes elsewhere. 
 
 Bronx Park lies on both sides of the Bronx River, between Williams- 
 bridge and West Farms. The river, which took its name from Jonas 
 Broncks, one of the early Dutch proprietors, rises near the Connecticut 
 line, and flows into Long Island Sound. It is a river in name only, and 
 one only needs to look upon the narrow and shallow stream to appreciate 
 the humor of the command sent by the British authorities to Lord Admiral 
 Howe, to "send a couple of frigates up the Bronx River to protect our 
 forces and fire into the enemy whenever seen/' 
 
 The river as we see it in the Park is a picturesque stream flowing between 
 rocky dells and through peaceful reaches, and presenting many charming 
 bits of scenery. It was resorted to by artists and pictured on many a 
 canvas long before the conversion of the territory into a park revealed its 
 loveliness to the public eye. As with other recently acquired parks which 
 have absorbed private estates, Bronx Pari: retains relics of a former 
 occupancy. On the river slope in one of the most charming glens is the 
 Lorillard mansion, which was built about 1855 by Pierre Lorillard. and is 
 now used for park and police purposes. On the opposite side of the stream 
 below the bridge is the site of the old Lorillard snuff mill, whose wheels 
 turned by the Bronx waterpower ground out in snuff the Lorillard fortune. 
 Appropriately enough, the Botanical Garden gardeners now grow near 
 the old mill specimens of the several varieties of tobacco. An interesting 
 natural feature of the Park is the Rocking Stone. This is a granite 
 boulder deposited in the glacial epoch, and poised so perfectly upon a 
 granite pedestal that the human arm may cause it to rock in an arc of 
 about 2 inches. The stone is 7 feet high. 10 feet broad and 8 feet through, 
 having an estimated weight of 30 tons. It is in the Zoological Park. Of 
 the 662 acres comprised in the Park area. 250 have been given to a botanical 
 garden, and 261 to a zoological park. Both institutions are corporations, 
 managed by trustees and occupying their sites by an arrangement with 
 the city. 
 
 The New York Botanical Garden, in Bronx Park, near the Bedford 
 Park Station of the Harlem Railroad, is open daily. Sunday included, 
 from 9 to 5 ; the Museum from 9 130 to 5. Admission is free. The Museum 
 contains collections of Economic Botany, showing vegetable products, 
 processes of manufacture and uses to which nut, as various fibres, wood

 made into paper, sugar cane into refined sugar, chocolate, cork, cottonseed 
 wines, cereals, turpentine, etc. The collections of Scientific Botany include 
 the famous Torrey Herbarium deposited by Columbia University and valued 
 at $175 000. The conservatories contain tens of thousands of growing 
 plants, shrubs and trees, gathered from all quarters of the globe, many 
 rare and costly, such as the palms given by Miss Helen Gould and the 
 wonderfully great anthurium given by Mrs. F. L. Ames, of North Easton, 
 Mass. The outdoor beds and plantations show many family groups of 
 plants, flowers, shrubs and trees ; and there are miles of walks with flower 
 borders. In value and completeness the Garden will rival the Kew 
 Gardens of London and the Jardin des Plantes of Paris. 
 
 The New York Zoological Park has an ideal site in Bronx Park, and is 
 in plan and extent unequalled by any institution of its class in the world. 
 The outdoor ranges for mammals, the reptile house and the vast flying 
 cage for birds have been prepared with a view to approximating as closely 
 as possible the natural conditions of life of the occupants, and the very 
 successful way in which this has been accomplished enables us to see the 
 animals as they are in nature. The Society's Official Guide may be pro- 
 cured at the entrance. There is a restaurant on the grounds. 
 
 Uan gortlandt Park. 
 
 • 
 
 Van Cortlandt Park, at the extreme north end of the city, comprises 
 in its diversified area a high ridge which carries the Croton aqueduct, a 
 wide level plain which is a parade ground of the National Guard, and a 
 lake resorted to in winter by skaters and players of the Scotch game of 
 curling ; then there are golf links, ball grounds, and, as the chief thing of 
 interest, the Van Cortlandt Mansion. The house is an interesting example 
 of Dutch architecture. It was built by Frederick Van Cortlandt in 1748; 
 and the thick rubble stone walls are as solid to-day as a century and a 
 half ago. Near by is the old saw and grist mill. A row of horse chestnuts 
 is reputed to be 175 years old. In 1896 the house was given by the Park 
 Commission into the custody of the Colonial Dames of the State of New 
 York, by whom it is maintained as a public museum. It is open daily. 10 to 
 6 in summer. 10 to 5 in winter ; 2 to 6 on Sunday. Admission 25 cents on 
 Thursdays ; on other days free. The interior has an old-fashioned air. but 
 it tells all through the story of substantial means and <renprou<; 1-V : n~ 
 There are huge fireplaces faced with scriptural tiles, deep window seats, a 
 generous wine closet in the wall, a big Dutch oven in the kitchen, and a 
 cellar with massive hand-hewn beams of cedar and cypress, and 3-foot walls 
 loop-holed for muskets. Washington made his headquarters here on his 
 way to the entry of New York in 1783, and the Washington Room is now 
 the museum, containing many Colonial and Revolutionary mementoes, 
 among them the four-post bedstead on which Washington slept. Al- 
 together, the Van Cortlandt House is the best relic New York has of the 
 old regime, and it is a charming place to visit. 
 
