STREETS J HE
Writer Names 12 of World’s
Greatest Thoroughfares.

London.—Which are the twelve
most famous streets in the world? The
question is extremely difficult to de¬
termine, for there are two or three
factors to be taken into account, fac¬
tors which the average man is apt to
overlook when trying to solve the
problem. FV>r one thing, a street, to
come within this category, must be
well known to folk of every civilized
nation, and not merely to those of the
country It belongs to. For another,
there must be a consensus of expert
opinion at least that this street Is
worthy of being reckoned among the
world’s leading thoroughfares in any
case; and thirdly, the name of such a
street, wherever the road may be,
must be one which men and women
recognize as soon as they hear it, or
at any rate It must be thus recognized
by a very large percentage of travel¬
ers, readers and educated people.
Taking those characteristics as our
guide, says a writer in the London
Weekly Telegraph, it Is probable that
the following list of twenty includes
all the best known streets in the world,
and from these the dozen most famous
streets would doubtless have to be
chosen. The twenty celebrities of
this sort include:
Regent street, London.
Okford street, London.
Strand, London.
Fleet street, London.
Cheapside, London.
Whitehall, London.
Princes street, Edinburgh.
O’Connell street, Oxford.
High street, Oxford.
Champs Elysees, Paris.
Rue de Rivoll, Paris.
Unter den Ldnden, Berlin.
Avenida, Lisbon.
Foochow road, Shanghai.
The Bund, Shanghai.
Nevski Prospect, St. Petersburg.
Collins street, Melbourne.
Burke street, Melbourne.
The Broadway, New York.
Fifth avenue, New York.
These include, as will be seen, nine
British streets, two French streets,
two American streets and one each in
Russia, Portugal and Germany. It
may be taken as certain that no trav¬
eler or person whose opinion was
based on real knowledge would deny
the claim of these twenty to be reck¬
oned among the most famous streets
of the world, however much It might
want, or suggest, the Inclusion in that
category of one or two others he fa¬
vored.
Hence, from this list I think we
should be able to pick out the chief
dozen after some trouble. W*e are not
now looking at this matter from the
point of view of beauty, or trade, or
size, or antiquity; we are simply con¬
sidering the .point »1Uurfigar4 to fast*

The Place to Find the Right Goods at the Right Prices
and rehown, whatever be its cause,
operating to give the street the widest
degree of popularity. And, taking that
view of it, I think we must at the start
rule out Whitehall and Oxford street
from the London half dozen, while
similarly the Nevski Prospect and the
Rue de Rivoll may be left out of the
European section. This decision would
reduce our number by four, thus leav¬
ing us with sixteen, from which we
have yet to choose.
Now, though O’Connell street (late
Sackville street), Dublin, Is one of the
most beautiful In our islands, and has
every characteristic of a grand thor¬
oughfare, I do not think it is nearly
so well known outside this kingdom as
are several others In our list here. So
we may, however reluctantly, put it
aside, too. Probably, as the Bund of
Shanghai would have to give way to
to the Fooschow road in popularity, we
can omit that also from further consid¬
eration here, famous as it is all over
the extreme east. Which brings down
our still existing list to fourteen. But
the elimination of the next two
streets from these is a matter of most
difficult decision.
Burke street, Melbourne, may per¬
haps be left out in preference to Col¬
lins street, if we are only to include
one Australian road, as seems most
likely now. And, since a London street
is almost sure to be the unlucky “thir¬
teenth” which has to go, I certainly
think we must give the preference to
the Strand over Cheapside. There can !
be no two opinions as to which street!
is best known and most recognized by !
name and fame among the millions of !
our colonial cousins and foreign
friends who have never visited any
part of these islands. The immense j
number of books, papers and maga¬
zines emananating from Fleet Btreet
have won it popularity abroad in a
wonderful way. In spots which never
heard of Cheapside, grand, hoary and
historic as that dear old street is with
us in this land.
So I think our dozen most famous
streets of the world would be the fol¬
lowing, probably in the order here
given:
Fleet street, London.
Regent street, London.
Champs Elysees, Paris.
Broadway, New York.
Strand, London.
Fifth avenue, New York.
Avenida, Lisbon.
Princes street. Edinburgh.
High street, Oxford.
Unter den Linden. Berlin.
Collins street, Melbourne,
Foochow road, Shanghai.
