CONEY ISLAND SOUVENIR. 
 
 ^p^ few years ago Coney Island was a low 
 - gffl^waste of sand, renowned for its cooling 
 ^ breezes, but sought out by comparatively few 
 ' people during the heated term to bathe or fish. 
 To-day, Coney Island is one of the finest sum- 
 mer resorts on the Continent. 
 
 The Souvenir purposes to point out briefly, 
 yet accurately, the various means of reaching 
 the Beach, the time necessarily consumed, and 
 where to go after you get there, and, crowning 
 the whole, a correct and complete map of the 
 / Island, showing every place of interest and 
 ' importance from Norton's Point to Sheepshead 
 Bay. This information is given in the interest 
 of the great public exclusively, and no misrep- 
 resentation will be permitted in any case. 
 
 A glance through its pages will convince any 
 one that the book is a trustworthy encyclope- 
 dia of all the routes to the various Beaches, 
 (including time of arrival and departure of all 
 trains and boats to and from Coney Island), to- 
 gether with the best places, only, ©f resort. 
 
 Our advertisers are of the best class only, 
 old established and thoroughly trustworthy 
 houses. 
 
 In conclusion, we bespeak for the SouvENrR 
 your kind indulgence, good wishes, best help.

 A QUAINT EXTEMPORE POEM ON CONEY ISUND. 
 
 By Wm. Wilson, Brooklyn, 
 
 |ONE and forever are the whoops of 
 Canarsiee, 
 No more doth the brushwood conceal the 
 dark foe, 
 No more do the Rockaways hunt through the 
 
 cedars 
 Which lined the broad beach stretching out to 
 the sea. 
 
 Gone are the vineyards and the surf-sprinkled 
 
 plum trees 
 Which lured to Manhattan young Hudson the 
 brave, 
 
 ! No more do we barter the skins of our Island 
 I As did the wild Indian who dwelt on our shores. 
 
 i When the Hidf Moon bore down on the white 
 sands of Coney 
 The wild wolf was heard through the tall pointed 
 pines, 
 
 I While out through the surf came the clamoring 
 I natives 
 
 To meet the brave crew as they rowed for the 
 shore. 
 
CONEY ISLAND SOUVENIK. 
 
 Their powwows they raised to the spirit of evil. 
 
 And offered the wampum surrounding their 
 bodies 
 
 For beads and for trinkets the white men pre- 
 sented, 
 
 And friendship cemented the hour of their land- 
 ing. 
 
 i^own through the decades hath jjassed the 
 
 strange story 
 Which gave to the river surrounding Manhattan 
 A name that 'midst nations is spoken with pride 
 And hailed as the conduit of ne'er dying freedom. 
 
 Cojumbus, the Spaniard, in the height of his 
 
 prowess 
 Ne'er dreamed that the fleets of the world would 
 
 be anchored 
 Breabt deep on the waters which Hudson since 
 
 named, 
 "While up through Gowanus his Dutch ship was, 
 
 steered. 
 
 When they gazed on the woods of Ihe high Ih- 
 
 petonga, 
 Which towered o'er the stream in the front of 
 
 Manhattan, 
 While sported the savage his tree-formed canoe. 
 Fresh freighted with furs from the wolf and the 
 
 beaver. 
 
COJNliY ISLAIMJJ SOUVKINIK. 
 
 The glass beads of Amsterdam paid for the 
 
 treasures 
 For which the wild savage had toiled through 
 
 the season, 
 Yet happy was he the bright gewgaws to gather, 
 And gave for the baubles the fruits of his labor. 
 
 But changed is the scene since the advent of 
 
 Hudson, 
 For the hands of the white man have levelled the 
 
 woodlands. 
 And the dusky-browed savage has gone to his 
 
 fathers 
 And left Ihpetonga the queen of the ocean. 
 
 The wigwams were cleared for the homes of the 
 white man, 
 
 The loom took the place of the bow and the 
 arrow, 
 
 The axe .and the .adze then fashioned the tim- 
 bers 
 
 And ])uilt the proud ships which were launched 
 on our waters. 
 
 No more o'er the woodlands or down by the 
 
 river. 
 Where proud Ihpetonga has lifted her head, 
 I )0 we hear the wild whoop of the red-painted 
 
 Indian, 
 And the howl of the wolf in the forest is ended.

