would equal nearly three feet. The many advantages secured by reason
of its division into sections are obvious.
There are forty-niue squares on Section 4 of the map, drawn to a scale
of one mile each. The squares on the remaining three sections are
one-half mile each in each direction. They may be considered as
grouped in series, those described by the horizontal red lines being
numbered from 1 to 6, beginning at the top and continuing to the
bottom of each section, while those embraced within the series of
vertical lines are indicated by
beginning with A, and continuing
letters,
uniformly to Y, through the four sections. Every square in the four
sections of the map is thus indexed with a letter and figure, giving to
each of the 157 squares, comprising this portion of the work, its index
character, thus — —
A 1, A 2 B 1, B 2 etc. These characters are always
:
used when referring to the location of Streets, Piers, Ferries, Hotels, etc.
The streets of the City below 133d Street are tabled in alphabetical
order on the back of the sections. The " Map Square," showing where
each street begins and ends, follows its title, making a complete index to
every street corresponding to its location on the map. For example, to
find in its alphabetical order Hudson Street, it will be seen that it begins
at square "C 3," and ends at square "F 2." By reference to these
index characters its exact location is determined at once.
The "Street Car Routes" arj systematically classed, each one of the
twenty-five Lines being indexed with the letters A to Y, inclusive (see
pages 52 to 55). The order in which each line traverses the various
streets is there accurately shown in a clear and comprehensive manner.
The " Elevated R.R. Stations " below 155th Street (see page 48) are
numbered from 1 to 67, inclusive. In the tables of Ferries, R.R. Depots,
Steamship Lines, Piers, Places of Amusement, Hotels, etc., the map
square, showing their location on the map, the numbers indicating the
nearest Elevated R.R. Station and the letters designating the nearest
Car Route, are placed opposite to each. For example, under heading
"Theatres and Places of Amusement," if it is desired to find the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, the index character "G3," in map square column,
shows its location on the map the letters " B-H-N," under column
;
headed Street Car Routes, refer to the Broadway (" B "), the Grand and
Forty-Second Street (" H "), and the Sixth Avenue (" N ") Street Car
Lines respectively, as immediately passing or near the Theatre, while
the figures " 2o-6th," in column of Elevated R.R. Stations, shows the
number and line of the nearest Elevated Station to such Theatre.
The street numbers at any point, on all the leading streets below
155th Street, running the length of the Island, in a northerly or southerly
direction, may be closely located by reference to the large table on

For convenience of reference the Streets and Avenues of the City are
arranged in condensed tabular form as shown on opposite page. Atten-
tion is called to the reference squares, A 1, B 2, etc., on the map, which,
with the exception of the fourth section, describe actual distances of
one-half mile each in either direction. The squares on section four
measure one mile across.
Fifth Avenue from Waverly Place to the Harlem River, a distance ol
about 6£ miles, is taken as a central line, dividing the city into East and
West. The house numbers on the numerical cross streets from 13th
Street to 133d Street begin at Fifth Avenue and run East and West,
beginning a new hundred at each avenue whether the prior hundred has
been filled out or not. The odd numbers are on the northerly or upper
sides of these streets, and the even numbers on the lower sides.
All of the avenues run north and south, the majority of them the whole
length of the island. They are designated as First, Second, and up to
Twelfth avenues, with an additional series known as Avenues A, B, C
and D. They are nearly uniformly one-eighth mile apart with the
exception of Lexington and Madison Avenues, which are situated between
Third and Fourth and Fourth and Fifth Avenues respectively. The
numbering of the avenues begins south and increases as they run north,!
East Houston Street forming the most southerly boundry line of thejj
majority of them. The table on pages 49 to 51 will enable one to closely
locate the house number on any avenue desired.
Distances between any two points in the city on the first three sections
of the map can be readily determined by using the " distance and tim
scale," one of which accompanies each copy of this work. Should it b
desired, for example, to go from Union Square to the Battery, the seal
would indicate i\ miles. The official schedule time in going this distanc
on the street cars is also shown thereon to average 28 minutes.
The scale will show at a glance the distance between any two parts of
the city and the corresponding average amount of time consumed in
ill.

