Franklin Bartlett, a member of the Board of Trustees, who died Saturday, April 24, 1909. Col. Bartlett was a native of Worcester, Mass., where he was born September 10, 1847. He graduated from tlie Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute in 1865, and from Harvard College with the degree of B. A. in 1869 ; was admitted to the bar in 1870 upon examination; attended Columbia Law School ; studied at Exeter College, in Oxford Uni- versity in 1870-71 ; took the degree of LL. B. from Columbia Law School in 1873 ; and received the degree of A. M. and Ph. D. from Harvard in 1878. He prac- ticed law in New York City from 1873 i^^^til the time of his death. He was a Democrat in his political affiliation and was a Member of Congress from 1893 to 1897. He was a Colonel in the National Guard of New York and a veteran of the Spanish War. Among his business con- nections, he was a director and the Secretary of the New York Sun Printing and Publishing Association. He was a member of many patriotic, hereditary, historical, literary, political and social organizations, his college fraternity being D. K. E. His wife (born Bertha Post), a daughter, Mrs. Harry K. Benkard, and a son, Mr. Wm. O. Bartlett, survive him. He was a charter member of the Hudson- Fulbon Celebration Commission which had relied upon him to perform important duties at the time of the celebration. The Acting President expressed the high respect in which the Commission held Col. Bartlett for his many-sided abilities, and the deep sense of loss felt at his death. Death of Mr. B. A. Wikstrom. The Acting President also announced the death of Mr. B. A. Wikstrom, the artist, who had designed most of the floats for the Historical and Carnival Parades, and April 28, 1909 987 who died in New York City on Monday, April 26, 1909. Mr. Hoffman, Chairman of the Historical Committee which has had the supervision of the construction of the Historical floats, paid a tribute to Air. Wikstrom's ability. The artist was born and educated in Sweden, having graduated from the University at Stockholm. He had a studio in Stockholm, but for years his principal residence had been in New Orleans, La., where for many seasons he had designed the floats for the famous Mardi Gras Carni- val. In this department of art, he was regarded as a master, and he considered his work for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission as his chef d'oeuvre. Mr. Hoff- man said that in his intercourse with the representatives of this Commission, Mr. Wikstrom had commanded their uni- versal respect for his abilit>' and their affection for his kindly nature. Minutes Corrected and Adopted. The minutes of the last meeting, having been printed and sent to all the members, were corrected by the insertion of the name of Mr. Thomas Powell Fowler among the trus- tees re-nominated on page 970, which was omitted through a stenographer's error, and as corrected the minutes were approved.

Mr. Seligman said in explanation of the two small con- tributions reported in the Subscription Fund, that the first, of eight cents, came to him with the following letter : " Brooklyn, April i8, 1909. " Mr. Eliot Tuckerman, Secretary Hudson-Fulton Com- mission: " Dear Sir : My father told us about the great celebra- tion which you will hold on the twenty-fifth of September printed in the New York World on Saturday, and the amount it would cost each person. I am seven years old so I will send you the sum. Hoping every child in Greater New York will help make it a success, with best wishes. *' Yours very truly, " Amell\ Weibert, '* 195 Irving Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y." The contribution of 10 cents from a New York school boy, Robert B. Upright was evoked by the publication of the girl's contribution. The boy said he proposed to in- terest his friends in the same way. Bills Approved for Payment.

Joseph H. Choate as Chairman and Mr. Eliot Tuckerman as Secretary.

Committees were then called in alphabetical order for reports. Several of the committees made brief reports of progress. The more extended reports are recorded in the following pages. Expenditure for Accountants Anthori::ed. Mr. Phillips, Chairman of the Auditing Committee, re- ported that it had proved to be impracticable to secure the necessary accountants from the lists supplied by the State Civil Service Commission because the eligibles did not care to accept temporary employment. He, therefore, moved that the Committee be authorized to engage Mr. John B. Trainer as accountant at a salary of $50 a week, and Mr. James T. Backus as bookkeeper at a salary of $18 a week, the latter to be employed only three or four weeks, and both to be paid from the Subscription Fund. Carried. 998 Minutes of Trustees Metropolitan Museum of Art Exhibit. Mr. de Forest, Chairman of the sub-committee on Art Exhibits of the Committee on Art and Historical Exhibits presented the foHowing- report : The Committee on the Exhibition of Objects of Art to be held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in connection with the Hudson-Fulton Celebration begs to report as follows : The date set for the opening of the exhibition is Septem- ber 20, 1909, and the time of closing, the middle or end of November. The exhibition will be divided into two sections, em- bracing ( I ) Dutch paintings of the period of Hudson, to- gether with Dutch furniture and objects of art of the time, and (2) examples of the American industrial arts dating from about 1625 to 1825, and paintings by American artists of Fulton's time. P'or reasons that are self-evident, it was felt that the exhibition in The Metropolitan Museum should be purely artistic in character, rather than historical, and there being few works of art associated with the life or personality of Henry Hudson himself, for this part of the commemora- tion it was determined to attempt to bring together a loan collection of Dutch art of his time, that is, roug'hly speak- ing, the first half of the seventeenth century, the period when Dutch painting was at the height of its development. With liberal co-operation on the part of private collectors it was believed that such an exhibition could be made worthy of the occasion, the Dutch school being the only one of the great schools of the past which can be said to be well represented among the collections of America. It is a pleasure to be able to announce that already the re- sponses received to the requests for pictures have exceeded even the anticipations of those who have had the selection in charge. It can now be confidently stated that this part of the exhibition will constitute by far the most important collection of old masters that has ever been shown in this country, and will rival in interest any of the famous loan exhibitions which have been held in Europe. Including several paintings which are hung in the Museum galleries, about eighty masterpieces have been promised up to the present time, with the prospect of more to come. Among- those already secured are twenty-five Rembrandts illus- trating the various stages of his artistic career, eleven by Frans Hals, and works by Vermeer, Ruysdael, Cuyp, Ter- April 28, 1909 999 borch, Pieter de Hoogh, Hobberna, Jan Steen, Van de Velde, Metsu, Van der Meer, Koninck and Van de Capelle, The list of contributors is not yet complete, but those who have already agreed to lend paintings from their col- lections are the Chicago Art Institute, which will send its beautiful Rembrandt of a Girl standing at a Door, the New York Historical Society (Rembrandt), J. P. Morgan, who will send eight pictures from his house in London, M. C. D. Borden (8), Senator W. A. Clarke (4), Robert W. de Forest (2), H. C. Frick (number uncertain), George J. Gould (4), Mrs. FL C. Havemeyer (3), Ferdinand Her- mann (i), Mrs. C. P. Huntington (8), Mrs. Morris K. Jesup (4), J. G. Johnson of Philadelphia (8), Richard Mortimer (i), Charles M. Schwab (i), Mrs. J. W. Simp- son (2), Charles Stewart Smith (2), W. A. Stater of Washington (2), Sir William Van Home of Montreal (3), W. K. Vanderbilt (i), and P. A. B. Widener of Phila- delphia (number uncertain). In addition to the pictures, it is intended to give the galleries in which they are hung a decorative effect by the introduction of a limited number of objects of other arts of the same period, such as furniture, silver and pottery, but the arrangements for these are not yet sufficiently ad- vanced to warrant a description of them. The American Section of the Exhibition will embrace examples of the American Industrial Arts dating from the earliest Colonial times in New England and New Amster- dam to 1825, and paintings by American artists of Fulton's time. In the collection of these objects, the aim has been to show by means of the most noteworthy examples the development of artistic expression in the more important handicrafts. In the exliibition of these, care will be taken to give them the best possible chance to be seen to advan- tage in a consequential arrangement. It being the first time such an exhibition has been made, it is hoped that a new emphasis may be given to the importance of our early workmen. The most important group shown will be the furniture. In the early Colonial days almost all of the furniture was brought by the settlers from England or from Holland. Later much of the household furnishing was imported, but craftsmen early began to ply their trades, using as models what had been brought out from the mother countries. Little seventeenth century furniture now exists and it is only through the courtesy of Eugene H. Bolles of Bos- ton, who has lent examples of oak chests, chests of drawers, looo Minutes of Trustees " turned chairs," " wainscot chairs," etc. from his exten- sive and remarkable collection, that the Committee is enabled to make a noteworthy display in this direction. Previous to the beginning of the eighteenth century, oak was the wood most used by cabinet-makers; with the in- troduction of mahogany about 1720, a new era began. Of this period we shall be able to show all of the variations in style worked out in this wood, and well-known by the names of the English cabinet-makers Chippendale, Sheraton, Hepplewhite, Adam, etc. Of these styles the exhibition will contain examples brought from England through the ordinary channels of trade and copies produced in this country. Many excel- lent and important specimens have been secured through the kindness of several collectors of note, among them George .S. Palmer, Esq., of New London, Conn., Dwight Blaney Esq., and F. H. Bigelow, Esq., of Boston. Of special interest to New Yorkers will be the examples of furniture of Fulton's own period, made by a cabinet- maker of New York, Duncan Phyfe, and generously lent by R. T. Haines Halsey, Esq. Phyfe was strongly in- fluenced by the immediate followers of the French Empire style but he brought to his work an individuality in his motives and an excellence of technique which raise him above the other workmen of his time and allow us with reason to claim for him the place of New York's great cabinet-maker. Accessory to the furniture are collections of A.merican made silverware showing specimens of the handicraft of the comparatively speaking large body of silversmiths in New England and New Amsterdam and including a num- ber of the very rare pieces by Paul Revere, better known as a soldier than a silversmith, also pewter, glass and pot- tery. For the silver we are indebted chiefly to R. T. Haines Halsey, Esq. and George S. Palmer, Esq., who have placed the whole of their collections at the disposal of the Committee. As with the silver, so with the pewter, glass and pottery, most of which will come from the collections of Alex- ander W. Drake, Esq. of this city and Edwin A. Barber, Esq. of Philadelphia ; the arrangement will bring out the story of the development of the industrial arts in this country before 181 5. Only a few paintings have been brought together, the Museum's own examples of the work of our early Ameri- April 28, 1909 1001 can artists being deemed sufficient to show their art, but enough pictures by Smybert, Copley, etc., have been ob- tained to give additional character to the rooms in which the industrial arts are shown — enough to show the degree of the taste for the arts in the colonies as expressed in all its branches. The names of lenders are given in the following list : Edwin A. Barber, glass, pottery and pewter; F. H. Bige- low, silver; Peter T. Barlow, portrait of Joel Barlow by Robert Fulton ; Alexander W. Drake, pewter and textiles ; Herbert Dupuy, silver ; Mrs. Charles S. Fairchild, silver ; H. H. Flagler, eighteenth century furniture ; R. T. H. Halsey, silver; L. V. Lockwood, furniture; Dr. Irving P. Lyon, seventeenth century furniture ; George S. Palmer, silver and painting by Sully ; Mrs. J, Marsden Perry, silver ; Frederick O. Pierce, seventeenth century furni- ture ; Albert H. Pitkin, eighteenth century furniture ; Trinity Corporation, silver ; G. W. H. Ritchie, pewter and Mrs. W. E. \'erplanck, silver. Respectfully, Robert W. de Forest, Chairman. Badges, Flag and Poster. Mr. Jaccaci, Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster presented a written report, the substance of which follows : Badges : It is recommended that the badge consist of a bar, ribbons and medal as outlined on page 958, except that those for the public are to have no bar. It is pro- posed that distinctions be made in the metal and the colors of the ribbons according to the official character of the wearers. Flag: That bids be invited from all iiag makers to make the official flag, the award to be made by some other com- mittee than the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster. Poster: The poster is to be 19 by 26 inches in size, in- cluding a one inch margin. It is proposed that an agent or agency be employed to supervise the distribution. Souvenirs : It is recommended that makers of souvenir spoons, etc., be permitted to copy the designs of the badge, flag and poster, upon payment of a proper sum to the Com- mission. I002 Minutes of Trustees The report was received and referred to the Executive Committee with power. Upon request of Mr. Jaccaci, who goes abroad April 29 to remain until July i, Mr. Louis A. Ames was appointed Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster. Brooklyn Citiscns' Committee Report. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a communica- tion dated April 23d from Col. Willis L. Ogden, Chair- man of the Brooklyn Citizens' Committee, suggesting a tentative programme to be followed in Brooklyn, subject to the approval of the Commission. Referred to the Brooklyn Committee of this Commission for consideration and report. Mr. Stoddard's Bond Waived. When the report of the Carnival and Historical Parades Committee was called for, the Secretary stated that the contract dated February 8, 1909, with Mr. A. H. Stoddard, for the construction of floats, contained the following pro- vision : Eleventh: For the purpose of securing to the Com- mission the full performance on the part of the said Stod- dard of this agreement and of the guarantee contained herein with respect to the limits of cost where specified herein for the work to be carried out under said Stoddard's direction, the said Stoddard shall and he hereby agrees to furnish to the said Commission a good and sufficient bond in the sum of $25,000, with a satisfactory surety company as surety thereon, and all obligation on the part of said Commission under this agreement is hereby expressly understood to be conditional upon such bond being fur- nished prior to any expense being incurred hereunder The Secretary stated his opinion that Mr. Stoddard had in good faith endeavored to secure such a bond, but on account of the unusual nature of the undertaking, no surety company was prepared to go upon the bond. In view of this, and the further fact that the work appeared to be going on satisfactorily, he moved that this require- ment of the contract be waived. Carried. April 28, 1909 1003 Appropriation for Carnival Floats. The Assistant Secretary in behalf of the Committee on Carnival and Historical Parades, reported that since the last meeting the work of constructing the floats for the night Carnival Parade had been begun and moved that $30,000 be appropriated for the construction of 50 floats at $600 each and $4,000 for the purchase of 50 trucks at $80 each, in accordance with the estianates given on pages 729 and 730 of the minutes. Carried. Children's Festivals Committee. The Hon. Samuel Parsons, Chairman of the Committee on Children's Festivals, presented an itemized estimate of expense for holding children's exercises at 1000 centers, to be participated in by 1,000,000 children, on Saturday, October 2d. The estimated requirements amounted to $163,750. The report was referred to a joint conference of the Executive, Plan and Scope and Children's Festivals Com- mittees, to be held on Wednesday, May 5th. Line of Parades Adopted. Major General Roe, Chairman of the Military Parade Committee, offered the following resolution : Resolved, That the line of march for the Historical Parade, on Tuesday, September 28, 1909, the Military Parade, on Thursday September 30, 1909, and the Carnival Parade on Saturday October 2. 1909. be from iioth street, down 8th avenue to 59th street, across 59th street to 5th avenue and down 5th avenue to Washington square, at that point the parades to turn into 4th street towards the East and disperse. Adopted. Location of Official Rez'iezi'ing Stand Adopted. The Acting President reported that in response to the request of the Commission and under date of April 15. 1909, the trustees of the New York Public Library had given their formal consent to the erection of the official re- viewing stand in front of the new Public Library building I004 Minutes of Trustees on the west side of Fifth avenue, between 40th and 426 streets.* General Roe ofifered the following resolution : Resolved, That the Grand Stand and reviewing point be established on the west side of 5th avenue, in front of the new library n.nnii«g from 40th to 42d streets. This resolution was adopted and the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands was requested to pro- ceed with the necessary arrangements for building the stand. Time of Governor's Island Reception Changed. General Roe ofifered the following resolution : Resolved, That the Evening Reception of the Official Guests at the headquarters of the Department of the East, on Governor's Island, be changed to an afternoon Recep- tion at the same point on Monday, September 27, 1909, if agreeable to the authorities. Adopted. Keel of Clermont to be laid May 14th. In the absence of Mr. Olcott Chairman of the Clermont Committee, the Secretary read a letter from the Staten Island Shipbuilding Co., dated April 28, stating that if agreeable to the Commission, the keel of the Clermont would be laid on Friday, May 14. The date was approved. Suggestions Concerning Dedication Programme. Judge Higley, Chairman of the Committee on Dedica- tions, reported the following suggestions concerning the form of programmes for dedications by civic societies under the auspices of the Commission and recommended that they be printed in the minutes : The Committee on Dedications of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Com.mission offers the following suggestions concerning the form of programs for the dedication of memorials by civic societies under the auspices of this Commission as a part of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. *Permission was granted by the Department of Parks under date of April 29. April 28, 1909 1005 We think it would be wise to have the dedications at the various points follow the same general plan, and rela- tively the same general idea on the subject of printed pro- gram. Experience suggests that programs of events of this importance are usually long retained as souvenirs of the occasion and should be made with this end in view. A heavy cover with an eight-page insert bound with a heavy silk cord would answer. The front cover could show a description of the tablet, monument or arch to be dedicated, name of the society, village or organization erecting same, and the words. *' Dedicated under the auspices of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission," with the date of dedication. On page i. of the insert would naturally appear a repetition of what appears on the front cover. Page 2 of the insert may be devoted to a condensed his- tory of Henry Hudson, his discovery of the river, his first trip, the landings made and a short description of the " Half Moon " with, if possible, a small electrotype cut of the boat at the foot of the page. This would involve but slight expense. Page 3 of the insert may be similarly used in connection with Robert Fulton and the " Clermont " and also an electrotype cut thereof. Page 4 of the insert may be used for a full description of the monument, tablet, arch or other feature to be com- memorated with an appropriate cut of same. Page 5 of the insert, being the center of the booklet, could be used for full program of the occasion and would be opposite the description on page 4. Pages 6 and 7 miglit be used for a program describing the various features of the Celebration with a history of the Commission, and page eight have a list of the officers, etc., of the Commission and below a list of officers of the society or organization erecting the memorial and the Com- mittee in charge. The question of whether or not pro- grams for these dedications should be somewhat more elaborate than ordinary, with a view of charging a small price for same, should be left to the discretion of the local committee. Advertising on these programs should be pro- hibited. It would seem that even though a representative from the Commission be present at each of the ceremonies, such representative should not be in actual charge nor in any way assume responsibility for carrying out tlie local pro- ioo6 Minutes of Trustees gram, but should appear more in the light of lending official sanction to the occasion. While the arrangement of the numbers on the dedi- cation program should be left to the local committee per- haps the following suggestions might be in order : singing of our National Anthem the " Star Spangled Banner ;" in- vocation ; reading or singing of Kipling's magnificent " Recessional " or some other appropriate number ; un- veiling of tablet or monument (by perhaps a little girl) ; presentation by donor and acceptance by future custodian ; address on the subject of Henry Hudson with features at- tending his discovery of the river, and Robert Fulton with the features attending his operation of the " Clermont " all interwoven with a view to explaining the occasion for the Celebration and the Commemoration thereof by the erec- tion of the particular object dedicated; singing, "My Country 'Tis of Thee." The recommendations were approved and ordered printed. Half Moon Launched. In the absence of Col. Satterlee, Chairman of the Half Moon Committee, the Secretary reported that the Half Moon was run off the stocks at the Government shipyard at Amsterdam, Holland, on Thursday, April 15th. There was no public ceremony at the launching, although Baron 2E. Mackay (Minister of State and President of the Netherlands Hudson-Fulton Commission), and Professor Wilson were present. A cablegram to the New York Times says that when the last block was knocked away, " the little ship slipped gayly into the water and rode there, a graceful picture of antique naval architecture. The ship will be rigged, painted and armed with cannon of the period. It will be shipped aboard a Holland-American liner and delivered to the American committee at Sandy Hook on September 27th. The expectation is that, con- voyed by a squadron of Dutch warships, it will lead the commemorative procession." Hudson Rk'cr Scenery Bills. In the absence of a formal report from the Committee on Hudson River Scenery, the Assistant Secretary re- ported that on February 3, 1909, the Hon. Wm. M. Bennett April 28, 1909 1007 had introduced in the Assembly, and on March 17th, tlie Hon. John B. Rose had introduced in the Senate a bill entitled "An act to establish a state park in the highlands of the Hudson river as a memorial to Henry Hudson and Robert Fulton, to provide for the selection, location, appro- priation and management thereof, and thereby to preserve the natural scenery of the Hudson river." This bill pro- vides for the appointment of five persons to be known as " Commissioners of Hudson-Fulton Memorial Commis- sion." The original bill gave the Commission power to acquire land or casements therein on the west shore of the Hudson river between Jones Point Station and the north base of Storm King Mountain, and on the east shore from the first watercourse north of Roa Hook to the north base of Breakneck Ridge, extending half a mile back on either side of the river. The bill has since been amended by the Legislature so as to apply only to the west side of the river. The original bill appropriated $25,000, but the amended bill appropriates only $10,000. Illuminations in New York City. Mr. Berri, Chairman of the Committee on Illuminations reported that the project for bon fires on the mountain and hilltops along the river was progressing satisfactorily. Many signal fires were being ordered by public authori- ties and individuals, one man having ordered ten. With reference to the City of New York, the Committee believed that if the great bridges, the City Hall and four Borough Halls, and Grant's Tomb were outlined with elec- tric lights, they would not only be very beautiful in them- selves, but they would also stimulate the owners of large buildings to illuminate them, and thus produce a grand general effect. The Committee had made inquiries as to the cost of the illumination of the public structures alluded to, and had found the electric company willing to cut its rates in half. The plan would involve the employment of 3,000 or 4,000 men, and would cost about $75,000. Such an illumination, it was thought would command the ad- miration of everybody. ioo8 Minutes of Trustees The report was received and referred to the conference of certain committees to be held on Wednesday, May 5th, to consider and report. Official Invitations. The President reported that the official invitations to foreign governments, the diplomatic corps and consuls were ready for signature by the President, Chairman of the Invitation Committee and Secretary and would be des- patched during the following week. Imvood Hill Park. Mr. John E. Parsons, Chairman of the Inwood Hill Park Committee, said that he wished he could impress upon the Trustees the fact that they could be of service in bringing the park into existence by using their influence. The pres- ent, he said, is probably the last chance to save a part of Manhattan Island substantially as it was in Hudson's time. At the last meeting of the Trustees he felt somewhat dis- couraged at the outlook, on account of the apparent con- flict of three separate projects involving the taking of the property for public use in Inwood Hill. He was happy to say, however, that during the past month much had been accomplished to bring about unanimity of interests, to which end the Hon. George W. Perkins had largely con- tributed by his personal services. He hoped that be- fore long the situation would be such that the Commission could go to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment with a plan which would meet with its approval. Legal Protection of Commission's Designs. In the absence of Mr. Stetson, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Law and Legislation, the Secretary reported that at the request of the Committee, the Hon. J. May- hew VVainwright had introduced in the Senate on April 7 a bill entitled " An act to amend the penal code, in re- lation to prohibiting and punishing the unauthorized manu- facture, counterfeit or sale of any flag, medal, badge or button of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission." April 28, 1909 1009 The bill had been amended so as to apply to any celebra- tion commission ; and it was expected that it would become a law. Proposed Law Concerning "Clermont " Impracticable. It was also reported in behalf of the Committee on Law and Legislation that its attention had been called to a bill introduced in the Assembly, March 31 by Hon. E. Young of Ulster County, providing that the fac-simile of the Clermont should " stop at every landing between New York ami Albany, after it leaves the corporate limits of such City of New York, where the depth of water and other conditions are suitable and where more than 200 persons reside within a radius of one mile from such land- ing." The Chairman of the Committee had written to Assemblyman Young a courteous letter dated April 13, pointing out the impracticability of stopping the Naval Pa- rade, of whicli the Clermont would form a part, at every ])ort with a population of over 200. Lower Hudson Plans. Hie Hon. Nathan A. Warren, Chairman of the Lower Hudson Committee, presented a report outlining the ar- rangements thus far made for the ceremonies in commun- ities between New York and Newburgh as follows : Monday, October 4th : At Yonkers, Parade of Histor- ical Floats augmented by the various additional floats, es- corts of societies, civic and military bodies, etc., which the local committee may provide, assisted by the cities of Mt. Vernon and New Rochelle and the nearby villages. On Tuesday, October 5th, it is proposed to take the pa- rade of floats from Hastings, through Dobbs Ferry, Ir- vington and Tarrytown, to North Tarrytown, these villages joining in the manning of the floats for the entire day with local escorts of firemen, etc.. joined in by White Plains and nearby villages. On Wednesday, October 6th, it is proposed to parade at Nyack, joined in. by Piermont, Grand View, Lower and loio Minutes of Trustees Upper Nyack, and participated in by the villages nearby as far as Tuxedo. On Thursday, October 7th, the floats will be transferred to Ossining and liaverstraw, the parade to be participated in by Croton-on-Hudson, Scarborough, West Haverstraw and Stony Point, with nearby villages. On Friday, October Sth, the parade will be at Peeks- kill, participated in by Montrose, Crugers, Oscawana and adjacent villages. On Saturday, October gtli, it is proposed to have a river parade at Cold Spring, to be participated in by Garrisons, Highlands, West Point and nearby villages. The Committee asked for an appropriation of $25,000 and the assignment of twenty floats from the New York Parade, with the professional attaches, horses, etc. The Acting President gave the Committee informal as- surance that it would receive the amount asked for pro- vided the appropriation bill now before the Governor be- came a law ; also that the floats would be supplied. Estiiiiatc oil Cost of Medals. A letter was read from Mr. Archer M. Huntington, Act- ing Chairman of the Committee on Medals, submitting the following estimate of the committee for the various medals decided upon by the Commission. 4 inch bronze medals, 12 oz. each, 3 ga. stock, 2,000 up to 10,000, $0.95 each. 3 inch, 22 kt. gold medals, 11 oz. 4 dwt. each, in lots of 5, $235.00 each. 21-2 inch sterling silver medals, for banquet to weigh 4 oz. each, $3.50 each. $1,000 Appropriated for Medal Dies. Mr. Jaccaci moved that $1,000 be appropriated out of the Subscription Fund for the cutting of dies other than the original dies for the manufacture of the additional =izes of medals. Carried (The original appropriation of $1,000 recorded on page 710 of the minutes includes one set of dies.) April 28, 1909 loii Report of Memorials Committee. aVIr. Bergen, Chairman of the Committee on Memorials, reported that the Committee proposed to issue five pub- lications, namely, (1) a "Book of the Celebration," (2) a popular official program to sell for about 25 cents; (3) an Historical Parade Souvenir consisting of colored illus- trations and reading matter descriptive of the Historical floats; (4) a Carnival Parade Souvenir, containing similar material in regard to the carnival floats; and (5) a Sou- venir Postal Card. The " Book of the Celebration " would cost about $40,000 or $50,000. It was estimated that the receipts would be about $90,000, making the gross profits from $40,000 to $50,000. For the publication of this book, Ihe Committee asked an appropriation of $50,000. Mr. Sackett asked what the " Book of the Celebration " would contain. Mr. Bergen replied that it would contain an historical account of the two events to be celebrated and a history of each department of the celebration. The first volume would comprise about 380 pages and 32 illustrations. It would be submitted to the Trustees in manuscript form for approval before it was printed. It was voted that the report be received and referred to the conference of the Executive Committee and Plan and Scope Committee to be held on May 5th, to consider and report. Fort Tryon Tablet. Mr. Bergen presented pictures of the Fort Tryon Tablet, to be erected under the auspices of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society through the generosity of Mr. C. K. G. Billings. This tablet, which is being de- signed and made by J. & R. Lamb, will be of bronze, 11 feet, 3 inches high and 7 feet, 3 inches wide, and will be set vertically in the face of the living rock on the w^est side of Fort Washington Avenue on the site of Fort Tryon. The revolutionary fortification called Fort Tryon originally had no name. It was one of the outer works of Fort Washington, situated about six-tenths of a mile north of the IOI2 Minutes of Trustees latter Fort, on what is now the west side of Fort Wash- ington Avenue between the Hnes of 195th street and 198th street. At the time of the capture of Fort Washington by the British on November 16, 1776. the Hessian merce- naries made a terrific attack on this northern work, and af- ter a brave resistance by the Americans, captured it. Among the American artillerymen who defended this post was a Pennsylvanian named John Corbin, who was accom- panied by his wife Margaret. During the fight, Mrs. Cor- bin took a soldier's part, assisting the little detachment to clean, load and work their guns. Presently her hus- band fell, with a bullet in his breast, whereupon his wife took his place in serving the gun until she, too, fell, ter- ribly lacerated but not killed. After its capture, the post was named Fort Tryon by the British in honor of the last colonial governor. Mr. Muschenheim, who was largely instrumental in evoking Mr. Billings' gift, stated that the tablet would be ready for dedication in September. Hudson Monument. Mr. Bergen reported that the work of obtaining sub- scriptions for the Hudson monument on Spuyten Duyvil Hill was making favorable progress under Mr. Muschen- heim's direction. He said that the city had not yet taken title to the property on which the monument would stand, although it was included in the area designated for the northern approach to the bridge. An informal discussion of the project followed in which Mr. Muschenheim indicated a favorable solution of the situation. The Acting President expressed the lively ap- preciation on the part of the members of the Commission of the public-spirited action of Mr. Muschenheim in the matter. Naval Parade Arrangements. A report from Captain Miller, Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee, was presented, giving a tentative pro- gram of affairs in the jurisdiction of that Committee. It proposes that at i p. m. on .Sautrday, September 25, the April 28, 1909 1013 merchant marine and excursion boat fleet start from the harbor, and proceed up the Hudson River on the east side of the men-of-war anchored off Riverside Park. At the northern end of the hne of men-of-war the larsrer steamers will turn westward and southward, and anchor between the men-of-war and the New Jersey shore. The tugs and smaller vessels will anchor on the east side of the naval fleet ; and smaller craft will be assigned various convenient anchorages on both sides. The official pier will be at iioth street. About 3 p. m., the Half Moon and Clermont will approach with their escorts, be formally received, and take their place? in line. During the even- ing, it is proposed to have an illumination of the shores of the river and of the fleets, and that the men-of-war be circumnavigated by the fleet which surrounded them earlier in the day. It is proposed that the Half Aloon and Clermont pro- ceed to Yonkers, with suitable escort, on the morning of Wednesday, September 29th, and to a point between Tar- rytown and Ossining on Thursday, September 30th, re- maining at the latter point until the approach of the Na- val Parade on Friday, when they will join the fleet. It is proposed that the Naval Parade leave New York at 10 a. m. on Friday, October nth and arrive at Newburgh about 5 p. m. This suggestion that the fleet arrive at Newburgh as late as 5 p. m. was received with strong disfavor by the mem- bers of the Board residing at Newburgh, including Mayor McClung and Mr. McKay, who said that elaborate prep- arations were being made for the reception of the fleet and accompanying ceremonies, and that such a late arrival would be fatal to their plans. The Acting President assured them that the Naval Pa- rade Committee would endeavor to shape their program so as to conform to the Newburgh program, and to ar- range for the arrival of the faster vessels by noon if pos- ible. It was stated that the tide would be at flood at Gov- ernor's Island on October ist at 9.06 a. m., and as the tide I0I4 Minutes of Trustees was 9 hours and 31 minutes later at Albany than at Gov- ernor's Island, if the fleet would start at 8 a. m. it would have the aid of the progressively rising tide all the way to Newburgh. The subject was referred to the conference of Commit- tees to be held on Wednesday, May 5th. Nominated for Appomtment by the Mayor.

Mr. Fitch, as Chairman of the Patriotic Societies Com- mittee, reported, in part, as follows : The following societies have accepted the invitation to participate in the Historical Parade, and have selected the floats named to be manned by their members respectively : The N. Y. Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, " The Storming of Stony Point." The American IContinental Guard in their Continental uniforms will accompany that float as a guard. The Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, " Pulling down the Statue of George the Third," " Publishing the Constitution," ',' Washington's Coach." The Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York, " Washington's Farewell," "Sons of Liberty." The Sons of the Revolution will also have from 300 to 500 of their members march in the parade. It is stated to the Com- mittee, but not as yet officially reported, that the Society of the War of 1812, uniformed, will march with the Sons of the Revolution. The Committee is informed that subject to the ratifica- tion of the society, the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York has selected the float, " Peter Schuyler and the Indians at the Court of St. James," and will fur- nish a mounted body of their members for the parade. The Committee is also informed that subject to action to be taken by the body, The Washington Continental Guard in their Continental uniform will march with the float, " Washington taking Oath of Office." The Order of the Cincinnati is expected to take the float, " The Order of the Cincinnati," but the matter of their participation is still under consideration, and as far as the Committee is advised has not as yet been definitely decided. April 28, 1909 1017 It is expected that other hereditary-patriotic societies or organizations will participate in the historical parade either by marching or manning the floats, but the Commit- tee is not at the present time advised of their acceptance although it hopes to be able to name them in a future re- port. The interest of the hereditary-patriotic societies is rapitUy increasing, and the Committee expects that they will be very generally represented in the historical parade, and will make a creditable showing. The Committee is also informed that the State Camp of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, an organization that is patriotic but not hereditary or historical, will parade 300 or 400 of its members, possibly more, besides one or two guards of honor, and desires to man two or three floats. The Committee is informed that some of the de- scendants of the captors of Major Andre will man the float, " The Capture of IMajor Andre." On motion of Air. Hall, it was voted that the floats men- tioned in the report be assigned to the respective organ- izations named therein, and that the Historical Committee be given power to assign the other historical floats. Car- ried. $4,000 Voted for Public Health and Coiwenicncc. Dr. Porter, Chairman, presented a very full report of the plans for the public health and convenience during the celebration. These plans contemplate the establishment of public comfort stations by the municipal authorities; ar- rangements with store-keepers for similar accommodations, to be indicated by some conventional sign which will be generally understood ; medical emergency stations along the line of parade, with doctors and nurses in attendance and ambulances at every third station ; ambulance launches on the river ; bureaus of information in various parts of the city during celebration week ; a visitors' registration bureau ; etc. A great deal of this service will be rendered gratuitously, but it was estimated that $7,590 would be needed for unavoidable expenses. Dr. Porter asked for a preliminary appropriation of $4,000 which was voted. ioi8 Minutes of Trustees Upper Hudson Committee. Colonel Mac Arthur, Chairman of the Upper Hudson Committee, reported that the Committee had recently held an enthusiastic meeting at Newburgh, and that plans were rapidly maturing for the fetes at the principal places north of the Highlands. As soon as the appropriation bill was signed by the Governor and the Upper Hudson Committee was thereby assured of its money, the details of their plans would be worked out. Verplanck's PoUit Park. Mr. Apgar reported that the bill for acquiring land at Verplanck's Point for a State Park had passed the Assem- bly and was now on the order of the third reading in the Senate. The Verplanck's Point Park Committee had done all it could, and asked the Trustees to help them. He therefore moved that the Secretary be authorized to send a telegram to the Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Senate urging the passage of the bill. After a brief discussion participated in by the Acting President, Judge Higley, and Mr. Apgar, the motion was adopted. Appropriations by State and City. The Secretary reported for the Ways and Means Com- mittee that the bill appropriating $225,000 of State funds for the celebration had passed the Legislature and was now before the Governor awaiting his signature. He also laid before the Board a certified copy of the following resolution adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment on April 2, 1909. Resolved, that the resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen, March 9, 1909, requesting an issue of $300,000 Special Revenue Bonds, the proceeds whereof to be used by and expended under the direction of his Honor, the Alayor, and such Committees of the Board of Aldermen as may be appointed in the premises, for the purpose of meeting the expense contingent to the part that the City of New York may take in the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, to begin on Saturday, September 25, 1909, be and the same is hereby approved of and concurred in by the Board of April 28, 1909 1019 Estimate and Apportionment to the extent of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), and for the purpose of providing means therefor, the Comptroller be and is hereby authorized, pursuant to the provisions of subdi- vision 8 of section 188 of the Greater New York Charter, to issue Special Revenue Bonds of the City of New York, to an amount not exceeding two hundred and fifty thou- sand dollars ($250,000), redeemable from the tax levy of the year succeeding- the year of their issue; the proceeds of said issue of Special Revenue Bonds to be disbursed only upon claims duly audited in the Department of Fi- nance of the City of New York. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary. I020 ?Jro0klatt Qlittzfttfi* (Hmnmxtttt.

The Chairman read the following bill as passed by the Senate and the Assembly: " An act to amend an act, entitled ' An act to establish the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, and to pre- scribe the powers and duties thereof, and making an appro- priation therefor,' which became a law April 27, 1906, being Chapter 325 of the Laws of 1906. The People of the State of Nezv York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section i. Section nine of the act, entitled 'An act to establish the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, and to prescribe the powers and duties thereof, and making 1056 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee an appropriation therefor,' being chapter three hundred and twenty-five of the laws of nineteen hundred and six, is hereby amended so as to read as follows: 9. The sum of [twenty-nve thousand dollars] three hun- dred thousand dollars ($300,000) in addition to the moneys heretofore appropriated to said commission, or so much thereof, as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated out of any moneys in the treasury, not otherwise appro- priated, for the purposes of this act. Such money shall be paid by the treasurer on the warrant of the comptroller issued upon a requisition signed by the president and sec- retary of the commission, accompanied by an estimate of the expenses for the payment of which money so drawn is to be applied, of which appropriation one hundred thou- sand dollars ($100,000) is to be appropriated and ex- pended by the commission for the purposes of the celebra- tion upon the Hudson River at and northerly of the City of Newburgh. No portion of the foregoing appropriation nor of the sums heretofore appropriated which shall be allocated by the commission to any locality shall be by said locality expended for the purpose of a permanent local monument or memorial to commemorate said anni- versary ; but all moneys remaining unexpended in the hands of the local committee at the conclusion of the celebration shall be paid over to the treasurer of the commission, and the total amount remaining unexpended in the treasury of the commission shall be applied to such permanent monu- ment or memorial, subject to the approval of the legis- lature, as said commission shall recommend to the legis- lature of nineteen hundred and ten. and of the foregoing sum above appropriated twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) shall be reserved and expended by the commis- sion iipon plans and also through vouchers to be approved by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the assemblv for such of the expenses, exclusive of traveling expenses, as shall be necessarily incurred in the participation by the governor, his staff, the elective state officers and the members of the legislature in their at- tendance upon the invitation of the commission at said celebration and the exercises connected therewith. No indebtednes'i nor nlili 'nation "^hall be incurred imder this • act in excess of the appropriations herein or hereafter made, and such sums as mav be provided for said com- mission bv the ritv of New York for the purooses of this act. The commission shall as requested by the governor, from tiine to time, render him reports of its proceerlings. 2. This act shall take effect immediatelv." April 27, 1909 1057 Chairman stated he would Hke to hear from the repre- sentatives of the different locahties present as to what they Jiad done and what they expected to do. He called on the communities represented to report alphabetically. Mayor Snyder of Albany reported he had been author- ized to appoint a committee of one hundred and fifty, which he had done. At a meeting of the one hundred and fifty the Mayor authorized the chairman of the com- mittee in Albany to appoint something like twenty-six sub committees, which will make active working commit- tees of about four or five hundred people. " We are planning for a two days celebration, I had an interview with the Governor, and he has agreed to be with us on the 8th. Also extended an invitation to the President of the United States, and he replied that it was impossible for him to state at this time whether or not he could be present. We h.ave prepared a tentative plan, but I will not weary you by detailing it, but simply to show you what we have been doing." Mayor Synder said Albany would have the Half Moon and Clermont on Friday, October 8, 1909. The celebration contemplates two days, as stated before, one before the arrival of the boats and the day of the arrival. The special features are : At Steamboat Landing, Hudson-Fulton Welcome Arch. At Steamboat Landing, reproduction of Fort Orange. At State Street and Broadway, reproduction of Old Dutch Church. At State and Lodge Streets, reproduction of Fort Fred- erick. At Fagle Street, facing State Street, reproduction of Old Capitol Gates. At City Hall Square, Mastic Statue of Peter Schuyler. At the original sites, reproductions of the four city gates. At each street corner, the old names of the streets. At Union Depot, Strangers Welcome Arch. On Pearl Street, between Clinton and Madison Avenues, four arches representing four centuries. 1058 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee On Washington Avenue and State Street (either side of Capitol), Old Home Day Welcome Arches. On State Street, between Green and Eagle Streets, Hud- son INIemorial Court of Honor, eighteen columns, nine on each side of the street. Each of the above to be electrically illuminated at night. First day, Thursday, October 7, at ten o'clock in the forenoon. Parade of the Centuries. A great pageant, il- lustrative, educational, instructive, beneficial and commer- cial. In the afternoon, two o'clock, the Committee on Dedi- cations to mark all historic places and all old time streets, and to dedicate memorial, if one is decided upon ; also, at the same time, Grand Carnival of Aquatic sports on the historic Hudson River, in honor of the terminus of the voyages of Hudson and Fulton, in front of the City of Albany, under the auspices of the Committee on Aquatic Sports. All river craft decorated and both the Albany and Rensselaer shores bright with gay colors ; and in the evening, at eight o'clock, grand illuminated River Parade. Second day, Friday, October 8th, at ten o'clock fore- noon, arrival of the Half Moon and Clermont, and the Hudson Fulton Welcome Parade. At nine o'clock, the Naval Parade will take with it the whole Committee, as guests, and sail down to Van Wie's Point and meet the boats, amid the roar of cannon, blowing of whistles, etc. A crew of Indians, from this side Mo- hiiwks, from the Rensselaer side Mohicans, will paddle out in decorated canoes to escort Hudson and his crew and Fulton and his crew to Albany. All then row to the Steamboat Landing, including all the Hudson-Fulton Albany Committee. Passing under the welcome arch, the Indians escort Hudson and Fulton, with their crews, to Fort Orange, where all smoke the pipe of peace, the com- bined band playing the Holland National air. At two o'clock, afternoon, Automobile Parade, and at eight o'clock in the evening display of fireworks ; at nine o'clock in the evening, grand costumed Hudson-Fulton Ball, at State Armory. April 27, 1909 1059 Third day, Saturday, nine o'clock forenoon, departure of Half Moon and Clermont for Troy. Fourth day, Sunday, religious services in all churches in connection with the event. We expect to call a meeting of our Committee within a week or ten days and perfect our plans. F. W. Titus of Athens did not make a report. Mayor Hansen of Cohoes said: The boats will anchor on Sunday, after leaving Troy on Saturday. We will have special services Sunday, and have Monday in the nature of an Old Home Day, and a parade and other things that would fall in line in the same nature as might be laid out by other cities in the nature of this celebration. Of course, we are under rather peculiar circumstances, the plan being laid out that these boats shall not come out any further than Troy at this time, and we being left out of the original plan, but we hope to fall in line, and we feel sure that Cohoes will make a proper showing on that day if we can secure the boats coming to Cohoes. Charles A. Elliott of Catskill said: The President is not here. I am Chairman of the local Committee. The Chairman outlined the plan of the Committee, something of a tentative plan of a Home Week. The Home Week, beginning with services in churches on Sunday, and carry- ing Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday as the calendar day which has been set down as the day the Half Moon and the Clermont will be anchored at our place, in the fore- noon — the Half Moon as a celebration of its original journey, will be anchored at the mouth of the creek. This date has been set down. The details of the plan have not been worked out altogether, but our tentative plan has been arranged by our President who is not here. John H. Clarkson of Cornwall, stated that Creswell McLaughlin, the Secretary of the local Committee would give the report. INIr. McLaughlin reported as follows: There has been appointed an Executive Committee who have appointed one hundred and fifty other committees, or rather ten committees representing one hundred and fifty people, and have a plan arranged to make one of the io6o Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee largest celebrations along the Hudson river. Otie of the principal features of the exhibit in Cornwall will be the education of the children. The School Children's Festival and Lectures Committee will be one of the most important features. We rely a great deal for our information and intelligence upon the actions of Newburgh, and whatever they think is proper, we will follow — except at night. It is the intention of Newburgh to ask the co-operation of Cornwall in some of their plans. Arrangements have been made to illuminate the mountains with the largest beacon fires in the history of the United States. The fire- works from Storm King will illuminate all the shore. Newburgh cannot accommodate the 150,000 people who are coming here, and a large number will be entertained at Cornwall. We have been advised by Dr. Winter that the Sons of the Revolution are coming to Cornwall. We will have religious exercises in every church. I do not mean exercises ; exercises in the school, ceremonies in the church. There will be bands of music and parades and every- thing to make a first-class celebration in honor of the memory of Henry Hudson. I think Cornwall is one of the most important parts of your program, because it is the beginning of the show. We will send you a program in detail, if you desire it, to your home. ]\Ir. McLaughlin then read the names of those com- posing the ofiicial organization and the auxiliary com- mittees. Coxsackie was not represented. James G. Meyer of Fishkill said: "It seems to me in speaking of this Celebration that we should pay some at- tention to history, and the historic importance of the places along the Hudson, and I would remind you that during the Revolutionary War, that Fishkill was the place to which the army of Washington came; at the beginning of the Highlands, on the eastern side of this river, Lafay- ette and Steuben had headquarters, where the Order of the Cincinnati was formed, so that from a historical standpoint we should be respresented. We have not one April 27, 1909 1 06 1 liundred fifty committees of ten, and while at the present time the preparation for the celebration and the illumi- nation of the mountains may be greater at Cornwall than they are at Fishkill, I want to call your attention to the fact that several hundreds of years ago that the illumi- nation on the beacons of Ushkill was not only important, but it performed a great factor in the history of this country, and while we say that Newburgh is important, and we want to back up Newburgh, we think that the celebration from Fishkill should be in keeping." Hon. Henry Hudson of Hudson explained he did not expect to be present at the meeting, hence was not pre- pared to give a report, but would read a letter he wrote to Col. Arthur Mac Arthur outlining plans as far as the same have been f ormidated : " mayor's office, Hudson, N. Y., April 2^, 1909. Arthur Mac Arthur, Chairman Upper Hudson Coin- ■inittec, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, Troy, N. Y. ]\Iy dear sir : In reply to your request to me as Mayor of Hudson for a report, I beg to say that the City of Hud- son has not up to the present time formulated any definite plan for the celebration on the 7th of October, the day assigned to this city by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission. I feel safe, however, in speaking for the city's due recognition of tlie event, and that at an ear)y date a report will be made to your committee setting forth a programme that will be creditable to the city, an honor to your committee, the commission and the cause to be commemorated. Our people have been deeply interested in the Celebra- tion from its early inception. A number of our citizens, commissioners and city officials have taken an active part in the initiatory work of formulating the Upper Hudson organization, which has successfully accomplished its in- tended purpose of extending the Celebration to the head of navigation and assigning a day to each of the six county seats north of Newburgh, and embodied in the plan and scope of the commission and of which your committee is io62 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee now an important part. After conferring with local mem- bers of the commission it was thought best not to attempt to raise a celebration fund until it was known what ap- propriation would be made by the State through the Com- mission, and, a possible interference with the cause of our local Fire Department, who are raising a good substantial sum of money from our citizens and merchants at this time to entertain the Hudson Valley Firemen's Association which will convene in this city the week of June 14th. My term of office as Mayor of the City will expire May 1st, I bespeak for my successor in office, the able and hearty support of the people in Hudson in carrying out the programme that will be in keeping with all previous events that have been creditable to the City during the administrations of his predecessor, and that he will report to your committee such information as you may require as to the part the City of Hudson will take in the coming Celebration. My personal interest and membership will continue with the Commission and your committee until the duties are discharged entrusted to your care by the officials of the State of New York, Yours respectfully, Henry Hudson." Hon, Walter P. Crane, of Kingston, said : " We have not an extensive report. A committee has been appointed, how- ever, and I think that Committee has not formulated any definite plans. There are three members of the Committee with me to-day, and Judge Clearwater, who is Chairman of that Committee, will be able to say more than I can, as there have been several conferences at which I have not been present." Hon. A. T. Clearwater said : " Mayor Crane has ap- pointed in Kingston a very strong committee of representa- tive citizens, of which Mr. S. D. Coykendal, the President of the Cornell Steamboat Company, has a fleet of sixty-two vessels in charge. We contemplate a two days celebration. We have invited the people of Delaware County and Ot- sego County who are desirous of uniting with us, and the people of that portion of Sullivan and Schoharie which adjoins Ulster. In addition to those delightful spectacular performances which are so entertaining to large majorities. April 27, 1909 1065 of people, we hope to liave or to erect some permanent memorial, something that will be in keeping- with the im- portance of the event which the celebration commemorates. I will not trouble you with the details of the two days celebration. I regard that as unnecessary and not at all interesting. At Kingston we realize very fully that the brunt of this celebration will fall upon Newburgh outside the City of New York, and regard the appropriation made by the Legislature as very insignificant, but we realize very fully that a very important part in the celebration will have to be taken by the people in Newburgh, and that to a very large extent it will be imperative that the other places on the river north of Newburgh conform to such arrangements as to what will take place below Newburgh and at this place. We understand a very few vessels of the navy or foreign vessels will be able to go above Newburgh because of the lack of water, except to turn around in the river. Everything will depend upon what you do here — what your plans are at Newburgh. We, of course, shall act independently of you, but to a certain extent, to a con- siderable extent we shall be guided by your action here." Matteawan : See report of Fishkill. Mayor McClung, of Newburgh, said : " We appreciate, as Judge Clearwater says, that we are the pivotal spot in this celebration, and appreciate that our expenses will be met by your Committee as far as you are able. We have a committee consisting of eight members of the Commission, who have formed themselves into an Execu- tive Committee, and from that they have been sub- divided into twenty-five. We first selected our committees,, and then selected chairmen of the committees, who are best suited to fill the position as such, and subsequently selected the members of the dififerent committees, and we have, I think, some three hundred or four hundred odd members of the Committee who are all active, and they have met repeatedly. We have not been inactive at all, and there is not a single committee that has not been re- ported back to the Executive Committee, except one or two unimportant ones, and we have done everything that should 1064 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee be done, as we feel it is necessary to conform to the work of this celebration. We have followed the line of the General Commission as far as possible, that is to say, we have followed the line of the General Commission in the appointment of committees or in appointing such com- mittees as the General Commission has arranged should be additional committees and were necessary to carry out our plan and scope. We have a Ladies Committee of eighty-one odd sub-divided into fifteen or sixteen com- mittees, because we anticipate, as has been said, that we will have a large number of people here, who will have to be entertained, and the manner in which they will be enter- tained, will depend upon the Reception Committee of the Ladies Committee. The different Committees get together from time to time, and they all report detailed progress, and we are doing, as a matter of fact, a great deal of work. Our resources as you understand, are hmited. We are a small community to have so much thrust upon it, but we are gratified to have this grand celebration, and in antici- pation of what we have to provide get the State to do some- thing for us. We have not for one moment hesitated to apply every energy that is within the power of this com- mittee to get together all the work and the detailed system that is necessary to give you a celebration in Newburgh, where I know you are all coming that will merit your ap- probation. Just one word about the places north and south of us. They will have to, in a measure, take care of themselves. We have a great burden, and I am perfectly frank to admit Newburgh will have all it can do to take care of itself, and while Cornwall has been added to the Up-State Commission, or to Newburgh, and Fishkill and Matteawan have been looking toward us, in some measure, they will have to in a great degree take care of them- selves. So far as we are concerned I think this meeting will determine that we are doing our level best to make a showing equally as good as that held at any other point, and it is up to this Committee and this Commission to see that Newburgh means to make it as such, and we expect April 27, 1909 1065 to give it the best that we can with your vahiable assis- tance." Mayor Sague, of Poiighkecpsie, said: "We have organized our Committees and our progress as outhned by us is very elaborate. I want to have this flotilla from Newburgh earlier on the morning of the day that has been set for it. The celebration will last two or three days. Our illumination lends itself very admirably in the line of Poughkeepsie Bridge, beacon fires on Kaal Rock, and everything of that sort. On Monday there will be a historical and industrial parade in the morning, a school choral festival in the afternoon, and a public iiieeting at the Opera House to be addressed by Governor Hughes. We also have at this time the State Convention of the Holland Society at Poughkeepsie. We have asked the co- operation of the towns in Dutchess, and the co-operation of the Dutchess County Society of New York to have a Home Week, and we wish to have this flotilla earlier on Monday." Rhinebeck was represented by George Esselstyn, who said : " In regard to Rhinebeck, it is one of the oldest villages in the State, and has local memory that is con- nected with this celebration, which probably most of you are familiar with, and in consequence thereof there is a local patriotic pride, which has stimulated the citizens of Rhinebeck to prepare a programme of some considerable proportion whereby it may be enabled to properly greet this naval fleet and contribute its full share to the glory of this commemoration. I have a little memorandum here, which corroborates some of the statements I have made as to the local interest of the Town of Rhinebeck. Before that^ I will say that Rhinebeck is situated opposite the City of Kingston, on the banks of the Hudson, and as I understand it, this fleet will be anchored when it receives the celebra- tion that the City of Kingston will give it, about midway in the Hudson River, which will bring Rhinebeck about as near the fleet as the City of Kingston. It is the inten- tion of the Town of Rhinebeck to have a large assembly of the citizens of Rhinebeck assemble on the banks of the io66 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee river to witness this historic display. In order to do that the several firemanic associations of the village and the fraternal orders will do everything that will reflect to the credit of the old town. A committee has been appointed and efforts are being made to do everything that is neces- sary. While the several Hudson River towns are acting upon the suggestions of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, the local committee of this historic old town is arranging a grand celebration designed to commemorate the introduction of steam navigation and to honor the memory of our distinguished fellow townsman, Robert Fulton." Mr. Esselstyn then read the names of the local com- mittee. Cornelius F. Burns of Troy said: "I believe there is considerable business yet to be done, and I will not take up your time, simply to say that we will be ready. We had plenty of Indians up our way once, and we have a few left, and we will be ready to meet the occasion of a celebration of this kind." The Secretary read the following letter from William S. Massonneau, President of the Village of Red Hook: " RED HOOK, N. Y., JOtIN W. BAIN, CLERK. Red Hook, N. Y., Apr. 28, '09. Col. Arthur Mac Arthur, Chairman, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Committee. Dear Sir : Being unable to be present with you at New- burgh, to-day, I take pleasure in transmitting this, my re- port, through my friend, William P. Adams, Esq. On the day set apart for exercises in the Public Schools, our Red Hook High School will hold public exercises com- memorative of the great events we are to celebrate. On the Sunday set apart for suitable services, I will ar- range that the Churches of our Village hold union services, holding both morning and evening services, at one of which Hudson will be eulogized, and the evening services when Fulton's great achievements will be discussed. If, in your judgment, it would be advisable to attempt anything further than this, aside from urging everybody April 27, 1909 1067 to attend the public celebrations to be held in the nearby cities, I will gladly do all in my power to carry out your suggestions. I can arrange to have published in our local paper any matter you think of public interest, and care to send me. Awaiting your pleasure in the matter, I am. Yours very truly, Wm. S. Massonneau, President. Tivoli was not represented. Watervliet was not represented. President Rowe of Saugerties said : " We have not ar- ranged any plans as yet, but will be ready for the event proper." Rensselaer was not represented. The Secretary read the following letter received from President Jacob Gould Schurman : THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COAIMISSION. April 15, 1909. Hon. Arthur Mac Arthur, Chairman of the Upper Hud- son Conuiiittcc, Troy, N. Y. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 8th inst. on the subject of the operations of the General Commemorative Exer- cises Committee, of which I am Chairman, asking if the cities along the Hudson River would come under the scope of the Upper Hudson Committee of which you are Chair- man, was forwarded to me from Ithaca to New York, where I have been spending our Easter recess. I trust that the delay in replying will not cause you any incon- vience. I am now writing you from the main office of the Hud- son-Fulton Celebration Commission, after a consultation with Mr. Plall, the Assistant Secretary. So far as our Committee is concerned, we should be delighted to have your Upper Hudson Committee take charge of the Commemorative Exercises in the schools through the region within your jurisdiction. This would be in harmony with the plans of operations which our Com- mittee has adopted. Our policy is to get the local authori- ties (Mayors, Boards of Education, etc.) to take charge of the Commemorative Exercises, which, as you know, are to be held on Wednesday, September the 29th. io68 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee We have the advantage of having on our Committee the Hon. Andrew S. Draper, Commissioner of Education of the State, who has undertaken to reach every school in the State with publications in connection with the Celebra- tion; but, I feel, and in this opinion, Mr. Hall concurs, that a local committee like yours could be much more effective within the region under its jurisdiction than could be the case with our Committee which aims to awaken interest in this subject, and to guide the Celebrations in all the cities and villages of the .State. For these reasons, I have to request, on behalf of our Committee, that the Upper Hud- son Committee will kindly take charge of Celebrations by the school-children in all the cities along the Upper Hudson Valley. In order that there may be no conflict, and especially that each Committee may know what the other is doing, I also beg to request that you will forward me a list of the cities and villages and school districts in which your Com- mittee will see to it that General Commemorative Exer- cises are held on Wednesday, September 29th. There is only one other point to which I should call your attention. Our Committee has voted to award medals to pupils of high schools, one to a boy and the other to a girl, for the best essays on Hudson or Fulton, the quality of which is to be determined by the faculties of the respec- tive schools. Information regarding these medals will be sent out by the Commissioner of Education of the State. He will, of course, send this information to schools in the Upper Hudson Valley, as everywhere else. It would there- fore be necessary for your Committee to take cognizance of the action of our Committee in awarding these medals and to have the matter advertised among your schools. Per- haps you will consider, as indeed I should, that the adver- tising done by the State Commissioner of Education would be sufficient, but I specifically call the matter to your at- tention in order to show that there is a certain amount of overlapping between the work of our two Committees which cannot be altogether eliminated. In practice, how- ever. I do not expect this situation to cause any inconven- ience to eitlier Committee. Should you desire any further information about the award of these medals to school children, please consult the Hon. Andrew S. Draper, Commissioner of Education of the State. I have before me now, in the office of the Commission, the designs for these medals which are very beautiful and April 27, 1909 1069 it is the policy of our Comniittce to give the medals which the children will desire to preserve, each one, perhaps, cost- ing as much as $2.00. I sliould add that this feature of our report has been officially approved by the Commission at the meeting- of the Trustees held on March 24, 1909. I have dictated this letter but must leave the office of the Commission to attend to other business, before I shall have time to sign it. I will, however, ask Mr. Hall to look over the letter before it is sent and to sign my name for ™^* \'ery truly yours, Jacob Gould Schurman, Chairman of the General Commemorative Committee. per E. H. H. The Secretary read the following letter : 'April I, 1909. To the Chainuen of Cominiitccs: Gentlemen : In accordance with the consensus of opinion, expressed at the last meeting of the Trustees, I write to you in advance of the publication of the minutes, in order to save time, to inform you that it is the desire of the Trus- tees that there shall be only one official badge of the Com- mission, and only one official medal, and that it is desirable that neither the individual members of the Commission nor its Committees should encourage the manufacture of unofficial badges or medals for reasons which are obvious. Yours very truly, Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. The Secretary read the following letter : Hudson, N. Y., April 21, 1909. Col. Arthur ]\Iac Arthur, Troy, A\ Y.: My dear Colonel : The members of our Permanent Memorials Committee have been busy obtaining sketches, etc. to submit to the Up State Committee, but I have just received a letter from Mr. Bush-Brown of Newburgh, en- closing an excerpt from one of the dailv papers, headed, "MUST NOT USE MONEY TO ERECT MONU- MENTS," and the article goes on to state that the bill now before the Legislature appropriates $100,000 for the use of New York City, and a similar amount for Newburgh and above, together wnth $25,000 for expenses of State officers. The article then quotes from the bill as follows : " No portion of the foregoing appropriation, nor of the sums heretofore appropriated, which shall be allotted 1070 Minutes of Upper Hudson Committee by the Commission to any locality, shall be, by said locality, expended for the purpose of a permanent local monument or memorial to commemorate said anniversary; but all moneys remaining unexpended in the hands of the local committee, at the conclusion of the celebration, shall be paid over to the Treasurer of the Commission and the total amount remaining- unexpended in the Treasury of the Commission, shall be applied to such permanent monument or memorial, subject to the approval of the Legislature, as said Commission shall recommend to the Legislature of nineteen hundred and ten." If the bill passes in its present form, it absolutely pre- cludes the erection of any monuments, memorials or tablets in any of the cities along the Hudson River, unless the residents in such cities shall raise the necessary funds locally, and it also does away with our Permanent Mem- orials Committee, for there is absolutely nothing for us to do. As far as that is concerned, I do not object, but I do feel that a certain portion of the amount to be appro- priated by the State should be expended in permanent memorials, rather than that all should be expended in fire- works and pageantry. Would it not be advisable, under the circumstances, to call together the Up-State Committee so that its members can understand the full purport and meaning of the bill now before the Legislature, and take such united action as in their judgment shall be for the best interests of the communities they represent. Yours sincerely, F. J. Collier. The Secretary also read several other letters. C. F. Burns suggested that committees be appointed to take up various matters of importance. Hon. A. T. Clearwater said : " I want to tell the mem- bers of the Commission that at Kingston we do not intend to take any portion of the appropriation of our special legislation for a permanent memorial fund. A permanent memorial is so purely a local affair that whatever we erect at Kingston will be done by individual subscription. We have a local fund raised by individual subscription as a nucleus of our memorial fund ; so far as any part of this appropriation is concerned, it is intended to expend it only and solely as designed by the Legislature. I do not April 27, 1909 1071 think when I spoke before I made it sufficiently clear upon that point." Hon. A. T. Clearwater: "I move that a committee of seven be appointed by the Chair to consider this question of the distribution of the Legislative appropriation, and report to the Up-State Committee." The Cliairman : " The money appropriated by the State is appropriated to the Hudson-Fulton Commission, and this is a committee of that Commission, and the bills incurred are to be paid by the Commission. Lots of things will come up to-day wdiich ought to be referred to committees so that we will be thoroughly prepared. I want to say further that the Mayors and Presidents of Villages along the Hudson have been invited, at the request of Mr. Ridder, to meet him at eleven o'clock at tlie Tribune Building. Governor Hughes has very kindly placed at the disposal of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration his time during the two weeks, and in order that he may have a properly arranged calendar of days, he has invited the gentlemen wdio rep- lesent the cities along the River to meet Mr. Ridder to- morrow to arrange for that calendar, and Mr. Ridder can present to the Governor just what the Executive Com- mittee will want." Judge Clearwater : " I modify my motion so as to cover the ground that you appoint committees on the matter of the distribution of the appropriation to the general Conmiission. You can thrash that out in the general meet- ing. I think that a committee of that character will be helpful, and I make my motion to cover that ground." W. Johnston McKay : " In seconding his original motion, I would like to say that the important part of the w^ork of this Commission is held up because not one of the different localities knows the amount of money they will receive. If this Committee will be appointed, the others can take their time. Let each community present its claim ; let this Com- mittee decide and recommend to the Commission in New York whatever is decided on, and the amount of money will be appropriated for the locality of the people who have 1072 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee made the claim. That is the most important work of this Committee at the present time." C. F. Burns : " We do not know whether or not we have a right to appropriate this money. I think the amendment offered by Judge Clearwater is all right be- cause after the conference, the Chairman of the Up State Committee will know what our position is. It matters not whether this Committee is appointed to-day. We have gone on like this before and g'ained nothing, but after this conference to-morrow, we will then know where we are at, and if we leave the Committee or the Chairman with power to appoint such committee as he seems fit to act on the matter, we will have a clearer understanding of the Commission." W. Johnston McKay : " I have attended all but two of the meetings of the General Committee and the Board of Trustees, and I am in a position to say that they will do whatever the Upper Hudson Committee want them to." Chairman : " I want to ask you as Chairman of the Naval Committee, do you expect any money out of the appropriation to this Committee?" W. Johnston McKay : " There is an appropriation of $50,000, which will take care of the Naval Parade from New York to Albany, for the Commission who are afloat, and when they come to Newburgh, Newburgh must, of necessity, give out of the amount which we receive from the appropriation enough to defray the expenses of the distinguished guests, and anything which is done in this direction north of Newburgh must be taken care of by the committees, but we have agreed to assume $2,000, with which the floats will be sent to Lake Champlain." Mayor McClung: " Wlien we arrive in New York to- morrow, we will be confronted with a proposition of how much do the different localities require, and then deduct anything that might be necessary for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, and it appears to me that we will be in a better position to state our claims if we go before a com- mittee that you might appoint, because we are going down there to-morrow, and after the interview with the Gov- April 27, 1909 1073 ernor. at the meeting- with the Main Committee, we are going- to be asked wdiat we want or what we will require." W. Johnston McKay: "We want the committee ap- pointed now. A committee should be appointed, and we could hear from them at least. I do not think the delay- will gain anything for us. We delayed twice before ; why delay again? We are in a position to go ahead now. We have a report representing almost every city and village that has a claim against any committee." The Chairman: " My one idea that I had was that these minutes should be written and consideration given to all the suggestions made here before any attempt is made to appropriate. There might not be enough money to g'et over it." Hon. A. T. Clearwater : " This is the first of May sub- stantially. Every member of the Up-State Committee is a busy man. The question of the division of this appro- priation is a very important and imperative one, and it seems to me that the naming of the committee to-day, if the Chair will appoint a time and place for the com- mittee to hear what each locality has to say. is what we need. I do not see anything of importance to be gained by writing out the minutes and sending them around to the representatives of the various cities, as we have all heard what has been said, and a committee can hear quickly and without delay, and decide what is to be done. I renew my motion that the Chairman appoint a committee of seven, which will hear the request of the various places along the Hudson as to what apportionment is desired, and that the Committee, after due deliberation, shall so report to this Committee." Motion seconded by W. Johnston McKay. Henry Kohl : " I amend that motion by saying that a committee of seven should be appointed at once, and that they get together in executive session, and hear the claims of those cities and villages represented here, so that they might make a report to-morrow, if it is necessary, in New York, saying what the various cities and villages desire in this regard, so as to get some idea froni the people in I074 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee Newburg-h as to whether or not they think it sufficient. If we do this, and have the committee appointed at once, so that the people can be heard upon this question, then you win be in shape to say definitely what is wanted." Mayor Sague seconded amendment. C. F. Burns : " We want to get away from tying- our- selves up. We did this in the start. You do not know where you are at to-day. Six or seven places are not in the tentative program prepared by the Commission. Let us go down to New York, and find out where we are at; let us find out if the program is going to be extended. A meeting has been called to-morrow and we will meet Mr. Ridder for the purpose of discussing a tentative plan from the people up the State." W. Johnston McKay : " There is no doubt in the minds of anybody present as to what they expect us to do. They will expect that we will take the $100,000, and we will use that as the different committees require. They sent up their Assistant Secretary to Poughkeepsie, and he told you whatever you would do would be satisfactory to the Commission. At the meeting to-morrow we will be confronted with the question as to what has been agreed upon by ourselves, and you will not know, and they will say go back and find out, and another thirty days will be lost. A committee should be appointed at the earliest possible moment to hold a meeting, and let each representative of a county go in and present his claim, and report back." W. J. McKay : " I move that the Chair be allowed to select a committee consisting of seven persons, one from each county, and that they get busy at once, and make a report." Carried. The Chairman appointed the following Committee : Judge Clearwater, Chairman, Ulster County; Mayor Mc- Clung. Orange County; C. F. Burns, Rensselaer County, Mr. Elliot, Greene County; Mayor Snyder, Albany County ; Mayor Sague, Dutchess County ; F. J. Collier, Columbia County. April 27, 1909 1075 F. J. Collier : " I wrote the letter to you which has been read here to-day. It seems to me eminently proper at this time to state that the members of the Permanent Memorial Committee have conferred relative to the situation that has arisen from the Act of the Legislature, and are perfectly willing to continue for the purpose of procuring sketches of a tablet or a monument, and such other designs for permanent memorials as may be thought best, and submit same to the various localities along the Hudson River, with the idea that those localities that think favorably of the sketches submitted may raise necessary funds among the citizens to secure this tablet. One of my reasons for making this statement at the present time is that this Com- mittee has already gone ahead and secured the services of Mr. Henry K. Bush-Brown, who has made sketches, and we would like very much to have permanent memorials in some of the cities along the Hudson, and if two or more of the cities should decide to secure the same tablet, or a tablet of similar design, the cost would, of course, be consider- ably less. Mr. Bush-Brown has stated to me this after- noon that he has a tablet that contains the heads of Hud- son-Fulton, and also has designs of the Half Moon and the Clermont, and that the tablet will be about six feet long and four feet wide, and will cost about $i,ooO', pro- vided there are four or more cities that desire to have such a tablet, and if three or more cities decide to have a statue of Henry Hudson, it can be secured for about $2,500 apiece, whereas if a city goes ahead alone, it might cost $4,000 or $5,000 for the monument. If the repre- sentatives of the various cities desire figures they can be obtained.'' Mr. Collier also stated he would endeavor to ascertain further in regard to the Memorial Committee so as to ob- tain something desirable and permanent in the line of monuments, etc. General Wiley : " I ask that the Chairman be empowered to name such committees, to-day, or within two or three days, as he thinks necessary." 1076 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee Chas. F. Cossum : " I suggest now that each Committee be called by the Chairman, and that a Chairman be named so that he can be the recipient of all communications." W. L. Hutchins : '" And that the report be distributed to local committees, and have recorded here the names of the Executive Committee." The following were selected as Chairmen of Local Com- mittees : Benj. McClung, Newburgh, N. Y. John H. Clarkson, Cornwall-on-Hudson. I. J. Justus, Fishkill. Mayor Hanson, Cohoes. F. Titus, Athens. A.