 And pass the hot months 'midst the spray of its

 What is a Camera Obscura ? is often asked. 
 Imagine yourself in a darkened room with mir- 
 rors placed in such a position in the roof that all 
 surrounding objects within range of the mirrors 
 are reflected by their aid on a white movable 
 disk in the centre of the darkened room. 
 
 Not only are the landscape and figures repre- 
 sented in their proper colors, but the motions of 
 aJl objects are exquisitely rendered. The move- 
 men^ts of the leaves of trees, children walking or 
 running, horses and carriages moving, men at 
 leisure or work, surf dashing on the Beach, bath- 
 ers in their gambols, clouds changing as in na- 
 ture — in short, nature's penciling of scenes which 
 can only be reflected by mirrors. Professor 
 Janton is sole proprietor of both Camera Ob- 
 scuras at this place and at Prospect Park, Brook-

 THE BROOKLYN, FLATBUSH & CONEY 
 ISLAND RAILROAD. 
 
 The depot of the Brooklyn, Flatbush and 
 Coney Island Railroad is located at the junction 
 of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues and adjoining 
 the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, being the most 
 centrally located of all the Coney Island rail- 
 roads, and is connected by horse cars to Fulton, 
 Wall and South Ferries. On ordinary summer 
 days thirty-three trains per day, each way, are 
 run on this road. The ordinary interval between 
 trains is half an hour, except on holidays and 
 nights when fireworks are exhibited at the Beach, 
 the headway being frequently reduced to fifteen 
 and even ten minutes. It is well known that this 
 road is, in proportion to the ground it covers, 
 one of the costliest in the United States, having 
 cost, including the magnificent hotel at Brighton 
 Beach, about one and a half million dollars. The 
 cars are of the finest material and finish that run 
 to the Beach and rarely, if ever, a second behind 
 time. Full summer time table will be found in 
 connection with this.

 The season of i88 opens grandly at Coney 
 Island. No labor or expense has been spared 
 by the managers of the railroads, of the great 
 hotels, of the bathing pavilions, of the palace 
 steamers, and of the restaurants and other places 
 of resort and amusement to increase the facili- 
 ties for reaching, and the accommodations at, 
 this unsurpassable summer resort. The bathing 
 is so enjoyable and so convenient that one may 
 attend to his business in store or office or her 
 business at store or home until tea time and then 
 go to Coney Island and have all the pleasure 
 and see all the sights that one can see at any 
 pleasure resort in the world, take a bath, have 
 the world pass in review before him or her in 
 gorgeous turnouts and resplendent apparel, with 
 the witchery of the finest music to add zest to 
 the enjoyment, and get back home at a good bed- 
 time unless one should be tempted to remain and 
 enjoy the hospitality of the hugest and most hos- 
 pitable and inviting of caravanserais. 
 
 Many Brooklyn people will avail themselves of 
 the steamboats to visit the island during tlie 
 heated term. We give all the details they need 
 for that purpose also.

 are necessarily in the city at any time during the 
 hot season, with or without their families, and 
 tourists from abroad, unaccustomed to the fervent 
 heat of American summers, will here find a cool 
 and salubrious retreat, free from noise and dust, 
 and with a temperature averaging ten degrees 
 lower than that of the city. 
 
 Residents of New York and Brooklyn who 
 have, as a choice of evils, sent their families to 
 some distant point for the summer months, can 
 avoid that separation, and enjoy at Coney Island 
 all the advantages of city, country, and seaside 
 combined. 
 
 HEALTHFULNESS — BATHING. 
 
 As a tonic and restorative for energies impair- 
 ed by overwork or illness or by close confine- 
 ment, surely the best and cheapest medicine is 
 the sea air and sea bathing. For the latter, no 
 better facilities can be found or desired than are 
 here provided. 
 
 Comparatively few people are aware ot the 
 magnitude and magnificence of the late improve- 
 ments which have changed the character as well 
 as the name of Coney Island, and none who have 
 failed to visit Manhattan, Brighton and West 
 Brighton Beaches, as the subdivisions ot the 
 Island are now called, can comprehend the 
 changes made from any ordinary description, but 
 the reader will find interesting and entertaining

 RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF CONEY 
 ISLAND. 
 
