A tour around New York, and My summer acre; being the recreations of MrFelix Oldboy . the Park Commissioners will preserve this ancientstructure, erected in 1748, which vividly recalls thedays when it was an outpost in the Neutral Ground, and was occupied alternately by Hessian videttes andpatriot scouts, from whose doors Washington salliedforth in full uniform when he began his triumphalmarch to New York on Evacuation Day, 1783. Comparatively little business was done on the eastside of Broadway below the City Hall Park when Ifirst began to observe that locality as a boy. Therewere many boarding-houses there, occupying what hadbeen the stately homes of the Lows, Hamiltons, Dela-fields, Livingstons, Ludlows, Le Roys, Hoffmans, andColdens. There were several hotels there also, theHoward, Tremont, and National. But that side ofthe street was immortal among boys as containingBarnums American Museum, and close by was thestore of John N. Genin, the hatter, who made himselffame and fortune by bidding off at a high premiumthe first seat sold for the first concert given by Jenny. VIEW IN NEW YORK, 1769 Lind.

Stewart ofhis day, opened on the place occupied afterwards byBarnums Museum, and of its removal to a largerbuilding on the site of the Astor House, where allthe ladies in town went to do their shopping. Butwhat are dry goods in comparison with the perennialpleasures of the museum, where I am certain that Ihad carefully investigated every article on exhibition A TOUR AROUND NEW YORK 49 many score of times, and had no more doubt of theauthenticity of the club that killed Captain Cook (de-stroyed by fire when the museum was burned, butrisen again, like the Phoenix, from its own ashes andstill on exhibition) than I had of the doctrines con-tained in the Church Catechism ? I liked also to visitPeales Museum, on Broadway, opposite the City HallPark, but not so well as the temple of curiosities
