Excerpt from Rand, McNally Co, 'S Handy Guide to New York City: Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Other Districts Included in the Enlarged City The metropolis has many entrances. A dozen regular lines of steamships bring passengers from Europe, and many others from South and Central America, the West Indies, and the ports along the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic Coast. Lines of steamboats connecting with railroads come down the Hudson and from Long Island Sound. Five great railway termini stand upon the western bank of the Hudson and are connected with New York by ferries. Long Island is covered with a network of roads. Finally, in the very heart of the city, stands the Grand Central Depot. It will be well to point out distinctly the landing-places of passengers arriving by any one of these routes, beginning with the'ocean steamships. Cabin passengers may go ashore as soon as the vessel is made fast and will find custom house inspectors ready to examine their baggage on the wharf without delay. Pick out your trunks, give to the inspector your declaration and your keys, be polite and good tempered and the ordeal is quickly and easily passed.
