Sightseeing 'in : JVetv J^orl^.
Many Points of Interest Which Appeal to Summer Visitors to
the Metropolis and Which May Be Readily Reached.
New York City may be ranked among the great
rammer resort* of the country, for the throng of
visitors here in the heated term is always great.
And well it may be, for r.o place in the land af
fords the variety of sightseeing and entertain
ment that can be found within the borders and in
the environs of Hits, great metropolis.
This city has »h«> distinction of being the only
| treat city in the world with direct frontage on an
ocean.' New York, with the Coney Island beach
.in Brooklyn Borough and the Rockaway water
front in Queens Borough, has several miles of
sandy shore washed twice a day by the rising tides
of the broad Atlantic. In addition thereto there
are vast stretches of salt water in the I,ower Bay.
Jamaica Bay. Gravesend Bay. Karitan Bay, Statea
Island. the Sound and the Kill Yon Kull, to say
nothing of the Upper Bay. which joins the waters
of the Hudson and the East River.
Within the city limits are the great seaside re-
Forts. Coney Inland and Rockaway Beach, the
lesser ones of Midland Beach, Bergen Beach.
North Beach, Fort George and Inwood Beach, all
accessible from any part by the expenditure of a
nickel or two.
The visitor to New York is apt to see more of
the attractive features of the great metropolis than
the stay-at-home resident here. But there are
many things which both those living here and thoso
here temporarily can enjoy to the full in these fine
summer days.
For Instance, there is the seeing New York by
automobile. This form of pleasure has become so
popular that there are several companies which
;lnd It profitable to provide the machines for public
use. A feature for the summer season Is the trip
from the heart of Manhattan to the sights of Coney
Island over the bridge to Brooklyn and through
delightful Prospect Park and the fine Ocean Park
way to the sea. The Majestic Sightseeing Com

There are sightseeing automobiles of the Page
electric type -which start from the same point for
the trip around New York, at 10 a. ni., 2 p. m.,
and 4 p. m. In the evening- trips arc made through
Chinatown and the Bowery, at 8.30 and 11.30, and
well informed guides accompany strangers on these
trips.
One of the most popular forms of summer amuse
ment in the heart of the metropolis is the roof

