II our coutry cousin wants to take in a
bird's-eye view and a just conception of the
big metropolis, he can easily do both in an
EASY days tour. The stree car Is the best
point of vantage. You enjoy the luxury
of a drive i'll your pair-horse carriage
without the risks and worries Of so danger
GUS a journey as we are now going TO
take. It's hundred to one against any
private carriage getting through without
what are called accidents, but which in
reality are traps set by the mismanagers of
the city street paving work. We shall
travel along miles of streets full of pitfalls
for any dainty vehicle that cannot run on
the car rails. And those that enjoy tenn
porary smooth passage on them are pretty
sure TO screw a wheel or two off in trying
to make way for the cars You see, on an
average, two wheel-smashed vehicles in
each hour of car travel in New York. All
good for trade, anyway.
Now, suppose we start from the Central
station in Fortysecond street, aud take the
short car ride TO the Weehawken ferry at
its we Il end. Here we board the West Side

Miles Of houses towering toward the thun-
dec-laden clouds Every house a barracks
and every room nursery for
the propagation of the Gothamite
species. Here are breweries, factories,
foundries, lumber yards. and industries H.

fronts, now you can't see the windows and
doors for the folks that poke through them,
craning their necks till you dread lest their
whole bodies will come out, too. You
can't see the sidewalks for bulky
matrons and squalling babes, nor much of
the roadway for the myriad imps that mob
the cars, all reckless of life and limb, in
their enthusiasm to race alongside the tear
ing engine as 1t strews its trail of fire
among the crowd. This is the hight of bliss

If you want to know his sport on wet
evenings, take the same line after dark and
count how many dabs of mud you get in
your eve in a short mile.
When we have duly admired the array
of big ocean greyhounds, such as the ma
jestic City OF New York and City of Paris,

ballet teauties at the Casino, we are whirled
past the scarcely less majestic white boats
that sail the sound. This is the Puritan,
and that the Pilgrim, each carry
ing passengers numbering up in
the thousands. A charming panorama is
tGis of the great North River, with its
Kaleidoscope display of every sort of craft
that sails on river or sea. Now we are at
the Battery. with its matchless water pict-
ure and exquisite bit of park scenery.
The wonder is that the Knick-
erbockers of old-who generally
stuck to good things when they had
them-ever gave up this noble corner of
Manhattan to the base purposes of trade.
The spirit of democratic progress was too
strong for them, and never again will an
exclusive aristocracy be able to occupy the
busy thoroughfares around the Battery
park with their mansions aud promenades.
The most beautiful and the most breezy bit
of New York for evermore belongs to the
people, perhaps chiefly TO the foreign pau
per immigrant, you may think as you ram
bic around.
Here we board our East Side belt car and
Scud gaily alongside the endless lines of
river and cOastwIse boats that here unload
thor cargoes. High over the tallest masts
hangs the spider web known as the Brook
lyn bridge, thing of beauty from below
and marvellous substantially when you
tread its aisles. A little further we come
| to the dry docks, where several huge vessels
are stilted up on high; we "an see the bot
tom of their keels and watch the
workers rlvetting the copper plates on
them. We thread our way through a
strange old-time town that lies between OLD
Madison. street and the river, a town that
nobody ever penetrates except the long
shoremen and others who get their living
here. Quaint old brick cottages, few pre-
tentious mansions, all now fallen from their
once high estate to the level of tenements
and lodging houses.
The East Side avenues A, B, C and D
have character all their own. Anything
but English. Perhaps German names most
a ound, yet the general effect is that of
some European port where sailors do their
marketing. Babies everywhere, always.
Unless this blessed Manhattan isle can
expand its close-corseted sides within the
next quarter century, Manhattan isle
must burst. The people overflow
already. We are now at the imagi-
