TUNDA.—FAIRY GROTTO.—THE CHIEF CITY, AND GREAT 
CROSSINGS. 
Procror’s ARCADE, which is entered imme- 
diately beyond the Star Chamber, is, says Dr. 
Wright, the most magnificent natural tunnel in 
the world. It is a hundred feet in width, forty- 
five in height, and three-quarters of a mile in 
length. The ceiling is smooth, and the walls 
vertical, and look as though they had been 
chiseled out of the solid rock. 
When this tunnel is illuminated with a Bengal- 
light at Kinney’s Arena, which is its western 
terminus, the view is magnificent beyond con- 
ception. This arcade is named in honor of Mr. 
L. J. Proctor, the proprietor of the Cave Hotel. 
Kinney’s Arena is a hundred feet in diameter 
and fifty feet in height. From the ceiling, in the 
center of the Arena, there projects a stick, three 
feet in length and two inches in diameter. It 
rests parallel with the ceiling, and is inserted
