There will be baseball grounds, and facilities for all sorts of sports; and outings and games will center here. I promise you the next regatta of the State Rowing Association, and a street-car line landing passengers where we now sit." "Hear, hear!" said Mr. Barr-Smith, and the company clapped hands in applause. Mr.
After a week's experience of New York, I cannot but fancy that certain travellers I could mention have been guilty of similar errors of proportion. To return to our street-car platform. The conductor gathers from our conversation that we have just landed from the English steamer, and he at once overflows upon the one great topic of all classes in New York.
Men with dinner buckets on their arms went hurrying along at call of the whistles, shop-keepers were sweeping, dusting and arranging their goods, a street-car full of miners passed, with clanging gong; and the fire department horses, out for their morning exercise, clattered down the street.
It was Veltman, the foreman of the 'Clarion' composing-room. "He's a street-car employee. It's as much as his job is worth to go up against Pierce." They were pressed back, as the clanging ambulance arrived with its white-coated commander. "No; not dead," he said. "Help me get her in."

She seldom thought about her way of life, about what she ought or ought not to do; usually there was but one obvious and important thing to be done. But that afternoon she remonstrated with herself severely.
It was the altitude perhaps that caused the patent feeling of exhilaration, as much as the near prospect of taking again to the open road. The roadways of Mexico offered unknown possibilities. A six-foot street-car drawn when at all by mules, stood at the station, but I struck off across the rolling country by a footpath that probably led to the invisible town.