The President presented the following Annual Report: To the Members of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Com- mission: The Annual Report of your President at this meeting must of necessity be more a matter of form than of substance, for two reasons : The first reason is that on account of your President's absence abroad during the winter, the most appropriate per- son to give you a review of the Commission's operations is he who has so ably presided over and guided your trans- actions during the past six months, Acting President Ridder. I want to take this occasion, upon resuming my functions as President, not only most cordially to greet the members of the Commission and to thank you for the courteous in- dulgence with which you have continued me as President during my absence ; but also to pay my very high tribute to the ability, energy, good judgment, and public spirit with which Mr. Ridder has assisted in bringing the preparations for our great Celebration to their present well-advanced and satisfactory stage. The second reason why you need no extended report on this occasion is that through the practice wisely adopted by the Trustees from the very beginning of the Commission, the official minutes have regularly been sent to all members of the Commission and you are therefore already well in- formed of the progress made in the preparations. As you are aware, the State and the City of New York have made generous financial provision for this great festi- val. Assuming that the bill recently passed by the Legisla- ture is signed by the Governor, the total of the appropria- tions by the State will be $475,000. The City has provided $250,000. In seeking from the State and City only a part of the funds required, and in refraining from asking the Federal Government for any appropriation whatever, the Commission has confidently counted upon the local pride, patriotism and public spirit of the private citizens to meet the requirements for an adequate celebration worthy of this great and wealthy Metropolis. May 5, 1909 1079 In a few days an opportunity will be given to the citizens of New York to contribute to a subscription fund to com- plete the funds required. The Celebration has been planned upon a scale commen- surate with the importance of the events to be commemo- rated and of the people celebrating them, and promises to be the most brilliant of its kind ever held in this country. The Commission is to be congratulated upon having planned to make it so largely educational. The great parades on land and water, with their historical tableaux and with their remarkable evidences of our material, political, social and commercial development, wdll be living books of history. The local celebrations in the cities and villages along the river north of New York will in a similar way be of the greatest interest and educational value. The literary exer- cises to be held in this City and in the Universities, Col. leges and Public Schools throughout the State, and the extraordinary exhibitions to he held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural His- tory, the New York Historical Society, and other similar institutions will give a stimulus to learning and art such as we have never had at one time in the history of our State. As stated in the introduction to our historical pamphlet, knowledge of the history of a City, or a State, or a Nation, conduces to love of country, civic pride and loyalty to estab- lished institutions. It serves to bind a people together, to make it more homogeneous and to give it stability. It makes the inhabitants better citizens and promotes the wel- fare of the commonwealth. No State in the Union has in its traditions more than New York has to inspire the pride of its people; and when we consider the fact that over twenty-six per cent of its population has come from foreign shores and over thirty-three per cent more was born here of foreign parents, it is not possible to estimate the far-reaching value of a great educational commemoration such as it is the aim of this Commission to hold. This Celebration is destined to leave in the hearts and minds of the 8,000,000 people of this State an influence for good which will last long after the outward and formal ceremonies shall have ended ; and the members of this Com- mission will find the reward for the sacrifices of valuable time which they are now making in the satisfaction to be derived from having performed a great public service. Respectfully submitted, Stewart L. Woodford President. The report w-as received and ordered printed in the minutes. io8o Minutes of Commission The President's Appreciation of Mr. Ridder's Work. In addition to tliis formal report, the President said that he wished to thank Mr, Ridder most heartily for all he had done and to emphasize what his report said in regard to him. He said he thought that the Commission had bene- fited by his own absence and that he could not have begun to do what Mr. Ridder had done. He wished to express his sincere appreciation of Mr. Ridder's work, and to ap- prove all he had done, and he hoped that Mr. Ridder would continue his valuable assistance. The President's remarks were heartily applauded. Mr. Ridder replied, saying, in substance : " You are always very polite, Mr, President. I feel that what you have said proceeds more from your great courtesy than from my deserts. What has been done has been the work of many, but I seem to have the knack of going in and getting the credit." (Laughter and applause.) Treasurer's Annual Report. Mr. Seligman, the Treasurer, read the following Annual Report : To the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission : Chap- ter 325 of the laws of 1906 incorporating this Commission appropriated $25,000 for the purposes of the Act. Twelve thousand five hundred dollars of this amount lapsed and was covered into the State treasury. The balance $12,500 was disbursed for various expenditures up to January 29th, 1909. Chapter 466 of the laws of 1908 appropriated the sum of $162,500 of which amount $43,519.20 has been disbursed up to date. In addition to the foregoing receipts and disbursements we have received $183.80 interest on deposits which we have remitted to the State Treasurer. The total amount received in the Subscription Fund to date is $1,929.34 while the disbursements charged to this account are $2,352.16 leaving a balance due our Bankers of $422.82. Respectfully submitted, Isaac N. Seligman, Treasurer. May 5, 1909 108 1 Appointed by the Mayor. The Secretary read a letter dated May 4, from the Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Mayor of New York, communica- ting the appointment of the Hon. Elihu Root, Mr. Henry W. Taft, and Col.

Mr. Samuel Parsons, Chairman of the Children's Festi- vals Committee, described very fully the plans of that Com- mittee for children's festivals and general commemorative exercises in the public schools of New York City. May 5, 1909 1085 After a general discussion of the subject, Mr. Ridder, moved : That $50,000 be appropriated to the Children's Festivals Committee for children's festivals and general commemo- rative exercises in the public schools of New York City, this appropriation to cover everything arranged both in- doors and outdoors. Carried unanimously, $58,000 Appropriated for Illuminations. Mr. Berri, Chairman of the Committee on Illuminations, presented the plans of that Committee requiring an ex- penditure of $75,000 for certain signal fires along the Hud- son River and a general illumination during the week in New York City. There was a very general discussion of the various features of the proposed illumination. Gen. Woodford said that in his estimation the most edu- cational feature of the celebration would be the Children's festivals ; the most brilliant would be the illuminations. He favored a liberal appropriation for the latter. Mr. Curtis referred to the illumination of the Champs Elysee in Paris at the time of the automobile parade in 1907 and said that it was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life. He favored a generous apportion- ment of funds for this feature in New York. Mr. Ridder, Mr. Seligman, Captain Miller, Dr. Kunz, Mr. Hall, and others participated in the discussion. Mr. Ridder moved that $10,000 be appropriated for the illuminations on the Hudson river south of Newburgh. Carried unanimously. Mr. Ridder moved that it was the sense of the meeting that the City Hall, the four borough halls, Grant's Tomb, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in Riverside Park, the Washington Arch, and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in Brooklyn be illuminated. Carried. Mr. Ridder moved that a sum not exceeding $48,000 be appropriated for illuminations other than the illuminations of the Hudson river which is provided for above and the io86 Minutes of Executive Committee illumination of the line of march which has not been pro- vided for. Carried unanimously. Illumination of Line of March, etc. On motion of Mr. Ridder it was voted that the Chair- man of the Naval Parade Committee and the Chairman of the Committee on Illuminations confer concerning- the illumination of the river opposite Riverside Park; and that the Chairman of the Illuminations Committee report at the next meeting- of the Trustees not only on that subject, but also on the illumination of the line of march. Appropriation for Publications Referred zvith Pozver. Mr. Bergen, Chairman of the Committee on Memorials, laid before the meeting the plans for publications and asked for an appropriation of $50,000. ]\Ir. Sackett called the attention of the Memorials Com- mittee to the fact that every enterprising newspaper in town was preparing to get out a special publication at the time of the celebration, and that the official publications of this Commission would not be without their competitors. It was suggested that this fact be taken into consideration in estimating sales of the official publications. After a general discussion participated in by Mr. Bergen, Mr. Berri and Mr. Ridder, it was voted that the report be received with thanks, and that the subject be referred to the Memorials Committee and the officers of the Commis- sion with power. $27,000 Appropriated to Naval Parade Committee. Captain Miller reported the arrangements of the Naval Parade Committee which were also discussed in detail. Upon motion of Mr. Ridder, it was unanimously voted to appropriate $7,000 for the construction of a bridge over the New York Central Railroad tracks opposite the official landing opposite Riverside Drive. It was also unanimously voted that the President be authorized to make a contract for four large steamboats for the official use of the Commission on Friday, October I, at a cost not to exceed $20,000. May 5, 1909 1087 Captain Miller Appointed Chairman of Naval Parade Committee. It was moved to recommend to the President of the Commission that he appoint Captain Miller, heretofore Vice-Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee, as Chair- man of that Committee. Carried. The President thereupon appointed Captain Miller as Chairman of the Committee. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary.

" The celebration will be in charge of a commission con- sisting- of four hundred prominent citizens appointed by the Governor of New York. The officers of this com- mission, comprising twenty-one of the leading citizens of New York City, have sent to my Government, with a re- quest that it be delivered through the diplomatic channel^ an invitation addressed to the Government of to be represented at the celebration ' by its official representative and a vessel of its navy.' " Under the instructions of my Government I have the honor to transmit the invitation to you with the expression of my Government's hope that the Government of may find it convenient to accept it.

We have, however, taken the necessary steps for the matter in cjuestion and I hope to be able to send you sufficient data in about a month's time, together with various photos of the vessel.

(Signed) N. Taylor Phillips, Secretary. Prhe ]\Iedals for High Schools and Academics. The Secretary laid before the Committee the following circular letter which has been sent by the Hon. Andrew S. Draper, State Commissioner of Education to the principals of High Schools and Academies throughout the State. STATE OF NEW YORK EDUCATION DEPARTMENT commissioner's ROOM. Albany, April 26, 1909. To Principals of High Schools and Academics: The Education Department is planning a bulletin for the use of the schools of the State upon the Hudson-Fulton celebration which will be issued the latter part of May. The formal exercises of the celebration will extend from September 25 to October 9, 1909. Wednesday, Sep- tember 29th, is to be Educational day, and it is hoped that all the schools will hold exercises at that time. The Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, through its General Commemorative Exercises Committee, of which President Schurman of Cornell University is chairman, authorizes me to announce that the commission will award I094 Minutes of Executive Committee two medals to each high school and to each academy in the State, for the best essays on the discovery of the Hud- son river or of the application of steam to navigation thereon, one medal to be awarded to a boy and one to a girl, in each school. These essays are to be not more than three thousand Avords in length, and are to be presented in the handwriting of the author to the principal of the school. The principal is to determine the award and certify the name of the winners, to the Commissioner of Education not later than September 25, 1909. It is sug- gested that public announcement of the winners be made at the exercises on Wednesday, September 29th. Principals are to determine all matters of detail not mentioned here. Very truly yours, (Signed) A. S. Draper, Commissioner of Education. Death of Mr. Marshall and Mr. Callanan Announced. The Chairman stated that it was his painful duty to announce the death on May 5th of Mr. Pierre H. Marshall. Captain Miller offered the following resolution : Whereas, in the death of Mr. Pierre Holly Marshall, this Commission has lost the services of an active and patriotic member: New York a citizen whose life was devoted to her development, and the community one whose family for several generations has been identified with the progress of our merchant marine, therefore be it Resolved, that this Commission spread upon its minutes its appreciation of Mr. Marshall's civic and Christian ex- ample, and that a copy of this preamble and resolution be forwarded to his relatives as an expression of sympathy for the bereavement which has fallen to them. The resolution was unanimously adopted. The President said that it was also his sad duty to announce the death of Mr. John Hoyt Callanan of Schenec- tady who was killed on May 12th by the premature ex- plosion of a blast of dynamite in a stone quarry operated by the Callanan Road Improvement Co. near the village of South Bethlehem, eleven miles southwest of Albany. Appointments to Commission Declined. The Secretary reported that he had received letters from Mr. A. E. Johnson, Mr. John Lee, Mr. James McCrea, May 19, 1909 1095 Mr. Charles S. Aiellen and Mr. Charles H. Phelps, declin- ing- their appointments as members of this Commission. Counnittcc Changes.

Mr. Ridder reported that His Honor, the Mayor of New York, had appointed a Citizens' Committee of the Borough of Richmond, consisting of about 200 members whose names will be found appended to these minutes. Mr. Ridder stated that the Committee would meet for org-anization in the Borough Hall at St. George, S. I. on Monday, May 24th, at 8 p. m. Nominated for Appointment by the Mayor. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Committee on Nominations, presented a report recommending to the Mayor for ap- pointment on this Commission the following named gentlemen. Mr. Russell Benedict of the Brooklyn Celebration Com- mittee, 104 Buckingham Road, Flatbush, Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. William Temple Emmett, Chairman of the Irish Societies for the Historical Parade, 52 Wall Street, New York. Mr. William C. Demorest, 60 Liberty Street, New York. Hon. Jacob A.

Mr. Fitch moved that the report be received and recom- mendations adopted. Carried. OMcial Landing Place. Mr. Ridder reported that on May 7th the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the City of New York appropriated $32,000 for the purpose of constructing a mooring place for the historic Half Moon and Clermont and an official landing place at a place to be selected on the Hudson river shore on Manhattan Island. $1,000 Voted for Manhattan Citizens' Committee. Upon motion of Mr. Ridder, at the request of the Hon. Joseph H. Choate, Chairman of the Manhattan Citizens' Committee, $1,000 was voted for the expenses of that Committee. J Expenditures Authorised for Medals. Mr. Huntington recapitulated the estimate for official medals presented by the Coinmittee on Medals to the meet- ing of the Trustees held April 28th, (see page loio) and gave further information concerning the manufacture of the medals. Mr. Stetson said that he had been concerned from two standpoints in regard to the medals : As Chairman of the Committee on Law, he had secured the enactment of a law by the Legislature of the State of New York to pro- tect the design of the medal from imitation. As Chairman of the Banquet Committee, he was interested in the use of the medal as a souvenir of the official banquet. The medal, if it is used as a banquet favor, could not be the bronze medal made for general distribution. The question therefore arose what number and what varieties of medals should be manufactured. The Committee on Medals had May 19, 1909 1097 recommended three kinds, namely, a three-inch gold medal costing $235.00 apiece, a four-inch bronze medal costing 95 cents and a two and one-half-inch sterling silver medal costing $3.50 apiece. With regard to the gold medal, it was at first proposed to have three copies struck, one for the King of England, in which country Henry Hudson was born, one for the Queen of The Netherlands, from which Henry Hudson sailed, and one for the Presi- dent of the United .States. To these three it was proposed to add a fourth for the President of the French Republic in which Fulton conducted his first experiments in steam navigation. He therefore moved that four gold medals for presentation be struck at the expense of the Commission. Mr. Ridder said he thought that all nations should be treated alike and that no discrimination should be shown in giving them medals. Gen. Woodford stated that as a matter of diplomatic etiquette these medals would have to be delivered to the recipients through the proper diplomatic channel and there- fore that it would be inappropriate to present them at the banquet. Mr. Ridder moved as a substitute for Mr. Stetson's mo- tion that a gold medal be presented to the President of the United States and to the head of every foreign Govern- ment which sends a warship to the Celebration and that the necessary appropriation therefor be hereby made. Mr. Stetson accepted Mr. Ridder's substitute and the motion was unanimously carried. Mr. Stetson moved that 2^ inch sterling silver medals be provided for each person at the official banquet and that they be sold by the Commission to the Banquet Committee at cost. Carried. Mr. Stetson moved that notice be sent to every member of the Commission, the Borough Citizens' Committees and Aides to the effect that they will be permitted to sub- scribe for silver medals at cost ; that the medal for each member of the Commission be a four-inch sterling silver medal with the name of the Commissioner struck thereon, and that the medal for the members of the Borough 1098 Minutes of Executive Committee Citizens' Committees and for the Aides of the Commission be sterhng silver medals two and one-half -inches in diameter; that the notice provided for in this resolution be not sent out until further order ; that the number of medals necessary to meet the requirements of this resolu- tion be struck and that the amount of money necessary therefor be hereby appropriated. Carried. The question of the striking- of the bronze medals for general distribution was referred back to the Committee on Medals with the request that it recommend at a future meetino- a method of sale. ^t> $1,000 Voted for the Brooklyn Committee. Col. Ogden, Chairman of the Brooklyn Committee, pre- sented the following report: May 19, 1909. To the Hudson-Fulton Commission: Gentlemen : The Brooklyn Committee respectfully sub- mit the following for you consideration : We require for the establishment of headquarters for rent May 17 to October i, $500.00. This is payable in advance on account of low rent which we have obtained. For additional clerk hire, i, at $50.00 per month. For the decoration of the shore drive road, 2^ miles in length for Saturday afternoon, Sept. 25th, the com- mencement of the Celebration, the erection of two wind- mills with tower $10,000 each $20,000 00 One Weeping Tower 8,000 00 One Tepee 3>ocx) 00 $31,000 00 Yours respectfully, Willis L. Ogden, Chairman. Mr. Ridder moved to appropriate $1,000 for the expense of the Brooklyn Committee. Carried. Mr. Ridder moved that the portion of the report refer- ring to the wind-mills, Weeper's Tower and Tepee be re- ferred to the Plan and Scope Committee. Mr. Stetson said that the proposition for the erection of these stationary structures did not commend itself to May 19, 1909 1099 his judgment. With the exception of the official landing, no moneys had yet been a])propriated for any stationary structures. He thought that if the citizens of Brooklyn, or of Manhattan, or of any other borough desired sta- tionary structures of this sort, they should pay for them, and not ask the Commission to do so. Col. Ogden thought it would be inexpedient and im- practicable to have the funds subscribed by the different boroughs set aside for their special use. He had been assured that everything was to go into a common fund and that proper consideration would be shown to Brooklyn. After some informal discussion, Mr. Ridder's motion to refer was carried. Manufacture of Official Flags Authorized. Mr. Ames, Acting Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Posters, presented the question of the method to be pursued in the manufacture of the official flag and the subject was generally discussed by Mr. Stet- son, Mr. Fitch, Dr. Kunz, Mr. Berri and Capt. Miller. In the course of the discussion, it was suggested that the most practicable way of handling this subject was tO' per- mit any firm of flag manufacturers to manufacture the flag- provided it would comply with the specifications pre- scribed by this Commission. Mr. Stetson inquired what value the copyright would be under such conditions. It was explained that the value of the copyright was that the copyright privilege to manufacture would be granted only to such firms as would agree to comply with the specifications, and furthermore it would protect the flag from advertisements. Mr. Ames stated that in the Lewis and Clarke Exposition, the flag was not copyrighted and the result was that unscrupulous firms copied it and placed upon it their advertisements. At the conclusion of the discussion it was voted that the copyright privilege to manufacture the official flag of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission in accordance with specifications to be furnished by the Commission, be granted iioo Minutes of Executive Committee to any iirm of tiag" manufacturers, duly approved by the Commission, which will comply with the specifications. Mr. Ames also asked the pleasure of the Committee in regard to the printing of the official poster, which had already been designed. The subject was discussed by Mr. Ridder, Mr. Berri, Mr. Sackett, Capt. Miller and Mr. Stetson. Mr. Berri suggested that some responsible lithographic company would undertake to issue these without expense to the Commission provided a suitable space were provided on the poster for the advertisement of a railroad or other business concern. Dr. Kunz suggested that in granting the privilege to place advertising on the poster, not only the space occu- pied by the advertisement but also the size of the printing should be limited in the specifications. Mr. Stetson moved that the subject of the poster be referred back to the Committee with the request that it report further along the lines suggested. Mr. Ames also asked instructions in regard to the manu- facture of badges ; and in the general discussion whicli ensued it developed that the actual design of the badge had not yet been submitted to the Trustees. The subject was therefore referred back to the Committee with request that it report its design. $12,000 Voted to the Committee on lUuminations. Mr. Berri, Chairman of the Committee on Illuminations, showed photographs and gave a verbal description of the plans of the Committee for illuminating the bridges, the line of march and other features of the Celebration. It was voted that the sum of $12,000 in addition to the $58,000 appropriated by the Executive Committee on May 5th be appropriated for the use of the Committee on Illuminations. Appeal for Popular Subscriptions. Mr. Ridder, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, reported that on Monday, May 17th, the following May 19, 1909 iioi circular letter was sent to a large number of citizens of New York, inviting subscriptions for the Celebration. Dear Sir : The Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, appointed by the Governor of the State of New York and the Mayor of the City of New York, invites you to con- tribute to a Citizens' Fund to be applied to the celebration, next Fall, of the Ter-centenary of the discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609 and the Centen- ary of its first successful navigation by steam by Robert Fulton in 1807. It is desired to raise $500,000. Under another cover we are sending you a pamphlet entitled " Hudson and Fulton '' which, besides showing the historical significance of the two great events to be commemorated, will give you a general outline of the plans for the Celebration. The preparations for the execution of these plans are now so far advanced that the Commis- sion confidently looks forward to the most brilliant cele- bration of its kind that has ever been seen in this country. Towards the expenses of the celebration the State and Municipal Governments have made liberal appropriations ; but in asking from these sources only a part of the requis- ite funds, and in refraining from asking the Federal Government for any appropriation whatever, the Com- mission has confidently counted upon the local pride, patriotism and public spirit of the private citizens to meet the requirements for an. adequate celebration worthy of this great and wealthy Metropolis. Eleven years ago, preparations were begun for the Cele- bration of Municipal Consolidation, but they were termin- ated by the unhappy interruption of the friendly relations of a foreign power. In this auspicious year of peace and prosperity, it is appropriate that as we commemorate the third centenary of the opening of this region to civilization, our united city should rejoice in the superb achievements of the intermediate centuries during which New York has pointed the way in steam navigation and become the " mart of nations. . . the crowning City, whose merchants are princes, whose traf^ckers are the honorable of the earth." We therefore appeal to you in the name of the Naviga- tor who made our harbor and river known to the world ; in the name of the Pioneer Inventor who laid_ the founda- tion for our great water-borne commerce; and in the name of the Genius of our people in every walk of life which has made New York the Second City of the World, to lend vour substantial aid to the suitable Celebration of our II02 Minutes of Executive Committee Historical Festival. Such portion of the funds thus raised as are not expended on the educational features of the commemoration will be devoted to a permanent memorial. Are you a New Yorker? Do you not wish to make a special effort for New York ? If so, please make your check payable to Isaac N. Selig- man, Treasurer, and forward it to him at No. i William Street, New York, and your contribution will be formally reported to the Trustees and recorded in the official printed minutes of the Commission. Stewart L. Woodford, President. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Joseph H. Choate, Chairman Citizens' Committee. Keel cf the Clermont Laid. Capt. Miller reported that on Friday, May 14th, the keel of the Clermont was laid by the Staten Island Ship- building Co. and that the work of construction was pro- gressing satisfactorily. Captain Miller made a brief statement in regard to the requirements of the Naval Parade Committee, but owing to the lateness of the hour, further discussion was post- poned until the next meeting. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Edward Hagaman Hall, Secretary. Assistant Secretary. II03 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting May 26, 1909.

Captain Miller, Chairman of the Naval Parade Com- mittee, presented a detailed estimate of the rec|uirements of the Naval Parade Committee, amounting- to $68,969, and a verbal explanation of additional requirements for the entertainment of crews of foreign men-of-war, making the total request of the Committee on Naval Parade, $72,000. In explaining the various items, he spoke of the im- portance of the initial day of the celebration, Saturday, iio8 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting September 25th. He said that the figures in his estimate had been gone over very carefully by himself, as a sea- faring man, and v/ith the Presiding Vice-President, Mr. Ridder, and with the Committee on Naval Parade. He spoke of the necessity of providing for the commissary stores for the men-of-wars men and naval militia, who will give their time for a week to this event. He also ex- plained the various other items, including the building of the Clermont, the chartering of steamers, the purchase of flags, the fireworks on Saturday, September 25th, the con- struction of bridge at the official landing place, the hiring of musicians, the purchase of medals, clerical services, etc. He said that the estimate was the result of careful study and thought, and he trusted that the amount would be allowed to the Committee. The subject was generally discussed by Mr. Ridder, Dr. Kunz, and others. Mr. Ridder suggested that the $5,000 included in this estimate for illuminations be taken out and included in the appropriations for the Illuminating Committee. At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr. Ridder moved that all previous appropriations for the Naval Parade Com- mittee be cancelled, and that in lieu thereof an appropria- tion of $67,000 be made to the Naval Parade Committee. The motion was carried unanimously. $5,000 Appropriated for Illuminations. Mr. Ridder then moved that $5,000, in addition to previous appropriations, be made to the Committee on Illuminations. The motion was unanimously carried. Bills Approved for Payment. In presenting the budget of bills for approval for pay- ment, the Assistant Secretary asked the opinion of the Trustees as to the method of paying the Metropolitan Museum of Art the $15,000 appropriated toward its Hud- son-Fulton art exhibit and catalogue. He said that it would be more convenient for the Museum if the money could be paid in instalments of $5,000 each. The Museum is a public institution, and he understood that the City of May 26, 1909 1 109. New York pursued a similar course with respect to its payment of public funds to that institution. Dr. Kunz moved that the Treasurer be authorized to pay to the iNIetropolitan Museum of Art the first $10,000 of its appropriation in two payments of $5,000 each, the pay- ment of the second instalment not to be made until an accounting- had been had for the disbursement of the first instalment. The motion was carried. The following bills were then approved for payment, subject to examination and approval by the Auditing Com- mittee : Bills previously authorized and paid and not yet pre- sented to the Trustees : A.

Mr. Ridder, referring to the presentation of bills for ap- proval, stated that the Commission had established a very careful system of audit and requested the Treasurer, Mr. Seligman, to explain it for the benefit of the Trustees. The routine of payment was then described as follows : Bills are first rendered to the headquarters of the Com- mission, endorsed with the approval of the persons con- tracting them. They are then made out on regular voucher forms and presented to the Trustees for their approval. They are then sent to the three members of the Auditing 1 1 12 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Committee, namely, Judge Higley, Commissioner McCar- roll and Deputy Comptroller Phillips, who in turn sepa- rately examine them and sign the vouchers. Deputy Comp- troller Phillips, Chairman of the Auditing Committee, makes affidavit to each of them. The bills then go to the President and Secretary of the Commission and are in turn examined and signed by them. Bills involving the payment of salaries are sent to the State Civil Service Commission at Albany for certification. Bills involving the purchase of furniture are in a similar way sent to the State Prison Commission for certification. When the bills are all duly approved and in order, they are sent to the payees to be receipted. Upon return of the receipted vouchers to this Commission, checks, signed by the Treas- urer and countersigned by the President, are sent to the payees, respectively. The funds for the payment of these checks are advanced by our bankers, J. & W. Seligman & Co. Tlie original vouchers are then collated and sent to the State Comptroller with a requisition for their amount- In the State Comptroller's office they are again scrutinized and if found correct, the amount of the requisition is re- mitted to the Treasurer of this Commission. This routine is pursued with all bills, excepting the weekly payroll for the construction of floats, which is paid of necessity before presentation to the Trustees but which is subsequently presented to the Trustees for their ap- proval. The accounts are kept in an entirely separate room, devoted especially to that purpose, and are in charge of an expert accountant, Mr. Trainer. Lastly, the books and vouchers of the Commission are audited periodically by the Audit Company of New York. Recapitulation of Appropriations to the Commission. One of the Trustees asked for a recapitulation of the appropriations made by the State and the City to this Commission to date. The Assistant Secretary stated them to be as follows : May 26, 1909 1 1 13 Appropriation by Chapter 325 of the Laws of 1906 $25,000 00 Less amount which reverted to the State Treasury by non-use 12,500 00 $12,500 00 Reappropriated by Chapter 466 of the Laws of 1908 12,500 00 New appropriation by Chapter 466 of the Laws of 1908 150,000 00 Appropriated by Legislature of 1909 300,00000 Total appropriations by the State $475,00000 Appropriated by the City of New York. ... 250,000 00 Total appropriations by State and City. $725,000 00 Mr. Stetson, Chairman of the Committee on Law and Legislation, explained that of the $475,000 appropriated by the State, the first $25,000 was intended for preliminary expenses; $100,000 was set apart by law for use at and above New burgh ; and $25,000 was set apart by law for the expenses of the Governor, his staff, the elective officers of the State and the members of the Legislature; leaving, in effect, only $325,000 of the State funds available for the celebration south of Newburgh. 't>' Appointments by the Mayor. The Secretary presented a letter from the Executive Secretary of the Mayor of New York, communicating- the appointments of the Rev. Edward B. Coe, D.D., The Right Rev. David H. Greer, D.D., The Rev. H. Pereira Mendes, D.D., and Mr. Russell Benedict, as members of this Com- mission. The Secretary was directed to add their names to the roll of the Commission. Committee Changes. The President announced the following changes in Com- mittees : 1114 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Reception Committee : Right Rev. David H. Greer, D.D., Rev. H. Pereira Mendes, D.D., and Rev. Edward B. Coe, D.D., added. Aquatic Sports Committee : Captain Jacob W. Miller resigned as Chairman, and Captain A. B. Fry appointed Chairman.

The Secretary read letters dated May 21 and May 22 from Mr. Eliot Tuckerman, Secretary of the Manhattan Citizens' Committee, communicating the appointment by the Chairman, the Honorable Joseph H. Choate, of the following named additional members of that Committee : Mr. Arthur Goadby, Mr. James L. Bishop, Mr. Benjamin F. Einstein, the Honorable Alfred R. Page, Professor George W, Kirchwey, Mr. J. R. Gordon, Mr. Richard Schermerhorn, Jr., and Mr. Wainwright Hardie. Richmond Citizens' Committee Organized. Upon motion of Mr. Ridder, the courtesy of the floor was accorded to Mr. Eugene L. Richards, Jr., Chairman of the Richmond Citizens' Committee. Mr. Richards stated that the Committee had met on Mon- day evening, May 24th, and had organized with himself as Chairman ; that the Committee showed great interest in the approaching celebration, and promised to do its share in contributing to the success of the commemoration. Mr. Ridder announced that a citizens' committee would be organized in the Borough of the Bronx the following week, and a similar committee in the Borough of Queens the week after. Applications for Recognition in Official Program, The Assistant Secretary laid before the Trustees appli- cations from Columbia University, the Sons of the Revolu- tion, the Italian Societies of New York and various other organizations, requesting that events conducted by them during the celebration be mentioned in the official piogram. May 26, 1909 1 1 15 It was voted that all applications for the mention of unofficial events in the official program be referred to the Executive Committee, with power. Nominated for Appointuioit to tJic Coiniiiissioii. At this point the President invited the Honorable Joseph H. Choate to the Chair, and retired from the room. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Committee on Nominations, presented a report recommending for appointment as mem- bers of the Commission the following named gentlemen: To be appointed by the Governor: Hon. John Raines of Canandaigua; Hon. Jotham P. Allds of Norwich; Hon. Jas. W. Wadsworth, Jr. of Mount Morris, and Hon. E. A, Merritt, Jr. of Potsdam. To be appointed by the Mayor : Mr. Ogden Livingston Mills, New York; Mr. Hovvland Shippen Davis, New York; Mr. T. Greidanus, 136 Water street. New York, President of the United Netherlands Society of New York; Mr. Samuel W. Fairchild, The Union League Club; Hon. George Cromwell, President of the Borough of Rich- mond ; Mr. Eugene Lamb Richards, Jr., 76 William street. Chairman of Richmond Citizens' Committee; Mr. William G.

Archbold, 26 Broadway ; Mr. E. T. Bedford, 26 Broadway ; Dr. Gorham Bacon, 47 West 54th street ; Mr, Charles H. Strong, 42 Broadway. Mr. Fitch moved that the report be received and the recommendations adopted. Carried. Election of Officers. The report of the Nominating Committee continued as follows : The Committee further reports that it nominates for election the present officers of the Commission and recom- mends their election, viz.; For President, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford. For Vice-Presidents, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Hon. Joseph H. Choate, Maj. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, Hon. Seth Low, Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, Hon. Levi P. Morton, Iii6 Minutes of Trustees' Meetinof is Hon. Alton B. Parker, Air. John E. Parsons, Gen. Horace Porter, Mr. Herman Ridder, Hon. Frederick W. Seward, Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson, Hon. Oscar S. Straus, Mr. William B. Van Rensselaer, Gen, James Grant Wilson. For Treasurer, Mr. Isaac N. Seligman. For Secretary, Col. Henry W. Sackett. The Committee also nominates for reappointment the present Assistant Secretary, Dr. Edward Hagaman Hall, at his present salary, and recommends his appointment. Gen. Woodford does not concur in the nomination of himself as President. Col. Sackett does not concur in the nomination of himself as Secretary. The Committee also nominates and recommends for re- appointment by the President as presiding Vice-President, Mr. Herman Ridder. Respectfully submitted, Theodore Fitch, Chairman, Stewart L. Woodford, John W. Vrooman, Henry W. Sackett. Mr. Fitch moved to proceed to the election of officers and that unless other nominations were made, the As- sistant Secretary be directed to cast a single ballot in behalf of the officers named. There being no other nominations, the motion was unani- mously carried. The Assistant Secretary having cast the ballot as di- rected, the President pro tem declared the nominees unani- mously elected. Mr. Fitcli then moved the reappointment of the As- sistant Secretary, as recommended in the report. Unani- mously carried. Mr. Fitch stated that the Nominating Committee, in recommending to the President the reappointment of Mr. Ridder as Presiding Vice-President, desired to signify not only their appreciation of his great executive ability, but also their appreciation of the good judgment of the Presi- dent in making the appointment heretofore. He therefore moved that the Trustees recommend to the President that he again designate Mr. Ridder as Presiding Vice-Presi- dent. The motion was carried with applause. May 26, 1909 1 1 17 The President pro lem appointed Mr. Seligman a com- mittee to conduct General Woodford to the chair. Upon General Woodford's return, Mr. Choate congratulated him upon his re-election as President, in appreciation of his services to the Commission since its organization. General Woodford thanked the Trustees for the honor, and said that if anything could add to his pleasure, it was that his re-election had been communicated to him through his old and honored friend. Report on Aeronautics. In the absence of Mr. Beck, Chairman of the Committee on Aeronautics, Mr. Berri reported that Mr. Beck had made a very careful investigation of the subject and it was apparent that it would be impossible to make any display unle'^s the Commission appropriated $25,000 for that pur- pose. In the absence of such an appropriation, the Com- mittee's work was practically at a standstill. This situa- tion was due to the fact that the aeronauts cannot do any- thing unless their expenses are paid or some stibstantial prize offered to stimulate conipetition. There was in New Jersey, during- the current week, an Aeronautical Exhibi- tion in which all the participants were paid ; but the re- sults were very meagre. Mr. Berri thought that we would have to rely on what the United States Government would send, but it was doubtful what even the Government could do. Following is the Committee's report in full: The undersigned, the Committee on Aeronautics, further report that they have given consideration to the question whether an aeronautical display would not be an appro- priate part of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. For the reasons given in our previous report with refer- ence to the competitive race to Albany, we are of opinion that if an adequate appropriation can be spared, it would be very desirable to include an aeronautical display in the program of the coming celebration. Among other reasons, we may briefly mention the following: I. An a'eronautical display would afford a most interesting contrast to the first navis'ation of the Hudson bv Hudson iii8 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting and to its subsequent navigation by Ihe Clermont. Possi- bly the march of the centuries could not be more graphic- ally shown than by supplementing the passage of the replica of the Half Moon and that of the Clermont by a fitting display of the various types of airships, which are as wonderful to this generation as was the Clermont in Fulton's day. 2. The inclusion of a suitable aeronautical display would give to this celebration a feature which all similar cele- brations have lacked and in that way would add to its interest. Many of the details of the coming- celebration are of necessity the features of all preceding celebrations, but, so far as your Committee knows, no great civic cele- bration has ever been marked by such a display of the various types of airships, with which the air can now be navigated, as is now possible. 3. We know of no subject that is now of greater interest to the average man or carries with it a greater appeal to the imagination than the navigation of the air. The entire civilized world is following with intense interest the marvelous displays of the Wright brothers and other suc- cessful inventors of airships. While the coming celebra- tion, as now planned, is full of extraordinary interest, we believe that no feature of it would have more of novelty and interest than such an exhibition of airships. Your Committee employed, without compensation, Mr. William J. Hammer, a prominent electrical engineer, for many years identified with aeronautics and a member of both the Aero Club of America and the Aeronautic Society of this city. At the Committee's request, Mr. Hammer, by report which is appended to this report, mapped out the program of such an aeronautical display. By subsequent correspondence he has further amplified the details of the proposed display and has given this Committee assurance that it is not too late to properly organize it, and that many features of great novelty and interest could be secured. The Committee believes that it would be possible to secure one or both of the Wright brothers to give an exhibition of their machine. To include such an aeronautic display in the program of the celebration it will be necessary that prompt action be taken by the Commission. The members of your Com- mittee have neither the time nor the necessary facilities to organize and perfect the preliminary arrangements. For these it would be necessary to employ a man of the type of Mr. Hammer, who \\ould unite with scientific attainments May 26, 1909 1 1 19 the talent for org-anizalion and a wide knowledge of aeronauts tliroiig-hout the world. These qualifications Mr. William J. Hammer undoubtedly has, and he is willing to enter into the employ of the Commission for this purpose. For this he would of course expect a reasonable compen- sation. We have requested his opinion as to what appropriation would be necessary to carry his plans into effect. He informs us that it would be impossible to secure the pres- ence of the more prominent inventors unless compensatory prizes were offered and in some case it would be necessary to pay the expenses of the competitors. He is of opinion that the plans could not be carried out in a manner that would be w^orthy of the event and of the Commission with- out an appropriation of $25,000. Your Committee recommends : 1. That the aeronautic display be included in the official program of the Commission, provided that the funds of the Commission be sufficient to justify an appropriation of $25,000. 2. That the Committee on Aeronautics be authorized to employ Mr. William J. Hammer to organize the display and pay him such reasonable compensation as may be agreed upon between the Committee on Aeronautics and Mr. Hammer. 3. That an appropriation of $25,000 be made to the Committee on Aeronautics, in order to employ Mr. Ham- mer and to carry into effect, so far as practicable, the plan outlined by him, wdth such other features as may here- after be agreed upon by the Committee on Aeronautics. Very respectfully, James M. Beck, Chainnan, William Berri. Mr. Sackett moved that the report be referred to the Executive Committee. Mr. Berri moved to amend by adding the words, " with power." The amendment was adopted, and the motion as amended was carried. $2,500 appropriated for Art and Historical Exhibits. Dr. Kunz, Chairman of the Sub-committee on Historical Exhibits, spoke of the desirability of extending some II20 Minutes of Trustees' Meetinof «3 modest, substantial aid to the New York Historical Society and to Columbia University for their Hudson-Fulton Exhibits. Mr. Stetson moved that $1,500 be appropriated toward the expense of the New York Historical Society Exhibition ; $500 toward the expense of the Columbia University Ex- hibition; and $500 toward the general expenses of the Sub-committee on Historical Exhibits. Carried. Badges, Flag and Poster. Mr. Ames, Acting Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster, submitted the plaster casts for the medallion of the badges, and suggested that the badges be manufactured by the concern which would pay the largest royalty for the privilege. The subject was referred to the Executive Committee, with power. With respect to the official flag, Mr. Ames said that the Committee had drawn up specifications for its manufac- ture, in accordance with the action of the Executive Com- mittee on May 19th, but that the Committee did not feel justified in permitting its manufacture until the copyright had been secured. Mr. Ames submitted Mr. Blashfield's design for the poster. Mr. Berri commented on the fact that the design did not indicate where the celebration was to take place. Mr. Hoffman said that the design was a general one, intended for the celebration throughout the whole State, but that events could be printed on one side, if desired. Mr. Ridder thought it would be a waste of money to have the posters printed at the expense of the Commission. Mr. Brower said he would like to see the poster design put on the official flag. Mr. Stetson said that the poster had been prepared ap- parently under some slight misconception concerning the nature of this celebration. All expositions heretofore had issued posters to attract visitors and to promote the sale of tickets. The Hudson-Fulton Celebration, however, is free and does not need to advertise. / V (obverse) (.REVBRSE) Design Recommended for the Medallion of THE Official Badge (See outline sketch on page 058) L Design for thk Official Poster Aijopted bv the Hudsox-Fueton ('EEEBRATIOX C'(~)M MISSION' (Copyright, i()ocj, bv the Hudson-Fulton C'elelir;it:on Comniission) May 26, 1909 1 121 Mr. Sackett said he thought that railroads and other business concerns would be glad to use the poster at their own expense if permitted, under suitable restrictions as to size and character, to place their advertisements upon it. Mr. Ridder moved that the report be received and the design for the poster be approved. Carried. Mr. Ridder then moved that the subject of the manu- facture of the poster be referred to the Executive Com- mittee, with power. Carried. Official Banquet. Mr. Stetson, Chairman of the Official Banquet Com- mittee, reported that that Committee had gone as far in its arrangements as was possible until it was informed as to the number of official guests. Brooklyn Program. Col. Ogden, Chairman of the Brooklyn Committee, re- ported that preparations were in active progress for the celebration in Brooklyn, and he would be prepared to pre- sent a detailed program at the next meeting. Substitute Appropriation of $150,000 for Historical and Carnival Parades. Mr. Ridder, Chairman of the Committee on Carnival and Historical Parades, reported that the preparations of the floats and the making of arrangements for the Historical Parade in Manhattan on Tuesday, the repetition of the Historical Parade in Brooklyn on Friday, and the Carnival Parade on Saturday night, were progressing satisfactorily. He estimated that the total net cost of these parades would be $150,000. He therefore moved that all previous ap- propriations for the Carnival and Historical Parades be cancelled, and that in lieu thereof the sum of $150,000 be hereby appropriated, with the understanding that this is to cover all expenses thus far incurred and everything in the future in connection with the Historical Parade in Manhattan, the repetition of the Historical Parade in Brooklyn and the Carnival Parade in Manhattan. Carried 1122 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Arrangements for Children's Festivals. ■ Mr. Samuel Parsons, Chairman of the Committee on Children's Festivals, presented a detailed estimate of the manner in which it was proposed to expend the $50,000 already appropriated for Children's Festivals. The estimate was divided into four different groups. The sum of $11,935 will be used by the Department of Education for various exercises on Wednesday, September 29th, and Saturday, October 2d. The exercises on Wednesday will consist of tableaux, illustrated lectures, exhibitions of photographs, etc., in five hundred and sixty public schools. The exercises on Saturday will consist of an athletic meet in the Madison Square Garden. The sum of $7,000 will be devoted to tableaux, plays, lectures, etc., in parochial, private and corporate schools. One thousand and sixty-five dollars is estimated as the cost of administration expenses of the Children's Festivals Committee, and $30,000 is estimated to be the cost of a Carnival of Play for one million children at one thousand different centres in the greater city. The budget for the Carnival of Play provides for one large celebration for each Borough with small centres in each Borough for girls and little children. The Carnival of Play will embody a dramatization in miniature of the progress of civilization through four or five centuries in this vicinity, representing life of the Indians in 1509, the Dutch in 1609, the English in 1709, the Colonists in 1779, the Young Republic in 1809, and America in 1909. The report was received and ordered on file. Report of Executive Comniittee. General Woodford, Chairman of the Executive Com- mittee, reported that two meetings of the Committee had been held since the last Trustees' meeting, namely, on May 5th and May 19th, the minutes of which would be duly printed and sent to the members. May 26, 1909 1 1 23 He said that the Executive Committee had tried to get together estimates from all the Committees as a basis for forming an opinion as to the total expense of the Cele- bration. He was of the opinion that voluntary subscrip- tions to the amount of $250,000 would be necessary to enable the Commission to carry out its plans and if this amount were raised there would be no stint. He therefore hoped that all the members of the Commission would use their efforts to key-up public opinion and endeavor to secure this amount. General Commemorative Exercises. The Assistant Secretary reported that President Schurman, Chairman of the General Commemorative Exercises Committee, had recently called to see the Secre- tary and report that he intended to sail with his family for Europe in a few days, but that the arrangements of his Committee were in good working order and would continue during his absence. President Schurman stated that he would return early in September in advance of his family on account of the Celebration. He reported a lively- interest among the Universities, Colleges and Public Schools throughout the State in the Celebration and said that at Cornell the following program had been arranged: Tuesday evening, September 28th : Introductory Ad- dresses : I. "Geographical Conceptions of America in 1608," bv Professor G. L. Burr of the Department of Mediaeval History. Lecture to be illustrated by lantern slides and to be followed by an exhibition of maps, etc., in the University Library, which will be continued throughout " Hudson-Fulton Week." 2. " Political and Economic Con- ditions of Europe in 1608," by Professor R. C. H. Catterall of the Department of Modern European History. Wednesday evening, September 29th : An address on " Hudson's Discovery of the Hudson River and its Histor- ical Significance," by Professor C. H. Hull of the Depart- ment of American History. Thursday evening, September 30th : An address on " Fulton's application of Steam to Navigation," with a his- tory of steam navigation in this country, by Dean A. W. 1 1 24 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Smith of the Sibley College of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Arts. Lecture to be accompanied by an exhibition of models, pictures, etc., of steamships from the time of Fulton's Clermont to the present time. Five Nezi' Historical Floats Authorized. Mr. Hoffman, Chairman of the Historical Committee which has had supervision of the designs for the floats in the Historical Parade, reported that 50 designs had been approved and the construction of the corresponding floats was nearly completed. The floats requiring Indian charac- ters were not yet finished. Applications for four additional floats had been made by Columbia University, the College of the City of New York and the Tammany Society (as an historical, not a political organization). The Society of the Cincinnati had requested that the float originally de- signed for them be changed as they preferred to represent a different episode in the history of the Cincinnati. The Lower Hudson Committee had found that one of the Title Cars would be too high for their use and asked for another car not so high. He moved that the Carnival and Historical Parades Committee be authorized to construct five new floats and change one float, the expense to be included in the appropriation already made for the Carnival and His- torical Parades Committee. Carried. Indian Question Referred to Executive Coniniittee. Some discussion followed in regard to having Indians in the Celebration. Two sets of Indians had been recom- mended, namely, a party of New York State Indians under the management of Mr. F. E. Moore, which had given representations of Indian life at Chautauqua Lake and a party of Canadian Indians under the management of Mr. L. O. Armstrong, which gave similar representations at Quebec last year and will perform in the Lake Champlain Celebration in July. Dr. Kunz thought it very' important that we should have New York State Indians in the Cele- bration of this Commission for they would represent the May 26, 1909 1 1 25 Indians with whom Hudson and the Dutch settlers came in contact. The Canadian Indians were quite proper for the Champlain Celebration as Champlain invaded the present territory of Xew York State with Canadian Indians and signalized his advent on Lake Champlain by a sanguinary conflict with the Xew York State Indians. In view of the relations of Hudson and the early settlers of New York State with the Xew York State Indians, it seemed to Dr. Kunz that propriety would dictate the engagement of X^'ew York Indians, if any. Mr. Stetson said that the question seemed to be between having Mr. Armstrong's highly trained Canadian Indians and Mr. Moore's X^ew York State Indians. He moved to refer the question to the Executive Committee with power. Carried. Report of Hudson River Scenery Conunittcc. Judge Parker, Chairman of the Committee on Hudson River Scenery, presented the following report : The Committee on Hudson River Scenery, reports : That they have prepared and caused to be presented to the Legislature two bills for the protection of the scenery of the Hudson River. The one ( Wainwright-Mcrritt Bill X^o. 1318) which pro- vides for the preservation of the wooded slopes of the High- lands extending over an area of seventy-five square miles under the care of the Forestry Commissioner, has passed the Legislature and has been signed by the Governor. The other (Bennett Bill X^o. 2214) having for its object a continuation of the methods employed to protect the Pali- sades to a point as far X^orth as X^ewburgh, after passing the Assembly and to a third reading in the Senate, was held back from a favorable report by the reluctance of the Fi- nance Committee of the Senate to make any further appro- priation this year than the $300,000 given to the general celebration fund. With an expenditure of $229 out of the appropriation of $250 (vouchers for which are in the hands of the As- sistant Secretary) your Committee has through different organizations and clubs d'stributed throughout the state 1 1 26 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting fifteen thousand illustrated pamphlets and brought the su1> ject to the notice of all the leading newspapers. The effect of this work has been an aroused public interest and a prac- tically unanimous endorsement by the press of the plan em- bodied in the bills to save the Highlands from further de- facement, as a suitable permanent tribute to the achieve- ments of Hudson and Fulton. We are sorry not to report that we have accomplished the mission you assigned to us. But we do report our belief that the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission can yet accomplish the public service which it set out to render. Not this year, it is true, but next. If it be the desire of this Commission to have the Committee on Hudson River Scenery continue on its behalf the efforts already made to secure legislation along the line of the Bennett Bill, you have but to indicate your wish, to ensure the earnest efforts of the Committee. It is to be regretted that it cannot be said to the multi- tud'es who witness your decorous and impressive 'cere- monies : "The law making power of this State has said no longer shall the ruthless defacement of the beautiful Hudson River be permitted." But you can at least give the assur- ance that the work will not stop until that most to be de- sired result is accomplished. Mr. Stetson moved that the report be received and the Committee continued. He said that he had reached the point where he ceased to be an obstructionist and considered nothing now more important than the preservation of the scenery of the Highlands. The only reason why he had hesitated to endorse the movement in its earlier stages was that he feared it might militate against an adequate appro- priation by the Legislature for the Celebration. Now that the appropriation was secured he felt free to speak most heartily in favor of the movement. He complimented Judge Parker's Committee for the efficient and effective manner in which it had presented the subject to the Legislature. The President extended to Judge Parker and to his Com- mittee the cordial thanks of the Commission. He said that the work which the Committee had done justified the exis- tence of the Commission. Mr. Stetson's motion was carried. May 26, 1909 1127 Plaits for Illuiiiiiuitioiis. Mr. Berri, Chairman of the Committee on Illuminations, reported that the arrangements for illuminations were pro- gressing satisfactorily and that his Committee would need no more money than was already appropriated. He said that the Electric Light Company would add on their own account some illuminations to those paid for by the Com- mission. He mentioned that one unique feature of the illuminations would be in connection with the Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument in Brooklyn, which, according to the design by the late Stanford White, was surmounted by an urn from which perpetual fire was supposed to issue. The designer expected to produce this effect by means of illu- minated steam and some such effect will be produced during the Celebration. Mr. Berri expressed regret at the apparent lack of interest manifested by the people of New Jersey, and a brief discussion of this subject took place in which Gen. Woodford, Mr. Stetson, Mr. Ridder and Mr. Bergen participated. Gen. Woodford expressed the opinion, based on recent correspondence with Gov. Stokes and Gov. Murphy, that the people of New Jersey really were in- terested and would eventually give outward evidence of it. Inu'ood Hill Park. In the absence of Air. John E. Parsons, Chairman of the Committee on Inwood Hill Park, Mr. Sackett stated that the situation was now more satisfactory than at any time heretofore. Mr. Parsons and other members of the Board of Trustees had been before the Board of Estimate and Ap- portionment and received a very courteous hearing and the matter had been referred to a sub-committee of that Board of which Comptroller Metz is Chairman. There was now a very decided disposition on the part of the property owners to unite with this Commission and the City authorities in placing their property at the command of the City at a reasonable price. 1 1 28 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Official Inzntations. In behalf of Mr. Choate, Chairman of the Committee on Invitations, it was stated that official invitations had been sent through the Department of State at Washington to the Foreign Governments, inviting them to be represented at the Celebration by special delegates and vessels of their Navies ; also through the Department of State to the mem- bers of the Diplomatic Corps at Washington ; also to the President and Vice-President of the United States; mem- bers of the Cabinet; the Justices of the United States Su- preme Court ; the Speaker of the House of Representatives ; the Governor of the State of New York; and the members of the Consular Corps in New York City. Official invita- tions will be sent also to the Governor of New Jersey as the Executive of the only other Hudson River State, also to the Governor of Pennsylvania in which State Robert Fulton was born ; to the elective officers of the State of New York, the members of the Legislature, the Mayor of the City of New York, the President and members of the Board of Aldermen, the Presidents of the five Boroughs, and the Comptroller of the City ; also to the Governor General and the Premier of the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Stetson inquired whether the Lieutenant Governors of the various Provinces of the Dominion of Canada were included and the President explained that as the Governors of all the States in the Union v/ere not invited it did not seem appropriate to invite the Lieutenant Governors of the Dominion Provinces. $300,000 Appropriated by Chapter 448 of the Lazvs of 1909. Mr. Stetson, Chairman of the Committee on Law and Legislation, reported that on May 226. the Governor had signed the bill appropriating $300,000 for the purposes of the Celebration. Mayor Snyder handed to Mr. Stetson a certified copy of the Act which becomes Qiapter 448 of the Laws of 1909, reading as follows: . f*!

