Pocket Cm- uide CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS The approach to a large city is readily discovered bv the traveler. In these days of railway travel, thous- ands of people engaged in business in the city, seek for homes in the suburbs, and the cleanliness and elegance of these retreats, indicating wealth, thrift and care, are the most striking evidences of the nearness of a flour- ishing city. Probably this is more the case with Cin- cinnati than with any other city in the world, as the ro- mantic beauty of her surrounding hills lend strong in- ducements for the location of elegant villas, and the beautiful dells and glens foster innumerable suburban homes. Travelers approaching Cincinnati from every direction soon discover this fact. The surest sign of 16 POCKET GUIDE TO ^HEAD^rARTRBS FOR ft Perfect-Fitting Boots & Shoes, FOR LADIES, GENTS, CHILDREN & BOYS. POTTERS SHOE STORE, 156 W. Fifth St., bet. Race and Elm, Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 17 approach to any large city is the appearance of the man whose cheerful cry of -Check your baggage" causes the experienced traveler to arouse himself ami search his pockets for trunk checks. The merry jingle of brass checks on a large ring suspended on the arm of the om- nibus "checkman" carries with it the pleasing convic- tion that a weary journey is rapidly drawing to a close. By a mutual agreement 'between the railroad and the Omnibus Company this "checkman" (being their only authorized agent.) will exchange checks with the traveler, and furnish him with an omnibus ticket for "Fifty Cents," which entitles him to a ride in the omnibus and the transfer of ordinary baggage, at the same time assuring him of the safest, speediest, and cheapest mode of transfer to any part of the city. The Cincinnati Omnibus Com]. any is the only organi- zation of the kind in the city and is both reliable and responsible. By purchasing a ticket (price Fifty Cents) of the "checkman," found on all trains, the traveler is saved from all trouble and annoyance in looking after his baggage on his arrival at the Depot, and is promptly transferred to any Hotel, Private Residence, or Public Landing in the city, and is consequently relieved of the violent importunities and gross outrages practiced by exorbitant and unprincipled Hackmen and Express- men in all large cities. There are street-car lines that pass in close, prox- m ity to all tbe depots, but these form a means of con- 18 POCKET GUIDE TO CINCINNATI R. R. OMNIBUS LINE AND BAGGAGE EXPRESS.

Jr., Superintendent. CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 19 veyance that a stranger can scarcely take advantage of on account of his lack of knowledge concerning streets and localities. Upon disembarking from the train the traveler had best proceed at once to the door, where the transfer omnibuses are to be found, avoiding persons of suspi- cious character who may offer advice or wish to lend their aid and applying to an omnibus driver for any in- formation desire^ Depots and Public Landings are alive with sharpers and confidence men who live by preying on the pockets of the unsuspecting and un- wary; therefore, we caution strangers against forming "pick-up" acquaintances and more particularly against lending or advancing money on representations that in- variably prove to be shams. Hold fast to your pocket- books and pay only for what you need and what you know without doubt to be genuine. Having confided your valuable person to the care of one of the Transfer Company's Omnibuses and been de- livered safe and sound at the hotel, your first duty is to register your name and take checks for your baggage. If you have much money about your person, place it in an envelope, leave it in the hotel safe and take a re- ceipt or check for* it. Then you are ready to take a room or indulge in a substantial meal. We will leave the traveler to enjoy either or both, as the case may be, and meet him again at the Post office, corner of Fourth and Yine Streets, for a stroll about town. CINCINNATI AND SUBUBBS. 21 The stranger should first know how Cincinnati is lo- cated as to the points of the compass and this is easily explained. We take our stand in front of the Post-of- fice, with that institution at our back. In that posi- tion our face is looking nearly due north. On our right is the East, on our left the West and at our back the South. Streets having numerical names run East and West and those with the names of trees or plants run North and South. Although all streets are not named in this manner there are enough to prove an excellent guide to the stranger in his rambles if he remember the above directions. As a matter of course the Fountain is the first object of interest to the stranger. Turning our faces North we proceed up Vine Street one block to Fifth. In Cincin- nati "up the street"' means going either North or East, and vice versa. These terms are arrived at from the fact that the Ohio River runs Westerly and ••going up the street*' is synonymous with"going.up the River,*" and going from the river, is practically •"going up the street."" Arriving at the corner of Vine and Fifth streets, the Fountain is in full view. Upon approaching it, the grand- eur of its proportions and the meaning of its numerous features make it a subject deserving of close study. It was presented to the city of Cincinnati jointly by Henry Probasco, Esq:, and the late Tyler Davidson. The total cost of the Esplanade and Fountain was $180.- 000. The dimensions of the Fountain are as follows: 22 POCKET GUIDE TO JEFFRAS, SEELEY & CO., 99 WEST FOURTH STREET, CINCINNATI.