Cbe Subway 
 
 Manhattan Island is long and narrow, with the business district in I 
 
 the lower parts of the city and the homes in the upper part. This presents! 
 a most difficult transportation problem. Morning and evening the human I 
 flood sets south and north, and the surface and elevated lines are con-l 
 gested. The solution of the problem is to provide underground rapid! 
 transit systems. Plans for the first underground road were adopted in] 
 1899, and the contract for building was awarded to John B. McDonald,] 
 on his bid of $35,000,000, reputed to be the largest individual contract ever! 
 let. The city paid this sum for the construction, and leased the road to! 
 the contractor for fifty years, under an arrangement by which at thej 
 expiration of that term the city will have received back the money paid! 
 for the road, and may then take over the equipment at a price fixed by J 
 arbitration. The work of construction was begun in 1900, and the roadj 
 was in operation in 1904. 
 
 The Rapid Transit Railroad extends from the Battery north to Spuytenl 
 Duyvil Creek on the west, and Bronx Park on the east. Ultimately, byj 
 connection with the Manhattan-Brooklyn Tunnel the rapid transit system! 
 will extend from Brooklyn to the Bronx. Beginning at the Battery the! 
 road follows Broadway to Park Row, thence up Park Row, with a loopj 
 in City Hall Park; Lafayette Street (Elm Street), Fourth Avenue, Park! 
 Avenue. Forty-second Street, Broadway to 169th Street, West End Ave-I

 lue to Sherman's Creek, Ellwood Avenue to Inwood Street, and Broad- 
 way to 230th Street, Kingsbridge. At 104th Street the East Side Line 
 diverges to Lenox Avenue at 110th Street, then runs up Lenox Avenue, 
 under the Harlem River, and through 149th Street, Westchester Avenue, 
 Southern Boulevard and Boston Road to Bronx Park. 
 
 The Subway is rectangular, being 25 feet wide for the two-track sections, 
 50 feet wide for the four-track sections, and 13 feet high throughout. It 
 has a concrete bed and a steel frame construction, as shown in the illus- 
 tration on page 125. Throughout most of the length the road was exca- 
 vated from the surface. A trench was dug, the bottom was lined with a 
 concrete flooring; then a rectangular framework of steel beams was 
 erected, with concrete walls and roof; and on the outside were spread 
 ilayers of asphalt and roofing felt. The Subway is thus for the most part 
 |a covered trench with the roof near the surface, and the stairs leading 
 ito the station platforms do not have longer flights than those of the 
 lelevated roads. On Broadway, from Sixtieth to 104th Streets, the Sub- 
 way is lighted by skylights in the center of the street. The tunneling is 
 (principally in the section under Central Park (at Columbus Avenue and 
 [104th Street 80 feet below the surface), and in the Fort Washington sec- 
 tion, where the rock tunnel through the hill of gneiss along Broadway 
 • and Eleventh Avenue, from 158th Street to a point near Fort George, is 
 itwo miles long, being next to the Hoosac Tunnel the longest one in the 
 United States. At 125th Street the West Side Line emerges and crosses 
 Manhattan Valley on a viaduct to 135th Street, where it enters a tunnel, 
 and at 190th Street is more than 100 feet below the surface. At 169th and

 181st Streets the stations are hollowed out of the solid rock no feet under- 
 ground, and are reached by elevators. The tracks are carried under the 
 Harlem River on two steel cylinder tubes encased in concrete. 
 
 The motive power is electricity (third-rail system). The running time 
 from City Hall Park to Ninety-sixth Street is 13 minutes for express 
 trains, and 21 minutes for local trains. 
 
 With a total length of 21 miles, New York's $35,000,000 tunnel is the 
 longest railroad tunnel in the world. Its construction was one of the 
 great engineering enterprises of the twentieth century. The figures of the 
 excavation and the construction are prodigious. There were 3,212,000 
 cubic yards of material to be taken out — 1,900,000 of earth and 1,312,000 
 of rock. The construction called for 65,000 tons of steel, 8.000 tons of 
 cast iron, 551,000 cubic yards of concrete, 910,000 square yards of water- 
 proofing for making the Subway absolutely dry. 
 
 The largest stations are those at Brooklyn Bridge, Union Square at 
 Fourteenth Street, and I02d Street. The stations are lined with tile, and a 
 system of distinctive architecture and color schemes has been employed, 
 so that a station may be known by its own particular wall colors. 
 
 At Thirty-fourth Street and Park Avenue is one of the most remarkable 
 street intersection corners in the world. On the surface run the Thirty- 
 fourth Street cars. One flight down are the Madison Avenue cars ; two 
 flights down the Rapid Transit Subway; and three flights down the Penn- 
 sylvania Railroad Tunnel. 
 
tunnels and terminals. 
 
 Manhattan— Brool ly n. 
 
