On this site, where had been\\nthe earliest market-place of the town, the first town house was built\\nin 1657. This house was destroyed by fire in 1711, rebuilt a year\\nlater, and again burned in 1747. The present structure was built in\\n1 748 and within and without the building many stirring events have\\noccurred. It was in turn town house, court house, province court\\nhouse. State house, and city hall. On the first floor was, in early\\ntimes, the merchants walk or exchange. In the eastern room of the\\nsecond story, Avith an outlook down King Street, was the council\\nchamber, where the royal governors of the province and the royal\\ncouncil sat. The western chamber was the general court-room.\\nOver the entrance to one of these two rooms is placed the seal of the\\ncity, and over the other that of the State.\\nDuring the Stamp-Act excitement the stamped clearances were\\nburned in front of its doors. The British troops were quartered\\nwithin the building in 176S, and within a few feet of its eastern\\nporch occurred the Boston massacre, on March 5, 1770. The next\\nday Sam Adams stood in the council chamber and made his suc-\\ncessful demand upon the royal representatives for the immediate\\nremoval of the troops from Boston. Frothingham, in describing this\\nevent, says: On the walls of the chamber were representatives of\\nthe two elements now in conflict of the Absolutism that was pass-\\ning away, in full-length portraits of Charles II and James II robed\\nin the royal ermine; and of a Republicanism which had grown robust\\nand self-reliant, in the heads of Endicott, and Winthrop, and Brad-\\nstreet, and Belcher.

In 1730 the present brick structure took the\\nplace of the first meeting-house. Although a place of worship, the\\nold meeting-house had, at times, served other purposes.

It is not surprising,\\ntherefore, to find this Library taking the leading place on the list\\nof the sights of Boston. In the Italian Rennaissance style of archi-\\ntecture, it is quadi-angular in shape and surrounds a court. With its\\nplatform, it covers, exclusive of the court, an acre and a half of\\nground. Its walls are of Milford granite, which has a faint pink tinge,\\nand the roof is of brown Spanish tiles.

The\\nwhole structure rests on a low platform, approached by wide\\nencircling steps, which lifts the library above the level of Copley\\nSquare.

The Provincial\\nforces then took possession of the island and repaired the fort. In\\n1797, its name was formally changed to Fort Independence, President\\nJohn Adams attending the ceremonies. The island was ceded to\\nthe General Government in 1798.

The other\\ntwo, Seminole and Carib, are a little smaller, but otherwise just as\\ngood and comfortable, and the large number of habitual travelers upon\\nthis line confess that there is little choice among the whole fleet. Each\\nsteamer, besides all the known improvements in machinery, life-pro-\\ntecting appliances, etc., is luxuriously furnished, provided with electric\\nlights, bells, fans, etc., and has most of its staterooms opening upon the\\nupper deck, while all are well ventilated.

There are a\\nlarge number of travelers who much prefer to make a part of their\\njourney by water, and to these the Clyde Line offers a delightful sea\\nvoyage, rates cheaper than the railroad charges overland, and greater\\nrest and comfort on the way.\\n(155)", "height": "2443", "width": "1549", "jp2-path": "randmcnallycosha00chc_0207.jp2"}, "208": {"fulltext": "15(1 TRAVEL NOTES.\\nGREEN S HOTEL, PHILADELPHIA.\\nNo hotel in Pliiladelphia is more widely or better kuowu among busi-\\nness men and good livers generally, than Green s.

It has stood so\\nlong in the now enlarged and commodious building at the corner of\\nChestnut and Eighth streets, that the locality hardly needs mention. It\\nis an advantageous situation, being just midway between the wholesale\\ncommercial districts, nearer the river, and the retail shopping streets\\nsomewhat above that point. It is convenient also to the postofflce.\\nIndependence Hall, and several other historical points, many of the\\nprincipal theaters, and to ail the railway stations and points of depar-\\nture for the seaside.\\nThis hotel now contains no less than 250 rooms, offering homelike\\nquarters to ladies and families as well as to business men traveling\\nalone.

