. When old New York was young . r many a year now ithad been the Inn of Corporal Thompson.In this year that I have mentioned the innwas torn down, and on the ground, extend-ing 200 or more feet along the road, andtaking up almost the entire block, FranconisHippodrome was built. It had two storiesof brick, with turrets surmounted with carvedfigures of classic design. The auditoriumwas covered with a roof of tin, and above thearena, 700 feet in circumference, stretcheda green and white striped canvas.