 1. The Manhattan-Brooklyn Tunnel is an extension of the Rapid 
 'ransit Railroad subway system under the East River to the foot of 
 oralemon street; thence to Fulton street and Flatbush avenue and to 
 he junction of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues, where is the station of the 
 ,ong Island Railroad. The tunnel was opened in January, 1908, to the 
 borough Hall station. Under the river the construction consists of two 
 ast-iron tubes, inside diameter 15 feet 6 inches, length 6,790 feet. Trains 
 ass to Brooklyn through the south tube and return through the north 
 ube. The grade is 3.1 per 100 feet, the descent and ascent of the train 
 eing scarcely perceptible. The tunnel is everywhere below water level, 
 intil it rises at a point 700 feet before reaching the Borough Hall station, 
 t passes through rock (two stretches of 2.700 feet and 400 feet) and 
 and, clay and gravel formations. The lowest point reached by the 
 unnel is 94 feet below mean high water. Certain portions which pass 
 lirough sand are given added strength by concrete piles sunk to bedrock, 
 t depths varying from 5 to 75 feet. The motive power is electricity, by 
 he third-rail system. The tunnel was constructed by the builders of the 
 tapid Transit Railroad, whose bid for the tunnel and terminals was 
 ;3,ooo,ooo. The actual cost exceeded $10,000,000. The tunnel will be 
 »perated by the constructing company for a term of thirty-five years, 
 vhen it is to revert to the city, under conditions similar to those which 
 ontrol in the Rapid Transit Railroad contract. 
 
 New York — New Jersey. 
 
 2. The McAdoo Tunnels under the North River. There are two pairs 
 >f these connected by the Jersey City subway, the Morton street tubes 
 
 15th street, Jersey City, and the Cortlandt street tubes to Montgomery 
 treet, Jersey City, The Morton street line extends under Greenwich 
 md Christopher streets to Sixth avenue, and under the avenue to the 
 erminal at 33d street and Sixth avenue. There are stations at Christo- 
 ilier and Greenwich streets, where connection is made with the Ninth 
 V venue Elevated ; Christopher street and Sixth avenue, with connection 
 vith the Sixth Avenue Elevated; and at Fourteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty- 
 hird, Twenty-eighth and Thirty-third streets. 
 
 The Cortlandt street tubes have their outlet in the vast Terminal 
 Buildings on Church street, extending from Cortlandt to Fulton; and 
 here is connection also with the Subway at Fulton street. 
 
 In Jersey City the center of the system is the terminal station, hewn 
 mt of the solid rock, 85 feet below the Pennsylvania Railroad train shed, 
 md reached from the Pennsylvania terminal by elevators. Two branches 
 extend west, rising to the surface, for electric cars from Manhattan to 
 Newark and other New Jersey points ; and two other lines run north to 
 he Lackawanna station; and connection is afforded also with the Erie 
 Railroad. 
 
 The tunnels are tubes constructed of steel rings overlaid with con- 
 'rete. In each tunnel there is a separate tube for each track; ventilation 
 
 1 secured by the action of the train which forces the air ahead of it. 
 rhe tubes are 15 feet in interior diameter. They lie about 30 feet apart

 and are from 60 to 90 feet below the surface of the Hudson, the depllj 
 of earth between the tunnel and the water ranging from 15 to 40 feeN 
 The deepest part is on the New York side. 
 
 3. The Belmont Tunnels from the foot of East 42d street to Lonj 
 Island City, the two tubes there looping and connecting with surface line 
 in Queens County. 
 
 4. The Pennsylvania Railroad tunnels under the Hudson River; am 
 their connections, the Long Island Railroad tunnels under the East River 
 forming parts of the great Pennsylvania terminal which is described oi 
 page 146. 
 
 The Queensboro Bridge. 
 
 The Blackwell's Island Bridge extends across the East River frori 
 East Fifty-ninth street, in the Borough of Manhattan, to Ravenswood, i' 
 the Borough of Queens, and is supported by two piers rising fron 
 Blackwell's Island. In weight and carrying capacity it is the greates 
 cantilever -bridge in the world. The length of the bridge proper is 3,72. 
 feet 6 inches; the entire length, including the approaches, is 8,231 feei 
 The Manhattan approach, built chiefly of masonry, 1,051 feet in lengtl: 
 extends to a pier on the river edge. Here the truss construction begin 
 with the shore arm, 470 feet in length, of the westerly cantilever. Th< 
 river span west of the island consists of two cantilever arms, each 59 
 feet in length, making a total westerly river span of 1,182 feet, dimen 
 sions exceeded only by the other New York structures, the Brooklyi 
 Bridge with a span of 1,595 f eet > tne Williamsburg Bridge, 1,600 feet, an< 
 Scotland's great bridge across the Frith of Forth, 1,710 feet. The spa; 
 between the two piers on Blackwell's Island is 630 feet; the river spai 
 east of the island is 984 feet; the shore arm of the easterly cantilever i 
 459 feet; the Long Island approach is 3,455 feet. The superstructure i 
 carred on masonry towers which are 185 feet in height above the bottor 
 chord. The clear height of the bridge above mean high water is 135 fee' 
 The carrying capacity is enormous. There are two floors, the lower on' 
 86 feet wide between railings, the upper one 67 feet. The lower floo 
 carries a roadway 56 feet wide for street and vehicular traffic, and havin; 
 two trolley tracks ; and two other trolley tracks are carried on extension 
 of the floor beams. On the upper floor is provision for four elevate' 
 tracks and two 13-foot sidewalks. The sustaining strength of the bridg 
 has been calculated for the upbearing of 250 rapid transit cars carryin; 
 30,000 passengers, 300 trolley cars with 30,000 passengers, a congeste 
 traffic on the promenades of 55,000 persons, and on the roadway 
 100,000 — a total of 215,000. The bridge was designed by Gustav Linden 
 1 hal. Its cost was $20,000,000. 
 
the (Uorld Dome. 
 