Its arrangements and conveniences include the most recent\\nimprovements in hotel structure and equipment, and the art of the\\ndecorator has been lavishly employed. In this manner safety, sanita-\\ntion, comfort, and beauty have combined to render the hotel so lux-\\nurious that to call it homelike would be to compare it only with the\\npalaces of the wealthiest. Guests are entertained at the Hotel Empire\\naccording to the American plan (which is preferred by the many fami-\\nlies which make it an almost permanent home), or upon the European\\nplan. For the accommodation of the latter class an elegant restaurant\\nis maintained, which is regarded as among those of the highest class in\\nthe city in all respects. Nowhere can better cooking be found, or more\\nskillful service. The experience of many fastidious travelers sustains\\nthe truth of these assertions.\\nHOTEL EARLINGTON, NEW YORK.\\nPractically a new house is the Hotel Earliugton, in Twenty-seventh\\nStreet, near Broadway. Formerly known as the Gerlach, it was run as\\na family hotel, but now that it is to be used for the transient trade as\\nwell, it has been thoroughly made over, wholly remodeled on the in-\\nside, and refurnished, all at an outlay of nearly $200,000. The building\\nitself cost $1,000,000. Even the proprietorship has been changed, and\\nin future it will be managed by E. M. Earle Son, who for thirty\\nyears were connected with Earle s Hotel, and who now manage the Hotel\\nEarlington and the St. James, at Richfield Springs, N. Y.\\nAmong the innovations made in the West Twenty-seventh Street house\\nby the Earles is a system of telephones and call bells connecting every\\napartment with the office. Over three thousand electric lamps light the\\nhoti l, supplied by its own private plant. Steam heat is used, and the\\nelevators are large, and run all night from floor to roof. The house is\\nten stories high and overtops the surrounding buildings so far as to\\nafford excellent light on all sides and fine ventilation. There are no\\ninside or dark rooms. The building is guaranteed to be fireproof, ami\\nis constructed of iron, granite, and brick, with filled floors. Only the\\nwalls and floors were retained in the reconstruction. An orchestra in\\ntliL dining room will be a permanent feature. The house contains two\\nhundred and fifty guest chambers, Avhich are so arranged that they can\\nbe let singly or in suites of two, three, four, or up to seven rooms each.\\nEvery single room has a private bath attached, also stationary wash-", "height": "2443", "width": "1549", "jp2-path": "randmcnallycosha00chc_0209.jp2"}, "210": {"fulltext": "158 TRAVEL NOTES.\\nStands, with hot and cold water. While the transient trade will be\\ncatered to, yet the family trade will be treated with the greatest care.\\nThe situation of the Earlington is considered excellent for a modern\\nhotel of the first rank. It is within easy reach of the best shopping\\ndistrict and the theaters. The Broadway cable cars pass it close to the\\neast, the Sixth Avenue electric cars lie just to the west, and the Twenty-\\neighth Street station of the elevated railroad is only one block away. By\\nthese lines and the use of transfer tickets, the hotel is quickly and\\neconomically reached from all railway stations, ferry slips, and steamer\\npiers.\\nUNITED STATES HOTEL, SARATOGA, N. Y.\\nThe United States Hotel at Saratoga Springs is so far-famed and so\\nthoroughly popular that it hardly seems possible to say anything new\\nregarding it. It is one of the institutions of America. Within its walls\\ngather each year thousands of the representatives of the world of fashion,\\nwealth, and refinement. It is in itself a great social capital, and is on a\\nscale so grand that its very magnitude is impressive. Within a court\\nformed by three sides of the hotel is one of the loveliest private gardens\\nin America, filled with beautiful fountains, the rarest of shrubs, and no\\nmore brilliant scene is to be found anywh.ere than is here presented\\neach evening, when the park and the surrounding piazzas are thronged\\nwith the gay concourse of guests. The finest music is rendered morn-\\ning, afternoon, and evening on the broad porches, and even a glimpse\\nof the brilliant scenes for which the United States Hotel is famous will\\nlong linger in the mind.\\nIts very immensity is a charm in itself, for there is in the great\\ncortidors, parlors, and dining rooms a sense of freedom from all restraint.\\nIt is like roaming about a great baronial palace, yourself a prince, with\\nvistas, through the liallways and from the windows on the one side, of\\nfairy-like gardens, with glistening fountains, and the air fragrant with\\nthe verdure, and on the other, the gay l)oulevards of the city of Sara-\\ntoga, alive with the handsome equipages and trappings of fashion and\\nweaidi.

Connec-\\ntions are made next morning at Yarmouth by train and boat for all\\npoints in the Maritime Provinces. The boats of the Yarmouth Steam-\\nship Line go direct from Boston to Yarmouth, the neai-est point in\\nNova Scotia. It is much the quickest and most convenient route. In\\nfact, the people of this country owe a great debt of gratitude to the\\nYarmouth Steamship Line; for had it not been for this enterprising\\ncompany, the beauties of Nova Scotia w.ouUl have been known to com-\\nparatively few. For when it was necessary, in order to reach the laud\\nof Evangeline, to make a long, tedious, and expensive railroad tour\\nthrough Maine and New Brunswick, it was far too inaccessible for the\\nmajority of people. But when, some few years ago, the Yarmouth\\nCompany built the beautiful steel steamer Yarmouth, which made the\\ndistance from Boston to Yarmouth in fourteen or fifteen hours, they\\nbrought this delightful land within reach of all; and when the further\\nfact is taken into consideration that this trip, this ocean voyage to a\\nforeign land and back, can be made for the trifling sum of $9, there\\nis really no reason why every American should not be able to go\\nabroad every summer. So popular did this steamship line become after\\nthe Tannouth was placed in service, that two years ago another boat,\\nlarger, still swifter, and handsomer, was added to the line the Boston.\\nThe Boston is a steel boat, built on the Clyde, measuring some 255 feet,\\nof 1,700 tons burden, and having over 4,500 horse power.
