Guide to City of Chicago A COMPLETE HAND-BOOK TO THE SIGHTS OF CHICAGO SHOWING THE LOCATION OF Prominent Public and Private Buildings, Banks, Churches, Business Rlocks, Places of Amusement, Hotels, Railway Depots, and Offices, Etc., TO Walle Mercantile Information, A. ROY & CO., Publishers, , ILL. As this Guide is intended for the use of country merchants, it will be our main object to give such information as will be of special service and interest to them, and while we may give a few condensed descriptive reviews of the more prominent places, it is our intention rather though to point them out, and leave our readers to discover their attractions for themselves. Certainly it is, that Chicago can with pride point to her gorgeous streets, her palatial stores, her magnificent hotels, her elevators, her manufactories, her large lumber interests, her rail- ways running in all directions, her metropolitan places of amuse- ment, and especially to her enterprising and go-ahead merchants, to whom much credit is due in making Chicago the Metropolis of the West. If this small but carefully compiled Guide should prove as serviceable and useful as we trust it may, it is due to the firms of A. T. STEWART & Co., GRAY BROS., PHELPS, DODGE & PALMER, and HIBBARD, SPENCER & Co., to state that the publication of this Guide is due to their liberality and business enterprise. It is also to the credit of the publishers of this work, that in taking advertisements, only the leading and representative firms have been accepted, and as this Guide will fall mainly into the hands of country merchants, we feel justified in using this discrimination. A. J. HAGEMAN, JR. HAND-BOOK TO CHICAGO. CITY HAL.!*. One of the most interesting sights to be seen in Chicago is the new Court House, now reaching completion, on the site of the old Court House destroyed by the great fire. The exterior of county ; ; portion of the building, with the exception of its dome and cupo- ^ las, is now finished, presenting with its massive granite columns, numerous pilasters and richly carved caps, one of the finest and most costly municipal buildings in the country. The only build- ing of its kind in the Union that can compare with it, for costli- ness and beauty of architectural design, is the so-called Public Building of Philadelphia. The Court House will occupy a full square, and have its main entrances on Clark and La Salle Streets. The cost of the building when completed will be about $5,000,000. CUSTOM HOUSE AND POST OFFICE. The United States Custom House and Post Office building is a massive structure, one of the finest of the kind in the country ; built of Cincinnati sandstone, 303^ feet north and south, 201^ east and west, three stories, attic and basement, 144 feet high from the ground, costing near $5,500,000. The main front oppo- site the Grand Pacific Hotel, on Clark street. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The Chamber of Commerce is opposite the Court House on the Cor. of Washington and La Salle. It is built of Ohio Sand Stone, and is conspicuous for its grand entrance and large windows. Visitors are permitted to the galleries, where a most interesting sight is presented. Here one sees a thousand or more men who, collectively, compose the Chicago Board of Trade, and handle the grain and provision trade of the Northwest. It is 180x90 feet on the ground ; two floors, occupied by offices and the Chamber of Commerce. WATER WORKS. Pumping capacity, 100,000,000 gallons; average daily city con- sumption, 50,000,000 gallons; cost of works, $8,430,000.* The most important acquisition and feeder to a city is its water priv- ileges. In this, as in many other respects, Chicago will vie with any other city in the world. Nature has provided her with the big and pure Lake Michigan, the supply from which being simply inexhaustible. An immense masonry tunnel penetrates the lake for a distance out of three miles, whence it receives its supply from the BOTTOM of the lake, through the "crib." Underlying the city are spacious tunnels and "mains," constantly supplying the three divisions with an abundance of cool and wholesome i GRAY BROS: OIELIEBIR^TIEID THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

I'he Water-Works, buildings, machinery, etc., are well worthy of a visit from the stranger, imparting knowledge in this respect infinitely superior to any other American or European city. Street-carsfare 5 cents convey you to either of the Works North or West Sides the former being by far the most attrac- tive, on account of its STONE TOWER, rising to < the dizzy height of 175 feet, and from which the visitor may enjoy an unobstructed view of the entire city and its surroundings. THE PUBLJC I^IBRARY is a place of interest to the visitor. It has 62,000 volumes. After the great fire, the world was laid under voluntary tribute to restore the lost library. The response was general, and the present mag- nificent library is the result. The collection is varied and valuable a collection of ancient and modern lore. The daily average of volumes taken out is 1,205 ; the largest number in any single day was 3,339. A well supplied free reading-room, is connected with it. Corner Dearborn and Lake streets. The Athenaeum, Mercantile Academy and Gymnasium and Reading-room is adjacent to the Public Library, and is a flourish- ing institution. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO is the leading educational institution of Illinois. It has a fine observatory. St. Ignatius College, Presbyterian Theological Sem- inary, Northwestern Seminary, and Garrett Biblical Institute, at Evanston, are prominent educational institutions. Chicago has 312 churches, and an efficient public school system. THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, the Chicago Historical Society, with its admirable collection of historical works ; the Academy of Design, the Reading-room of the Young Men's Christian Association, and other places of a similar character, are well worth visiting, and the stranger will learn from seeing them that Chicago is not unmindful of the claims of higher education and higher attainments in the arts and sciences, notwithstanding, it is a great commercial mart and enthusiastically devoted to commerce and business. CHICAGO CI^UB HOUSES. The Chicago Club occupies quarters on Monroe near State street, equal to those of any such institution in the country. It has become historic as the place of entertainment of commercial clubs and organizations from abroad. The Calumet Club, Eight- eenth street and Michigan avenue, and the Union Club, furnish accommodations for the residents of the South and West Divisions, and have good accommodations in the way of buildings.

