BOWLING GREEN
 

EW YORK is cosmopoli¬
tan, essentially so, be¬
yond all large cities of
the world. Absorbed
in the whirl and stir of
the To-day, occupied
with vast schemes and
enterprises for the To¬
morrow, overswept by
a constant influx of new
Ufa and new elements,
it seems to have no individual entity. It does
not hold fast its old traditions, its past associa¬
tions. It is hurried on, in the quickstep of its
march of improvement, far away from its start¬
ing-point ; and as it goes and grows with rapid
progress into something new and vast, it ruth¬
lessly obliterates its old landmarks and forgets
its early history. It is well, sometimes, to look
back and remember the beginning of things.
