MAGNIFICENT LAKE REPRESENTATION !

GORGEOUS FIR KS !
HE yearly increasing cess that has characte-
rised the efforts of t roprietor of this popular Esta-
blishment, commands m him a sense of gratitude beyond
expression, and pr pts him to redo'thle his exertions to de-
servedly maintal , or if possible advance, the estimation in
which he feels eis held as a caterer for the Public. He has
the pleasure of announcing that the GALA SEASON will
commence
TO-MORROW, (Wednesday,) the 15th INSTANT.
The subject selected for representation, is the

CITY AND BAY OF NEW YORK !
A View which, from its peculiar adaptation and extraordinary
compass, affords the greatest capabilities for the display of
taste and talent, for the introduction of Pyrotechnic Works,
and will be alike suited to
DAY OR NIGHT EXHIBITION.
To those who are acquainted with the
MAGNIFICENT CITY
and
STILL MORE MAGNIFICENT BAY OF NEW YORK,
the importraiture will be readily admitted, and each peculiar
feature momentarily recognised; while to the stranger (so
happily have the artists secured a position to take in every
object of importance) it will offer a subject of intense interest.
The View is taken from the
EAST SIDE OF THE PARK,
so that the ARTIFICIAL LAKE, which is now encompassed by
a parapet wall, beautifully fills the place of the
GRAND RESERVOIR,
supplied from the monster works of Croton, in the centre of
which is erected the
COLOSSAL STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
In close proximity is
THE CITY HALL,
with its beautiful marble front. On the other side is the

PARK THEATRE.
THE WHOLE OF BROADWAY,
from the
ASTOR HOUSE TO THE BATTERY,
and
ALL THE INTERVENING STREETS FROM THE
NORTH TO THE EAST RIVER,
are distinctly pourtrayed.
THE MIGHTY HUDSON,
which surrounds
THE ISLAND OF MANHATTAN
-• •• •

spreading its circumambient waters into the beantiful Bay, is
so effectively delineated, that any attempt at description must
prove abortive. 'With Burns it may be said,
" The outstretching lake, embosomed in tha hills,
The eye with wonder and amazement
JERSEY CI FY,
THE ELYSISIN FIELDS OF HOBOKEN

mingling in the distance with Staten Island, skirts the horizon
on one side. The other is completed by
BROOKLYN and LONG ISLAND,
_ _

which, to the passing clouds of Nature, presen't a beautiful
contrast. So simple but magnificent is the scene, so chaste
and delicate is the tone of colouring in the rich and broken
lines of verdure, that, like Nature's self, it defies descriptive
art.
The forests of masts that line the Wharfs, and the busy Ship-
ping skimming across the lake-like waters, are all formidably
effective.