No portion of the foregoing appropriation nor of the sums heretofore appropriated which shall be allocated by the commission to any locality shall be by said locality expended for the purpose of a permanent local monument or memorial to commemorate said anniversary ; but all moneys remaining unexpended in the hands of the local committee at the conclusion of the celebration shall be paid over to the treasurer of the com- mission, and the total amount remaining unexpended in the treasury of the commission shall be applied to such permanent monument or memorial, subject to the approval ■of the legislature, as said commision shall recommend to the legislature of nineteen hundred and ten, and of the for- 1 130 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting going sum above appropriated twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) shall be reserved and expended by the commis- sion upon plans and also through vouchers to be approved by the president pro tempore of the senate and the speaker of the assembly for such of the expenses, exclusive of travel- ing expenses, as shall be necessarily incurred in the participation by the governor, his staff, the elective state officers and the members of the legislature in their attend- ance upon the invitation of the commission at said cele- bration and the exercises connected therewith.

The commission shall as requested by the governor, from time to time, render him reports of its preceedings. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. Number of Members and Trustees Increased by Fifty. Mr. Stetson also reported the enactment of a law (chap- ter 277 of the laws of 1909) enlarging the membership and Board of Trustees of the Commission as follows: AN ACT To increase the number of the members and trustees of the Hudson-Fulton celebration commission. Became a law, May 3. 1909, with the approval of the Governor. Passed, three-fifths being present. The People of the State of Nezv York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as folloivs: Section i. The members and trustees of the Hudson- Fulton celebration commission as designated by the acts, chapter three hundred and twenty-five of the laws of nineteen hundred and six, and chapter two hundred and seventeen of the laws of nineteen hundred and eight, are and shall be increased in number by adding to and in- cluding as such members and trustees, such persons not exceeding fifty in all, as from time to time shall be elected by the trustees of such commission at any regular or special meeting of such trustees. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. May 26, 1909 1 131 Protection of Designs. Mr. Stetson also reported the passage of an act by the Legislature giving additional protection to the designs for the Commission's flag, badges, poster, etc. $25,000 Appropriated for Lower Hudson Committee. In behalf of Mayor Warren of Yonkers, Chairman of the Lower Hudson Committee, Mr. Pugsley moved that $25,- 000 be appropriated to the Lower Hudson Committee for the purposes of the second week of the Celebration in accordance with the program given hereafter. Mr. Ridder moved to amend by striking" out the words " second week " and making the appropriation apply to all of the expenses of the Lower Hudson Committee. The amendment was adopted and the motion as amended was carried. Air. Clarence E. Leonard Engaged as an Assistant to the Secretary. Mr. Pugsley also moved in behalf of the Lower Hudson Committee that Mr. Clarence E. Leonard be appointed an Assistant to the Secretary of the Commission subject to his exception from Civil Service requirements, at a salary of $250 a month for nine months, beginning February i, 1909. the same to be paid out of the appropriation of $25,000 already made to the Lower Hudson Committee. Mr. Sackett expressed his doubt as to the propriety of dating Mr. Leonard's engagement prior to the authoriza- tion of the Board of Trustees and the application to the State Civil Service Commission for his exception from examination. After a brief discussion, the subject of the engagement of Mr. Leonard was referred to the Secretary with power. (Later, in consideration of the fact that ^Mr. Leonard had been doing very valuable work both for the Lower Hudson Committee and for the Historical Committee since 1132 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting the first of February, the Secretary arranged with him at the rate of $375 a month for the period of six months beginning June i, 1909.) i Lower Hudson Program. In behalf of the Lower Hudson Committee, Mr. Pugs- ley submitted the following program for observances from October 3d to October 9th inclusive, between the City of New York and the City of Newburgh: Sunday, October 3d : Religious services and observances referring particularly to the occurrence of the celebration. Monday : Parade of twenty historical floats, accom- panied by Indians and manned by local participants, at Yonkers, joined in by Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains and nearby villages. The parade will be augmented by the militia, and the various civic and in- dustrial organizations. Arrangements are in progress to have the cadets from West Point present. To be reviewed by Governor Hughes and party, Acting President Herman Ridder and officials of the commission, Col. Scott, U. S. A., Mayor Warren, Mayors Howe and Raymond, and the presidents of villages and invited guests. Tuesday : Parade of the floats from Hastings through Dobbs Ferry and Irvington to Tarry town and North Tarry- town accompanied by local organizations and fire com- panies ; the historical characters upon the floats to be repre- sented by local participants. Wednesday: Rockland County Day. Parade of the floats at Nyack, joined in by participants from Piermont, Grand View, South Nyack and Upper Nyack, accompanied by local organizations, fire companies and schools. Thursday : Parade at Ossining, commencing at Scar- borough, and joined in by participants from Briar Clifif and Croton-on-Hudson, with civic organizations, fire com- panies, etc., in the forenoon of that day. In the afternoon, a water parade of the floats, manned by participants from Haverstraw and West Haverstraw, will take place off Stony Point Park, within a short dis- tance of the shore. Friday : Parade of the floats at Peekskill, manned by local participants, with industrial and other organizations, fire companies, schools, etc., joined in by Montrose, Crugers, Oscawana and nearby villages.

A water parade of the floats at Cold Spring, with local participants, joined in by representatives from Brewster, Carmel and other vil- lages, including participants from Garrisons, Highland Falls and West Point. Salute by the garrison of the West Point Military Academy in passing. In the evenings, illuminations, band concerts and fire- works wmII be furnished by the various local committees, as mav be deemed advisable bv them. Publications Referred to Executive Coininittee with Pozvcr. Mr. Bergen, Chairman of the Committee on Memorials, reported that the plans for the official publications had been referred to the Executive Committee and the Plan and Scope Committee but as yet nothing had been done in re- gard to them. Pie hoped that arrangements could be made by which publishers would undertake the publications except the Book of the Celebration without expense to the Com- mission. He thought it would be more satisfactory if the matter were referred to the officers of the Commission with power so that if necessary they could act quickly. They might find that all publications except the Book of the Cele- bration could be issued without expense to the Commission. Air. Ridder moved that the entire subject of the official publications be referred to the Executive Committee with power. Carried. New York Historical Society to be Depository of Arcliives. Mr. Bergen said that it was apparent that this Commis- sion would have a large collection of models, records, etc., at the close of the Celebration which should be preserved. He therefore moved " that the New York Historical Society be made tlie depository for all matter relating to the Hud- son-Fulton Celebration that is to be preserved for future reference, such matter to include letters, drawings, sketches, models, etc." Mr. Berri moved to amend so as to provide that if there ■were any duplicates they be placed with the Long Island Historical Society 1 1 34 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting The amendment was accepted and the motion, as amended, adopted. ) $15,000 Appropriated for Military Parade. In the absence of Major General Roe, Chairman of the MiHtary Parade Committee, the President presented the re- port of the Committee estimating the total cost of the Mili- tary Parade so far as they relate to the Grand Marshal, at $11,302.80. This covers only the National Guard and the Naval Militia in Greater New York. If there are any visiting organizations or Governors and Staffs who will be in the Parade, that will be an extra expense. Mr. Ridder moved that $15,000 be appropriated for the Military Parade Committee. Carried. $13,000 Appropriated for Music Festivals. Mr. Lindenthal, Chairman of the Committee on Music Festivals, reported that arrangements had been made for seven concerts as follows : Sunday evening, September 26th, at the Hippodrome, by the United German Singers of the Northeast District of the United States. Monday evening, September 27th, at Carnegie Hall, by the Arion Society. Monday evening, September 27th, at the Metropolitan Opera House by the German Liederkranz. Monday evening, September 27th, at the Thirteenth Regi- ment Armory, Brooklyn, by the United German Singers of Brooklyn. Monday evening, September 27th, at the Astoria Scheut- zen Park, in the Borough of Queens, by the United Singers of Long Island. Monday evening, September 27th, at the Happy Land Park, South Beach, Borough of Richmond, by the United Singers of Richmond Borough. Sunday evening, October 3rd, at Carnegie Hall, by the Walter Damrosch orchestra. Mr. Lindenthal said that all of these concerts would be of the highest class. Admission would be free, but only May 26, 1909 1 135 upon invitation through the proper channels of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission. The Committee earnestly recommended that an adequate proportion of seats be reserved for the respective Societies contributing- the singers to the different concerts. The total expense for the seven concerts was estimated at $13,000. He therefore moved that that sum be appropriated. The motion was carried. $2,500 Appropriated for Official Literary Exercises. General Wilson, Chairman of the Committee on Ofificial Literary Exercises, moved that $2,500 be appropriated for the use of that Committee. He hoped that it would not be necessary to use it all. The motion was carried. Gen. Wilson further reported that he had tried to secure the British and Chinese Ambassadors for the Celebration. Mr. Bryce had said to him that he would be available after October ist but that previous engagements prevented his being here before that date. He had, however, written to his Government strongly urging it to send one or more ships. Mr. Wu had accepted to speak at the official literary exercises and to attend the banquet. Gen. Wilson said that he had suggested to J\Ir. Wu the great interest which our people would take in a ship from the oldest civilized country in the World, older than the Pyramids, and he was en- couraged to hope for the presence of one or more represen- tatives of the Chinese Navy. Patriotic Societies. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Committee on Patriotic So- cieties, reported the following developments since the pre- sentation of its report at the last meeting of the Trustees: The New York Society of the Order of the Cincinnati will man a float. The Washington Continental Guard in its continental uniform will man the float, " Washington taking the Oath of Office " but will not parade. The Tam- many Society or the Columbian Order, will man one or more floats. The Sons of the Revolution have over 400 acceptances for marching in the parades. The Huguenots 1 136 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Society is considering favorably manning the " The Hugue- nots Going to Church." The Society wih decide defin- itely at its next meeting which will be held withm a few days. Hotels to Entertain Official Guests. In the absence of Dr. Low, Chairman of the Reception Committee, Vice-Chairman Batcheller reported that after a conference held with Mr. George C. Boldt, President of the Hotel Men's Protective Association, Mr. William Muschen- heim, Mr. Ridder and others, at the Hotel Astor, on May 25th, Mr. Muschenheim had assured him that the hotels in the Association could easily accommodate our Foreign Guests as well as Diplomatic Representatives, Governors, and other Official Guests, numbering from three to five hundred, and it was practically understood that the Hotel Association could be depended upon by the Reception Com- mittee to care properly for the Commission's guests during the Celebration. The entertainment of the Official Guests will involve a large expense on the part of the hotels, but this will be done gratuitously by them and will be their con- tribution to the Celebration. There will be an expense for taxicabs, but the Committee was not now prepared to present an estimate of that item. Mr. Ridder said that Dr. Batcheller had been very efficient in arranging this matter of the accommodation of the Offi- cial Guests and that the willingness of the hotels to care for the Commission's guests without expense practically saved the Commission $100,000. Mr. Ridder moved that the As- sistant Secretary be authorized to employ such clerical as- sistance as was necessary for the purposes of the Reception Committee. Carried. $100,000 Appropriated for the Upper Hudson Committee. Col. MacArthur, Chairman of the Upper Hudson Com- mittee reported that the different communities at and north of Newburgh were actively engaged in arranging for their local celebrations. Troy had a Citizens' Committee of 150 members and Albany, Poughkeepsie, Hudson, and the other May 26, 1909 1 137 cities had similar Committees. Everything was progressino- favorably, except that they needed the assurance of the ap- propriation provided for the Upper Hudson portion of the Celebration. Mayor Snyder moved that $100,000, in accordance with the provision of Chapter 448 of the Laws of 1909, be ap- portioned to the use of the Upper Hudson Committee, to be apportioned by that Committee to the various localities at and north of Newburgh and that the local apportionment be referred to the Executive Committee of the Commission for confirmation. Mayor Snyder added that in Albany about 900 men were at work in preparing for the commemoration and they ex- pected to have the Celebration worthy of the State Capital. Mr. Ridder said that the appropriation asked for in Mavor Snyder's motion had been promised and should of course be made. Mr. Stetson explained that the money would be expended in accordance with the recommendations of the Upper Hud- son Committee, but that the accounts must be presented and go through the usual routine of the Commission like other accounts. Mr. McKay said that it was intended to have a meeting of the Upper Hudson Committee within a few days when It would agree upon a local apportionment to be sub- mitted to the Executive Committee of the Commission for approval. After some further remarks by Mr. Hall and others, Mayor Snyder's motion was adopted. J'crPIanck's Point Park. Mr. Pugsley, Chairman of the Committee on Ver- Planck's Point Park, reported the failure of the \'er- Planck's Point bill to pass the Legislature. It passed the Assembly and reached the third reading in the Senate but went no further on the ground that if any permanent memorial were created it should come out of the $300,000 appropriation. He said that the Committee had had a 1 1 38 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting difficult problem; but that the members had gone to Mbany and had done splendid service. He added that the members had paid their own expenses and they asked no appropriation from the Commission. Dr Kunz expressed the hope that enough could be reserved from the appropriations made to the Commission so that VerPlanck's Point Park could be purchased at the close of the Celebration. Mr. Pugsley said that he thought that $25,000 would purchase what land was necessary and put it in shape. Various Reports of Progress. Brief reports of progress were made by Mr. Lamb, Chairman of the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands; Judge Higley, Chairman of the Committee on Dedications, and others. In rising to put a motion to adjourn, the President renewed his expression of thanks to the Commission for his re-election. He said that it was one of the pleasantes honors of his life. He requested them not to be annoyed if he insisted on economy and he urged all the members to use their influence to make the Subscription Fund at least $250,000. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W.

The Half Moon to be Cared for at A'rzc York Xary Yard. The Secretary laid before the Committee the following letters, which were ordered printed in the minutes : NAVY YARD, NEW YORK, June 10, 1909. Captain T. W. Miller, Pier 19, Xorth Rizrr, Nez^' York, My dear Captain: I enclose for yotir general informa- tion, a copy of a letter received from the Dutch \'ice Ad- miral, in relation to the " Half Moon." I have informed Mr. Gips, the General Agent of the Holland-America Line, who is acting as the representative of this committee on this side, that we will look out for the " Half Moon " and take care of all effects. Please communicate with me if there should be any- thing in the enclosed letter, which might involve any dis- cussion. I remain. Yours very truly, J. B. MURDOCK, Captain, U. S. Xai'v. The Hague, May 28, 1909. To the Commandant of the Navy Yard, Nezv York: Dear Admiral : With great satisfaction and pleasure I took notice of the communication of M. Gips, Head Agent of the Rotterdam-America S.S. Comp. and wlio is at the same time Agent for New York of the Holland-Huflson Fulton Comite ; that the Naval Department of the U. S. has kindly permitted to put aside the "Half Moon," which vessel will be offered to the Hudson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission in America, after her arrival at New York at the naval yard at r>rooklyn, to be kept there. June 2 1, 1909 1 165 The " Half Moon " will arrive at New York as deck- charg-e of the Netherland S. S. Soesttlyk ahout the 20th Tuli. and it is intended that she will stay at the dock}-ard till the arrival of the Netherlands Cruiser Utrecht ahout Sept. loth. This vessel will furnish Captain and Crew for the "' Half Moon," will rig her and put everything- in the proper place, and bring her at the appointed time for the festivities, to New York. Unfortunately the Engineer, Shipwright M. lienthen, who has constructed the vessel, will probably not be able to proceed to N. Y. before the 28th August and will prob- ably arrive there about the 7th Sept., in time to assist the Captain-to-be in the rigging of the vessel and everything else. However, a boatman of the naval yard at Amster- dam, where she has been constructed, will arrive at New York some 3 weeks earlier to look after the vessel. As you will observe, the " Half Moon " will be rather a long time — something about a month — without anvbodv on our side, except Mr. Gips, to look after her, and now my very earnest request to you is, that you should have the great kindness to give the necessary orders to keep the vessel during that time cared for. We should much like her to be placed, if possible, uiider a shed, to protect her from the burning sun, and also we should wish the decks to be kept wetted, and the absolutely necessary reparations to be made. Any costs made for her \vill be refunded by ]\Ir. Gips. I hope you will excuse me expressing these wishes to you, but we should be very much disappointed if there were anything amiss with the vessel, when she must Ijc ready for the festivities. Would you kindly accept the receipt of this letter and write if it is possible for you to fulfill my demands? Some boxes containing furniture will accompany the vessel. Believe me, dear Admiral, Yours truly. J. J. A. ROELL, Vice Admiral', Rcfd., R.N.N. , A-d C. to H.M. the Queen. Chairman of the Technical Cojiuniftee for the Building of the " Half Moon." ii66 Minutes of Executive Committee Request to Enter " Half Moon " Free of Duty. The Secretary laid before the Committee the following letters which were ordered printed in the minutes. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, June i8, 1909. Mr. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary, Hudsoii-Fulton Com- mission, 154 Nassau street, Nezv York. Sir : I enclose for your information a copy of a despatch from the American Minister at The Haggle requesting that permission may be obtained for the entry free of duty of the replica of Henry Hudson's ship the " Halve Maen " and its furnishings, now being constructed in the Nether- lands under the direction of \'ice Admiral Roell. Application has to-day been made to the Secretary of the Treasury for the admission of the ship and its furnishings free of duty. I am. Sir, Your obedient servant, (Signed) Huntington Wilson, Acting Secretary. A^IERICAN LEGATION, The Hague, Netherlands, June 2, 1909. To the, Honorable P. C. Knox, Secretary of State, IJ^asJi- ington, D. C: Sir : I have the honor to report that \'ice Admiral Jonk- heer J. A. Roell of the Netherlands Navy, President of the Construction Committee of the Commissio voor de Hudson- Fulton Gedachtenisvering (Committee for the Hudson- Fulton Commemoration Celebration), wdio as such has charge of the construction of the replica of the famous " Halve Maen " (Flalf Moon) of Henry Hudson, has called at this Legation and requested that the courtesies of the customs at the port of New York be solicited for the vessel and its furnishings. From the enclosed copy of a letter from Mr. J. Heklring, Secretary of the General Committee, it will be seen that the " Half ^loon " with all materials necessary for the rigging and various objects for its equip- ment (household articles and weapons) will leave Rotter- dam on board the S. S. " Soestdijk " of the Holland-Ameri- ca line on July nth next and should arrive in New York on or about July 24th next ; that, it will be presented to June 2 1, 1909 1 167 the Hiul^on-Fulton Celebration Commission, to serve as a memento of the said Celebration. Vice-Admiral Roell further informs me that every effort has been made to furnish the '" Half Moon "' with dupli- cates or exact copies of all the furnishings, as known or possible, of the original and that the vessel is to remain permanently in the United States, on exhibition on a lake or other body of water in or near New York. I know also from personal information that no expense or trouble has been spared in preparing this contribution to the celebration of the historic event of 1609 and that the Dutch take great interest and pride in the same ; and I trust their generous interest will be met with e\'er}- cour- tesy. I am, sir, Your obedient servant, A. ]\I. 15EAUPRE. 's-Gra\exhage, June I, 1909. Lange VooRiiouT 31. E. D. White, Esq., Secretary, U. S. Legation. Tlie Hague: Dear sir: In compliance with your request I now beg to give you the following information about the " Half Moon " and its destination : 1. The vessel together with all materials, necessary for the rigging as well as various objects for its equipment, viz., mainly articles of household and weapons, will be shipped to the United States on board the S. S. " Soestdijk " of the Holland-America Line on July nth, due to arrive in New York on or about 24th of that month. 2. The vessel, etc., will be presented to the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission in New York in Septem- ber next and will be unloaded under the care of the agents of the Holland-America Line, whilst the vessel will remain at the naval yard in l^)rooklyn harbor until the date of its presentation. 3. The destination of the vessel will probably be to serve as a memento of the above Celebration in commcinoratioti of Henry Hudson's voyage in i6oc). Trusting that the above information is as much as you expect, I remain, dear sir. Yours obediently, T. Heldrixg. 1 1 68 Minutes of Executive Committee In-ivood Hill Park. Tlie Chairman reported that he had recently accompanied Mr. John E. Parsons, Chairman of the Inwood Hill Park Committee, and the Secretary, a member of that Commit- tee, in a call upon the Comptroller of the City, and that the result of the interview was very encouraging. It was believed that the project was in a more favorable position than ever before. Lazv to Protect Designs Not Passed. The Secretary presented letters received by Mr. Stetson, Chairman of the Committee on Law and Legislation, from Senators J. Mayhew Wainwright and Henry W, Hill, stat- ing that the bill to protect the badge, flag and poster designs of this and any other official Commission from imitation had failed of passage through inadvertence. The announce- ment in the minutes at the top of page 1131 should there- fore be corrected accordingly. The Commission will rely upon the United States patent and copyright laws for its security in this respect. Letter from State Comptroller Concerning Audit. The Secretary laid before the Committee the following letter from the State Comptroller : STATE OF NEW YORK COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, Albany, June 7, 1909. Hon. Francis Lynde Stetson, 15 Broad Street, A^ezv York City. Dear sir: Your favor of June 4th, in relation to ex- penditures under an appropriation to the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, is received. From a reading of the provision of law, it seems fairly to appropriate the money without reservation for the use of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission. The de- partment will audit and pay bills rendered in the usual manner and will not expect an account to be kept of the particular articles manufactured with a view of a refund to the Treasury upon a sale of such production after the cele- bration. Should there be a surplus and a distribution sub- secjuently to be made to parties interested, a question may June 2 1, 1909 1 169 arise as to the right of tlie State to participate. At present, however, the department will allow payments hy the Com- mission without the conditions other than occur in the usual audit. Very respectfully yours, Chas. H. Gaus, Comptroller. Ka2'a! Pr(\:^nni! for Saturday. Scf'tcnibcr 25, Approved. Captain Miller, Chairman of the Naval Parade Commit- tee, presented the following- program for Saturday, Sep- tember 2^, and it was approved : The Citizens Committee of Brooklyn having- arranged for the decoration of the shore of the upper bay from the Narrows to Govvanus Canal, the " Half Moon " and " Cler- mont " escorted by government and state vessels, will start from Constable Point, Kill \'an Kull, at 10.30 a. m. and proceed along the Staten Island shore and reach a point ojjposite Clifton at 11 a. m. The flotilla will then maneuver along the Brooklyn shore until i :30 p. m. In the mean- time the fleet of merchant vessels will be assembling in the lower bay from Governor's Island to the Narrows. It will consist of a fleet of probably over 400 vessels, and will form a background for the Escort flotilla. The ceremonies and salutes during the formation will make the scene one of lirilliancy. The last of the government, state and merchant marine vessels will leave this locality about i 145 p. m. ; the combined fleet passing up the North River. This passage up the North River will be especially eft'ect- ive as the vessels go by the piers, which will be decorated, and it is expected that salutes will be exchanged between ilie fleet and all merchant marine ships which lie in the docks. The head of the fleet will arrive at 42nd street, wdiere the southernmost battleship will probably be anchored ; the line of battleships extending northward to about 175th street. There will proljably be about 30 of them. When the head of the fleet reaches the above mentioned point at 42nd street, it will proceed to the westward of the men-of- war at slow speed rounding them at the northernmost end thereof, and proceerl down the stream. In the meantime the Escort flotilla which has been at tlic rear of the parade will have started up the east side of the men-of-war at about 3 p. m. from the neighborhood of 97th street, having been joined by a moscjuito fleet of 1 170 Minutes of Executive Committee cutters, launches, canoes and other appropriate small boats. The parade of this tleet of small boats will be properly heralded by salutes from the men-of-war. a flight of day firewords and music, together with other ceremonies from the countless small boats anchored within the pier head line on the New York side ; and slowly approaching the ofificial landing place, will arrive at iioth street at 3:30 p. m. where the " Half ^^foon '' and " Clermont "' will be turned over to the proper officials by the Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee. In the meantime the fleet of merchant vessels will be coming down the river, and will reach the reviewing pier at iioth street at 4 p. m. The arrangements for passing in review will make a remarkably fine effect while the pre- vious salutes between the men-of-war and fleet will be most eft'ective. The details concerning" the participation of tliC men-of-war are being arranged between the Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee and Rear Admiral Schroeder of the Atlantic Fleet. The merchant marine vessels will then go down stream to their piers and having discharged their passengers, the fleet will again leave their piers at 6:30 >p. m., proceed to the lower bay. take the same formation as it did in the morning, leave there at 7 130 p. m. and proceed in the same manner as in the afternoon, reaching the southernmost man-of-war at about 8:40 p. m., thence proceed in the same manner as in the afternoon around the men-of-war and back to their piers. The trip around the men-of-war will last, at slow speed, until 10 'p. m. From 8 45 p. m. until 10 p. m., the display of fireworks will occur, the men-of- war having been previously illuminated and using their search lights. The steamers ought to reach their piers again about 10:30 p. m. The following is an abstract of the rou-tine for the day: Parade of the Half Moon and Clermont with Escort along Staten Island and Brooklyn shores from 10:30 to I 130 p. m. Merchant marine fleet in lower bay from 12 :30 to 1 130 p. m. Parade up the Hudson from Governor's Island to 97th street, arriving there at 2 :30 p. m. Parade of fleet north bound and passage of Half ^loon and Clermont to official pier, from 2 :30 to 3 :i5 p. m. Reception of Half Moon and Clermont. 3:30p.m. Review of south-bound fleet 4:00 p. m. Official exercises at i loth street 4 :30 p. m. June 2 1, 1909 - 1 1 71 Reception followed by supper lo the men-of-war's men and others who have rendered their services as Escort for the Half Moon and Clermont... 5:00p.m. Arranj^cincnfs for Rcccf'tioii at Ofiicia! Laiidiiio-, In the discussion of the naval program for Saturday, September 2^. Captain !\Iiller referred to the exercises at the official landini;- at iioth street and Riverside Park. He said that the reviewing siand at that point would hold about 3000 persons. Air. Sackett inquired if the details of the naval reception at Tioth street had been arranged, and in the ensuing dis- cussion it appeared that no definite i)rogram on land had been arranged at tliat point. It was therefore voted that the arrangements for the offi- cial reception at iioth street and Riverside Park on Satur- day, Septeml>er 25th. l)e referred to the Reception Com- mittee, the Xaval Parade Committee and the officers of the Commission jointly.

The following letter was read for information and or- dered to be entered in the minutes : HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK CITY. New York, N. Y., June 3, 1909. Mr. Herman Ridder, Acting President, Hiidson-Fulton Celebration Commission, New York City. My Dear Sir : — The Committee which was appointed and conferred with you regarding the entertainment of your foreign guests at the time of next fall's celebration, made the following report and recommended its adoption, viz : I. That the members of the New York Hotel Associa- tion hereby agree to care for these guests by furnishing *Several other acceptances have been received since the date of the above report. June 2 1, 1909 1 1 73 free of charge (to them or your committee), lodging, meals, drinkables, valet service and laundry work, but that they will not be expected to pay their carriage bills, cal)le, telegraph and telephone charges, etc. 2. It is our understanding, that these guests consist of the special envoys (and their servants) sent by the various governments holding diplomatic intercourse with this coun- try in answer to your invitation. Also the members of the diplomatic corps in Washington representing foreign coun- tries, the members of the Cabinet, the Governor of the State of New York, of New Jersey and of Pennsylvania. 3. That your committee will use judgment in distributing these guests among as many hotels as possible, a list of which is herewith enclosed. 4. That this Association must decline to advise the Com- miittee as to such allotment on the ground that it would be embarrassing for any member of this Association to have to make suggestions. 5. That inasmuch as it is easy for your committee to as- certain the regular stopping place in Xew York of the Am- bassadors and Ministers accredited at Washington, they should as far as possible be assigned to those houses. If this is your understanding, kindl}- acknowledge it by your acceptance, and oblige, Yours very truly. Fred A. Reed, Secretary. $2f),ooo Approf^riatcd for Aeronautics Couiuiittcc. Mr. Beck, Chairman of the Aeronautics Committee, said that at the last meeting of the Trustees, the report of his Committee had been referred to the Executive Committee with power. (See pp. 1117-1119.) It was essential now that the Aeronautics Committee know whether it would re- ceive the appropriation of $25,000 asked for. He believed that the Hudson-Fulton Celebration could not conclude in a more fitting manner than by supplementing the reproduc- tions of the Half Moon and the Clermont with an exhibi- tion of airships, representing the latest achievement in the science of locomotion. If the appropriation were granted, it was the purpose of the Aeronautics Committee to engage Mr. William J. Hammer, who was mentioned in the Com- mittee's report, to assist in arranging the program. Mr.' 1 1 74 Minutes of Executive Committee Hammer, whose home address is No. 153 West 46th street, New York, is by profession a consuhing electrical engineer of high standing. He has a wide acquaintance with aero- nauts in America, Great Britain, France, Germany an'i Austria. Something of his standing is indicated by the fact that ]\Ir. Edison placed $100,000 at his command and gave him carte blanche to arrange his exhibit at the Paris Ex- position in 1889. He is also a member of both the Aero Club America and the Aeronautic Society of New York. Mr. Beck said that Mr. Hammer had prepared a tentative program which he ( ]\Ir. Beck) and Mr. Berri thought might be niodified to advantage, so as to concentrate upon the stellar features of aeronautical science. He hoped that the Wright brothers might be persuaded to make a flight ; but if. owing to absence abroad or other cause, it should prove to be impracticable to secure either of them, the Committee might be able to get someone whom the Wrights have trained in the meantime for the United States Army. He quoted Mr. Ridder as having informed him that a Ger- man army officer had intimated that an airship of the Parsi- fal type might be sent over from Germany. He also said tjiat the Committee would make an effort to secure Dela- grange and Farman. With $25,000, the Committee could do something creditable. Mr. Berri expressed the belief that the Commission would be sorry if it did not have an aeronautical demonstration. The progress in aerial navigation, he said, has been so great that the attention of the whole world has been drawn to the subject of the navigation of the air. He felt that in justice boih to the Commission and to the people, the Com- mission should do something, not only to show what has been accomplished thus far in the conquest of the air, but also to promote aerial science. The latter in itself would be a substantial accomplishment of practical and lasting value. He did not think $25,000 was enough, but at was enough to start on. Mr. Sackett asked if any portion of the money would be added to the $10,000 prize offered by a prominent New York newspaper. June 21, 1909 1175 Mr. Beck intimated that none of the money of this Com- mission would be added to that prize, but that the Com- mittee might offer independent inducements to stimulate competition. Nothing definite, however, had been deter- mined upon. Mr. Sackett said that he was entirely satisfied that noth- ing in the whole celebration would appeal so powerfully to the popular imagination or be so effective in an educational way. He thought that the Commission should not let the opportunity go by. At the conclusion of the discussion, it was unanimously voted that $25,000 be appropriated for the use of the Com- mittee on Aeronautics.* The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary. * At a meeting of the Committee on Aeronautics held immediately after adjournment, Mr. William J. Hammer was engaged by the Committee at the rate of $1,000 a month for a period of four months dating from June 21, 1909. 1 1 76 llrottx (EtttEPttH* (Eotttmtttp?

With reference to the amount given for the Recep- tion Committee, he said that it was a nominal sum to cover clerical assistance ; and that the large expenses of entertain- ing the official guests would be met by the hotel men. Dr. Low. Chairman of the Reception Committee, said that he thought it was doubtful if it were practicable to get ii86 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting along with such a small allowance but it was worth trying. If it should not prove practicable, his committee would want to come to the Trustees for the funds necessary to perform She duties of the Reception Committee properly. The report was received and ordered on file. Subscriptions Acknozvledged. Mr. Ridder reported that in response to the invitation of the Commission for popular subscriptions, the following ;aniounts had been contributed toward the expenses of the Celebration.

Allocation of Upper Hudson Funds Approved. Col. AlacArthur, Chairman of the Upper Hudson Com- mittee, reported that the Upper Hudson Committee had iigo Minutes of Trustees' Meeting allocated the fund of $100,000 set aside for use along the Hudson river at and northerly of Newburgh as stated in the following letter: Hudson, N, Y., June 16, 1909. Hon. Herman Ridder, Acting President, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, Tribune Building, New York City. My Dear Sir: — At the last meeting of the Upper Hud- son Committee, held at the city of Troy on the 12th inst., the following " Committee on Finance and Audit " was ap- pointed, for the purpose, among other things, of passing on and auditing all bills contracted by and chargeable to the Upper Hudson Committee, prior to their being forwarded to your Executive Committee: Henry Hudson (Hudson), Chairman; Hon. Arthur MacArthur (Troy), ex-officio; Hon. Benjamin McClung (Newburgh), Hon. Arthur L. Andrews (Albany), Hon. Walter P. Crane (Kingston), Hon. John K. Sague (Poughkeepsie), Mr. Cornelius F. Burns (Troy), Gen. W. S. C. Wiley (Catskill), and Hon. M. D. Hanson (Cohoes). I am sending you this notice pursuant to a suggestion contained in a communication from Col. Sackett, as Secre- tary, to Mr. William J. McKay of Newburgh, which com- munication appears in the minutes of the meeting above mentioned. At the above mentioned meeting the following appropria- tions were made, being the apportionment of the $100,000 to be expended by the Upper Hudson Committee : Newburgh $32,000 Poughkeepsie 9, 500 Kingston 7,000 Catskill 3>50O Hudson 8,000 Albany 18,000 Troy 15,000 General expenses 5,ooo Purchase of Lake Champlain Floats, pursuant to agreement 2,000 $100,000 I remain. Respectfully, Wm. Wortman, Ass't Sec'y Upper Hudson Committee. June 23, 1909 1 191 Col. ]\IacArthur moved that the apportionment recom- mended by the Upper Hudson Committee be ratified and confirmed. In making this motion, he said that personally he had favored using a portion of the funds in smaller places, and that there were some other protests against ap- portioning the whole fund to the large places. The appor- tionment, however, had first been adopted by a majority of the Upper Hudson Committee present at the meeting, and subsequently the division was approved unanimously. Mr. McKay said that all of the communities to which these funds were apportioned were also going down into their own pockets for private funds with which to supple- ment the State moneys. The only people wdio were not satisfied with the allotment were those who manifested no interest in the Celebration until they learned that there was some money to spend. After some further discussion Col. ]\IacArthur's motioa was unanimously adopted. Report of Loivcr Hudson Couiiuittcc. ]\Ir. Leonard was accorded the courtesy of the floor to present the following report in behalf of Mayor Warren, Chairman of the Lower Hudson Committee : The Lower Hudson Committee, of which I am Chairman, has been actively at work on the preparations necessary for a successful celebration along the Hudson, from Yonkers to Cold Spring inclusive, from October 3rd to October 9th, 1909. All the places wdthin this territory have organized, have appointed committees and sub-committees and are attending to the special work of their various localities. My Execu- tive Aide has attended these meetings in the various locali- ties, has helped in the organization and work of the com- mittees, and reports great interest in the work. Nearly every evening he has attended a meeting of some local com- mittee, and intends visiting each place as often as possible. Yonkers has appointed a local committee of over 200 in number, sub-divided into twelve committees, the chairmen of; which form the local executive committee, and the parade of October 4th in this city, with the efficient co-operation 1192 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting of New Rochelle, Mount Vernon and White Plains, prom- ises to be a most satisfactory one. This Committee furnishes to each locahty twenty of the historical floats used in the Historical Parade m New York City on September 28th, together with 75 of the Indians, two bands of music, the professional attendance, and cos- tumes for the amateur characters mannmg the respective The program for the Lower Hudson week from October 3rd to October 9th, which is attached to this report, has been printed in your minutes (pp. 1132-1133)- . North Tarrytown. Tarrytown and Irvmgton are making active preparations for their parade of October 5th, while Nyack on October 6th promises to bring out the entire strength of the neighboring villages in their parade. Ossinino- intends making the parade of October 7th m connection with Briarcliff and Scarborough, a most notable one in their local annals. Peekskill on October 8th will utilize the entire day in their parade and on Saturday, Oc- tober 9th, the water parade of the floats on barges will proceed by West Point and Cold Spring, and be participated m by the villages of Highland Falls and Garrisons. On the afternoon of October 7th, a water parade wil take place off Stony Point, for the benefit of the villages of Haverstravv', West Haverstraw and Stony Point. A great deal of local interest has been manifested in these villages, not only in the celebration in New York City and along the Lower Hudson during the first week, but in this subse- quent celebration of the second week. The Lower Hudson Committee suggests that a new otfi- cial plan of celebration be printed combining all the locali- ties to date, as all of the publications of the Commission seem based on an antiquated plan proposed last Noveniber, even the admirable book published this month by the Ldu- cation Department being seriously at fault m this respect. Dr. Kunz inquired what provision had been made for the celebration at the Stony Point Battlefield State Reservation. Apparently no provision had been made to meet the ex- penses of the exercises at that place on Saturday, October 2, when the Memorial Arch wall be dedicated and the Gov- ernor will be present. Mr. Leonard said that the arrangement for the water parade off Stony Point on Thursday, October 7, for the June 23, 1909 1 193 benefit of Haverstraw, West Haverstraw and Stony Point appeared to be satisfactory to tbose communities ; and that the Lower Hudson Committee had considered that only events of the second week came within its jurisdiction. In the discussion which ensued there was an evident di- vergence of opinion, the action of the Trustees on May 26th (.page 1 131) in striking out the Hmiting words "second week " having caused some to understand that the appro- priation of $25,000 for the Lower Hudson inchided the events of both wrecks between Xew York and Xewburgh Bay. Mr. Ridder said that the matter could readily be adjusted. The report was then received and ordered on file. Reports of Progress. The remaining committees were then called in alphabet- ical order and brief reports of progress were made in be- half of the Art and Historical Exhibits Committee by Dr. Kunz ; Banquet Committee and Brooklyn Committee by ]\Ir. Creighton ; Children's Festivals Committee bv ~Slr. Parsons ; Clermont Committee by Mr. Olcott ; Inwood Hill Park Committee by Mr. Sackett ; Patriotic Societies by Mr. Fitch, and Public Safety by Commissioner McCarroll, by letter. Badges, Flag and Poster Referred to Executive Committee. Air. Ames, Acting Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster, presented a report which was referred to the Executive Committee with power. $1000 Appropriated for Bronx Coniniittec. It was voted that $1000 be appropriated for the expenses of the Bronx Committee. Carniz'al and Historical Parades Report. Mr. Ridder, Chairman of the Committee on Carnival and Historical Parades, reported at length on the afit'airs of that Committee. He said that instead of the two parades origin- ally planned — the Historical Parade in Manhattan during the daytime Tuesday, September 28, and the Carnival 1 1 94 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Parade in Manhattan during the evening of Saturday, Oc- tober 2 — the plans now included seven parades as follows: Tuesday, September 28, day Historical Parade in Alan- hattan; Wednesday, September 29, day Historical Parade in the Bronx ; Friday, October i, day Historical Parade in Brooklyn; Saturday, October 2, evening Carnival Parade in Man- hattan ; Saturday, October 2, day Historical Parade in Richmond Borough ; Saturday, October 9, evening Carnival Parade in Brook- lyn ; Date to be selected, day Historical Parade in Queens. The original estimate of the cost of the Carnival and Historical Parades in Manhattan had been about $190,170; but the addition of the parades in the other four boroughs and the cost of sending certain floats up the river for use north of New York added $30,120 to the expense, making a total of $220,290. It was expected that from $3o",ooo to $50,000 would be recovered from the sale of paraphernalia after the Celebration. With reference to the cost of the whole Celebration, he referred to his report as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, already presented, which, he said, had been carefully gone over by the President and Assistant Secretary who concurred in his opinion that the Commission was safely within its resources. He said that if any of the Trustees desired further details he would be happy to give them. Dates of Carnival and Historical Parades Adopted. Dr. Low moved that the dates for the Carnival and His- torical Parades proposed in Mr. Ridder's report be ap- proved. Carried. Appropriation for Carnival and Historical Parades In- creased to $225,000. Dr. Low also moved that the sum of $75,000 be appro- priated for the Carnival and Historical Parades in addition June 23, 1909 1 195 to the appropriation of $150,000 made by the Trustees May 26 (page 1 121), making a total appropriation of $225,000. Carried. Question of Indians Referred to Executive Committee. j\Ir. Ridder moved that the contract for supplying In- dians for the parades be let to the lowest bidder. Dr. Kunz moved to amend by adding the proviso that none but New York State Indians should be provided. He believed that in view of the hostility of the Canadian In- dians and the friendliness of the Iroquois Indians, there was involved a matter of sentiment which should not be disregarded. After some discussion. Dr. Kunz, by general consent, modified his motion so as to refer the subject to the Execu- tive Committee with power. Mr. Ridder accepted the amendment and the motion was adopted. Construction of Historical Floats. Air. Hoffman, Chairman of the Historical Committee, reported that 46 historical floats had been constructed and approved ; and four more were under construction from approved designs. One additional float for the Upper Hudson had been approved, and four additional floats had been authorized but the designs had not yet been accepted, making a total of 55 historical floats authorized. Plans for Illuminations. IMr. Berri, Chairman of the Committee on Illuminations, reported that agreements had been made for the illumina- tions as planned inside of the estimates with one exception not to be reported. INIr. Berri said that the plans heretofore reported had been adjusted to as to include the illumination of the town hall of Jamaica, the town hall of Flushing and the water tower at Prospect Park, Brooklyn. 1 196 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Additions to Manhattan Citi::cns Connnittee. The courtesy of the floor was accorded to Mr. Eliot Tuckerman, Secretary of the Manhattan Citizens Commit- tee, and he reported that since the last meeting of the Trus- tees of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, the following named gentlemen had been added to the Man- hattan Citizens' Committee by the Mayor: Mr. Joseph C. Graveur, Mr. Harry Joyce, Mr. Adam Schneider and Mr. Cornelius Scott ; also that the following had been made members of this Committee by appointment by Mr. Choate: Mr. Charles A. Ball, Capt. C. E.

Raymond, Isir. Arnold L. Scheuer, Mr. Charles H. Strong, Mr. James E. Sullivan, Mr. Julien S. Uhlman. Medal Matters Referred to E.vecutiz'e Connnittee. It was voted that all matters relating to the official medals be referred to the Executive Committee with power. Publication Matters Referred. Mr. Bergen, Chairman of the Committee on Memorials, reported as follows : The sub-committee of the Executive Committee ap- pointed with the Chairman of the Memorials Committee with power to act upon the question of the proposed pub- lications of the Commission report that they have decided to seek to obtain the services of responsible publishers or printers who will undertake the entire work of printing and publishing without expense to the Commission and agree to pay to the Commission some royalties. The Committee, aided by the estimates of cost of printing and publishing and the opinions of those engaged in the business of pub- lishing and distributing pamphlets, etc., think that the pro- ceeds of the royalties that might be paid on the sales of the programs, etc., should yield the Commission at least $25,000. The Committee hope to have in a few days others to undertake this work. z O CO <2 5 Z O o z o < a CD ui _i UI o z o I- _l 3 o CO Q 3 I Ul I ta a UJ o o < < o UJ z CO Ul o I June 23, 1909 1 197 The report was received and referred to the Chairman of the Memorials Committee and the Officers of the Commis- sion with power. Honorary Foreign Councillors Aj-'f'ointcd. Mr. Bergen moved that as a special mark of honor b)^ the Commission in gratitude for the munificent gift of the new ship " The Half ^loon " to be made by the people of The Netherland in aid of the Celebration, the title of " Honorary Foreign Councillors to the Commission "' be given each member of the Netherlands Hudson-Fulton Commission, under the patronage of His Royal Highness, Prince Henry of the Netherlands, Duke of Mecklenburg; and that special certificates of this action be executed by the President and the Secretary of this Commission and sent to the members of the Netherlands Hudson-Fulton Com- mission. (See pp. 1 149-51 for names.) Carried. Mr. Seligman said that Mr. Bergen intended to visit Holland this summer, and he moved that Mr. Bergen be commissioned to deliver the certificates in person. Carried. Additional Appropriation of $2,000 for Music Fcstiz'als. The Secretary presented a letter from Mr. Lindenthal, Chairman of the Music Festivals Committee, requesting an additional appropriation to cover the cost of a concert by the Apollo Club in the Brooklyn Academy of Alusic Sep- tember 27 and other items of expense. Mr. Ridder moved that in addition to the $13,000 voted by the Trustees May 26 (page 1134), $2,000 be appro- priated to the Music Festivals Committee, making a total of $15,000. Carried. Recommended for Appointment by Governor. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Committee on Nominations, presented a report recommending Mr. John Henry Living- ston of Tivoli, grandson of Chancellor Livingston, for ap- pointment by the Governor as a member of the Commission. The report was received and the recommendation adopted. 1 198 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Additiojial Trustees Elected. Mr. Fitch also presented a report nominating the follow- ing named members of the Commission for election as trustees : Col. Andrew D. Baird Dr. George C. Batcheller Constructor Wm. J. Bax- ter, U.S.N. Mr. Russell Benedict Mr. Alexander F. Bouvet Hon. M. Linn Bruce Hon. Chauncey M. Depew Hon. .Andrew S. Draper Mr. Wm. Temple Emmet Mr. Frank L. Frugone ^Ir. T. Greidanus Hon. John W.

Timothy P. Sullivan Hon. Leslie Sutherland Mr. Charles Swanson Mr. Henry W. Taft Col. Robert M. Thompson Mr. Eliot Tuckerman Hon. E. L. Winthrop, Jr. Mr. Vincent W. Woytisek. Mr. Fitch moved that if there be no objection, the Secre- tary be directed to cast one ballot in behalf of the meeting for the nominees. The motion was carried unanimously. The ballot having been cast as directed, the President declared the nominees elected. OiUcial Literary Exercises Limited in Manhattan. General Wilson, Chairman of the Official Literary Exer- cises, reported that his Committee deemed it expedient to have only one center for Official Literary Exercises in Manhattan Borough on Tuesday evening, September 28, namely, at the Metropolitan Opera House, and he moved that this recommendation be approved. Carried. Report of Reception Committee. Dr. Low, Chairman of the Reception Committee, re- ported that through the effective service of Dr. Batcheller, Vice-tChairman of the Committee, in co-operation with June 23, 1909 1 199 Mr. Riddcr, the New York Hotel Men's Association had agreed to furnish accommodations for the ofifiicial guests of the Commission without expense ; and he recapitulated the contents of the letter printed on page 1172 of the Minutes. He therefore moved that the very hearty thanks of the Commission be extended to the Plotel Men's Association for the very public spirited way in which the Association had met the wishes of the Commission. Carried. Dr. Low said that he had received several valuable sug- gestions and inquiries from various members of the Com- mittee. Admiral Melville had suggested that the Secre- taries of Legations be invited; and ]\Ir. Stetson had sug- gested that every ex-Governor of the State and ex-]\Iayor of the City be invited, together with other State and Municipal officials. Upon motion, these suggestions were referred to the Invitations Committee. Dr. Low presented the resignation of Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge as a member of the Committee and it was accepted ; and upon Dr. Low's suggestion Mr. Samuel W. Fairchild, Chairman of the House Committee of the Union League Club, was appointed a member of the Reception Com- mittee. Col. \Tooman said that in the plans for the entertain- ment of naval guests, he had not noticed any reference to the entertainment of the sailors. He called attention to the fact that when the American Fleet circumnavigated the world, the sailors were accorded hospitality appropriate to their position in almost every port. He felt that the entente cordiale between the .United States and foreign nations would be strengthened by extending suitable cour- tesies to the sailors, as well as the more distinguished honors to the officers. He therefore moved that the sub- ject of showing appropriate attention to the visiting sailors be referred to the Executive Committee and Naval Parade Committee with power. Carried. Mr. Muschenheim, to whom was accredited much of the success of the arrangements with the hotel men, was asked I200 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting to speak, but he asked to be excused and endeavored to transfer the credit to Mr. Ridder. $1,000 Voted for Richmond Committee. Mr. Richards, Chairman of the Richmond Citizens Committee, reported that the plans for the celebration in Richmond Borough were rapidly maturing. The Commit- tee was endeavoring to arrange the dates so as not to con- flict with any important functions elsewhere. It was diffi- cult, however, to have the same day for the Children of Staten Island as in Manhattan for the reason that they were to have the historical floats on Saturday, October 2, and it would be better to have the children's festivals on some other day. Mr. Ridder suggested that ]\Ir. Richards confer with Mr. Samuel Parsons, Chairman of the Children's Festivals Committee, and come to some mutual arrangement. Mr. Ridder moved that $1,000 be appropriated for the expenses of the Richmond Committee. Carried. Launching of the Clermont. Mr. Olcott, Chairman of the Clermont Committee, re- ported that the vessel would be ready for launching on Saturday, July lOth ; and he suggested that the President designate someone to represent the Commission officially on that occasion and to make an address. Referred to the Clermont Committee, the Naval Parade Committee and officers of the Commission with power. Hudson Monument at Spuytcn Diiyvil. Mr. Bergen reported, upon information received from Mr. Muschenheim, that it was expected that ground would soon be acquired for the Henry Hudson monument, to be erected on Spuyten Duyvil Hill by private subscription ; and that the formal opening of the ground and the com- mencement of construction would take place on July 5. He therefore moved that the President of the Commission appoint a committee, of which the President himself should be a member, to be present on that occasion. Carried. June 23, 1909 1 20 1 The Maine Momtmcnt. General Wdlson referred to the proposed erection of a monument to the memory of the sailors who perished on the United States man-of-war Maine in Havana harbor, and suggested that if the monument he ready, its dedica- tion form a part of the official programme. Referred to the Executive Committee with power. Mr. Scivard JVclcouicd. The President said that before entertaining a motion to adjourn, he was sure that all the Trustees would join with him in extending a very heart}- and affectionate welcome to their distinguished and beloved colleague. Mr. Secretary Seward, who was with them to-day after a protracted and dangerous illness. His bright eye and fresh color were indications of a restoration to health which the Trustees noted with very great pleasure. Mr. Seward said that he greatly appreciated the greeting so courteously extended to him and assured the Trustees that the pleasure of his return was mutual. He was glad to find that the plan and scope of the Celebration recom- mended by the committee of which he had the honor to be chairman had been taken up by the Trustees ; that they had improved the plan and had enlarged the scope; and had done it all within the financial resources of the Com- mission. Trustees' Meetings Continued During Summer. In putting the motion to adjourn, the President stated that owing to the brevity of the interval between the pres- ent date and the celebration and the importance of the business to be transacted, the Trustees' meetings would not be intermitted this summer as they were last year and that the next meeting would be held on Wednesday, July 28. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretarv.

Schwab, presenting his resignation as a mem- ber of the Commission on account of engrossing business engagements and absence abroad. The resignation was accepted with regret. June 30, 1909 1203 Election as Trustees Declined. The Secretary presented letters dated June 29tli from the Hon. Ehhu Root, and the Hon. Allen N. Spooncr. de- clining their election as trustees of the Commission, but retaining their membership on the Commission itself. The declinations were accepted with regret.