 The Pulitzer (or World) Building affords from the lantern of the 
 dome the best downtown view accessible by the public. The building itself 
 is notable. It has twenty-two stories and an extreme height of 375^2 feet. 
 The pressroom in the basement is open to visitors. The presses have a 
 capacity for printing, folding and counting 672,000 eight-page papers 
 per hour. 
 
 The tower is open from 8:30 A. M. to 6 P. M. An admission fee of 
 5 cents goes to a charitable fund. The view is one long to be remem- 
 bered. In the East are the Brooklyn Bridge, East River, Brooklyn and 
 the hills of Long Island. The Navy Yard (north of the Bridge) may be 
 distinguished by the receiving ship, which looks like a huge yellow Noah's 
 'Ark. Beyond, stretching its mighty span across the East River, is the 
 new bridge; between its towers is seen one of the Sugar Trust's re- 
 fineries. To the right of the Brooklyn Bridge the tower on the horizon 
 is the Brooklyn waterworks; to its right, are the wooded heights of 
 Prospect Park, and further to the right, Greenwood Cemetery. In that 
 direction lies the ocean. 
 
 South is Governor's Island with the circular Castle Williams fronting 
 the Bay. In the distance beyond the island are the Narrows, the opening 
 between Long Island and Staten Island, through which New York's com- 
 merce passes to the Lower Bay on its way to sea. The high land to the 
 right of the Narrows is Staten Island. The Statue of Liberty is hidden 
 from view by the Park Row Building. 
 
 West is the North or Hudson River, with New Jersey beyond, Jersey 
 City in the foreground and the Orange Mountains in the distance. The 
 huge depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad is a conspicuous landmark. North 
 of Jersey City are Hoboken, Weehawken and the Palisades of the Hudson. 
 
 North, stretching away as far as the eye can reach, the city lies spread 
 put in a confused and bewildering expanse of street chasms, walls, roofs, 
 chimneys, towers and steeples. We may note some of the landmarks : The 
 immense building with the clock-tower is the New York Life ; to the right 
 of its tower is the Mills Hotel; the gilded dome with the flag is Siegel- 
 Cooper's; in line with the east end of the New York Life is the red pile 
 of the Waldorf-Astoria; beyond and to the right of this rise the white 
 spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral. This side of the New York Life the 
 highest buildings are the Central Bank, the Dun (white marble with 
 rounded corners) and the Broadway Chambers, with the lions' heads under 
 the cornice. Across the park are the Home Life (white with red peaked 
 roof) and the Postal Telegraph. The distant red building in line with 
 the Dun is the U. S. Public Stores; on the heights beyond it is Wee- 
 lawken. On the Hoboken heights in line with the Broadway Chambers 
 s the Monastery of the Passionist Fathers. 
 
 Immediately below us on the north is the Brooklyn Bridge entrance; and 
 the elevated railroad winds its course to the Bowery, which begins just 
 :here at the curve where the road disappears from view. Extending 
 straight north is Centre street; beyond the shot-tower is the new City

 Greater New York comprises the five Boroughs of Manhattan, Brona 
 Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond. The Borough of Manhattan include 
 Manhattan Island and Governor's, Ellis, Bedloe's, Blackwell's, Ward's 
 Randall's and Riker islands. The Borough of the Bronx comprises all tha 
 portion between the Harlem and Long Island Sound. The Borough o 
 Brooklyn includes all of Kings county. The Borough of Queens include 
 all the annexed district lying in Queens county. The Borough of Rich! 
 mond includes all of Staten Island. 
 
 The population by the census of 1900 was, for the several Boroughs' 
 Manhattan — 1.850,093. Bronx — 200,507. Brooklyn — 1,166,582. Queens- 
 152.999. Richmond — 67,021. Total — 3.437.202. 
 
 By Federal Census estimate of 1906 the population was 4.1 13.043, a 
 increase over 1900 of 675,841. Estimated population 1908, in excess 
 4,250,000. 
 
 The Bowery extends from Chatham Square north to Cooper Unioi 
 where Third and Fourth avenues diverge. In the old Dutch days it was th 
 Bouwerie Lane between the bouweries or farms; and later it became th 
 Boston Post Road ; a mile-stone at Rivington street still marks one mil 
 from the old City Hall in Wall street. Almost as remote as the Dutc 
 farmers who gave it its name are the Bowery Boys, who fifty years ag 
 made the street famous. The peculiar features of the old Bowery live onl 
 in tradition ; but it still has characteristics all its own. There is presente 
 here an extraordinary collection of beer saloons, concert gardens, tram 
 lodging houses, shooting galleries, low whisky "dives," dime museum 
 penny amusement arcades, tattooing establishments, Yiddish theatres an 
 more beer saloons ; while sandwiched in between the saloons and the lodgin 
 houses are numerous shops, whose proprietors are hopefully striving t 
 live down the refrain of the popular song — 
 
 The Bow'ry! the Bow'ry! 
 They say such things, and they do strange things, 
 
 On the Bow'ry, the Bow'ry! 
 I'll never go there any more. 
 
