FIFTH AVENUE HAS A BIRTHDAY Most Famous Thoroughfare in the World Is 100 Years Old This Week. New York, Nov. 20.—Fifth Avenue, known far and wide as New York's boulevard of wealth and fashion and which ranks among the most famous thoroughfares in the world. i<s one hun dred years old this week and the cen tenary is being appropriately celebrated unter the auspices of the Fifth Avenue Association. Tonight the program cul minated in a brilliant banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria at Which Governor Smith and, other noted speakers are to The genuine New Yorker is proud of everything in New York, proud of its shortcomings as well as of its virtue**: proud of its size and wealth; proud of its police force; proud of Wall Street: proud of the city's noise and proud of its rush and bustle; proud of the buzz ing of its subways and the rattle of its elevated railroads; proud, perhaps, even if he sometimes keeps his pride in this particular concealed, of Tammany Hall; proud of everything his city does, says, sings, or thinks; but over and above a’., is he proud of three of its attractions in particular, The Skyline. Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Broadway has bqen a possession /of Manhattan longer than either of the oth ers. The Skyline, came into being only after a Chicago man had invented skele ton steel construction and the skyscrap er. Fifth Avenue did not make itself in the city consciousness until the city had spread over a considerable part of the island, but the thoroughfare almost immediately became famous as the home of wealth and fashion. A generation ago the family mansions of the Vander bilts. the Astors and other millionaires of the day were among the sights of the city that the visitor hastened to scm. Many of these mansions have passed away with the march of progress up the celebrated thoroughfare. Some havebeen given over to purposes other than those for which they were originally intended. Hotels and clubs and fashionable shop.* of every description have taken tlmir place along the Avenue and each has contributed to the fame of the street. So marvelous has been the develop ment of Fifth Avenue that, within a century it has been transformed from an ordinary residential street into the world’s greatest thoroughfare, a section pre-eminent as a commercial, artistic and cultural center. The value of the land and building alongs the Avenue from 1826 to 1844 was approximately $3,300.- OftO. Today the same section is valued at more than $300,000,000. New Gangland Feud in Chicago.