Brady, Chairman of the LJronx Citizens' Committee and Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Half Moon and Equipments to be Admitted Free of Duty. The Secretary presented a letter dated June 29th from the Hon. Huntington Wilson, Acting Secretary of State, transmitting a copy of the following letter: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, June 24, 1909. The Honorable The Secretary of State: Sir: Referring to your letter of the i8th instant, inclos- ing a copy of a despatch from the American Minister at The Hague, requesting that a reproduction of Henry Hud- son's vessel the " Half Moon " which is being sent to this country for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration at New York City, be admitted free of duty, I have the honor to inform you that the Collector of Customs at that port has this day been authorized to admit said vessel without payment of duty, under the provisions of paragraph 702 of the tariiT act of 1897, and to waive sureties upon the bond required by said paragraph to be given upon entry. Respectfully, J, B. Reynolds, Acting Secretary. The Secretary was requested to embody the letter in the minutes of the meeting. I204 Minutes of Executive Committee Bill Approved for Payment. The bill of Hon. Samuel Parsons, for disbursements as Chairman of the Children's Festivals Committee, amount- ing to $250, was approved for payment, subject to the examination and approval of the Auditing Committee. City Appropriation to he Expended xvithout Public Letting. The Secretary laid before the Committee a letter dated June 28th, from the Secretary of the Hon. Patrick F. McGowan, President of the Board of Aldermen, trans- mitting- a copy of approved paper No. 307, adopted by the Board of Aldermen, April 13, 1909, and received from His Honor, The Mayor, April 27, 1909, without his ap- proval or disapproval and which, as provided in Section 40 of the Greater New York Charter, took effect the same as if the Mayor had approved it. The resolution reads: Resolved, That, in pursuance of the provisions of sec- tion 419 of the Greater New York Charter, His Honor the Mayor, and such Committee of the Board of Alder- men as may be appointed in the premises, are hereby au- thorized and empowered to enter into contract, without public letting, for the making of arrangements and the furnishing of supplies, etc., necessary to the part that The City of New York may take in the Hudson-Fulton cele- bration, to begin Saturday, September 25, 1909, to the extent of the appropriation set apart by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, two hundred and fifty thou- sand dollars ($250,000), in accordance with the resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen, March 9, 1909, and received from His Honor the Mayor, March 23. 1909, under the provisions of subdivision 8 of section 188 of the Greater New York charter. Souvenir Publications Authorized to be Printed. Mr. Bergen, Chairman of the Committee on Memorials, made an extended report concerning the proposed ofificial publications. After conferring with Mr. Ridder, Chair- man of the Ways and Means Committee and with the other officers of the Commission, it seemed to be advisable to postpone the publication of the book of the Celebration June 30, 1909 1205 until after the Celebration had taken place. He had, therefore, secured revised estimates on the basis of issuinsr souvenir programmes, post-cards, etc., and submitted propositions upon this subject. After a full discussion, Mr. Olcott moved that Mr. Ber- gen be authorized to accept the proposition of the Redfield Brothers Incorporated, of 311 West 43d street, New York City, if, within a few days, he could not secure a more satisfactory proposal. The motion was carried. Mr. Bergen stated that the arrangement with Mr. Paine as editor of the publications, was about to be terminated and asked who would furnish the manuscript for the pub- lications to be printed by Redfield Brothers. It was voted that the arrangements for the editorial work of the publications by Redfield Brothers be referred to Mr, Bergen and the Assistant Secretary with power. Banquet Arrangements Anthorhed. In the absence of Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson, Chairman of the Banquet Committee, the Assistant Secretary laid before the Executive Committee a copy of the minutes of the Banquet Committee meeting held June 29th, and moved that the resolutions adopted by the Banquet Com- mittee be approved. The more important of these resolutions provide as fol- lows: That the official banquet be given in the large hall of the Hotel Astor on the evening of Wednesday, September 29th ; That arrangements be made for the accommodation of 1,800 guests, with the understanding that such number may be decreased or increased, as shall be found to be necessary ; That the only invited speakers at the banquet shall be the Governor of the State of New York, the Ex-Governors of the State of New York, the United States Senators from the State of New York, the Mayor of the City of New York, and the President of the United States, or if the lat- ter be absent, the Vice-President of the United States; i2o6 Minutes of Executive Committee That every member of the Commission and of the Borough Citizens' Committees be invited to subscribe to the dinner at the price of twenty dollars a cover ; That approximately 250 seats at the Banquet be pro- vided for the Legislature and State Officers at the price of $17.50 each, including souvenirs. That the chairman be authorized to order as many silver medals as, in his judgment, may be needed for souvenirs for the banquet at a price not exceeding $3.50 each; And that the Commission provide for all of the expenses incurred under these resolutions, with the understanding that repayment shall be made to the Commission out of the receipts of the banquet so far as the same shall be sufficient to make such repayment. The other resolutions of the Banquet Committee re- ferred to such details as menu, clerical assistants, printing, invitations, and decorations. After a general discussion of the various resolutions, the motion that the action of the Banquet Committee be approved and that the Commission provide for the ex- penses incurred as requested, was adopted. Cormuall in the Jurisdiction of the Lower Hudson. The Assistant Secretary asked the Committee for a de- cision of the question whether Cornwall comes within the jurisdiction of the Upper or Lower Hudson Committee. Chapter 448 of the Laws of 1909 provides that $100,000 of the $300,000 appropriated by the bill, " is to be appro- priated and expended by the Commission for the purposes of the Celebration upon the Hudson River at and northerly of the city of Newburgh." When the several local Com- mittees which had been appointed to attend to celebrations along the Upper Hudson were abolished on January 7, 1909, and a new Committee known as the Upper Hudson Committee was appointed in their place, the representative of Cornwall was added to the Upper Hudson Committee; but in view of the wording of the appropriation act of 1909, it was the opinion of several members of the Com- mission that Cornwall did not properly come within the June 3c, 1909 1207 territory expected to be covered by the appropriation for the Upper Hudson. The Assistant Secretary therefore moved that Cornwall be considered as within the jurisdiction of the Lower Hud- son Committee. Carried. Proposition for Pasters for Envelopes Laid Upon the Table. • The Assistant Secretary laid before the Committee the proposition of the Dennison Manufacturing Company to manufacture for public sale a small paster about i^xi^ inches in size, calling- attention to the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, designed to be affixed to the envelopes of general correspondence. The matter was laid on the table without action. $300 looted for Launching the Clermont. Captain Miller. Chairman of the Naval Parade Com- mittee, and Mr. Olcott, Chairman of the Clermont Com- mittee, reporteil the arrangements which were being made for the launching of the Clermont on Saturday, July loth, at 2 p. m. Captain Miller stated that i\Irs. Arthur Taylor Sut- clifte, great granddaughter of Robert Fulton, had been selected as sponsor for the Clermont. It was voted that $500 be appropriated for the expenses attending the launching of the '' Clermont." Robert Fulton's Tcniperanee Principles. i\Ir. Olcott said that in launching the Clermont it was proposed to name her with water drawn from the well at Clermont, which was Chancellor Livingston's place, over- looking the Hudson. With reference to the propriety of using water instead of wine in this ceremony, Mr. Olcott handed to the Secretary an extract from a letter written by Robert Fulton from London, October 20, 1805, in which he said : " If there is intemperance in any one — I cannot be that person's friend, for I feel a kind of contempt for the being i2o8 Minutes of Executive Committee who is so imprudent as to extinguish the Httle sense which falls to the lot of man, in the poisonous fumes of ardent liquors : such a person has not sense to be his own friend and does not merit the friendship of others." It was voted that the invitations to the ceremony be signed by the President of the Commission, the Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee and the Chairman of the Clermont Committee. Ground to be Broken July jtJi for Hudson Monument Mr. Muschenheim reported that ground would be broken on Spuyten Duyvil Hill on Monday, July 5th at 3 p. m. for the Hudson Monument and it would be a gratification to the Committee in charge to have as many members of the Commission present as possible. Mr. Ridder said that he would endeavor to be present and in behalf of the other members of the Commission thanked Mr. Muschenheim for his kind invitation. $5,000 Additional Voted for Illuminations. Mr. Berri, Chairman of the Committee on Illuminations, reported that his Committee had discovered that it had a great and growing thing on its hands, but New York City was a great city and this discovery was not altogether in the nature of a surprise. He said that when he, as Chair- man of the Committee on Illuminations, came to confer with Mr. Charles R. Lamb, Chairman of the Committee on Decorations, and Mr. C. F. Lacombe, Chief Engineer of Light and Power of the City of New York, they showed that the financial provision for illuminating the line of march was inadequate to make a proper showing for the City of New York. Mr. Lacombe proposed to supplement the plans already made by erecting at each street crossing along the line of march an upright with cross lights at an elevation of thirty-five feet ; and Mr. Lamb had suggested the erection of Venetian posts throughout the line of parade or at least at the Court of Honor. He said that all the members of the Committee June 30, 1909 1209 would remember Mr. Lamb's distinguished services in con- nection with the designing of the beautiful Dewey Arch and other public decorations at the time of tlie Dewey Parade, and in view of his authoritative position as an artist, his opinion was regarded very highly by the Com- mittee on Illuminations. Air. Berri said further that on Tuesday evening, June 29th, the Edison Company had illuminated a part of Alad- ison Scjuare to illustrate a form of park illumination which was very beautiful and unique and which had never been done in this country before. They propose to illuminate twenty-two ])arks in Manhattan including Riverside Park and the west side of Central Park along the line of march. These illmriinations would last eight nights, and, if the Celebration was prolonged until October 9th, they would last two weeks. These various propositions, however, in- volved an additional appropriation if they were to be car- ried out. To make the illuminations at the cross streets as proposed would cost $10,000 and to make the illumina- tions in the twenty-two parks would cost another $10,000. Taking up another phase of the Illuminations Commit- tee's duties, Mr. Berri reported that a few days ago the Committee had made a trip up the Hudson River and selected sixteen points between New York and Newburgh for signal fires. All through the Hudson X'alley he found the greatest amount of patriotism and interest manifested by the residents. He said that a large amount of private money would be spent in addition to the money spent by this commission. It was expected that of the sixteen points selected by the Committee, however, the Govern- ment would take care of the illumination at West Point, Airs. Sage would provide for that at Constitution Island, and New Jersey would pay for that at Alpine. For these signal fires Air. Berri's Committee needed another $5,000. After a general discussion, it was voted that $5,000 in addition to the appropriations heretofore made for the Illuminations Committee be appropriated for Signal Fires along the Hudson River. I2IO Minutes of Executive Committee It was voted that a Committee consisting of Mr. Ridder, Mr. Berri and Mr. Charles R. Lamb, be appointed to take up the whole subject of illuminations and the decoration of reviewing stands and to co-ordinate the arrangements for those purposes. Date of Signal Fires Postponed to October pth. Mr. Berri said that as the plans of the Commission were developing, it appeared to be desirable to postpone the signal fires along the Hudson River from Saturday even- ing, October 2nd, to Saturday evening, October 9th and he moved that the final illumination of the Hudson River be postponed until October 9th. Carried. The Manufacture of Flags Authorised. The Assistant Secretary moved that the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster be authorized to make contracts for the manufacture of the Official Flag of the Commis- sion in accordance with its specifications. Carried. Poster Design on Envelopes. The proposition of the Sackett & Wilhelms Company of No. 73 Fifth avenue, New York, to print in reduced form the design of the official poster on envelopes for public sale, the envelopes to be sold at the price of $3.00 per thousand and the printers to pay to this Commission a royalty of 10 per cent, was referred to Mr. Ames and Mr. Bergen with power. (Mr. Ames and Mr. Bergen agreed on July i to accept the proposition in behalf of the Commission.) Only One Official Badge. It was voted that the Secretary be requested to notify the various Committees of the Commission that the Com- mission has only one official badge and that no other badge will receive official recognition. OFFICIAL BADGE OF THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION I June 30, 1909 I 21 1 Manufacture of Bad^^cs Autlioriacd. Mr. Hoffman moved that the design for the official badge submitted by the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster, be approved, and that that Committee be author- ized to contract with tlie WhitehcatI & Hoag Manufactur- ing Company for the manufacture of badges for public sale in accordance with the estimates submitted by them, provided that the dies shall be cut in a manner satisfac- tory to the designing artist and shall become the property of this Commission at the close of the Celebration. Carried. It was voted that the subject of the manufacture of badges for the members of the Commission be referred to the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster, with the re- quest that they submit a design for a badge smaller than 2^/2 inches in diameter. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretarv. I2I2 Minutes of The Upper Hudson Committee June 12, 1909 The fourth meeting of the Upper Hudson Committee of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission was held at the city of Troy, N.

June 12, 1909 ■ 1213 Reading of Minutes. The reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dis^ pensed with, on motion of Mr. Hamihon. Communications. The Assistant Secretary presented letters from Hon. • Charles H. Gaus of Albany, Hon. Samuel K. Phillips of Matteawan, Hon. Elias P. Mann of Troy, Mr. H. K. Bush- Brown of Newburgh, and Mr, R. J. McFarland of New York City, in which the writers expressed regret because of their inability to attend the meeting. Mr. C. F. Burns of Troy also presented the regrets of Mayor Elias P. Mann of Troy, and stated that it was im- possible for the mayor to attend this meeting because of other important engagements. Transportation Facilities. Mr. Burns (Troy) said that he believed it was time to take up the matter of transportation, and he moved that the Commission, through its Secretary, be requested to communicate with the railroad companies with a view to arranging for transportation facilities and rates. Carried. Nezvspapcr Representatives. On motion of Mayor Snyder (Albany) newspaper repre- sentatives were permitted to attend the meeting and report its proceedings. On motion of Mayor McClung (Newburgh) the citizens of Troy who were present at the meeting were invited to remain during- the session. 'tj Report of Committee on Apportionment. Mr. F. J. Collier (Hudson) reported as follows: "On behalf of the Apportionment Committee, of which Judge Clearwater is Chairman, and in his absence and at the request of the members of the Committee, I would report that the Committee has had several meetings at which it has discussed the best method for the apportionment of the one hundred thousand dollars among the municipalities 1 2 14 Minutes of Upper Hudson Committee of the upper Hudson, as provided by the bill that was passed by the last legislature, and at a meeting held just prior to this meeting the committee determined that, taking everything into consideration, it would be necessary to apportion the money among the county seats of the several counties along the Hudson river, with the exception of the city of Newburgh, — the county seat of Orange County being Goshen, but Newburgh in a sense being a shire city and being an important point in the celebration. With that exception, the committee decided to recommend that the moneys be apportioned among the county seats of the several counties bordering on the Hudson River north of Newburgh ; that is, Poughkeepsie representing Dutchess County, Kingston representing Ulster County, Catskill representing Greene County, Hudson representing Colum- bia County, Albany representing Albany County, and Troy representing Rensselaer County. And the committee fur- ther recommends that this one hundred thousand dollars be apportioned as follows: Newburgh, $32,000; Pough- keepsie, $9,500; Kingston, $7,000; Catskill, $3,500; Hud- son, $8,000 Albany, $18,000; Troy, $15,000; for general expenses, $5,000; for the purchase of Lake Champlain floats, $2,000. On behalf of the committee I move the adoption of this report." The motion was seconded by Mr. Troy (Poughkeepsie). Mr. George Esselstyn (Rhinebeck) suggested that the amount awarded to Dutchess County be separated, and said that the village of Rhinebeck had been requested by the State to participate in this event, and that in response to that request the village has made appropriations for a celebration, with the idea that while a celebration was taking place at Kingston on the one side of the river, a celebration would also be taking place on the opposite side. He asked that the sum of $1,500 be appropriated to the village of Rhinebeck for the purposes of a celebration. The Chairman stated that he presumed it was the desire of the memibers of the Committee that representatives from all localities along the river be given an opportunity to be June 12, 1909 1215 heard on this occasion, so that the members may know what the views of the various communities are, and that if no objection was made the same privilege would be granted to representatives of other localities as had been given to the representative from the village of Rhinebeck, who was not a member of the commission. Mayor Sague (Poughkeepsie) said he appreciated what Mr. Esselstyn had stated, but it seemed to him that the Commission had decided that the ceremonies of Dutchess County shall be observed at Poughkeepsie, and that there were twelve or more villages in that county, which if a division is to be made, should be entitled equally one with another, but that the moneys are inadequate to be divided among all the villages and he must register his disapproval of any division of the fund apportioned to Dutchess County, as the celebration in that county would not then be in conformity to the rec^uirements of the occasion. Mr. Esselstyn (Rhinebeck) said he understood that Rhinebeck was the only town in Dutchess County that had made any appropriations for the event, but Mayor Sague (Poughkeepsie) stated that he understood Red Hook and other towns had made apjiropriations. The Chairman inquired of Mr. Collier (Hudson) as to what the recommendation of the committee on apportion- ment was with reference to the appropriations, whether they should be made to the counties or to the county seats. Mr. Collier (Hudson) replied that the committee recom- mended the county seats, as he had previously stated in making his report. Mr. Hutchins (Albany) expressed the opinion that the matter should be taken care of by the members of the Commission residing in the several counties. Mr. Justus (Fishkill Landing) spoke in behalf of an appropriation for the village of Fishkill Landing. Mr. Burns (Troy) stated that it was incumbent upon this Upper Hudson Committee to bring about a fitting and proper celebration ; that the Commission has settled where the celebration is to be held, and that it will be impossible I2i6 Minutes of Upper Hudson Committee for the cities to give a proper celebration even within the means appropriated ; it will be necessary to raise additional funds. If a division of the amounts appropriated to the several cities mentioned in the report should be made, there will not be any kind of a celebration anywhere north of Newburgh. Mr. Stryker (Castleton) asked that an appropriation be made to the village of Castleton, and stated that the smaller towns should be considered in making the appor- tionment as they paid, by way of taxation, their propor- tionate share of moneys appropriated by the State. Mr. Lansing (Rensselaer) spoke in behalf of the city of Rensselaer, saying that when the bill which carried with it the appropriation was in the hands of the legislature, he had served on the committee of the Assembly which heard arguments on the matter, and that at that time it was agreed that the city of Rensselaer should be provided for and that obligation should now be carried out. It would be a difficult matter for this committee to attempt a division of the funds among every city, village and hamlet along the Hudson River, and he therefore believed that appropria- tions should be made to the county seats and be subse- quently distributed in the respective counties. Mr. Kinnear (Albany) said he understood that the Commission has distinctly stated at what places along the upper Hudson celebrations shall be held and had allowed six days for that purpose, and he did not see how it was possible to come within the allotted time if celebrations were to be held in a great many different places. If the county seats are not selected the appropriations should be made to the largest cities, because if an attempt is made to divide a little here and there no celebration worth men- tioning will be held. The Chairman asked permission to make a statement, called forth by the remarks of Mr. Lansing, and said that at one time during the progress of the bill through the Senate and Assembly it became necessary to enlist the support of legislators and with that in view he had assured Junf^ 12, 1909 I 217 Senator Grattan, who had raised some objection to the bill, that whatever appropriation would be made the city of Cohoes would be provided for; that Assemblyman Lan- sing had complained that the city of Rensselaer was ex- cluded, the bill at that time providing specifically for the subdivisions of the appropriation and naming the munici- palities among which the funds were to be distributed, and it was finally the concensus of opinion in the Finance Com- mittee that all mention of specific subdivisions of the ap- propriation should be stricken out so that a proper distribu- tion to the cities and villages could be made; that he had given Assemblyman Lansing assurances. Upon these as- surances Senator Grattan and Assemblyman Lansing with hearty good will supported the measure. Furthermore, it was the intention, as expressed by the appointment of the various Mayors and Presidents, that their municipalities should be included. The Chairman inquired of ]\Ir. Collier as to whether it was the intention of his committee that the amount appro- priated to the cities mentioned in the report should be sub- divided. Mr. Collier replied that it did not seem to him that he was in a position to answer the question, except to say that the committee on apportionment was unanimous in its decision to apportion the money as stated in the report, and as to what disposition the various cities may make of the funds his committee has nothins: whatever to do. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) said there were only six places where the official celebration could be held, and he did not see how the money could be diverted from the purpose for which it was appropriated. It is not the intent or desire of the Commission to have two celebrations taking place on the same day, but it is desired to have the celebration in the cities which have been named, and he did not believe that the money could be diverted or expended in any other place than wdiere an official celebration is being held. Mr. Zee (Rensselaer) said it seemed to him that there was a sort of moral obligation involved in the matter, which should be discharged. I2i8 Minutes of Upper Hudson Committee After further discussion by Mr. Sague, Mr. Collier, Mr. Stryker, and Mr. Burns, Mr. Kinnear (Albany) moved as an amendment to the motion of Mr. Collier, that the report of the committee be adopted and recommended to the Board of Trustees of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Com- mission for approval. The amendment was accepted by Mr. Collier, after being seconded. Mr. Hudson (Hudson) moved as an amendment that the report of the committee be adopted, but that it be the sense of this committee that each municipality to which an ap- propriation is made recognize its neighboring cities and villages within its county, and that such cities and villages be given a hearing. The amendment was seconded. Mr. Elliott (Catskill) thought Mr. Hudson's amend- ment should be made as a separate motion. Mr. Sague (Poughkeepsie) said Mr. Hudson's motion was out of order. Mr. Hudson then stated that he would withdraw his previous amendment and move, in its stead, that the matter be referred back to the committee with instructions to report, which motion was seconded. Mr. Collier (Hudson) raised the point of order that the motion before the house is as to whether the report of the committee be accepted or rejected and a vote first made must be taken on that question. The Chairman ruled that Mr. Hudson's motion stands. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) appealed from the decision of the Chairman and asked that the roll be called. Upon the call of the roll, the ruling of the Chairman was not sustained, the following being the vote : Ayes — Hudson, Justus, Phipps — 3. Nays — Adams, Bain, Burns, Collier, Elliott, Hamilton, Hanson, Harding, Hauratto, Hutchins, McClung, McKay, Rosenkranz, Sague, Scanlon, Snyder, Spratt, Troy, Wiley, Wilson — 20. The report of the committee, with the amendment as made by Mr. Kinnear and accepted by Mr. Collier, was then adopted by the following vote : Ayes — Adams, Bain, Burns, Collier, Elliott, Hamilton, Hanson, Harding, J June 12, 1909 1219 Haiiratto, Hutchins, Kinnear, McClung, McKay, Sague, Scanlon, Snyder, Spratt, Troy, Wiley, Wilson — 20. Nays — Hudson, Justus, Phipps, Rosenkranz — 4. Air. Hudson (Hudson) moved that the report of the committee be made unanimous, which motion was adopted. Routine of Payment. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) read the following communi- cation : New York, June 5, 1909. William T. McKay, Esq., Secretary, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Committee of Newburgh, Newburgh, N. Y. Dear Mr. McKay : Replying to your inquiry of June 4, I would say that our understanding as to what the Upper Hudson Com- mittee is to do in order to be in a position to spend the $100,000 set apart for its use, is as follows: The Upper Hudson Committee is first to meet and reach an agreement as to just what amount each city and town is to receive. It is then to prepare a budget and submit it to the Executive Committee or the Board of Trustees of this Commission, and if it is approved by the latter, the Upper Hudson Committee can then at once begin to spend the money for the purposes for which it was appropriated. The foregoing agrees with your understanding, as ex- pressed in your letter. As to the advancement of moneys, we can arrange to pay your bills upon presentation and approval by the Trustees, in advance of the receipt of the money from the Comp- troller, but it is not our understanding that we are to advance money in bulk to the Upper Hudson Committee before the presentation of proper vouchers. If the local committees in the different towns and villages need work- ing capital, it will be necessary for them to make arrange- ments with their local bankers. After an agreement is reached by the Upper Hudson Committee as to the allocation of the $100,000, and its approval by the Trustees or Executive Committee of the Commission, the routine of payment will be as follows: The Upper Hudson Committee should adopt a resolution certifying to the President of the Commission that any bill bearing the approval of such person or persons as the 1220 Minutes of Upper Hudson Committee Upper Hudson Committee may designate, is to be paid out of the fund appropriated for the Upper Hudson Commit- tee. Every bill thus contracted by the Upper Hudson Com- mittee, or its local sub-committees, should then be copied upon duplicate blank forms, similar to those enclosed here- with, and signed under the words "Approved by the Upper Hudson Committee for payment," by the person or persons named in your certificate. The original bill in each case should be attached to the original white voucher. The duplicate vouchers with the original sub-voucher attached should be forwarded to this office, and they will be pre- sented for approval by the Trustees or the Executive Com- mittee at the next meeting following their receipt by us. Upon examination and approval by the Auditing Commit- tee, the vouchers will then be sent to the payees to be re- ceipted and upon the return of the receipted vouchers to us, we will immediately send checks to the payees. It will expedite matters if in sending the vouchers to us originally you have them already receipted by the payees. If you will let us know at once how many persons you designate to approve of your accounts before sending them to us, we will order the blank vouchers printed immediately and sent to such person as you may designate. Trusting that this gives you the information you desire, I remain, Yours very truly, Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Committee on Audit. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) moved that the following committee be appointed as a committee on finance and audit, and that such committee act in accordance with and take up at once the matters suggested in the foregoing communication: Henry Hudson (Hudson), Chairman, Hon. Arthur MacArthur (Troy), ex officio, Hon. Ben- jamin McClung (Newburg), Hon. Aruthur L. Andrews (Albany), Hon. Walter P. Crane (Kingston), Hon. John K. Sague (Poughkeepsie), Mr. Cornelius F. Burns (Troy), "Gen. W. S. C. Wiley (Catskill), and Hon. M. D. Han- son (Cohoes). The Assistant Secretary was requested to have printed and sent to each member of the Upper Hudson Committee i June 12, 1909 1221 a copy of the foregoing- communication read by Mr. McKay, also a copy of the form of voucher therein men- tioned. Floats from Nezv York. Mr. A. H. Stoddard, Captain of Pageantry, addressed the Committee with reference to bringing floats from New York City to the various municipaHties along the upper Hudson, and said he would later visit each of such municipalities, and that the only expense to the upper Hudson towns would be that of providing labor. Mr. Snyder (Albany) moved that the thanks of the Upper Hudson Committee be extended to the members of the committee at Troy for their hospitality. Carried. On motion, the meeting adjourned. Benjamin F. Hamilton, Secretary of Committee. William Wortman, Assistant Secretarv of Committee. 1222 COMMITTEES OF THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION Revised to July 14, 1909.

Recommendations Concerning Badges, Medals and Banquet Adopted. The Secretary reported that at the request of the Presi- dent, a conference on matters relating to the Ofificial Med- als, the Official Badges and the Official Banquet was held at the headquarters of the Commission on Wednesday, July 14, at which Messrs. Adams, Berri, Cannon, Fairchild, Hall, Jaccaci, Muschenheim, Samuel Parsons, Ridder, July 2 1, 1909 ^ 1259 Sackett and Stetson were present, Mr. Ridder being in the chair. The action of the conference was submitted to the Executive Committee for its approval, and it was ratified as follows : Mr. Adams was appointed a member of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster and the Committee on Chil- dren's Festivals ; Mr. Jaccaci a member of the Children's Festivals Committee, and Mr. Samuel Parsons a member of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster and the Committee on Medals. It was voted that the Medal Committee be authorized to furnish to the Committee on Children's Festivals and Com- mittee on General Commemorative Exercises as many medals as might be required for the public schools and such additional medals as might be needed for prizes. It was voted that no replicas of the Ofificial Badge in any size or metal be sold to the public. It was voted that the question of medals be referred back to the Medal Committee, with power. It was voted that the matter of issuing badges to the members of the Commission, Citizens' Committees, aides and guests be referred back to the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster, with power. It was voted that the arrangement of the menu for the banquet be referred to the Chairman of the Banquet Com- mittee, with power. It was voted that the invitation to the banquet follow the form of the ofificial invitation to distinguished guests and be issued in the name of " The Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Commission of the State of New York," the name of each person invited to be written by hand. Founders and Patriots Tablet Approved. Mr. Fitch presented the final design of the tablet pro- posed to be erected in the vestibule of the United States Custom House in New York by the New York Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, the dedication of which on Wednesday, September 29, has already been included in the official program. (See page 1 162.) The tablet is to be 21/2 feet by 4^-2 feet in size and will be made by J. & R. Lamb. In the upper part it will i26o Minutes of Executive Committee represent the plan of Fort George enclosing the following inscription in small letters : This outline of the Fort is made on a scale of 12.5 feet to the inch from "A Plan of Fort George in the City of New York made at the request of the Honourable John Cruger, Esquire, and the rest of the committee appointed to fix on a suitable place for building a Government House. Made this I2th April, 1774, by Gerard Bancker." In the southwest bastion will be the seal of the Society and in the southeast bastion a magnetic compass. Below will be the following inscription: ON THIS SITE FORT AMSTERDAM WAS ERECTED 1626 AND ITS SUCCESSOR FORT GEORGE WAS DEMOLISHED 1790. TO COMMEMORATE THE EXPLORATION OF THE HUDSON RIVER BY HENRY HUDSON IN SEPTEMBER, 1609, THE FOUNDING OF NEW AMSTERDAM MAY 4, 1626, AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE 1775-1783- THIS TABLET IS PLACED BY THE NEW YORK SOCIETY OF THE ORDER OF THE FOUNDERS AND PATRIOTS OF AMERICA, SEPTEMBER, 1909. The design was approved. Line of March Discussed. General Roe reported that he had received a letter sug- gesting that the line of march (see page 1003) for the Historical and Carnival Parades be changed, so that when the parades reached 23d street, they would turn eastward and then up Madison avenue. The suggestion was based on the idea that the floats, on account of their size, could not safely turn into Fourth street at the foot of Washing- ton Square, and that Madison avenue would afford a more DESIGN OF TABLET TO BE PLACED ON THE UNITED STATES CUSTOM HOUSE, NEW YORK CITY (see page 126o) July 21, 1909 1261 convenient place of dispersion. General Roe said he thought that it was inadvisable to change the route unless absolutely necessary ; that his experience was that more people witnessed parades on Fifth avenue south of 23d street than north of it ; and that the parades could pass through Fourth street, Lafayette street. Fourth avenue and Madison avenue with ease and disperse without the confu- sion which would be apt to occur if they turned through 23d street to Madison avenue and made virtually two pro- cessions moving in opposite directions only a block apart between 23d and 40th streets. It was voted that the question of the line of march be referred to General Roe with power. $1,000 Appropriated for Governor's Island Reception. General Roe reported that he had conferred with Major General Leonard Wood, U. S. A., commanding the De- partment of the Flast, in regard to a reception at Gov- ernor's Island on Alonday, September 27th. General Wood expressed his cordial desire to extend the hospitality of the Headquarters by invitation to the officials and distinguished guests of the Commission, but did not deem it practicable to admit the general public or to have any military exercises as at the fetes champetres which have been held on the island. General Roe moved that $1,000 be appropriated for the purposes of the Governor's Island Reception. Carried. The Chairman appointed General Roe a member of the Reception Committee, and the matter of the Governor's Island reception was referred to that Committee. $1,000 Appropriated for JVcst Point Reception. General Roe also reported that he had conferred with Col. Hugh L. Scott, U. S. A., Superintendent of West Point Military Academy, in regard to a reception there on Wednesday, September 29th. Colonel Scott said he wanted West Point to do all in its power to entertain the guests of the Commission and could entertain at luncheon not to 1262 Minutes of Executive Committee exceed 300 persons at a cost of $1,000. The plan was to have the guests go to West Point by the West Shore Rail- road in the morning and have luncheon in the Memorial Hall upon arrival. After luncheon there could be visits to the buildings, a drill and a review of the Cadet Corps. These ceremonies would end not later than 4 o'clock and the party could be back in New York by 5 :30. Mr. Stetson said he was solicitous that the visit to West Point should not interfere with the Official Banquet in New York the same evening. It would be necessary to sit down to the banquet at 8 p. m. If the guests could not return in time for that, he would suggest transposing the dates of the Governor's Island and West Point receptions; but if the guests would return from West Point not later than 5:30, he would interpose no objection to the plan as outlined. General Roe moved that $1,000 be appropriated for the West Point reception. Carried. This function was likewise referred to the Reception Committee. Stony Point Counniitcc Appointed. The Chairman appointed the following Committee to take charge of the ceremonies at Stony Point Battlefield State Reservation on Saturday, October 2 : Mr. Gordon H. Peck, of West Haverstraw, Chairman ; Mr. Henry K. Bush-Brown of Newburgh, Hon. Thomas H. Kee of Stony Point, and Dr. George F. Kunz of New York. $1,000 Appropriated for Stony Point Celebration. It was voted that $1,000 be appropriated toward the expenses of the ceremonies at Stony Point Battlefield State Reservation on Saturday, October 2. Aeronautic Arrangements. In the absence of Mr. Beck abroad. Air. Berri reported that the Aeronautics Committee was making active efforts to secure one of the Wrights, Curtis and other aeronauts July 21, 1909 1263 for the Celebration, with good prospects of success. It was the poHcy of the Committee, he said, to concentrate on a few fine features rather than to scatter over a larger number of small features. Genealogical Society's Request for Money Denied. The Secretary presented a letter dated July 16, 1909, from Mr. H. P. Gibson to General James Grant Wilson, asking for an appropriation of $200 toward the preparation of 150 exhibits by the New York Genealogical and Bio- graphical Society ; and a motion to make the appropriation was lost. Zoological Society A ppropviation Transferred. Dr. Kunz moved to rescind the resolution of February 24. 1909 (page 912). appropriating $1,000 to the New York Zoological Society toward the expense of preparing a Hud- son-Fulton exhibit and catalogue ; and that in lieu thereof, $1,000 be appropriated to Dr. \V. T. Hornaday for the same purpose, to be paid out of the Subscription Fund. In making this motion. Dr. Kunz explained that the end attained would be the same, but that it would simplify the payment for the work wdiich Dr. Hornaday had had performed. The motion was carried. Auditing Committee Report. Mr. Phillips presented the report by the Audit Company of New York on the accounts of the Commission, dated July 3. 1909. The report was received and ordered on file. $1,200 Appropriated for Badges. Mr. Jaccaci Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster, presented a report in regard to the Official Badges and moved that $1,200 be appropriated for the Badges for the official guests and expenses of his com- mittee. Carried. 1264 Minutes of Executive Committee $7,000 Appropriated for Posters. Mr. Jaccaci also presented various estimates for the printing of Posters for distribution to the railroads and moved that an appropriation of $7,000 be made for this purpose, and that the matter of the distribution of the posters be referred to iMr. Ridder and Mr. Jaccaci with power. Carried. $1,200 Appropriated for Richmond Committee. Mr. Richards presented a report asking for $8,000 toward the expenses of the celebration in Riclimond Borough. The plan included the construction of a replica of the Vanderbilt Ferry Sloop at a cost of $500. After a brief discussion, the subject of the construction of the ferry sloop was referred to the Naval Parade Com- mittee for report. An appropriation of $1,200 was made for the Stony Brook portion of the celebration in Richmond Borough ; and the other matters in Mr. Richards' report were deferred for later consideration. Banquet Tickets Limited to One Each. Mr. Stetson reported that up to July 19, 1,229 applica- tions for seats at the Official Banquet had been received. Many of the applicants asked for more than one ticket. These applications, together with the other necessary de- mands for guests and for others who must be given an opportunity to subscribe, would make the number greatly beyond the capacity of the banquet hall. He stated that it would therefore be necessary to tell those who have made applications that only one ticket can be allotted to each ap- plicant, and that in future invitations sent out a notice would be given stating that acceptances would be limited to one each. Air. Stetson said that there would be no dis- tribution of the boxes or pledges made concerning them before September i. The Committee had arranged for the printing of the menu by Tiffany and Company, in connec- tion with which Mr. Stetson expressed his great obligation to Mr. Fairchild for the latter's assistance. The menu July 21, 1909 1265 would state that the President of the Commission would present Grovernor Hughes as the presiding officer of the evening. The speakers, he said, would be, beside the Gov- ernor, the Mayor of the City of New York, the United States Senators from New York, the living ex-Governors of the State, and the President and Vice-President of the United States. $6,000 Appropriated for Banquet Souvenirs. Mr. Stetson continued, saying that the favor for the din- ner would be the Official Medal struck in bronze and enclosed in a leather case. These would cost about $3 apiece. He therefore moved that the Medal Committee be authorized to order 2,000 medals at a cost not exceeding $6,000, with the understanding that this amount is to be paid back into the Treasury except the proportion of the cost of the medals for the official guests. The motion was carried. Mr. Stetson said that this Banquet presented a great opportunity for a distinctive and beautiful decoration. The material part of one banquet was very much like that of another and the distinction of one banquet from another depended largely upon the environment in which it was set. At the recent Yale dinner to President Taft. the banquet hall was virtually turned into Yale College by its decorative effects. Mr. Stetson thought that the Commit- tee would be justified to going to a considerable expense for a characteristic decoration at the Hudson-Fulton Ban- quet. This feature might cost as much as $5,000 and possi- bly entail a deficit, but it was his impression that the Banquet would pay for itself within a few thousand dollars. Clermont Launched. Mr. Olcott reported that the Clermont was successfully launched at Port Richmond, Staten Island, on Saturday, July 10. The officers of the Commission and guests were taken aboard boats kindly loaned for the ceremonies, em- barking at Pier A, North River. The vessels were the 1266 Minutes of Executive Committee U. S. S. S. "Aileen," Lieutenant Charles O. Brinkerhoff of the Second Naval Battalion, Naval Militia of New York, commander ; the U. S. S. S. " Wasp," Lieutenant Starr Taintor of the First Naval Battalion, Naval Militia of New York, commanding ; the U. S. tug " Powhatan," by Capt. J. B. Murdock, U. S. N., Commandant of the New York Navy Yard ; the U. S. tug " Cerberus " by Captain Aaron Ward, U. S. N., Supervisor of the Port of New York ; the U. S. S. " Guide," by the Honorable William Loeb, Jr., Collector of the Port of New York; and the Dock 'Department tug " Manhattan," by the Honorable Denis A. Judge, Deputy Commissioner. As the President of the Commission, General Woodford, went on board the Aileen, he was saluted with thirteen guns from that vessel. At the launching Captain Jacob W. Miller was Master of Ceremonies. Brief speeches were delivered by General Woodford and Mr. Olcott. Mr. Robert Under- wood Johnson of the " Century " read a poem, Mrs. R. B. Bowler rang the original Clermont bell which was affixed to the launching stand. Mrs. Arthur Taylor Sutcliffe, a great granddaughter of Robert Fulton, named the vessel as it began to move on the ways, breaking on the stem a vase of water brought from the old Livingston well at Clermont. As the Clermont slid into the water, the Wasp fired a salute of sixteen guns. Mr. Olcott said that the bell rung at the launching of the replica of the Clermont is the only part of the original Clermont in existence. It is now owned by the Hudson River Day Line. This company is willing to loan the bell to be placed upon the Clermont during the ceremonies next fall, but to do so would contravene a promise which had been given to place the bell on exhibition in the New York Historical Society. Mr. Olcott felt, however, that the most appropriate place would be on the Clermont. Mr. Hoffman, who is President of the New York His- torical Society, thought that the Historical Society was the most appropriate place, as it was to have a very interesting collection of relics of Fulton. July 21, 1909 1267 It was voted that the matter of the Clermont's bell be referred to Mr. Olcott and Mr. Hoffman. 1 * Aldermanic Resolution Concerning Reviewing Stands. Mr. Lamb reported progress in regard to Decorations and Reviewing Stands. The Secretary read a letter from the Secretary of the President of the Board of Aldermen, transmitting a copy of a resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen on June 29, as follows : "Resolved, That the Presidents of the Boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Richmond be, and they are hereby authorized to issue permits to the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission for the erection of reviewing stands in the streets of the various boroughs on the occasion of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration." Committee on Dedications. Judge Higley reported that since the arrangements for the dedication at Stony Point, the Committee on Dedica- tions had had no meeting, but it stood ready to co-operate at any time with those desiring to dedicate tablets or monuments. Half-Moon en route to Nezv York. The Secretary reported that he had received a cable- gram from Mr. Heldring, the Assistant Secretary of the Netherlands Hudson-Fulton Commission, stating that the Half Moon had left Rotterdam for New York on board the Holland-America Line freig'ht steamship Soestdijk on Saturday, July 10 — the same day on which the Clermont was launched ; and he was advised by the Holland-America Line that the Soestdijk was expected to arrive on Thurs- day, July 22.* * The Soestdijk arrived at Quarantine Thursday night, July 22, and proceeded to the Navy Yard Friday morning the 23d; at 11 a. m., on the latter date, the Half Moon was lowered into the water. 1268 Minutes of Executive Committee The Secretary also reported that on July 13 he had been honored by a call from His Excellency Jonklieer R. de Marees van Swinderen, formerly the Netherlands Minister to the United States, but now the Netherlands Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is making a brief visit to this country. Mr. van Swinderen stated that the Dutch people were taking the greatest interest possible in the approaching cele- bration, and he expressed great pleasure that he had been instrumental in having the Half Moon built. He left with the Secretary an illustrated magazine, entitled " Buiten," published at Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Saturday, June 26, 1909, containing pictures and an account of the Half Moon. From an article describing the writer's visit to the Half Moon as she lay at the Navy Yard of The Nether- lands at Amsterdam, where she was built, the following extracts have been translated : VISIT TO THE HALF MOON. It was a stormy Monday noon when I went to visit the Half Moon. I was anxious to see the little ship, both inside and out- side, and it was by the courtesy of the Assistant Engineer of the Navy, E. J. Benthem, who was kind enough to show me around personally, that I was in a position to do so. The said engineer, who built the ship ^ according to the plans of the late Mr. C. L. Loder (when living. Director of Shipbuilding of the Navy De- partment), can look upon his work with much satisfaction. As an example of his accuracy, I can tell you that the oak required for the building of the vessel is of the very best quality; and where some boards were not as good as the others, they were not used and the work was postponed until the best material in the market had arrived. Also, as regards the decorative part, the old ideas were strictly followed, as for instance, can be seen in the lantern in the stern of the ship, in the so-called " big man-servant," (the nicely painted sculptured head of a man to which are fastened the pulleys through which roll the ropes which move the great yard) ; finally, in the guns, anchors, the large sea-chart, the water cask, muskets, even the forged nails, and the horn (instead of glass) of the ship lanterns. A small piece of canvas from the Rijks Museum — a relic of the voyage to Nova Zembla — has been ■' Under the supervision of Vice-Admiral J. A. Roell, retired, of the Royal Netherlands Navy, and Aide-de-Camp to Her Majesty the Queen. — Translator. REPLICA OF THE HALF MOON VIEW OF BOW, WITH CREW IN COSTUMES July 2 1, 1909 1269 used as a sample for the manufacture of the sails. I saw the whole ship in a comparatively short time — the very interesting cabin of the Captain, that of the Mate built higher up, the fore- castle, and lastly the hold. Everywhere there was not room enough to walk upright ; and in the meantime, Mr. Benthem ex- plained to me everything in a very comprehensive way, showing much love for his work. When I reached the bottom of the ship, I could notice how solidly everything had been put together. In that space, where I could smell the tar and the oak, I understood how it was possible that this structure of wood only could brave the icy seas and arrive after many perils at the bank of the Hudson. And when T again stood outside, and, looking out across the navy wharves, where a great red steel cruiser lay, while the thunder rolled ceaselessly and the first large raindrops fell from the threatening sky, I took leave of the Half Moon whereon the colored flags of the V. O. C.,- and the state-flag,^ gold with red, fluttered wildly in a gust of wind, I thought once again of the daring of our ancestors who knew how to brave the wilderness. (Then follows a long account of Hudson's voyage and the program for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration in New York State, the latter compiled from the publications of the Commission. The article then continues as follows.- — Translator.) WHAT DOES THE HALF MOON LOOK LIKE? A true copy of the original vessel, built at the Royal wharf at Amsterdam, according to the plans of Mr. C. L. Loder (during his life Director of Shipbuilding of the Navy Department), under the supervision of the Assistant Engineer of the Navy, will be pre- sented as a gift of the Netherlands nation on the occasion of the festivities in September. In the beginning of next month,"* a tug-boat will bring the Half Moon via Gouda to Rotterdam ; and there, unrigged, she will be taken to America the loth of July as deckload on the Holland- America freight steamer Soestdijk — a voyage much more quiet and especially a great deal quicker than that of the original vessel. The Half Moon will sail into the harbor of New York with a crew of eighteen men of the Dutch man-of-war Utrecht, under command of First Lieutenant Lam as Master,^ and Midshipman de Meester as Mate. It is necessary to transport the ship in this safe way, as she has to be in New York at a certain time in good condition. It cannot 2 Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnieen — the United East India Companies. 3 Xhe flag of the Province of Holland. '^July. 5 Impersonating Henry Hudson. — Translator. 1 270 Minutes of Executive Committee be said that our seamen would not risk sailing with her in the same way as did Hudson and his men ; but of the many seafarers who went forth, how many never returned, and often chance served as pilot? In the illustrated papers, we have seen comparisons between the sea-castles of the present time and well-known monumental build- ings, as the Cathedral at Cologne, St. Paul's Cathedral at London, etc. ;' and we know that when those ships are put on end their stem is much higher in the air than the top of those buildings, which are far from being low. We think it quite natural that ships have a tonnage of some thousands of tons. The Half Moon has a length of 63 feet, is 17 feet 3 inches broad, and the depth of the hold is 6 feet 4 inches in Amsterdam measure, while her tonnage is about 80 tons. These figures, compared for instance with the tonnage of our new man-of-war "The Seven Provinces" (6500), with the "Dreadnought's" (20,000), the '^Rotterdam" of the Holland- America Line (24,000), give us an idea of the brave sea-farers of three centuries ago, especially when we remember that they were not in possession of those good charts and instruments with- out which no seaman nowadays would go to sea. And the peculiar thing about the vessels of those days is that they absolutely fail to give the impression of being as small as they actually are. This is most probably due to the very handsome and ornate, but not " fast " manner in which they are built, with their high stem and stern (relic of the old castle) and the three masts, bowsprit and flag-staff which stretch out like the fingers of a hand. Still, they must have been small when we take the Half Moon as an example: in the ship, it is only possible to sit on one's haunches. The Half Moon has at its rail the East India Company flag (the latter a present of the Society "Our Fleet") the national tri-color with the well-known monogram 6 in the white stripe, above which is the letter "A," an indication that it was the Amsterdam Chamber which commissioned Hudson; on the bowsprit a small jack,^ the flag of Amsterdam on the foremast,8 the State flag,Mgold with the red lion) on the mainmast and a small vane on the mizzenmast. Forward is the forecastle, the sleeping place of the crew, one meter twenty-five high, with five berths, in each of which if neces- sary two men can sleep ; under the bowsprit the gallery, where the sailors, for punishment, were exposed to the sea-water, and where was fastened the " blind sail," so-called because it interrupted the pilot's view. On the deck are two blocks to which the ropes are 6 The monogram V. O. C, before explained. "?

REPLICA OF THE HALF MOON VIEW CF STERN July 21, 1909 1271 fastened. One of them has the ordinary head of a seaman (type "gaper "'''^) ; farther back, the steerman's platform, over which a little roof has been built for the steersman ; the rudder, moved by the whipstaff which is bound to the tiller. The steersman has before him a compass, a sand-glass and a log-glass. The cabin of the Captain under the poop has been built on the upper deck. In the cabin, under the berth, is a chest, beautifully bound, containing the books, in the first place the Bible. On the table lies a sea-chart, just as Hudson had one; this is a repro- duction of the only existing copy which is in the British Museum. Shakespeare mentions this chart. Further on there lies on the table a copy of the contract with Hudson for this voyage, copied from the minute book of the Directors of the East India Company of the Chamber of Amsterdam, dated January 8, 1609. Around this are the dividers and little pieces of wood for measuring. Further, there is in the cabin a Jacob's staff, really a very primitive sextant, by means of which the navigators 300 years ago determined pretty accurately the latitude. Here also hang plates and jugs, candle-sticks and a mortar, besides the four muskets which were kept in the cabin. Every- thing is copied faithfully from prototypes which are found in the Netherlands Musuem ; for example, from objects which have been brought here from Nova Zembla and which were used by Heems- kerck and Barentz when they wintered there. Above the cabin is the one for the mate, still smaller and simpler than that of the Captain. The nicest place in the ship in which to sit is the poop, from which the whole ship can be seen. The armament consists of two small and two large cannon. On the deck, near the railing, stand the small ones, that is, swivel guns, also called " kamerstukjes ;" the measurement is given in pounds (they are pieces of 100 pounds) ; the calibre is only 3.2 mm. In the tweendeck are the two heavy pieces of 800 pounds (calibre, 8cm.) Under the upper deck is the tweendeck or " verdeck." In this are the hawse-holes for the anchor. Further, there is the very primitive kitchen and the berth for the cook, a sail-room, and at the back the gunner's room where the powder is stored, the bread- room and the berth for the steward, wherein now is a stock from Erven Lucas Bols. Underneath is the hold for the provisions, the drinking water, the cables and lastly for the cargo. The ship has three masts ; on the foremast are fixed the fore- topsail and foresail, (the blind sail on the bowsprit) ; on the main- ''O Literally, yawner, with his mouth open. — Translator. 1272 Minutes of Executive Committee mast the maintopsail and mainsail ; while on the mizzen mast a lateen sail is fastened. Part of the equipment is a little ships-boat similar to a cutter, which is fastened to the deck above the mainbatch aft of the fore- mast. Miniature Model of Half Moon Proposed. Mr. Olcott presented the request of Mr. H. E. Boucher, of No. 91 Maiden lane, to make a miniature model of the Half Moon. He spoke of Mr. Boucher as one of the most competent men he knew to do this, and he thought that such a model would be a valuable and interesting exhibit. Mr. Boucher would make this model at his own expense in the hope of finding a purchaser. It was suggested that it would be inappropriate for this Commission to grant permission to make a model of the Half Moon as the ship had not yet been presented to this Commission and was still in the possession of the Dutch people. The matter w^as left in abeyance for future con- sideration. $3,000 Appropriated for Illuminations. Mr. Berri described a project for a beautiful illtiming- tion by means of batteries of search lights on the river front which had been suggested by Mr. C. F. Lacombe, Chief Engineer of Light and Power of the City of New York. He stated that this brilliant display, which would virtually be New York City's signal fire, but would burn throughout the whole Celebration, would cost $8,000. He thought that if the Commission would appropriate $3,000 for this object, the remaining $5,000 could be raised from other sources. He therefore moved that the ofifer be ac- cepted and that an appropriation of $3,000 for this purpose be made. Carried. Foreign Invitations Accepted. The Acting President reported that since the last meet- ing of the Trustees, official advices had been received to the effect that Great Britain would send to the Celebration REPLICA OF THE HALF MOON VIEW OF FOREDECK July 2 1, 1909 1273 a cruiser squadron composed of His Majesty's steamships Drake, Argyll, Duke of Edinburgh, and Black Prince, under the command of Rear Admiral Frederick T. Ham- ilton, C. V. O., who would be the official representative of the British Government ; that Italy would send the man-of- war Etruria and schoolship Etna, the latter having on board the cadets of the Royal Naval Academy ; that Mexico would send the gunboat Bravo, under the command of Cap- tain Manuel E. Izaguirre who would attend the Celebration as subdelegate of Mexico ; that the Netherlands would send the warship Utrecht, whose crew would man the Half Moon ; that Guatemala expected to have a new coast patrol boat finished in time to send ; that Turkey, Salvador, Ecuador, Honduras and Costa Rica w^ould send delegates ; and that Spain and Persia regret their inability to accept. $1^,000 Appropriated for Medals. In the absence of Mr. Cannon, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Medals, Mr. Adams, the Vice-Chairman, re- ported as follows : The Medal Committee recommend the following pro- gram for the publication of the Official Medal of the Hud- son-Fulton Celebration Commission and propose that the contracts for the preparation of all the dies, already au- thorized in part, and of all the medals required, except those to be struck in gold, be given to the Whitehead & Hoag Company of Newark, N. J., with authority to pub- licly state that they are the only parties authorized to publish and sell the Official Medal of the Commission. 1. For Subscription by (a) the Trustees and Members of the Couimission, 4 inch diameter in solid sterling sil- ver, at $10 each, including leather case and inscription of name; (b) the members of the Citizens' Committees and all Official Aides, 2)^2 inch diameter in solid sterling silver, at $4 each, in cardboard cases; (c) the Banquet Commit- tee, 2.y2 inch diameter in bronze, at $3 each, including leather case. 2. For use of various committees for Presentation pur- poses, as may be directed by the Executive Committee, for (a) Heads of Nations represented by naval vessels, 3 inch diameter in Alaskan gold; (b) Official Guests, 4 inch diam- 12 74 Minutes of Executive Committee eter in solid sterling silver; (c) Other Guests, 2 inch diameter in silver (hard metal base) ; (d) School, Sport and other Awards of Merit, i^^ inch diameter in silver (hard metal base). 3. For Sale to the Public, subject to a royalty, upon gross receipts, to the Commission: (a) 4 inch diameter in bronze; (b) 2 inch diameter in aluminum; (c) i^ inch diameter in silver (hard metal base). For the purpose of providing the cost of the dies and of the medals to be used for presentation purposes, the Medal Committee recommends that a further appropria- tion be made of $13,000, making, with the two previous appropriations of $1,000 each, a total sum of $15,000, to be at the disposal of the Medal Committee, acting by its Chairman or Vice-Chairman, to the extent necessary to provide the medals for which official requisition shall be made. The recommendations of the Committee were approved, and the Committee was authorized to carry them out. It was voted that $13,000 (in addition to the $1,000 ap- propriated December 23, 1908, and the $1,000 appropriated April 28, 1909, making a total of $15,000) be appropri- ated for the cost of the dies and medals to be used for presentation purposes. Mr. Adams submitted the following draft of a letter of authority to the Whitehead & Hoag Co., and it was ap- proved : July 21, 1909. The Whitehead & Hoag Co., No. 161 Washington Avenue, Newark, N. J. Gentlemen : You are hereby authorized to produce the official medal that has been adopted by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission and to sell the same on account of this Com- mission. Patent for the design of this medal has been applied for and is in progress of issue. You are the only parties authorized to publish and sell this official medal. By authority of the Executive Committee. REPLICA OF THE HALF MOON VIEW OF AFTERDECK July 21, 1909 1275 Spelling of the Name of the Half Moon in Dutch. Mr. Adams said that he would Hke the instructions of the Executive Committee concerning the spelHng of the name of the Half Moon on the iVIedal. In the Uitloop Bookje, or Sailing Book of the Dutch East India Com- pany, in 1608 the name was spelled Halve Maen. In an- other manuscrijjt book of the East India Company, called tl e Memoriael or Memorandum Book, it was spelled Halve Mane. When the design of the medal was being prepared, a letter was written to Vice Admiral J. A. Roell of the Royal Netherlands Navy, Aide-de-Camp to Her Majesty the Queen, and a member of the Netherlands Hudson- Fulton Commission, under whose auspices the Half Moon was then being built, asking how the name was spelled. Admiral Roell replied as follows : The Hague, 26/12/0S. Dear Sir :• In new Dutch the word is written " Halve Maan," but it will appear on the poop of the vessel in the old spelling, as " de Halve Alaene." Yours, J. A. Roell. In the illustrated weekly magazine, entitled " Buiten," printed at Amsterdam, June 26, 1909, and containing eight pictures of and many allusions to the new vessel, the name is invariably spelled " de Halve Maen," without the final " e " on the last name ; and the bill of lading of the Holland- America Line steamship Soestdijk which brings the Half j\Ioon spells it '* de Halve Maen." The determination of the spelling was referred back to Mr. Adams, with power. (On the following day, July 22d, Mr. Adams learned by cable from Mr. E. J. Benthem, the Assistant Engineer of the Netherlands Navy at Amster- dam, under whose direction the Half Moon was built, that there is no name on the ship — only a representation of a half moon ; and this information was confirmed on July 23 by an examination of the Half Moon herself, which 1276 Minutes of Executive Committee arrived at the New York Navy Yard that morning as deck charge of the Holland- America Line steamship Soestdijk. Mr. Adams therefore decided to follow the spelling given by Admiral Roell as the highest authority, and to inscribe the words "Halve Maene " on the medal.) Ground for Hudson Monument Broken. The Assistant Secretary reported that on Monday after- noon, July 5, 1909, ground was formally broken on Spuyten Duyvil Hill for the Henry Hudson Monument, which is to be erected by private subscription under the auspices of the Commission. Mr. John Jay McKelvey presented the Honorable Leonard A. Giegerich, Justice of the Supreme Court, as president of the day. After an invocation by the Reverend Dr. David Bain Griffith, addresses were de- livered by Justice Giegerich, Congressman Joseph A. Goulden and Dr. Edward Hagaman Hall. The latter con- ducted the ceremony of breaking the ground,' which was performed by four little girls, Hope Johnson, Dorothy Rad- ley, Helena Cox and Jane McKelvey, who used silver spades. The Reverend Father Murray pronounced the benediction. After the exercises, Mr. William C. Muschen- heim invited the company to his spacious lawn where re- freshments were served. Hudson Monument Committee Appointed. The Chairman announced that in view of the importance of the project for the erection of the Hudson Monument and the large amount of detail involved, it was desirable to appoint a special Committee to take charge of it. He therefore appointed the following committee: Dr. James Douglas, Chairman ; Mr. Cleveland H, Dodge, the Hon. George W. Perkins, Mr. John Jay McKelvey, and Mr. William C. Muschenheim. Official Boats in Naval Parade. Captain Miller reported that he had secured four boats for the use of the Commission and its guests on Friday, July 21, 1909 1277 October i, namely, the Robert Fulton, the Providence, the Plymouth and the Chapin. He desired to have the Robert Fulton lead, and this was agreed to by common consent. Nominated for /Appointment by the Mayor. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, pre- sented a report recommending for appointment by the Mayor as members of the Commission the following named gentlemen : Mr. M. C. D. Borden, No. 25 West 56th street; Mr. George Sullivan Bowdoin, banker. No. 39 Park avenue; Mr. Lewis L. Delafield, lawyer, No. i Nassau street ; Mr. L. F. Dommerich, president of L. F. Dommerich & Co., drygoods merchants, No. 57 Greene street ; Mr. Benedict Joseph Greenhut, of the Siegel-Cooper Co., department store. Sixth avenue and i8th street ; Mr. Norman Bruce Ream, capitalist, No. 24 Broad street; Mr. John D. Rocke- feller, capitalist and philanthropist, No. 26 Broadway ; Mr. Archelaus Smith, No. 1 16 Broad street ; and Mr. Charles R. Starbuck, Commodore of the Columbia Yacht Club, No. 165 Broadway. The report was adopted and the names recommended to the Mayor. Mentioned in Official Program. The Secretary presented a letter from Mr. Samuel W. Fairchild, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Union League Club, stating that the Union League pro- posed to tender a reception to the visiting and American naval officers on Monday evening, September 27, and ask- ing that it be made a part of the official program. Upon motion of Captain Miller, it was voted to include the reception in the official program. It was also voted that the following events be mentioned in the official program : Sunday, September 26, special services in the Collegiate Reformed Church, representing the first church erected on ]\Ianhattan Island ; 1278 Minutes of Executive Committee Thursday evening, September 30. a dinner at the Hotel Astor by the Explorers' Club, to which representative ex- plorers of America and foreign nations will be invited ; Saturday, September 25, to Saturday, October 9, exhibi- tion of colonial relics in Washington's Headquarters, in 1 60th street. New York, under the auspices of the Wash- ington Headquarters Association. Public Safety Arrangements. Commissioner McCarroll, Chairman of the Committee on Public Safety, reported that his committee had had a meeting the previous day and adopted a resolution request- ing an appropriation of Sio,ooo. The Committee, he said, recognized that a large measure of responsibility rested upon the Commission to see that all possible safeguards were provided for the multitudes who would visit the city during the celebration, and it deemed it to be among its particular duties to make sure of the structural safety ct the stands erected by others than the Commission, and to have an oversight of docks, landings and places of con- course at the several events. The largest part of the Com- mittee's expense would be for inspectors, transportation and incidental expenses. Mr. McCarroll said that Deputy Police Commissioner Bugher had been placed in charge of the police arrangements for the celebration and he (Mr. McCarroll) had conferred with the Police Commissioner and with him had gone over the plan in detail. Th^ Police Commissioner expected to have about 3,500 men available for duty, and had assured Mr. McCarroll that every detail would be looked after carefully. Commis- sioner Bugher desired as full co-operation as possible, and some oversight of the police by the inspectors who will be employed by the Committee on Public Safety and who will also be authorized as special officers. The Committee, said Mr. McCarroll, had been divided into three subcommit- tees, each to care for a special feature of the celebration, and arrangements were well advanced. After a brief discussion it was decided to postpone the matter of an appropriation to a subsequent meeting. July 21, 1909 ^279 ' •'■•■• ■: ; ! Upper Hudson Arraiu/cnicnfs. Colonel MacArthur. Chairman of the Upper Hudson Committee, mad-; certain inquiries about the signal fires and illuminations along" the river, and Mr. Berri explained the plans of the Commission. Mr. IFilliain IVortman Appointed an Assistant to the Secretary. The Secretary reported that the local committee of the city of Hudson had by resolution adopted July 7th, recom- mended that Mr. William Wortman be appointed an assist- ant to the Secretary of the Commission for the purpose of the celebration in Hudson, to be paid out of the apportion- ment for Hudson at the rate of $125 a month, commencing; July I St. It was voted that ^Ir. Wortman be appointed as re- quested, subject to the action of the State Civil Service Commission under the rules. The Celebration in Cohocs. The Assistant Secretary laid before the meeting a letter from Mr. William P. Adams of Cohoes transmitting copy of a resolution adopted by the commissioners residing in Albany county, July 13th, apportioning to the city of Co- hoes $3,000 of the $18,000 apportioned by the Upper Hud- son Committee to Albany, and appointing the Hon. Arthur L. Andrews and the Hon. ]Merritt D. Hanson to aucht the Cohoes accounts. The letter was ordered on file. The Assistant Secretary also laid before the Committee another letter from Mr. Adams of the same date, stating that as Albany and Troy have their celebrations on Friday, Oc- tober 8th, and Saturday, October gth, respectively, it was proposed to hold religious services in Cohoes on Sunday, the loth, and have parades, etc., on Monday, the nth. The letter was ordered on file. (In response to an inquiry by Mr. Adams as to whether this arrangement would be sat- isfactory, the Secretary was instructed by the President to- report that the Cohoes Committee was at liberty to arrange i28o Minutes of Executive Committee its own dates, provided they did not interfere with the Com- mission's program elsewhere.) $2,^00 Appropriated to Cornzvall. The courtesy of the floor was accorded to Mr. Creswell MacLaughUn of Cornwall (a member of the Commission and Secretary of the Citizens' Committee of Cornwall-on- Hudson), who requested an appropriation of $2,500 toward the expenses of the celebration in that village. The Chairman recalled the peculiar situation of Cornwall, which was first included in the jurisdiction of the Upper Hudson Committee, but which was excluded from partici- pation in the appropriation of $100,000 made for the upper Hudson by the terms of the bill which made it applicable " at and northerly of the city of Newburgh." Although the Cornwall Comimissioners had subsequently been added to the Lower Hudson Committee (page 1206) the latter was not prepared for this unexpected demand, so that Cornwall was left unprovided for. It was voted that $2,500 be appropriated for the celebra- tion in Cornwall. CornzcaU Coiinuittcc Appointed. The Chairman appointed the Hon. J. H. Clarkson, Presi- dent of the village of Cornwall, and Mr. Creswell Mac- Laughlin, a special committee to have charge of the Corn- wall celebration. t Resignation of Mr. Parry Accepted. The Assistant Secretary stated that when Mr. Parry was engaged as General Executive Assistant in November, 1908, it was thought probable that the Commission would need his services in the capacity in which he had so ably assisted Mr. Lascelles in the Quebec pageant last year. As the plans of this Commission had developed, however, it had be- come apparent, both to the Commission and to Mr. Parry, that the Commission did not need to avail itself of his acknowledged capabilities in his particular field, in connec- July 21, 1909 1281 tion with the street pageants, Mr. Parry, therefore, felt constrained to tender his resignation. The Assistant Sec- retary moved that the resignation be accepted, to take effect at the end of the month ; that the thanks of the Commis- sion be extended to Mr. Parry for his uniform courtesy; and that the Secretary be requested to commend him to the Chairman of the Qiildren's Festivals Committee in case the latter should desire to engage him to assist in drilling the children for their festivals. The motion was carried. Hour of Meeting Fixed at 2 O'Clock. Mr. Fitch moved that during the months of July and August the meetings of the Trustees and Executive Com- mittee be held at 2 o'clock instead of 3. Carried. The meeting then adjourned, Henry W, Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary. 1282 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting July 28, 1909. The fortieth meeting of the Trustees of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Cc^mmission was held at the headquar- ters of the Commission in the Tribune Building, No. 154 Nassau street, New York City, on Wednesday, July 2S, 1909, at 2 p.

