10, the Hippodrome. the royal tomls,
the Seven T0wess, the Walls, the b.
saass, and the many Interesting ''tases
Of Turkish life. To 80 thitber W leave
our hotel and descend into the Grand
Rue do Psr., which has . variable
width; In many pleoes not moro than
twelve feet, In other laoes 20 feet, but
which has some fine shops. Most q the

To ct down to 0alsts we avoid tire
some descent through . dirty street,
which W should call IN alley, and g.

On The Bosphorus. Crossing this slrsst
10 rsach, In . few steps, the lower q
thr two bridges that cross the Golden
Horn and connect 0alats with 9tam-
boul. This bridge y unusually wide
and always crowded with people, sx-
hibiting one Of the busiest and certainly
Tie most unique and picturesque scene
70 b fouDd IN the world. In the space
Il ten minutes ha',dreds Of people pen
you. The turbaned Turk, the gloesy-
checked eunuoh, the Arab, tbe Greek,
the Jew, the Armenian, and Frank.
The Dervish monk and Greek priest,

domino, gypsies, lower girb and beg-