 The true history of the later develo])menl of 
 Coney Island as a watering place and seaside re- 
 sort for the metropolis would be a strange ro- 
 mance, and probably it will have a stranger sequel 
 in the next few years. Nothing more remark- 
 able in the way of sudden prosperity and popu- 
 larity, after long neglect and continued disfavor, 
 is known in the history of any like enterprise. 
 Within less than thirteen years four miles of the 
 Coney Island beach was a barren waste, to which 
 nobody claimed title, and which few people ever 
 visited. Part of it was so desolate that few per- 
 sons ever ventured to penetrate the wilderness. 
 It was given up to "clammers" and "crabbers," 
 as the fishermen who lived back in the swamps 
 of the creek which divided it from the main land 
 of Long Island were called. At the extreme west

 end a small pavilion and a few bath-houses ex- 
 isted, and a little further east there was a small 
 hotel, set far inland, at which an invalid or two 
 could half live, half starve. To the west end a 
 single dilapidated steamboat, which did duty most 
 of the year as a tug-boat, and sometimes con- 
 descended to the ignominy of labor as a lighter, 
 made a morning and afternoon trip during the 
 summer months, but the character of the per- 
 sons availing themselves of this means of reach- 
 ing the surf was such that decent and quiet 
 folks, v/ho did not court insult and wished to 
 avoid robbery and riot, shunned the route. A 
 railroad track built to connect Bath, New 
 Utrecht and other little towns along the bay coast 
 v^ith Brooklyn, was extended to a point near the 
 centre of the island; but it had neither depot nor 
 hotel at its end, its trains ran no faster than a 
 street horse line, and it was patronized chiefly by 
 picnic parties. In fact, it is scarcely seven years 
 since legal requirements compelled this railway 
 company to drive a horse in front of its locomo- 
 tives, in order to comply with ordinances against 
 steam in the village streets. There was also a 
 horse railway to a part of the island still further 
 east, but it required at least four hours to go 
 from Fulton Ferry to the beach. On the whole 
 stretch of beach there was one hotel, where lodg- 
 ing might be had for about ten persons; the

 himself into numerous bands, and immense beds 
 of clams, cultivated in Gravesend Bay, are the 
 cause of breaches of the peace and of miniature 
 war itself, while the pursuit of the soft-shell crab 
 has become an organized industry. The four or 
 five pavilions have been multiplied until there are 
 nearly loo, each with its restaurant and bath 
 houses ; and the one family hotel, with its five 
 shabby rooms, has been replaced by twenty times 
 the number, four at least of which are as fine as 
 any to be seen at any sea beach resort in the 
 world, and the whole ot which are capable of 
 comfortably lodging 20,000 persons at night. It 
 is safe to say that not more than Jioo,ooo was

 lu returning thanks to our many patrons and further presentius 
 our services to them and the public, we simply say a constant and 
 busy practice in our profession for the past 20 years should be a 
 suflBcient guarantee of our ability to perform all dental oi)erationH, 
 both surgical and mechanical, in a Imost satisfactory manner. 
 
 Carefully note the following. 
 
 The usual price of extracting under Gas is $2 the first tooth au'l 
 $1 for every subsequent one, making a charge alone of $17 for 
 simply extracting the upper set of natural teeth ; whereas, in our 
 business,, we extract all the teeth that are to be extracted, making 
 no charge therfor, and besides furnishing an upper or under set of 
 the very best sets of plain and continuous gum sets of artificial 
 teeth from $10 to $20, and partial sets of one tooth or more in pro 
 portion, Avhich is, as observed, in reality giving the artificial sei 
 away; for both extracting and set (as we have shown) donotco:=t 
 aa much as the simple extraction of the diseased teeth alone. 
 
 We manufacture the Gas fresh daily, 
 
 Dr. G. Brockway a Co. have administered the gas for the past 
 20 years with uniform success;in which time thousands of diseased 
 and aching teeth have been removed by us from the mouths of 
 suflering humanity without causing the slightest p.uk or in- 
 convenience to the patient whatever. 
 
 Artificial Sets of Teeth 
 
 Besides manufacturing allkinds of Rubber and Coralite work, 
 we possess facilities (enjoyed by no other Dental establishment in 
 this city) for getting up the most perfect fitting plates on gold and 
 platina. 
 