The report was received and ordered on file. Great International Naval Concourse. The Secretary laid before the meeting the following letters : NAVY department, WASHINGTON. July 26, 1909. Mr. Henry W. Sackett, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, 154 Nassau street, New York. Sir: Referring to your letter dated July 14, 1909, rela- tive to the number of ships that the Department will send to the Hudson-Fulton Celebration next autumn, the De- partment has to inform you that unless unforeseen cir- cumstances arise to prevent it the following vessels will be available on the date in question and will be sent to New York to take part in the celebration : 16 battleships, 3 armored cruisers, 3 scout cruisers, 12 torpedo boats, 1294 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting 4 submarines, 2 parent skips (Dixie and Castine), 1 tender (Yankton), 2 Supply ships (Celtic and Culgoa), I repair ship (Panther), I torpedo vessel (MontgK>mery) I tug (Potomac) 7 colliers (Abarenda, Brutus, Hannibal, Lebanon, Leonidas, Marcellus, Sterling.) As the harbor will be crowded to such an extent as to make it advisable to limit the number of our own ships, due to the presence of a large number of foreign men of war and other vessels, it is recommended that the number of auxiliaries to be present be left undetermined for the present. Very respectfully, G. V. Meyer, Secretary of the Navy. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON. July 24, 1909. Mr. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary, Hudson-Fulton Commission, 154 Nassau Street, New York. Sir : The Department is advised by a telegram of the 22nd instant from the American Ambassador at Berlin that several German war ships, probably four, under the command of Admiral A. D. von Koester, will participate in the Hudson-Fulton celebration. The Ambassador adds that the names of the vessels will be furnished later. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Alvey a. Adee, Acting Secretary. The Secretary also read cablegrams from the Hon. Charles S. Francis, United States Ambassador to Austria, and the Hon. John W. Riddle, United States Ambassador to Russia, unofficially intimating that those governm.ents would not have any vessels available to send to the celebration. July 28, 1909 1295 General Woodford said that he had received a cablcerani from the Hon. Henry White, United States Ambassador to France, saying that France would send a special delegate and naval representation, and an unofficial communication conveyed the idea that France would send as many vessels as Germany. Recapitulating the naval situation, General Woodford said that the United States would send at least 53, and perhaps more if there were room; the Netherlands 2; Germany 4, under command of Grand Admiral Von Koester ; Great Britain 4, under command of Rear Admiral Hamilton ; France probably 4 ; Italy 2 ; Mexico i ; Cuba i ; and South America 5. This made an aggregate of 76 ves- sels in sight, with some of the more distant powers to be heard from. It was apparent that we should have the greatest collection of warships ever seen at one place on this side of the globe ; the largest number ever gathered to- gether anywhere except in the English channel ; and the largest number of ships of different nationalities ever con- vened anywhere. A Japanese Prince Coming. The Secretary also read a letter from Consul General' Midzuno to General Woodford, dated July 27th, stating that he had a cablegram from His Excellency Count Koniura, His Imperial Japanese Majesty's Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, saying that His Imperial Highness Prince Kunihiko of Kuni would attend. Appointed by the Mayor. The Secretary read letters from the Executive Secre- tary of His Honor the Mayor of New York, as follows : July 2T), appointing on his own motion, Mr. James H. Stack of the Hotel Knickerbocker and Mr. Lewis Suger- man of the Royal Bank of New York, No. 95 Nassau street, members of the Commission. July 27, appointing on his own initiative Mr. Gustave Kaufmann No. 18 South William street. New York; Mr. P. F. Magrath, No. 244 Front street, Binghamton; 1296 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting and Mr. Frank B. Reese, Union Depot, Albany, as mem- bers of the Commission. July 27. appointing upon recommendation of the Execu- tive Committee (see page 1277) Mr. M. C. D. Borden, Mr. George Sullivan Bowdoin, Mr. Lewis L. Delafield, Mr. L. F. Dommerich, Mr. Benedict Joseph Greenhut, Mr. Norman Bruce Ream, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Mr. Archelaus Smith and Mr. Charles R. Starbuck, as mem- bers of the Commission. The Secretary was directed to add their names to the roll of members. Changes in Commission. The Secretary reported that on April i. 1909, the Hon. J. Henry Wessel was elected President of the Village of Catskill, and thereby becamie a member of the Commission ex-officio. J J TT Also that Dr. John H. Dingman had succeeded Hon. James L. Freeborn as President of Tivoli and thereby became a member ex-officio. Cohocs Celebration Recogni::ed in Official Program. Col. MacArthur, Chairman of the Upper Hudson Com- mittee, reported satisfactory progress along all lines. His Committee was instilling enthusiasm for illumination along the upper Hudson, so that their display would be m con- junction and keeping with the illuminations from New York to Newburgh. They were also making arrange- ments for a Naval Parade, which, in proportion to water and resources, would complement the Naval Parade coming from the south. They were trying to secure special railroad rates for every trunk line, and there was promise of a great celebration in every principal community north of the Highlands. Col. MacArthur also reported that the citizens of Cohoes were planning to have a celebration on Sunday, October 10, and Monday, October 11, so as not to inter- fere with the ceremonies in Albany and Troy; and he July 28, 1909 1297 asked the sanction of the trustees to inckule the Cohoes dates in the Official Program. The Secretary said he thought there would be some embarrassment in extending the official celebration beyond the 9th, as the dates named in the official invitations sent to all the foreign governments and to the official guests in this country named September 25th to October 9th as the duration of the commemoration. He saw no objection, how- ever, to recognizing the Cohoes observances in the official program, and he so moved. Carried. Aeronautics Arrangements. Mr. Berri, Acting Chairman of the Committee on Aero- nautics, reported that the Chairman, Mr. Beck, was abroad endeavoring to arrange for tiie presence of distinguished foreign aviators. Mr. Berri had received a cablegram from Mr. Beck saying that he thought that Bleriot, who a few days ago successfully crossed the English channel, would come. Curtiss, the American, said he would be glad to come if in this country. Mr. Berri said that the Commission could only secure aviators by paying their expenses and offering prizes big enough to attract. $10,000 Appropriated for Aquatic Sports. Captain Fry, Chairman of the Committee on Aquatic Sports, presented informally a tentative program. The competitions on the river at New York on Wednesday, September 29th, will be pulling races between the crews of foreign warships ; pulling races between crews of American warships ; international races in which one crew from each unit will participate ; interstate contests between Naval Militia crews, etc.; canoe races; and five classes of motor boat races, not including the high power boats. Op- posite Yonkers , on the same day, there will be races between crews of various amateur clubs, and high power motor boat contests. At Newburgh, on Saturday, October 2nd, there will be sailing races between boats under the 33-foot measurement, in 9 small classes — perhaps 10 if the Dutch send a special boat for this competition. There 1298 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting will also be 4 classes of motor boat races at Nevvburgh. Captain Fry estimated that the necessary prizes — shields to be affixed to ships, medals and cups — would cost $6,900 ; tugs, stake-boats, etc., $1,500; subsistence and wages $1,000; and clerical assistance $600, making a total of $10,000. Mr. Ridder moved that $10,000 be appropriated to the Committee on Aquatic Sports, with the understanding that that amount should include the $1,000 previously appro- priated and should not be exceeded. Carried. Metropolitan Museum of Art Exhibition to Open September 20. Mr. de Forest, Chairman of the sub-Committee on Art Exhibits, reported that the arrangements for the Hudson- Fulton exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art were completed and that the exhibits were beginning to arrive. The only difficulty which the Committee had en- countered was an embarrassment of riches; for it had received more offers than it could accept. Certain features, however, had been notably extended. It was probable that there would be nearer 30 Rembrandts than 25, the number which he mentioned in his report on April 28th. The representation of other artists would be correspondingly increased. Sir William Van Horn of Montreal would con- tribute by sending exhibits from his valuable collection of Dutch silver ships. As to the Fulton side of the exhibit, it would be enlarged in the way of artistic furniture so as to recognize properly the work of Duncan Phyfe, the New York cabinet maker of Fulton's time. The museum would issue catalogues, of which Mr. de Forest submitted sample pages. There would be a cheap popular catalogue without illustrations to be sold at 25 cents a copy, and another on large paper with illustrations of both branches of the exhi- bition. Subject to the approval of the Trustees, the Com- mittee proposed to open the exhibition with a public recep- tion on September 20, five days in advance of the formal opening of the Celebration, so as to avoid overcrowding. It was thought to be inadvisable to show the exhibits the first July 28, 1909 1299 time when the cit}- was crowded. As to the invitations, it was proposed to invite, with their ladies, all the members of the Commission, all members of the Citizens' Commit- tees, all contributors to the Commission's subscription fund, and of course the members of the museum. The museum had comfortably accommodated 10,000 persons on similar occasions. The exhibition would probably remain open until the end of November, but would certainly be open two months. The Secretary moved that the report be received and the recommendations approved. Carried. " Three Centuries of AVrc York City " Exhibition Reeog- niced in Offieial Program. Dr. Kunz, Chairman of the sub-Committee on Historical Exhibits, reported that the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society and the National Arts Club of New York had arranged for a joint exhibition to be held in the National Arts Club Gallery, No. 15 Gramercy Park, for four weeks beginning September 21, aiid he moved that it be recognized in the Official Program. The exhibition will illustrate " Three Centuries of New York City," with the special object of showing, by maps, paint- ings, engravings and kindred objects the growth of the City from the aboriginal period to its present form. The joint committee in charge is composed as follows : Representing the American Scenic & Historic Preserva- tion Society: Mr. Reginald Pelham Bolton, Chairman of New York, the Hon. A. T. Clearwater of Kingston, Mr. Ira K. Morris of West New Brighton, the Hon. Gordon H. Peck of West Haverstraw, the Hon. Stephen H. Thayer of Yonkers and Dr. George F. Kunz, New York.

Henry Russell Drowne of New York and Mr. Walter H. Page of New York. I300 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Dr. Kunz added that the organizations named asked for no money from this Commission, confining their request to that for official recognition. The motion approving the recommendations was carried. Report of Auditing Committee. Mr. Philhps, Chairman of the Auditing Committee, re- ported that the Ways and Means Committee was in close cooperation with his Committee on all financial matters, particularly in connection with city matters. The accounts of the Commission, he said, were in good condition. Authorised Manufacturers of Official Flags. Mr. Ames, Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flags and Posters, reported that the privilege to manufac- ture and sell the official Hudson-Fulton Flag had been granted to the following firms on condition that they comply with the Commission's specifications: The Ameri- can Flag Co., No. 45 Elizabeth street; Annin & Co., No. 99 Fulton street; F. M. Chambers, No. 1931 Broad- way; Hoffman Corr Co., No. 55 White street; M. Magee & Sons, No. 147 Fulton street; Pain Manufacturing Co., No. 12 Park place; all of New York City; and Whitehead and Hoag, Newark, N. J. Poster Design Proposed for Pasters and Post Cards. Mr. Ames also reported that the Sackett & Wilhelms Co. who had the privilege of reproducing the design of the Official Poster in reduced form upon envelopes, had re- quested permission to manufacture it also as a paster. Re- ferred back to the Committee with power. Mr. Ames also moved that the Sackett & Wilhelms Co. be permitted to reproduce the poster design on postal cards. The Secretary said he thought there were contractual obstacles in the way. The Sackett & Wilhelms Co. had the exclusive right to reproduce the poster design; while the Redfield Brothers had the exclusive right to publish postal cards. He did not see how the poster design could be granted to the latter without interfering with the privi- OFFICIAL FLAG OF THE HUDSON^FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION Palent applied for I I PON application, duly made to the Hudson- Fulton Celebra' ^^ tion Commission, permission will be granted to any manufac- turer of or dealer in flags, to make and sell the Official Flag, provided the manufacturer or seller will agree to comply with the Commission's specifications.

Referred to the Executive Committee and the Com- mittee on Badges, Flags and Posters with power. Banquet Tickets Limited to One Each. When the Banquet Committee was called, the Assistant Secretary reported that the Chairman, Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson, had gone with Mr. J. P. Morgan to attend the funeral of the late Dr. Huntington and regretted very much that he could not be present at this meeting. For the information of the Trustees, the Assistant Secretary said that at the Executive Committee meeting held July 21, Mr. Stetson announced that on account of the great demand for seats at the Official Banquet, it would be necessary to limit subscribers to one ticket each. The Secretary added that this also precluded the pres- ence of ladies, contrary to the desire of Mr. Stetson and many others under other circumstances. $2,200 Appropriated to Bronx Committee. The Secretary presented a letter from Mr. Schlemmer, Secretary of the Bronx Committee, giving the following outline of the program arranged by the Citizens' Com- mittee of the Bronx: Saturday, September 25th and Sunday, September 26th, religious observances. Monday, September 27th, general decoration of public and private dwellings ; in the evening, open air concert in Crotona Park by the German Singing Societies of the Bronx, and a chorus of public school children of the Bronx. Wednesday, September 29th, military, civic and histori- cal parade ; floats and moving tableaux representing the principal events in the history of New York and the Borough of the Bronx in particular; all the Military and Civic Bodies of the Borough to participate in this parade. Dedication of the Hudson Monument on Spuyten Duyvil Hill. In the evening, literary exercises at ]\Iorris High School with orations by eminent citizens. 1302 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Thursday, September 30th, in the evening, Ofificial Ban- quet to invited guests of the Borough. Friday, October ist, view of Naval Parade from the river front. Sahites from points along the Hudson to the naval procession passing up the river. Saturday, October 2nd, children's festivals in all parts of the Borough ; at 9 p. m., signal fires along the Hudson river; illumination in every section of the Borough. For the purposes of this celebration, the Committee estimated that it would require $2,200. Mr. Ridder moved that the subject of an appropriation be referred to the Ways and Means Committee with power. Carried. Later in the meeting, it was voted to reconsider this reference, and a substitute resolution was adopted, appro- priating $2,200 for the expenses of the Bronx Committee. Children's Festivals — Resolution Concerning Parks. i> Mr. Parsons reported that considerable progress had been made in the preparation for the Children's Festivals. The children were being organized and drilling had already begun. The arrangements could be facilitated, he said, i^ a somewhat larger measure of freedom could be secured in the use of the parks. He therefore offered the follow- ing resolution : Resolved, that the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission hereby thanks the Hon. Henry Smith, Park Commissioner for the Boroughs of ^Manhattan and Richmond ; Hon. ]Michael J. Kennedy, Park Commissioner for the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and the Hon. William I. Berry, Park Commissioner for the Borough of the Bronx, for their great courtesy and cordial cooperation in promoting the arrangements for the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. Realizing the difficulty in the way of protecting the public parks from injury by the presence of multitudes, the Trustees respectfully request the Park Commissioners to extend the use of the public spaces to the Children's Fes- tivals Committee as far as is consistent with the preserva- tion of the parks from permanent impairment. Carried. July 28, 1909 1303 $^2,000 Reconuncnded for Decorations and Stands. In the absence of Mr. Charles R. Lamb, Chairman of the Committee on Decorations and Stands, Mr. Ridder pre- sented a report in which Mr. Lamb asked for $35,000 — $31,000 for reviewing- stands and $4,000 for decorating the hne of march at points not otherwise ornamented. Mr. Lamb's report continues : I would say for the information of the Commission, that our Committee has been calling for a standartl design for the Private Stands with symbolic Dutch colors for the fronts of all and have asked that the Permits as issued either by the Borough President or the Park Commissioner shall incor]X)rate this condition. If carried out as we expect it will be, then the work of our Committee will be to fill in those parts of the line of Parade which have no stands on, so as to give a continuing effect of decoration, for which the additional appropriation is desired. It would hardly seem necessary for me to emphasize the fact that upon the effect of the " line of Parade " the artistic criticism of our whole celebration will be focused. The floats will be seen but for a short time, the '' line of Parade " zvill remain decorated for two zveeks. This is . what everybody will see who visits New York and the utmost that the Commission can do in the way of appro- priation would be appreciated and expended through our Committee to secure the best artistic results. I would call the attention of the Commission to the fact that for the " Dewey " Celebration, the Board of Alder- men voted over $40,000 to be expended within the small area of 23rd to 26th streets, and that it was the centraliza- tion of the artistic effect of decoration that secured the commendation of the entire community. Mr. Ridder moved that the Executive Committee be empowered to appropriate not to exceed $32,000 for decorations and reviewing stands. Carried. Children s Exhibition by Federation of Churches. At Mr. Stetson's request, the Secretary laid before the meeting- a letter which the former had received from the Federation of Churches and Christian Organizations 1304 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting soliciting svibscriptions for a children's exhibition at Car- negie Hall on the evening of September 29th — the same evening assigned by the Commission for the Official Ban- quet. Referred to the Children's Festivals Committee. Arrival of the Half Moon. Col. Satterlee, Chairman of the Half Moon Committee, briefly reported that the Half Moon had arrived on the evening of July 22nd on board the Holland-America line steamer Soestdyk and on the morning of the 23d the Soestdyk proceeded to the Navy Yard where the Half Moon was placed in the water about 11 a. m. (See pages 1267-1272). Arrangements for Uhnninations. Mr. Berri reported satisfactory progress in the arrange- ments for illuminations. By widening the spacing of the lights on the East river bridges, several thousand lights have been saved for use on the reviewing stands at the discretion of the Committee on Decorations and Stands. Referring to the government military posts on the harbor, he said that Governor's Island, Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton had received permission to illuminate. The up- river people had taken a few more points and the Com- mittee was trying to interest New Jersey. The electrical display in New York, he said, would be very beautiful. The report was received and approved. Neiv Jersey to lUinninatc. General Woodford reported, apropos of Mr. Berri's allu- sion to New Jersey, that ex-Governor Stokes, Chairman of the Commission's New Jersey Committee, had given him (General Woodford) the pleasure of taking luncheon with him that day, and had assured him that New Jersey would do her part. Governor Stokes sent his personal compliments to Mr. Berri and expressed the desire for an early conference with him. The prospects were that the New Jersey shore would be illuminated from the high- lands of Navesink to the State line. (Applause.) July 28, 1909 1305 1 Lower Hudson Committee Report. Mayor Warren, Chairman of the Lower Hudson Com- mittee, presented a report, the substance of which follows:; This Committee is proceeding- with all due diligence with the work in the territory assigned, and the situation is most satisfactory to-day, both in the amount of prepara- tions for the celebration already made and in the plans for future accomplishment. Contracts have been and are being made which will result in the consummation of a well devised plan for the production of local celebrations in conjunction with the general plan of parades of floats in various localities under the auspices of this Committee. Yonkers reports a Committee of Three Hundred repre- sentative citizens, sub-divided into committees actively en- gaged in the work of preparation, which with the active cooperation of Mt. Vernon and New Rochelle, will result in the most important and instructive parade ever held there. Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown and North Tarrytown, have united their efforts antl will pro- duce on October 5th, good results, while Nyack on Octo- ber 6th will combine the representations of Piermont, Grand View, South Nyack, Nyack and Upper Nyack. In the forenoon of October 7th, Ossining with the aid of Briarcliff, Scarborough and Croton-on-Hudson will con- summate the v/ell considered plans now under way, and in the afternoon of October 7th, Haverstraw and West Haverstraw will view at Stony Point a spectacular Water Parade of the floats. Peekskill is now maturing its plans for its celebration on October 8th, and Cold Spring, aided by Harrisons, High- land Falls, West Point and nearby villages will end the celebration by a Water Parade of the floats on October 9th. Appropriations for Publications Rescinded. The Assistant Secretary moved to revoke the appropria- tion of $5,400 made December 23, 1908 (pages 716-717) for souvenir book and the appropriation of $2,000 made January 27, 1909 (page 764) for the preparation of post cards. Carried. Official Publications. The Assistant Secretary reported that a contract was in course of negotiation with Redfield Brothers, Incorporated, 1306 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting of No. 311 West 43d St, giving them the exclusive right to print and sell the Official Program, the Historical Parade Souvenir, the smaller edition of the latter, and souvenir post cards, upon the payment of royalties to the Commission. No advertisements are to be permitted in any of them, but persons or firms purchasing large quan- tities are to be permitted to have printed upon the pam- phlets a complimentary card of presentation. AdditioiiS'fo Manliattan Citizens' Committee. Mr. Tuckerman, Secretary of the Manhattan Citizens' Committee, reported that the following named gentlemen have been added tO' the Manhattan Citizens' Committee by the Mayor: Mr. August L. Bohn, Mr. C. B. Brine, Mr. George Creighton, Mr. John D. Doris, Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrick, Mr. Thomas E. Loughlin, Mr. James McEntegart, Mr. John P. McKegney and Mr. John T. Nevins. The following named gentlemen have been made mem- bers of this Committee by appointment by Mr. Choate: Mr. R. J. Beach, Com. R. P. Forshew, Capt. O. C. Hamlet, Mr. Henry Hornbostel, Dr. J. C. MacEvitt, Mr. H. W. Miller, Mr. J. Adolph, Mollenhauer, Capt. J. Fred- eric Mott, Capt. Howard Patterson, ;Mr. J. Otis Post, Mr. R. S. Sloan. Mr. J. Frederic Tams, Lieut. G. B. Townsend and Capt. G. A. White. Official Events before September 2jth Discouraged, Captain Miller reported that the Richmond Citizens' Committee desired to have a celebration of fireworks on Friday, September 24, and he thought it inadvisable to have an official event before the formal opening of the celebration on September 25th. The subject was discussed by Messrs. Ridder, Berri and Richards, and deferred for further consideration. July 28, 1909 1307 Champlain Floats Assigned to Naval Parade Committee. Captain ]\Iiller, referring to the Champlain barges, said that the Naval Parade Committee could use them very ad- vantageously in landing the 20,000 men from the naval vessels. He said that it was important to make the recep- tion of the foreign guests something like that abroad. He was afraid that on the day of the land parade, with the limited facilities naturally provided by the city, there would be congestion. It would recjuire two hours to land 5,000 men on the best float that could be made, and the Cham- plain floats could be adapted to this purpose very well. The Secretary moved that the floats be assigned to the use of the Naval Parade Committee. Carried. Entertainment of Naval Guests. Captain Miller said that a number of citizens — grad- uates of the United States Naval Academy and otherwise identified with naval afifairs — desired, in connection with Columbia University, to tender a garden party to the vis- iting naval officers. This entertainment, for which no appropriation was asked from the Commission, was desired to be held at the University on Wednesday afternoon, September 29th. He therefore moved that such garden party be given recognition in the Official Program. Mr. Ridder said he thought there was no time in that week for such an affair. It was necessary to provide some time for a reception at the Navy Yard. He suggested deferring it until the following week. Dr. Kunz seconded Captain Miller's motion, provided a time could be found which would not conflict with any other official arrangements. He commented on the fact that there would be no official social function in which both ladies and gentlemen could meet, such as are held abroad, and he thought the proposed garden party would fill a gap. After some general discussion the subject was referred to the Executive Committee, with power. 1308 Minutes of Trustees' Meetin Navy Yard Reception Suggested for September 24th. Captain Murdock, U. S. N., Commandant of the New York Navy Yard, said that he would like to have a recep- tion to the visiting naval guests at the Navy Yard on Friday, September 24th. This reception would be entirely independent of this Commission, and the naval authorities could be depended upon to see that the obligations of official etiquette and hospitality were properly fulfilled. They asked for no official recognition from the Commis- sion and no appropriation. They simply desired that nothing else be assigned by the Commission for the 24th. The President, taking cognizance of Captain Murdock's first appearance at the Trustees' meeting, rose and ex- tended to him in behalf of the Commission a very cordial welcome. The President said that Captain Murdock's pre- decessors in command of the Navy Yard, Admiral Cogh- lan and Admiral Goodrich, had been of very great help, and that it was a source of gratification to find the in- cumbent entering into the work of the Commission with the same interest and helpfulness. A general discussion followed, participated in by Cap- tain Murdock, Mr. Ridder, Mr. Fairchild and others, in which the Navy Yard reception and the Columbia garden party were jointly considered. Mr. Fairchild gave a brief statement of the plan of the Columbia project formed at a meeting held a few days before in the office of Col. Thompson. At that meeting it was decided that if the Trustees of the Commission approved, they would arrange for a garden party at Columbia University. Naval offi- cials were expected to furnish 16 bands of music ; the jackies would come ashore and play baseball ; the Colum- bia boys would give an athletic exhibition ; refreshments would be served, and other forms of entertainment would be provided. The Assistant Secretary said that in the preceding dis- cussion the Commandant of the Navy Yard had made one suggestion which he thought should be adopted, not only on account of its source, but also because it was in line July 28, 1909 1309 with the policy of the Commission, namely, that we do not arrange any official function of the Commission for Fri- day, September 24th. The Assistant Secretary recalled the great debt of the Commission to the authorities of the Navy Yard, not only in their cooperation in arranging for the naval parade, but also in the reception and care of the Half Moon now lying there. He also referred to the importance of the naval features of the celebration, and he thought that any wish or suggestion emanating from Captain Murdock should receive the Commission's cordial acquiescence. He therefore moved that it was the sense of the Trustees that no official function of this Commis- sion should be held on Friday, September 24th. Captain Miller seconded the motion. General Woodford suggested that the matter might be adjusted at an informal conference to be held after the close of the meeting. Mr. Seward thought that that was the best course and moved that the President's suggestion be declared to be the sense of the meeting. The motion was seconded. After some further discussion, the subject was inform- ally dropped. Trustees Elected. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Committee on Nominations, presented a report nominating the following named gen- tlemen for election as Trustees : Lieutenant-Commander Alfred B. Fry, Hon. Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., Mr. Louis A. Ames, Mr. Arthur Curtiss James, Mr. Archer M. Hunt- ington, Mr. Edward D. Adams, Mr. Samuel W. Fairchild, and the Hon. John J. Brady. The report was received. Mr. Fitch moved that the Secretary be directed to cast a single ballot in behalf of the meeting for the nominees. Unanimously carried. The ballot having been cast as directed, the nominees were declared elected. i^io Minutes of Trustees' Meeting Nominated for Appointment by the Mayor.

Up to date, 63 acceptances and 3 regrets had been received, while 4 replies were uncertain. $2,2^0 Appropriated to Richmond Committee.

On Friday, October ist, Land Parade in Richmond Borough, including the historical floats and pageants por- tion of the floats to be used in Staten Island with the 131 2 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting parade, and as escort of the floats of local Staten Island societies representing Holland, the Huguenots, English Colonial Period and Revolutionary Period, for which pur- pose it will be necessary to construct a reviewing stand on the line of the parade to hold the members of the local committee, prominent guests and citizens' the cost not to exceed $1000; and the erection of a roadway and landing stage at Mariners Harbor to land the floats which will come down from Brooklyn to Staten Island, such roadway and landing stage not to exceed $500 cost ; also for minor incidental expenses for which vouchers will be presented by the Chairman of the local land Parade Committee not to exceed the sum of $250. For the foregoing purposes Mr. Richards asked for an appropriation of $2,750. Mr. Ridder moved that the sum of $2,750 be voted to the Richmond Committee. Carried. Reduced Transportation Rates. In the absence of General Carroll, Chairman of the Committee on Transportation, the Secretary reported that negotiations were pending with the Trunk Line Associa- tion for special rates to all points along the Hudson river. A brief discussion of the subject followed, participated in by Col. MacArthur and others, at the conclusion of which the Secretary was requested to make application to all the passenger associations handling traffic to Hudson river points for reduced rates. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Minutes of The Upper- Hudson Committee July 31, 1909 The fifth meeting of the Upper-Hudson Committee of the Hndson-Fuhon Celebration Commission was held at the Village of Catskill, N. Y., on Saturday, July 31, 1909, at 3 o'clock p. M. Roll Call. Present: Hon. Arthur Mac Arthur, Chairman, Troy ; Mr. Benjamin F. Hamilton, Secretary, New York City; Mr. William Wortman, Assistant Secretary, Hudson ; Mr. William P. Adams, Cohoes ; Mr. Frank Cooper, Schenec- tady ; Hon. Charles A. Elliott, Catskill, Dr. John D. Dingman, Tivoli ; Mr. Robert J. MacFarland, Brooklyn; Mr. William J. McKay, Newburgh ; Hon. J. W. Wessell, Catskill; General W. S. C. Wiley, Catskill. Privilege of Floor Granted. The Chairman stated that those present as guests and who are not members of the Upper-Hudson Committee would be granted the privilege of the floor, if any of them so desired, unless objection should be made. Meetings of Committee. The Chairman stated that it had been suggested to him that it would be necessary for the Upper-Hudson Com- mittee to hold meetings at least once a month from this date until the time of the Celebration. There is a meeting of the Board of Trustees held in the City of New York once a month, at which time the chairmen of committees are called upon for a report, and this Committee, through its chairman, should render monthly reports, in like manner as the other committees. He said that at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees he had made note of several 1332 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee things which should be considered by this Committee and among others was the matter of the Naval Parade north of the City of Newburgh. He called upon Mr. McKay (New- burgh), Chairman of the Naval Commuttee, for a report and such suggestions as he desired to make. Report of Naval Committee. Mr. McKay (Newburgh), Chairman of the Naval Com- mittee, said that at the present time it was somewhat uncer- tain as to just how many boats the Commission would be able to get to make the trip north of Newburgh ; that it was not until the afternoon of the last meeting of the Trustees that the Commission knew for a certainty that the United States Government would designate any boats to take part in the Celebration, although it had been so understood unofficially ; that the North Atlantic Fleet has now been or will be ordered to go to New York to partici- pate in the naval functions. As at present constituted, that fleet numbers about 60, of all classes, and with the foreign men of war the number will be about 80, and it is expected that there will be in all about 100 boats in New York Harbor. On the way up the river it will be necessary to detach from time to time such boats as cannot proceed further with safety, by reason of the depth of water not being sufficient. Some may be detached at Poughkeepsie, some at Kingston and some at Hudson. But the Naval Parade Committee has decided to urge the Naval Department of the Government to grant permission to take every war vessel as far north of Newburgh as the depth of the water will warrant. Mr. McKay suggested that every city and town to which an appropriation has been made and where the Celebration is to be held, urge the Member of Congress from its district and such men as may have influence in that direction to communicate with the Naval Department and endeavor to have as many vessels as possible brought to their par- ticular locality, naming the date. That at the present time not one cent was appropriated to move the fleet beyond July 31, 1909 1333 Newburgh. The appropriation bill is made up of two divisions, one for the purpose of the Celebration southerly of Newburgh, and the other at and northerly of Newburgh. At the last meeting of this Committee, held in the City of Troy, the appropriation to the Upper Hudson was divided among places where the Celebration is to be held and the sum of $5000 was left for general expenses; that this division was made subject to the approval of the Com- mission. It will take from three to four thousand dollars to properly move the fleet from Newburgh to Troy, the expenditures including such items as tugs for the replicas of the Half Moon and the Clermont, and entertainment for the captain, officers and men on board the Half Moon. There will be a captain from the Royal Dutch Navy on the Half Moon and he should be entertained in a dignified manner, as well as the representatives of the family of Robert Fulton who will be on board the Clermont. There should also be a committee boat, where members of the fleet after each day can meet and outline the parade and de- tails. The Committee does not feel that it should be a bur- den upon the municipalities visited by the fleet and some specific amount should be appropriated for its uses and pur- poses. Our Finance Committee should be empowered to take up this matter at once. The Naval Parade Committee would request that each town at which the Celebration is to be held, arrange for its Holland Societies to entertain the captain of the Half Moon, so that there will be some one able to talk to him in his own language and make him feel at home, and in the same way arrange to meet the people on the Clermont. If the people of the various municipalities desire to board the Half Moon and the Clermont, proper docking facilities must be provided, which includes a landing float for the smaller cutters, which float should be at least 50 feet in length so that a continuous stream of cutters can come and go without loss of time. Arrangements should also be made for the firing of a salute on the arrival of the fleet. The Naval Committee will decide as to who is the ranking officer and what salute 1334 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee is required. Each of the municipalities should inform the Naval Committee as to what hour they expect the fleet to arrive. The Naval Committee should also be informed as to what, if any, functions the municipalities care to have this Committee and the guests accompanying it attend. The present intention is to divide the fleet into four divisions : First — Escort Squadron. Second — Steamboats. Third — Tugs. Fourth — Motor Boats. The Naval Committee expects to have the inland waters covered by revenue cutters, so that order and discipline may be maintained on the part of all boats. The Naval Committee also desire to be informed as to the location of the landing place for the fleet, as to how much anchorage is available and as to where the fleet will be met, whether below the particular municipality where the Celebration is to be held or at the anchorage ; also as to whether the Committee and those aboard the fleet will be expected to participate in the land parade. When the Naval Parade Committee arrives at each town it will be at the disposal of the local committee, anything that is desired of the Naval Committee, if it is within its province, shall be done. Upon the local committees meeting the fleet, they will board the Naval Parade Committee boat, and then the boat which brings the Committee will drop back to the order in which they should come in the parade. An act has been passed by Congress providing for the service of revenue cutters, but whether or not that act pro- vides for such services north of Newburgh, the Committee is not as yet able to report, but that fact will be ascertained. Mr. Wesley Ellis, of Kingston, inquired whether it was the intention of the Naval Committee to participate in the land parades, and Mr. McKay said that if there were enough sailors and marines to make a creditable showing they would participate in such parades. July 31, 1909 1335 Beacon Fires. The Chairman brought to the attention of the Committee the matter of the illumination of the Upper Hudson on October 9th by means of beacon fires and said that perhaps it would be well to appoint a committee in this respect ; that so far as the Upper-Hudson Committee is concerned, nothing as yet had been done to see that this portion of the Celebration is carried out by each locality. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) said that the City of Newburgh had appropriated $1000 for illuminations at Fishkill Land- ing, directly opposite his city. Mr. Hamilton (New York City) moved that a committee of three be appointed to take up the matter of beacon fires from the City of Newburgh to Troy, which motion was seconded by General Wiley (Catskill), who also inquired as to whether any towns north of Newburgh had taken up the question of beacon fires. The Chairman stated that the Acting President of the Commission, Mr. Ridder, had inquired about this very thing and so far as he could learn, some of the towns had the matter in contemplation while others ignored it. The motion of Mr. Hamilton was then adopted. Celebration at Cohoes. Mr. Adams (Cohoes) said that since the last meeting the City of Cohoes had definitely decided to have the Celebra- tion on October 10 and ii ; that communications had been sent to Colonel Sackett, Secretary of the Commission, who, after conference with the President of the Commission, replied that there was no objection to such a celebration and that hereafter it would be included in the literature sent out by the Commission. That Cohoes desired to be regarded as a part of the Upper-Hudson Celebration and that if any boats could be sent to that place it would be appreciated. The matter of obtaining boats for the City of Cohoes was referred to the Naval Committee. The Chairman stated that at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees he had brought this matter to the attention of 1336 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee the Board and at that time it was decided to include the Celebration in the City of Cohoes for the two days in the official programme. Floats for Parades. The Giairman said that the Commission would deliver floats at the docks of the various municipalities without cost, but that such municipalities would have to provide horses and men to fill the costumes and such music as may be deemed necessary. He said that Mr. A. H. Stoddard, Captain of Pageantry, would visit any of the towns in which the Celebration is to be held and make a preliminary investigation as to the possibility of using the floats. Preliminary Estimates. The Chairman said that Colonel Sackett, Secretary of the Commission, desires to obtain from each municipality to which State moneys have been appropriated, a list of the subjects for which the money is to be spent, and he requested that the Secretary of the Upper-Hudson Com- mittee notify such municipalities accordingly. Manner of Auditing Bills. The Chairman said that an Auditing Committee, consist- ing of nine had been appointed at the last meeting for the purpose of passing upon all bills, but some of the members of the Upper-Hudson Committee had afterwards expressed doubts as to the feasibility of this plan, and it was suggested that a member of the Committee from each municipality audit the bills from his particular locality and forward them direct to the Secretary of the Commission. This suggestion was submitted to Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson, Qiairman of the Law Committee, and he refused to sanction it, stating that all bills of the Upper Hudson should be passed upon by the Chairman of that Committee. Mr. Hamilton (New York City) moved that the bills chargeable to the Upper-Hudson Committee be audited as follows: Those emanating from the City of Hudson shall be audited by Hon. Henry Hudson ; those from the City of Troy by Mr. C. F. Burns ; those from the City of New- July 31, 1909 1337 burgh by the Hon. Benjamin McClung; those from Albany by the Hon. Arthur L. Andrews ; those from Kingston by the Hon. Waher P. Crane ; those from Poughkeepsie by the Hon. John K. Sague ; those from Catskill by General W. S. C. Wiley; and those from Cohoes by the Hon. M. B, Hanson. And that such bills after being so audited shall be forwarded to the Chairman of the Upper-Hudson Com- mittee for his approval. Carried. Stenographer for Chairman. The Chairman requested the privilege of sending in the name of a stenographer for exemption from the Civil Service Rule, as he required a stenographer in connection with his duties as Chairman of this Committee, and on motion his request was granted. Assistant to the Secretary of the Commission. The Chairman suggested that some provision be made for compensating Mr. William Wortman for his services in connection with the Upper-Hudson Committee. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) spoke in favor of making an adequate appropriation. Mr. Hamilton (New York City) moved that this Com- mittee recommend the appointment of Mr. William Wort- man as an assistant to the Secretary of the Commission, for the purposes of the Celebration in connection with the Upper-Hudson Committee ; his compensation to be $100 per month from May i, 1909, and to be paid out of the sum of $5,000 appropriated for general expenses of this Com- mittee, and that the State Civil Service Commission be re- quested to exempt such position from the Civil Service Rules. Carried. Course of Flotilla. Air. McKay (Newburgh) said that Mr. John Henry Liv- ingston had suggested that the flotilla proceed up the east channel of the Hudson River opposite Tivoli, but that it is a question whether there is a sufficient depth of water in that channel. He said the matter would be investigated. 1338 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee Invitation from CoJiocs. Mr. Adams (Cohoes) extended an invitation to all of the members of the Committee to come to Cohoes on October 10 and II to view the Celebration to be held at that place. On motion of Mr. Hamilton (New York City) the invitation was accepted, with thanks. The Qiairman said that the original Half Moon had visited Cohoes, and Mr. McKay, Chairman of the Naval Committee, stated that if that was so, the Half Moon should go there again. Funds for Naval Parade. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) moved that the eight who have been named at this meeting as the persons to audit the bills of this Committee, in the manner stated in the motion, be constituted a committee for the purpose of taking up and passing upon the matter of funds for the Naval Parade. On motion, the meeting adjourned. Benjamin F. Hamilton, Secretary, Upper-Hudson Committee. Wm. Wortman, Assistant Secretary, Upper-Hudson Committee. 1339 Minutes of Executive Committee August 4, 1909 A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission was held, pursuant to call, at" the headquarters of the Commission in the Tribune Building, No. 154 Nassau Street, New York City, on Wed- nesday, August 4, 1909, at 2 p.

Arthur Bailly-Blanchard, Second Secretary of the American Embassy at Paris, stating that France would be represented 1340 Minutes of Executive Committee at the Celebration by a naval division of three battleships and that a member of the French Institute would also be delegated; Also a communication from the Hon. Edwin V. Morgan, American Minister to Cuba, reporting that the Cuban Government would be represented by the Revenue Cutter Hatuey and a special delegate to be named later; Also a communication from the Hon. Huntington Wilson, Acting Secretary of State, reporting that a telegram from the American Ambassador at London, dated July 26, stated that H. M. S. " Black Prince " would not accompany the British squadron as before reported. Appointed by tlie Mayor. The Secretary read a letter from the Executive Secretary of the Alayor of New York, dated July 27th, stating that the Mayor, upon his own initiative, had appointed as mem- bers of the Commission Mr. Henry J. Goggin, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Federation of Post- office Clerks, General Postoffice, New York City, and Mr. Albert B. Rossdale of the Third Division, General Post- office, New York City ; Also a letter from the Executive Secretary of the Mayor, dated July 31st, stating that the Mayor, on his own motion, had appointed as a member of the Commission Mr. James Hoare of Corning, N. Y. The Secretary was directed to add their names to the roll of the Commission. I State Civil Service Commission's Resolutions. The Secretary read a letter dated July 28th from the State Civil Service Commission, reporting that upon July 22nd (the Commission had adopted the following resolutions : Resolved, That Charles P. Tower, to be employed by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission as Secretary to the Committee on Aquatic Sports, be and hereby is excepted from examination under the provisions of Civil Service Rule Vni, subdivision 9, it appearing that Mr. Tower is a person engaged in private business and that the services to August 4, 1909 1 341 be rendered are professional and expert and of occasional and exceptional character; provided, however, that his total compensation shall not exceed $450, at the rate of $150 per month. Resolved, That \V. F. Clark, to be employed by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission as writer of press articles, be and hereby is excepted from examination under the provisions of Civil Service Rule VIII, subdivision 9, it appearing that Mr. Clark is a person engaged in private business and that the services to be rendered are expert and of occasional and exception character ; provided, however, that his total compensation shall not exceed the sum of $1500.

Salary of Mr. David T. Wells Increased. The Secretary moved that the salary of Mr. David T. Wells, Assistant to the Secretary, now at the rate of $208.33 a month, be increased to the amount paid to Mr. George N. Moran, Assistant to the Secretary, namely, $291.66 a month from the first of August. The Secretary stated that the duties devolving upon Mr. Wells had very greatly increased and that the satisfactory character of his services made it but just that he should receive the compensation contemplated in the motion. The motion was unanimously carried. Aldermanic Sub-Committees. The Secretary read a communication dated August 2d, from the Aldermanic Committee, reporting the appointment of the following sub-committees at a meeting held July 31. On Steamboat, (Plymouth) : Aldermen Dowling, Schloss and Rendt. 1342 Minutes of Executive Committee On Stands : For Manhattan, Alderman Dowling ; for Brooklyn, Alderman Kenney ; and for Richmond, Alder- man Rendt. Reproduction of Poster Design Authorised. The Secretary moved that Redfield Brothers be author- ized to reproduce the design of the official poster upon post- cards and that railroad companies contributing to the sub- scription fund be allowed to use the design on their literature, exclusive of envelopes and post-cards. Carried. Aldermanic Contraets for Stands Amounting to $25,725.75 Approved. Mr. Ridder reported that on the morning of August 4th, he and Mr. Charles R. Lamb, Chairman of the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands, had conferred with the Aldermen in regard to the erecting of reviewing stands and that the Aldermen awarded contracts for stands as follows : Manhattan (two stands at Madison Square), seat 9,735 $8,274 75 Manhattan (stand from 63rd to 66th St.), seat 6,000 5,100 00 Brooklyn (four stands on Eastern Parkway, one of which is to be turned over to the Hudson-Fulton Commission for their ex- clusive use), seat 12,000 9,960 00 Richmond (one stand, half of which is to be turned over to the Hudson-Fulton Commission for their exclusive use, including bunting $2,500) 2,391 00 $25,725 75 Tentative estimates were made for stands in Bronx $2,500 Queens 1,000 Mr. Ridder said that these stands would be erected under the direct auspices of the Aldermen and would be paid for out of the appropriation of $250,000 made by the City. By this arrangement duplications would be avoided while, at • August 4, 1909 1343 the same time, the Commission secured its share of accom- modation in the stands. Air. Charles R. Lamb moved that the report be approved. Carried, $24,000 Appropriated for Decorations and Reviezving Stands. Mr. Charles R. Lamb, Chairman of the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands, reported that for the erection of the Commission's official stand on the west side of Fifth avenue between Fortieth and Forty-second streets, for the Court of Honor at that place, for the Commission's Reviewing Stand on Central Park West extending from Sixtieth street to Sixty-third street and for bunting decora- tions, the sum of $24,000 was required by his Committee. He said that wdiile he would keep within any amount that the Executive Committee might vote, yet $15,000, the amount previously suggested, was very little for this pur- pose. He recalled the fact that over three times the latter amount was spent at the time of the Dewey Parade. The approach to the Court of Honor in front of the official stand between Fortieth and Forty-second streets would begin at Forty-seventh street, at wdiich point the full width of the street would be given up to the parade. The official stand upon which would be assembled the guests of the Commission, the Governor and the Mayor, and the Court of Honor at this point w^ould be the apex of the Celebration and should be distinguished by the character of its orna- mentation and environment. Mr. Ridder thought that a smaller amount of money than that asked for would be sufficient when taken in con- nection with the provision made by the Aldermanic Stands. He asked ex-Mayor Low's views upon the subject. Dr. Low said that he was inclined to take the artistic view expressed by Mr. Lamb. The Celebration was being carried out on the largest scale on which the City ever did anything of the kind and he thought that at the Reviewing Stand where the official guests were assembled the Commis- 1344 Minutes of Executive Committee sion should do more than elsewhere. He was with Mr. Lamb on the general proposition. Brief remarks were made by Judge Parker, Col. Ogden and Mr, Phillips, eliciting further information from Mr. Lamb. The Assistant Secretary expressed the view that the efifect of the Court of Honor in front of the Reviewing Stand could not be considered as transient or evanescent. He said that the Triumphal Arch with the Court of Honor at Madison Square at the time of the Dewey Celebration was very permanent in its effect and, next to the presence of the hero of the day, it was the one feature of the Celebration most remembered. It was perpetuated in picture and in art exhibitions in this country and abroad and had left a permanent impression upon the art of the City. He thought that a beautiful Court of Honor in front of the official representatives of the Nations of the World in the approaching Celebration would produce an effect long to be remembered and of permanent value. After some further discussion, Mr. Phillips moved that the sum of $24,000 be appropriated to the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands. Carried. Great Demand for Banquet Seats. Mr. Stetson, Chairman of the Banquet Committee, reported that the acceptances for the banquet indicated a greater demand than the Committee could meet and he reiterated the necessity of restricting the subscriptions to one ticket each and prescribing that the ticket be not trans- ferrable. He recapitulated the arrangements for the speakers in accordance with plans previously outlined to the Board of Trustees. Decorations at the Banquet. Continuing, Mr. Stetson said he wished again to empha- size the desirability of extensive and characteristic decora- tions of the banquet hall. He did not wish the Executive Committee to think that the banquet would pay all of its expenses. He said he would not be surprised if there were August 4, 1909 1345 a deficit of $5,000, due in part to the decorations. The banquet was one of distinguished consequence and he thought that the decorations should be in keeping with it. He asked Mr. Charles R. Lamb to report on this phase of the subject. ]\Ir. Lamb said that he was gratified to find the remark- able way in which the architects had pushed forward their work of constructing the new banquet hall at the Hotel Astor. The character of the details was admirable. When finished, he believed that it would be the best thing of its kind in this country and he was doubtful if it could be duplicated abroad. He described the opportunities for decoration and said that he had worked out the details tentatively with JMr. Lmitt, the architect of the building. Lie said the colors of Holland would determine the color scheme of the banquet hall and the Committee were of the opinion that no individual society should be allowed to decorate its table or any portion of the hall independently of the general scheme. The building would provide facili- ties for a very ingenious combination of electrical illumination, water and flowers upon the tables producing a unique and beautiful harmony of color effect. Contract for Official Publications Modified. Li the absence abroad of Mr. Tunis G. Bergen, Chair- man of the Committee on Memorials, Mr. Frederick S. Lamb, Vice-Chairman, reported that the Commission had received a letter from the Redfield Brothers Inc. request- ing a modification of the contract with them, as follows : The small souvenir booklet to be devoted to illustrations of the Carnival Floats and to be known as the " Carnival Souvenir Booklet," to contain the same number of pages, slightly larger in size than previously arranged with some other slight changes, the royalty to be the same as before. They also asked permission to increase the number of sub- jects of post-cards from twenty-five to seventy-two. The Committee on Memorials recommended the approval of the changes. 134^ Minutes of Executive Committee It was voted that the changes in the contract with Redfield Brothers, recommended by the Committee on Memorials, be approved. Recognised in Official Program. Dr. Kunz moved that the Naval Reception proposed to be held at Columbia University on Saturday afternoon, Octo- ber 2nd, be given the sanction of this Commission and mentioned in the official program. He stated that it would be self-sustaining and would be no expense to the Commis- sion. The motion was carried. Mr. Phillips moved that the patriotic exercises to be held by the National Society of Patriotic Women of America and State Committee of Daughters of the American Revolution of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration in the Coun- cil Chamber and Governor's Room of the City Hall on Wednesday afternoon, September 29th, at 2.30 o'clock, be recognized in the official program. Carried. Dr. Kunz moved that the exhibition of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society be mentioned in the official program. Carried. (See page 1162.) Abominated for Appointment on Commission. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Committee on Nominations, presented a report recommending the following named gentlemen for appointment on the Commission : To be appointed by the Governor: Hon. William Pryor Letchworth of Portage, N. Y., donor of the Letchworth Park to the State of New York; Hon. Charles M. Dow of Jamestown, N. Y., President of the Niagara Falls Commis- sion and trustee of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society. To be appointed by the Mayor : Hon. John Temple Graves, Rhinelander Building, New York, N. Y., editor of the American ; Mr. John Ross Delafield of Riverdale, New York ; Mr. Elias M. Johnson of Spuyten Duyvil, N. Y. ; Mr. Joseph Keppler, Puck Building, New York, and Mr. Joseph L. Delafield of No. 35 Nassau street, New York. The report was received and the recommendations adopted. August 4, 1909 1347 Couiinittcc on Legislative Entertainment. Mr. Fitch, at the suggestion of the Hon. Jotham P. Allds, State Senator, moved that Mr. Stetson and Mr. Ridder be appointed a Committee on Legislative Eentertainment to co-operate with the representatives of the Legislature in the arrangements for their participation in the Celebration. Carried. $12,150 Appropriated for Public Health and Convenience. Mr. Lefler, in behalf of the Committee on Public Health and Convenience, reported that the Committee had been in conference with the Board of Health of the City and the Board of Health had decided that with its ordinary re- sources it could not undertake the establishment of public comfort stations or medical emergency stations along the line of march. It therefore appeared to be necessary for this Commission to assume the responsibility and expense of making provision for the public accommodation in these respects. The Committee had availed itself of the co- operation of the Red Cross Society and of the National Volunteer Emergency Service which would reduce the amount required, but, according to the estimate of the Com- mittee, they needed a total appropriation of about $22,000, including the $4,000 already appropriated. Mr. Ridder suggested certain economies in the itemized budget submitted by the Committee. As the result of a very general discussion of the subject it was voted that the sum of $2,150, in addition to the $4,000 appropriated April 28 (page 1017) be appropriated for the following purposes : Medical emergency stations $1,000 Ambulance stations 1.250 Physicians' stations 660 Information bureau attendants 1,200 Secretary of Committee 880 Assistant Secretary to the Committee 660 Office rent and incidentals 500 $6,150 134S Minutes of Executive Committee Dr. Lucas was accorded the courtesy of the floor to ex- plain the plan for the erection of twenty comfort stations — ten along the line of march at intervals of ten blocks and ten upon Riverside Drive — at a cost of $300 each, or a total of $6,000; also the need of day and night attendance by physicians, nurses, pharmacists, etc., involving an ex- pense of about $3,486. It was voted that the sum of $ro,ooo be appropriated to cover the items mentioned by Dr. Lucas. In the course of the general discussion a motion was made to appropriate $1,000 for day nurseries for the care of children for poor people but the motion was lost. Money Appropriated for Printing for Public Health and Convenience. It was voted that the printing of the information book- lets, posters, and placards, required by the Committee on Public Health and Convenience, be done under the direc- tion of the Executive Ofificers of the Commission and that the amount necessary be appropriated. Celebration on Staten Island Before September 2^th Disapproved. The Secretary read a communication from Captain Jacob W. Miller, Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee, re- porting that at a meeting of that Committee held on Tues- day, July 27th. the following resolution was adoped apropos of the suggestion that the festivities on Staten Island begin on September 24th : Resolved, That it is the sense of this Naval Parade Com- mittee that as far as the Committee is concerned it is ad- verse to having any celebration, either fireworks or other- wise, prior to the commencement of the Celebration on September 25th. The Secretary moved that the recommendation of the Naval Parade Committee be adopted. Carried. Upper-Hudson Arrangements Progressing Satisfactorily. Col. IMacArthur. Chairman of tlie Upper-Hudson Com- mittee, reported that a meeting of that Committee was held August 4, 1909 1349 at Catskill on Saturday and that the minutes of the meet- ing would be forwarded in due course to the Secretary of the Commission. He reported that everything w'as prog- ressing satisfactorily. (See pages 1331-1338) Loivcr-Hndson Couimittec Asks for Additional Appropriation. Mayor Warren of Yonkers, Chairman of the Lower- Hudson Committee, asked for an appropriation of $10,000 in addition to the $25,000 already appropriated for the Lower Hudson. He said that his Committee had been very modest in asking for money. It had a large area to cover including three cities with a population of over 150,000 and several large villages, and with the appropriation thus far made was unable to meet the demands made upon it. He therefore moved that $10,000 be appropriated to the Lower- Hudson Committee. The Secretary said he thought that Col. MacArthur, Chairman of the Upper-Hudson Committee, would say that the $25,000 appropriated for the Lower-Hudson Committee was larger in proportion than any corresponding appropria- tion for the Upper Hudson. Col. MacArthur confirmed the Secretary's statement. Mr. Fitch said he understood that at a former meeting $2,500 had been appropriated for Cornwall, and he argued that if Cornwall was entitled to that amount, the Lower- Hudson Committee should have larger consideration. All the villages were making demands for money, and he thought they w-ere reasonable. Mr. Ridder said that $2,500 had been appropriated for Cornwall and $1,000 for Stony Point because the Lower- Hudson Committee would make no provision for them ; that the appropriation to Cornwall was not based on popu- lation but upon the fact that it was on Newburgh Bay near Newburgh and subject to exceptional expenses in conse- quence. He thought the Commission should not spend all its money, but try to save something for a permanent memorial. 1350 Minutes of Executive Committee Mr. Leonard, IMr. Stetson and others joined in the dis- cussion. Mr. Pugsley advised postponing the subject until further effort could be made to increase the local subscriptions. On motion of Dr. Kunz, the motion to appropriate was laid on the table. Dedications Committtee to Co-ordinate Dedications. Judge Higley, Chairman of the Committee on Dedica- tions, said that he understood that there had been a goodly number of applications for the countenance of the Com- mission in the dedication of various tablets and monuments, and that the applications had been acted upon by the Executive Committee. He suggested the advisability of referring such applications to the Committee on Dedica- tions for the purpose of examination with a view to sug- gesting modifications of the plans of ceremonies if neces- sary. He therefore moved that the Secretary be requested to furnish to the Dedications Committee a list of all dedications thus far approved by the Commission and that in the future all like applications be referred to that Com- mittee. Carried. The Secretary subsequently furnished to the Committee on Dedications the following list of ceremonies upon which the Commission had taken action : 1. Dedication of the Palisades Interstate Park, by the Commissioners of the Palisades Interstate Park, Monday, September 2y (page 1162). 2. Dedication of the Henry Hudson ^Monument on Spuyten Duyvil Hill, erected by private subscription, Wednesday, September 29 (page 967). 3. Dedication of Fort Tryon Tablet by the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, Wednesday, September 29 (page 1161). 4. Dedication of Tablet on United States Custom House by the New York Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, Wednesday, September 29 (page 1162). 5. Dedication of the Bust of Verazzano by the Italian Societies of New York, Wednesdav, September 29 (page 1161). August 4, 1909 1351 6. Dedication of Memorial Arch on Stony Point Battle- field by the New York State Society of the Daughters of the Revolution, Saturday, October 2, in connection with the Commission's ceremonies at Stony Point (page 1162). Uiiaiithoriccd Solicitation of Funds. ]\Ir. Ridder reported that his attention had been called to a circular soliciting funds for a " Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Benefit for the Orphan Children of the City of New York," concluding as follows : " The Committee will be pleased to receive your contribution which can be sent to the undersigned who will act as Manager and Treasurer. Yours truly, Alfred Fatman." Mr. Fatman, he learned, had a little office at No. 150 Broadway, and had several men out soliciting subscriptions on commission. The circu- lar which he issued as both Manager and Treasurer men- tioned the names of several members of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission and used the words " Hudson- Fulton Celebration " in such a way as might easily lead people to believe that his project had the official counte- nance of this Commission. Mr. Ridder, therefore, moved that the Secretary be authorized to put an advertisement in the newspapers, notifying the public that Mr. Fatman's enterprise has not the approval of the Commission. Carried. (See page 1364) Mr. J. H. Callanan Not Dead. Col. MacArthur requested the correction of page 1094 of the minutes containing the announcement of the death of Mr. J. H. Callanan of Schenectady on May 12, stating that the victim of the unfortunate accident therein reported was not the member of his Commission but his brother. The Secretary was requested to correct the minutes and restore Mr. Callanan's name to the roll. i Weekly Meetings Until the Celebration. jVIr. Stetson moved that from this time forward until the Celebration, the Executive Committee meet every Wednes- day at 2 p. M., except when meetings of the Trustees or Commission are held at that time. Carried. 1352 Minutes of Executive Committee Mr. Stetson also moved that the President be requested to call a meeting of the Trustees for Wednesday, August 18, at 2 P. M. Carried. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary.