Each hand of the Genius of Water is pierced by 438 holes through which jets of water pass. Large cooling chambers, containing 2,000 feet of coiled pipe and prepared to hold ice, are be- neath the drinking fountains. The bronze was obtained from cannon purchased by the builders from the Danish "government. The entire work was completed in Mu- nich, Bavaria, by Herr Ferdinand Von Muller and shipped to this country in packages, the builder and a company of his workmen accompanying it for the pur- pose of attending to its erection in this city. The design is an entirely original one and a very pleasing story is connected with it. Mr. Probasco had spent many months visiting all the places noted in Eu- rope for Art Culture and had well nigh given up the idea of a Fountain, no one having been able to furnish him with a design which he considered suitable. He visited Munich and called upon Herr Yon Muller, who is Director of the Royal Brass Foundry of Bavaria, and that gentleman presented innumerable plans and designs but nothing that met Mr. Probasco's views on the .sub- ject. Finally, in despair, Herr Von Muller remembered some old drawings laid away years ago as useless and caused them to be found. They proved to be exactly what Mr. Probasco desired, and having been slightly al- 24 POCKET GUIDB TO iOdNXATI WHOLESALE Straw, Silk & lUUinery Quods Eause JAS.D.SMITH&GO. 1SH RACK STREET. g^Sell at Lowest Market Price and till orders promptly. CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 2i> tered to more correctly represent American features, they were adopted, and found mould and shape in the Tyler Davidson Fountain. The origin of the drawing's is somewhat romantic and worth relating. Their author was August Von Kreling, a son-in-law of Kaulbach. Yon Kreling was seated in his drawing room in a drowsy, dreamy state. when, almost like a vision, the details of the Great Foun- tain iioated before his mind. With the vigor of sudden inspiration he drew a table up beside him and with won- derful rapidity penciled the outlines of tin; marvelous work of art on .the marble covering. Upon re- turning to full consciousness he regarded his work with no small degree of satisfaction and amazement and at once transferred the drawings to paper. They were shown to artist-companions who warmly applauded them. The details were carefully worked out and the design as completed presented to clowned heads and several distinguished nobles for practical use. As singular as it may seem the design failed to meet with approval and Von Kreling met only with rebuff wherever he presented it. Conscious of the fact that it was a great work and merited dis- tinguished recognition, it was with no little feeling <>f discouragement and disappointment that the designer pushed his work from him in disgust. Thus it was that the parchments were put away in some work- shop nook, and laid for years neglected and abandoned, accummulating dust and mould, and forgotten until "26 POCKET GUIDE TO E. T.

The figure with outstretched hands surmounting the fountain, represents the Genius of Water. On the- Eastern side above the upper basin a mother leads her child to the bath. Passing round to the North the next design represents a man standing o . the roof of a burn- ing house, his voice raised to heaven in prayer for rain to quench the devouring element. In the Western groupe we find the thirst of an aged, infirm traveler be- ing relieved by the touched sympathy of a maiden.. The last design of this grouping shows a discouVaged farmer whose tracts are fast going to ruin by a consum- ing drought. An idle plow is on one side, and a faithful canine on the other seeks relief by lapping the soil with his parched tongue. Around the base, in niches, the innocence of child- hood is made to represent the seasons, while between these the value of water to trade, commerce and manu- facture is vividly set forth in -basso relievo. The drink- ing fountains are no less a study than the rest of the- great work and show how perfectly the ideas of Von Kreling have been carried out. Proceeding with our friends to Walnut Street, one square Eist ®f Vine, we turn down that thoroughfare for a look at the river and the sights along the way. On the right of the first square we pass the new Gibson; 28 POCKET GUIDE TO House, one of the most popular hotels in the West, and directly opposite, the Mercantile library, containing- over 40,000 volumes - and keeping on file all the principal daily papers and publications of America and Europe. It is a membership concern, but strangers are always made welcome and courteously entertained. At the corner of Fourth and Walnut (standing in front of the Melodeon Hall, which is shortly to give [dace to an extension of the Gibson House) a tine view of the principal promenade thoroughfare (Fourth Street) of. Cincinnati is to be had. Pike's Opera House stands in the centre of the block on the South of your right hand, and directly opposite yon, in the corner of the same block, is the establishment of Duhme & Co., the largest diamond importing firm in the West. Up B^ourth street on your left is St. Paul's Episcopal church, a pretty stone edifice, clad in ivy. It is the only '''High Church'' in form of worship in Cincinnati, and possesses a fine choir. Passing to the opposite side of Fourth street, a view of the highest steeple in Cincinnati can be had. It belongs to the Firs! Presbyterian church, located on the North side of Fourth street, between Walnut and Main, and is 285 feet high, being ten feet m >re than Trinity church, New York. The Chamber of Commerce is three doors "West of this church. Continuing down Walnut street to Third, we arrive at he -Wall Street of Cincinnati.*' The business of the CINCINNATI A.ND SUBURBS. 29 .street is devoted principally to Banking, Brokerage and Insurance. The massive building on the North-east corner of Third and Walnut streets is the Masonic Tem- ple Its style of architecture is Elizabethan Gothic. The office of the famous Weekly Times is located on Third street between Walnut and V T ine, on the North side The Daily Times is the largest evening paper published in the city. Tle« next street we come to is Pearl, devoted chiefly to wholesale <\v\ goods, notions, hoots and shoes, and clothing. The business of the street is representative and involves a heavy capital. On Main Street, the next Kast of Walnut, a few doors below Pearl, a very interesting flood-record is to be found. Painted on a column in the basement - entrance of Martin Neave's building are two marks indicating the height of water during- the freshets of 1832-47. During an earlier freshet the waters came up still higher and covered Pearl street to a depth of four feet. The White Water Canal (which now forms the road bed of the I. C. & L. R. R.) then terminated at the corner of Pearl and Plum streets, and a laden canal boat traversed the street, to Broadway (three squares Easl of Walnut) and there discharged its cargo. Proceeding on our march down Walnut street to Front we turn to the right, and a walk . of half a block brings us to the approach of the great Suspension bridge. Upon payment of three cents for toll we pass between 30 POCKET GUIDE TO Capt. F. V. Batchelor. (has. Register. Geo. W. Keyks. WALNUT STREET HOUSE Between Sixth and Seventh, CINCINNATI. 0.

