 ROCHESTER 
 
 ROCHESTER, with a population of one hundred and fifty thousand, is situated on both side* 
 
 of the Genesee River, seven miles from Lake Ontario. 
 
 Near the middle of the city the river forms a perpendicular fall one hundred feet high. It also forms 
 
 two other falls to the north within the city limits, the Middle Fall, twenty-five feet high, and the Lower 
 
 Fall, eighty-five f^et high. Main Street crosses the river by a concealed bridge lined on both sides with houses in the 
 
 style of the Old London Bridge and the " Ponte Vecchio " of Florence. No bridge of this kind exists elsewhere in 
 
 America. Near this bridge the Erie Canal is conducted over the river by an aqueduct eight hundred and fifty feet long 
 
 and forty-five feet wide, which is a wonderful piece of engineering. A fine view of the citv may be obtained from 
 
 the tower of the Powers Building, two hundred and four feet high. Rochester is the third city in size in New York 
 
 State and probably has more varied industries than any city in the world. It leads the world in the manufacture of 
 
 photographic materials and cameras, and it was here the word "Kodak" was coined and made a familiar term wherever 
 
 the English language is spoken. Rochester is the third city in the L'nited States in the manufacture of clothing, the 
 
 number of factories being thirty-seven and the annual output about $10,000,000. 
 
 Among the various points of interest in Rochester may be mentioned the University of Rochester, with its fine 
 geological collection, the City Hall near West Main Street, with a tower one hundred and seventv-fivc feet high, the 
 Statue of Frederick Douglass, the negro statesman, erected by Stanley W. Edwards in 1898, the numerous flour mills 
 and breweries and the extensive nurseries on the outskirts of the city. 
 
 Rochester is exceptionally favored in the matter of public parks and pleasure resorts, such as Highland Park, Seneca 
 Park, Genesee Valley Park and numerous others. Ontario Beach, situated on Lake Ontario, about seven miles from the 
 city, affords excellent bathing and has first-class hotel accommodations.