 But this is only one aspect of the street. There are multitudes wit) 
 whom the Bowery means thrift, for in the Bowery Saving Bank, witt 
 its more than 125,000 depositors and over $67,000,000 of deposits, we hav 
 the largest savings bank in the world. 
 
 A ride through the Bowery on a Third avenue surface car (from 8t 
 street or above, or from the Post Office) will disclose its features suflj 
 ciently for most people. It may also be reached by the Third avent 
 elevated (stations at Chatham Square, Canal, Grand and Houston streets' 
 and by the Fourth and Second avenue cars passing through part of 1

 Three blocks below Grace Church, east of Broadway, is a group of 
 interesting points. In Clinton Place and Astor Place is the Mercantile Li- 
 brary, on the site of the old Astor Place Opera House, where the Astor 
 Place Riot occurred in 1848, when a mob, incensed by the treatment which 
 Forrest had received in England, mobbed the English actor Macready, who 
 was doing his best on that particular occasion to act Macbeth. East of the 
 Library is the statue of S. S. Cox, erected by the mail carriers in recognition 
 of his championship of their interests in Congress. In Lafayette Place, 
 opening to the south, is the Astor Library, with its 350,000 books, now a 
 part of the New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Founda- 
 tions. The library is open from 9 to 6 daily except Sundays and holidays. 
 
 Cooper Union, for the Advancement of Science and Art, was founded 
 by Peter Cooper in 1859. He gave for the building and its endowment 
 nearly a million dollars. The purpose is to provide instruction at night 
 for young people who work by day ; and in doing this the Union has 
 been one of the most beneficent philanthropies of the city. The night 
 schools in science and art — mathematics, engineering, electricity, chemistry, 
 etc. — have been attended by nearly 100.000 different persons. Recent gifts 
 by Andrew Carnegie, Edward Cooper and A. S. Hewitt have now made 
 
 | provision for day instruction also. There are a Women's Art School, for 
 
 , instruction in drawing, painting and photography, and schools in telegraphy, 
 stenography and typewriting for women. The free library and reading 
 
 , room (with 435 newspapers and periodicals) is visited by an average of 
 2.000 readers a day; it is open from 8 A. M. to 10 P. M. ; and Sundays, 
 October to May. 12 to 9. The Museum for the Decorative Arts is open 9 
 
 . to 5 daily except Sunday and Monday. Free lectures in the Hall, on 
 Wednesday and Saturday evenings in winter, are attended by 10.000 persons 
 a week. The Hall of Cooper Union is used for political and other meetings, 
 and has been the scene of many memorable gatherings. Abraham Lincoln 
 delivered his Cooper Institute speech here Feb. 27, i860, and from that 
 day to this most of the great orators of America have been heard here; and 
 speeches have been made which have affected city, state and nation. In 
 
 : Cooper Union Park, south of the building, is a statue of Peter Cooper, hy

 St. Mark's Church, at 10th street and 2d avenue, has interesting 
 historical associations, for it occupies the oldest church site on Manhattan 
 Island. It replaced in T799 the Bouwerie Church built by Peter Stuyvesant. 
 the last of the Dutch Governors, on. his Great Bouwerie. or farm, which 
 extended from the line of 4th avenue to the East River. A bit of the old 
 farm now bears the name of Stuyvesant Square. Stuyvesant was buried \v 
 the churchyard in 1672. in the vault which is still marked by the memo'-i;ii 
 stone with its inscription. 
 
 In this vault lies buried Petrus Stuyvesant, late Captain General and Governor- 
 in-Chief of Amsterdam in New Netherland, now called New York, and the Dutch 
 West India Islands, died in A. D. 167%, aged 80 years.

 NEW YORK. 
 
 "The Little Church Around the Corner" is a familiar name for the 
 Church of the Transfiguration, on East 29th street, near Fifth avenue. 
 The story goes that when in 1871 Joseph Jefferson endeavored to arrange 
 for the funeral of George Holland, a brother actor, at a church on 
 Madison avenue, the pastor said that he could not hold burial services] 
 over the body of an actor. "But," he added, "there is a little church 
 around the corner you can go to." "Then all honor to the little church 
 around the corner," replied Jefferson. "We will go there." From that 
 time the church and its rector, Rev. George H. Houghton (who died 
 in 1897) were held in affectionate regard by the theatrical profession. 
 Many actors have been buried from the church, among them Lester 
 Wallack, Dion Boucicault and Edwin Booth. There is a memorial window 
 given by The Players (the actors' club), in loving memory of Booth. 
 The beautiful churchyard is entered through a lich-gate. This is a roofed 
 gate, unique in this country, but of a type formerly common in Europe, 
 when the custom was to rest the bier in the lich-gate during the reading 
 of the introductory part of the burial service. 
 
 John Street Methodist Church. — The John Street M. E. Church, at 
 44 John street, called the "Cradle of American Methodism," is the oldest 
 Methodist church in America. It was founded by Philip Embury in 1766; 
 the first edifice was erected in 1768, a second one on the same site in 1817, 
 and the present structure in 1841. There are still preserved Philip 
 Embury's Bible, Bishop Asbury's chair and the clock which John Wesley 
 sent over from England, and which still ticks off the time. 
 