Its cost was $1,800,000. Between the tow- ers the. length is 1,057 feet, and "over all" 2.252 feet. The width is 36 feet. The towers and turrets are 230 feet high. The massive cables are formed of single wire, about the size used for telegraph purposes. They were laid one by one by means of spindles made to trav- erse back and forth by machinery on the bank. 10,360 wires, weighing 16,300 pounds, were used in each cable, whose diameter is one foot. The centre of the bridge is thirty feet higher than at the entrance. The arched shape of the road bed forms a brace and adds to its strength. In the centre it is 103 feet above low water. The business done by the company owning the structure pays a dividend of ten per cent per annum. The view afforded from the bridge is very interesting, more especially of a bright Sunday when the city is free from the heavy smoke created by numerous manufac- tories. Almost below the bridge, on the West, is the landing of the United States Mail Line Company's steamers, plying between Cincinnati and Louisville. The boats of this line are among the largest, finest and fastest in the West. Strangers desiring to inspect these vessels are always received with courtes}' and respect. On the East is the Public landing, where steamers from Evansville, St. Louis.' Memphis. New Or- 32 POCKET GUIDE TO McHENRY & CO., 6 & 8 E.

The Memphis and Ohio Rirer Packet Company possess their own wharfboat and send out two fine steamers a week. Farther on is the Newport and Cincinnati bridge, and the two tall chimneys beyond whence dense volumes of smoke are constantly issuing is the City Water-works. The Suspension Bridge connects Cincinnati with Cov- ington. Ky. The latter place is divided from Xewport by Licking River, which may be seen issuing into the Ohio just above the Suspension Bridge. Both these cit- ies possess attractive features and if the stranger have the time it may be worth his while to take a stroll about both. Covington has a large glass manufactory, located on the river bank, below the Suspension Bridge, and a visit there will amply repay any one for the time thus spent. Strangers are at all times politely received and entertained. Returning to Cincinnati we turn East and soon find ourselves at the Public Landing. A few doors east of Sycamore street we arrive in front of the Union Bethel, which possesses the most interest on Sunday afternoon, when over 2,700 children attend the Sabbath school ser- vice. It is supported by donations and attended upon by a number of benevolent ladies who have associated themselves together under the title of the "Ladies Union Bethel Aid Society." These ladies make garments of various kinds for poor children. The clothing is dis- 34 POCKET GUIDE TO tributed with great fairness. For each attendance on Sabbath school service, a child receives a ticket, and to this attaches a value as so many cents, a certain num- ber entitling the holder to a certain garment. The Bethel also provides lodgings for destitute persons and disburses other charities to the poor; a free reading- room and a cheap dining hall are also connected with the institution. We continue on our course to the Newport and Cincin- nati Bridge, at which we will take a brief look, paying a toll of three cents. This bridge is made of wrought iron and is of the kind known as the "truss/' It has the largest truss span in America and next to the larg- est in the world. It has eleven spans, the widest of which is 405 feet, being intended for the use of steam- ers. Holland has a bridge with a 500- foot span. In- cluding approaches the length of the Cincinnati and Newport bridge is 3,090- feet. The track of the Louisville Short Line Railroad passes over it, and on either side are ways for teams and foot passengers. Once more we return to Front street and proceed to the Water Works, where is to be found a giant engine, which to the mechanical mind forms a matter of interest, on account of its monster dimensions and the extreme delicacy of its various parts. For several years the en- vgine was regarded as a failure, but under a new and experienced management it has been made to perform its share of labor in furnishing the city with water.