Replies from Foreign Governments. The Secretary read a cablegram from the Hon. Lewis Einstein, Charge d' Affaires of the American Embassy at Constantinople, stating that the Ottoman Government deeply regrets having no warships available for the ap- proaching Celebration, but will be represented, however, by a special delegate. Also a letter from the Hon. Charles Page Bryan, Ameri- can Envoy to the Government of Portugal, stating that the Minister for Foreign Affairs had expressed the great desire of that Government to have proper representation at the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, but that the Navy had no ships in the Atlantic which could be spared and there would be no time for those in the Pacific to reach New York by September. The Government of Portugal, however, hoped to send some high official of the Navy to express Portugal's interest in the Celebration. August II, 1909 1355 Appointed by the Mayor. The Secretary read letters from the Secretary of His Honor, the Mayor of the City of New York, communicat- ing the following appointments of members of this Com- mission : August 3. Upon the Mayor's motion, Mr. William Gib- son of 411 East 140th street, New York. August 4: Upon recommendation of the Trustees (see page 1310) Messrs. Daniel G. Boissevain, Alexander E.

The Secretary reported that on August 6th His Honor, the Mayor, appointed a Citizens' Committee of the Borough of Queens, consisting of 160 prominent citizens, whose names are appended to these minutes. (This Committee met on Wednesday evening. August 11, at the rooms of the Business Men's Association, No. 52 Jackson avenue, Long Island City, and organized by the election of Mr. Louis Windmuller as Chairman, and Mr. John M. Cragen as Secretary.) $2,500 Appropriated to Bronx Coin>nitfee. Mr. Ridder moved that the sum of $2,500 be appropri- ated to the Bronx Committee for the erection of a review- ing stand to seat about 3,000 persons. Carried. Recognised in Official Program. Dr. Kunz moved that the Hudson-Fulton Exhibition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the build- ing of the Engineering Societies, No. 29 West 39th street, be mentioned in the official program. He said that this 1356 Minutes of Executive Committee exhibition would include a painting of Robert Fulton by himself, an original drawing of the " Clermont " by Robert Fulton, signed by him March i, 181 3, a mahogany table which formerly belonged to Fulton, and other objects cf historical and scientific value. The motion was carried. Mr. C. D. Piigsley's Voluntary Service Accepted. The Secretary reported that he had received the very generous ofifer of Mr. Chester DeWitt Pugsley to aid the Secretary without compensation and that he had availed himself of this kind ofifer. He said that Mr. Pugsley is the son of ex-Congressman Pugsley and a Harvard graduate, and had already begun his helpful service. He moved that the thanks of the Executive Committee be extended to Mr. Pugsley for his practical co-operation. Carried. Additional Secretarial Assistant Authorized. Mr. Ridder moved that the Secretary be authorized to engage another competent assistant. He said that the Assistant Secretary was overworked already and that the increasing demands of the next six weeks made the engage- ment of further assistance imperative. The Secretary spoke in an appreciative manner of the work of the Assistant Secretary and confirmed Mr. Rid- der's statement of the necessity of making further pro- vision to meet the demands upon the Secretary's office. The motion was carried. Notninated for Appointment on Commission. Mr. Fitch presented the report of the Nominating Com- mittee recommending the appointment of the following- named gentlemen as members of the Commission : To be appointed by the Governor : Mr. Richard S. Barrett of Catskill and Mr. John T. Terry of Tarrytown. To be appointed by the Mayor : Hon. George H. Rowe formerly President of the New York Press Association, and Colonel Alfred Wagstafif, clerk of the Appellate Di- vision of the Supreme Court, First Department. The report was received and the recommendations ap- proved. 4 August II, 1909 1357 Resignation of Mr. Racgcncr as a Trustee. Mr. Ridder presented the resignation of Mr. Louis C. Raegener as a Trustee, stating that Mr. Raegener was abroad and unable to perform his duties as a member of the Board and desired to make room for the election of a trustee in his place, who could be of active service to the Commission. The resignation was accepted with an ex- pression of the Executive Committee's appreciation of Mr. Raegener's valuable services while a member of the Board. Reception Committee Matters. Dr. Low reported informally upon several matters relat- ing to the reception of the guests of the Commission, and stated that at the next meeting it would probably be neces- sary for the Reception Committee to ask for an appropria- tion. He made some inquiries about badges for members of the Committee and for guests and was given the desired information by Mr. Jaccaci. Dr. Low also reported that through the courtesy of Mr. Muschenheim the Reception Committee had been given ac- commodations at the Hotel Astor without charge. Dr. Low said that he had told Mr. Muschenheim that he thought this was more than the latter's share and that these accommodations should be paid for, but Mr. Muschenheim said he preferred to provide these apartments without ex- pense to the Commission. Dr. Low therefore moved that the thanks of the Commission be extended to Mr. Muschen- heim. The motion was carried. General Woodford, rising, said that the Commission thanked Mr. Muschenheim very heartily for his generosity. Not a Proper Charge Against Aquatic Sports. Captain Fry, Chairman of the Aquatic Sports Committee, reported that Yonkers asked for $3,645 for the building of floats, bridges, gang-ways, etc., in connection with aquatic sports opposite that city and asked if the Executive Com- mittee intended to make a further appropriation for that purpose. Such an expense was not contemplated in the 1358 Minutes of Executive Committee original estimate of the Aquatic Sports Committee, and he would like the Executive Committee to express its opinion as to the propriety of such an expenditure out of its funds. Mr. Ridder said that the expenses suggested should come out of the general appropriation of $25,000 for the Lower- Hudson Committee. Mr. Fitch said that the $25,000 had already been appor- tioned among various communities and there was nothing left for aquatic sports. The $25,000 was insufficient, and, in fact, they needed $10,000 more, and if the charge for aquatic sports were saddled upon Yonkers, it would work havoc with the apportionment already made. Captain Miller said that he had received many requests of a similar nature from other yacht clubs and had stead- fastly refused anything for bettering their club-houses. He thought that local pride should be sufficient to meet the requirements. Captain Fry said that in line with the Yonkers request was the request of certain club-houses in New York to have electric wires for illuminating purposes extended to their club-houses at the expense of the Commission, and he thought it was unnecessary. General Woodford said that the Commission had care- fully apportioned its funds for various purposes according to its best judgment and that now repeated requests were coming in for additional appropriations. He advised the Executive Committee to set its face against these increasing demands. Mr. Stetson moved it to be the sense of the meeting that the extension of floats or equipments of yacht clubs or the illumination of their boat-houses were not proper charges against the appropriation for Aquatic Sports. Carried. $1,000 Additional Appropriated for Aquatic Sports. Mr. Ridder moved that $1,000 in addition to the $10,000 appropriated July 28th (making a total of $11,000) be ap- propriated to the Aquatic Sports Committee. Carried. August II, 1909 1359 Small Badge for Participants in Childrcns' Festivals. Mr. Parsons said that the arrangements for the Chil- dren's Festivals were progressing actively and satisfac- torily. He asked the advice of the Commission as to the propriety of giving to the participants in the festivals a small medal or badge as a souvenir. These, he believed, could be furnished in large numbers at a cost of not over three cents apiece, and he would be willing to pay for them out of the appropriation made to the Children's Festivals Committee. The suggestion seemed to meet with favor and Mr. Par- sons was asked to confer with Mr. Jaccaci upon the subject. $1,000 Appropriated for Music in Brooklyn. Mr. Ridder moved that $1,000 be appropriated to the Brooklyn Committee for music on Saturday, September 25th. Carried. $300 Appropriated for Music at Official Landing. Mr. Ridder moved that a sum not to exceed $300 be ap- propriated for a band of music at the official landing at lioth street on the evening of Saturday, September 25th. Carried. Committee Appointments. The Chairman announced the appointment of Mr. How- land Shippen Davis upon the Reception Committee and Mr. Ogden Livingston Mills upon the Banquet Committee, at the request of the Chairmen of those Committees respectively. i Question of Wider Publicity Referred to Secretary, with Power. The Secretary called attention to the fact that notwith- standing the wide publicity given to the preparations for the Celebration, the people at large did not seem to understand its general character or to know definitely when it was to occur. Their ideas were so indefinite that they were not able to arrange their affairs by the schedule of events. The 1360 Minutes of Executive Committee question arose in his mind as to what was the best way to make the public more generally aware of the Commission's program. One idea was to print in the daily newspapers once, or weekly from now until the Celebration, as an advertise- ment if necessary, an announcement of the program and dates. He said that this Celebration was unlike a world's fair, of which advertisements were spread abroad every- where. Perhaps there might be some better way than that which he had suggested, but he believed that something ought to be done to give wider publicity to the plans of the Commission. Captain Fry suggested that the use of some dignified posters would be a good idea. Dr. Low re-enforced the Secretary's suggestion as to the advisability of more widely extending the knowledge of the Celebration. He said that many people had asked how to get seats, and he was unable to answer them. Colonel Ogden asked why it would not be a good idea to have 2,000,000 leaflets or folders printed. Dr. Kunz suggested using the subway bill boards. Mr. Ridder said he thought well of the Secretary's sug- gestion. Mr. Stetson said that whatever the cost might be, it would be well invested. He favored all three of the methods suggested. He thought that we should take ample means to advertise once a week in the newspapers, to use posters freely, and also to print the two million leaflets. He was not at all doubtful as to the ability of the Commission to meet these expenses. Captain Miller emphasized the need of a more general public knowledge. He said that the Naval Parade Com- mittee could have all its printing done for nothing if it were allowed to use advertisements in connection with it. Dr. Low moved that the question be referred to the Sec- retary, with power. Carried. Mr. Ridder moved that the Chairmen of all Committees be requesfed to furnish the Secretary with the details of their arrangements as soon as possible. August II, 1909 1361 No Further A Impropriation for Stony Point. Air. Peck, Chairman of the Stony i'oint Committee, asked the Execntive Committee for some appropriation in addition to the $1,000 already appropriated for Stony Point. He said that at the dedication of the Reservation in 1902 the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society spent $5,000, and that on the a])proaching occasion, which would really be more elaborate, the Committee had only $1,000 for the entertainment of the Governor and guests and the provision of shelter and music. He said he felt a sense of mortification at being obliged to entertain the Gov- ernor and the many people who would be there with only $1,000 at his command. A general discussion, participated in by Air. Ridder, Air. Stetson, Dr. Kunz, Air. Hall, and Air. Sackett, ensued. Air. Ridder said that the Commission expected to spend not only the $1,000 referred to by Air. Peck, but also what- ever was necessary for the transportation of troops to Stony Point. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Secretary moved that it was the sense of the Executive Committee that no appropriation other than those mentioned by Air. Ridder, be made to the Stony Point Committee. Carried. Hollanders Invited to Compete in Aqnatie Sports. Captain Fry reported that an invitation had been sent to all the Dutch rowing and sailing clubs to participate in the Aquatic Sports, and it was hoped that the invitation would be accepted. Coniuiemorative Postage Stamp. Dr. Kunz reported that Congressman Bennett, with the co-operation of Congressmen Parsons and Olcott, Iiad rep- resented to the Postmaster-General the desirability of issu- ing a commemorative postage stamp, and that the Post- master-General had tentatively given his approval. Dr. Kunz said that in view of the unsuccessful efforts hitherto made in this direction, it should be a matter of gratification 1362 Minutes of Executive Committee to the Commission that Congressman Bennett and his col- leagues had secured this favorable action, and he moved that a vote of thanks be extended to them. Carried. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretarv. 1363 (Qurfufi (Eiltsnis* (Eommittfr Appointed by the Mayor of New York August 6, IQC).

The minutes of the Executive meeting of July 21, Trustees' meeting July 28, Executive Committee August 4, and the Executive Committee August 11, having been printed and sent to all the members, were approved subject to the following correction : Insert on page 1339, among the chairmen and members of committees present, the name of Dr. George Clinton Batcheller. Executive Committee Proceedings Ratified. The proceedings of the Executive Committee at its meet- ings held on July 21, August 4 and August 11 were ratified and confirmed. State and Navy Departments Requested to Designate Rep- resentatives to Assist Commission. Mr. Choate, Chairman of the Invitations Committee, said that he had received a communication from the Plon. William Phillips, Third Assistant Secretary of State, which he had deemed so important that he had come from his summer residence in Stockbridge, Mass., to this meeting to present it in person to the Trustees. The letter called at- tention to the fact that nearly all of the Embassies and Legations in Washington had accepted the invitation of this Commission to attend the Hudson-Fulton Celebration and that many of the foreign governments would also send ships and official delegates. In view of the fact that the Commission's invitations were originally transmitted to the foreign governments and their diplomatic representatives September i, 1909 1439 in this country through the medium of the Stale Depart- ment, Mr. PhiUips intimated that the government of the United States necessarily felt a certain degree of responsi- bility for their reception. He therefore made a suggestion to Mr. Choate which, the latter said, seemed to be what this Commission would have desired under the circumstances and he would embody it in a resolution which he proposed to ofifer. He said that whenever representatives of forty or more governments came together various points of etiquette and precedence would arise which could be settled au- thoritatively only by the government, and he was much pleased to find that the government had intimated its willingness to lend the aid of its counsel in settling the many questions which would arise in connection with the entertainment of our foreign guests. He therefore offered the following resolution : Resolved, That the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commis- sion very respectfully requests the Secretary of State of the United States and the Secretary of the Navy each to name a representative to assist the Commission in the reception of foreign guests ; that these two government representa- tives, when designated, be appointed upon the Reception Committee and such other committees as have to do with the reception and entertainment of foreign guests; and that questions of procedure in regard to foreign guests be sub- mitted to the representatives of the State Department and the Navy Department for approval. Resolved, That the Secretary of the Commission be re- quested immediately to communicate this action to the Sec- retary of State and the Secretary of the Navy respectively and to ask them, if entirely agreeable to them and com- patible with public interests, to name representatives in ac- cordance with the terms of the foregoing resolution and advise this Commission of their names. Mr. Seward heartily seconded the resolutions. He said that this action exactly fitted the case and that in pursuance of it the government could take charge of many delicate matters which otherw-ise would be very perplexing. A brief general discussion ensued, in the course of which it was suggested that the representatives of the State and Navy Departments could be recommended for appointment 1440 Minutes of Trustees upon the Commission after they had been named. Mr. Choate said that he would embody that suggestion in his motion. As so amended, the resokitions were unanimously carried. To he Invited as Guests of the Commission. Doctor Low, Chairman of the Reception Committee, re- ported that at the meeting of that Committee held on Tues- day, August 31, which was very largely attended, he was asked to present certain resolutions for adoption by the Trustees. He therefore offered the following resolutions: Resolved, That the members of the Vermont-Lake Cham- plain Tercentenary Commission be sent invitations as guests of the Commission. Resolved, That Commandant Worth G. Ross, U. S. R. C. S., be sent an invitation as a guest of the Commission. Resolved, That Major-General Leonard Wood, U. S. A., commanding the Department of the East ; Colonel Hugh L. Scott, U. S. A., Superintendent of the United States Mili- tary Academy, and Captain J. B. Murdock, U. S. N., com- mandant of New York Navy Yard, be invited to be the guests of the Commission. The resolutions were adopted. Following an inquiry by Doctor Low and a suggestion by Captain Fry, Mr. Beck moved that Surgeon-General Walter Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service, also be invited to be an official guest of the Commission. Carried. Captain Miller moved that Hon. Truman H. Newberry, ex-Assistant Secretary of the Navy, also be invited. Seconded by Dr. Low and carried. Presentation of Medals and Badges Authorised. Doctor Low, in behalf of the Reception Committee, also presented the following resolutions : Resolved, That badges be presented by the Commission to all of its guests, and that the Committee on Badges be authorized to furnish such badges on requisition of the Chairman of the Reception Committee, said badges to be distributed by the Reception Committee. September i, 1909 1441 Resolved, That a gold medal be presented, through the Department of State, not only to the countries sending warships to the Celebration, but also to all countries repre- sented at the Celebration by a special delegate. Resolved, That silver medals be presented to the invited guests of the Commission who may be present at the Cele- bration and who are included in the followine" schedule : 1. The Governor and other State ofihcials. 2. The Mayor, the City Comptroller, and President of the Board of Aldermen. 3. The Borough Presidents of the City of New York. 4. The Vice-President of the United States. 5. The Speaker of the House of Representatives. 6. The members of the President's cabinet. 7. The Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. 8. The members of the Lake Champlain Tercentenary Commission of the State of New York and of the State of Vermont. 9. The Governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 10. The individual guests. 11. Official delegates of foreign nations. 12. Ambassadors and Ministers of foreign nations. 13. Foreign Consuls. 14. Netherlanders. Resolved, That the Committee on Medals be authorized to honor the requisition of the Chairman of the Reception Committee for this purpose, and that these medals be pre- sented though the Reception Committee. Resolved, That the Committee on Medals be authorized to honor the reouisition of the Chairman of the Reception Committee for suitable badges and medals for the aides of the Committee, said badges and medals to be furnished at the expense of the Commission. Resolved, That the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Medal Committee and the Chairman of the Reception Com- mittee he Cf'-nstituted a Special Committee, with power to determine upon the assignment and distribution of any medals not covered by the foregoing resolutions ; and that the Chairmp'T of t^^e Reception Committee have authority to indicate the sfiiests who should receive medals under the foregoing resolutions. Before the motion upon the adoption of the resolutions was put there was a brief discussion as to the funds avail- able for the purposes of the resolutions, and the motion 1442 Minutes of Trustees for the adaption of the resolutions was put with the under- standing that the expense of the presentation of the medals would come within the appropriation already made for the presentation of medals. With that understanding the reso- lutions were adopted. Bills Approved for Payment. The following bills were approved for payment subject to examination and approval by the Auditing Committee : Payable out of State Fund: American Ice Co., on account of floats $12 56 H. B.

The Secretary read communications from the Mayor as follows : August 27, 1909, appointing ujxDn his own motion as a member of the Commission, Mr. George W. Pople, No. 61 Broadway, Flushing, N. Y. August 30, 1909, appointing upon his own motion as members of the Commission, Edward N. Tailer, No. 11 Washington Square, New York, N. Y. ; Mr. Robert R. Livingston, No. 11 Washington Square, New York, N. Y., and Mr. R. W. Rives, New Hamburg, N. Y. The Secretary was directed to add their names to the roll of the Commission. Appointment Declined. The Secretary read a letter dated Canastota, N. Y., August 24, from Mr. John Duignan declining his appoint- ment as a member of the Commission. The letter was re- ceived and ordered on file. Civil Service Resolution. The Secretary read a letter from the State Civil Service Commission, dated August 27, 1909, communicating the following resolution adopted by that Commission on August 26: Resolved, That Miss M. C. Willoughby, to be employed by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission as stenog- rapher to the Lower Hudson Committee in Yonkers, be and hereby is excepted from examination under the pro- visions of Civil Service Rule VHI, subdivision 9, it appear- ing that Miss Willoughby is a person engaged in private business and that the services to be rendered are technical and expert and of an occasional and exceptional character; provided, however, that her term of employment shall not exceed three months from August i, 1909, with compensa- tion at the rate of $75 per month. Unauthorised Publications and Insignia Disapproved. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a clipping from the Albany Argus of August 25, entitled " Official Pro- grams of Hudson Celebration." This article, after making certain announcements concerning the official publications. 1444 Minutes of Trustees medals and badges issued by this Commission, continued as follows concerning similar publications, badges and medals proposed to be issued by the Albany Committee : " The Albany Committee ..will issue a handsome official souvenir program which will contain pictures of the floats and members of the several committees and matter describ- ing in detail the Celebration at this point. This program will contain no advertising. The Committee will also issue a souvenir medal. This medal will probably be made in several sizes and styles and sold at prices ranging from two dollars to twenty-five cents. The official badge of the Albany Committee will not be on sale and will be furnished only to members of the local committee. A souvenir postal card will also be issued under the direction of the Albany Committee, which postal card will be on sale at the news stands, or can be obtained from W. B. Jones, Chairman of the Publicity Committee, at 95 State street. All other pub- lications, medals, badges or post cards are issued without the approval of the Executive Committee at Albany, and consequently are not official." The Secretary submitted the question whether the Trustees should not take some action upon this subject. He recalled the fact that this Commission had executed a contract with the Redfield Bros., Inc., of New York city, giving them sole authority to publish the official program and official souvenir post cards. He also called attention to the fact that the Commission had determined what the form of the official badge of every committee should be. Also the fact that it had executed a contract with White- head and Hoag Company giving them the exclusive privi- lege of manufacturing for sale copies of the official medal; he therefore placed these facts before the Trustees for such action as they might determine. Mr. Jaccaci said that he thought the newspaper article quoted referred to the action of the local Citizens' Com- mittee and not a committee of this Commission. The Secretary replied that the action was that of the Albany Committee of this Commission. Mr. Phillips said that he thought it was pretty clear that if the local committees were arms of this Commission they were not authorized to issue badges, official programs, etc. September i, 1909 1441^ He thought that the proper course was to advise the local committee at Albany that the contractual engagements of the Commission were such that it could not approve of the action of the local committee in these respects. Mayor McClung, of Newburgh, said that he presumed the Albany Committee was doing the same as the New- burgh Committee, and if so, its action would not conflict with the arrangements already made by the Commission itself. He said that in Newburgh they were preparing to have cer- tain local badges and programs to be paid for out of local funds and that they would not ask the Commission to pay for them. He said that these local provisions were " ofificial " in a local sense only and were not official in the sense that they were the acts of the Commission or were chargeable against the Commission. Mr. Phillips moved that the Secretary be instructed to write to the Albany Committee explaining the status of the Commission's contracts and resolutions concerning publica- tions, badges and medals, and to request the Albany Com- mittee not to do anything in contravention thereof. Carried. $2,000 Appropriated to Brooklyn Committee for Lighting. Colonel Ogden, Chairman of the Brooklyn Committee, called attention to the program for Saturday evening, Sep- tember 25, which provided that the Naval Pageant should pass in sight of spectators upon the Shore road at Bay Ridge. This road, he said, was inadequately illuminated by a few gas lights, and unless properly lighted it would be a paradise for hoodlums on the night in question. This road, he said, could be sufficiently lighted at a cost of from $1,000 to $2,000, and he requested an appropriation therefor. The President, in the interests of economy, suggested that Colonel Ogden come to the next meeting with a definite plan so that the Trustees could vote intelligently. Colonel Ogden said, however, it was necessary to begin preparations immediately in order to have the arrangements completed in time for the Celebration. 1446 Minutes of Trustees Mr. Ridder moved an appropriation of $2,000 for the purpose of lighting the Shore road at Bay Ridge. The motion was carried, the President, ]\Ir. PhilHps and one or two others desiring to be recorded in the negative. Colonel Ogden said that if there was not money for this purpose the Commission would not be asked to pay, where- upon the dissenting votes were withdrawn and the motion was carried unanimously. Erection of Flag Pole at Headquarters. The Secretary reported that application had been made to the owners of the Tribune Building for permission to erect a flag pole outside of one of the windows of the Com- mission's headquarters for the purpose of displaying the Commission's official flag, and that consent had been given upon condition that the Commission would hold the owners of the building harmless by reason of any accidental damaee that might result from such erection. He therefore moved that the Secretary be authorized to communicate with the Tribune Association declaring that this Commission would hold that association harmless in the event of any damage consequent upon the erection of the flag pole. Carried. Taking Guests Oirr Route of Parades. The Secretary read a letter from Mr. A. H. Stoddard embodying a suggestion made by Doctor Kunz, to the effect that the official guests of the Commission and the Board of Trustees be taken in automobiles over the route of the parades immediately before the parades, in order that the guests might see the decorations and the crowds, and in order that the people might see the distinguished guests. Dr. Kunz explained that in nearly all of the coronation volumes of the i6th, 17th and i8th centuries the pageants were preserved as important features. He thought that if the official guests of the Commission could see the masses of the American people along the line of march they would be deeply impressed thereby. The President suggested that the same result would be attained if the Chairman of the Reception Committee September i, 1909 1447 escorted the official guests over the Hue of march unac- companied by the whole Board of Trustees. After a brief discussion, participated in by Dr. Low and Air. Ridder, it w-as voted that the suggestion be referred with power to the Chairman of the Carnival and Historical Parades Committee, the Chairman of the Military Parade Committee and the Chairman of the Reception Committee. In connection with the parades. Dr. Low said that he understood it to be the function of the Reception Com- mittee to see that the guests reached the reviewing stands and not to assign them to seats, and he inquired upon whom the latter duty devolved. Mr. Ridder said that the seating would be attended to by the executive officers in consultation with the Chairman of the committees in charg"e as decided upon at the previous meeting of the Board. Dr. Low suggested that instead of issuing tickets to the official guests for the different functions, the guests be ad- mitted to all the stands upon presentation of their identi- fication cards, which would be issued to them by the Recep- tion Committee. Ordinarily, he said, the guests would be escorted to their places by the aides of his Committee, but occasionally a guest might go independently and he thought it would be simpler to have the guests admitted to the stands upon presentation of their identification cards. ]\Ir. Ridder, speaking generally of the issuing of tickets to the stands, advised against issuing them until a few days before the Celebration in order to prevent counterfeiting. After some further discussion the subject was informally dropped. Mr. Olcott Authorized to Document the Cleniwiit. The Secretary stated that the manager of the Staten Island Shipbuilding Company, which is building the fac- simile of the Clermont, desired a certificate as to the incor- poration of this Commission and a formal resolution of the Commission authorizing some person to appear at the Cus- tom House with power to sign for the Commission in the 1448 Minutes of Trustees documenting of the Clermont. He therefore ofTered the following resolution : Resolved, That Mr. Eben E. Olcott, Chairman of the Clermont Committee, be and he hereby is authorized to ap- pear at the United States Custom House with power to sign in behalf of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commis- sion in the documenting of the steamboat which has been constructed as a facsimile of the steamboat. Clermont, iii which Robert Fulton successfully inaugurated steam navi- gation upon the Hudson river in 1807. Adopted. $6,000 Appropriated to the Clermont Committee. Mr. Olcott reported that the construction of the Clermont was proceeding satisfactorily and that the Commission was greatly indebted to Mr. Frank E. Kirby for his co-operation in the matter. He said that while funds for the construc- tion of the Clermont had been provided in the appropria- tions made to the Naval Parade Committee, no appropria- tion had been made to the Clermont Committee for the ex- penses which would be involved in caring for the Clermont during the Celebration and taking it up the river. For this purpose the Committee needed $6,000. Mr. Ridder, Chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, moved that the sum of $6,000 be appropriated to the Clermont Committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stetson. The President called attention to the fact that this ex- penditure was not contemplated in the estimates heretofore submitted to the Trustees and that the estimated expendi- tures and actual resources were so nearly the same figure that he felt constrained to advise against the granting of the appropriation. The subject was discussed by Captain Miller, Captain Fry and Mr. Ridder. Captain Fry thought it would defeat an important feature of the Celebration not to make provision for taking the Clermont to the head of navigation. September i, 1909 1449 Mr. Riddcr thought that the appropriation should be made and had no doubt but that the money would be forth- coming, but he did not wish to be put in the position of as- suming sole responsibility for the finances of the Commis- sion and he desired every trustee to vote according to his own judgment. The motion was carried unanimously. Later in the meeting the President said that at the prac- tical request of the Commission he had undertaken a double duty as presiding officer and floor manager in the matter of retrenchment. He saw, however, the impossibility of exer- cising this double function. He desired, therefore, to an- xiounce that while in the Chair he would not hereafter men- tion the subject of finances so that the Chair would not collide with the Board. Appropriation for Ambulance Launches Rescinded. Captain Miller said that he thought there were some ways in which the expenses of the Commission could be cut down. He had been in correspondence with Dr. Porter, Chairman of the Committee on Public Health and Convenience, and others, and he did not think it was necessary for Dr. Porter's Committee to spend anything for protection on the water, as adequate provision would be made in other ways. Mr. Ridder moved that the appropriations heretofore made to the Committee on Public Health and Convenience be reduced $1,200, the amount included in that Committee's estimate for ambulance launches. Carried. Aero nan tic A rrangements. Mr. Beck, Chairman of the Committee on Aeronautics, reported that Wilbur Wright had definitely signed a con- tract to fly for the Commission. In this contract Wright agreed that if he did not remain in the air at least an hour or did not fly at least ten miles he was to receive nothing but his expenses. Mr. Beck also considered the Commis- sion fortunate in making a contract for the presence of Glenn H. Curtis. 1450 Minutes of Trustees For the purposes of the aeronautic demonstrations, the Committee, by the kind consent of Major-General Wood, had secured the use of the extension of Governor's Island. He moved that General Wood be added to the Committee on Aeronautics. The motion was carried. Rigging the Half Moon. The Secretary reported that Mr. E. J. Benthem, engineer of the Royal Netherlands Navy, under whose supervision the Half Moon had been built, arrived in New York on August 30 and had made a call of compliment upon the President of the Commission at headquarters on August 31. Mr. Benthem stated that he had come to superintend the rigging of the Half Moon and that the little ship would soon be put in a state of preparation for the Celebration. Naval Parade Matters. Captain Miller stated that the arrangements for the naval parade were nearly completed. He said that he had asked Mr. Henry F. Hornbostel, the architect, to prepare a design for the official landing at Riverside Park, opposite iioth street, and that Mr. Hornbostel was present prepared to exhibit his plan. He therefore asked the courtesy of the floor for Mr. Hornbostel. Mr. Hornbostel was invited to explain his plan, which showed two pylons about seventy-five feet high on the shore of the river with landing stage and with bridge leading over the railroad tracks. He explained various features of the design and answered several questions in regard to it. Capt. Miller said that there had been some misunderstand- ing with the Upper Hudson Committee as to the limits of the jurisdiction of the Naval Parade Committee and he de- sired to make it clear that the duties of his Committee ended upon the arrival of the Naval Parade at Newburgh and that it had no jurisdiction over the policing of Newburgh Bay. September i, 1909 145 1 Admiral Seym our Coming. The Secretary reported that the Commission had been advised by the Secretary of State that the P>ritish Squadron would be commanded by Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Edward Seymour. Apropos of this information the Secretary read the following extract from an editorial in the London Times of August 30: " We announce the appointment of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward Seymour to command the British squadron which will attend the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York. No choice could more fittingly convey our sense both of the importance of the occasion to the people of the United States and the special interest which it will have for their kindred in this quarter of the world. " Sir Edward Seymour is one of the most distinguished of British Admirals. He commanded the British naval brigade during the Boxer rising, in the suppression of which an American contingent took part. " Instances are rare indeed when the flag of an officer of the rank of Admiral of the Fleet has been flown at sea, and that circumstance, coupled with the fact that the Admiral who will fly it on the Inflexible was one of the two naval recipients of the Order of Merit when it was first established by the King, will mark in a special way the interest with which the stirring pageants on the Hudson will be followed by the British people in all parts of the world." Nominated for Appointment on the Commission. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Committee on Nominations, presented a report recommending the nomination of the following named gentlemen for appointment as members of the Commission : To be appointed by the Governor : Mr. William B. Jones of Albany, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. To be appointed by the Mayor: Col. H. O. S. Heistand, U. S. A., Adjutant-General, Governor's Island, N. Y. ; Mr. Frank E. Kirby, Consulting Naval Architect, 55 Morning- side Ave., West; Mr. William J. Davidson, President Staten Island Shipbuilding Co. ; Mr. Charles B. Wilkinson, No. 42 John Street, New York ; Dr. William E. Fitch, 320 Manhattan Avenue, New York ; Mr. Charles Edey Fay, \^ice-President Atlantic Marine Insurance Co., 51 Wall 1452 Minutes of Trustees Street, New York; Mr. D. Ogden Mills, No. 15 Broad Street, New York; and Mr. John C. Moore, President, Tiffany & Co., 401 Fifth Avenue, New York. It was voted that the report be received and the recom- mendations adopted. Recognised in Official Program. The Secretary moved, in behalf of ]\Ir. Ridder, that the banquet of the Netherland Chamber of Commerce in America and the Netherland Club of New York at the Hotel St. Regis, Thursday evening, September 23rd, and the German- American Banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Thursday evening, October 7th, be recognized in the official program. Carried. Dr. Low moved that the dinner of the Pilgrim Society also be mentioned in the official program when the date is decided, provided that it occurs during the second week of the Celebration. Carried. Invitation to Dedication. The Secretary presented the invitation of the New York Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America to the members of the Commission, to be present at the dedication of its tablet on the site of Fort Amsterdam at the United States Custom House in New York City, on Wednesday, September 29th, at 11 A. M. The letter from the Governor of the Society, Dr. George Clinton Batcheller, gave the order of exercises, including addresses by George Clinton Batcheller, LL. D., Governor of the Society; Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, former Governor-General of the Order; Edward Hagaman Hall, L. H. D., former Governor of the Society ; Air. Theodore Fitch, former Governor of the Society; :\Iaj.-Gen. Frederick D. Grant, U. S. A., former Governor-General of the Order and former Governor of the Society ; the Hon. William Loeb, Jr., Collector of the Port of New York ; and Prayer by Rev. Edward P. Johnson, D. D., Chaplain of the Society. It was voted that the invitation be received and noted in the minutes. September i, 1909 1453 $2,000 Appropriated for Public Safety Committee. The Secretary read to the Trustees a telegram from the Hon. William McCarroll, Chairman of the Committee on Public Safety, dated Soo Nippi Park, N. H., September ist, as follows : " Most important that Public Safety Committee have ap- propriation to-day. Regret absence from meeting. But request favorable consideration." Mr. Ridder said that he was sorry that the representatives of the Public Safety Committee were not present at the meeting to present their case, for he himself was opposed to granting them as large an appropriation as they desired. He said that he regarded this Committee as a very important and valuable one and he greatly appreciated their con- scientious work, but it was his judgment that the established police authorities of the city would take care of the general safety of the public and that the activities of our Committee should be confined to the reviewing stands occupied by the Commission. At this point the President invited Dr. Low to the chair while he took the floor to participate in the discussion which ensued. The subject was further discussed by Mr. Ridder, Capt. Miller and General Woodford. It was finally voted as the sense of the Trustees that the functions of the Public Safety Committee be limited to the Official Reviewing Stand of the Commission on Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd streets and the Commission's Reviewing Stand for Contributors on Central Park West between 60th and 63rd streets. Mr. Ridder moved that $2,000 be appropriated to the Committee on Public Safety to be expended under the joint authority of that Committee and the Executive Officers. Carried. Newspapers Thanked for Co-operation. The Secretary called attention to the Calendar of Events of the Celebration, revised to September i, which lay upon the table. He explained that this pamphlet was prepared 1454 Minutes of Trustees for the information of the members of the Commission and the Citizens' Committees and not for sale or general distri- bution. It was called a *' Calendar of Events " to distin- guish it from the Official Program authorized to be printed for sale by the Redfield Brothers. He also called attentfoii to the fact that this Calendar of Events had been copyrighted to prevent its unauthorized use in competition with the official program. In response to a question from Mr. Stetson, the Secretary explained that a brief synopsis of the program, called a " Schedule of Events," had been published in the news- papers and would be reprinted in folder form in lots of 100,000 for general distribution. Mr. Ridder and the Secretary explained the arrangements made with the newspapers for inserting the Schedule of Events in their columns at reduced rates and for publishing the acknowledgement of subscriptions gratuitously, thus effecting a great saving to the Commission. Mr. Stetson moved that the Commission express its very hearty thanks to the newspapers of New York City for their cordial and helpful co-operation. Carried. $4,000 Appropriated for the Queens Borough Committee. Mr. Windmuller, Chairman of the Queens Borough Com- mittee, reported that his Committee had decided to have no parade, but had arranged for a given program of fireworks in five wards of the Borough. These fireworks would in- clude representations of the Half Moon, the Clermont, Liv- ingston's portrait and Zeppelin's Airship. There would be five bands of music at the five different centers and during the intervals between the fireworks addresses would be delivered by prominent speakers. It was estimated that the fireworks would cost $2,500 and the music $500. Mr. Ridder moved that all previous appropriations, if any, for the Queens Borough Committee, be rescinded and that in lieu thereof, the sum of $4,000 be appropriated. Carried, September i, 1909 1455 Queens Borough Day Changed. Mr. Windmuller also stated that they originally intended to have the Queens Borough local celebration on Wednes- day, September 29, but they had decided to change it to Wednesday, October 6, subject to the approval of this Commission. Mr. Ridder moved that Wednesday, October 6, be desig- nated as Queens Borough Day. Carried. Sale of Official Publications at Official Stands. The Secretary presented a letter from Redfield Brothers, submitting for the approval of the Commission a badge and cap to be worn by the agents selling the ofificial publications of the Commission and requested that the design of the badge and cap be approved and that the representatives of Redfield Brothers be authorized to sell the official literature at the official stands under the regulations of the Com- mission. The badge consists of a disk four inches in diameter bear- ing the following words : PROGRAMME Official HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMLSSION BOOKS. The cap is made of orange, white and blue cloth as follows: Top, orange; band, white; peak, blue. Upon the front of the white band are the words, " Official Pro- gramme." It was voted that the requests of Redfield Brothers be granted. $500 Appropriated to Richmond Committee. Mr. Richards requested an appropriation of $500 for music and decoration of the dock at Stapleton, for the pur- pose of entertaining the naval officers of the ships anchored in that vicinity. 145^ Minutes of Trustees Mr. Ridder moved that $500 be appropriated for this purpose witli the understanding that if the Ricliniond Com- mittee needs another $500 in entertaining the Naval Officials, the appropriation will be made. Carried. Legal Holidays. Air. Stetson, Chairman of the Committee on Law and Legislation, reported that in accordance wath the action of the Trustees at their last meeting and in response to many- letters, he had carefully examined the statute concerning the proclamation of legal holidays and found that it was not broad enough to cover festival holidays in connection with this Celebration. Under the statute, the Governor could only proclaim days for thanksgiving, fasting, prayer, and other religious observances. The Secretary suggested that the holidays would be secured by asking the Mayor to issue a proclamation and asking the people to observe certain days as holidays. After a brief discussion the subject of legal holidays was referred back to the Committee on Law and Legislation. Vote of Thanks to Hon. George W. Perkins. Mr. Ridder, as Chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, spoke of the invaluable services of the Hon. George W. Perkins, whom he regarded as one of the most important members of the Commission, and he moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Perkins for his efficient services in aid of the Com- mission's work. Carried. Adjourned Until September 15. It was voted that when the meeting should adjourn, it adjourn until Wednesday, September 15 at 2 P. M. unless sooner called by the Chair. The meeting tlien adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary. 1457 Minutes of The Upper-Hudson Committee September 4, 1909 The sixth meeting- of the Upper-Hudson Committee of the Hudson-FuUon Celebration Commission was held in the City of Kingston, N.

During the reading of the foregoing report, Mr, Ellis, Secretary of the Kingston local committee, requested that arrangements be made so that the fleet will arrive at Kings- ton Point by 9:30 a. m. on October 5, and the Chairman of the Naval Committee said that he believed that this could be done. ]\Ir. Elliott requested that the fleet arrive at Catskill, at about 9:00 A. M. on October 6. Mr. Cady (Hudson), inquired as to how extensive would be the fleet of vessels on the Upper-Hudson. Mr. McKay replied that the Naval Committee could not give any information on this subject at present. Mr. Cady then inquired as to where such information could be obtained. i\Ir. McKay said that the Secretary of the United States Navy could furnish it. Mr. Kinnear (Albany) said that he would hke to have arrangements made so that the fleet would arrive at Albany at 10 A. M. on October 8, and in response to inquiries made by him the Chairman of the Naval Committee said that the Clermont and Half Moon would be tied alongside of the docks where it could be done with safety and that police protection would be required ; that these boats would be located wherever the local committee might desire, if it could be done with safety. That a landing float of about 50 feet by 100 feet would be required. That the Half Moon should be received by the Holland Societies. That the Naval Parade Committee is expected to have a boat for its us€s and purposes during the naval parade. That the Naval Committee should be informed of the depth of the water in front of each locality and the anchorage that can be given within the limitations of the law, as passageway must be left for the regular line of business. 1462 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Commitiee Mr. Harrison (Kingston) suggested that the Chairman add the name of some one from the city of Kingston to the membership of the Naval Committee. Mr. McKay requested that the suggestion be adopted, and that the Chairman appoint on the Naval Committee a representative from each town w^here the boats are to stop. The request and suggestion were adopted by a unani- mous vote, and the Chairman appointed Mr. W. R. Harri- son of Kingston, Gen. W. S. C. Wiley of Catskill, and Mr. John Scanlon of Cohoes as members of the Naval Com- mittee. Mr. Hanson (Cohoes) inquired if the naval officers would come to Cohoes in motor boats, inasmuch as the water is not of sufficient depth to permit the fleet to go to that city, and it was stated that this plan would probably be carried out. Mr. Burns (Troy) said that the municipalities should provide not only landing floats, but should properly protect them and so guard the river front that in case of accident there will be immediate assistance. Mr. McKay (Newburgh) suggested that telephones be placed in the immediate vicinity of the landing float for the convenience of those aboard the fleet. He also suggested that the landing floats be two feet, six inches above the water. Boat for Naval Committee. Mr. Troy (Poughkeepsie) moved that the Naval Com- mittee be authorized and empowered to charter a boat to take the Naval Committee from Newburgh northerly at the time of the naval parade. Carried. Governor's Escort. The Chairman announced that Col. MacArthur, chair- man of the Upper Hudson Committee, pursuant to author- ity conferred by a resolution heretofore adopted, had ap- pointed Mr. W. P. Adams of Cohoes and Mr. Robert J. MacFarland of Brooklyn to accompany the Governor and escort him from Newburgh northerly. September 4, it,o9 14^3 Mr. Hamilton (New York city) staled that there would be four in the Governor's party — the Governor, his secre- tary, and the two members of the Upper Hudson Commit- tee just appointed, but that possibly General Stewart L. Woodford and Mr. Herman Ridder would accompany them. He said of course it was understood that the local committees are to entertain the Governor and his party. Thanks to Naval Committee. Mr. Cady (Hudson) moved that a vote of thanks be ex- tended to Mr. McKay and the members of the Naval Com- mittee for their very clear explanations of what is required of the various towns along the Upper-Hudson. Carried. Naval Parade. Mr. Burns (Troy) spoke with reference to time of ar- rival of the fleet at the several localities, and said it would be quite an undertaking to have the fleet arrive at those places at an early hour in the morning; he believefl that the matter could be handled with greater satisfaction to all concerned if the fleet should arrive at an hour later than some of the towns were anticipating. Beacon Fires. Mr. Hudson (Hudson) moved that it be the sense of the Upper-Hudson Committee that each locality provide for the burning of beacon fires on October 9 at 9 p. m., as sug- gested by the Plan and Scope Committee of the Commis- sion. Carried. The Chairman called upon the representatives from each city and town to which an appropriation has been made to report as to what arrangements had been made for beacon fires, and each representative stated that his particular local- ity had already entered into a contract for beacon fires, except the village of Catskill, the representative from which place said that his town had not entered into a contract but that this matter might be arranged later. Mr. Graham, representing the Pain Fireworks Company, addressed the meeting with reference to beacon fire> and 1464 Minutes of Upper-Hudson Committee fireworks in general. He said that his company would pro- vide men to start the beacon fires burning and do all the work in connection with their construction. He also stated in response to inquiries that the fireworks can be furnished and set oflf at a time other than that provided for the burn- ing of the beacon fires; that the local committees can de- cide as to when the fireworks are to be discharged. On motion, the meeting adjourned. Benjamin F. Hamilton, Secretary of the Upper-Hudson Committee. William Wortman, Assistant Secretary of the Committee.

The President read the following report : '' On August 18, your Board directed that an Official Re- ception to be given inider the charge of the Reception Committee, be offered to the guests of the Commission at the Metropolitan Opera House on Monday evening, Sep- tember 27, and that the President of the Commission be requested to adjust the Literary Exercises heretofore assigned to Tuesday evening, so as to be combined with the Official Reception. "After most careful effort the President of the Commis- sion has found it iinpossible to combine the Literary Exer- September 15, 1909 1469 cises with the Official Reception, excepting alone, that tiie poem prepared by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe can be read or delivered at the Official Reception. " Jonkheer Loudon, the Netherlands Minister to the United States, had been invited to deliver an address in connection with the Literary Exercises. In order to facili- tate the Official Reception he has most generously with- drawn his acceptance and has accepted the Invitation of the Banquet Committee to speak instead at the Official Banquet on Wednesday, September 29. This leaves the Special Delegates from Holland free to make such response as they may desire at the Official Reception on Monday, Sep- tember 27. " Governor Hughes of our own State ha^ with like generosity cancelled his acceptance to speak at the Literary Exercises, and by the courteous invitation of the Banquet Committee will preside and speak at tlie Official Banquet on Wednesday, September 29. " This leaves the Official Reception to stand by itself with addresses to be made by the visiting delegates from foreign countries in such order of precedence as may be determined by the representatives of the State and Naval Departments upon our Commission. " The President of the Commission is glad to be thus able to report that all difficulties in connection with the Official Reception have now been removed ; begs to be discharged from the duty heretofore assigned him in this connection; and recommends that from this date the Official Reception on Monday evening", September 27, be exclusively under the control of the Reception Committee." General Wilson moved the acceptance of the report and the adoption of its recommendations. Carried. Mr. Ridder moved that the thanks of the Trustees be extended to General Wilson for his courteous co-operation in the arrangements for the Official Reception. Carried. Reception Couunittee Arrangements — $10,000 Appropriated. Doctor Low. Chairman of the Reception Committee, offered five resolutions (with a brief explanation of each) as follows : Pesolved, That tbe Chairman of the Reception Com- mittee have authority to place upon the list of guests of the Commission staff officers and members of the immediate party of an official guest, and such functionaries as have specird relation to the occasion. Adopted. 1470 Minutes of Trustees Resolved, That the Chairman of the Reception Committee have authority to divide the program of events into groups as follows : Group A. Official functions. Group B. Official entertainments. Group C. Entertainments on invitation. Group D. Unofficial entertainments. Adopted. Resolved, That it be referred with power to the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means and the Chairman of the Reception Committee to pay the pilotage on foreign warships, in case of need. Adopted. Resolved, That it be referred with power to the Chair- man of the Committee on Ways and Means and the Chair- man of the Reception Committee to appropriate up to $10,- 000 for the entertainment of foreign officers on the American fleet. Adopted. Resolved, That the proposition of the Associate Taxicab Companies to serve the Reception Committee in the trans- portation of its guests, according to its proposition dated September 15, 1909, be accepted. Adopted. In the discussion of the foregoing resolutions. General King advised moderation in making appropriations, as he feared there would be a large deficiency. Mr. Ridder said that it was incumbent on the Commis- sion to make the Celebration a success whether there was a deficit or not. He thought that a pessimist was a very poor patriot. Captain Murdock said that while he would not oppose anything so markedly an act of courtesy as the provision for entertainment of the officers of the navies, he thought that the individual officers would very much prefer to entertain their visiting brethren at their own expense. Doctor Low said that he understood the spirt of the Navy, but that that did not relieve the Commission of the duty of making the ofifer. He agreed with Mr. Ridder that we must make a success of the Celebration, but he reminded the Trustees of the terms of the resolution referring the ap- propriation for that purpose to the Chairmen of the Recep- tion Committee and the Ways and Means Committee, to use their discretion. September 15, 1909 1471 General Woodford said that he had ceased to be a pessi- mist and behevcd that the means would be forthcoming to meet all the requirements of generous hospitality.

September 15, 1909 1479 After a brief discussion Mr. Beck moved that communi- cation be laid upon the table. Carried. Agreement zuith the A-orcross Brothers Co)iipaii\ in Regard to Official Stand and Appropriation Therefor. The Secretary, after briefly describing certain complica- tions which had arisen with reference to the building of the official reviewing stand in front of the New York Public Library, and the efforts which had been made during the l)ast few days to adjust them, offered the following reso- lution : Whereas, Air. Charles R. Lamb, as Chairman of the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands of this Commission, received from the Norcross Brothers Co., the contractors for the erection of the New York Public Library building on Fifth avenue between 40th and 42d streets, in the City of New York, in the front of which this Commis- sion has made arrangements to erect its official reviewing stand and court of honor, a letter under date of September 9, 1909, of which the following is a copy, viz. : THE NORCROSS BROTHERS COMPANY, GENERAL CONTRACTORS, 160 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N. Y. September 9, 1909. Mr. C. R. Lamb, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Committee : Dear Sir. — Acting on the information from Mr. Huss, received over the 'phone, that the maximum time which you would require for the erection, use of grandstand and removal of same would be three weeks, and that the city would grant an extension of time lost to us as well as put up a suitable fence in place of any removed, we would say that the extension of time should be at least double the time lost to us at this time of the year. The fence which would have to be erected to take the place of that removed would have to be of a character approved by the architect. On the assumption that the derricks would not be taken down and that the stand would be erected east of them, the actual loss to us in wages and salaries paid to our employees who would not be able to work, the necessary removal of guy ropes, bracing of derricks, etc., would be at the lovvfest calculation $2,oco, and $100 per day for each and every day in excess of three weeks. If the derricks have to be taken down and the stand built into the line of the steps as proposed, the cost to us would be increased at least $3,000 additional, because it would prevent us from doing any work whatever in front of the library during the period that the stand would be erected. We would require from you a surety company bond or ether satisfactory bond guaranteeing that we would be compensated for any and all damage to our work or material on the ground caused 1480 Minutes of Trustees by the erection, occupancy or removal of the grandstand or by fire or the elements, and we would also require that a sufficient number of watchmen be provided day and night to properly protect the property and prevent any possible chance of fire. Under the above conditions we are still making a big sacrifice by not being able to proceed with our work and use up the mater- ial now on the ground or take in the material which is being shipped and which is a serious matter in connection with our monthly payments. The fact that we must lay off our mechanics and take chances of getting others when we resume work and many other incidental expenses which we cannot enumerate, you can readily see makes this a very serious matter to us at best, but as we are anxious to do our part in aiding your Committee to make the celebration a success, we are willing to allow the erection of the stand under these conditions. Yours truly. The Norcross Brothers Co., By F. O. R. P. S. — ^The Board of Estimate should pass on the extension of time. Whereas, The terms of said letter were accepted by said Chairman and said Committee on behalf of this Commis- sion, except the portion thereof reading as follows : " If the derricks have to be taken down and the stand bttilt into the line of the steps as proposed the cost to us would be increased at least $3,000 additional because it would prevent us from doing any work whatever in front of the library during the period that the stand would be erected," as to which portion of the proposals of said letter this Commis- sion does not desire to avail itself ; and Whereas, The said firm of the Norcross Brothers Co. has notified to this Commission that before turning over the said premises to it for the erection of said reviewing stand, it desires a formal action by this Commission agreeing that all the conditions of their said letter, except as aforesaid, will be complied with ; now, therefore, Resolved, That the said action of the Chairman of the said Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands be, and it hereby is, ratified and approved ; and further Resolved, That the President and Secretary of this Com- mission be, and they hereby are, authorized to execute and deliver to the said corporation, the Norcross Brothers Co.. an agreement covenanting that this Commission will comply with each and all of the said requirements of the said letter, excepting as to the following provision: " If the derricks have to be taken down and the stand built into the line of the steps as proposed the cost to us would be increased at September 15, 1909 148 1 least $3,000 additional because it would prevent us from doing any work whatever in front of the library during the period that the stand would be erected." The Secretary also read the following letter : THE NORCROSS BROTHERS COMPANY, GENER.\L CONTRACTORS, 160 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N. Y. September 15, 1909. Mr. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary, Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Commission, 154 Nassau Street, City: Dear Sir. — In order that there may be no question about the guarantee from those in authority in your Commission, we are sending you enclosed the requirements and condi- tions under which the grandstand can be erected on the New York Public Library site, Fifth avenue, between 40th and 42d streets, New York City. The compensation to us of $2,000 for loss in wages, salaries, etc., to our employees, necessary removal of guy ropes, bracing of derricks, etc., you will of course send us a check for when you send the guarantee, and the guar- antee which you are required to give will be as per enclosed letter. It will also be necessary for you to have some re- liable party examine the work 'and material on the ground, so that if anything is damaged after the grounds are turned over to you there will be no question as to the cause. We propose turning everything over to you without damage and for that reason your representative should see that every- thing is in good condition and as we represent it. Yours truly, The Norcross Brothers Co., By F. O. R. the norcross brothers company, general contractors, 160 fifth avenue, new YORK, N. Y. September 15, 1909. Mr. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary, Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Commission, 154 Nassau Street, City: Requirements and conditions under which grandstand can be erected on New York Public Library site : First. — That the maximum of time for the erection, use and removal of the stand will be three weeks. J 482 Minutes of Trustees Second. — That the city will grant an extension of six weeks to our contract time. Third. — That a suitable fence of a character approved by the architects will be erected to take the place of the iron fence and stone fence which has to be removed. Fourth. — That we will be compensated for any and all damage to our work and material on the grounds caused by the erection, use or removal of the stand, or by fire or the elements. Fifth. — We would require a sufficient number of watch- men day and night to properly protect the property and pre- vent any possible chance of fire. Sixth. — That in the event of the stand remaining on the site longer than three weeks, payment of $100 a day for each and every additional day that it remains there will be paid us as compensation for further delay to our work. The Norcross Brothers Co., By F. O. R. The Secretary said that in moving the adoption of the foregoing resolution he also moved that authority be given to comply with the additional requirements of the letter above quoted. The President, Mr. Ridder and the Secretary promised to join in giving their personal bond of indemnity, if required. The resolution was then carried. Mr. Ridder moved that the executive officers and the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands be au- thorized to make the necessary expenditures for the erection of official reviewing stands and that the amount necessary therefor be hereby appropriated. Carried. At this point the President asked Mr. Seward to take the Chair. Vending Not to be Alloived on the Official Sta)ids. The Secretary laid before the Trustees various applica- tions for permission to sell refreshments upon the official reviewing stands, and it was voted as the sense of the meet- ing that no such permission be granted. September 15, 1909 1483 Permission to Reproduce the Otficial Poster. It was voted that the New York Independent, the New York Observer, and any ether reputable newspaper, upon application to this Commission, be permitted to reproduce in its pages the design of the official poster, provided that it place under it the copyright imprint. Public Comfort Stations. The Secretary read a letter from Mr. Charles R. Lamb, Chairman of the Committee on Decorations and Reviewing Stands, communicating a copy of a letter written by Mr. Lamb to the Park Commissioner, Hon. Henry Smith, in which Mr. Lamb desires to put his Committee on record to the effect that it is not responsible for any question of com- fort stations in regard to any reviewing stands except the official ones and then only where it is possible to do so.

