boys and women push themselves
through the door Of the ticket office
man stands there with a punch. He
doesn't punch the people, but he
punches the tickets. As soon as the
passengers emerge from the corral
with their punched tickets they cavort
around and stampede for the ferry
boat.
Ny eye is still painful. What makes
Il more so is the fact that cannot see
my pocketbook- We are in the middle
Of East river. Sykes calls my atten-
ton to the beautiful view Of Black
wells island, where the prison is. Man
on the boat looks at me and whispers
to friend. They both laugh. Sykes
tells nae TO keep the handkerchief from
my eve, or people will think l am sig
mailing to my friends on Blackwelrs
island.
We arrive at Long Island City. The
crowd rushes off the ferryboat. as If
each individual were afraid of being
taken back to New York. Nobody
walks. Everybody trots. The whole
other corral As we pass out the gate
another man with punch brands our
tickets with a road brand, and we
climb into the cars that are impatient
lywaiting for US
The cars are open cars, with horizon
tai seats like street cars. There is also
parlor car attached to the train for
the aristocracy who want to pay
quarter extra. Perhaps the man who
got my spocketbook will ride in that
parlor ear. A big fat old woman, and
a Young, thin woman, evidently mother
and daughter, enter the car, or at least
the daughter does. The daughter
climbs in first. Mother tries TO follow,
but the door is to narrow. Fat woman
stuck fast. She puffs and blows and
says, 80, dear mel" Daughter tugs at
her arm, and says:
Nav, please make an effort"
Nav" makes great effort, but II is
no 90. People in the car laugh heart
lesslv. Hatchet-faced conductor pushes
fat woman from the outside. Thin
daughter pulls from the inside, but the
fat woman maintains her position with
the pertinacity of mugwump in Of
fee. The conductor tells Eat woman
that she must either get in the car or
out of il, and he goes away. He shouts
''all aboard" Fat woman makes an
other pubfc-spirited effort Train be
gins to move, some of fat woman being
still outside of the car. Tremendous
Effort by fat woman. She is inside but
speechless. When she comes 70 the first
thing she says is something about how
she would have got into the parlor car

Her mother replies:

I noticed that the conductor and
brakeman wear a sneering expression
Do their faces. Their nostrils are 6ilated
as if with scorn.
They are not sneering,@ said Sykes;
"they are turning up their noses"

''How did they come to acquire that

soon"
He hasn't more than said this when
everybody in the car begins to turn up
his nose and sneer. We are passing a
horrible smell. Some OF the passengers
hold smelling bottles to their noses.
Others swear.

points to number of immense tanks.

Rbounds in glue factories and other in-
stitutions in which all the old horses
and other animals that die in New Y Yorl
are used for various purposes.
Sykes admits that the smell is not
like that of bank of violets, but that
there is silver lining to the cloud, as
there are no mosquitoes. He says that
In New Jersey mosquitoes board trains
while in motion and attack the pas
sengers.
The peculiar smells of Hunters
point no longer succeed in overtaking
us. We are gliding through the coun-
try. We see farms to the right and
left. The happy peasantry are culling
cabbages and other table fruit. The
principal products raised seem to be
corn, tomatoes, cabbages, and patent
medicine advertisements on the
fences. Most of the vegetables eaten
in New York are raised on Long Island.
We also notice several of the densely-
populated graveyards. The suburbs
of New York do large business in
ossuaries, which add an inexpressible
charm to the landscape. Marble yards,
with ready-made tombs to please the
most fastidious, are also quite numer-
Gus.
As the train approaches Manhattan
beech the country becomes more level.
At last the train stops, but delay is
experienced by some of the passengers
in getting off on account of the fat
woman having wedged herself into the
door again
There are numerous hotels and
pavilions on Manhattan beach. The
style of architecture is very ornament

There are several ways to get there,