Having seen the Water Works and reservoir, we re- turn to Pearl street, one square south of Third, and take a street car going west to the corner of Fourth and Main, at which point we disembark and proceed north 38 POCKET GUIDE TO six squares on Main street to the Court-house. After inspecting the County offices, Court-rooms and Law- Library, we pass out to take a look at the jail in the rear, on Sycamore street. The Jailer is an obliging gen- tleman, and if the visitor desires to view the cages and their inmates, he will be permitted to do so on appli- cation to the aforesaid obliging gentleman in charge. The interior arrangement of the jail and the opportunity offered to study a rough phase of human nature render it worth one's while Upon leaving the jail we return to Main street and find our way Westward along Court street to Race. Turning north at Race street, after a walk of two blocks (crossing the Miami Canal on the route), we bring up at Washington Park, and halt within its gates for a brief rest. This park contains ten acres and is largely at- tended on bright afternoons and clear evenings chiefly fey German people, who densely populate its vicinity The brick building on the ground is the Art Hall of the Great Industrial Exposition, the main buildings of which are across the street. On the grounds, near the fountain is to be seen a monster aerolite, said to be the largest known to have fallen on the American Continent. It is pierced by water pipes and used as a drinking fountain. < >ur next point of destination is the Hospital, located on Twelfth street (the street bounding the park on the south), two and one hajf squares AVest. We are ad- mitted by a polite attendant, and duly waited upon by the CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 39 Superintendent, who very properly hands us over to an assistant, in reply to our request to inspect the institu- tion. It is a public charit} r , owned and supported by the city, and is next to the largest hospital in this country. We believe its plan of construction is the same as the Hotel des Invalids, Paris. Patients are treated with all the liberties obtained at a hotel, being divided into two classes — pay and free. The interior arrangements are on the most approved plan and very complete. Central Avenue is the next street West, and we follow it south to Ninth street, a few squares off. turning- then to the left to the City Buildings, situated on the south side of Ninth street, between Central Avenue and Plum. Here we find the Police Court, Council Chamber and as- sembly rooms of other municipal bodies, offices of May- or. Superintendent of Police. City Clerk, and other gen- tlemen connected with the City Government. Directly next is the City Park, a pleasant retreat on pleasant afternoons for children and their nurses. It contains about five acres. Standing at the corner of Tlum and Eighth streets (the South-east corner of City Park), a most remarkable fact may be discovered. We leave it for our friends to com- ment and moralize upon and proceed to explain. Within reach of the eve may be seen a wonderful conglomera- tion of churches, creeds and social distinctions from the highest to the lowest degree.

Looking; North, on the corner of Ninth and Plum streets, stands Robinson's Opera-house, to the left a Baptist Church, and over the way a station- house and Police court. Turning the eyes Eastward, one square off rises the steeple of another Presbyterian -Church, and then to the South, the same distance, is a (Low) Episcopal Church. Between these are to be found stables, and two or three coffee-houses add the finishing touch to this peculiar neighborhood. The church with a tall, white steeple is St. Peter's Cathedral and is massive and elegant inside. It has the finest choir in the city, and is largely attended during Vespers, on Sunday afternoon, by Protestants. The Jewish Synagogue is on the South-east corner. There are several others in the city, hut this has but enc- rival for beauty of finish inside. Strangers, by applying to the janitor in the basement, can obtain admittance at any time. Church services are held every Friday night and Saturday morning. when the music is very fine.

The finest Methodist Episcopal Church in the West is on this street, three squares West of the point where we hoarded thecar. The car turns up Freeman street and from the windows on the right hand side may be seen some very handsome private residences on intersecting streets. At Lincoln Park we leave the car to find a pleasant breathing spofc in this cozy retreat. It contains eighteen acres and is the favorite park with children. On Summer evenings many people throng its graveled walks and the lake is covered by boats kept for hire to pleasure parties. On Saturday evenings, during the Summer season, there is fine music, which is listened toby a large audience of ladies and gentlemen. The park was laid out with great care and possesses all the beauty art could impart. Under the knoll, at the right of the entrance, is an arti- ficial grotto,the beauty of which is enhanced by a cas- cade, which tumbles its falling way over an aperture opening upon the lake. We have taken a protracted stroll and our friend is probably weary enough to think of returning to his hotel. .We will proceed two squares West on Laurel street, and take passage in a car going South, which conveys us back to our starting point, the Post-office. On Walnut street, two squares and a half after the second turn of the car, we pass the Walnut Street House, which has recently passed into the hands of F. Y. Batch- lor & Co.