 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers. — The national or- 
 ganization of the mechanical engineering profession was founded in 1880 
 with the object of promoting the arts and sciences connected with en- 
 gineering and mechanical construction. Its society rooms occupy the 
 eleventh floor of the Engineering Societies Building, at 29 West Thirty- 
 ninth street, New York, it being one of the three Founder Societies to 
 whom the Carnegie gift for the erection of the building was made. 
 Monthly meetings are held in the building for the presentation and 
 discussion of professional papers. The annual and spring meetings are 
 the two large conventions of the year. The former is held in New York 
 in December and the latter at some inland city, usually in May. There 
 ar e 3,335 members. The publications of the society are Proceedings, 
 issued monthly, and the Transactions, the annual bound volume. The 
 library of more than ten thousand volumes on engineering, together with 
 the libraries of other Founder Societies, make one of the most com- 
 plete libraries of engineering literature in the world. Open to the public 
 from 9 A. M. to 9 P. M., except Sundays and holidays.

 Hispanic Society. 
 
 The library and museum of the Hispanic Society of America is in 
 Audubon Park, 156th street near Broadway. "The library, art collection 
 and historical objects were gathered by Archer M. Huntington, son of the 
 late Collis P. Huntington, who endowed the Hispanic Society and gave 
 lie land upon which the museum stands. The society's purpose is to 
 make the library and museum useful to students and literary men. The 
 [society was founded by Mr. Huntington for the purpose of bringing the 
 people of the United States who are interested in Spanish history, art 
 and literature into closer relations with the Spanish and Portuguese 
 people and those of the same blood in South America. Mr. Huntington 
 spent more than eighteen years making the collections, and they are the 
 largest of their kind in this country and among the most important in 
 the world. The institution is open to the public. 
 
 "Among the objects in the museum interesting to students of Hispanic 
 subjects is a pair of bronze Arabic doors, which flank the main entrance. 
 These doors, which came from a Cairo mosque, were built by a Mameluke 
 general in 1381. The museum contains examples of pottery dating from 
 the fifth century before Christ to the present time, and also includes 
 silver, medals, coins and textiles, besides some sixteenth century carvings 
 in wood, marble and ironwork. Spanish America is also historically and 
 artistically represented. There are more than fifty thousand volumes in 
 the library, on ancient and modern Spanish and Portuguese subjects. 
 
 "The Hispanic Society of America has a membership of one hundred. 
 It is an endowed society, its members paying no dues. Its membership 
 is scattered all over the world, where they are constantly on the lookout 
 for some available addition to the library or museum."

Brooklyn 
 
 The points here named are reached most conveniently from the Brook- 
 lyn Bridge. The officers at the Bridge entrance will direct to the proper 
 car. 
 
 Greenwood Cemetery is reached by the Fifth avenue elevated or surface 
 line from the Bridge. Carriages at the entrance make the tour of the 
 grounds in three-quarters of an hour for a fare of 25 cents, with stop-over 
 privilege. The cemetery, one of the most beautiful in the world, has an 
 area of 474 acres, stretching along a slope whose summit it has crowned 
 with monuments. From the Pilots' Monument to Thomas Freeborn, a 
 New York pilot who lost his life piloting a ship on the New Jersey coast, 
 we may look far out to sea; and the shaft is visible from ships entering 
 the harbor. From the Soldiers' Monument, in memory of the 148,000 
 soldiers of New York State who died in the Civil War, another far-reach- 
 ing prospect may be had. One may wander for hours through the streets 
 of this vast city of the dead (there are fifteen miles of walks) and at every 
 turn find something to challenge attention. The most famous memorial 
 is the exquisitely carved monument of Charlotte Canda, a New York girl 
 who, on her eighteenth birthday, as she was returning from a party given 
 in her honor, was thrown from her carriage and killed. This monument 
 that marks her grave she herself had designed for an aunt. The most costly 
 piece of work is the $225,000 monument of Marcus Daly. Among hundreds 
 of others may be noted the tomb of James Gordon Bennett, remarkable for 
 the silken sheen of the sculptured drapery; the portrait bust of Horace 
 Greeley, cast from type metal given by the printers of America ; the bronze 
 statue of De Witt Clinton ; the stone from the Brooklyn Bridge mark- 
 ing the grave of Wm. C. Kingsley, a former president of the Board of 
 Trustees; the medallion angel face carved by Hiram Powers, the Griffith 
 "Farewell" memorial, the figure of "Grief" of the John Matthews tomb, 
 the Channey monument cut by prisoners in Sing Sing. We shall find 
 here many familiar names — Morse of the telegraph, Howe of the sewing 
 machine, Peter Cooper, Henry Ward Beecher, Henry George, Alice and 
 Phoebe Cary. Those who sleep in Greenwood number more than 312.000, 
 and the solemn bell in the tower of the Gothic gate tolls through the 
 hours of the day at the entering in of others to join the silent hosts. 
 
