  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Aquarium Year: 1900 Circular building to left of picture. Another very interesting place at the Battery is the Aquarium. It was formerly old Castle Garden and was once used as the immigrant receiving station. Through its doors millions of our citizens have passed. It was built originally as a fort in 1812 and was named after DeWitt Clinton, then Governor of the State. Later it was used as a place of entertainment and seated 8,000 persons. Here Jenny Lind sang and many famous visitors from Europe to the United States were received here: Lafayette, the Belgian king, Pershing, the Prince of Wales and others. It is now under the management of the New York Zoological Society and used as an aquarium. In it is perhaps the finest collection of living fishes to be found in the world. It is open every day and is free to the public. The Whitehall building (to the extreme right of the picture) is one of the great office buildings. The original building was 20 stories high, but the later addition is 34 stories high. In it are the offices of many large commercial concerns. Headquarters for shipping, export, coal and oil businesses. There is a very good restaurant in the top of this building. Title: Aquarium Year: 1900 Circular building to left of picture.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Robert O. Case Year: 1936 Most of this writer's stories deal with life in the West and he is well equipped for this type of fiction, as his background is full of western color and personal experience. He has "roughed it" in Oregon and Alaska, has engaged first hand in fishing, lumbering, and other outdoor industries and sports. Eleven months of active service overseas gave him a wealth of military experience besides. Case was doing publicity work for the Portland Chamber of Commerce when he began writing fiction. He found writing so profitable that in 1924 he gave up his other work and used all his time in creating stories. He has written mainly for the magazines, but is the author of several novels. Riders of the Grand Ronde is a vivid story of modern Eastern Oregon. Case is a graduate of the University of Oregon and met at college the girl who later became his wife. Title: Robert O.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Night market Year: 1900 Among the more interesting sights in New York City are the night markets. There are several on Manhattan Island and in Brooklyn, one of the largest being near the water front on the west side at about 14th Street. During the summer a large open space of more than a city block in extent is used for the market. Here truck growers from Long Island, New Jersey and places out from New York City bring their produce by the cart, wagon and truck load for sale to the city buyers. The market opens officially at 11 o’clock at night, but for hours before, the carts and wagons are creaking in, loaded with everything in the line of fresh vegetables that one can think of—and in such quantities: Drivers who get in early curl up on the seat or wrap in a blanket under the wagon or car and snatch what sleep they can before the real business of the night begins. Buying begins soon after midnight, but the rush is on during the early hours of the morning. Everything—carts, wagons and produce—is all gone by seven o’clock in the morning. Everything is sold wholesale. Larger groceries send their own wagons and buyers, but jobbers handle the buying for the smaller markets up town. Instead of the housewife and her market basket on her arm, is the groceryman with his wagon or truck. If one is willing to lose a night’s sleep, it is a most interesting experience to see first hand how New York’s million or so dinner tables get their fresh vegetables. There are also very interesting fruit and fish markets, which one must also see at night or just at day break in the morning to find them at their best.
