It lies 110 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi River, and comprises the entire Parish of Orleans, with an area of 1961/4 square miles. It has a harbor ranging in depth from over 200 to 3.5 feet, thirty miles of wharves, a part of which are covered by municipally owned, modern steel sheds, and a public belt railroad, which, free of charge transfers commodities to and from the railroads. It is the largest coffee, banana, sugar, cotton, rice, nitrate, cigar, cigarette, sulphur and salt market in the United States, and, by reason of its geographical location, enjoys unusual rail and ocean transportation facilities. Its population is principally American, with a large number of French-speaking inhabitants — the Creoles of Louisiana, who live, for the most part, in that section lying below Canal Street, known as the French, or Creole quarter.

Socially, New Orleans is delightful; and, by reason of this, and her historic interest, cosmopolitanism, foreign characteristics, her famous cuisine, her JNIardi Gras and manifold amusements, New Orleans is known as the "Winter Capital of America." Motor- boating and yachting on Lake Pontchartrain may be enjoyed all- year-around, due to the open winters; and in summer-time Xew Orleans is cooler than New York, Chicago and many of the large cities far to the North. This is due to being surrounded by rivers and large lakes, and the near jn'oximity of the Gulf of ^Mexico to the southward, and the prevailing breezes in summer-time being from that quarter. Within less than two hours by rail from New Orleans one can enjoy salt-water bathing in Mississippi Sound, this beautiful stretch of coast, from a few miles east of Xew Orleans to Mobile, Alabama, being known as the "Riviera of America," and is filled with Northern sojoiu-ners in the winter-time, and New Orleans residents in the summer. Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, MississipjDi City, Long Beach, Ocean Springs, Gulfport, Biloxi, Scranton and Pascagoula are the most noted of these coast resorts. From the standpoint of the epicure, New Orleans is the one bright spot on American soil. Her cooks, descended of the best of their kind in France and Spain, and taking on the added art of the Creole, produce viands which have created for this city a reputation at home and abroad. Shrimp, both river and lake, crayfish, crabs and oysters are among the sj^ecialties of New Orleans sea foods. It might be added that New Orleans is the largest oyster market in the world, and one of the largest fish markets in the United States, while the huntsman and fisherman are offered the rarest sport in the bayous and marshes of the country immediately adjacent and within forty minutes' ride.

CASANAS, President >rew Orleans, by reason of its open winters, is the place par excellence for outdoor sports, and is abundantly equipped for the enjoyment of such votaries. There are two golf clubs, several tennis clubs, numerous rowing clubs, splendid yacht clubs for both sailing and motor-boating, an automobile club, baseball and football, basket- ball, track and field sports, a polo club, athletic clubs, with salt-water plunge baths. The visitoi- is hospitably entertained, and some friend may always be had to obtain privileges of the private clubs. Xowhere else in America are the disciples of Izaak Walton and Nimrod likely to find the peculiar comliination of advantages possessed by the immediate vicinity of New Orleans for fishing and hunting. The hundreds of lakes, bays, bayous, lagoons and streams of fresh or salt water surrounding the city off'er the rarest sport for the duck hunter in winter-time, and either fresh or deep-sea fishing may be had. Wild turkey, quail, doves, snipe, plover, papabotte, geese and the mallard, teal, spoonbill, pin tail, canvasback, redhead, ringed-neck and other varieties of duck abound in great numbers. There are innumerable private or public clubs wdiich afford entertain- ment and facilities for the visitor, and the exhilarating sport of hooking the great fighting tarpon, jackfish and "leaping" shark is found all along the Mississippi Sound, or nearer in the passes between the lakes and the Sound. Big game, such as bear, deer, panther, "bob-cats," as well as opossums, raccoons, rabbits and squirrels, may be had, and even an occasional alligator. In a ride of less than one hour from New Orleans the visitor is in a sports- man's paradise. Speckled and green trout, sheepshead, pompano, buffalo, sunfish, redfish, red snapper, drum, black and striped bass, Spanish mackerel, perch and croakers abound everywhere. Much of this sport can be obtained at the very city limits of New Orleans (for the parish and the city are one and the same), making New Orleans literally a sportsman's INIecca and metropolis. DYERS CLEANERS 'Phone: Main 22\-211-llZ Baronne Street, Corner Julia NEW ORLEANS To the visitor the French Quarter is naturally the most interest- ing. The old (quarter is bounded by the river. Canal and Rampart Streets, and Esplanade Avenue, and liere are to be found the quaint and massive old French and Spanish houses, the wide, ])aved court- yards with tropical vegetation and dowers, the antique stores, famous restaurants, quaint shops possessed by quaint people, nearly all speaking the French language in i^reference to English. Canal Sti'eet is the dividing line between the French and American Quarters. The French is "downtown" — to the north. This is due to the fact that the JNIississippi River, as it passes the head of Canal Street, flows directly north. Hence the residents sjjeak of "uptown" and "downtown" instead of north and south — a point well worth remembering in going about the city. In the French Quarter ai'e located the greater portion of the historical buildings and sites which are enunaerated elsewhere. The young French colony of New Orleans attracted many of the foremost families of France, and they brought with them thousands of articles of art, virtu and embellishment of the nobles and their follow^ers, who sought fame and additional riches in the land of the Mexican Gulf. It is in the quaint old French portion of the city that the new- comer naturally seeks the shops of the dealers in odd things, and it is here that they are found. Not numerous, the supply being small and the antiques real, for there is no factory making New Orleans antiques. These shops may be found in Royal, Boiu'bon and Chartres Streets, in the vicinity of Canal Street. OI.l) I'KKNCII MAliKI/r Main 1121 This Book is a Specimen of Our Work SEARCY & PFAFF, Ltd.

