ITS ARRIVAL.
The long looked for monster arrived
by way of the Broad-sauge Railroad from
Jersey City this morning, in charge OF
the United, States Express 20. Other
express companies had been applied to
for it's transmission, but none of them
thought it possible tnat it could be
transported alive, and so refused. The
United States, however, with its aocus-
toned enterprise, undertook to see that
it should get her mere safe and souLd,
and their etfJrts were crowned with sue
cess.
At an early hour this morning Mr.. ].
j. Henderson, agent OF the States at th 8
point, dispatched four-lorse wagon to
the u, H. e. D. Il. r.. depot, and with the
all OF a small army Of men The whale
was placed upon the wagon, and taken
TO The Lookout House.
HER MAJESTY.
The immense box containing the
fish" arrived at the Lookout House at
about G:30 this morning. Frank, Hart,
VINO is always alive to the securing of
attractions at hrs place, had by the re-
quest of A. A. Stewart erected au I'm
mense tank directly in the rear OF his
pavilion. tWorkmen were engaged for
Two days and two nights in its con-
sliuction, and by an early hour this
morning ~ was i'll readiness to receive
The whale.
THE TANK.
The future home OF her whaIeship
holds forty live thousand gallons of
water, and was filed last night by the
pumping Of two engines from cistern
ON Mt. Auburn. The tank cost several
hundred dollars aud is thirty-tWo feet
III diameter and about eight feet deep.
GETTING II INTO THE TANK.
The work Of getting the whale from the
box in which it came to the city into the
tank was somew troublesome.
A large crowd of sight-seekers had
congregated there to witness its "em-
barkatlon." Among the number were
noticed, Of course, the proprietor OF the
SHOW" MI. A. A. Stewart, who had not
slept a wink all night from thinking OF

Auburn Street Railroad; John j. Hen

crowd was unbounded. Tue lid being
