There were between 6.000 and : .0OG au- tomobiles in sight and of every man. ner of construction one might conceive, ringing all the way from a fairy like machine to a, traction engine. Worlds records were broken, one that he remembers being the exploit Of Joe Tracey, chaffeur for W. Gerald Bro kaw, who made nearly sixty-five miles an hour in Q ten-mile handicap.
 Frank Parker of this city" says MT. Walker, claims to be the only western man who went east and failed to visit the worlds fair. I take issue with him as I saw so much in New York, Brook lyn and Coney Island that I did not go to the fair fearing it would be more than I could assimilate." Coney. he says, is the greatest amusement re- sort in the world and is a worlds fair of itself. It is estimated that on some days a half million people visit the is- land resorts. Either Dreamland or Luna park, probably contains more wonders than the Pike. Among the other exhibits he saw there was his old friend, Mrs. Tom Thumb, who seems to be getting very feeble. MT. Walker says the things he particularly enjoyed in the city were the museum of nat ural history on Columbus avenue and 18th street and the Metropolitan mu- scum of art on the Fifth avenue side of Central park. His rooms were only three blocks from the park and he spent much of his time there reading the papers and posting himself on the political situation. He don't care to make any predictions but thinks the nomination of HeTrick for governor will strengthen Parker's chances in New York state.
 A very interesting incident occurred at his boarding place. The lady of the house had been urging MT. Walker to attend her church which is of the Iu- theran denomination. He finally told her one day that one of the best friends he ever had was a Rev. c. Armand Mil Ter. of that faith, and that they were very intimately related in their old home in Virginia. The lady at once told him that the same man was then her pastor. Mir. Walker went to church. Not only that, but his old friend hug ged him in front of the whole congre- gation after service was over and they had many pleasant hours together thereafter. The church Rev Miller pre- sides over is the most notable one of that denomination in the city ana cost $250, ,O0O.
 MT. Walker says he also saw some thing in all the big cities that he want ed to speak of for the benefit of those Phoenix people who contend that it ! makes a town look cheap to see real 1 estate signs on vacant lots everywhere. bearing flor sale" legends. He says Chicago, Buffalo and New York are ! full of them. Ne noticed in New York i, on the corner of S3rd street and Fifth avenue. the most fashionable thorough
 fare in the city, a vacant lot on which ! there were eight of these signs. bear 1 ing the names of as many different l firms.
 Mrs. Walker spent most of the sum
 mer at her former home in western New York. going from there with her mother and grandmother to her moth ] CTS old home in Herkimer county, | which Mrs. Walker had never seen. It
 was a delightful visit for her as the | family is of revolutionary stock and the locality Is rich in historical inc | dents of the revolution. Mrs. Walk
 CT, who was qute i'll when she left here has also been much improved by he. l summer outing and gained consider ably in weight.