The Lake Park, or Lake Front, is in the heart of the city almost wholly artificial, made by filling in to extend the city land. It is a pleasant resort, and on summer evenings is crowded. Trains on the Illinois Central, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Michigan Central, Baltimore & Ohio, and Kankakee Route/' pass this Park and the Exposition Building in leaving and coming into the city. The Inter-State Industrial Exposition Building is one of the most notable of the public buildings in Chicago. Those who are familiar with the magnitude and importance of the Annual Exhi- bitions given there the past seven years will recognize the value and efficiency of the same in bringing before the country the products, especially of the great Northwest, in the most promi- nent manner possible. It is a veritable bazaar, exhibiting every conceivable manufactured article, from the largest steam engine down to the most ''improved and approved pin." The magni- tude, elegance and perfect adaptation of the building and fixtures to the requirements of a representative exposition of the indus- tries of the vast extent of country represented here, are admira- ble. The building is 1,000 feet in length, with an average width of 240 feet; height of main tower, 168 feet from the ground, from which a full view of the city may be had. It is well lighted day and night ; has a water supply so distributed by service pipes and so controlled by a fire brigade, always on duty, that a loss by fire is almost impossible. This is a building it will well repay the tourist to visit. Its general architecture is modeled after the Exposition Building in Vienna, in 1866. The success of this praisworthy enterprise is largely due to the energy and persistent efforts of John P. Reynolds, Secretary of the Company. The annual exhibit is during the months of September and October. THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT, on the lake shore near Thirty-fifth street, is the finest piece of workmanship of the kind in the city. It consists of a column rising from a quadrangular block, which incloses the tomb of the great statesman and patriot, and is surmounted by a bronze statue of him. It was built by public subscription, and finished in 1878. Is surrounded by handsomely ornamented and improved grounds. THE UNION STOCK YARDS. The Union Stock Yards are the most extensive and complete in the world. Corner of Halsted and Forty-third streets, and can be reached in thirty minutes from the center of the city, by- street or steam cars. It is the greatest live stock market in the world, covering an area of 207 acres, and fitted with every con- venience for the conducting of that immense business. Near by are the mammoth packing-houses, and not far away, and to be 'taken in" in the same visit, are the great lumber yards of the South Branch, and some of the immense elevators for which WM, G.

All to be reached by steam or street cars or the drive via Michigan and Wabash avenues, and South Park avenue and the boulevards are a favorite drive to the Parks, where the park phaetons will take you up and, at a cost of twenty cents, will take you about and give a general view of the parks and grounds. LAKE SHORE DRIVE LINCOLN PARK. The Lake Shore Drive can be reached by taking State street north to the Water- Works. Thence on to Lin- coln Park, the largest and most notable in the city. The topography was originally diversified, but the whole was a stretch of sand-hills and plains. This barren waste has been redeemed and converted into a delightful pleasure-resort for the people of all classes, by the use of 150,000 cubic yards of black earth and clay, and is supplied with water from the Chicago Water-Works, the town of Lake View, adjacent on the north, and two artesian wells, 1,150 and 1,500 feet deep ; has over three miles of pipe and one and one-quarter miles of sewerage ; is annually visited by 2,000,000 people, and about 3,000 vehicles pass through it daily. Sundays and fete days it is densely crowded. The park, with the shore-drive to Pine street, contains 295 acres 7 miles drives, embracing 35 acres ; 7 miles walks, 8 acres ; the lakes and sylvan bowers and lakelets, 12 acres ; lawns, 120 acres, and balance unim- proved. It has a lake frontage of 2j miles, a splendid drive-way bordering the lake the entire distance, which is a conspicuous feature, affording views of the lake elsewhere wholly unsurpassed. The natural beauty of the north shore, elevated above the water upon a level plateau, which is kissed by a lake of marvelous changeable beauty, with its pictures of blue waters and blue sky, and its fleets of vessels passing by add their charms to the entire scene and make it a place of pleasure-resort seldom excelled. On beyond are what have been termed the " Highlands of Chicago." The Zoological Department is quite creditable, having several uncommon animals and birds. Recently two very fine speci- mens of the Sea Lion have been added to its many attractions.. The Floral Department is excellent. WEST AXD SOUTH SIDE PARKS. Going to the West Side, we see Humboldt, Central, Douglas the principal parks in the West Side park and boulevard system, with an area of 565 acres. Union, Jefferson, Vernon and Wicker Parks are smaller, but pleasant and beautiful places of resort. Xear Central Park is the Chicago Jockey and Trotting Associa- tion's track, which is considered the fastest track in the country, Maud S. having here made her wonderful time of 2:103^. (JKAXD AXD DREXEL, BOULEVARDS. The most extensive of Chicago's park and boulevard system are the South Parks, which are composed of two parks, with an area of 965 acres. Here are the famous Grand and Drexel i, T, mm & co, WABA8H A VE. and WASHINGTON ST.

The floral display on these boulevards is said to excel anything of its kind in Europe or America. It is a veritable Ambrosia in the suburbs of Chicago; pleasure to the eye and gratifying to the taste. There are lakes, bridges, grottos, and all that art can desire to please and entertain in the way of rural and rustic attractions. The total assets of the South Park Asso- ciation is $6,624,509. When the projected system of Parks and Boulevards is consummated, Chicago will rival Paris in this respect. The Union Stock Yards are in the vicinity of these Parks. HACK OllDJNANCE.
