GLIMPSES OF CHICAGO. NOTES BY A NEW YORKER AFTER TWENTY-FOUR HOURS THERE. ¥e Says the Streets Are the Shabblest and Filthiest ¥e Ever Saw, but Gives Much Praise to the Cable Cars, Parks, and Drives. Tho New York Sun prints a report of a New York man’s first experience of Chicago. The New Yorker had a German friend for company. The following parts of The Sun's article are interesting: Chicago's sweets aro the shabblest and filthiest the New Yorker over saw, and he is tolerably well acquainted and at home in every American and Canadian city east of the Queen of the West, Clark street, Ran dolph street, Adams and Van Buren streets, Wabash avennue, and, in fact, all the streets they saw, or ’ walked on, except State street, were full of ruts and holes; and State street needed cleaning to a degree that would have made Capt Williams cry and the heart of Mr, Coleman ache. Acci- dently the reporter learned the reason for thia “Chicago builds each year more than she can afterwards maintain,” a man said “ She builds new miles of streets, and has to let the old miles fall out of repair. She has appropriated nothing for street-ci leaning this year, and whatever is done in that line is done by day's work.” During the day the visitor rode saveral miles in all directions in the cable cars They are admirable They will leave New York behind the age as long as she is with out them. One does not see them at their best in Philadelphia; it is RECEEry to go to | Chivago, where they form the eans | of intercommunication, to under stal 1d enjoy them. The cars ride swiftly, iL oe ly and without fencing and are better in most respects than York's elevated roads There see no radical defect in the cable system.

It is the central park of Chi- cago, lies on Lake Michigan, and is best reached by way of Dearborn avenues, which, though Chicago does not appreciate it, is the handsomest, most aristocratic and im- pressive street in Chicago. It is more elo- quent of true praise of the solid, wholesome, dignified qualities that must be considerable than all the Prairie and Michigan and the like avenues the place possesses It con- tains less that is offensive than any other avenue or boulevard, But Lincoln park is a noble pleasure-ground. The trees are older than in the other parks, and the drive along Lake Michigan, as well as the views that the lake affords, are godsends to the city, which, by the way, is sxid to be almost always cool by reason of its waterside situ- ation. Not only In respect of its pa cago oxoel the metropolin 1 . drives are oven more excellent than her parks In Chicago one may take his own or one of the cheap and good backs of the public livery- wen and ride over forty miles of roads that are simply p “fect, and that intersect very beautiful dis Acts, both rural and suburban. He will constantly meet the hideous but welcome watering-carts that account for the general absence of dust; and if, while he is on the south side, he will follow one of these carts into its stable ho will see one of the prettiest sights in Chicago—a wooden rotunda, open (like a circus) in the middie, and framed with two rows of stalls, occu pied by beautifully groomed and stalwart fat horses, monarchs of thelr kind, Each stall Is labeled with its ococupant’s name on bs in compliment to the great “Carter H.,” after the mayor; ik John,” in honor of Mr. Wentworth, #0 on.
