PREFATORY. 
 
 I have the pleasure of presenting to my patrons and 
 the public the first issue of Thompson's Hotel Direc- 
 tory and Travelers' Guide. 
 
 It was commenced about six; months ago, and has been 
 pushed forward as rapidly as the magnitude of the un- 
 dertaking would permit. No one who is not familiar 
 with similar works can conceive of the amount of labor 
 and the great expense attached to such a publication. 
 
 The plan and arrangement is entirely original, and it 
 is to-day the only work of its kind. In compiling it, great 
 care has been taken to make it as plain as possible, so 
 that the information it contains can be seen at a glance, 
 and be easily referred to. 
 
 My long experience as a publisher and past success has 
 enabled me to present such a valuable book, and I trust 
 that it will meet with the approval and success it justly 
 merits. I thank my many patrons for the great encour- 
 agement given me, and trust the work will meet with 
 your approval. 
 
 Finally, I call special notice to the Advertising Di- 
 rectory and Buyer's Guide '' department," where are 
 represented many of the largest manufacturers and busi- 
 ness firms in the United States.

 ire Sauce. 
 
 Mannf red and Bottled in England. 
 
 In England there are many brands 
 of Worcestershire Sauce, and none 
 stand higher than Mac TJrquarht's, 
 as it it one of the oldest and best 
 known Sauces throughout England 
 and her Colonies. It is pronounced 
 by connoisseurs superior in every 
 respect to any Sauce offered, and is 
 rapidly usurping the market in the 
 United States. 
 
 The following certificate from one 
 of the best known English Chem- 
 ists sufficiently proves that it is per- 
 fectly pure and wholesome : 
 
 ''The condiment's and materials 
 used in Messrs. Mac Urquarht 
 & Co.'s Worcestershire Sause are 
 perfectly pure and of exceptional 
 quality, and the sauce is entirely 
 free from mineral or other noxious 
 ingredients." 
 
 "Benj. '.nickels, F.C.S., F.I.C., 
 
 "Analytical and Technical Chemist, 
 London, England." 
 
 From a comparison of the prices MAC TJRQUARHT'S is some 20 
 per cent, cheaper than Lee & Perrin's. 
 
 Leading Hotels and Restaurants in New York City — a class of 
 trade that always demand the best of everything — now use Mac Ur- 
 quarht's Sauce. Why can't you ? 
 
 We invite a trial order from the trade generally.

 0*° H E charming climate of Long Beach, its cool breezes, the absence 
 %£* of mosquitoes and the ordinary plagues of summer watering 
 places, its easy accessibility to New York, and the class of people 
 that has already contributed to its character— all these have estab- 
 lished it as the 
 
 First of all Resorts on the Atlantic Coast. 
 
 The natural conditions, the toppgraphy of the Beach and the tidal 
 flow, has made the location without a rival in a sanitary point of view. 
 The climate is a specific for hay fever, and for all such stubborn 
 ailments. 
 
 It is now conceded that there is no such bathing beach anywhere 
 on the sea coast as at Long Beach. We are pleased to announce to 
 the children that the inlet for still-water bathing is forming for the 
 season of 1885. The fishing for the last two seasons has been better 
 here than at any other point on the Long Island coast. Boats for row- 
 ing, sailing and blue fishing will be provided ; and all the diversions 
 for which the south side of Long Island is celebrated will be enjoyed 
 this summer in the fullest degree by the guests at the LONG BEACH 
 HOTEL. 
 
 The best Musical Talent has been engaged. 
 
 Frequent and Fast Trains, through from Hunter's Point and 
 Brooklyn, will be run by the Long Island Railroad, making the time 
 to the Beach in forty-five minutes, with no change of cars.

^Fh§u3aRd Island H§u3e, 
 
 ^ ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, 3^ 
 
 The Thousand Island House is situated at Alexandria Bay, 
 directly on the famous and historic river St. Lawrence — its scenery is 
 absolutely unequaled. It has become a well-noted fact that there is 
 actually no other region of resort in America combining so many at- 
 tractive elements in Summer-time as the grand archipelago called the 
 Thousand Islands, and drawing the line still closer, there is no other 
 place having so many attractions, all points considered, as the Thou- 
 sand Island House. 
 
