neighborhood Of the Ferries were iammed
with all kinds of vehicles waiting their
turn to cross. Every thing upon wheels.
from the snowy turnout Of the millionaire
or the dandy to the wagon Of vender Of

lovers Of sport to the course. The largest

and 10000 the Fulton Ferry, up 10 ten
o'clock. The Railroad company carried
in round numbers 5000 passengers to
