TRIP TO NEW YORK,
' 8Pegial COrrOgiOndeliCe Of the New Sea, .
About the middle of August I noticed an
advertisement in the Toronto 01.0be Stating that
.
there would ba an excursion from Toronto to
New York City, leaving August 2611i, and that
tioketa for the Mend tem would be only 49, tile
tickas being good for ten dam The ae ver.
tisement alto stated that the excursion weld
be Tun • uPeu the Reme",,Waterdown. Ogdeus-
burg audIlidlend and es I traced out
the courseupon a railroad map, I found that
;thelrip would -,bo one of unusnat interest; ai
the 'scenery along tbe tine of the railroad was
040 of the finest. ia the State, As it had always
been an ambitionwith meto nee New York, an
thinking thisa favorable opportuuity, taceord-
tngly Made arratgements to accompany the
excursien. The excurnion boat for conveying
parties froni Termite to Lewiston• wee to call
on her way at Niagara totake on pansengers
from St. Oetharines and vicinity. Accordingly;
on the morning of August 26th, .I made my
way thither, .... Abouteix eolockw e hoarded -the -
boat at Niagara, mg' steamed up the river to
Lewiston. . There was considerable trouble on
arrival ie the searching of baggage, as there
were fully. Eiji hundred exciursion in ts. We took
a 'bus- for therailway station,about three-
qaartereof a Mite distant, and on snivel were
lucky enough to secure seats in the train -Vie
train being terribly.orowded.• The trip from
Lewiston to New York took twenty-four hours.
came from Lewiston -to Oswego on whatia-
termed the " lake route," This part of the
journey I found really interesting. The scenery
was truly grend..., A wide expanse of water
*as spread out at .onr left, upon .which nu-
merous vessels could be seen ; ,while as ,a batik -
ground, as far as the7eYe could reach, a moun-
tain covered with treesand bustles with'.dath
green foliage, could be seen looming up in the
distance; Ae we neared a- small-town, about•
balf-warth Oswego, We saw what we drat sup-.
paredto be .im.enormous fire ; but as the dis-
tance lessened it proved to. be calcium light.
Al that time this was it greet curiosity to rae,.
but I afterwards saw the light tested ti number
Of times in New, York. ,Thelight is es the
light Of pere white light. 'The contrast
is very .noticeable in color, when Compared
with a gee light. Shortly 'after this (twelVe
o'cleck). I dropped off to- Sleep, and slept, for.
two or three hours. • It was atilt dark.when I
'atinke, eo that nothing °mild be seep Outside
:the oar. • Arday dawned there Rae upon our
Vision a kens of wondrous grandeur. Our line
lay on the ridge of a chain of mourilains or
hills,' while on either hand a most lovely valley
lay beneath us. Itwas not reerelY,,a 'bit of
latelletid;-,1ffit iathrtir
by wifficatinioo tf smaller billet, while still be-.
hindthose rose °there larger and greater, all
of which (the hills in the background) appeared
to be coveted With it seeciee•of tree resembling
the Norway spruce, iateriningled With the
ooinmon.yellow pine. Theland lathe valley
beneath, ns was laid out in Smallfarms,- all
looking as thrifty and neat art .possible„ The
farm _houses were Meetly Of the "better Class,
being painted *white; which made 'the, effect.
truly grand, half ,hid -front view, as theywere,.
by the shrubbery ironed. We came to small
:villages or towns evei7 few miles along this
valley, and moat of -them seemed to be eon7
neoted by,one or more streams of Water, Which
madethem look beautiful. We creased almost
numberless trestle bridges, some ef them ap.
peering too frail to bear one's•weight. Some
of the mountainsmete so steep that we had to
pan -round and round 'thane so. as to ;amend
there gradually. The •grandeur Of thefull
morning snit :breaking in open such a scene
emi only be realized by experiending the reality.
On and On we Went; whilesonzetimee our track
• would be, out Out bolsi the solid rock leaving
high rooky banks sometimes thirty. or forty
feet high on either hand. On two -different
occasions we passed through great mountains
by means of tunnels, Jae that •lamps had to' lie
lit in: the iniddle.of day. • One of these linings:
was three-fourths of it mile in length. Son*
times our cootie .Woolct be:on-the top of tipme-
mighty hills, 'giving the eye a sweephig•vievr
of the nuntry round; Eterything ,Was se.iii-
teresting to me that the time seen slipped by,,
and before long I found that we were.going
throtiglia conpleof miles of Marshy' land whiala
loads to jersey city, .At jersey city we took
Vie 'ferry ever to Neve York, whielt-in-vnar
'abotit half it mite distant. 'These ferry boats
are fully, double -the size of the, steamboats
that pass themighthe Welland canal, aud both
ends are macla exactly alike, se that either end
May bo front or back, . In this way the boat
need net turn toond, in passing between the
two cities. There. are Tully a &men of these
ferries running between the two plades, so that
there is a boat leaving either city every five,
minutes. It was alio* six p. ni. when we
arrived at New York: "The next Morning after'
arrival I look a street car for the central park,
about five miles distant, Wheee I•epent the daYe
The park is composed of very rooky ground;
in fact.the larger portion Of the grounds seem
to be
materially adds to the beady of the scene.'
There are nine Miles of • drives through the
park, -this giros an idea of the extent -or the
grounds, -en fact, I was told that the park was
• three miles in leegth and half ti Mile in width
The hilly portions are covered with ornamental
shrubbery, while, the lower briele are made
into niee grew' lawns with rare flowers; all
being kept_ ae, neat and tidy as it is possible to
imagine. After walking around for an hour
or •so I saw a sign -post direoting to the zoologi-
cal garden's, and direeted my steps thither.
Here were 80 bit found eight or ten commodious
buildings; containing the different eurionitiee.
I first :Visited the " monkey house,' which
contained six large eagert of the different species.
The nista house contained a large cage of par-
rots of gaY colors, with three or four very good
talkere. fn this house there were also a large
cage of doves.and .another cage fifty feet long
containing hundreds of birds of brilliant ceders.
The next hourie.contained two large buffaloes,
The next, about thirty eagles of al1 the differ-
ent kinds. - The next honsepontained a large
number Of fancy pigeon, duke, turkey's, pea-
pOoke, and nuinoron ether birds, the times
of Which I have forgotten: The next.building
contained a law collection of wild, animals,

posed to twpear at the centennial exhibition.