The first places to be visited are the Theatres. Pike's Opera House is in the middle of the block East of Vine street and perhaps there is a concert, lecture or opera going on there. It is a beautiful theatre inside. It stands a monument to the enterprise of the late Samuel X. Pike, who rebuilt it after a most disastrous tire several years ago, during which occurrence lie cooly smoked a cigar on the Burnet House veranda, and watched the destruction of his valuable property with perfect nonchalance. In our evening line of inarch we find our way along Fourth street to Sycamore, three squares East of Vine. 4(3 I'OCKET GUIDE TO Turning South and going half a square we bring up in front of the National Theatre Comique, once the most elegant and fashionable resort in the West. "Old Drury'" it was called, but it is more familiarly known now as "The Nash." It is devoted to vaudeville, or variety, perform- ances, and frequented by men and boys, except on Fri- day nights and Matinee days, when ladies are admitted. The audience is attended upon by waiters, who serve up beer and cigars "on call'" (ladies" nig :t and matinee ex- cepted). The National passed through a glorious career. The mammoth proportions of its stage, the elegance of its scenery and the completeness of its general appoint- ments made it very popular with actors. Booth and Adams, the Shakespearian kings, used to say they could give a more satisfactory performance in the National than in any other theatre in America. There are very- few theatres in this country today that will compare w T ith the National in regard to stage-machinery and the opportunity afforded for scenic effect. We go back the way we came and turn North on Vine street. On the North-west corner, tw r o squares North, is the Grand Opera House, leased by R. E. J. Miles. It is % yery elegant theatre and devoted to "the legitimate." On the opposite side of the street, half a square North, W))i's Theatre, run by B.

CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 47 On the left hand side of Vine Street, as we go North, is the "Atlantic,'' a large winter garden. A few steps far- ther on is the Public Library, owned by the city and supported by the Public School Fund. The building- ranks among the handsomest devoted to similar objects in America. The library possesses the largest number of volumes in the West and takes the fifth place in that respect with other institutions in the United States. The structure was originally designed for an opera-house, but the project failed and the building was purchased in an inconpleted state by the city, and altered to answer the purpose of a library. It is free to any one who can ob- tain the endorsement of a person owning property in the city. In the front portion of the building are located the offices of Librarian, Superintendent of Public Schools, historical and theological libraries and a reading-room containing the principal daily, weekly and monthly pub- lications of this country and Europe. In the large ad- dition is another reading-room, and farther on the main library, containing miscellaneous volumes. The admira- ble arrangement of the interior and the dazzling effect of its elegant finish, render the Public Library of Cincinnati deserving of more than passing notice. The total cost of the building and site was nearly a half million. The number of volumes is about 80,000. About fifty persons are employed about the institution. Leaving the Library we again turn our steps Northward for a journey "over the Rhine."

Cincinnati carries a large German population, the bulk of which is concentrated in the Northern part of the city. That portion of Cincinnati is bounded by the Miami Canal, and the German element occupies every nook and corner of this precinct. Thus it has gained a distinctive name, and crossing the canal is going "over the Ehine." Many of our best German families live "over the Rhine" and participate in all the sports and pleasures of their native land with wonted freedom. A person can well imagine himself in Germany while in this lo- cality. Here are the mammoth beer-gardens, where the good humored German citizen brings his wife and children to spend the evening, and listen to music dis- coursed by meritorious organizations while he sips his beloved lager. There are numerous concert halls, too, where snatches of favorite operas are to be heard nightly, and there are a few of these that obtain a respectable patronage. We continue North on Vine street for a distance of nearly five squares, when the canal is reached and we in- troduce our friends "over the Rhine." The principal gar- dens are along this street, and if the stranger is desirous to take a peep within and listen to the music, we will show him several of the leading ones. Lowen Garden is the first on the list. It is located on the West side of the street, one square and a half be- yond the canal. On summer evenings a fine string band 50 POCKET GUIDE TO is employed. In the winter season the hall is fitted up for concert purposes and free entertainments in the va- riety line are given. Across the street is Hildebrandfs Hall where the brass instrument holds forth. On the North-west corner of Thirteenth and Vine streets is Flora Garden, another popular resort on summer even- ings, but fitted up for a variety campaign during the win- ter. A few steps farther, on the opposite side of Vine street, is Germania Hall. Here is to be found that mar- vel of mnsical instruments, the orchestrian. It is a won- derful piece of mechanism, possessing all the qualities of a brass and string band combined. It performs all the choicest selections from popular operas and other com- positions with the most perfect . precision of time and effect, and is something a stranger should not fail to see. Like the other resorts mentioned, Germania Hall is pro- vided with a stage and gives free variety entertainments. The next place to be seen is Weilert's'Tavilion, on the Square above. During the summer season Weilert's is the bon ton place "over the Rhine."' During last sum- mer a picked reed band, whose members were selected from the Cincinnati Orchestra, the leading musical organ- ization in the West, gave concerts on stated evenings, and this enterprise on the part of the proprietor, had the effect of drawing such audiences that there was "stand- ing-room only." His audiences were composed largely of ladies and not a few members of representative fain- CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 51 ilies were drawn thither by the attractions offered. Next door is "Schnkling's," a competitor of Weilert's. He shares the enterprise and popularity of his neighbor during tho summer. Last season, when Weilert intro- duced his reed orchestra to the public, Schickling came forward with a competing organization, and like the former, drew large and fashionable audiences. His hall, connected with the garden, is now in winter attire, and instead of instrumental music, he introduces vocal, and gives entertainments in German. He employs good voices and presents popular scenes from leading operas. Along the route we have just traversed are innumer- able retreats and free concert-halls. The places we have mentioned are those obtaining popular favor, which some of our leading German citizens frequently visit accompan- ied by their wives and children. It is seldom anything stronger than wine or beer is drank "over the Rhine," and with the representative element it is the practice to sip their drinks "instead of gulping them down in hot- headed American fashion. Except what you eat, drink and smoke everything is free in this quarter of the city. The principal evenings "over the Rhine" are those of Thursdays. Saturdays, and Sundays. The latter is the chief evening, when the largest crowds throng the halls and gardens along Vine street. Fifteenth street is the next beyond Schickling' s. We follow it for two squares and turn North at Main street, bound for the Inclined Plane. This institution is lo- 52 POCKET GUIDB TO J. W. Gaff, President. J as. D.

