In them I found the following Interesting information: “New York has felt just what a blizzard really {s."" “The most terrible snowstorm ever known here.” “Travel on railroads and horse cars stopped and wires down.” There are stories on the then recent death of the old Emperor of Germany. Among the theatrical advertisements I found those of P. T. Barnum’s “Greatest Show on Earth” at Madison Square Garden, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” at Niblo’s Garden, Fannie Davenport in “La Tosca” at the Broadway Theatre, Edward Harrigan in “Pete” at his own theatre and the “Great Show" at Tony Pastor's.

In a Broadway cabaret last night (Monday) the waiter informed our party that as it was close to 1 o'clock the'next dance would be the final. We were welcome, however, he said, to remain for the show. While the last dance of the night was on we heard the waiter telling the folks at the next table that there would be no more dancing, as the police were enforcing the 1 o'clock Jaw. One of the gentlemen at that table appeared to be quite peeved about it. He wanted to see the Manager. HE was going to haye another dance. He'd “show them.” The girls gave him the merry ha! ha! and he said; “I'm going to fix {t for one more dance, see?

A draft for $156,000 was presented to us to-day by a messenger from one of the downtown banking houses. It is a strict rule of this banking company that a draft must not be surrendered before a check is given in pay- ment. In order for us to make the payment, however, it is necessary to attach the draft to the check to be sent through three or four de- partments for approval and signature. This takes about fifteen or twenty minutes. * * * In the past, when we requested the draft in order to pass thé check, the messenger has refused until the situation was made clear to him, but to-day this draft for $156,000 was handed over without a word and the boy sat down to walt. * * * It took the usual amount of time and I was rather surprised that we did not hear from the boy.
