Sometimes it is plain sailing, as atThirty-third street, shown in Fig. i; butin others the stairs are fearfully and won-derfully made, going zig-zag, crosswise,under the railroad, and about every otherway imaginable.

The side stations areshown in Fig. 2. which gives a good view. Fig. 3. COLUMNS IN THE STREET.