Five cents fare is paid, the passenger takes a comfortable seat in the car and in a tew moments lie is ascending a height of 200 feet, which is accomplished in sixty-seven seconds. The precaution taken, in having dWble cables renders the undertaking perfectly safe, and the arrangement of the car on the plane prevents any unpleasant sensations. The machinery operating this elevated railway should be inspected, as visitors are permitted to do. The Inclined Plane com- pleted cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. A fine view of the city is to be had from this elevation, known as Jackson Hill. The sight in the evening is very striking, as one stands on the point and looks over the city aglow with twinkling gas-lights. The view by daylight should he had either early in the morning or on a bright Sunday when unobscured by the heavy smoke created by the manufactories. Jackson Hill has a resort named Lookout House. It is a large building and affords a fine view of the city. Beer and wine are drank here and during the summer evenings there is music. There is always a cool, pleasant breeze on the hill, and during the heat of summer, on a bright Sunday afternoon, over 20.000 people visit it. By the time the stranger has found his way to Jackson Hill, the evening has been well consumed and it behooves him to think of returning. At the foot of the Inclined Plane will be found a car going to the corner of Fifth and Walnut streets, where we will once more part company, to resume our sight-seeing to-morrow. 54 POCKET GUIDE TO D.

North on Linn to Day- ton, West on Dayton to Western avenue, and North on Western avenue to McLean avenue, thence to Spring- Grove avenue. Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth streets possess some attractive residences, and as we pass along Linn street views are to be had of inter- secting streets on either hand. Spring Grove avenue forms the fashionable drive about Cincinnati. On summer evenings the owners of fast horses drive out this way and frequently indulge in trials of speed. A few feet past the first toll-gate, on the right, may be seen a red mark encircling a tree, which indicates the beginning of a mile-course, thus staked off for the convenience of persons testing the speed of their horses. The end of the course is marked in a similiar manner, on the same side of the road, just be- 58 POCKET GUIDE TO fore the railroad bridge, crossing the avenue, is reached. Within this course, on the left, is the Avenue Hotel. Near by are the Great Western Stock Yards, and far- ther on the largest slaughter-house and pork-packing establishment in the West. In the same vicinity, on the right, views may he had of the Work House and House of Correction. The Work House comes first. It is within the corporate limits of the city, to which it belongs (as does also the House of Correction). Visitors are received on stated days, tickets procured from the City- Clerk being re- quired. Its frontage is 510 feet. It contains 600 cells for the confinement of prisoners, who are sent up for petty offences and made to lend their aid in support of the in- stitution by labor at various trades. Male and female prisoners are received and allotted to their respective wards. The House of Correction has a frontage of 227 feet. It receives incorrigible children under the age of sixteen years, confined at the instance of parents or con- victed of petty offences.* The inmates are taught useful trades and receive moral and mental training. They are usually held until twenty- one years of age. Passing under the railroad bridge, belonging to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, we cross Mill Creek and enter Cummiusville. now incorporated and known as North Cincinnati. As we leave Cummiusville. on the right are the lofty heigths upholding Clifton, conceded to be the finest suburb in the world. Three elegant CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 59 villas are to be seen, the first belonging to Mrs. R. B. Bowler, the second to Geo. R. Shoenberger and the third to Henry Probasco. In the perspective they present a ro- mantic appearance, but it requires a closer inspection to fully appreciate the beauty of their architecture. On the edge of Cumminsville, on the left, we pass For- est Home avenue, winding its spiral way through a deep glen and about the hills, and forming one of the most romantic drives in the vicinity. The road leads to Col- lege Hill, a suburb possessing many attractions and aifording magnificent views of the surrounding country. From the residence of L. N. Laboyteaux, on a clear day, the eye can range over forty miles of territory. Farmers' College is located on College Hill and is an institution of th.rty years standing.

