A SINGING MASTER'S FIRST VISIT
TO NEW YORK.
Having come to a good understanding
about breakfast, bills of fare, and things in
general at the Astor, said Mr. Philkins, I
told the clerk I wanted to see Broadway.l
and asked him to tell me where I should
go to look for it.
'Right in front of the Hotel,' says he,
'Why,' says I, 'you don't mean to say
that that narrow street out there in front
of the house is Broadway, do you I'
1 do,' says he.
'Well,' says I, 'then I suppose tt is. and
all I have to say is, I'm disappointed. I
expected to find Broadway a wide street,
which it would take a spy-glass to look
I across; but this is nothing ; I've seen wi
der streets than these in Chicago.'
The clerk said he was sorry Broadway
did not suit me, and hoped I wouldn't let
my opinion get out, as it tnight make the
inhabitants feel bad. He said if I would
keep still, he'd speak to the Mayor on the
subject, at the very first opportunity. I
promised secresy, shook hands with him,
and set out to see what could be seen.
As I went down the front steps inside, I
met a gentleman, and bowed to him, as we
always do to strangers where Ilive ; but he
took no notice of me at all. Thinks I,
you're an ill-bred fellow, anyhow, with all
your clothes. At tha foot of the stairs I
met another man and bowed to him. He
gave me a saucy stare and passed on.—
Well, gays Ito myself, if that is the game
here in New York, I can play at it with
the beat of you ; and 1 resolved not to bow
to soother soul, unless I was bowed to
j first.

I sauntered along down Broadway, look-
ing at the signs and shop windows, when
suddenly a chap driving an omnibus beck.
oned to mc. Hello, thinks I, here's an
old acquaintance, but on looking at him
closely, I didn't recognize him. He kept \
motioning to me, however. and looking at
me for a long time. I hadn't gone a rod
; before another chap motioned to the ; and
then another, who was driving down the
street, beckoned to me too. 1 thought
some of them must know me, and so I
want up to one to see what it meant. As
i he saw me coming, he pulled up his horses
and says!, 'Well, neighbor, how are you ?
Where have we seen each other before ?'
'Ride up says lie.
'How 1' says 1.
'Elide up ?' says he ; 'right away, up
Broadway.'
'No,' says 1, don't want to ride up
Broad way , I'm going way.'
What did you stop the 'bus for, then,'
said he.
didn't stop it; you stopped it yourself,
I replied ; and what's more, you stopped
Ime too. You beckoned to me, and I tho't
you knew me, or wanted to say something.'
You're a precious green one,' said he;
and all the folks inside the omnibus laugh
ed as he drove off.
I kept on down the street till I came to
a fireplug, on which 1 set down to rest and
; look around. I'he people came along up
in such crowds front the church with a tall
steeple (Trinity) that I thought perhaps
they had just had a morning meeting there,
and that the people were going home to
breakfast; so I thought I'd wait till they
got past. But they kept corning thicker
and thicker; is thinks I, they have a re
vival down at the church, and I'll just go
down and see how they are getting along.
and give them some real Kentucky revival
hymns on thu molar hallelujah order.
So I went along down. Before I got t )
the church, I saw a chap standing on tho
sidewalk with a stick on his shoulder, on
the top of which was a big board ; on this
board was written, in big black letters—
$lOB7 97
ernA.Lits, mote. OF MOCK AUCTIONS!
Thinks I, what is a Mock Auction ?
This is something now ; I must look into
it; and in my curiosity to penetrate into the
mysteries of a Mock Auction, I forgot the
revival at the big church.
I walked up to the door before which
the chap with the big board was standing,
and looked in. A young man was selling
all sorts of valuable articles. Right next
another man was selling things too; and it
occurred to me that he had got that chap
with the big board to stand before the first
man's door so as to injure his business
This struck me as being real mean; my
sympathies were touched ; my Kentucky
grit began to ferment, and I determined to
patronize the injured party; you know a
Kentuckian always goes in for fair play,
and no favors asked.