 In respect to operations on the natural teeth, we promise to treat 
 them in the most correct and scientific manner.

 villages along his line, and the attractions of- 
 Coney Island were apparently not perceived by 
 him until late — in fact, too late for him to take 
 advantage of ihem. It was not until 1874 that 
 A. R. Culver, of Brooklyn, recognized that a road 
 admitting of the rapid transit of large numbers 
 to the beach would prove a paying enterprise. 
 Alone and almost unaided, jeered at forv/hatwas 
 considered the folly of building another railway 
 to a beach that already had one railway and a 
 horse car line that paid no dividends, he began 
 the construction of the Prospect Park and Coney 
 Island Road. Indifference to it v/as so great 
 that he could not get a permit to build within the 
 city line of Brooklyn. His own idea of the 
 scheme was simply that a rapid road to the island 
 would induce enough people to go there to make 
 the traffic alone pay. He did not contemplate 
 even a pavilion, much less a hotel, at the beach. 
 When the road was about to be opened he looked 
 about for a big tent to protect the guests invited 
 to the opening. Not finding one to suit he built 
 a pavilion, in which dinner was served. At once 
 the need of a hotel and restaurant became clearly 
 apparent, but the idea of building a family hotel, 
 for the accommodation of ladies as well as gen- 
 tlemen, was not even then thought of. It would 
 have been considered preposterous if suggested 
 that ladies or children could have been induced

 to dwell over night in this horrible and sandy and 
 solitary place. The result Avas that Cable's 
 Hotel was built for gentlemen only, and so ex- 
 isted till this season, when the expiring leases of 
 the numerous pavilion keepers in front of Cable's 
 gives Mr. Culver opportunity to build a magnifi- 
 cent family hotel around the Observatory, with 
 that unique structure as an elevator, not only to 
 view the island from, but to convey guests to 
 rooms on the fourth and fifth floors. The dream 
 of a seaside hotel five stories high is not at all 
 preposterous in view of what has been accom- 
 plished. 
 
 The first notion of a family hotel on a grand 
 scale was a Yankee notion. It was bred in the 
 brain of Austin Corbin, a banker, of No. 6i Broad- 
 way, and this was the manner of its begetting : — 
 He had an invalid son, to whom sea air during 
 the greater part of the year was pronounced ab- 
 solutely necessary. Certain family and business 
 reasons requiring his daily presence in New York 
 compelled Mr. Corbin to select Coney Island as 
 a seaside home, and so he moved with his son, 
 the rest of the family, his horses and carriages, to 
 the Oceanic House, the one small family hotel al- 
 luded to as in existence prior to 1874. In riding 
 and driving about the island Mr. Corbin discov- 
 ered the condition of the titles and leases of the 
 ground, and found that they could be easily

 bought up. About 1874 he discovered also the 
 bankrupt condition of the Bay Ridge and Jamaica 
 Railroad, and being asked for loans to the com- 
 pany made advances which were not repaid, and 
 thus he found himself in possession of dead prop- 
 erty. He then bethought himself of buying up 
 the Coney Island property, making the railroad 
 to Jamaica a road to the Beach, and of building 
 a niagnificent family hotel at its end. .Plis origi- 
 nal idea was a building to accommodate 700 
 guests and to cost $250,000, but after the con- 
 tract was drawn up and the j^lans made he 
 changed his mind (for the scheme was only an 
 experiment), and ordered plans and contracts for 
 the present temporary structure to accommodate 
 only 200 persons. The project of a larger hotel 
 has since been revived,, and doubtless additions 
 for the accommodation of three times the number 
 now lodged will be made at the close of the 
 season. In lieu of this, however, the company 
 may build, as projected, a large number of cot- 
 tages facing on Sheepshead Bay, in the rear of 
 and to the east of the hotel, for the accommoda- 
 tion of families. These would at once, provide 
 still water bathing, boating and fishing, in ad- 
 dition to the ocean and surf facilities, and add to 
 the seclusiveness which the company considers 
 the true basis of permanent prosperity. That the

 A RUNAWAY HORSE. 
 
