< Copyright Hart Schaffner It Mari THREE hundred years ago, Hendrick Hudson, an adventurous Dutch sailor, in a , little ship called the "Half Moon," sailed up what is now the harbor of New York, and up the great river which now bears his name. Two hundred years later, a hundred years ago, Robert Fulton, amid the jeers and ridicule of his fellow townsmen, who said he was a crank, and couldn't possibly do it, made a voyage up the same historic river, from |New York) to Albany, in the "Clermont," the first vessel ever propelled by steam. [ And now the country is celebrating these two historic events in a great pageant; the two clumsy little ves? sels, reproduced in exact size and appearance are to be saluted by a great fleet of warships, assembled from all the big navies of the world; and civic and military parades and commemorative exercises are to be held in * honor of these two historic events in the progress of civilization. \ You'll read about it in all the newspapers.