 The grand and changeless St. Lawrence presents some features 
 which are unique. Being the outflow of the great inland seas, its 
 water is always perfectly pure. It is never subject to floods, and it 
 has been noted by observant visitors that in midsummer among the 
 Islands, and within a mile or so of the river, there is no dew at night 
 (the fact is explained in the same manner as the existence of the well- 
 known thermal belt along Niagara River). Malaria and hay fever 
 unknown here. 
 
 The prevailing winds during the summer season sweep down, 
 purified by their passage over the resinous Canadian forests, and over 
 the wide expanse of the lake, reaching the nostrils of the fortunate 
 guests — dry, bracing and cool ; thus with its fresh and exhilarating 
 atmosphere, the s alubrity of the climate, the superb quality of its 
 scenery, its attractions for angling and fishing, with boats of all kinds 
 for those who desire combined with the sumptuous accommodations 
 ot the Thousand Island House, make it the most delightful inland 
 resort in the northern regions of New York. 
 
 In fitting this house to suit the best custom of the country, 
 especial regard for the comfort of families has been considered, and in 
 its refitting, furnishing and all its details, it will be first-class. 
 
 A general reduction in prices for the»coming season, especially 
 during the months of June and September.

 General Sibley brought 2,500 prisoners to Mankato for 
 military trial. Of these, 303 were sentenced to death. 
 But President Lnicoln interceded, and after a personal 
 examination of all the testimony, ordered the sentence to 
 be carried out only in such instances as murder, aggrava- 
 ted by outrages on white women and children. In pur- 
 suance of this order, 37 of the condemed were hanged. 
 The execution took place December 19th, 1862, on a long 
 prairie ridge south-west of the town. All the gallows 
 were operated simultaneously by the pulling of a single 
 rope; a soldier, whose entire family had been murdered 
 by the savages, was executioner. Mankato has at pres-

 NEW YOEK CITY, N. Y. The chief city of the 
 United States and the Western Continent, is located at 
 the mouth of the Hudson Eiver, in the southern part of 
 the State of New York. The City Hall is in latitude 40° 
 42' 43 // N., longitude 74° '3" W., and the city occupies 
 the county of the same name. It covers the whole of 
 Manhattan Island and a portion of the mainland, and is 
 bounded on the south by New York Bay ; on the west by 
 the Hudson or North Eiver ; on the north by the city of 
 Yonkers and Westchester County, N. Y. ; on the east by 
 the river Bronx, that separates it from Westchester 
 County, and the East Eiver, a narrow, salt-water strait, 
 dividing it from Long Island. It also includes Randall's, 
 Ward's and Blackwell's Islands, in the East River ; and 
 Governor's Island, occupied by the U. S. Government ; 
 Bedloe's and Ellis' Islands, in the Bay. Spuyten Duyvil 
 Creek and Harlem River divide the city into two unequal 
 portions, and make the northern boundary of Manhattan 
 Island. The city is 16 miles long, and varies in width 
 from a few hundred yards to 4-j miles at the north part. 
 Its area is about 4H square miles, or 26,500 acres, of 
 which 12,100 are on the mainland. Its location is both 
 beautiful, healthful, and advantageous in a commercial 
 sense. Its commodious bay, the Hudson River, the neigh- 
 boring sea, and the diversified country about it, contri-