 Prospect Park. — From the Bridge the Flatbush avenue cars take one 
 directly to the Plaza, which is the principal gate. Here is the Soldiers' 
 and Sailors' Memorial Arch, to commemorate those who died in the Civil 
 War; the bronze groups by Macmonnies symbolize the Army, the Navy, 
 and the chariot of Victory led by heralds of peace. South of the Plaza is 
 the statue of Gen. Warren. From the top of the Brooklyn water reservoir 
 a view may be had extending from the Long Island coast in the east beyond 
 Manhattan to the New Jersey hills in the west; the tower is a noted land- 
 mark. From the Plaza entrance carriages make the tour of the Park for a 
 fare of 25 cents. In natural grandeur Prospect rivals Central Park: it is 
 well named, for its hills command many a lovely prospect; particularly 
 famous are those from Lookout Hill. The Park has extensive groves of forest 
 trees, a lake of sixty-one acres, with winding arms, arched bridges and 
 
 136 
 
BROOKLYN.

 irharming shores, and there are flower gardens and conservatories. A 
 nonument on the slope of Prospect Hill marks Battle Pass, where fell 450 
 Maryland soldiers, defending the American retreat after the battle of Long 
 Island. The Park has memorials of John Howard Payne, author of 
 'Home, Sweet Home"; Irving, Lincoln, Moore, Mozart, and James S. T. 
 5tranahan, an honored citizen to whom, more than to any other person. 
 Brooklyn owes its beautiful pleasure ground. 
 
 From the southeast corner of Prospect Park the Ocean Parkway, a 
 nagnificent boulevard, with driveway, speedway and shaded cycle paths 
 ind bridle paths, extends $ l / 2 miles to Coney Island. A short distance 
 lortheast from the Plaza entrance is the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute, 
 in which are collections illustrating natural history and ethnology. An 
 admission of 25 cents is charged Monday and Tuesday; other days free. 
 
 The Brooklyn Navy Yard is visited by pass, which is given on applica- 
 tion at the entrance. The Navy Yard is reached by Flushing avenue car 
 from the Bridge. The shipbuilding shops, dry docks, warships, guns, naval 
 trophies, curiosities in the Lyceum, and the varied activities of the chief 
 naval station of the United States, furnish abundant interest. The Navy 
 Yard is on Wallabout Bay, where thousands of Americans perished in the 
 British prison-ships of the Revolution. In Fort Greene Park, near by, the 
 tomb of a number of the prison-ship martyrs is marked with a sculptured 
 memorial by Macmonnies. a marble censer, emblematic of a perpetual 
 incense offering. 
 
 The Pratt Institute, the school of science and industrial art founded 
 by Charles Pratt (who gave for it nearly $4,000,000) is in Ryerson street, 
 near De Kalb avenue. Visiting days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 
 
 Partridge's equestrian statue of Grant stands in front of the Union 
 League Club, Bedford avenue and Bergen street. It represents the General 
 as he appeared at the Battle of the Wilderness. Ward's statue of Henry 
 Ward Beecher stands in the plaza facing the City Hall on Fulton Street. 
 Plymouth Church, which was Beecher's pulpit from 1847 to 1887, is on 
 Orange street, between Hicks and Henry, within short walking distance 
 from the Bridge. 
 
 Staten Island, lying south of New York Bay, five miles distant from 
 Manhattan Island, constitutes the Borough of Richmond in Greater New 
 York. The island has an area of sixty square miles. Its green slopes and 
 wooded hills form a pleasing feature in the harbor views; and the fortified 
 height of Fort Wadsworth. commanding the Narrows, is the first land 
 closely approached by incoming vessels irom sea. An excursion to Staten 
 Island by ferryboat from the Battery gives a good opportunity of seeing 
 New York Bay. A conspicuous landmark on the island is the dome of the 
 church of Sailors'Snug Harbor. The Harbor was founded in 1801 as a home 
 for unfortunate and disabled seamen by Robert Richard Randall, whc 
 bequeathed for the purpose his farm in New York. (See page 81.) There 
 are on the rolls to-day 900 inmates. Among the sixty buildings of the 
 Harbor, the church is specially worthy of inspection for the fine marbles of 
 the interior. There is in the grounds a statue of Randall by St. Gaudens. 
 
 The tall chimney seen to the northwest of Staten Island is in Bayonne. 
 N. J., and carries off the fumes of the great copper smelting works there 
 It is 365 feet high, and is reputed to be the tallest chimney in the world.

Cbe Pennsylvania Railroad terminal. 
 
 The Pennsylvania Railroad plan contemplates a series of through tunnel.- 
 from Jersey City under the North River, Manhattan and the East Rivet 
 to Brooklyn. This will connect the Pennsylvania and the Long Island 
 railroads. There will be a great central station in Manhattan. Becau-" 
 of the novelty of the engineering devices employed, the magnitude of thi 
 work, and the revolutionizing effect upon passenger traffic to and from the 
 Metropolis, this Pennsylvania connection is an undertaking second in im- 
 portance only to the Rapid Transit Railroad. "It will practically make 
 Manhattan continental instead of insular." The tunnel-tube invention by 
 which the difficulties of tunneling the Hudson have been overcome has 
 excited the interest of the engineering world. The bed of the Hudsors 
 consists of soft mud and clay, of an oozy consistency to a great depth, and 
 unsuited to tunnel work. An entirely new principle therefore has been 
 adopted. Stone piers will be built resting upon the solid rock beneath the 
 river bed. The piers will support a bridge, which will be inclosed in an 
 18-foot water-tight steel tube; and will carry the railroad track within tht 
 tube. The bed of the tracks in mid-stream will be 100 feet below the river 
 bed. There will be six of the tubes ; they will enter Manhattan in pairs, at 
 31st, 32d and 33d streets, and the tunnel extensions to the East River will 
 cross the city under the lines of these streets. In passing under Man- 
 hattan the tunnel will be nowhere less than 19 feet below the surface. Tht 
 East River tunnels will present no difficulties, for the river bottom is of 
 solid rock. On the Jersey side the tunnel tracks will diverge from the 
 present line of the Pennsylvania at a point on the Hackensack meadows 
 east of Newark. Electric locomotives will be used. 
 