The beauties of Spring Grove Cemetery are rare and fascinating. Strangers who have visited all the principal cemeteries in the country, place Spring Grove at the head of the list. In this connection may be related the story of a Boston gentleman, a retired merchant of means, whose wife had died in his riper manhood. She had been dearer than all the world to him. and his ven- eration for her memory had carried itself along into ad- vanced years. To his mind she was the perfection of lovely womanhood, endowed with nature's brightest adornments, and in the deep love of his heart he cherish- ed the resolve to place the sacred remains in the most beautiful spot he could find. With the means at his command he was enabled to visit all the cemeteries of note in this country, including Greenwood Cemetery, New York, and Laurel Hill Cemetery. Philadelphia, and from among the number he chose Spring Grove as the final resting place of his beloved wife. The writer ob- tains this story from Ids own knowledge of the facts, having had the pleasure of meeting with the gentleman at the time he was prosecuting this work of love. Spring Grove contains nearly fiOO acres. Its origin dates back to 1844. The number entered is about 30,- CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 63 OCX), lot-holders over 6,000. From forty to fifty cents per foot is paid for lots. The quiet of the neigh- borhood is due to special enactments of the Legislature. Gunning is prohibited within 500 yards of the grounds. An ample corps of watchmen is employed and the graves are thus protected from desecration. Upon leaving the cemetery, we turn to the left and pass Spring Lake, a noted pleasure resort, run on ap- proved principles. Next is Chester Driving Park, pos- sessing a half-mile course. We alight at the Club House, and are ushered into the parlor. A magnificent view can be obtained from the tower of the Club House, and the entire circuit of the course can be seen. The grade of the course is made in such a manner that in making the turns the horse's feet are kept on a dead' level. There are very few race tracks in America which surpasses that of Chester Driving Park. Either here or at Spring Lake luncheon should be ob- tained. Having attended to our inner cravings we re-en- ter the carriage and return along Spring Grove avenue to Ludlow avenue, on the left, in Cumminsville. Pass- ing along Ludlow aveune we again cross Mill Creek, and look out for a signal at the crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. That point safely passed Lafayatte avenue next claims our attention. At the brow of the hill is Mrs. Bowler's residence, formerly Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton's.

The house overlooks Mill Creek Valley and affords a view over thirty miles in extent. The park is laid out with great taste and contains flowers and plants brought from the four quarters of the globe. On the height to the right is Henry Probasco's elegant villa, surrounded, like his neighbor's, by a beautiful park : whose atmosphere is redolent with the fragrance of numerous rare flowers and plants. Pursuing Layfayette avenue to Clifton avenue, we turn to the right into Glenway avenue, which carries us to Carthage pike, and thence to the Zoological Gardens. We have seen the main part of Clifton, but there are numerous side drives which offer sufficient interest to at- tract the stranger there again and again. The village has its own Mayor and Council, and the general appear- ance of the avenues indicate that they are cared for in a most scrupulous manner. Cattle and hogs are not per- mitted to run loose: hence, we see so many lawns unprotected by fences or hedges. A drive through Clifton is like passing through an immense park, the rare beauty of her surroundings conveying to the mind the ideal of fairylaud more than one can imagine. At the Zoological Garden half an hour may be well spent in viewing the animals, birds and reptiles. It is the leading institution in America, having for a single rival the one at Philadelphia. The success of the project t>6 POCKET GUIDE TO is due private enterprise and capital. It is owned by a corporation representing a capital of $300,000. The grounds contain nearly seventy acres-, carefully arranged as to the haunts and habits of the animals on exhibition. There are a number of tenements for the animals on the grounds possessing features of architectural beauty which render them very attractive. After leaving the Zoological Gardens, a few minutes' drive brings us to Brookline avenue, leading to Burnet Woods Park, a recent acquisition by the city, now under- going improvement. Its chief beauty at present is confined to the native forest trees and the numerous dells and glens with which it abounds. Carthage pike carries us through the suburbs of (Jorry- ville to Corry street, at which point Vine street and Au- burn avenue converge. Taking the latter we drive to its end (at Saunders street), passing on the right the water tanks supplied frmi Third street reservoir, the Protestant Orphan Asylum and the Mt. Auburn Young Ladies Seminary. At the foot of Auburn avenue is Hopkhvs Park, a pleasant public ratreat, from which are to be had tine commanding views of the city and surroundings. We retrace our way along Auburn avenue, keeping to the right of the turn opposite the w^ter tanks, until Highland avenue is reached, when we turn to the left, passing the stately mansion of John Shillito. A short distance be- yond is the residence of A. 1). Bullock. Arriving at Heading road we turn to tin 1 left and proceed to A vondale. CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 67 A drive along the main avenue gives a general idea of this • beautiful suburb. Occasional glimpses of extensive out- looks are to be had. Returning along Reading road to Sycamore avenue, on the left, we enter that thoroughfare for a drive through Walnut Hills. Six squares East we come to Montgomery pike, into whic : we turn on the right, and proceed to McMillan street and turn to the left. The two latter are the principal resident avenues, although there are many beautiful spots along the side streets. At Madisonville pike, six squares East, we turn to the left and proceed eleven squares, when we turn to the right into Grandin road. Torrence road meets Grandin road at the Madisonville pike and is on the right. A few rods along the former is located the stately mansion and park of the Hon. W. S. Groosbeck. commanding a fine prospect of the Ohio Valley. A drive along Grandin road for the distance of a mile affords many magnificent views. The first house overlooking the river, on the right, is Sacred Heart Academy, a young ladies' seminary. Farther on is the residence of Joseph Longworth. con- taining an art gallery whose collection of paintings is un- equaled in the West. We return the same way to Montgomery pike where we turn to the left. At the brow of the hill the pike is joined by Gilbert avenue, which we enter to reach Eden Park, a short distance farther on. The entrance 4 to the park will be recognized by the massive stone arch, on the left Upon entering drive to the right. Passing IOCKET wlII»E TO H. H.

