said Archibald Fitzmauricc, an English
gentleman of leisure. II always linger
here when In America, and never tire
of walking or driving about the beauti-
full avenues and boulevards.
New York is remarkable for its
brown-stone fronts. Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington are red
brick cities, red brick being the pre-
dominating building material. In
Washington the sameness is relieved by
the granite public building and mar
BILE business structures.

mining and railroad kings on Mob
hill, including the Stanford, Mark Hop
kins, Charles Crocker, Cotton and 9TH

Cotton house is one OF the finest private
residences in America.
''rhe Crocker mansion occupies an
entire square, except 25 by 100 lot
facing the street running parallel to
California street. upon which all of
these houses face. This lot Is sur
rounded by a board fence 30 or more
feet in height, just inside the line of
the Croker property. It's owner re-

TO MEET STEAMSHIPS.
A New Service by the New York Cen.
trnl Railroad.


George H. Daniels. general. passenger
agent OF the New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad, has added a steam
ship bureau to the equipment OF the passen.
ger service of the road. He has engaged
Captains Louis lngwersen and +. A. G..
Schultze to superintend the bureau, and one
OF their duties will be to meet all incoming
transatlantic and the principal coastwise
steamships to assist passengers who wish
to leave the city via the Vanderbilt system.
Capt. Ingwersen will have charge Of the
American, Cunard, White Star, Atlantic
Transport, Wilson, Anchor and Allan State
lines, and Capt. Schultze has been assigned
to the North-German Lloyd, Hamburg
American, French, Rotterdam, Red Star
and Thingvalla lines.
They wiz meet all incoming steamships,
and will be prepared to furnish railway
tickets, parlor and sleeping car aceommo-
dations and to assist passengers with their
baggage and check it to points on the line
OF the railroad, after it has been passed
by the customs inspectors. They will also
furnish passengers with cabs operated by the
railroad company, and furnish time tables
and general information to passengers. The
two men have also been directed to assist
passengers who come to this city with a
view Of going abroad and such passengers
viii be met at the Grand Central Station
on incoming trains and conducted to the
steamship. Their baggage will be attended
to, and steamship tickets can be procured
in advance by communicating with Mr..