CROWDED QUARTERS.
How the Italians Herd Together on
the East Side.
A year's residence in an Italian tenement house
In New York taught me first of all the isolation of
a foreign quarter; how completely cut off one may
he from everything that makes New York New
York. The necessities of life can be bought without
leaving the square in which is your home. After
a lit- ■ it occasioned no surprise to meet grand
parents whose own children were born In New
York who had newer crossed to the east side of the
Bowery, never seen Broadway, nor had ever been
north of Houston street. There was no reason
why they should go. Every interest in life centred
within four block*.
Th!« house in which we lived was built for
twenty-eight .families; about fifty-six occupied it.
Of those who remained tenants long enough for me
to knew which rooms they belonged in. 1 found
twenty-three persons over eighteen years of age
born In this country who had never attended school.
Five were younsr married women. One man who
has been In the country twenty-eight years could
not speck or understand one word of English. He
had four children. A more pathetic sight than
this man and his wife with their English speaking
children you cannot imagine. Nothing but com
pulsion made those children uf« Italian. The two
civilizations Were always at war.
One of my neighbors whose own family consisted
of four adults and two children occupied an apart
mem of three rooms. She tried subletting, but no
tenant admitted remained ir.ore than one week.
Finally she, a:?o, took boarders or lodgers, having
st one time seven. These men owned mattresses.
which In the daytime were rolled up, at night
f.riu.l on the floor. A few owned boxes, which
were piled one on top of the other against the wall.
The rooms always looked as though the people were
moving. One of the boarders, a debonair young
man. Invited me In to see the preparations he bad
ti:a«le to receive Us bride, expected on the steamer
from Italy, then almost due. The space for the
brats and green bedstead, piled high with
mattresses and pillows, covered with lace trimmed
epread and cr.t<-s. had been secured by the ejection
of two men ledgers sod their mattresses.
The cords na which the men bins; the clothes
gardens, which afford the pleasure of witnessing
a theatrical performance in the open air and amid
surroundings that are agreeable. The idea started
in the centre of Manhattan, but spread to the other
parts of the city. One of the latest developments
in this line is the presentation of "Old Heidelberg"
on the roof of the Metropolis Theatre, at Third
avenue and 112 d street. This has become a popu
lar resort for automobile parties from all parts of
the city, and is especially convenient for uptown
residents, it :s under the management of Hurtig
& Scamon.
One of the delightful places to dine uptown is
Heumann's Harlem Casino, at 124 th street and
Seventh avenue, and it is popular for driving and
automobile parties. The chef at Heumann's has
gained a well deserved reputation for the especial
dtettes served, and particularly for the German
features for which the place is noted. Every even
ing and Sunday afternoon there is a concert grand,
at which Rigo, the Hungarian violinist, appears,
accompanied by the Royal Imperial Court Tsigane
Orchestra.
The revived Interest in roller skating this season
after an interval of several years gives especial In
terest to the attractions at the Colonial Rink, at
Columbus avenue and 101 st street. This has ten
thousand square feet of maple . flooring and Is
lighted by electricity, while music lends its charms
to the sport on the floor. The new ballbearing
skates make the pleasurable exercise peculiarly
fascinating, and Its athletic and stimulating effects
are enjoyable and beneficial.
One of the historic spots on the island of Man
hattan is Fort George, and its transformation into
a summer resort has made it popular with great
throngs of visitors. One of the features of Fort
George is the resort kept by Captain Louis Wendel.
From its roof, where one may dine al fresco, is to
be seen a most captivating panorama of scenery
embracing both the Hudson and the Harlem rivers.
Across the former rise the greenclad Palisades.
and beyond the Harlem lie University Heights.
The visitor will often find his attention diverted
from the attraction of the table to the picturesque
scenery, although the menu provides dainties which
all appreciate.
Another famous historic spot on Manhattan Is
Washington Heights, which command an extensive
view of the Hudson and the Palisades. Here stand
old Fort Washington, the site of which has been
marked by patriotic societies, and the old Jumel
mansion, which was Washington's headquarters in
1776. At Fort Washington Road and 161 st street is
they were not wearing had been changed to permit
of the hanging of gay curtains about the bed.
Every member of the family and all the boarders
met the bride, escorted her to the church on the
block above, where the marriage took place, and
brought her home, a little child, with solemn eyes,
now startled by the strange scenes through which
she had come, but clinging trustfully to the hand
of her youthful husband. The next day she was
sewing ••pants," while her handsome husband lay
back In a rocker playing the mandolin. The bride,
beamingly happy, sat at her task until her aunt
appeared and in tones there was no mistaking told
the young husband to 'get out and hustle for a
Job." So life began for the two. I found at the end
of a month thai the bride ha.! not left those rooms
from the moment she entered them and that she
worked, Sundays Included, fourteen hours a day.
The Italian women are rarely good housekeepers.
I have known two out of fifty, but it is only fair
to say that one had four rooms entirely for the
use of her family of seven; the other divided four
rooms with her father, mother and little sister. The
mother went to work every day. These two house
keepers would have given points to a New England
housekeeper. The Italian woman is not a good
housekeeper, but she la a home maker. She does
not fret; dirt, disorder, noise, company never dis
turb her. Rarely is the space she occupies her own.
She must share everything with those about her.
She Is gregarious. Sim lives in the oj>en. A tene
ment nous* ball in New York is the substitute for
the road of her village. She sits iii the doorway
with her baby crawling through the hull. Her
neighbors do likewise. She cooks one meal a day,
and that at night. Pot or pan may be placed in the
middle of the table and each help himself from it.
but the food is up to the standard of her husband.
It Is what ha wants.
Their wants are the barren necessities of life
shelter, food, clothing to cover nakedness. The
children's clothes are washed when they go to bed,
and often a woman will wash her one dress, stand
ing in her underclothing. Their lives are so migra
tory that tilings ar< : burdensome. Life is reduced
to its lowest terms. The high rents and the un
certain wages in New York make the egtabllHh
ment of a home on any certain basis impossible
The home depend.; on the possession of regular
wages, and few of the Italians who come to un
have this for years, if ever. I have found them
drifting in old age Just as they did when they
landed, bride and groom, boy or girl. Hardly two
months are they in thii tame rooms. Thin constant
moving destroys the love, of home. There is no
courage to dean and arrange belongings when the
end of the month may mean un other move. Things
becomes burden, and only articles absolutely neces
sary ore owned. Cartage is rarely paid, for the
family and friends do n»e moving. If the attend
ance officer grows troublesome, the factory In
spector too jieisisuiK, the Board of Health too in
quisitive, it is so easy literally to pick up one's
bed and walk into another mass of human beings
and be lost. They can move as silently as th*
Arabs, and do so In the night watches. A resi
dence of one year for a tenant is remarkable. So
uncertain is their address that Italian- living here

