A CRowpEp CurY-The NewYork Herald says: We
never saw NewYork in its hotels and public houses so
crowded as during these days The length and severity
of yhe winter have thrown all the usual casual visitors
of that season into the spring. and filed our hotels from
cellar to garnet. The principal hotels, generally, turn
away from fifty to hundred and fifty almost every night
These travellers have frequently to drive round town for
couple of hours visiting half dozen hotels in their
percgrinatons before they find shelter lot the night
These crowds of visitors fill concert rooms theatres
and all public places night after night
