BY all odds the most successful show in town,
Judging from tho crowds that have gone to see
IL since It was opened. is tho FREQ show at tho
| Aquarium, and 1t is q curious commentary on
the Decentralization of New Workers., as far as
their own free shows are concerned, that the
majority Of the visitors to the Aquarium thus
far have been obviously strangers In New York.
Tho average citizen in this town. unless he hap
pens to have some special interest in such an
exhibition, feels that sooner or later some coun-
try cousin will come to town to see the sights,
and then he will take tho opportunity to SOC
them himself.
"some friends of mine from the western part
OF tho State came to town last week. said such
aman yesterday, and they wanted to soc the
Aquarium. I never had seen 1t. and I went down
to the Battery with them expecting to be bored.
Say, that is the most interesting exhibition In
New York, and now the whales have been added
I'm going down again at the first opportunity.
