From September 25 to October 9,|
1909, the State of New York, under
the auspices of the Hudson-Fulton
,, ' Celebration Commission, will commemorate
with appropriate exercises
the 300th anniversary of the discovery
of the Hudson River by Henry
Hudson in 1009, and the 100th anniversary
of the successful inaugura- j
tlon of steam navigation upon the!
ame river by Robert Fulton in 1807. J
The plans for the celebration have '
been formulated with a view to the
1^ KN lt^\ 1>S< I
international, national, Interstate.
State and local significance of the
events to be commemorated.
The people of Holland, under royal
auspices, have built a reproduction of
the Half Moon, to be presented to
the Commission manned with a crew
in the costumes of the period of
y* Henry Hudson. The reception of
this distinguished delegation, together,
as it is hoped, with ships and official
representatives of foreign nations,
will mark the international
phase of the celebration.
The National Government will be
represented by the Federal troops,
the United States navy and distin
guished civil officers.
An interstate participation cannot
? be avoided when two commonwealths,
like New York and New Jersey, have
so much in common in their, geographical,
historical, social and commercial
relations, and the appointment
by Governor Hughes of fifteen distinguished
citizens of New Jersey ui>on
the Commission, as well as the activities
of New Jersey boards of trade.
Indicate that such participation is in
vunierupiauon.
The State-wide observance of the
events has been provided for in the
preparations for commemorative ecercises
in all the universities, colleges,
schools and learned societies throughout
the State.
In the Hudson River 'ley every j
county seat from Newuurgh northward
is preparing actively for one
day of local celebration.
In New York City and the Hudson
.Valley south of Newburgh the features
of the celebration promise to
t make it unique in character and of
lasting educational value.

The Commission is nf tv>o nr,i
that in arranging for the celebration
the people should not overlook the
divine guidance in the two great
events to be commemorated, one of
which opened tip our State to modern
civilization and led to the founding of
the city of New York, and the other
of which laid tho foundation for the
vast commerce upon which the prosperity
of the city and State so largely
depends. It has therefore set apart
the day for religious observances.
Monday, September 27.

The celebration will culminate In I
New York City in the evening with a

the most famous carnivals of Europe. '
Brilliancy will be added to the general
spectacle by the illumination of
the fleet and public and private build- j

plays of fireworks at various points,
notably on the great bridges as in the
fetes of the 14th of July in Paris, are

THE HUDSON RIVER.
The proat river which Hudson explored
has had many names, it was
[ ailed Cahohatca and Skanehtade
llahunda by the Iroquois. Mahicanituc
r Mahican river by the Mohican Indians,
and Shatemuc by other Indians;
Una Grandissima Riviera by
Uera/.zano whence Rio
[Irande, Riviere Grande and Grand
River; Rio de San Antonio or River
if Saint Anthony by Gomez (laL'.'O;
Rio de Gataas by the Spaniards
( 1 fi2."?-l Goo i; River of the Mountains
by Hudson ilG<?9), or Montaigne
Rivier on Dutch maps (1G15ldtS-i);
River Manhattes by De Laet
ilGj.'i), or Manhattans Rivier on
Dutch maps (1(115-l(?f>4 >; River
Mauritius or Maurits Rivier from
Maurice, Prince of Orange, during
the Dutch period; and the Noort
uii ii.t i 1'uii'ii pcriou) or .Norm
River (English) to distinguish it
Front the South or Delaware River.
Hudson's name has displaced all
Lhesc except the North River, which
is applied in a limited way to that
portion of the river opposite the city
jf New York.
The Hudson River Is very remarkthle
in several respects. In the first
place, for 150 miles of its length it is
not a true river but a fiord. From
Albany to the ocean its rock bottom,
ivith the exception of a few islands, is
jelow sea-level. How far below, is
aot accurately known. Opposite
Storm King Mountain, where the engineers
of the new aqueduct for supdying
New York City with water
Front the Catskills hoped to build e
unnel under the river, they hate
jored a thousand feet down into the
lirt and sand that fill the gorge under
he water and have not been able to
ind rock bottom. The shore line at
Albany is at practically the same elevation
as the shore line at New York,
ind the tide rises at Albany two and
dght-tenths feet. This onward and
downward flowing of the tide, of
ivhich Hudson took advantage in his
voyage, had, of course, long been
loticed by the Indians, who spoke of
he river with wonder as the stream
hat flowed both ways.
The river is also remarkable for
ts groat natural beauty. The dlsinguished
German surgeon. Dr. Adolf
Lorenz, while visiting on its shores in
19(>2. pronounced it more beautiful
Lhan the Khine.
Largest Natural Bridge.
Spanning -74 feet and more than
dOfl feet high, a natural bridge, said
to be the largest known, lias been ?lisrovered
by members of the I'tah
Archaeological Sooity, which has returned
to Salt Lake City from an expedition
along tho Colorado River, in
Northern Arizona and Southern Utah.
The bridge is located four miles north
of the Arizona line, in the State of
Utah, six miles cast of the Colorado
River.
