NEW YORK, the biggest and most interesting city on the western hemisphere, is composed of five boroughs, viz : Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond, and The Bronx. It is a pleasant and instructive city to see, and an easy one to travel through. Manhattan is mostlj- laid off in squares, formed by numbered avenues running north and south, and numbered streets running east and west. Fifth avenue is the dividing line between the east 'and west divisions of these streets. Thus: East Thirtieth street begins at Fifth avenue and extends toward East River. West Thirtieth street begins at the same avenue and continues to the Hudson. No. 1 of each of these streets would be the first door from Fifth avenue. Long lines of surface and elevated railroads run up and down town, and as Manhattan Island, where the densest part of the 3,500,000 population lives, is a long, narrow tongue of rockj- land, the visitor can easily get about from place to place by connecting lines of street cars. The fare on all lines is five cents. To know where and how to go in New York it is well to study a little beforehand, while a slight knowledge of the his- tory of the Metropolis will be a gain to any sightseer. The building of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle is situated at the corner of Washington and Johnson streets, Brooklyn, only a short distance from the end of the Bridge. It is a model news- paper office, containing all that is latest and up-to-date in the management or for the production of a modern newspaper. From the top floor, where are twenty of the finest typesetting machines, to the basement, where are three of the best Hoe presses made, the Eagle establishment is complete. A cordial invitation is extended to all visitors to the city to visit the Eagle office and to watch the production of a great dail}' newspaper. The best time to visit the office is from i to 4 in the afternoon. The Brooklyn Eagle Almanac is a handbook of information about the Greater New York, packed full of useful and necessary information, and containing as well information upon other topics that a good almanac ought to have. The price is 25 cents. The Eagle also issues a Guide to Washington, a Guide to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and a Guide to Paris is in preparation. On Sunday, October ist, the Eagle will give with the paper a handsome lithograph picture of the Dewey Triumphal Arch special Objects of Interest. We will suppose that the visitor is wide-awake, and wants to see what is really best worth his attention, with too short a time for selection. Let him, after his first survey from a house- top, go to the Battery and glance in at the Aquarium, if he has the rare luck to find it open. The building in which it is housed is an old fort, and, as Castle Garden, was known for many years as an immigrant station. Now climb up to the train of the Sixth avenue elevated road, and ride to the end of it. This will give an idea of the compact building of the city, of its crowded streets, of its richly stocked shops, its handsome churches and theaters, its noise and rush, and its industry. Mile after mile of stores and tenements are passed. Beyond Sixtieth street Central Park shows on the right, and after passing that, Morningside Park rises into view on the left. From the end of the road the Harlem may be seen with the famous High Bridge and the larger Wash ington Bridge spanning the steep banked stream. Return by the same road to the Fifty ninth street station, and leave the cars. Walk eastward to Central Park, ramble through a little of it, walk around it to the menagerie, and then continue along the east wall of the Park to the splendid Metropolitan Museum of Art, with the Egyptian obelisk on a knoll near by. If one had to choose some one thing to see in New York, the Metropolitan Museum would be a wise choice. Admission is free except on Mondays and Fridays, when a fee of twenty-five cents is charged. Across the Park, the reservoirs and a tower commanding a fine view, is the American Museum of Natural History, with superb cabinets of minerals, rocks, gems, woods, shells, stuffed and preserved animals of air, land, and sea, eth- nological relics, and such like matters of interest to the student. Now descend Fifth avenue, by stage, if you like, to St. Patrick's Cathedral, the most imposing Catholic church in the United States. Near by are the residences of the Vanderbilts and other wealthy families, though the avenue is fast losing its residential character, and is becoming a street of shops. The principal dealers in pictures are to be found on this thoroughfare between Twen- tieth and Fortieth streets, and admission to their collections is always free. As a rule they have only European work on sale. Other noteworthy objects seen in passing southward are the old reservoir at Forty-second street, now being torn down for the new library; numerous club houses, some fine churches and immense hotels, where a suite of three small rooms, without G Visitor's Guide to New York. board, costs from $150 to $500 a week, and where a modest little dinner breaks a ten dollar bill. Madison Square, with its dom- inating- and beautiful tower of the Madison Square Garden, adapted from the famous Giralda of Seville, and Union Square, are pleasant breaks in the architectural monotony. At the southern end of Fifth avenue is a graceful arch of marble lead- ing into the park that used to be a paupers' burial ground, and across which lie the shabby buildings of the French quarter. In a trip of this kind a few of the principal sights may be seen in a day if the traveler is quick in the use of his eyes and his legs. If time allows, he should give a glance at the parks, the theaters and music halls, the docks and piers, the new law courts, the Tombs, Columbia College, with its librarj"^ and collections, the Academy of Design and Fine Arts building, where important exhibitions are held during the season, the Metropolitan Opera House, which has but one rival in the world, the Paris opera; the stoutly built armories of the National Guard, the great hos- pitals, homes, asylums, reformatories and other agencies in the care, education, and improvement of the masses Brooklyn Borough, reached by the Bridge and many ferry lines, deserves a day, if it can be spared, and in any case the visitor should walk across the Bridge. The westward walk is the pleas- antest, as the views are ampler in that direction. In Brooklyn will be found a settlement of a million people, quieter, more home-loving than the Manhattanese, their streets shaded, their houses frequently isolated amid lawns.

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Described by the 19th-century architectural historian Montgomery Schuyler as "the largest, :rrost imposing, and :rrost luxurious of the club-houses of New York'' the Metrop:::>litan Club Building was designed by Stanford White, a partner in the firm of McKim, Mead & White, and was built between 1892 and 1894.~ Executed on a grand scale in a restrained Italian Renaissance manner, the building incorporated the prestige and dignity of the Club's founding members. !-len's clubs were a well-established tradition in early New York.

  • BUSINESSMAN Can't Take It with You the Art of Making and Giving
    ffirs.qxd 2/25/04 9:36 AM Page i Praise for Can’t Take It with You “Lewis Cullman is one of this nation’s major and most generous philanthro- pists. Here he combines a fascinating autobiography of a life in finance with a powerful exposé of how the business of giving works, including some tips for all of us on how to leverage our money to enlarge our largess.” —Walter Cronkite “Lewis Cullman has woven a rich and seamless fabric from the varied strands of his business, philanthropic, and personal life. Every chapter is filled with wonderful insights and amusing anecdotes that illuminate a life that has been very well lived. This book has been written with an honesty and candor that should serve as a model for others.” —David Rockefeller “An extraordinary look at the accomplishments of a pioneer in finance. Cullman has approached his role as a philanthropist with vigor and presents a powerful argument for reform among private foundations.” —George Soros Chairman, Soros Fund Management “I was so enjoyably exhausted after reading the book—I can only imagine liv- ing the life! It seems there is no good cause that Lewis has not supported, no good business opportunity that Lewis has missed, and no fun that Lewis has not had.” —Agnes Gund President Emerita, The Museum of Modern Art “Now I know that venture capitalism and horse trading are almost as much fun as looking for new species in the Amazon. This book is exceptionally well written. The prose is evocative, vibrant, and inspirational.” —Edward O.
