Between the North Bay and the Lake
the City OF Buffalo has built at large
expense a new and beautiful bridge of
heavy masonry, known as the Bridge
of the Three Americas This bridge
carries the broad thoroughfare which
leads from the main southern entrance
to the approaches of the Exposition as

Lake is situated the life saving station

THE COMMUTER.
How He spends uis Hour. of Daily
railroad Travelling,

The much abused suburbanites,
whom the cartoonlsts picture as COM
ing to the city every morning from
"Lonesomehurst," Lost Mans Lane"
'Prunehurst-by- e-Trolley" and other
places with equally suggestive names,
are an interesting class of indIvid-
uals. The transient element OF the
city's population spends several hours
every day whirling over the railroads.
When the novelty OF these daily bits
of rallroading has passed into the
monotony of years of travel through
the same country the commuter has
learned TO make the best of the time
he spends on the train.
The card flend" Is prominent fig
ure In this class. Both morning and
evening four or five games Of cards
are going on in every smoking car, and
II Is safe to say that thousands OF dol
lars change hands In this innocent
amusement" while the players are hur-
rying to or from business.
Next to the card sharp" ia the man
who only enjoys his cigar and paper.
He Is oblivious to all his surround,
lngS ana only shows animation when
he Is at his journeys end.
Many of the policies and plans of
some OF this city's most successful
business men have been born or de-
veloped on these trains. The short
respite between the hustle of the city
and the cares OF home life Is to this
type of man u season for meditation.
Another interesting commuter Is the
Individual who is on good terms with
all his fellows. He travels UP and
down through the car exercising his
repertory of latest jokes or sympa.
thizing with some gloomy looking
friend who thinks that all the world
Is against him. He seems to never
grow weary In his we'll doing.
The train life of the commuter is now
and then enlIvened by wrecks. Though
tossed about and sometimes cut and
bruised, he generally escapes serious
injury. Such experiences as these he
considers the spice and coloring of his
existence.--New York Mail and Ex.
