Wednesday we spent sightseeing around the city.

We went up 5th Avenue to 114th St and then through Columbia University to Riverside Drive and Grant's Tomb then back to the City again and down town seeing all the large buildings and having them described to us.

We saw the aquarium, Singer Building, Woolworth, City and Metropolitan Life Buildings and thence over to Brooklyn via the Manhattan Bridge across the Hudson thence back home via the Jewish Italian and Negro sections of the city and being a bit tired went to bed early as were to have a big day on Thursday.

In the morning we took ferry over to the Statue of Liberty and inspected that, came back and saw through the Aquarium and in the afternoon took a tube to Coney Island which is about an hours ride from N.Y. All the amusement places are closed now for the winter but it must be a great place when in full swing as it is an enormous place entirely devoted to amusing the young and old.

On our ride to the island we went underneath the Hudson River so on our return we took an elevated and crossed Brooklyn Bridge.

At night we met a chap who came across with us on the Tahiti and took two Australian ladies and a Yank to the theatre "Passing Show of 1924" which was very ordinary [and appears to have been the last of the "Passing Show" series that ran from 1912 to 1924 at the Winter Garden Theater].