The huge water- filtration plant gives to the residents a crystal, soft and wholesome water. The drainage system has dried out the surface soil, and huge skyscrapers with deep cellars are to-day standing in New Orleans. The waterworks plant, one of the best in the United States, is the largest of its type in the world. It comprises a system of sedi- mentation, coagulation and filtration through American rapid filtra- tion system. There are two pumping stations of 80,000,0C0 gallons capacity per day, with an average pressure of 75 pounds, and a maximum of 100 poimds, while across the river there is a 4,000-gallon miniatiu-e independent system. There are 500 miles of distribution mains and pipes, and active filtration was begun February, 1909. The cost of the waterworks and filtration plant is $7,000,000. The sewerage system has been in operation since October, 19C5, and of the 375 miles projected 305 are completed. There are two main jjumping stations and five sub-stations. The cost when com- pleted will be $5,500,000. The drainage plant of New Orleans was put into operation in January, 1900, and when completed will cost $15,000,000. The area ch-ained is from tlie ^Nlississijjpi River to Lake Pontchartrain, and from the upper protection levee to the lower parish line. There is a central power plant generating electricity for the operation of seven jjumping stations. There are 103 miles of canals, twenty- tliree miles of tide-level out-fall canals, and eighty miles of low-level canals. Of tlie latter, twenty miles are masonry-lined, five miles are wood-lined, remainder being open excavations. The latter will eventually be masonry-lined, and in the built-up areas will be covered. A total of 45 per cent, of the drainage work has been completed. m;\\ oki.i.a-Ns w AiiK-i ii.tration plant CJje ^t. Cljarlcs NEW ORLEANS, LA. HE St. Charles has heeu numbered among the world's noted hostelries for almost one hundred years. Xew Orleans boasted of its St. Charles Hotel as early as 1834, and with good reason, for at that time there was jirobably not its equal anywhere on the American continent. Replete with historic interest, it has housed many of the most famous men of the century, and its corridors contain to-day many pictures of men and events that bring to mind the stirring times of old New Orleans. Charles Dickens made the St. Charles his stopping place while on his celebrated tour of America. Oakey Hall, Mayor of Xew York City during the epoch of its greatest prosperity, visiting Xew Orleans in '54, said of the St. Charles: "Set the St. Charles down in St. Petersburg and you would think it a palace; in Boston, and ten to one j^ou would christen it a college; in London, and it would marvelouslv remind you of an Exchange; in X^cav Orleans it is all three." Xor was Oakev Hall the only visitor who broke out into such warm, enthusiastic and rapturous admiration of the St. Charles. Eady Wortley, an English lady, who had "done" Europe thoroughly, and was 'in search of something new and startling in America, pronounced the St. Charles a superb edifice, very similar to St. Peter's at Rome, and jjraised its "imniense dome and Corinthian portico" as the finest piece of architecture she had ever seen anvwhere in the world.