the Grand View Hotel, a favorite resort of auto
mobile parties, and which is also easily accessible
by the subway to the 157 th street station. It is
open all the year and affords an admirable place
for dining- "far from the madding crowd. "
A novel resort far uptown on Manhattan Island
is the Inwood Bathing Beach, at Dyckman (206 th)
street and the Hudson River. The clean sandy
beach, the fine stretch of water and the bathing
houses have combined to make this especially
popular. It is only three minutes' walk from the
Broadway cars, and there are accommodations for
1,500 persons at a time. A lifesavlng crew Is at
hand for the protection of bathers, and swimming
masters afford instruction to those who arc not
competent swimmers. Boats may be secured for
rowing, and refreshments are served in the
pavilion.
On the beach at Coney Island the visitors always
seek the best place to dine, and those are always
satisfied who go to the Hotel Riccadonna, 0:1 the
Ocean Parkway, midway between Brighton Beach
and West Brighton, and close to botii ami equally

is a splendid view of ocean and beach from the

From New York to the North Pole !s an es
pecially desirable trip to take on a hot night.
Great sums of money are being expended by the
Wellman party to reach the real pole by airship.
but New Yorkers who go to Surf avenue, Coney

without peril. It is the largest electric scenic

There was a wedding where silk and satin, broad
cloth, flannel shirts and cotton dresses were worn
with common ease. There was no self-conscious
ness. Wine flowed so fr«-ely that it flowed down
the stairs in rivulets. Laughter rang through the
house ull night. The bride was the daughter of a
popular hanker. The wedding was in a three room
apart nunt hired by the bridegroom. The next day
a family of seven moved in. The bridegroom had
sublet.
Subletting Is the habit of the Italians, because
rent Is the outlay they resent. The first home of
the immigrant is made usually with one of his
countrymen who lias at least learned how to rent
rooms. One of the commonest and saddest sights
of an Italian tenement is this arrival of the new
family, in rooms already crowded, to make its first
home In America. Their adaptability is marvellous.
Within a week they are as settled "as they will be
nt the end of years. The mother is sewing "pants."
The neighbors' children have taken the new chil
dren to school. The husband has acquired a brass
cluck, the guarantee of wages, or he has begun hts
rounds with pack or cart. Two hours after a fam
ily bas moved in I have seen the furniture placed
and the family life resumed as though never" inter
rupted.—Lillian W. Betts in "University Settlement

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION OF 1907.
The exposition as planned is different from any
which has yet been held either in this country or
abroad. The Industrial feature, which has hereto
fore been predominant at every great exposition
from the Philadelphia Centennial down to the St.
Louis World's Fair, is to be. subordinated to the
historical and reminiscent, and the marine and
military features will have special prominence.
The expenditure required to produce features of
Interest to all classes and conditions of men will
be nothing like so great as at St. Louis and Chi
cago. Numerous land buildings will not be re
quired, nor will vast stretches of grounds have to
be placed In order. The mere fact, however, that
the expenditures to be made In the erection of
buildings and the hiving out of grounds will not
equal more than one-tenth those made at St. Louis
Is not an Indication that the exposition will be small
or mean. If the plans of the government nrui the
management of the exposition carry, it Is com
puted mat the United States alone will have pres
ent nt all times war vessels that will approximate
$10u.flt»\<Wu In value. The foreign nations that have
promised to participate will probably send an even
larger number, inakiiu, it is estimated, a display
of fighting craft alwayn In view th it will repre
sent a money value of $2dO,o*j.CoO. or full five tinier
the total cost of the St. Louis Exposition. Th.
merchant and passenger craft will abio represent a
largo outlay.
But whatever may be done toward making the
exposition Itself attractive, even though million*
might be spent upon it. its historical siting must
be to all Americans the one feature thai will at
tract mom attention and create the greatest In
terest. There Is no other section of the New World

