To one. unaccustomed to the Gus
toms of the, East, he here finds many
strange and interesting things. Eve
rything in the city is on scale quite
in keeping with ones notions of what
New York should be. The city for
the most part is blessed with wide
streets and everywhere you meet
with beautiful parks and groves for
accommodation of the people. Many
I such parks as Union and University
Place and Park Avenue, are unknown
[ to the most of us who have never seen
the city, while we all have heard OF
/ the grandeur and magnihcence OF
Central Park. These parks are the
beauty Of the city. In these one
can sit and see all kinds Of people,
from the Wall street banker to the
mostrpiserable beggar. The rich, the
poor, the high, the low, the costly car
riage and more costly apparel Of It's
possessor, the middle class who are the
sinaw Of the city and the low beggars
are thorwn side by side in seeking the
| pleasant air, the views of the richly
cultivated grounds and the recreation
that the city inhabitaut stands in so
much need of. Central Park especial
/ ly is the wonder of New York. Its
grand museum and menagerie is Its
first attraction for in them you can see
animals from every quarter Of the
globe, from the rising to the setting
sun, the yak, the elephant and the
rhinoceros. from the Indus and the
Nile, the sea lion and white bear from
the north and the boa and Bengal
tiger from South America and Asia.
Birds of every variety, form and song,
too, are seen, from the proud Anieri-
can eagle to the tiny Canary and the
French sparrow. Its fountains are
the wonder of all beholders and pref
ty lakes hid under little mountains
are the resorts for many romantic
fancies. One can stroll along for a
whole day admiring the pleasant
greens and beautiful boulevards and
race cCurses where lovers Of fine horses
are wont to congregate and try the
metal Of their chargers and the speed
of their racers. The mail is a place
especially to be- admired for it is there
that you see children spending happy
hours in beautiful little carriages
drawn by goats and driven by liveried
coachmen. 1t would be next to i'm
possible to write up all that is wonder
full, beautiful and entertaining in Cen
tral Park, for all around you you see
so many things to attract and amuSe,
that it would take large book to con-
tain it. Here is a grand lot Of statu-
airy dedicated to the memory of poets,
warriors and statesmen. There are
schools of public instruction for every
person in The museum, and yonderare
places dedicated to ones ease and COM
fort. All of these things are spread
ont over miles Of ground and 50 situa-
rs to be ever new to the beholdcr.
| must close with an indefinite idea
Of Fifth Avenne and Broadway. l
say indefinite, for no one can know
them except by sight. On the one,
are piled up the marble palaces Of the
rich, and on the other, there seems
a constant struggle F&r the mass
Of mankind to see into how small a
space they can crowd themselves.
The greatest attractions ON Fifth Az
enue are Stewards Marble Palaces, the
Cathedral and the Winsdor Hotel.
The first is the finest structure in the
city and perhaps in the United States,
the second is going to be finest church
building in America, when completed.
They have already worked ten years
at it, and it viii take five more TO
complete it. The third is The Wins
dor Hotel and is, where all the fash
ionable society of the city congregate.
You pay eight dollars a. day board,
add dollar for each time You ring
the bell for a servant. The Irish team
when in AmGric& put up there, staid
4 few weeks and naid ten thousand
dcllars, so said, for the privilege. 1t
is a splendid house and everything
strictly frst-class in all Of its apart
ments, however. / leave for home in
a few days, and l hope to, tell you
something in my next ard last of the
Hudson and Niagara.
