out so heavy surf. The same 25 cents sees
you back by the same or by the au-boat
route.
For 81 you can 90 to Long Branch and re-
turn by sea or land, visiting the SWEETEST
watering place of the Jersey coast. That 81
gives you five or six hours sea voyage and
an appetite at the close that Graves roast
beef and potatoes. If you are going or COM
ing on this sea route by night be sure you
take your spring overcOat. The hotter the
summer day, the more you will need that
overcoat before you get back. Thousands
60 and come on the same steamer without
getting off at Long Branch at all. For
there is plenty to eat and "lashin's O. beer
and other drinks to be had on board the
boat. If you do want to get of, however,
there are Asbury Park, Ocean Grove and
half dozen other places within the reach
of 25 cents more.
For 20 cents you can join the wedding
couples in the middle of the bay on Bedloe's
Island. There is the Bartholdi statue Of
Liberty to be seen and two restaurants give
food and liquid refreshments in modest
way.
You Can Even Go Fishing.
For so cents you can go to the fishing
banks with rod and line and try deep sea
fishing from the decks of steamer in half a
dozen different places outside from early
morn till dewy eve. And you need not
bother about bait or grub either, for they
have them on board by the gallon, keg and
carload. And if you should be man and
of that particular turn of mind you will
come back not caring whether the fish bit
well that day or not. You would have SO
much fun.
For 81 ,yo,, oo,, 4ol-o , liz Jo- boot an fb q
Hudson and long view of the American
Rhine. You will see the homes of the
millionaires along its wooded banks, be
shown the historic towns and villages, the
school of the American army officer, the
Kaatskills, the Poughkeepsie bridge and
any number of seductive looking watering
place hotels. The trip will be more enjoy-
able because you will find good restaurants
on the boat and bands of music-refresh-
ments for the physical and mental man. IT
you are in hurry you can come back by rail.
But you will never regret the day boat on
the Hudson. For 81 by day, ors2, which in
cludes stateroom at night, you can take one
of the floating palaces and "do" the Sound.
1t also embraces the entire scenic effects de-
scribed in the first part of this article.
Always a Safe Investment
have never yet heard anybody say that
a voyage up the Sound in midsummer, when
the city air is close and business is not
pressing, was a mistake or that the money
was not we'll invested. If it is a clear day
the Long Island shore under good glass
presents pleasing landscape as long as the
voyage.
These are but few and the outside sum-
met attractions of New York pleasure and
health seekers. What other city on the
globe offers such variety of sea and river
and romantic and fashionable shove? But
there are scores and scores of parks and
gardens within or close to the city limits ac-
cessible for five cents going and five cents
coming. You can join from five thousand
to eight thousand people under the immense
electric lighted cylindrical dome of Madison
Square Garden and listen to the grand or.
chestra of Theodore Thomas for fifty cents
and drink beer at five cents glass while
you enjoy your cigar and conversation. You
can go out to One Hundred and Fifty-ffth
street at q Harlem garden and spend hours
among the German families. There is an
endless choice of these kinds of amusement,
and all are cheap and few unwholesome.
Therefore, all in all, if man or woman in
New York is short of something to do and
some place to go, he or she must be very
stupid or very narrow of thought.