The visitor to the metropolis or the persons who
for one reason or another find it Impossible to gat
away for any extended period will find the facili
ties for excursions to all points that can be reached
by water among: the most delightful means of en
joyment on midsummer day;-. There are especial
trips at this season of the year that take from a
few hours to all day. up the Hudson, out on the
Sound, down the Jersey beach and to Coney Island
and Rockaway. The Iron Steamship company's
hourly trips to Dreamland are especially popular,
as are those <>f the Grand Republic to Rockaway
Beach. Daylight trips on Ix>ng Island Sound arc
to be made by the boats of the Norwich, New
Haven and Bridgeport lines, and night trips by the
Fall River and Jo;.- lines. A Sunday excursion to
Block Island, that Rhode Island resort far out at
sea, is a feature of midsummer Sundays. Trips to
West Point. Newburg. Poughkeepsle and other HuoV
son River points by the steamers of the Day IJne
are over popular. The Red Bank Line down the
bay and up the Shrewsbury affords delightful trips
to the Highlands and Red Bank, with connections
to Long Branch and Asbury Park. Railroad trips
to be taken with dtllght at this season are those
to Mauch Chunk, with its famous Switchback; to
Atlantic City and to Long Island points.
The delights of a day excursion by water to any
nearby point nre many and rewarding. The ever
changing panorama in going up the North River,
out the Kast Rivor and the Sound or down the Bay
affords constant delight. Many points of Interest
can be studied, and the guides to regions traversed
and good maps are always desirable, for the best

Public to Have More Freedom on
Beach Front.
Asbury Park. July H (Special >. -Mayor Charles A
Atkins has won In his light with the Public
Grounds Commission to give the public more free
dom on the ocean front. Beginning next week the
theatrical matinees In the Casino, which is owned
by the city, will be abandoned, and that structure
will be open to the public every morning and after
noon. Free Sunday afternoon concerts will be
given for the rest of the season by a band ana
free concerts also every weekday afternoon by an
orchestra.
The Mayor Insisted that shelter be provided for
the general public on the beach front in case or
rain, and the Public Grounds Commission will prob
ably have the two galleries of the Casino which
overtook the boardwalk shut off from the theatre
and throw them open for free public use at ail
times. These galleries will accommodate several
thousand persons and can be reached from the
boardwalk by Iron stairways.
"You have taken everything away from the peo
ple." the Mayor said in making his complaints to
the commission on Thursday evening. "There Is a
lack of seats and shelter and the public is com
plaining. You must keep the people who come to
Asbury Park sweet and good natured and it tf em
know the city wants to please them. We must
cater to the masses, and you must have that point
la view whatever you do, for we must be liberal
if we would have our city retain Us popularity."

HISTORY OF INFLUENZA.
Influenza, like the poor, -we have always with
us. It may be some comfort to know that in
the good old days things were no better. In
Paris In the sixteenth century frends on meet
ing greeted each other with the question, "N'cn
as-tu point goute un morcelet?" Long before
that the scourge was equally rife. It interfered
with the work of the law and prevented the

of the automobile show, to be given in the Fifth
Avenue Arcade on August 22 to 25. All the leading
automobile manufacturers are interested and the
exhibition promises to be a success. The Common
Council will be asked to designate Ocean avenue
as a speedway for the races to be held in connec
tion with the show, and If the request is granted
Mr. Morgan will introduce a one thousand mile non
stop test, which will also include a tire and fuel
contest. ;
An ordinance creating an excise board of five
members, to be elected in November, was passed
over the Mayor's veto by th" Common Council
this week, to the satisfaction of the hotel men. who
adopted this schema to test the constitutionality
of the law which forbids the sale of liquor within
one mile of Ocean Grove or any other incorporated
camp meeting resort. It is probable th;«t one or
more hotel owners will bring a friendly action In
the Supreme Court to hasten a decision as to the
right of one municipality to govern another as to
the regulation of the liquor traffic.
One of the bishops of t'ne Methodist Episcopal
Church will preach in the Ocean Grove Auditorium
to-morrow morning and evening. Next Friday will
be Pwnnlnjfton Seminary day. when an address will
be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Janes M. Buckley,
of New York. Editor of "The Christian Advocate."
A week from to-morrow will be Children's Sun
day, when the Rev. Dr. R. F. Y. Pierce, a Baptist
minister from Scranton, Pcnn.. " will deliver un

ORIENTAL AND MANHATTAN BEACH.
With a week of sultry days, Manhattan Beach
has been more than usually taxed with visitors
from New York and nearby places. The surf
has been warm and inviting, and even early
morning finds the bathing pavilion filled with
enthusiastic pleasure seekers.
Senator and Mrs. Phut arrived at the Oriental
on Friday and will remain for the rest of July.
The seventy-third birthday of the Senator occur-3
to-day, and to celebrate this there will bo a
birthday dinner, a feature of which will lie an
immense cake, upon which will. burn seventy
three candles. For many years Senator Matt
has made the Oriental his summer home, and
for the last decade he has missed only once or
twice celebrating his birthday here. With the
arrival of the Senator, the Oriental Is taking on
the ohltline political atmosphere. Judge D. Cady