 bute to its attractiveness, while its varied surface and ex- 
 tensive water front conduce to its general healthfullness. 
 Its harbor gives ample and safe anchorage for large fleets, 
 and opens directly upon the Atlantic. Its position in 
 the center of the northern part of the coast makes it a na- 
 tural entrepot for the Middle States; and the Hudson 
 River, navigable for nearly 150 miles, places it in easy 
 communication with the interior. The Erie Canal and sev- 
 eral lines of railroads place the city in reach of the Great 
 West, and on the east, New England almost joins the city. 
 The State and City of New Jersey fringe the opposite 
 bank of the Hudson, and along the East River the City 
 of Brooklyn and its neighboring towns form a continuous 
 city upon its eastern side. From the Battery, at the 
 southern end of Manhattan Island, the view of the Bay, 
 the Islands, Brooklyn Heights, Staten Island, the Jersey 
 shore, Jersey City, and the entrance to the Hudson, pre- 
 sents one of the most animated and beautiful pictures to 
 be found. The upper part of the city lies opposite the 
 Palisades, and is remarkable for its rural and picturesque 
 scenery. Its topography is at once favorable for business 
 purposes and good drainage. The lower part of Man- 
 hattan Island, from the Battery north for about 3 j miles, 
 is rolling and sandy in character. It then rises slightly 
 and becomes very rocky. At Central Park, near the cen- 
 ter of the city, it rises into broken hills ; and northward, 
 along the river the land rises to a height of 238 feet at 
 Washington Heights. Above the Island, the land is hilly 
 and rough, with a great variety of scenery. The lower 
 part of the city has been much altered by filling and 
 grading, and the original width has been materially in- 
 creased by filling in the rivers on both sides. The city

 Central Park. This location is sometimes known as 
 Harlem and Yorkville, being the sites of those villages. 
 North of Harlem River are Mott Haven, Morrisania, 
 West Farms, North New York, Port Morris, Woodstock, 
 Highbridgeville, Claremont, Tremont, Mount Hope, 
 Mount Eden, Fairmount, Belmont, Fordham, and Wil- 
 liamsbridge. West of Central Park the population cen- 
 ters in the villages of Bloomingdale and Manhattanville. 
 North of these, along the Hudson, are Washington 
 Heights, Inwood, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Mosh- 
 olu, Riverdale, and Mount St. Vincent. All of these 
 places are now included in New York City. The ways of 
 approach to New York are numerous, since it is in com- 
 munication with all parts of the globe, either by sea or 
 railroad. From the sea it is approached from the south 
 by Sandy Hook through the Narrows, between Long 
 Island on the east, and Staten Island on the west, iuto 
 New York Bay, passing the great fortresses of Fort 
 Tompkins and Fort Richmond on the west, or Staten 
 Island shore and Fort Hamilton on the east, or Long 
 Island shore, while old Fort Lafayette, of the "Great 
 Rebellion " celebrity, stands in the bay, a short distance 
 from the shore. At the confluence of the East and Hud- 
 son Rivers is Governor's Island, distinguished by the 
 circular fortress on its northern shore. The Hamburg 
 and German lines of steamers land their passengers at 
 Hoboken ; while the Cunard, Inman, White Star, Anchor, 
 National and French lines discharge theirs at different 
 piers on the Hudson River, or west side of the city. 
 There is another channel of approach from the sea 
 through the Kills, between Staten Island, on the New

 Is four pieces of hard rubber : (i) the Cap which covers 
 and protects thepen^in the pocket; (2) the Handle.which 
 holds the ink; (3) the Point-section, which takes the 
 pen ; and (4) the Feed-bar, which holds the pen in its 
 place and carries the ink from the reservoir to the pen, 
 using the same principle (capillary attraction), by a 
 similar construction (a split of fissures), that the pen 
 uses in conducting the ink to the paper, and is equally 
 as certain. 
 
 The act of writing regulates the flow of ink, which 
 is as free as from a dip pen, and more uniform. 
 
 It takes the ordinary gold or steel pens. 
 
 Your favorite pen can be used, and the character of 
 your handwriting will be preserved. 
 
 It is the simplest, cleanest, readiest and most easily 
 managed of all the fountain pens. 
 
 It has no machinery to be regulated. 
 
 When the cap is removed the pen is ready to write ; 
 when the writing is done the cap can be replaced and 
 it is ready for the pocket. 
 
 It uses any ink, and holds enough to write contin- 
 ously from 10 to 25 hours. 
 
 There are several sizes for the pocket and the desk.

 With each pen is given a certificate which warrants 
 the holder for five years, and guarantees it to give 
 satisfaction or the money will be refunded. It also con- 
 tains a license under the patent which protects the 
 user from all claims for infringements. 
 
 All people are cautioned against buying or using 
 similar pens without getting therewith a license under 
 the patent.
