This page is primarily **advertising**, with one notable poem. The main content includes: **"His Absent Queen"** (center-right): A poem by Ed. Mott in the New York Sun about a poker player who wishes his wife were merely "in his hand" (as a card) rather than physically present, so he could focus on winning a large pot. The satire mocks male preoccupation with gambling over marriage, presenting the husband's desire to abandon his "queen" (wife) for financial gain as darkly comic. **Advertisements**: The page features typical 1890s-era ads for bicycles (Victor brand), tonic wine, patent medicines (Madame Agnes' Balm for "gathered breasts"), railroad service (Burlington Route to California), and beauty products (Cuticura Soap). These ads reflect period consumer goods and dubious medical claims common to the era. The poem's humor relies on poker terminology and the husband's casual disregard for matrimony—themes recognizable to contemporary readers familiar with gambling culture and gender dynamics of the period.

Fast in my very arms! And yet, If but last night I'd held thee Only in my hand— How then, indeed, would you Have been to me A queen imperious ! For then, Clasping’as I did those other queens, Those three right royal ladies (And had ‘em all the time), With that king full that Bill Jones held, You bet I'd stayed And whooped it up Until the cows came home, And, like a cyclone revolving out to hustle things, I'd rake the pot— That big, that opulent, that fat jack-pot— And stowed it in my jeans— If but last night I'd held thee Just in my one weak hand, Ob, queen! —Ed, Mott in New York Sun. 2 ASA SURE PREVENTIVE ALWAYS USE MADAME AGNES’ BALM GATHERED BREASTS.

In the recent "G: Lesur’s Westy we i er New York" number of ated many of the con- spicuous features of the coming metropolis, but great and varied as the exhibit was it was only partial. It is simply impossible to portray in a single issue, of in a volume of ordinary dimensions, the marvelous growth and available resources of the“ Greater New York.” It is now our purpose to supplement this issue with another, in which will be presented equally notable features of the commercial, industrial and social life of the city, special reference being had to those great business and benevolent activities which give it commanding eminence. The illustrations will be executed in the highest style of art, and will be accompanied by exhaustive descriptive text. This number will shortly be For Sale by All News-dealers end on All Trains. PRICE, TEN CENTS. The immense edition of the first “Greater New York’ issue was completely exhausted two days after it was placed on sale. To those, therefore, who do not wish to be disappointed in getting the new num- ber we would suggest the advisability of placing an order with their nearest newsdealer in advance. Every patriotic American can in no better way de- monstrate his country’s progress to his friends and correspondents at home and abroad than by sending them these special issues illustrating America’s great m=tropolis.
