NIBLO'S GARDEN,
Situated on the corner of Broadway and Prince streets, is laid out
with exceeding taste, and always the very pattern of neatness, hav¬
ing walks lined with choice flowers and shrabliery; an elegant
Saloon, adorned with chaste and beautiful designs, mirrors, fee.;
grounds, too, ornamented and rendered refreshing by the ever-
gushing waters of a fountain—these when combined, as they are
combined in summer, with the delightful strains of a mihtary band,
give a peculiar fascination to this Garden, and tend, togesher with
the exceedjng taste and propriety with which every thing is presented
and conducted, to render this establishment the theme of praise
among all citizens and strangers. The fireworks occasionally ex¬
hibited here are of the first order, and the theatrisal and operatical
entertainments are " ever pleasing, ever new."

and improved in 1806; bumf, in 1820 ; and rebuilt in 1821. There