Mr. Ridder moved that the Treasurer be authorized to ad- vance to the Chairman of the Committee on Aquatic Sports the sum of sixteen hundred and eighty ($1,680) dollars for cash prizes and other purposes, to be accounted for. Carried. Aeronautics Arrangements. Mr. Beck, Chairman of the Committee on Aeronautics, briefly described the arrangements for aeronautic exhibi- tions during the Celebration. Referring to the contract with Mr. Glenn H. Curtiss, he stated that some question had arisen over a technicality, and in view of the shortness of the time before the Celebration, he thought it might be advisable to authorize the Chairman of the Committee on Aeronautics to modify th^ contract, if it became necessary. He therefore moved that the Chair- man of the Committee on Aeronautics be given power in his discretion to modify the contract with Glenn H. Curtiss, if in his judgment it should be necessary. Carried. 1484 Minutes of Trustees $1,800 Appropriated to the Children's Festival Committee. Mr. Ridder moved that eighteen hundred ($1,800) dollars be appropriated to the Committee on Children's Festivals for the purchase of flags. Carried. Advance Payment to Children's Festivals Committee Authorized. Mr. Ridder moved that the Treasurer be authorized to ad- vance the sum of seventy-five hundred ($7,500) dollars to the Chairman of the Children's Festivals Committee, to be accounted for. General Woodford stated that a matter of disagreement had arisen between the Board of Education and the Chil- dren's Festivals Committee, and that unless it was settled the parade of the children might not take place. He there- fore suggested that the matter of advancing the sum of $7,500 to the Children's Festivals Committee be referred to the President of the Commission and the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee with power. Mr. Ridder accepted General Woodford's suggestion as a substitute for his motion, and the substitute was adopted. Appropriation Transferred. Dr. Kunz moved that the appropriation of five hundred dollars ($500) made by the Trustees on May 26, 1909 (page 1 120), toward the expense of the Columbia Uni- versity Exhibition, be transferred to the fund for general expenses, so that it might be used for the distribution of booklets and other purposes. Carried. Museum Authorities Thanked. Dr. Kunz offered the following resolution : The Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission takes this opportunity to extend its sincere thanks to Dr. H. C. Bumpus, Director of the American Museum of Natural History, and Mr. Alanson Skinner for their preparation of the admirable booklet entitled " The Indians of Manhattan Island and Vicinity," and congratulates them upon their suc- cess in evolving a booklet of so much interest, value, and September 15, 1909 1485 tasteful appearance; and to Dr. E. O. Hovey for his care and courtesy in the editing of the Iludson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission Guide Book. Carried. Resolution of Thanks to Mr. Fred Sterry. Dr. Kunz also offered the foUowing resokition : Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to convey the thanks of the Commission to Mr. Fred Sterry of the Plaza Hotel for his courtesy in granting- for the use of the Com- mittee in Charge of the Garden Fete, to be given at Columbia University under the sanction of the Commission, the room and its appurtenances on the ground floor of the Plaza Hotel. Carried. Albany Burgesses Corps' Proposed Ball. The Secretary laid before the Trustees the request of the Albany Burgesses Corps that the Hudson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission officially approve of the military ball pro- posed to be held by that corps on Friday evening, Oc- tober 1st, either at the Metropolitan Opera House or the Hotel Astor in New York City. On account of the plans of the Commission already made, it was voted that the request be denied. Recommended for Appointment to the Commission. Mr. Fitch presented a report of the Nominating Com- mittee recommending the following named gentlemen for appointment as members of the Commission: To be appointed by the Governor: Hon. William F. Gurley of Troy and Mr. James P. Philip of Catskill. To be appointed by the Mayor : Hon. Charles W. Ander- son, Collector of Internal Revenue; Mr. Cornelius K. G. Billings, 54 Wall street; Mr. C. Ledyard Blair, 24 Broad street; Mr. Frederick G. Bourne, 14Q Broadway; Mr. Alexander S. Cochran. Mr. Edward E. Lee, Mr. M. F. Plant and Mr. Gilchrist Stewart. The report was received and the recommendations adopted. i486 Minutes of Trustees Appropriations for Illuminations Consolidated. Mr. Berri moved that the appropriations heretofore made to the Committee on Illuminations, amounting to $83,000, be consolidated, and that the Committee on Illuminations be permitted to subdivide it for its various purposes at its discretion. Carried. Report of Committee on Public Safety. Commissioner McCarroU, Chairman of the Committee on Public Safety, presented the following report: " To the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission : " Following the memorandum submitted to the Commis- sion by the Secretary, Mr. Lefler, at the meeting on August 25th, your Committee now reports having duly re- ceived notification from the Secretary of the passage of the resolution by the Commission that in its judgment the Pub- lic Safety Committee should take particular charge or super- vision of arrangements for public safety only in the case of the official reviewing stands on Fifth avenue and on Central Park West; also notice of the additional resolution of the Commission appropriating $2,000 for the use of the Com- mittee. " Your Committee, as previously reported", shortly after its organization, had taken up by communication and con- ference with the public authorities the consideration of the provisions which should be made by them for the general safety of the public. Your Committee, therefore, would now report the arrangements as completed by these officials. The arrangements made your Committee believes to be thorough and complete. "As to the Police Department, they embrace a detail of a large force of patrolmen, under proper officers, for duty along the line of the several parades, at the reviewing stands, at the piers and bulkheads, and at the places of con- course and meetings throughout the Celebration. They also embrace a patrol of the river front by the fourteen boats of the department, wuth a system of telephone communication on the pier heads, where officers will be stationed, and arrangements also for ambulances and hospital services. " The arrangements by Commissioner Hayes of the Fire Department would seem to be ample both as to precaution- ary measures and for protection in case of fire. Firemen will be stationed with an extinguisher at each alarm box September 15, 1909 1487 along the line and a number at each reviewing stand. To provide against fire arising from smoking on these stands a force of men will be specially detailed for duty underneath the structures. Firemen will also be at the several points of illumination and at meeting places in sufficient number to cope with any danger that may be apprehended from that cause. The fireboats will not lake part in the naval parade, but will remain in readiness to answer calls at their stations. " In addition, the national authorities and officers of the port have arranged for the careful inspection of the safety appliances and of the loading of steamers, and providing for safety on all vessels. "As to the official reviewing stands, which, as stated, have been made the special duty of the Committee, arrange- ments have been made to have in attendance a requisite number of inspectors whose duty it will particularly be to see that overcrowding is prevented and to have general over- sight as to the safety of the persons on them. Your Com- mittee has arranged for the sending of proper notices call- ing the attention of those in charge to the regulations it has been deemed wise to make ; also, has provided for the display of suitable signs which will indicate these to the public. " Your Committee considers itself relieved by the action of the Commission from duties beyond those indicated, further details of which need not be reported at the present time, but will be laid before the Commission in the final report which will be presented later with the amount of expendi- tures and vouchers." Mr. McCarroll supplemented his written report by say- ing he was sorry he could not be present at the last meeting of the Trustees. He thought if he had been present perhaps the view which the Trustees took on the question of an ap- propriation for the Committee on Public Safety might have been different. When his Committee was first appointed, he held the view that its duties should be limited, but when the Committee got together and considered the work before it he thought that by the appointment of the Committee the Commission had assumed a responsibility in the eyes of the public which might not have been intended, and which he himself thought should not have been assumed, but having assumed such a responsibility, the Committee considered that it was not carrying out its duties by simply taking cog- 1488 Minutes of Trustees nizance of the arrangements of the established authorities. The Committee therefore thougiit that for the sake of the standing of the Commission in a matter of tremendous pub- lic importance, it should assume some measure of oversight over the arrangement of the authorities for public safety. He did not wish at the present moment to discuss the wis- dom of the Commission's action — although he did not agree with it — in the limiting of the duties of the Public Safety Committee to the official reviewing stands. It would be the Committee's pleasure to carry out its duties as pre- scribed by the Trustees to the fullest possible extent. There was, however, attached to the resolution making the ap- propriation of $2,000 a qualification which required that the appropriation should be expended under the joint direc- tion of the executive officers ana the Public Safety Com- mittee. This he presumed was unintentional and he sug- gested that it be rescinded. Mr. Ridder explained that at the time when the resolution above referred to was adopted, no member of the Public Safety Committee was present and the Trustees did not know where they stood on the matter. The resolution, there- fore, was worded so as to provide for a mutual understand- ing, lie regarded that Committee as one of the very best the Commission had. He therefore moved that the resolu- tion of September ist, appropriating $2,000 to the Public Safety Committee, be rescinded and in lieu therefor he offered a new resolution as follows: Resolved, That the duties of the Committee on Public Safety are, to take complete charge of the stands erected by this Commission for the land parades, including the ap- pointment of ushers, ticket takers, etc., and that the sum of $3,000 be appropriated for the purposes of the Committee. Carried. $4jo Appropriated for Ambulance Launch. The courtesy of the floor was accorded to Doctor Daniel R. Lucas, sanitary expert of the Committee on Public Health and Convenience, who presented a written report on behalf of the Chairman, Doctor Porter, which concluded September 15, 1909 1489 with the request that the Trustees restore the appropriation of $1,200 for ambulance launches, which was withdrawn from the appropriations of that Committee by the Trustees on September ist. After a brief discussion, Mr. Ridder moved that the sum of $450 be appropriated to the Committee on Public Health and Convenience for one ambulance launch. Carried. Report of Memorials Committee. ]\Ir. Bergen, Chairman of the Committee on Memorials, reported that he had returned from the Netherlands, and while in that country he had presented the thanks of this Commission to the Netherland Hudson-Fulton Commission for their generous gift of the " Half Moon " in aid of the Celebration, and had presented the certificates of the ap- pointment of the members of the Netherland Half Moon Commission as our Honorary Foreign Councillors. Many of these were delivered in person, and others by means of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Secretary of the Netherland Hudson-Fulton Commission. The members of the Netherlands Commission expressed themselves as highly gratified with the honor conferred upon them, and sent their compliments and thanks to the President and Trustees of our Commission. Mr. Bergen also reported that the Netherlands Commis- sion, soon after their arrival in New York on Wednesday, September 22d, would be taken in a steamboat to visit their property, the " Half Moon," by the officers of the Holland Society of New York, and in the evening the Netherland Commission would dine with the Holland Society at the Waldorf-Astoria. He therefore requested that these two events be placed upon the official program. The request was granted. Mr. Bergen also reported that i\Ir. Gerodus Mathias Kraay of Bussum, Holland, presented to the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission his original water color of the " Half Moon " with the flags flying, for such use as the Commission may deem best. The picture was accepted with thanks. ' I490 Minutes of Trustees Appropriations for Richmond Committee Consolidated. Mr. Richards moved that the appropriations for the Rich- mond Committee, amounting to $5,450, be consolidated so that they could be divided and disbursed at the discretion of the Committee. Carried. It was voted that the sum of $487.50, payable out of the appropriation for the Richmond Committee, be paid to Mr. Richards for the Stony Brook Celebration. $3,000 Additional Appropriated for Illuminations. Captain Miller spoke briefly of the inadequacy of the ap- propriation of $5,000, made May 26, 1909, for illuminations on the river front, saying that it was not half of what was needed. Mr. Stetson agreed with Captain Miller that the present provision was inadequate. He therefore moved that $5,000 additional be appropriated to the Committee on Illumina- tions. After a brief discussion, participated in by Mr. Berri, Mr. Ridder and the Secretary, in the course of which it was suggested that the appropriation be diminished by the amount that might be raised in New Jersey, the appropria- tion was granted unconditionally. Dinner of the Pilgrim Society. General Woodford reported that the Pilgrim Society of New York would give a dinner in honor of Admiral Sey- mour of the British Navy at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, on Monday evening, October 4, and requested that the date be inserted in the Official Program. The Secretary was requested to comply with General Woodford's request. Financial Matters. General Woodford spoke of the necessity for raising more money to meet the requirements of the Commission. The demands upon the Treasury in order to meet unavoidable requirements made it necessary that at least $100,000 more September 15, 1909 1491 should be raised between the date of the meeting and the Celebration, and he believed that every member of the Com- mission should put his shoulder to the wheel and help raise the money. Mr. Stetson believed that the expenditures authorized at this meeting in addition to the previous appropriations were highly advisable and necessary to carry out properly the Commission's plans, but he agreed with General Woodford in stating that the individual Commissioners should leave nothing undone to meet the financial situation. Mr. Ridder moved that the President and the Secretary be requested to send at the earliest moment a letter to each member of the Commission urging him to constitute him- self a special collector among his friends for the purposes of the Celebration. Carried. Co-ordination of Signal Fires. Colonel MacArthur, Chairman of the Upper Hudson Committee, asked the Trustees to make clear their wish in regard to the co-ordination of signal fires along the upper Hudson with those along the lower Hudson. It was therefore resolved that the Upper Hudson Com- mittee be requested to arrange its signal fires on the evening of October 9th, so that they should be continuous with those below Newburgh and that there might be a complete chain of fires from New York to Troy. Official Trial of the Clermont. Mr. Olcott reported that on Tuesday, September 14. an official trial of the Clermont had been made, and that the replica of Fulton's steamboat had proved a perfect success. He said that the trial trip was very interesting, and even exciting, and that t^he boat had demonstrated its power to proceed to the head of navigation under her own steam. Grand Marshal's Arrangements Perfected. In the absence of Major General Roe, Grand Marshal of the Parades, the Secretary reported that the Grand Mar- shal's arrangements were perfected. 1492 Minutes of Trustees Completion of Other Plans. Mr. McKay and others reported the completion of Com- mittee plans at various points along the river. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary. H93 Minutes of Trustees' Meeting September 22, 1909 The forty-fifth meeting of the Trustees of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission was held at the headquar- ters of the Commission in the Tribune Building, No. 154 Nassau street, New York city, at 2 p. m. on Wednesday, September 22, 1909.

The Assistant Secretary read that portion of the minutes of the meeting of September 15 under the heading "$500 additional appropriated to the Bronx Committee," and stated that Mr, James L. Wells was under the impression tliat two other resolutions which he believed he had pre- sented that day had been adopted. He therefore asked in- structions from the Trustees as to the desired correction. The matter was referred to Mr. Ridder, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, with power. On September 24 Mr. Ridder decided to allow the Bronx Committee $725 additional — $225 having been asked for decorating Washington avenue, the route of the Bronx parade; $350 for erecting a stand at the site of the Hudson monument on Spuyten Duyvil Hill, and $150 for decorating the same. This makes an aggregate appropriation of $7,025 to the Bronx Committee to date. September 22, 1909 H95 Treasurer's Report. The Assistant Secretary, in behalf of the Treasurer, Mr. Isaac N.

The Secretary laid before the Committee a communi- cation from the Executive Secretary of the Mayor of New York, dated October 8th, commtmicating the appointment, upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee of Colonel Joseph Jermain Slocum (brother of Mrs. Russell Sage), of III Broadway, New York. The Secretary was authorized to add his name to the roll of the Commission. October 13, 1909 1545 Payment of Urgent Bills Authorised. The following resolution, adopted by the Executive Com- mittee October 8, 1909, was ratified : Resolved, That the President or Acting President be authorized in his discretion to approve for payment any and all bills, duly incurred, the payment of which before the next succeeding meeting of the Trustees or Executive Com- mittee may in his judgment be emergent. Engagement of Counsel Authorized. The following resolution, adopted by the Executive Com- mittee, October 8, 1909, was ratified : Resolved, That the President or Acting President be au- thorized in his discretion to employ an Attorney or Counsel, or both, in case such legal services should be deemed neces- sary or advisable. Sale of Effects Authorized. The Secretary offered the following resolution : Resolved, That the President or Acting President be authorized to take such steps for the sale of the floats and other parade paraphernalia, as well as the furniture and other personal effects of the Commission, as in his judg- ment may be necessary or advisable. The resolution was adopted with the understanding that it should not apply to the Clermont and Half Moon. Half Moon and Clermont Wanted at Norfolk, Va. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a letter from Mr. J. Hampton Moore, representing the Atlantic Deeper Waterway Association (Crozer Building, Philadelphia"!, dated October 6, 1909, addressed to Mr. Charles E. Reid of the North Side Board of Trade of New York, request- ing the presence of the Half Moon and Clermont at the Atlantic Waterways Convention, to be held at Norfolk, Va., November 17-20. Mr. Wells moved that the request be granted, provided the Deeper Waterway Association would guarantee the safety of the vessels and defray the expense of taking them to and from Norfolk. 154^ Minutes of Trustees Mr. Seward suggested that the matter be referred to the Clermont and Half Moon Committees. Gen. Woodford explained that the Half Moon was now at the Navy Yard in Brooklyn with her sails stowed away. The vessel was the gift of a nation and should not be ex- posed to any risk, and he suggested that the Trustees move deliberately in the matter of the application. Mr. Baxter, in behalf of the Commandant of the Navy Yard, said that the Half Moon was in the temporary care of the Navy Yard and that nobody was allowed on board of her. The yard was so crowded with vessels that there was some risk, but the naval authorities would take care of her as long as they could. As to the proposed temporary removal to Norfolk, he reminded the Trustees that the Half IMoon was masted and was ballasted so that she drew about nine feet aft, and it was a question whether she could pass under the bridges and through the canals by the proposed inland route. The ship had been rigged by men from the Dutch cruiser Utrecht which had now departed, and it re- quired skillful sailors to rig and unrig her. Air. Low said that if anything happened to the Half Moon she could not be replaced, with all her associations, and a bond of indemnity was of no use. He suggested that Mr. Wells modify his motion so as to apply to the Clermont only. Mr. Ridder moved, as a substitute for Mr. Wells' motion, that the request to send the Half Moon and Clermont to Norfolk be referred with power to the Half Moon Com- mittee, the Clermont Committee, and the Executive Officers jointly. Mr. Wells accepted the substitute and the motion was carried. Recommendation Concerning Disposition of Clermont. ]\Ir. Olcott, Chairman of the Clennont Committee, read the following extract from the minutes of a meeting of that Committee : A meeting of the Clermont Committee was held this day, October ii, 1909, at the Down Town Club, Chairman E. E, October 13, 1909 J 547 Olcott in the chair . . . The following preamble and resolu- tions were, on motion duly seconded, unanimously adopted : Whereas: It is the opinion of the Clermont Committee of the Hudson Fulton Celebration Commission that the replica of this famous vessel should be maintained in effi- cient condition for the greatest length of time possible, in order that it may be an ever present remembrance of the beginning of steam navigation, of the obstacles which were overcome at her first Iniilding and of the enormous benefits of steam navigation that have since been made and are yet to be made ; and Whereas : The Committee believes that to best accom- plish this object, the new" Clermont " should be moored and maintained in the City of New Work where it may be easy of access to the greatest number of people and where if special occasion demand it may be maneuvred under steam ; Therefore be it Resolved: That this Committee recom- mend that the Clermont replica be delivered to the custody of the City of New York to be moored and maintained by the city at a suitable location such as the present official reviewing pier on the Hudson river which the Committee believes can be used for this purpose. Further discussion of the subject without any wish to trespass upon the privileges of another Committee led to the suggestion that it would be advisable to moor and main- tain the replica of the Half Moon as near that of the Clermont as possible. In the discussion which followed it was suggested that the matter be referred to the Half Moon and Clermont Committees jointly with power. Mr. Fitch said he thought the final action should be by the Trustees or Executive Committee. He believed that the Half Moon should have its permanent residence on Manhattan Island. Mr. Seward agreed with Mr. Fitch in the contention that the Half Moon and Clermont Committees should report their recommendation to the Trustees. It was finally voted that the report of the Clermont Com- mittee be referred to the Half Moon Committee, the Cler- mont Committee and the Executive Officers to examine and report. 154^ Minutes of Trustees Preliminary Report on Disposition, of Half Moon- Col. Satterlee, Chairman of the Half Moon Committee, presented the following written report: The physical custody of the vessel " Half Moon " and Deed of Gift and Book containing List of Subscribers to the Fund in Holland, is now in the Half Moon Committee. The Dutch officers and crew have left this country. The antique articles which were in the cabin on the vessel have been stored in the Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company, in the name of the Commission. Her gear has been stowed below under lock and key, and the keys are in the hands of the undersigned. The vessel herself is moored in a safe place in the New York Navy Yard and is guarded day and night by four petty officers supplied by the captain of the U. S. S. Hancock. The vessel is covered by fire and marine insurance to the extent of $30,000, based on a present valuation of $30,000, her cost being $40,000. All the functions of the Committee have been performed except that of recommending to the Commission a plan for the future preservation and exhibition of the vessel. In furtherance of this last described function the Com- mittee respectfully unanimously report as follows, viz.: That the Half Moon should be kept on the Hudson river in a reservation or park of which her name would form part of the title. At the same time the Committee transmits to the Com- mission the offer of the officers and directors of the New York Zoological Society (incorporated) to immediately take the vessel and transport it to the Society's Garden situated in the Borough of the iBronx, City of New York, and place her in the basin or lake formed by the broadening of the Bronx River within the limits of the Society's Garden, and to care for her as long as she may last, and exhibit her to the public under reasonable restrictions in the same manner as the natural history exhibits of the Society are shown. The Committee are investigating sites on the Hudson River, principally in the neighborhood of Spuyten Duyvil, Stony Point and within the limits of the Highlands-of-the- Hudson Forest Reservation, that is to say, from Dunder- berg Mountain to Storm King Mountain, on the west bank of the Hudson, in the Highlands. Col. Satterlee supplemented his written report with a few verbal remarks about the Half Moon, which returned to New York on Monday, October nth. On that date her October 13, 1909 1549 crew was relieved and rejoined the Netherlands cruiser " Utrecht." lie said that his Committee was unanimous in the opinion that the Half Moon should be placed perma- nently somewhere on the Hudson river. All the unities and proprieties dictated that her final resting-place should be upon the river on which she and her prototype had sailed. As to the particular locality, however, the Com- mittee was not prepared at i)resent to make a recommenda- tion, as the time which had elapsed since the celebration was too short to permit a satisfactory investigation of all the sites suggested. Among the places along the river which had been recommended were the neighborhood of Inwood Hill and Spuyten Duyvil Creek ; Stony Point, where the State already had a reservation under care of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society; lona Island, which is Federal property in the jurisdiction of the Navy Department ; West Point, which is Federal prop- erty in the jurisdiction of the War Department ; and some point within the bounds of the proposed new State Forest Reservation in the Highlands. . In deciding upon the final location it would be necessary to take two sets of facts into consideration. A site twenty-five or fifty miles from New York City would probably give the citizens of the upper valley and the State at large a better opportimity of seeing the interesting vessel than if she were nearer New York. On the other hand, if located in New York, greater numbers of people could visit her. In this connection he desired to call attention to the ofifer of the New York Zoological Society to care for the Half Moon. This so- ciety had the management of the Zoological Park in the Bronx, through which flows the Bronx river. An enlarge- ment of this river would, it was thought, afiford a suitable basin in which to place the vessel. This society was the only oiDe which had come forward now and said that it was ready to take care of the ship at once. Last year there were 1,600,000 visitors to the park and this year the number would probably reach 2,000.000. The Half I\I(X)n Committee was very favorably impressed with this sugges- tion. If the Half Moon were located at One Hundred and 1550 Minutes of Trustees Tenth street and Riverside Park or any other place along the river it would be necessary to construct a concrete basin for her protection. He submitted the ofifer of the Zoologi- cal Society and the various other recommendations and stated that the Committee would carry out whatever reso- lution the Trustees finally adopted. The report was received and ordered on file. $200 Additional Appropriated for Bronx Committee. Mr. Ridder moved that $200 additional be appropriated to the Bronx Committee for expenses in connection with the Bronx music festival in Crotona Park, to meet increased expense due to postponement on account of rain. Carried. Report of Richmond Committee. The Secretary presented the following report from Mr. Eugene Lamb Richards, Jr., Chairman of the Rich- mond Committee : On behalf of the Richmond Borough Citizens' Committee, I submit the following report on the Celebration in the Borough of Richmond: The program of the Celebration was duly carried out in the manner announced and to the satisfaction of the citizens of the Borough with the possible exception of the Historical Floats for the land pageant which failed to arrive either at all or in time to take part in the parade. Our Committee personally through its members and friends provided adequate illuminations and fireworks to welcome the visiting Men of War, thereby relieving the funds of the Commission from any such expense. The Secretary of our Committee, although having sacri- ficed three months of his time to the aflfairs of the Committee and the Commission, asks for no compensation for his services. Although many unforeseen exigencies arose, the Richmond Committee has kept well within its appropriation and will ask for no further amounts beyond the total authorized. The report was received and ordered on file. It was voted that the cordial thanks of the Commission be extended to Mr. CorneHus G. Kolflf, Secretary of the Richmond Committee, for his generous services. f October 13, 1909 1551 Resolutions in Regard to Medals Adopted — Expenditures Authorised. Mr. Adams, Vice-Chairman of the Medal Committee, pre- sented a written report, giving in detail the number of medals sold, the amounts expended and received therefor, and the number of medals still on hand. The report con- cluded by recommending the adoption of the resolutions mentioned below. The report was received and ordered on file. The following resolutions were then offered in behalf of the Medal Committee, the fifth resolution being here given as amended in the course of the informal discussion which ensued : Resolved, That the Medal Committee be authorized to deliver any of the medals now on hand upon the requisition of any of the Chairmen of the various Committees for which medals have already been provided. Resolved, That the $4,480 received by the Medal Com- mittee for the sale of medals and deposited with the Treas- urer of the Commission be repaid to the Medal Committee. Resolved, That the Medrd Committee be authorized to sell, as in its judgment may be to the best advantage of the Commission, ail medals remaining after meeting such further requisitions as may be made for medals now on hand. i Resolved, That the Medal Committee be authorized to settle the royalty and expense accounts with the Whitehead & Hoag Co., and pay all expenses incurred by the Medal Committee in connection with its affairs, rendering a de- tailed statement thereof as soon as convenient. Resolved, That the Medal Committee be authorized to pro- vide, at the expense of the Commission, sets of medali consisting of one medal each of the following examples: 4-inch silver, 4-inch bronze, 2>4-inch silver, 2>^-inch bronze, 2-inch silver, 2-inch aluminum, i^^-inch bronze, i34-incli silver, 154-inch silver-plated hard metal, and to present one set each, in the name of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, to the following institutions : American Numismatic Society, New York. British Museum, London, England. 'Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, New York. 1552 Minutes of Trustees Congressional Library, Washington, D. C. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. New York Historical Society, New York. New York Public Library, New York. New York State Library, Albany. Rijks Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. United States Military Academy, West Point. United States Mint, Philadelphia, Penn. United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. and such other institutions as in the judgment of the Medal Committee may be proper. Resolved, That the Medal Committee be authorized to restrict the use of the dies to the medals already struck or ordered, and to deposit all the dies in the museum of the American Numismatic Society as a contribution of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission to the collections of that Society. h The resolutions were adopted. *!l Captain Miller spoke of the need of 600 or 700 more medals for the fleet, and after a brief discussion it was Resolved, That the Medal Committee be authorized to supply the Naval Parade Committee with as many medals as it should need to complete its presentations. Captain Miller moved that the four-inch silver medal be presented through the Reception Committee to the Squadron commanders in the Naval Parades. Carried. Captain Miller moved that a four-inch silver medal be given to the First Naval Battalion, and one to the Second Battalion Naval Militia of New York for the service those organizations rendered the Commission during the Celebra- tion. Carried. (As amended Oct. 27 before printing. See p. 1570.) Captain Fry moved that a suitable medal be presented to each ship and vessel of the United States Revenue Cutter Service which assisted in the Celebration. Carried. Mr. Low reminded the Chairmen of Committees that upon the Chairman of the Reception Committee and the Chairman of the Medal Committee had been devolved the duty of presenting medals outside of those specifically recommended. {' October 13, 1909 155 (For further reference to medals presented in recognition of services, see reports of Reception Committee and Upper Hudson Committee following.) Mr. Low ofifercd the following resolutions: Rcsohi'cd, That all ]~)rcvious action with reference to the presentation of gold medals to Ciovernments he and hereby is rescinded ; and Rcsolz'cd, That gold medals be sent to the Presiidient of the United States and to Governments which sent warships to the Celebration ; and that these medals be sent by the President of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission in such manner as he may deem advisable. Both resolutions were adopted. President Schurman, Chairman of the Committee on Gen- eral Commemorative Exercises, reported that he had been in conference with the State Commissioner of Education in regard to the award of medals to educational institutions, in pursuance of the general plan heretofore outlined by the Committee on General Commemorative Exercises, and it was apparent that they would need about 770 of the four- inch bronze medals for the writers of prize essays. It also sieemed advisable to extend the scope of the plan previously sugei^ested by presenting one medal each to educational in- stitutions as institutions, as memorials and object lessons of the Celebration ; and for that purpose he desired to have the authority of the Committee extended, so that four-inch bronze medals could be presiented to 692 High Schools, 162 Academies, and 30 Colleges and Universities. The ap- propriation heretofore made to his Committee for all pur- poses was $3,500. Of this amount only a small part had been spent, and tilie balance on hand would nearly, if not quite, meet the expense of presenting the medals above rec- ommended. To be on the safe side, however, he moved that $300 more be allowed to the Committee, making its total appropriation $3,800, and that the Committee be em- powered to present the medals as recommended. The motion was carried. Efforts for Inzvood Hill Park Continued. JVIr. John E. Parsons, Chairman of the Inwood Hill Park Committee, presented the following report: 1554 Minutes of Trustees The Inwood Park Committee begs leave to report : So far as we have been able to learn, the public author- ities are in favor of the acquisition for a Hudson-Fulton Memorial Park of the essential part of Inwood Hill. In- formation came to the Committee to the effect that Presi- dent McGowan of the Board of Aldermen was not in favor of the plan. The Chairman of the Committee has had sev- eral interviews with President McGowan, and at 'his sug- gestion addressed a communication to the Board of Aldermen, of which a copy is annexed to this report. Be- fore sending the comimunication notice was given of a meeting of the Committee, at which, however, it so hap- pened that only Mr. Olcott was present. With Mr. Ol- cott's approval the communication was sent, was presented to the Board and was referred to the Committee on Parks of the Board. Since then the annexed letter has been re- ceived from President McGowan : No. 52 William street, New York, September 30, 1909. Hon. Patrick F. McGowan, President of the Board of Aldermen: Dear Mr. McGowan. — I am, as you are aware. Chairman of the Inwood Park Committee of the Hudson-Fulton Commission. The magnificent celebration in which we are concerned raises the ques- tion whether with its close anything is to remain on the Island of Manhattan which shall testify for all time to our obligations to Henry Hudson. The City, the State and the country have every reason to exult at the magnificence of the celebration. It would seem as if nothing could have occurred to better gratify our proper feeling of national pride and to make known to the rest of the world what three hundred years have produced here where Hudson first opened our river to the knowledge of the rest of the civilized world. Inwood Hill is very much to-day in the con- dition in which it was at the time when Hudson first saw the island. If it, or an important part of it, should become a City park it will constitute a permanent monument than which nothing could be more appropriate. The beauty of the views from the hill, its wooded character, the fact that it is surrounded by water on three sides, its form, all make it most suitable for a park. And it the Riverside Drive and the approaches to the bridge, either or both at any time, are to be realized, increased expense will be saved if the City shall at this time acquire the property. Ihe im- portant property owners have abated their price in the interest ot the Commission to amounts which I think will be recognized as being reasonable. Upon the top of the hill is the site of the old tort, and within the area proposed for the park are still to be found three Indian rock shelters, three refuse heaps and other interesting Indian remains. The Inwood Park Committee has already been in communication with the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. Is not the present the most appropriate time at which to initiate action looking to the acquisition of the hill for a park? I am sure October 13, 1909 1555 that the Hudson-Fulton Commission will be greatly indebted to you, to the members of the Board and to all concerned for any action tiie outcome of which may be the preservation of this most interesting and appropriate memorial. Yours very truly, J NO. E. Parsons, Chairman. THE CITY OF NKW YORK, Office of the PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN, City Hall. October 11, 1909. Hon. John E. Parsons, No. 52 William street, Manhattan. Dear Mr. Parsons. — Your favor of the 8th inst. to hand. Un- fortunately when your communication was presented to the Board the Mayor was absent and, as Acting Mayor, I was prevented by law from presiding at the meeting of the Board. The matter of Inwood Park was sent to the Committee on Parks. Had I been present I would have asked the Board to re- quest the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to take action in the matter and would have prevented the reference if possible. Mr. Arthur H. Murphy, candidate for President of the Borough of the Bronx, is Chairman of the Committee on Parks, and I sup- pose is too busy for the present to take up this matter. However, I shall write him about it and have it reported out if possible. Yours very truly, P. F. McGowAN. The owners of the important parts of the hill have been wilHng to accept prices for their property v^'hich are re- garded as reasonable. The objection as the matter now stands is whether the city has power to isstie bonds for the acquisition of the property, or, in other words, what is the situation so far as concerns the question of the bond hmit. The point for consideration by the Trustees is, whether efforts to acquire the park shall be continued. This mat- ter is submitted to tlip flctermination of the Trustees. Tf they are in favor it is submitted that it would be suitable to have passed a resolution to the following effect : Resolved, That the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commis- sion thinks that efforts for the acquisition of Inwood Hill as a Hudson-Fulton Memorial Park should continue, to the end that it may constitute a permanent memorial on Man- hattan Island of Hudson's visit, Fulton's achievement, and the Celebration just finished, which the Trustees feel that they nitay regard as satisfactory in every respect. The report was received and the resolution was carried. 1556 Minutes of Trustees Report on Children's Festivals. Mr, Samuel Parsons reported upon the execution of the plans for Children's Ft?tivals as outlined in his previous reports, including free illustrated lectures in seventy cen- ters and children's commemorations in fifty districts. In these arrangements the Committee had the helpful co-opera- tion of the Board of Education. The money appropriated to the Committee had been adequate to its needs, and it had been expended with care for organization, training, cos- tumes, bands, stereopticon slides, etc. The final disposition of the slides which cost $2,700 was a question yet to be considered. General Woodford said that he felt that he was express- ing the opinion of the entire Commission when he said that the Children's Festivals were one of the most success- ful, instructive, and beautiful features of the Celebration. If there had been nothing but the Children's Festivals alone they would have justified the Celebration. He therefore extended to Mr. Parsons and his colleagues the thanks of the Commission. West Point Reception. Colonel Vrooman said that in conversation with the rep- resentatives of foreign governments, who were the guests of the Commission, he had learned that nothing interested and pleased them more than their visit to the United States Military Academy at West Point on Wednesday, Septem- ber 29th. He therefore moved that General Order No. 192 be incorporated in the minutes of the Commission. Tlie motion was carried. General Order No. 192 reads in part as follows : HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY, West Point, N. Y.. September 27, 1909. SPECIAL ORDERS, ) No. 192. f 4. In honor of the official guests of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission upon their visit to West Point on Wednesday, the 29th instant, the following is ordered : i October 13, 1909 1557 I St. The iMilitary Acadiemy Detachment of Cavalry, mounted, full dress, will act as escort and will be reported at the West Shore railroad station by i :oo p. m. 2d.

The following-named officers will accompany the com- mand and they will report to Lieutenant-Colonel Sibley for instructions : DEPARTMENT OF TACTICS : Captain Morton F.

The Corps of Cadets is expected to be dismissed from the narade in lime to embark not later than 6:30 p. M. at Pier 40 at the foot of Clarkson street, where the steamboat will be in waiting, and return to this Post. Dinner will be served to all on the return trip. By order of Colonel Scott : J. S. Herron, Captain, 2d Cavalry, Adjutant. Major-Gcncral Wood and Captain Murdock Thanked. Mr. Low moved that the Trustees also express their appreciation of the cordial co-operation of the United States Military authorities of the Department of the East on Governor's Island, and the United States Naval authorities at the New York Navy Yard. The hospitality and courtesy of Major General Wood and Captain Murdock not only added greatly to the pleasure of the Commission's guests II October 13, 1909 1559 and to the success of the Celebration, but also greatly facilitated the performance of the duties of the Reception Committee. Without the splendid co-operation of Captain Murdock, it would have been impossible to meet the foreign guests as they should have been met, and he was of in- estimable assistance in anchoring the vessels and in everv sort of attention. The same was true of General Wood, and he felt that some record should be made of their in- valuable services to the Commission. Captain Miller, Colonel Satterlce, Colonel \^rooman and others seconded the motion, and it was carried. Report of Reception Committee. Mr. Low as Chairman made a short verbal report in be- half of the Reception Committee. He said that every official delegate, except two or three, was met on arrival by a special representative of the Reception Committee and. escorted to his hotel. Those who arrived by sea were met down the bay. The diplomatic guests were brought from Washington by a special car to Jersey City, where they were met by the Commission's special representatives. Thence they were brought under the river in special cars to Twenty-third street, and thence they were taken in taxi- cabs to their hotels. Toward the end, the Committee learned that the delegate of the Sultan of Morocco with three secretaries and four servants would arrive in Boston. Whereupon the Committee sent gentlemen to that city to meet the arriving party, which was taken to Harvard Uni- versity and around Boston before being brought to New York. Here accommodations were made for the Moorish representatives at the Hotel Astor by Mr. Muschenheim, although that hotel, like all the hotels of the city, was already taxed to its utmost. From New York the Moorish Delegates, who were charged with a message from the Sultan to the President of the United States, were taken to Washington and brought back to New York. This was cited as an example of the efforts made by the Committee in behalf of the Commission to show every attention to its t^uests. All the guests were entertained acceptably at the 1560 Minutes of Trustees hotels, and nothing but satisfaction had been heard from the guests as to their treatment. The action of the hotels was very public spirited and he wished to bear testimony to the fact that they had carried out their generous offer of hospitality according to the highest interpretation of its spirit. As a slight recognition, a four-inch silver medal would be sent to each hotel. The greatest expense of the Committee was for transportation, but the results secured amply justified the arrangements. An automobile was placed at the disposition of every Admiral, and they ex- pressed their appreciation of this provision. The Com- mittee also arranged for a so-called ferry service from the floats to the subway, and every fifteen minutes an omnibus went from the subway to the landing stages. This was a very remarkable service, and Mr. Naughton deserves special mention for the great ability with which he organized and carried on this service. The automobile service was organ- ized by the Mason-Seaman Transportation Co., and was also very satisfactory ; medals will also be sent to those two gentlemen for their intelligent co-operation. Mr. Low quoted Rear Admiral Schroeder, commanding the American fleet, as saying that he had never been so well cared for in any part of the world : and this was true of the other navies. A four-inch silver medal was given to each Admiral and ranking officer, and a two inch medal to every officer below the grade of Admiral or ranking officer. Four-inch silver medals would be sent to the Special Delegates, Diplomats and Consuls. The Reception Committee had the vakvablc assistance of many gentlemen as aides, who did what they undertook. Mr. Low concluded by saying that he believed that the Commission could feel that so far as its official guests were concerned, everything that could have been thought of was done for their comfort and pleasure. If there were any failures they were due to accident, and not to oversight or carelessness. Mr. Win-lmuller moved that the cordial thanks of the Commission be given to the Reception Committee for the remarkable manner in which it had discharged its very responsible and very delicate duties. Carried. October 13, 1909 1561 Mr. Low thanked the Trustees for this expression of their appreciation. He said that where everybody on the Commission had done so well, the compliment to his Com- mittee might seem to be an invidious distinction, were it not for the fact that the Chairmen of all the Committees of the Commission were members of the Reception Committee and were included in the resolution. I Official Landing at Riverside Park. Captain Miller said that the contract with the city in re- gard to the official landing at Riverside Park opposite One Hundred and Tenth street required that it should be re- moved on or before November 15th. The same condition applied to the contract with the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in regard to the bridge over its track at that point. H the pier which cost $32,000 is to be retained, some action should be taken at once. He there- fore moved that the matter be left with the President of the Commission and such other officers as he should choose, w^ith power. Dr. Kunz said that he believed that it was a mistake to locate the landing at One Hundred and Tenth street, where it spoiled the only mile of natural waterfront in that vicinity. If it had been half a mile north, or half a mile south of One Hundred and Tenth street, it would not have been so bad. He was of the opinion that the sooner it was removed the better. Captain Miller said that there were only two practicable locations for the landing — at One Hundred and Tenth street and One Hundred and Sixteenth street. After all the talk of the need for an official landing which had been going on for years, the Commission had given an object lesson in the matter. He thought that before the Commis- sion adjourned finally it should pass a resolution in favor of some permanent and dignified place for the reception of guests coming to the city by water. He also spoke of the great debt of the Commission to the Commissioner of Docks for his co-operation in arranging the floats along the river. 1562 Minutes of Trustees Mr. Ridder moved as a substitute for Captain Miller's motion that the question of the continuance of the water- gate (or official landing) be referred to the Naval Parade Committee and the Executive Officers with power. The substitute was accepted and adopted. Ways and Means Report. Mr. Ridder stated in behalf of the Ways and Means Committee that it was too early to make a formal report on finances, as all the bills of the various committees were not yet presented. His present opinion was, however, that the situation was satisfactory and that the Commission had on hand enough money and resources to meet all demands. There were so many committees at work and their work was so large that there was perhaps some question ,as to whether there would be a surplus or deficiency ; but in the latter event the shortage would probably not exceed $25,000, and that amount could easily be raised. Report on lUwninations. Mr. Berri, Chairman of the Illuminations Committee, re- ported verbally that the Committee had performed its work as authorized. Some changes had been made in the original plans, either owing to unforeseen contingencies, or in order to make a more effective distribution of the lights without increasing the demands upon the treasury of the Commis- sion. He spoke highly of the co-operation of the five elec- tric light companies, who, in order to carry out their part successfully, had made a gross outlay of over $50,000 be- yond the compensation provided in their contracts.' The lack of co-operation by New Jersey had interfered some with the completeness of the Committee's plans, but he be- lieved that the illuminations on the w^hole had been one of of the most beautiful and satisfactory features of the cele- bration. He believed that the Committee was about $4,576 inside of its appropriation. The report was received. Mr. Berri moved that the thanks of the Commission be extended to the five Edison Companies for their hearty co- operation and satisfactory services. Carried. October 13, 1909 1563 Thanks to Public Officials. Mr. Berri suggested that a suitable resolution of thanks be sent to the various public officials who had co-operated with the Illuminations Committee. The Secretary said he thought that the scope of such ac- tion should be enlarged so as to include the Mayor and the heads of the various municipal departments, particularly the Police Department, who had co-operated with the Commission. He therefore moved that the Conimission express to all the municipal authorities with whom it has had helpful re- lations in connection with the Celebration its sincere appre- ciation of their invaluable .assistance, and especially to the Police Department, whose aid and general co-operation were a magnificent evidence of the efficiency of that Department. He also moved that letters be sent to the Mayor and the heads of departments, embodying this expression of the Commission's appreciation. The motions were adopted. Report of Public Safety Committee. In behalf of Commissioner McCarroll, Chairman of the Committee on Public Safety, the Secretary presented a pre- liminary written report. The report states that the duties of the Committee were carried out in co-operation with the heads of the Bureau of Buildings, as having the regulation and supervision of the construction of reviewing stands, the Police Department as charged with the maintenance of pub- lic order, the Fire Department in relation to the prevention of fire on reviewing stands and elsewhere, the Department of Docks and Ferries regarding arrangements at public docks, the Street Cleaning Department, and the Board of Steamboat and Navigation Service as to the order of navi- gation, the supervision of safety appliances on passenger boats, and the prevention of overloading the boats. In the course of the report the Committee says : The remarkable absence of serious accident or fatality is the most eloquent testimony to the completeness of the arrangements made by the officials and the remarkable effi- 1564 Minutes of Trustees ciency with which they were executed. All who shared in, and the multitudes who witnessed, this great celebration owe a debt of gratitude, which your Committee is sure will be most willingly acknowledged, to all those who have had charge in these matters. It will surely not be regarded as invidious comparison to make special mention of the Police Department upon which fell, in the nature of the case, the most onerous duty. The copies of its orders sliow the vast details involved in the regulations, all of which were so carefully planned and so successfully carried out. They embraced the policing of the line of march, the patrol of the river front and the river, the ambulance service and the special details at the various places of concourse. All these were in addition to the regulation of street traffic, itself a task of magnitude in view of the vast numbers of people. The conduct of the officers and men, whose ability, strength and patience were so put to extreme test, was such as to call forth expressions of admiration and appreciation upon all sides. Not so much in public view, but no less efficient, were the arrangements of the Fire Department, which included many details of men, with apparatus at the various reviewing stands and other points where emergencies might arise, in addition to the ordinary precautions at public places. In recognition of these facts, your Committee recommends that suitable resolutions should be adopted by the Commis- sion, expressing appreciation of the provisions made and their successful execution, to be transmitted to the Commis- sioner of Police, the Fire Commissioner and the Commis- sioner of Docks and Ferries. Through the courtesy of the Public Service Commission for the First District, it is reported, as an item of interest in the line of the work of the Committee, that the transit lines — surface, subway and elevated — carried in all, in Greater New York, during the period of the celebration, from September 25th to October 2d, inclusive, 47,834,103 passengers. On September 25th there were 7 accidents resulting in injury to passengers. On September 2Sth there were 7 accidents resulting in injury to passengers. On September 30th there were 5 accidents resulting in injury to passengers. On October 2d there was i accident resulting in injury to one passenger. October 13, 1909 '565 This is lower than the average number of accidents in ordinary traffic, which shows the attention and care exer- cised in the provisions for safe transportation for this enormous number of people. In these accidents there was nothing to indicate that any one of them was directly con- nected with the celebration.

Arrangements were made with Pinkerton's National Detective Agency to pro- vide ushers, ticket takers, inspectors and watchmen for the stands at the Court of Honor and on the north side of Fifty- ninth street. Similar arrangements were made with Schmitt- berger's Detective Agency for the stands on Central Park West. All of these men were either authorized officers of the State detective force or special police, so that they could be utilized in that capacity in case of necessity. The report expresses the opinion that the arrangements were carried out to the satisfaction of all. It concludes by saying that the approved bills incurred amounted to $3,815.19, and that probable bills, amounting to $100, were still to be presented. This was somewhat in excess of the appropriation made for the Public Safety Committee. The committee, therefore, suggested that au- thority be given for the payment of these bills from the appropriation made jointly to the Committee on Public Health and Convenience and the Committee on Public Safety. The report was received and ordered on file, and the closing recommendation was referred with power to the President or Acting President. Upper Hudson Committee Report. Colonel MacArthur, Chairman of the Upper Hudson Committee, reporticd that the celebration within the juris- diction of his Committee was a complete success, and it took twenty-five newspapers nearly a week to describe the various affairs. He said that from the time when General Wood- ford took passage on the Steamer " Trojan " to the close of the Upper Hudson Celebration at Cohoes, there was not a single moment which was not full of enthusiastic activity. The Celebration was one of the greatest events ever known in New York along the banks of the Hudson River. So October 13, 1909 1567 far as the land celebrations were concerned, each community vied with every other to make its own the best event of the celebration. He paid a hig-h tribute to Mr. Wm. J- McKay, Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee of the Upper Hudson Committee, whose zeal was untiring in the discharge of his responsible duties. He asked Mr. McKay to speak for the Upper Hudson Committee. Mr. McKay stated that his Committee had moved the fleet according to plan previously outlined. The fleet was taken to each point on time or ahead of time. There were no accidents or trouble. He asked that some recognition of the service of Senior Captain D. P. Foley of the Revenue Cutter Service be made for his valuable assistance in connec- tion with the Naval Parade from Newburg to Troy. It was largely due to his efforts that the Committee had been able to move from town to town on time and not disap- point the people. In addition to the towns along the banks of the river, the parade had stopped at Cruger's Island, and the Clermont had been sent to the old Livingston dock at Clermont, without losing time. Air. Low asked Mr. McKay to furnish him with a list of those to whom medals should be sent in recognition of their services in connection with the parade in the upper river celebration. Various Reports. Interspersed through the foregoing proceedings were brief verbal reports from Mr. Windmuller, Chairman of Queens Committee ; Lieutenant Commander Fry, Chairman of the Aquatic Sports Committee ; Judge Higley, Chairman of the Dedications Committee ; Dr. Kunz, Chairman of the subcommittee on Historical and Scientific Exhibits, and Dr. Kunz as Chairman of the Committee which had charge of the Columbia Lawn Fete, on the successful issue of the por- tions of the celebration in charge of those Committees, During a portion of the meeting, Vice-President Stetson presided at the request of General Woodford. 1568 Minutes of Trustees Adjournment to October 27, 1909.

A communication was read from Capt. Jacob W. Miller, dated October 27th, asking that the imprinted minutes of the meeting of October 13th be amended, so that his mo- tion in regard to medals for members of the Naval Militia ^lould read as follows : " Captain Miller moved that a four-inch silver medal be given to the First Naval Battalion, and one to the Second Battalion Naval Militia of New York for the services those organizations rendered the Commission during the Celebration." The change was approved. City Fund Turned over to Commission by Aldcrmanic Committee. The Secretary read the followimg letter, dated October 2ist, from the secretary of the Special Committee of the Board of Aldermen, of which the Hon. T. P. Sullivan is chairman : Hon. Herman Ridder, October 21. 1909. P. O. Box 1207, City. Dear Mr. Ridder. — You are hereby advised that this Comnuittee met on Monday October 18. 1909, and reviewed the appropriation of $250,000 made by the city for the pur- poses of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, with the following result : Allowance for schools $50,000 00 Allowance for illuminations and fireworks... 65,000 00 Allowance for Naval Display 67.000 00 Bills incurred by Conrnittee, already audited. 40,005 00 Bills incurred by Committee, not yet audited. 71 50 Total $222,076 50 balance October 18, 1909 27,923 50 $250,000 00 The Committee, by unanimous vote of those present, turned this balance of $27,923.50 over to the Hudson-Ful- ton Commission. Respectfully, Albert E. Hull, Clerk. October 27, 1909 1571 Mr. Ridder, chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, expressed the appreciation of the Trustees for this action of the Aldermanic Committee. With respect to the general financial situation he said that he was still of the opinion that there would be no deficit. He explained how he had been going through the bills, and reducing those of merchants and large corporations upon condition that they should be paid on a net spot cash basis. In this and other ways he believed that he could bring about the sub- stantial equality of the Commission's resources and obliga- tions. If there should be a deficit, however, he did not think it would be over $25,000, and he thought he knew where that amount could readily be raised. The Nor cross Bros. Contract. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a letter, dated October 26th, from the Norcross Brothers Company, con- tractors for building the Public Library on Fifth avenue, between Fortieth and Forty-second streets, calling atten- tion to certain details of the restoration of the fence in front of the library where the official reviewing stand was erected ; also calling attention to the clause in their con- tract wherein the Commission agreed to procure from the city a six weeks' extension of time to their contract for completing the library. A brief discussion of the matter followed, in the course of which Mr. Ridder stated that imder the resolution passed by the Trustees October 13th he had engaged Mr. Wil- liam J. Amend of the firm of Amend & Amend, as counsel to the Commission, and that his services would be per- formed gratuitously. He also said that the matter of the Norcross Bros. Company's contract was with the counsel, and that it was best to leave the matter there. It was finallv voted to refer the matter to Mr. Ridder. Red field Bros. Request Release from Contract. The Secretary laid before the Trustees letters from Messrs. Redfield Brothers, requesting release from their contract obligation to pay the Commission royalties on the official 1572 Minutes of Trustees publications printed and sold by them. The following is a copy of Redfield Bros.' letter of October 19th : Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, Tribune Building, New York City. Dr. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary : Dear Sir.— Replying to your letter of October i6th, ask- ing us to make a proposition in writing, indicating what we will give to clear ofif the matter of payment of royal- ties on the official publications, under our contract with the Hudson-Fullon Celebration Commission, we beg to sub- mit the following statement of our expenditures and re- ceipts in connection with these publications up to October loth: Quantity Cost of Printed. Manufacture. Official Programs 325,000 $15,942 46 Historical Souvenirs 1 10.000 14,957 95 Carnival Booklets 110,000 3-373 36 Post Cards 5,000,000 13.750 00 Half Moon Mounts 10,000 200 00 Total Manufacturing Cost $48,223 yy Selling expense, including commissions to salesmen, advertising, rent, etc 10,526 62 Total Cost of Manufacturing and Selling. $58,750 39 Cash received and owing 37,765 09 Expenditures in excess of receipts $20,985 30 Judging from our experience to date, we do not anticipate our future sales will materially lessen our losses. In view of this condition, we ask the Commission to re- lease us from all royalties and permit us to dispose of such books, programs and post cards as we may have on hand at such prices as we can obtain. We trust the Commission will fully realize the position in which we are placed and will grant us this request. (Signed.) Redfield Brothers, Inc. By invitation Mr. J. H. Redfield and Mr. J. R. Kendricks of the firm of Redfield Brothers were present to make a statement. Mr. Kendricks said that in undertaking the October 27, 1909 1573 publications for the Commission they had encountered many difficulties which were almost insurmountable. As a result he said the publications as a business proposition were a flat failure, as the public failed to absorb them. They did not get started until the Celebration was practi- cally under way, and a great deal of matter which was to go in them was not forthcoming until other publications were in the field. This late date militated against them. The official program was put on sale ten days before the Celebration, and the public declined to buy, as the price of twenty-five cents per copy was prohibitive. They had printed from 300,000 to 400,000 copies. They still had on hand 100,000 copies and 200,000 covers. In the midst of the Celebration they reduced the price to ten cents retail and five cents wholesale, which was much below the actual cost. Furthermore, the pohce interfered with their sales- men, arresting and fining them, tims impeding the sale of the programs. The Commissioner of Parks prohibited the sale of the programs in all park places, threatening to have the salesmen arrested and fined. When the programs appeared for sale a half dozen unscrupulous publishers used the material in it. There were about twenty-two differ- ent publications issued covering the events of the Celebra- tion. Mr. Kendricks also complained that in the course of the publicity work of the Commission, the Commission had issued about 600,000 copies of a folder, giving a brief outline of the Celebration, which were secured by individ- uals and given out witli advertisements stamped on the back. The Board of Aldermen also forced a program upon the public, of which 50,000 copies were printed, con- taining most of the matter of the official program. These they distributed free or sold at five cents per copy. Up the State Redfield Brothers expected a clear field all the way to Troy. They found, however, that local committees were arranging to issue their own official programs. At Albany they found 30,000 programs issued by the local committee. The result was that the local programs re- mained in the stores and those of Redfield Brothers were returned. In regard to the postal cards he said that tliey 1574 Minutes of Trustees ■had been delayed so long that other pubHshers had gotten out cheap souvenirs in competition, with the result that Redfield Brothers had 4,500,000 left on their hands. The Carnival Booklets were also a flat failure, as they had not sold 20,000 out of 100,000 printed. As the firm's loss was from $12,000 to $15,000 he said he thought it would be but justice to release them from their royalties. In fact, if the Commission had any money available, he thought it would be fair to make them an appropriation to recoup their losses. Mr. Redfield said that he had nothing to add to Mr. Ken- dricks' statement, as Air. Kendricks had full charge of the sales. Mr. Redfield and Mr. Kendricks then withdrew. The Secretary said that there were several inaccuracies in the statements to which they had just listened. He would not attempt to go over the statements and correct them, but he said that the Trustees could gauge their accuracy by comparing Mr. Kendricks' statement that the firm had lost from $12,000 to $15,000 with the letter of October 19th, in which they figured their loss at nearly $21,000. He also said that the statement in regard to the folders is- sued b}^ the Commission conveyed a wrong impression. These little four-page folders were the barest outline of some of the events. They were distributed mostly outside of the city of New York. In every instance in which Redfield Brothers brought anything to the attention of the officers of the Commission they received the fullest co-operation. In regard to advertisements, he presumed that Mr. Ken- dricks referred to the fact that a cigar dealer had obtained some of the folders, and without authority had stamped his card upon the back, a procedure which was checked as soon as discovered. The Assistant Secretary said that it had been stated to him by a person entirely conversant with Redfield Brothers' arrangements for sale, that the trouble was with the high price to dealers fixed by Redfield Brothers, and that when the price-list was first shown to- the Assistant Secretary's informant, the latter told Redfield Brothers that it was October 27, 1909 1575 suicidal. The Assistant Secretary said that the implication was that the failure of these sales was due to bad business judgment on the part of the contractors. Mr. Stetson said that when he first heard the request for the release of Redfield Brothers, he did not see what power the Trustees had to give such a release, as such a gratuit}' was not in furtherance of any object of the Commission. Upon hearing, however, that a certain amount of delay had been caused by the inability to furnish cer- tain details of the program earlier, his view was altered. Mr. Bergen, chairman of the Committee on Memorials, said that he was familiar with the steps leading up to the making of the contract. He explained that after it was decided that the Commission would not furnish funds for the publications those who had bid for the printing retired one after anotlier, except two or three, including Redfield Brothers. In negotiating with the latter the Committee had pushed them pretty hard, and then increased the size of the royalty. He thought that if at the crest of the wave of demand enough copies had been ready for sale the re- sult would have been very different. After some general discussion as to the manner in which the matter should be disposed of it was finally voted, upon motion of Mr. Ridder, that it be referred to the Committee on JMemorials with power. Request of Life Saving Corps for Trucks. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a letter, dated October 26th, from Wilbert E. Longfellow, general super- intendent of the United States Volunteer Life Saving Corps, asking the donation of the running gear of two or three of the Historical Floats for the use of that corps. Laid on the table. Badges, Flag and Poster Couimittee Report. At the request of Mr. Jaccaci, chairman of the Com- mittee on Badges, Flag and Poster, the Assistant Secretary presented the report of that committee, reading in part as follows : 1576 Minutes of Trustees Official Posters: 77,814 posters were printed and distrib- uted free. Of these 66,494 were furnished with tubes for protection. The railroads received 52,896. Of the 24,918 remaining Mr. Louis Annin Ames distributed 3,338, Air. Simon Brentano of Brentano's 2,000, Mr. P. T. Wall of the Shippers and Travellers' Exchange 1,000. While this Committee has expressed the appreciation of the Commis- sion for the services so generously given by these gentle- men, we submit that further recognition of their sei"vices be miade by the President of the Comindssion. Every order for one or more posters was acted upon, and all details of the distribution were attended to under the direction and supervision of the chairman. The corre- spondence involved reached many thousands of letters re- ceived and as many sent, and some 4,000 postal cards. Four thousand five hundred posters were mailed from his office or distributed by messengers. From the time during the Celebration when all posters had been given out, and ever since, have come hundreds of requests, fro^m schools, public and private, libraries, colleges, etc. Your Commit- tee considered the question of printing some more, but in view particularly of the expense and difficulty of distribu- tion the recommendation is made that no more posters be printed. Official Badges: 1,500 badges of solid silver wxre made, 1,000 for guests were delivered to the Reception Commit- tee — 500 were Commission Badges, of these 96 remain unsold, 272 Aides' Badges were made and all sold, 1,300 Citizens' Badges were made, of which 95 remain unsold. Thus far badges have been sold only to members entitled to wear them, but since requests have been made for them your Committee will sell the remaining ones at the same price which was paid for them by members of the Commis- sion and of Citizens' Committee. Acting upon the resolution passed by the Board of Trus- tees on September 2, 1909, we delivered to Mr. Seth Low, Chairman of the Reception Committee 150 Aides' Badges at the expense of the Commission. The bill for these from the Medallic Art Company is $163.50. In pursuance to the resolution passed by the Board of Trustees on September 15, 1909, we sent by registered mail to the ten members of the Legislature on the Legislative Committee of the Commission, ten Commission Badges. The cost of these is included in our general appropriation so that the special appropriation of $100 made to us for that purpose has not been drawn upon. October 27, 1909 1577 The report contained a financial statement, showing that the total expenditures, amounting to $11,167.82 were $1,241.39 inside of the resources of the Committee. In moving that the report be received and placed on file, Mr. Ridder spoke very highly of the work of the Com- mittee, and of its Chairman in particular. He spoke of the value of the posters, which were distributed to the railroad companies chiefly, in securing the financial co-operation of the railro-ads. Mr. Ridder said that Mr. Jaccaci had done this work very rapidly and efficiently, and that he was an important factor in producing the valuable result. The re- port was received and placed on file. Report of Iiizvood Hill Park Committee. In the absence of Mr. John E. Parsons, Chairman of the Inwood Hill Park Committee, the Secretary presented the following report : October 26, 1909. Henry W. Sackett, Esq., Secretary: Dear Sir. — On behalf of the Inwood Park Committee I have to report that on October 19th the Board of Alder- men adopted a Resolution accepting and adopting a report of the Committee on Parks to whom had been referred our application in favor of Inwood Hill for a Public Park, a copy of the report and resolution being submitted herewith : Report of Committee on Parks No. 2872 : The Committee on Parks, to which was referred on October 5, 1909, a communication in favor of acquiring certain property at Inwood Hill, in the Borough of Manhattan, for a public park, repectfully reports: That, having examined the subject, it believes the proposed acquisition to be desirable and recommends that the accompany- ing resolution be adopted. Resolved, That the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund and the Board of Estimate and Apportionment be and they are hereby requested to take such steps as may be necessary for the acquire- ment, as a public park, of the property known as Inwood Hill, in the Borough of Manhattan. A. H. Murphy, Thomas F. Baldwin, John J. Reardon, James J. Nugent, L. Barton Case, James H. Finnigan, Committee on Parks. Under Rule 21 consideration of this report was deferred. Sub- sequently Alderman Murphy moved the adoption of this report. Which report was accepted and resolution adopted. 1578 Minutes of Trustees On October 25th inst. Mr. Ridder, yourself and I as Chairman of the Inwood Park Committee had interviews with the Ma)roT and President AIcGowan of the Board of Aldermen. At the suggestion of the latter we wrote to Mr. Metz, Chairman of the Comimittee of the Board of Estimate, to whom the action of the Board of Aldermen had been referred, .asking prompt consideration of the sub- ject. We have reason to think that the City Authorities are heartily in favor of the proposal. Respectfully, John E. Parsons, Chairman. The Secretary added that the Hudson Monument erected on Spuytcn Duyvil Hill, for which Mr. Muschenheim was chiefly to be given credit, and the acquisition of Inwood Hill Park would be conspicuous evidences of the permanent work of the ComimJssion. The report was received and ordered on file. Permanent Incorporation Discussed. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a letter dated Oct<}ber 25th, from Col. John W. Vrooman, suggesting, among other things, the desirability of making the Trustees a permanent body by an act of incorporation. Colonel Vrooman's letter said : " The magnificent outcome of the Celebration should be an impetus to keep alive the great good accomplished. We should continue our labors to make the results permanent, and the patriotic lessons should not only be recorded, but held up to our people both as an inspiration and as a dona- tion for all future time." In this connection the Secretary called attention to the problem presented by the care of the Half Moon and Cler- mont. He said that at the joint meeting of the Executive Officers with the Clermont and Half Moon Committees on October 21st, at which Mr. Madison Grant, Secretary of the New York Zoological Society and Dr. William T. Hornaday, Director of the Zoological Park, were present. October 27, 1909 ^579 it transpired that that society, which had ofifered to take care of the Half Moon, was iniwilhng to assume the respon- sibiHty of giving the pubhc access to the interior of the ship and exhibiting it in all its parts to the public. It therefore seemed to be necessary to place the Half Moon in the care of some other organization. (At this point General Woodford asked Mr. Ridder to occupy the chair.) Dr. Kunz said that there were societies alread}^ in exist- ence which had given attention for many years to various subjects embraced in the Celebration, and he thought that it would conflict with them if a new permanent organization were effected as proposed, Mr. Low said he agreed with Dr. Kunz. He thought that the Commission had done its work with credit, and that when its affairs were properly closed up, the Commission should cease to exist, and not create another society. Mr. Bergen spoke of the significance of the Half J^doon as a permanent memorial of the Celebration. He said that without considering whether, the Commission could give away a gift which it had received, it should be borne in mind that this was the tenderest gift ever given. There was nothing sham about the Half Moon, and that vessel was in fact the monument of the Celebration. Mr. Seward called attention to the provision in the charter of the Commission which fixed the life of the Commission at ten years from the date of incorporation, namely, April 27th, 1906. He thought that the Commission would have plenty of time to consider what it would do, and that there was no necessity for acting at the present moment. The subject was therefore informally dropped without action. In the course of this discussion, referring to the subject of the Half Moon, Mr. Low called attention to the fact that Mr. Benthem, the engineer from The Netherlands, who attended to the fitting up of the Half Moon at the New York Navy Yard, had come to New York several weeks before the Celebration began, and had stopped at the 1580 Minutes of Trustees Netherlands Club. Mr. Low asked if the Commission de- sired to pay the expenses of Mr. Benthem, as it had paid the expenses of the other guests who had arrived at the beginning of the Celebration. The consensus of opinion being in favor of paying fne;»e expenses, he so moved and the motion was carried. Official Report of the Celebration Authorized. The Secretary also laid before the Trustees the second suggestion contained in Colonel Vrooman's letter of October 25th, to the effect that the minutes of the Commission and other official documents in connection with the Celebration should be carefully compiled in a condensed form, so that they might be placed within the reach of all who might desire a copy. Colonel Vrooman spoke of the increasing value of such volumes in the future and suggested that the Legislature might publish such a book at the expense of the State. General Woodford said that he supposed that it was understood that when the work of the Commission was finished a compendium should be prepared by the Assistant Secretary. Mr. Ridder said that he thought that the publication should be more than a condensation of the minutes. It should contain the history of the Comanission and ,a descrip- tion of its work. Mr. Stetson said that the Commission was entitled to make a report to the Legislature ; that he had conferred with Senator Allds, and that there would be no difficulty about having it printed by the Legislature. It was his opinion that the Trustees should authorize the assistant sec- retary to prepare a report to the Legislature covering the ground suggested by General Woodford and Mr. Ridder. Judge Higley stated that he thought the report should embrace all the elements of the work of the Commission and the Celebration. Mr. Low said that as Chairman of the Reception Com- mittee he had received many letters from the official guests which were very interesting. He felt warranted in saying i October 27, 1909 1581 that the impression which h.c had received from reading these letters was that the guests were delig'hted with their treatment. Many of these communications contained good material for a report such as was suggested. He suggested, however, that when it comes to the point of changing the form of the book and increasing the numbers above those ordinarily printed by the Legislature, arrangements should be made for the sale of the book by subscription, so that the members could get copies at their individual expense. He thought it would be a good idea, however, to ask the Assistant Secretary now to prepare the material in such form that it could meet both cases. The Secretary said that he had also received many letters similar to those mentioned by Mr. Low. Calling attention to the fact that the charter of the Commission provided for both Annual reports and a final report, he asked whether the report contemplated in the discussion should be an Annual report for the Legislature or the final report of the Commission. Mr. Stetson said that the final report could not be made until all the debts of the Commission were settled. He added that his suggestion as to making the report to the Legislature was based not upon an obligation imposed by the charter, but on an opportunity presented for the publi- cation by the State, and he had made it after a conference with those in authority who would have to do with the publication. The report should be miade in a dignified form, he said, and he believed that the present opportunity should be availed of. After remarks by Dr. Kunz, Mr. Berri and others, Gen- eral Woodford modified his motion, so as to provide that the Assistant Secretary should prepare a report to the Legislature embodying a history of the Commission and an account of the Celebration, and the motion was carried. Apropos of this subject it was moved that a letter be sent to all of the chairmen, asking them to send to the Assistant Secretary for embodiment in the report the names of all those who had assisted them in their arrangements and who were entitled to the acknowledgments of the Commission. 1582 Minutes of Trustees Letter to the Queen of the Netherlands. General Woodford here resumed the chair. The Presi- dent said that it had been suggested that this Commission send to the Queen of The Netherlands a letter expressing the Commission's appreciation of the co-operation of the people of The Netherlands in the Celebration. Mr. Bergen moved that such a letter be transmitted by the President. Judge Higley seconded the motion, and it was carried. Half Moon and Clermont. Mr. Gregory inquired what disposition had been made of the request of the Deeper Waterway Commission for the presence of the Half Moon and Clermont at Norfolk during the Convention in November. The President stated in reply that at a joint meeting of the Executive Officers with the Half Moon and Clermont Committees on October 21st it was decided not to send the Half Moon to Norfolk, but to send the Clermont if it could be arranged. Mr. Gregory strongly advocated a State Park in the High- lands, and thought that the two vessels should be placed there. He ex'pressed the opinion tJhat the Commission should not cease its work until the preservation of the scenery of the Highlands was assured. Hudson River Scenery Committee Enlarged. The President .announced that at the unanimous request of the Committee on the Hudson River Scenery he had added to that Committee that day Mr. Ridder, Mr. Stetson, Mr. Frederick S. Lamb. Badges for Paroehial Sehool Children. Mr. Low read a letter in regard to the presentation of badges to children of the Parochial Schools in Brooklyn, who participated in the Celebration. At his suggestion the question was referred to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Medals Commiittee and the Chairman of the Recep- tion Committee with power. October 27, 1909 1583 Adjourned Subject to the Coll of the Chair. Several other niatters were discussed without formal action. The Board then adjourned subject to the call of the chair. Henry W.

