RIDING AT ANCHOR 



Xext to Central Park, where broad acres of the most expensive land on earth present a 

 velvety expanse of green, and great rocks, surrounded by carefully tended shrubbery and 

 graceful trees, retain their rough natural beauty, the most inspiring "breathing space" is 

 perhaps Riverside, which occupies a considerable proportion of the shore of the Hudson north 

 of Seventy-second street. From this park a fine view of the Hudson River may be had, and 

 within its confines is located the stately tomb of General U. S. Grant, which is to New York 

 what the tomb of Napoleon is to Paris.
