Show NEW YORK NOTES A Walk Down the Kuwcrj Central Iart World Fair Special CorrpspondeiiceJ NEW YOUK June 2 A walk around Now York i full u inspirit Doesticks made around lug as the triple circuit Dotcs Rhode Island before breakfast I i also extensive But what strikes nearly n strke ono mot as ho goes into various parts of this great city is that it is so various Wo have been told that there are more Irishmen in New York than in Dublin more Germans than in Btiilin and s on and now it is i said tho Chinamen who are in excess on the Pacific coast are emigrating here rapidly I from that quarter to add to our already ample supply of Asiatics But I began to say something about walks and one that I took tho other day was through a typical part of tho Bowery This street was once one cf the most note cow paths on this primitive island I remember bearing a very old man say when I little that he when bo little was nltte boy tht was a ltto boy drove his fathers cows home at night over this road And ho said I my father bad only kept the form instead of selling itl1 What a fortune to be sure he would havo badl badlI i now in its way more lively and animated ani-mated than Broadway I i in fact a broader street tan Broadway is Its Bower theatre i a noted feature and out of the oldest old-est in town You do not t 0 sure get avery a-very elevated performance there but it pleases a certain stratum and will amuse n cultivated man for once t see what it i that amuses so many of his fellow mortals I bo has the Germans taste for boer bo con have beer and cigars such as they are in his seat This theatre has been burned down by accident acci-dent three times and I knew a gentleman not now living a country meant who needed to come to the city t buy his goods who happened in town just in time t sec its incineration in each of the three instances Nowhere as in the Bowery does the cheap show and museum s much flourish and nowhere no-where as it seems t me is there such I solemn d depressing joy Circassian girls genuine or imitated a few caged animals chiefly monkeys a bearded or fat woman a few sleepy snakes and fifteen or twenty cosmoramic views of no real merit aro about the < nibstanco that each museum gives except a little jingling music from a gve piano with a dreary stage performance annexed an-nexed But tlie o things continue t draw I rom the poorer classes possibly because i bey cost any ono of them only a few cents I Her and on tbe Thiixl avenue n genuine pecincns of the bier halo a you see it on lie Rhine I recall one of those I entered j with a

classes that turn out i On Satuitiay afiemoon the litw half holi I day on Sutitloys and on other Holidays you see the laboring class in the great majority I The most exhilnratirc Fart of the ark Oi these occasions i the common uuch is a largo meadow and viliich endless groups of children a thick u dairies in n fed addicted t them occupy for their rolls and plays and pranks On these occasions groviii people can go upon the foibsdilen gru s tt this point and stroll about without fear of the policeman police-man who is himself there Though the servants ser-vants in charge of the children are numerous it L surprising to see the small joungsttr who stroll there without guides mil in some cases possibly without permission But no harm seems t result from this In some isay they inquire is two little girls did of me separately and find their way home Tr see the more elegant equipages of the rich take other dnys than those for your visits i but at no time i the pretty scene of the children on the common about I hear that the talk i once more revived of a great woiIds fair at the Inpinning of the next decade in lX A good number of g influential people favor it the iiewpnpcrs and hotels and stores would profit by it ali there i no one to object S Ids not see why it may not b expected Ntw York it will b remembered had the second odds fair that was ever held Its site was near the old reservoir ou what i now called Biyanta parK on the corner of Fortysecond street and Sixth avenue But no such space would suffice for ole now After the grandeur gran-deur of the Philadelphia centennial exhibition exhibi-tion it will require no small effort to keep up the climax that will b necessary and expected ex-pected But it be done if the ri bt pt can b d011 right men take it in hand It will b a different New Yorkwith its many elevated roads and with perhaps its two or more Brooklyn bridges then which the world will come to see than that which before the war was visible hero Unityfive years ago how different only those who stroll about the city now can even faintly imagineJOEL JOEL BENTOU i I The first one was that given at Hyde Park Bear London in Js51 I |
