 The uptown Delmonico's is dissolving in dust now. Old Mike Delmonico, the waiter, baked his own bread and cook ed his own meats in his downtown shack. His restaurant became the tenn pie in which all western gastronomers worshipped. No restarateur in the world was ever so widely known. There may have been a dozen better kitchens in each European capital, but in Amer ica "Del's" stood alone. The classic story of the western miner was located in "Dels."
 Give me a dozen broiled lobsters," said he. He had heard of broiled lob sters, but had never seen them. They were brought in, each on a tray, by a procession of walters. The miner watched the walters parade around the room as the other diners smiled.
 ''Go round once more," he ordered.
 The walters paraded, looking rather foolish this time.
 "The third lobster from this end looks best," he said. Throw the others away"
 Roster and Bial's old music hall on Twenty third street is being torn down, too. Most of us thought it had dis appeared years ago. It was the cen ter of New York's night life in the days when ladies wore sweeping skirts and scoop bonnets. Boss Tweed and Jim Fisk contributed many of the cham pagne corks with which one room was ceiled. The old music hall was the naughtiest thing in our national his tory. We were proud of it as far west as Dodge City.
