AN IDEAL NEW YORK HOTEL. 



The readers of The Guide to Na- 

 ture who have occasion to visit New 

 York City will find the Hotel Cumber- 

 land at the corner of Broadway and 

 Fifty-fourth street a very satisfactory 

 city home for a day or longer. 



This hotel does both a transient and a 

 family business and has first-class peo- 

 ple as patrons. Tbe rates are reason- 

 able. The location is central and is 

 rapidly becoming more so. Within ten 

 minutes" walk or easy access by llroad- 

 wav surface cars or the subway are 

 twenty theatres. It is near to every- 

 thing and yet just out of the noise and 

 confusion. 



The rooms are good and are all practi- 

 cally outside rooms and every room has 

 a bath room and every bath room has 

 an outside window. 



It is perhaps the only hotel in New 

 York City with all hard wood floors and 

 Oriental rugs and it has the best large 

 collection of rugs in the city. 



The windows are fitted in summer 

 with fly screens. 



The restaurant makes a specialty of 

 good food and good service at moderate 

 prices. 



The manager of The; Guide to Na- 

 ture voluntarily publishes this note of 

 commendation simply because the hotel 

 deserves it. Messrs. I tarry P. Stimson 

 (formerly of Hotel Imperial) and R. J. 

 Bingham (formerly of Hotel Wood- 

 ward) know how to well manage a 

 hotel. Good work in any line is always 

 worth v of praise. 



A GREAT OPTICAL INDUSTRY. 



Recently the Royal Photographic 

 Society in London opened its 35th an- 

 nual exhibition, which occurrence always 

 forms one of the important events in 

 English photographic circles. Not only 

 does this exhibition brine every year