While I stood thinking over the matter,
the man iv ho was selling watches, (the .in
jured party') happened to see me, and int
tnediately bowed to me in it very polite
VOL. XXIV. NO. 7.
manner. That was the first bow I'd re
ceived in New York, and it came over me
with a most gratifying effect. Says Ito
myself, I've found a gentleman at last who
is no upstart, and who understands the us
ages of polite society. I returned his bow
and he then politely asked me to walk in,
which I did. Just as I stopped in, he bid
off a handsome gold watch for $l5 ! Bless
my soul, thinks I, what a fool I was, not to
have bid on that ! I might then have had a
a nice gold watch to take home to my wife,
and how proud she would have been ! So,
says I, neighbor have you got nny more of
them
"Yes, sir, he answered ; , •here's a splen
did gold watch and chain, left for sale by
a young gentleman from Cuba, who is out
of money, and must sell them at some
price.—l hope gentlemen will bid liberally
for the gentleman is very worthy and in
great need."
The folks began to bid. '!three dol
lars," says one; •'five dollars," says anoth
er.—Thinks 1, that's darned moan to take
advantage of a poor fellow that way; so
says 1, "eighteen dollars." I suppose
that rather frightened the company, for
after that no body else bid a cent, and the
watch was knocked down to me. The
man who sold it then went to the other
end of the counter, telling me to pay the
money to another man who was sitting at
a desk with a big account book open be
fore hint. I paid the money and theta
went to the other end of the room for my
watch. When the auctioneer handed it to
me, it sit uok me that it didn't look like
the one I had bid for, and on examining
it closely; I saw it was nothing but copper:
So says I—
"See here, stranger; this watch is noth
tug but copper, and I bought a gold
watch."
"I didn't warrant it gold," avid he.
"Well, I don't care what you warran•
tad it for; y ou sold it fore gold watch, and
it isn't gold; so just give me back my
money."
have no authority to return money to
any one, else I should be happy to accom
modate you; you must speak to the cash
ier, to whom you paid the money."
I then asked the cashier for my money
but he said he had no authority to return
or pay out money, either. I aski d him
who had authority, then, to give me back
my money. He said no one in the estab.
lishment had authority to pay out money
under any circumstances. Said I, you all
seen, reauy enough to take in money, and
its odd enough none of you can pay it out.
He replied, that according to the rules of
all establishment any one connected with
it could receive money, but no one could
pay it out; and these rules, he said, st ere
always strictly enforced. Well, said I,
you're a darned pretty set; I never heard
of such a system before, and I shan't stand
it. The fact is, my Kentucky dander riz
just about this time, and I determined to
whip the rascal, if he did not give me bock
my money; but, before I could get at hi
a chap who said he was a policemen told
me confidentially that if I made a distur
bance, he should Lo obliged to take me to.
the Tomle. This put a damper on my
combativenesss, for I'd heard horrid stories
about the Tombs, and wouldn't have
gone there for a dozen watches. So I
thought I'd coax hint to give me back my
money, but he wouldn't listen to me at
all.
I looked at the watch. It was just a
bout the meanest looking thing that ever
ticked; and thinks I, shall I give such a
thing to my wife? I couln't stand the
thought. What! take a copper watch
home an a present to my wife ? to tho
mother of my children ! I just took the
thing by the chain, and says I—
"See here; do you suppose I'll take
such a watch home to my wtfn ! No. sir.
Now, if you don't give me buck my money
I'll take it out on the sidewallc and dash
it into a thousand pieces !"
"Oh !' says he, "it was a lady's watch
you wanted, was it? Why then didn't
you say so before? We can sell you
sp:endid married lady's watch—just the
thing for y our wife, and I will give you a
written guarar.tee of its genuineness; there
will be no cheat about the watch."
Well," I replied, "but what shall I do
with the $lB I've fooled away on this cop
per thing!"
"Oh, that shall count on the other. I'll
take the copper watoh back."
Well, thinks I I'll go it; I'll save myslB
any how, So I took hold of the one ho
showed line and examined it carefully,
While I was inspecting it I heard a gen
tleman behind me say in a whisper to a
friend, Isn't that a splendid watch ! its
worth at least *150; 1 wish I had my purse
with me, so I could buy it; I'd have is
sure. Thinks I, that gentleman knows
all about it, so there's no danger. I'll have
it, and no cheat.
We began to bid, and everybody scent
ed to want the watch, for they all bid free
ly. It ran up to *llB, and I got it. Now
thinks I here's a present fit for a wife;
won't she be proud 1 I handed over the
copper watch and *lOO, and left.
The next day I thought I'd ask a jewel
or what rny watch was worth, and don't
you believe that turned out to be a copper
one; too ? I started for the Mock Auction
store at once, but 1 couldn't find it, It
was changed into a cigar store.
'I hat was what 1 got by not going to that
revival meeting, es 1 ought to have done
