a line of flying machines up
above the elevated they would
reach the limit. Still there are
not enough cars for the people
to ride on without crowding in
like cattle. You don't have to
wait for a car here one comes
along about every half minute.
When we left home they told
US not to let the business of the
Times office worry us-not to
think about it. Well, we don't
when we are out in the street.
By the time a man lodges an
automobile every thirty sec
onds and a tram of street cars
the other thirty seconds, and
keeps his eye out for the ten
Thousands of carriages, cabs,
buses. truck wagons, etc,
that fill the street he doesn't
have time to let his business
IVORY him not much he for
gets that he has any other OBJ
ject in life save getting back t,
his room alive. But New York
is an easy city to get around in.
Broadway, Fifth avenue and all
the named streets run north
and south, while the numbered
streets run east and west.
Every street corner is named
and numbered and you can al
ways tell what part of the city
you are in.
We took in Central Park yes
terday morning elrly, and it is
a beautiful place. about as wide
as it is from Ninth street to
First street in Missouri Valley
and about three miles long.
Think of that, in a city where
land is the most valuable of
any place in the world. The
park is a natural park, the trees
being the same as they were
when they were a part of the
forest covering this island. You
run across miniature water falls
every little while. The park
contains magnificent drives for
both carriages and automobiles
and fire walks for the pedes-
trian. The order in the park
is perfect, as there are hum
dreds of police scattered about,
and the first disturbance a
rowdy makes, Gin he goes.
The park is surely a paradise
for the poor of the city.
We visited Mr.. Gutzon Borg
lum's studio yesterday and
found him just finishing a life
size statue of ex-senator
Mackey. 1t represents Mr..
Mackey as he was when he was
a miner in the old Comstock
and it is beautiful piece of
work. We found 10 Ladue i'm
Mr. Borglum's studio. 10 is
happy and Mr.. Borglum in
formed US that Joseph was a
boy OF much latent talent and
was we'll pleased with him. He
has become thoroughly citifed
and a string of automobiles and
street cars don't worry him any
more. Yesterday morning
Frank and took a buss got
ID to- as they do in London,
"doncherknow' and rode from
West 104th down to Washing
ton park, in fact most the en-
tire distance of Fifth avenue.
Along the avenue are scattered
many of the fine buildings ard
interesting sights of the city.
In our ride we passed the Met
ropolltan museum, Senator
Clark's marble palace on the
corner of 18th street and Fifth
avenue. With all of Clark's
money and this beautiful mar
bic hom,. covering almost half
a block, he failed to get the
recognition of society in tlis
city. I'm other words che didn't

list street, on the avehue. Al
68th street and Fifth avenue
the Ycrlses home was point d
out to Us. Mrs. Yerkes lives
here with her new kid hus' and.
On Goth street and Fifth avenue
located the Millionairas Club.
1t is not a pretentious building
but the members of this club
represent more money than any
club in the world. A man must
be worth over q million dollars
before he can become a mem

to- have our name sent i'm until

distance is the old home of
Cornelius Vanderbilt. In his