CARNIVAI, PARADE PASSING ST. CHARLES HOTEL To the average visitor "New Orleans" means "Mardi Gras." Mardi Gras is the French expression for Shrove Tuesday, which being the day preceding Ash Wednesday, or the beginning of Lent, makes it easy to follow the analogy of its literal translation — Mardi, Tuesday, and gras, fat — when the further fact is considered that, in its application, it also stands for the last day of the "Carnival"; tlie latter signifying, in this same connection, "farewell to flesh meat," and finding expression in gala days of revelry. Connnon usage in the case of the Mardi Gras at New Orleans has somewhat broadened its original application, so that, to at least the layman, it is synonymous with Carnival, except that there is always the Mardi Gras Day, which is not only the last day of ths so-called Carnival week, but the great day of them all. In it are culminated the grandest efforts, and the entire day is given up to a continuous round of gay pageants, masking and merrymaking, feasting and terpsichorean assemblies. The mainsprings of activity of the Carnival festivities are the secret societies organized for the sole purpose of celebrating the pre-Lenten period. The names of the principal of these societies are numerous, and of them Rex, Proteus, Comus and ^Nlonuis are the four great organizations. The other mystic organizations are Twelfth Night Revelers, Amphyctyons, Krewe of Nereus, Olym- pians, Falstaffians, High Priests of INIithras, Elves of Oberon and Atlanteans. Thi-oughout these societies there runs a wonderful system of organization, as complete as that of a well-disciplined armj'.

This handsome structure of classic beauty stands in the City Park and is reached by a superb avenue of Palms. Mounting a broad terrace, the visitor enters a central statuary hall i(f niliniiable proportions. To the left a large room is set apart for the collection nf iiirtiires, ceramics and furniture that were bequeathed to the museum by the late Isaac Delgado, to whose munificence the city owes the museum building and forms the nucleus for a permanent collection. The first acquisition of signal importance was a group of jades and other semi-precious stones bequeathed to the institution by the late Morgan Whitney and which constitute one of the finest collections of such work in America. Then came the Hyams Collection of paintings and objects of Art which at once became the central feature of the museum's treasures. These works were given by the late Mrs. Chapman H. Hyams and are shown in a room especially designed and decorated to receive them. Corot, Diaz, Schreyer, Harpignies, Bonheur. Bouguereau, Ziem, Alma Tadema and many other famous Artists are represented in the collection which is worthy of any museum, and which so eloquently attests Mrs. Hyams' fine taste and careful .selection. Another gift of importance was the Lacosst collection of Marble, Wood and Bronze. The Museum has been the recipient of many donations from individuals and from leading art clubs of the City, and throughout the year one will find in its galleries loan collections and special exhibitions that keep the display ever varied and interesting. At present there are shown superb works from the collections of Mrs. George Q. Whitney and of Mr. J. K.

Universal transfers, except between Belt, West End and Si:)anish Fort Lines.) The Esplanade Belt runs along Canal Street to Rampart, turning into North Rampart until Esplanade Avenue is reached; out Esplanade until Bayou St. John is crossed, then along City Park to Canal, and Canal back to the city. In this ride can be seen the aristocratic streets and avenues of the latter Creole days, with manj- handsome residences and spacious grounds. Along this route the Fair Grounds and Race Track can be reached; also the famous Jockey Club, which is now a residence park and dwelling. Over the bridge of the old Bayou St. John the car passes by the Beauregard Monument, then the beautiful oaks of the City Park can be seen, stately and grand, with tufts of gray moss hanging from their enormous branches and covering over eighty acres of the park. The car soon reaches the various cemeteries, then turning into Canal Street, lands one in the heart of the city after an hour's most interesting ride. The Canal Belt traverses the same route in the opposite direction.