POPULATION. The present population of the City, based upon the enum-
eration made by the police in the month of September, 1890, under a unani-
mous resolution of the Common Council, was found to be 1,710,715. The U.
S. Federal Census, taken in the month of June, returned only 1,513,101
inhabitants. About one-half of the residents of the City live below 14th
Street. In the Tenth Ward, within an area of a square mile, 290,000
persons are housed. The City's population is increasing at the rate of

the city aggregate the enormous sum of $382,346,000 they have risks ;
WATER. The new Croton Aqueduct, just completed, is the most co-
lossal engineering structure of its kind in the world. This stupendous
work commences at Croton Lake, forming a part of the Croton Water
Shed, which has an area of 339 square miles of never failing lakes,
streams and springs of the purest water. A magnificent Gate House is
constructed at the southern extremity of the Lake, from which point the
Aqueduct leads to the Gate House in 135th street, a distance of 30! miles.
The Aqueduct is 14 feet in diameter and built mostly in tunnel. The
water coming through this equivalent to a stream having a width of 50

admitted in July, 1890. To this there will soon be added a sum exceeding
$5,000,000, being the cost of new dams in the Croton Water Shed, the
construction of which are now in progress. The income from Croton

cross the bridge, which is about 110,000 per day. With the completion
of the improvements in the terminals, now under way, the bridge cars
alone will be able to carry 50,000 persons each way hourly. The daily
receipts from tolls alone exceed $2,800, or over $1,000,000 per annum.
The aggregate number of persons crossing the bridge up to January
1st, 1891, was 180,700,000. The President of the Board of Trustees es-
timates that within ten years the annual travel over the bridge will ex-
ceed 96,000,000 persons, yielding a yearly net profit of $1,770,000. The
total receipts from all sources from the date of opening to January 1,
its
1 891, amounted to $6, 800,000; $367, 200 of this sum was derived, principally
largest and best equipped in the world. Seventy men can load or unload
three hundred cars of grain here in a single day.
Among the terminals of the various railroads leading to the city, those
of the Erie Company atWeehawken, now approaching completion, are
among the most notable. The company's piers will have an area of
545,000 square feet. There will be 822,000 cubic feet of storage room
under cover, and two miles of vessels can load and unload at the piers
at one time. The yards containing the railroad tracks connected with
the piers will have a capacity for holding 2,200 cars.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has also under construction and
nearly completed, at Jersey City, the largest passenger station and one of
the finest R. R. terminals in the world. About $3,500,000 of the com-
pany's earnings are being invested here in various improvements. The
passenger station proper will consist of a single arched iron roof, 90 feet
in height, 652*0 ^ eet ^ on S an ^ 2 5^ feet in width along the river front;
this is exclusive of thewaiting room and ferry accommodations, which
are of immense proportions and built in the most substantial manner.
The Central Railroad Company of New Jersey has recently spent
large sums, both in this City and Jersey City, in the improvement of its
terminal facilities, etc. Its new train shed at the latter place, recently
completed, is an immense structure, being 512 feet long, 215 feet wide
and 70 feet in height.
The Long Island R. R. Co. has also been forced to accommodate it-
Long Island City (Hunters Point) a magnificent depot which has but
few equals. Its exterior dimensions are 105x215 feet and its cost over
$100,000.
There are seventeen lines of railroads running from the City through the
suburban districts, the travel upon which is enormous. It is estimated that
54,000 commuters, living within a distance of 20 miles from the City,
regularly travel on these lines. This amount of travel requires the
constant service of 800 cars and 160 locomotives. The average

CLUBS.
A distinguishing feature of the city's social life is strikingly illustrated
in the number of its clubs and the luxuriousness of their surroundings.
In this respect New York City stands preeminent, not even excepting the
establishments of the older European cities. It is conservatively esti-
mated that the value of the leading club plants of the city will exceed
$25,000,000. The following list includes the names and addresses of all
the leading clubs, and some which may not be rated as first class, but
there are thousands of clubs, so called, representing various social, in-
dustrial and political organizations, which do not appear here.

earth. The Niagara River, extending from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, a
distance of thirty miles, forms the outlets of Lakes Superior, Michigan,
Huron and Erie. The total fall of the river is three hundred and thirty-
four feet, the greater part of the descent being confined within a distance
of seven or eight miles. The rapids are so strong two miles above the
falls as to entirely prevent navigation. There are three distinct cataracts
The Horseshoe Falls, so called from its crescent shape, is by far the
largest, and is in the direct course of the river ; it is two thousand feet
wide and one hundred and fifty-four feet high. The American Fall is six
hundred and sixty feet wide, and the Central Fall two hundred and
forty-three feet, each having a fall of one hundred and sixty-three feet.
In 1885 the State of New York acquired by purchase all the property
on the American side adjacent to the falls, including Prospect Park, and