CINCINNATI ANI> SUBURBS. 69 round the grand reservoir, recently built, we ascend the highest point in the park. Tt is 420 feet above the river's level, and opens to view a magnificent panorama of the valley and surrounding suburbs. In front the river with steamers, barges and bridges, and Kentucky with the cities of Covington. Newport. Bellevue and Dayton, res- pectively. On the right Mt, Adams, whose bold summit is crowned by a pretty stone church (Catholic), lending a romantic aspect to the scene. At the b;ick we over- look the suburbs so lately visited. And for a distance of ten miles the Ohio River can be seen winding iis ser- pentine length along. Surmounting this elevation is a stone building known as the 'Shelter. - ' where we may stop to obtain a cooling draught of ice-water. The "Shelter" contains several toilet apartments for ladies and gentlemen, which are very convenient when overtaken by a storm. The park contains over 600 acres ana was laid out at heavy expense. It is not fully completed and when the plans for its improvement are carried out it will be a Garden of Eden indeed. The great reservoir is supplied with water pumped from the river by the Front Street Water Works, and his a capacity of 58,000,000 gallons at a depth of thirty feet, During the summer there is music every Saturday afternoon, when the park is thronged with people in carriage, on horse and afoot. Leaving the park the way we entered we cross Gilbert av< hue to Hunt street and turn to the left. At the foot 70 POCKET GUIDE TO of the hill is the power by which the water is raised from the Third Street Reservoir to the water tanks on • Mt. Auburn. At Sycamore street we turn to the left, shortly passing the jail and St. Xavier's Church and Academy. The spire of the Church is incompleted. Its height will be 350 feet, although now but 220 feet. Tin* next place of interest is the hotel where our friend is registered, and directing the driver where to leave him, we say our good-bye and part with the hope that he has not been poorly entertained while in our care. We have taken a long drive and passed over a large territory. To take this drive occupies a whole day and then it can not be done in a thoroughly satisfactory man- ner. But we have written for the general stranger, who has but a couple of days at his command. If he have time to be further entertained, we offer him many induce- ments in the succeeding pages of this work. SIGHTS WORTH SEEING. Mt. Lookout — Take yellow ear going East on Fifth street.

Among the places of interest in and about Cincinnati, none is more deserving of special attention than Chester Driving park, near Spring Grove Cemetery. P>eyond a doubt, it possesses the finest course in America. Sloping toward the inside of the circle, its grade is so admirably arranged that in making the grand turns the horse finds himself on a dead level. The park was begun last sum- mer and finished in the fall. The (Tub held its first annual meeting in September, and the park forthwith proved itself a success. The Grandstands and Club House are the finest in the country and well adapted to the wants of guests. From the Grancl Stand the horse CINCINNATI AND SUBURBS. 123 is never beyona range of the vision. The elegance and completeness of the stables are an important feature about Chester Driving Park, and to the lovers of horse- flesh we recommend an inspection of them.

What Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper Says of Duhme & Co., Cincinnati's Popular Goldsmiths "This famous Western firm has the most magnificent display of their line of goods in the Exposition. A per- sonal examination of their establishment surprised us greatly, in developing the fact that in the vast variety of its resources it far surpasses those of any house we know of in this country or Europe. It is the most complete store and manufactory of the kind in the world, employing over two hundred skilled operatives, and comprising in its list of merchandise an infinite variety of every character of materials incident to the jeweler's trade.