 The terminal station will be gigantic in dimensions ; and the officials 
 promise that it will be an architectural achievement. It will occupy a 
 plot 1,500 feet in length by 520 in width; covering the four blocks bounded 
 by 31st and 33d streets, and Seventh and Ninth avenues — a site acquired 
 for the purpose at a cost of $8,000,000. It will have twenty-five tracks and 
 more than two miles of platforms. The station will be modeled upon the 
 Quai d'Orsay station in Paris, which is a part of the railroad system 
 which tunnels the Seine, but the New York station will be double the size 
 of the Paris one. A bridge will extend over the tracks from 31st to 33d 
 streets, with stairways leading down to the tracks. The baggage will be 
 handled by endless belts, and the equipment throughout will be of the very 
 latest appliances. The work of construction will take three years ; the cost, 
 including terminals, will be under $50,0000,000. The payments to the City 
 of New York, as provided by the franchise, will aggregate nearly $2,500,000 
 for the first twenty-five years, exclusive of the 31st Street route; with that 
 route, if built, $50,000 additional. The amounts to be paid will be adjusted 
 every twenty-five years. 
 
 These through tunnels of the Pennsylvania with the Long Island Rail 
 road connection may bring to an early realization the project of a great 
 trans-Atlantic steamship terminal at Montauk Point; and on the other 
 hand the Pennsylvania's adoption of the tunnel plan for access to New 
 York will defer indefinitely the building of the long talked of Hudson 
 River Bridge.

Situated upon the main line of the Lackawanna, within two and one-half hours' ride of New York, 
 is the Delaware Water Gap — one of the scenic marvels of this country. This famous notch through 
 which the River flows fairly abounds with possibilities for sport, comfort and recreation. 
 
 A short distance beyond lies the Pocono Mountains with their altitude of 2,000 feet above the 
 sea. Here is the healthful air of the forest and mountain combined with every form of sport. The 
 nights register from ten to fifteen degrees cooler than New York. 
 
 The accessibility of these resorts furnishes a happy solution of the vacation problem to the busy 
 New Yorker. During the hot summer months, week end specials leave the City for these points at 
 the close of business hours. The whole region is dotted over with modest hotels and charming 
 farm houses ready to welcome the city guest. Drop into any ticket office of the

Just the ideal distance

 on— without the noise 
 
 In this modem Babylon there are more hotels 
 and more different kinds of hotels than in any 
 city on earth. 
 
 In the great throbbing "down-town" district it 
 is largely a question of price. 
 
 There are a great many people who want the 
 gaiety and life attendent upon such surroundings. 
 
 There are a great many other visitors to New 
 York who have often wished for a place where 
 they could go for a day, a week or a month and 
 find modern equipment, a perfect service, and at 
 the same time, enjoy quiet and rest, and have, in 
 addition to congenial surroundings, the comforts 
 of "home." 
 
 We offer (in the most exclusive residential 
 districts), for transient patronage by the day, 
 week or month, one room, two rooms, suites of 
 any size, with maid service, private bath, etc., 
 etc., in short, modern hotel service and equipment 
 at prices that seem "almost too good to be true." 
 
 We have at your command a thorough organiza- 
 tion, in the hands of a trained and capable 
 management. 
 
 It's our pleasure to serve you.

THE PRINCESS ISSENA, Seabreeze, Fla. 
 
 A FINE new stone and 
 frame structure situ- 
 ated in the midst of 
 five acres of natural park, 
 three hundred and seventy 
 five feet fronting on Ocean 
 Boulevard, and five min- 
 utes' walk to the Atlantic 
 Beach on the east or to the 
 Halifax River on the west. 
 
 Having had some years' 
 experience with the travel- 
 ing public, the managers 
 perceived that a house con- 
 ducted as nearly as pos- 
 sible like an elegant private 
 home would be welcome to 
 a large percentage of Florida 
 tourists ; and they are en- 
 deavoring to establish the 
 Princess Issena on this rather new basis. While there are all the appointments of the thoroughly 
 modern and first-class hotel, still home features are preserved, not only pertaining to the table, but 
 in a pleasing departure from usual hotel interior arrangement of living rooms, chambers, halls, etc. 
 
 The bedrooms are large, airy and well lighted, having from two to four windows each; many sunny 
 exposures; en suite or single; stationary wash stands, with hot and cold water in every room ; general and 
 private baths ; steam heat; electric lights ; call bells; telephone in office; no really small or undesirable 
 rooms; good beds ; all furnishings fresh, clean and sanitary. 
 
 A principal feature is to make the table as much as possible like a home table, though the dining room 
 service is of the usual first-class hotel kind, and the kitchen is under the management of a competent chef ; 
 home-made breads, cake and pastry ; home-prepared jellies, preserves, marmalades, etc.; pure milk from oui 
 own cows ; pure, healthful water from artesian well. 
 
 For board and rooms, $3.00 per day and up. Special rates by the month or season. Address

 sale at very reasonable prices. Marion County has good 
 roads, good schools, diversified industries, progressive people.