 While bathing at Coney Island last week I met and was 
 recognized by an old friend, and so changed was he that 
 for some time I could not believe but that there was some 
 mistake until he reminded me of an occurrence when I 
 once saved his life (or at least from broken limbs) by 
 helping him out of the way of a runaway horse, when he 
 was so crippled with rheumatism that it was utterly im- 
 possible for him to help himself. It happened as fol- 
 lows: My friend had been crippled for three years with 
 rheumatism in the hips and knees, and could onlv move 
 around by the aid of crutches. On the day before uiention- 
 ed, he had with assistance just alighted from a DeKalb 
 Avenue horse car when a runaway horse came galloping 
 full speed down Fulton Street & into DeKalb Avenae. My 
 friend so terribly crippled could not possibly get out of 
 the way & was certainly in great danger. I being mus- 
 cular sprang forth and. seized him around the waist and 
 by great effort lifted him on one side, just as the fright 
 ened horse galloped past, and my friend was saved. 
 
 When I had fully recognized him, znj surprise was indeed great, 
 for instead of the man on crutches, he was skipping around in a 
 bathing suit and gallantly attending two lovely young ladies about 
 eighteen or twenty both blondes, I learned they were his nieces; his 
 rheumatism had entirely disappeaerd. I questioned him closely 
 and asked him what he had used to give such immediate and sur- 
 prising relief. He replied, I heard from a lady that had been cured 
 by David J. Cotter's Belt of Life and Electro Magnetic garments at 
 No. 80 Court street, Brooklyn, N. Y. I called upon him and his ex- 
 planation of the value of his improved Magnetic clothing over any- 
 thing of the kind ever offered to the public, satisfied me of its effi- 
 cacy; he also handed me many letters from physicians and others, 
 speaking of the benefits derived from the use of his Belt of Life, I 
 at once obtained the garments he advised and you see the result, 
 and what is better, he only asked me for one-half the purchase 
 money, allowing me to pay the balance when cured. Last 
 week I paid him, and at the same time took two of my relatives 
 with me, one suffering with asthma, the other with Indi- 
 gestion. They both i^urchased garments, and yesterday told me 
 that no money could tempt them to be without their goods. What is 
 most surprising to me, I can wear my set in the extreme heat and 
 feel perfectly cool, my relations also made note of that and I tell 
 you frankly I would not be without my belt of life for its weight 
 in ten dollar bills. As my freinds had the ladies to attend I left him; 
 this morning I called upon the relatives mentioned, and they en- 
 dorsed all he said. I also called upon Mrs. Ashforth of 192 Atlantic 
 Avenue, Brooklyn, who had been cured of a lame knee in three days 
 by use of knee cap; she was in raptures over the curative effects of 
 said goods, and had sent Mr. Cotter a splendid testimonial, which 
 he handed me to read among many others after he had explained 
 in a scientific manner the cause of disease and the effect produced 
 by his wonderful garments.

 multitude were inadequate appears from the fact 
 that after the first season in 1877 a pavilion ac- 
 commodating as many persons as the hotel itself 
 had to be built, and already it has been found 
 necessary to devote a wing of the amphitheatre in 
 the bath houses to the same purpose of dining 
 the occasional visitor. The Point Breeze pavil- 
 ion at the end of the Marine Railway has also 
 been added of necessity, and the Oriental Hotel, 
 added would appear to supply every 
 
 needed want. In fact, as Mr. Corbin says, no 
 man can foresee the developments of any one 
 year or tell when it will be necessary to devise 
 new accommodations for the thousands who ask 
 only the needful facilities of coming and going. 
 
 The Brighton Beach Hotel, with its surround- 
 ings, was the next advance made by the various 
 powers which control the Coney Island district. 
 The projectors saw the advantage of a hotel su- 
 perior in all its appointments to the existing ones 
 and a double advantage in a double track air- 
 line railway from the heart of Brooklyn. A mill- 
 ion and a half of dollars were invested in this en- 
 terprise by the Brooklyn, Flatbush ^nd Coney 
 Island Railroad Company, consisting of the lead- 
 ing men and eapitalists of Brooklyn, and the en- 
 tire work was constructed in three months. The 
 hotel has no superior in appointments on the At- 
 lantic coast, or at Newport or Saratoga, and the