A general statement of the fmancial situation was made b}' Mr. Ridder, Chairman of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, to the effect that unpaid bills on hand amounted to about $60,700 and the cash resources to about $17,000, leav- ing a deficit of about $43,700. This, however, will be re- duced somewhat by the sale of parade paraphernalia, and other effects, and the receipt of royalties, etc., and Mr. Ridder was confident that the balance could readily be raised within the Commission without further public appeal. General Woodford's Adieu. The President then rose to bid the Trustees good-bye, before sailing for Europe on December 11. The following summary of his words of farewell was subsequently pre- pared by General Woodford from memory and handed to the Secretary for insertion in the minutes : " On Saturday next, I expect to sail for Europe, to be gone for about six months. During my absence, I will en- deavor to perform to the best of my ability the pleasant task, which you have committed to me, of presenting the official gold medals of the Commission to the heads of the European Nations which were represented by vessels of their navies at the Celebration. These medals are of solid gold, three inches in diameter. Upon the edge of each medal are engraved the words: 'To the Government of (name of government) from the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Com- mission, September 25-October 9, 1909. A token of friend- ship and appreciation.' Each is enclosed in a russia leather case, suitably stamped. And to accompany each has been 1628 Minutes of Trustees prepared a letter, engrossed and illuminated upon vellum, and beautifully bound in book form. " It seemed naturally right that the first of the eight medals should be given to our own Government. By pre- vious arrangement through the Secretary of State, I made this presentation to President Taft at the White House on Tuesday, November 23. I was accompanied by the Secre- tary and Assistant Secretary of the Commission. The Pre- siding Vice-President of the Commission, Mr. Ridder, and the Treasurer, Mr. Seligman, had engagements which pre- vented their attendance. We were received in the most dignified and kind manner by the President. He had gathered his entire Cabinet, and when we were ushered in, the President and Cabinet received us standing and re- mained standing during the ceremony. No foreign func- tion which I have ever attended has been more dignified, courteous and complete. In answer to my address, the President read a reply in which he said that the medal and accompanying letter would be deposited in the archives of the Government and preserved as a memento of the Cele- bration, as a token of appreciation, and as a pledge of New York's devotion to the Government of the United States. In the informal amenities which ensued, he explained that they would be deposited in the Library of the Department of State, where the Declaration of Independence and other valuable archives are kept. " The first foreign medal, as a matter of propriety and courtesy, will be presented to the Queen of the Netherlands, as Henry Hudson sailed under Dutch auspices and New Netherland was settled by the Dutch. No order of pre- cedence among royalty will prevent this just recognition of The Netherlands Government, as the heads of Governments stand on an equality, diplomatically, and we have been ad- vised by our State Department that I can consult my con- venience in arranging the order of presentation. Under date of November 10, I sent to Her Majesty, Queen Wil- helmina, through His Excellency Jonkheer J. Loudon, the Netherlands Minister, a letter requesting the privilege of December 8, 1909 1629 an audience, and have been advised through him that Her Majesty will receive me between the 15th and 20th of this month and that the Netherlands Government will feel greatly- honored to have the memorial presented. " I will next go to Berlin and present the medal to His Majesty the German Emperor. I have been informed through His Excellency, Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador to the United States, that His Majesty will receive the representative of the Commission and that the Ambassador has been instructed to make the necessary pre- liminary arrangements. " The order in which the other three European medals will be presented will depend upon circumstances. If nothing prevents, I will go to Paris and present the medal to the President of France, and thence to Rome and make the presentation to the King of Italy. Then I shall take the rest which I think I need after the demands of the Celebration. As Kipling says : We shall rest, and in faith we shall need it, Lie down for an aeon or two. After the winter and spring in Italy, I expect to go to London, and in the proper season make the presentation to His Majesty the King of Great Britain. " Meanwhile, our Department of State has consented to transmit the medals to the Governments of Mexico and the Argentine Republic. " Now, in parting from you, I want to thank you more heartily than words can express for the friendship, con- fidence and loyal support which you have accorded me dur- ing the past four years as President of the Commission. It would be invidious to mention any particular committee, but I want to thank you all, especially the Executive Offi- cers, not only for your many evidences of devotion to me as President, but also for the disinterested and self-sacrificing manner in which you have discharged your onerous, re- sponsible and delicate duties as public officers. " To Mr. Ridder, the Presiding Vice-President and Act- ing President, Chairman of the Ways and Means Commit- 1630 Minutes of Trustees tee and Chairman of the Carnival and Historical Parades Committee, I think our Commission owes very much — very much. To his comprehensive grasp of the Celebra- tion as a whole, to his wonderful capacity for detail, to his indefatigable application to work, and to his great per- sonal influence with public authorities, organized societies and private individuals, the success of the Celebration has been largely due. For his self-sacrificing labor I wish to express my profound gratitude and high admiration. To Mr. Seligman, our Treasurer, we owe a large debt of ap- preciation and gratitude. He accepted the great responsi- bility of the Treasurership with the same generous spirit with which he has co-operated in other public affairs of a patriotic and philanthropic nature and his reputation in the financial world has been a source of strength to the Com- mission. His firm, in advancing large sums of money for the immediate recjuirements of the Commission, has been of inestimable help in facilitating the transaction of the Commission's business afifairs. Your President and the whole Commission are also greatly indebted to Col. Sack- ett. who, during the four years of his devoted services as Secretary, has made continued sacrifice of his valuable pro- fessional time. Probably few of us can realize the multi- tude of important and delicate details which have devolved upon him. During our ten years' close association as co- Trustees of Cornell University, I have formed a high opinion of his sound judgment, and during these four years of intimate intercourse on this Commission I have always turned to him with confidence for counsel and co-operation. I wish to have it put on record that when we came to pre- pare the letters which accompany the official medals to the heads of Nations, they were composed by the Assistant Secretary, Dr. Hall. When you come to read them, as they appear at the proper time in the Minutes, you may think that your President had something to do with them. They are, however, due solely to the exquisite literary abil- ity of our Assistant Secretary. Each I believe to be his- torically accurate and suited to the government to which December 8, 1909 1631 it is addressed, and I think that they are unique in Htera- ture of the kind. " With your permission, I wish to depart in one respect from what I just said about not mentioning any particular Committee. Our distinguished fellow Trustee and Yice- President, the Hon. Frederick W. Seward, drew up the original plan of the Celebration. Copies of it were mailed to every member of the Commission and suggestions were made, but he prepared the Plan and Scope Report as finally presented and adopted by the Commission. It is not a little remarkable that the plan for a celebration covering several days was almost complete in his mind before it took out- ward form in our Festival. It seems only just to say this of one of our most distinguished members — one who has served our Republic from his boyhood until his ripe and honored age. "And now. trusting that the plan for the creation of a Public Park at Inwood Hill as a permanent memorial of the discovery of the river and the founding of New York may be consummated ; that the erection of the Hudson Monument on Spuyten Duyvil Hill may be successfully completed ; and that a Water-Gate may be established on the shore of the Hudson River as a permanent memorial of the genius of Robert Fulton, I heartily wish that God may keep you. one and all. in health and happiness, and I bid you good-bye." The President then invited Gen. James Grant Wilson to the Chair and retired. Colonel \'rooman offered the following resolution : Resolved, That we cordially reciprocate the sentiments expressed by General Woodford in his address and in turn heartily thank him for his distinguished services as Presi- dent of this Commission ; that the kindness, tact and uni- form impartiality with which he has discharged his respon- sible duties has contributed in large measure not only to the successful execution of the Commission's plans, but also to the remarkable unanimity which has prevailed in its coun- cils during the past four years ; that his service as Presi- dent of this Commission is worthy of a career so long de- 1632 Minutes of Trustees voted to the welfare of our Country, State and City, as soldier, lawyer. Lieutenant Governor, and diplomat ; that our loyal friendship and best wishes accompany him during his mission abroad, and that we hope for his safe return and the enjoyment of many years of health and happiness. The resolution was adopted. Letter Accompanying Medal to President Taft. Following is a copy of the letter delivered by General Woodford to President Taft on the occasion of the pres- entation of the official gold medal at the White House No- vember 2^, 1909 : THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Headquarters : The Tribune Building, New York, N. Y. November 15, 1909. The Honorable William H. Taft, President of the United States. Sir. — In behalf of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Com- mission of the State of New York, the undersigned Ex- ecutive Officers have the honor to present to the Govern- ment of the United States an Official Gold Medal struck by the Commission in commemoration of the 300th anni- versary of the Exploration of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609 and the looth anniversary of the successful inauguration of Steam Navigation upon that river by Robert Fulton in 1807. The two events commemorated in the Celebration of which this Medal is a souvenir were of more than local importance. In effect, they were of National and even In- ternational significance. One brought to the knowledge of Europe and opened to Civilization the great river to which, more than any other single natural factor, is due the great- ness of New York State and New York City. The other has given to all the navigable waters of the earth a value which they did not previously possess, has narrowed the December 8, 1909 ' 1633 Ocean, in point of time, to one-seventh its former dreary- breadth, and has promoted the neighborHness of nations to a degree which cannot readily be estimated. ReaHzing the important influence of these and related events upon the moral as well as the material welfare of our own and distant peoples, our Commission planned a celebration which, in its efifect at home, was designed to educate our cosmopolitan population in their own history, stimulate the culture of their higher faculties, increase their civic pride, and strengthen their loyalty to the institutions of our Government. With respect to the Foreign Nations which, through the good offices of the Federal Government, became our guests, it was designed to bring them together in friendly intercourse, acquaint them with the best fea- tures of our American life and character, show them the cordiality of our friendship, and cement those bonds of mu- tual confidence and affection which are the surest conser- vators of international peace. For whatever measure of success has attended our eft'orts in these directions, we are largely indebted to the official countenance and practical assistance of the Federal Govern- ment. Permit us, therefore, in behalf of our Commission and of the people of the State of New^ York, to thank you very heartily for the cordial cooperation which, through your sympathetic interest and by your official orders, was ex- tended to us ; and to communicate through you to the mem- bers of your Cabinet, and particularly to the Honorable the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Post- master-General, the assurances of our sincere appreciation of the hearty collaboration of their Departments. Permit us also to express the pleasure and instruction which the presence of the Navy and Armv gave to the millions of spectators of the Naval and Military pageants. The sight of our superb fleet on the river and the spectacle of the personnel of both the Navy and Army on land, were deeply impressive and cannot have failed to exalt our na- tional pride in these arms of the Government. In respectfully requesting you to accept this Medal. Mr. President, may we ask you to cause it to be deposited in the archives of the Government, not only as a memento of our Celebration, but also as a token of our appreciation and a pledge of New York's loyal devotion to the Govern- ment of which you are the honored head. 1634 Minutes of Trustees With assurances of our high esteem, we have the honor, sir. to subscribe ourselves Your faithful friends, Stewart L.

Gentlemen. — In response to your letter of November 15 and your personal presence with which you honor me, I beg to thank you for the official gold medal struck by your Commission in commemoration of the 300th anniver- sary of the exploration of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609 ^"^^ the looth anniversary of the success- ful inauguration of steam navigation upon that river by Robert Fulton in 1807. December 8, 1909 1635 I congratulate you upon the great success of the appro- priate celebration which you inaugurated and carried out. and I am very glad to receive at your hands this perma- nent memorial prepared by you to indicate the cordial co- operation of the National Government in all its branches in making the celebration a success. As you request, I shall cause the medal to be deposited in the archives of the State Department as a memento of the celebration and as a token of your appreciation and as a pledge of New York's devotion to the Government of the United States. Very sincerely yours, Wm. H. Taft. To the Hudson-Fulton Celebrati n Commission of the State of New York. The Tribune Building, New York, N. Y. Letter to Queen JVilhchnina, Requesting an Audience. Following is a copy of the letter sent to Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands recjuesting an audience for the presentation of the official gold medal : THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Headquarters : The Tribune Building, New York, N. Y. November 10, igog. Her Majesty. Wilhelmina, Queen of The Netherlands. Your Majesty. — I am charged by the Trustees of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission of the State of New York with the agreeable duty of expressing to Your Majesty the very great pleasure which this Commission and those whom it represents have derived from the par- ticipation of the people of The Netherlands, under Your Majesty's gracious encouragement, in the Celebration just closed. The Celebration was originally projected to commemor- ate the 300th aniversary of the Exploration of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson under the auspices of the United Dutch East India Company in i6og, which led to the set- tlement of this City and State by the Netherlanders ; and although to this was subsequently added the commemora- tion of the looth anniversary of the successful inaugura- 1636 Minutes of Trustees tion of Steam Navigation upon that river by Robert Ful- ton in 1807, the predominating idea throughout was the great debt which we owe to those courageous pioneers of Netherlandish blood who braved the perils of the sea and the privations of the wilderness to plant civilization on these shores three centuries ago. We feel that the liberal institutions inherited from The Netherlands in the midst of their memorable struggle for political liberty and the rights of self-government have been to our people, as they have been to yours, an important element in their unity and happiness. We desire to thank Your Majesty cordially for the message of sympathy and friendship brought by your dis- tinguished representative, the Honorable J. T. Cremer, and to assure you that it is heartily reciprocated. Our adop- tion of the old colors of The Netherlands in the Official Flag of this Commission attested our deep veneration for the traditions which bind us in ties of affection to The Netherlands and we were deeply touched by Mr. Cremer's act, at your command, in saluting with his lips this emblem of our mutual friendship. We desire also to thank Your Majesty and your people for the delegation of distinguished citizens who so worthily represented Your Majesty's Government, the Royal Navy and Army, the Municipal Governments, and the intellectual culture and commercial enterprise of your Nation. It was a great pleasure to have them as our guests, in both their representative and personal capacities, and our only regret was that their stay with us was so brief. We are grateful not only for the happy memories which this reunion with our Dutch Motherland has left to us, but also for the tangible expression of the good-will of your people, extended under the patronage of Your Majesty's Royal Consort, Prince Henrv. in the form of a reproduc- tion of the historic ship The Half Moon. This vessel, built with such affectionate care and at such generous expense, was the focus of the attention of millions of people and was the object of their most intense interest. The Half Moon, and the pictures thereof also generously sent to be placed in our public schools, will long serve as outward symbols to recall to coming generations those heartfelt sentiments of international friendship which we gladly cherish toward your Nation. Our happiness on this auspicious, occasion has been enhanced by the knowledge of the felicity and prosperity of the people of The Netherlands under your benignant December 8, 1909 ^637 reign, and particularly by the knowledge of the great bless- ing which has recently come to you and your people and which promises a happy continuance of the reign of the House of Orange. May Heaven's richest benediction rest upon Your Majesty, Your Royal Consort, the Heiress Apparent and your happy people, and may your health and prosperity be as enduring as the ties of affection which still bind the New Netherlands, under their newer name, to the Old Netherlands. With Your Majesty's permission I shall, as soon as possible after the first of December, give myself the honor of paying my respects to Your Majesty, and presenting to you the Commemorative Gold Medal which the Commis- sion is preparing for those Governments which honored us by sending vessels of their navies to the Celebration. In behalf of the Commission, I have the honor to sub- scribe myself. Your ^Majesty's faithful friend, Stewart L. Woodford, Presidoit. Attest : Henry W. Sackett, Secretary.

Headquarters : The Tribune Building, New York, N. Y. November 27, 1909. Her Majesty, Wilhelmina, Queen of The Netherlands.

And we beg you to accept it not only as a memento of the import- ant events commemorated, but also as a token of our sin- cere appreciation of the generous participation of The Netherlands in our festival. The presence of The Netherlands armored cruiser Utrecht, the gift of the fac-simile of the famous ship The Half INIoon, the attendance of the distinguished delegation of high officials and prominent individuals representing the Government and People of The Netherlands, and, above all, the messages of good-will brought from your Nation to the People of our State, were most gratifying evidences of a friendship highly prized by us. We avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our gratitude for the generous sentiments thus manifested, and to assure Your Majesty and your People that they are cordially reciprocated. The two events whose anniversaries were linked to- gether in our Celebration by their common association with the Hudson River have themselves done much to link together the Old World and the New ; for while Hudson's voyage brought to these shores the progressive European Civilization represented by The Netherlands, the demon- stration of the practicability of Steam Navigation by our Inventor, on the other hand, has brought America nearer to Europe, promoted the neighborliness of Nations and conduced to the friendly intercourse and interdependence of all peoples. In renewing to Your Majesty and the People of The Netherlands the hope that the ties of blood and tradition which have bound our two countries together so strongly for three hundred 5^ears may continue with unimpaired strength during the centuries to come, may we also express the hope that in the Congresses of the Nations to be held in coming years within your borders, the united sentiments and endeavors of your Nation and ours may conjoin to promote the Peace and Happiness of all Mankind.

Sackett, Secretary, Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Commission, No. 154 Nassau Street, New York, N. Y.: Dear Sir. — Pursuant to section 5 of article 2 of the By- laws of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, which reads : " In the absence of the President or his inability to act, one of the Vice-Presidents, to be designated by him in writing, shall perform his duties and possess his pow- 1640 Minutes of Trustees ers," I hereby designate Vice-President Herman Ridder as Acting President during my absence abroad, beginning November 30, 1909. Yours very truly, Stewart L. Woodford, President. Settlcmcjit zi'itli Charles A. Gerken Approved. The Secretary reported that during the Celebration, Mr. Charles A. Gerken had fallen from a float and received injuries, and that his claim had been settled for the sum of $250. It was voted that the settlement be approved. Limitation on Nezv Obligations. Mr. Ridder moved that no new obligations should be incurred by the Committees except with the approval of the Executive Officers. Carried. Assistant Secretary Requests Reduction of Salary. The Secretary laid before the Trustees the request of the Assistant Secretary for a reduction of his salary to $500 a month. The Secretary recalled the action of the Trustees in fixing the salary at $1,000 a month from Au- gust 1st last when the burden of work became very heavy and also spoke of the work yet to be performed by the Assistant Secretary in connection with the settlement of the Commission's affairs and in the preparation of the his- tory of the Celebration. Mr. Hall had felt, however, that the Trustees should be given the opportunity to retrench in the expenses of the headquarters, and, therefore, asked that his salary be reduced to $500 a month from December 1st. Mr. Phillips, Chairman of the Auditing Committee, said that he did not think this reduction should be made. He spoke of the small compensation given the Assistant Sec- retary during the first two or three years of the Commis- sion's work, the character of his services as indicated by the President's remarks and the personal knowledge of the December 8, 1909 1641 executive officers, and the responsible duties yet to be performed, and he moved that the salary be continued at the present rate until the further order of the Board. Mr. Ridder seconded the motion. After a brief discussion, Mr. Phillips' motion was car- ried unanimously. Dcatli of Mr. John R. Wan JVonucr and Hon. Charles H. Gaits. The Chairman asked the Trustees to rise while he per- formed the painful duty of announcing the death of Mr. John R. \'an Wormer, which occurred at his residence in New York city on October 27, and the death of the Hon. Charles H. Gaus, which occurred at a hunting lodge on IjDng lake in the Laurentian mountains, Province of Oue- bee, Canada, on October 31, 1909. Mr. Van Wormer was appointed a member of the Com- mission by the Mayor of New York on April 28, 1908, and was a member of the Half Moon Committee in recogni- tion of his old Dutch ancestry. He was born in Adams, Jefferson county, N. Y., March 14, 1849, ^"^1 was edu- cated in the Adams Military Academy. From Colgate University he received the honorary degree of Master of Arts. For many years he sustained confidential relations, as private secretary, with men of national reputation, in- cluding Roscoe Conkling and Thomas L. James. At the time of his death he was vice-president and general man- ager of the Lincoln Safe Deposit and Warehouse Co. and vice-president of the Brooklyn Warehouse and Storage Co. He was a Republican in politics and was well known as a public speaker and writer. Mr. Gaus was born of German parents in Zanesville, Ohio. September i, 1840, moved in 1842 to Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was educated; thence in 1857 to Albany where he learned the drug business. During the Civil War he enlisted in the 91st N. Y. Volunteers and was de- tailed to the hospital service with rank of hospital steward. A few years after the war he returned to Albany and re- sumed the business of druggist. He had many other busi- 1642 Minutes of Trustees ness connections, however, and enjoyed many public hon- ors at the hands of his fellow citizens, including those of mayor for eight years and Comptroller of the State. For twenty-seven years he was a member of the National Guard. He became a member of the Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Commission ex-ofificio as mayor of Albany, May 6, 1908, which office he held until he became Comptroller of the State of New York on January i, 1909. On March 3, 1909, he was appointed a member of the Commission by Governor Hughes and was a member of the Upper Hudson Committee. He was one of the most devoted members of the Commission and in his private and official capacities did much to facilitate its plans. Hon. Morgan J. O'Brien Elected Vice-President. Mr. Ridder moved that the Hon. Morgan J. O'Brien be elected a Vice-President to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Wm. B. Van Rensselaer. Carried. Mr. L. C. Raegener and Mr. G. C. Fry Elected Trustees. Mr. Ridder moved that Mr. Louis C. Raegener, who re- signed as a Trustee on August 11, 1909 (page 1357), while abroad in order that his place might be filled by an active member, be re-elected to the Board. Carried. Mr. Ridder also moved that Mr. George Gardiner Fry, Chairman of the sub-committee on the permanent em- placement of the Half Moon and Clermont, be elected a Trustee. Carried. Aquatic Sports and Naval Parade Reports. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a communication from Captain A. B. Fry, Chairman of the Committee on Aquatic Sports, dated November 9, transmitting a report on the races at New York, Yonkers and Newburgh, held under the auspices of that Committee. The Secretary also laid before the Board the final report of the Naval Parade Committee, transmitted by Captain Jacob W. Miller, Chairman, under date of December 7. These reports, on account of their length, were received December 8, 1909 1643 and ordered on file for embodiment in the history of the Celebration. Captain Miller's request for an appropriation of $250 for the publication of the Naval Parade report separately was laid on the table. Public Health and Convenience Report. The courtesy of the floor was granted to Mr. John R. Eustis, Secretary of the Committee on Public Health and Convenience, who presented the following report in be- half of Dr. Eugene H. Porter, Chairman : December 8, 1909. Gentlemen. — Shortly after its organization, your Com- mittee on Public Health and Convenience submitted de- tailed plans covering the operation of Medical Emergency Stations. Comfort Stations, Rest Stations and Information Bureaus. These plans, together with certain additions which were presented from time to time, were approved by you. As Chairman of your Committee on Public Health and Convenience, I now have the honor to submit the follow- ing report covering the work which we performed during the Celebration, all of which was the result of several months of arduous and careful preparation. The degree of success which rewarded our efiforts and the part our work played in the Celebration as a whole I leave to your judgment for decision. Medical Emergency Stations: During the Celebra- tion twenty-three Field Hospitals, sixty-two First Aid Stations and one Ambulance Launch were operated under the supervision of our Committee. The Field Hospitals and First Aid Stations were located along the route of the land parades and along the Manhattan shore of the Hudson River. The former were provided with twelve cots each, a complete surgical and therapeutic equipment and manned by at least three doctors, six nurses, as many orderlies and in many instances a corps of litter bearers. The First Aid Stations were in reality miniature Field Hospitals, although only operated during the hours of the parades. One thousand and sixty-six cases were received and treated at our Medical Stations during the Celebration, ranging from syncope to obstetrics and including limb frac- ture, amputation and heart disease. Not one resulted fa- 1644 Minutes of Trustees ♦ally and so complete were our facilities that it was nec- essary to remove only a few serious cases to the regular hospitals. In this connection it is well to note that the death rate in New York City for the week of the Celebra- tion was lower than it had been for six months, despite the addition of two million visitors to the city's normal popu- lation. It is a fact, recognized by physicians, that many lives are lost in being rushed over rough streets to hospi- tals which could have been saved had proper facilities been available near the scene of accident. Too much credit cannot be given to The New York County Branch of The Red Cross Society and to The Na- tional Volunteer Emergency Service, the organizations which manned and equipped our Medical Stations, and to the Police Department which controlled the ambulance ser- vice, including the ambulances which were volunteered by private interests at the request of our Committee. Comfort Stations: According to the reports made by the Attendants of the Thirteen Comfort Stations which we built, 319,822 people made use of the same during the eight days and nights they were in operation. During the hours of the parades these stations were so crowded (in several instances with waiting lines a half block and more in length) that it was impossible for the Attendants to keep accurate count and we believe that nearly if not a half million people used these Comfort Stations. We made no attempt to count, nor do we care to estimate, the number of people using the toilet facilities in buildings which we succeeded in having placed at the service of the general pub- lic during the Celebration and which were marked by our Comfort Station flags. We have heard nothing but praise about the Comfort Stations. They were commodious, well arranged and equip- ped and kept at all times in a perfectly sanitary condition. Temporary stations of this character are often justly criti- cised as public nuisances. Rest Stations : We succeeded in having one hundred and fifty-four Churches open from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. dur- ing the Celebration as Rest Stations. At most of these Churches Attendants were on duty to minister to those in need. At some, organ recitals were given late in the after- noon and in the evenings. Information Bureaus: Our Committee prepared a sixteen page Information Booklet and distributed 178,000 copies previous to the opening of the Celebration, the major portion of which were out ten days in advance, or December 8, 1909 1645 by September I5tb. This distribution was made througli the Railroads and Sound and Hudson River Steamboat Companies. Practically every ticket office within a radius of four hundred and fifty miles of this City had these book- lets on hand and placards posted calling attention to the same. One railroad which distributed 48,000 copies, placed 20.000 west of Buffalo. In addition, the Central Information Bureau which our Committee conducted at its headquarters, sent out 6,300 booklets in the mail, and the branch bureaus, operated from September 24th to September 30th at twelve rail- road and steamboat terminals, gave out 45.420. Our Information Bureaus supplied 54,278 people with the names of boarding houses and hotels. The requests which were made for information covered a wide range and we are gratified that our attendants were able to fill their difficult positions in a manner which occasioned no criticism. We attach hereto copies of our Information Booklet, the instructions governing the operation of our various stations and the report blanks for the same, architect plans of our Comfort Stations and our various flags and brassards. Yours very truly, Eugene H. Porter, Chairman. The report was received and ordered on file. Expctiditurc for Binding Catalogues Authorised. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a letter from Dr. Kunz to Mr. Ridder, dated October 28, igog, requesting an appropriation of $400 or $500 for the binding of 500 sets of books published by the museums and for their dis- tribution to public institutions in America and abroad. Mr. Ridder had authorized the expenditure and a resolu- tion was passed approving his action. Banquet Committee Report. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a letter from Mr. Francis Lynde Stetson, Chairman of the Banquet Com- mittee, dated December 3, igog, reading as follows : 1646 Minutes of Trustees New York, December 3, 1909. To the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission : As Chairman of the Banquet Committee I have the honor herewith to submit the account of the receipts and expenditures on account of the banquet, with vouchers in support thereof. The total amount received by me was $26,069 74 and the total costs paid by me Vv'ere 19,694 06 Leaving a balance of $6,375 68 for which I transmit herewith a cheque to the order of the Commission. As against this amount the Treasurer of the Commis- sion is paying for the decorations ($5,000), for the invita- tions and menus ($5,070) and for the medals distributed to our guests. Thus there will result a considerable de- ficiency. This deficiency has resulted from the fact that the dif- ference between 1,289 dinners paid for (1,084 ^^ $20 and 205 for state officers and legislators) and the 1,891 dinners actually furnished, represents 602 dinners provided for the honorary guests of the Commission including naval offi- cers and those rendering assistance, for which dinners, of course, no charge was made. I am. Respectfully yours, Francis Lynde Stet.son, Chainnau. The report was received and ordered on file. Report of Senator AUds on Legislative Expenses. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a letter from Mr. Stetson transmitting a statement from the Hon. Jothani P. Allds concerning the disbursements made from the fund of $25,000 set aside by chapter 448 of the Laws of 1909 " for such of the expenses, exclusive of traveling expenses, as shall be necessarily incurred in the participation by the Governor, his staff, the elective State officers and the niem- bers of the Legislature in their attendance upon the in- vitation of the Commission at said Celebration and the ex- December 8, 1909 1647 ercises connected therewith." These expenditures, amount- ing to $22,293.68, were made directly by the State Treas- urer upon the audit of the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly, and not through the Treasurer of this Commission. Received and ordered on file. Following is a copy of Senator Allds' report: November 17, 1909. Hon. James Wendell, Third Deputy Comptroller, Albany, N. Y. My Dear Sir. — As the officer in charge of the Audit Department. I desire to file with you the final voucher closing up the Hudson-Fulton Commission's Sub-Commit- tee's account of money spent out of the original appropria- tion of $25,000 allotted for the entertainment and expenses, other than traveling, of the Governor, Legislature and State officers. Originally, upon my personal receipt as Chairman, your Department advanced $12,000. On November i6th I made a further requisition upon you for the sum of $1,733.13, making a total to be accounted for of $13,733-13 as received at your hands. I am, however, also bound to account for the additional sum of $188.20 because under date of October 25th I am in receipt of a check from Hon. Francis Lynde Stetson, Chair- man of the Banquet Committee for $188.20 — being a re- bate on account of banquet tickets which of course would increase the amount actually expended under sub-voucher No. I, so that for the purpose of stating the account I charge myself, as Chairman of the Committee, as follows : Received from Comptroller and deposited September 27th at the National City Bank, New York city.. . $12,000 00 Received from Comptroller, November 17th i,733 I3 Received from Francis Lynde Stetson, Chairman of the Banquet Committee 188 20 $13,921 33 (Above checks deposited at National City Bank) I discharge myself by the following sub- vouchers, each of which has been, as provided by the statute, approved by the President Pro Tern of the Senate and the Speaker of 1648 Minutes of Trustees the Assembly; sub-vouchers being numbered and corre- sponding to the number of the check drawn against the above principal sum.

But the actual sum is of course $22,105.48 because that the rebate check from Stetson amounting to $188.20 appears on both sides of the account. Yours truly, J. P. Allds, Chairman. Removal of Bridge at Water Gate Authorised. In behalf of Captain Miller, Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee, the Secretary offered the following reso- lutions : Whereas, The agreement of July 21, IQ09, between the Department of Parks and the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission provides that the bridge and its approaches over the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad tracks, connecting Riverside Drive with the ofificial pier at One Hundred and Tenth street shall be removed promptly, and Whereas, The agreement of July 30, 1909, between the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company and the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission also re- quires that it shall be removed prior to January i, 1910, and the contract with the Snare & Triest Company states that that corporation has the right to remove the bridge ninety days from September 2Sth, and Whereas, The location granted by the Legislature to Columbia University, and to the Robert Fulton Monument Association at or near One Hundred and Sixteenth street is a much more advantageous situation for a water gate and other marine improvement proposed by Columbia Uni- versity and the Robert Fulton Monument Association, and 1650 Minutes of Trustees Whereas, Those organizations are actively engaged in the attempt to develop and build structures which among other purposes can be used for the proper reception of guests from our own and foreign fleets, and Whereas, The foot of One H-indred and Tenth street, North River, is not suitable as a site for an armory of the First Battalion, Naval Militia, N. Y., or as a station for the nautical schoolship of New York, Therefore be it Resolved, That the Naval Parade Com- mittee be instructed to remove the bridge and its approaches over the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company's tracks on or before December 25, 1909. Be it further Resolved, That this Commission is in hearty accord with the aims of Columbia University, Robert Ful- ton Monument Association, Naval Militia of the State, and other organizations which are endeavoring to retain, for the uses of the public, all the stretch of water front lying between Ninety-sixth street and One Hundred and Twenty- ninth street for the perpetual use of the people, and that this Commission will assist* the above organizations, and such others, as may be in accord with the above mentioned plan in their laudable efforts looking towards the reclaim- ing of the shoals to the pier head line, the placing thereon a monument to Fulton, an armory for the naval forces of the State, a stadium for the use of the people, and such other buildings or structures as may be essential and proper considering the end in view, the necessity of adequate landing places having been proven by the late Celebration, and for the reason that the expense of rebuilding them on the occasion of future celebrations will be avoided if per- manent marine improvements were established there for all time to come. Resolved further. That the Acting President, the Secre- tary, the Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee, and Mr. F. B. Dalzell. be appointed a committee of four to act in connection with the organizations above mentioned look- ing towards the desired results presented in these resolu- tions. Colonel Satterlee called attention to the fact that the resolution did not say what was to become of the bridge when removed. He said that he thought that part of the * The word " assist " was subsequently changed to " extend its moral support to." December 8, 1909 1651 bridge, piling and sheathing at the water gate could be used advantageously for the permanent harbor for the Half Moon and Clermont. Judge Higley thought that the wording of the second resolution implied a financial obligation. He moved that it be amended so as to change the word " assist " to " ex- tend its moral support to" (as indicated on the preceding page). The amendment was accepted. Mr. Tuckerman thought that as the Commission already had several undertakings on hand it would weaken the Commission's power to commit itself to the project for the new water-gate. After some further discussion the resolutions, as amended, were adopted. Disposition of the Official Landing. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a communication from Captain Miller dated November 15, 1909, asking ad- vice as to whether the Commission should or should not attempt to keep the official landing (or temporary water gate) at One Hundred and Tenth street and Riverside Park, with its approaches, or attempt to turn the pier it- self over to the city and thus relieve the Commission of any further responsibility in the matter. The Secretary moved that the question be referred to the Joint Committee, consisting of the Half Moon Committee, the Clermont Committee and the Executive Officers, to- gether with the Chairman of the Naval Parade Committee, for further consideration and recommendation. Carried. Emplacement of tJie Half Moon and Clermont. Colonel Satterlee, Chairman of the Half Moon Commit- tee, reported that the Half Moon was still at the Navy Yard, well cared for. The Half Moon Committee was participating in the deliberations of the joint committee concerning the permanent location of the Half Moon atrl Clermont. The joint committee had appointed a sub-com- mittee of which Mr. George Gardiner Fry was chairman, and he suggested that Mr. Fry be heard. From the point 1652 Minutes of Trustees I of view of the Half Moon Committee, Colonel Satterlee thought that in order to carry out the spirit and intent of the donors, the Commission should place the Half Moon as near as possible to the heart of the people of the city, but, like Davy Crockett, " we want to be sure we are right and then go ahead." Mr. George Gardiner Fry said that the joint committee on the emplacement of the Half Moon and Clermont had met soon after its appointment and appointed a sub-com- mittee to consider the various recommendations ; and he had been designated to consider the site recommended at Spuyten Duyvil. They thought it practicable to secure a site on the Hudson River in alignment with the Hudson Monument. They had obtained from the Along the Hud- son Company an option to purchase for $22,500 a piece of land 50 feet wide from Palisade Avenue to the railroad track and an ellipse from 125 to 175 feet in diameter west of the track, extended by v/ater grants 500 to 600 feet. Through the Hon. James L. Wells and Mr. Berrian, they had secured an appraisal of the property at $20,700, ap- proximately the same valuation as that of the owners. They then went to Mr. John G. Van Horn, who, at much labor, had generously prepared, without expense, a plan for the basin and approach. Then they went to several persons and had already obtained the underwriting of about $10,- oco of the cost of the land. In reply to questions as to the total cost of construct- ing the basin and approach, Mr. Fry said that the property would cost $22,500. The temporary basin at One Hun- dred and Tenth street had cost $25,397 ^"^ experts said that it would not withstand the ice-floes of winter. The permanent basin would probably cost from $30,000 to $40,- 000. Then there would be the cost of the bridge over the railroad track and the path. The site upon which the op- tion had been obtained was about 700 yards north of Spuy- ten Duyvil Creek and a hundred feet north of the site formerly proposed — a much better place, secured through the acumen of Colonel Satterlee. It was situated in a December 8, 1909 1653 beautiful, park-like vicinity, with no offensive structure in sight, and on restricted property. Colonel Satterlee said that the Committee did not know yet whether it could raise the money or not ; but it felt that if the Half Moon were left stowed away out of sight and inaccessible, it might just as well be in a storage ware- house. The Commission could not spend the money for the project recommended, but if individuals wanted to pro- vide the means, they should be given an opportunity. If the site is approved, the Committee can proceed with the work of securing the underwriting. If the One Hundred and Tenth street bridge is not given away, part of it could be used at the new site. It was extremely desirable to pro- vide some plan for the Half Moon and Clermont so that the public could go up next April and see them. The nearest railroad stations were the Spuyten Duyvil station on the New York Central railroad and the Two Hundred and Thirtieth street station of the subway. Mr. Gregory inquired who would take the title to the property if acquired. Colonel Satterlee said that the title should be taken by the Commission. When the Commission should cease to exist, the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, specially chartered by the State and already cus- todian of five State properties, stood ready to receive and take care of the basin and vessels, as indicated in a letter dated November 12 which he had received from a commit- tee of that Society. In answer to a question about the water rights, the Secre- tary said that from several years' former residence at River- dale he was familiar with the subject and explained that the riparian rights run 700 feet from high water mark; and that the Hudson River railroad took 100 feet, leaving 600 feet to the private owners. He thought the site proposed was admirable. The subject was further discussed by Mr. Ridder, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Bergen, Judge Higley, and Colonel Vrooman. At length the following resolution, embodying the sugges- 1654 Minutes of Trustees tions of Mr. Gregory and Judge Higley and expressing the views of the joint committee, was adopted: Resolved, That the report of the Joint Committee on the permanent emplacement of the Half Moon and Clermont be received and placed on file ; and that the site on the Hud- son river, on the westerly side of Palisade avenue, oppo- site the site of the Hudson Monument at Spuyten Dnyvil, New York City, recommended therein, be designated is the one most appropriate for the purpose. Adjustment With Redficld Brothers. Mr. Bergen, Chairman of the Memorials Committee, re- ported in the matter of the question of royalties from the Redfield Brothers, publishers of the programme, etc., which was referred to the Memorials Committee with power, that after holding several meetings of the Committee and after having several interviews with Mr. J. F. Redfield, the Com- mittee decided that it would be best for the interests of the Commission to accept the last offer made by Mr. Redfield, namely, to pay the Commission $2,000 in full of all de- mands for royalties and as a complete settlement, the Com- mission to waive all further royalties and Redfield Brothers to dispose of the publications on hand as they see fit. The Memorials Committee also advised that the Hudson-Fulton Com.mission recommend the said publications for purposes of sale to the public. Judge Higley moved that the report be received with thanks and that the recommendations be approved. Carried. At this point. General Wilson invited Colonel Satterlee to take the Chair. Badges, Flag and Poster Committee Report. The Secretary laid before the Trustees a report from Mr. Jaccaci, Chairman of the Committee on Badges, Flag and Poster, as follows: " There are on hand 70 Commissioners' badges and 84 Citizens' badges. Since the last report 26 Commissioners' badges and 11 Citizens' badges have been sold as per the enclosed statement and there is a balance in bank in favor I December 8, 1909 1655 of the Commission amounting to $77.00. Your Committee expects your instructions as to the disposal of the remain- ing badges but proposes that a commissioner badge be pre- sented to each one of the five correspondent councillors who have given this committee valuable help, to Mr. Edwin H. Blashfield who designed the poster and to Mr. Chester Beach who modeled the medal of the badge. The three sets of dies for the medal of the badge have not as yet been distributed. Your committee proposes that one set be pre- sented to the Numismatic Society, one to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and one to the Historical Society." The report was received and ordered on file. Public Safety Committee's Business Concluded. The Secretary reported for Commissioner McCarroll, Chairman of the Committee on Public Safety, that the busi- ness of that Committee had been closed up except one small bill which was in dispute. Next Business Meeting January 26, 1910. A brief discussion ensued as to the date of the next business meeting of the Board. In view of the fact that the date for the next regular meeting comes in Christmas week, it was agreed that the meeting for December 22d would be called pro forma in accordance with the by-laws, with the understanding that in the absence of a quorum the meeting would be adjourned until the next regular date, January 26, 1910, unless previously called by the President. The meeting then adjourned. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary.

Seligman Co $26,755 97 The report was received and ordered printed in the min- utes and the approval of the payment of bills mentioned therein which had not previously been approved was de- ferred until the next meeting. The Secretary requested and was given permission to record in the minutes that the payments made to any mem- ber of the Commission mentioned on pages 1599 to 1627 February 2, 19 10 1679 other than assistants to the Secretary were for disbursements made by them as chairmen of committees for expenses neces- sarily incurred in behalf of the Commission. The Secretary recalled the fact that the Charter of the Commission pro- vided that ■' None of the Trustees or members of said Com- mission, except one or more assistants to the Secretary, shall receive any compensation for services, nor shall any of them be pecuniarily interested directly or indirectly in any contract relating to the affairs of said Commission.'' He added that this explanation was due to those members of the Commission who had generously made pecuniary advances in order to facilitate the work of the Commis- sion and whose names, in the brevity of the printed finan- cial report, appeared without any further explanation. Subscription Fund Acknoxvledgments. All contributions made to the Subscription Fund of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission from December 28, 1905, to February 2, iqio. are hereby gratefully acknowl- edged. The following list includes the subscriptions made to the Hudson Ter-Centenary Joint Committee before the incorporation of the Commission, April 2^, 1906. The odd amounts of $1, $11, $111, etc., in several cases are due to the fact that in December, 1905, the members were requested to contribute $10 each for current needs before the State had made any appropriation ; and in December, 1907, they were invited to contribute $1 each toward the payment of certain printing bills which could not be paid out of State Funds. Still later, in many instances, they enlarged their subscriptions for the general expenses of the Celebration by contributions of round amounts. All funds other than State Funds and City Funds re- ceived by the Commission have been entered in its Sub- scription Fund books. In order that the totals of this printed list may agree with the totals on the Subscription Fund books of the Commission, certain refunds, proceeds of sales, etc. deposited in the Subscription Fund account, are appended at the end of the list of subscriptions. i68o Minutes of Trustees For typographical convenience in printing, the odd cents in about a dozen cases have been omitted in the list of sub- scriptions but are mentioned in footnotes and embodied in the entry of " odd cents " on page 1692.

The Secretary reported that on December 28th, General Woodford presented to Her Majesty, The Queen of the Netherlands, the official gold medal mentioned on pages 1628 and 1629 of the printed minutes. A copy of the let- ter accompanying the medal is printed on pages 1637-1639 of the minutes. The Secretary stated that General Woodford had written that he had received the most hospitable welcome from the yueen and the people of The Netherlands. Among other attentions shown him were an invitation to a dinner given by the Queen at the Palace at The Hague, an invitation to the Court Ball and an invitation to an official dinner and reception by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. General Woodford was also the guest of the Burgomaster of Am- sterdam while in that city. On Wednesday, January 12th, Emperor William of Ger- many gave General Woodford an audience on the occasion of the presentation of the official gold medal to the German Government. The following is a copy of the letter accom- panying the medal : 1696 Minutes of Trustees THE IIUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Headquarters : The Tribune Building, New York, N. Y. 4 November 27, 1909. His Majesty. Wilhehn II, German Emperor, King of Prussia. Your Majesty. — In behalf of the Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Commission of the State of New York, the under- signed Executive Officers have the honor to present to the Government of the German Empire an Official Gold Medal struck by the Commission in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the Discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609 ^^'^ the looth anniversary of the successful inauguration of Steam Navigation upon that River by Robert Fulton in 1807. We beg you to accept this Medal and to cause it to be placed in the archives of your Government as a memento of the two events commemorated, one of which led to the coming of European Civilization to what is now the State of New York, and the other of which has promoted the commerce and mutual intercourse of all Nations. We also ask you to accept it as a token of friendship and an evidence of our sincere appreciation of the generous participation of the German Government in our Festival. We thank Your Majesty for the sympathy and good- will manifested by Yourself and your Nation in the presence of your distinguished delegate Gross-admiral von Koester. your superb naval vessels Viktoria Luise, Hertha, and Bremen, with their Officers and crews, and your Diplomatic and Consular representatives at our Celebration. And we are particularly grateful to Your Majesty for the message of Friendship which was delivered by Gross-admiral von Koester, and which we heartily reciprocate. The ties which unite our two Nations are deep-rooted and of long standing. We cannot forget that while our tongues speak another language, our blood comes ultimately from that great Germanic fount which has fertilized so vast a field of the world's civilization. In many ways, by more direct transfusion, we have been strengthened from the same source. From the days of our infant colonies when the sturdy German emigrants settled in peaceful in- dustry upon the banks of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers ; I February 2, 1910 1697 through our struggle for National Independence in which our Washington had the invaluable help of Frederick the Great's aide-de-camp, Baron von Steuben ; down to the present time when about one-fourth of the population of New York City is of German nativity or parentage, our debt to your people has steadily increased. With a popula- tion so varied as ours, we may truly say that our State, as well as our Nation, has many Fatherlands, among which the German Fatherland will always be cherished warmly in our affections and will always hold a high place in our respect. We trust that these sentiments of our mutual esteem so highly prized by us will continue, and grow stronger if possible, in the years to come, and we indulge the hope that not only between Germany and the United States, but also between all the Governments whose fleets honored us so conspicuously by their presence at our Festival, the memories of that friendly gathering may strengthen all international ties and promote the fraternity of all nations. With renewed thanks for the distinguished consideration shown by Your Majesty's Government to our State and City, we have the honor to remain with great respect. Your Majesty's faithful friends, Stewart L. Woodford, President. ■ Andrew Carnegie, Joseph H. Choate, Frederick D. Grant, Seth Low, J. Pierpont Morgan, Levi P. Morton, Alton B. Parker. John E.

He expressed great pleasure at receiving the medal and the address to His Majesty over the signatures of the officers of the Com- mission. He begged the President to convey to his asso- ciates his warmest thanks and to say that the medal was accepted as a memento of two memorable events of the greatest importance in the development of New York city and the United States as a whole. He said that he had heard with great satisfaction from Gross-admiral von Koester how well the German vessels had been received by the Commission and the American people. Their officers and men had returned filled with gratification at their re- ception in New York and praising American hospitality. Continuing, he said : " I sincerely hope that the Hudson-Fulton Celebration has formed a new link in the chain uniting our two kindred na- tions, which already are bound together by so many strong ties." At the conclusion of his formal expressions the Emperor addressed General Woodford personally, saying that he was glad to see him in Germany and to make his acquaint- ance after he had read and heard liow well he had fulfilled the arduous and honorable task imposed upon him in con- nection with the celebration. He then conferred upon the General the Crown Order of the First Class. General Woodford writes : " The Kaiser talked with Am- bassador Hill and myself for fully three-quarters of an hour ; gave me the Cross, Cordon and Star of the Kronen Order ; had me bidden to the service in the Royal Chapel and to the great breakfast in the White Saal at the Orden- fest and received me at Court. He could not have been kinder." The Secretary also reported that the Kaiser had taken this occasion to honor the Acting President of the Commission, Mr. Ridder, by sending to him through the New York Con- sulate, with his signature, a large framed oil portrait of WILHELM II, GERMAN EMPEROR. KING OF PRUSSIA From the large oil painting by Philipp Laszlo presented by His Majesty to Mr. Herman Ridder, Acting President of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission February 2, 1910 1699 himself by the great Hungarian portrait painter, Philipp Laszlo. Mr. Ridder was advised of this in the following letter : IMPERIAL GERMAN CONSULATE, New York. January 12, 1910. My dear Mr. Ridder. — It gives me great pleasure to notify you that His Majesty, The Emperor and King, has been good enough to present you with his portrait as a token of his esteem for services rendered during the Hud- son-Fulton Memorial. As soon as the picture arrives I shall notify you. Expressing my sincerest congratulations for this distinc- tion I have the honor to remain Very truly yours, R. Franksen, Imperial Consul-GencraL The announcement of the Imperial recognition of Mr. Ridder's services was received with repeated applause. The Secretary also reported that on January 3d he had despatched to the Department of State at Washington, for transmission to the Governments of Mexico and the Argen- tine Republic, the medals and addresses designed for those Governments. Under date of January loth, the Department had ac- knowledged the receipt of the testimonials and said : " In fulfillment of the promise previously made to you, the let- ters and medals will be forwarded in the diplomatic pouches to the Embassy at Mexico and the Legation at Buenos Ayres with instructions to transmit them to their high destinations." Stereopticon Viczcs Presented to Educational Institutions. The Assistant Secretary reported that after conference with the Hon. Samuel Parsons. Chairman of the Children's Festivals Committee, the Secretary had sent to the following ramed educational and historical institutions, one each of 1700 Minutes of Trustees the seventy sets of stereopticon views prepared at the ex- pense of the Commission for the lectures in New York city during the Celebration : Albany Albany Institute of Arts and Sciences. Albany State Board of Education. Auburn Cayuga County Historical Society. Aurora Wells College. Buffalo Buffalo Historical Society. Clinton Hamilton College. Elmira Elmira College. Geneva Hobart College. Hamilton Colgate University, Ithaca Cornell University. Niagara Falls . . . Niagara University. Poughkeepsie. . . . Vassar College. Schenectady Union University.

New York City. New York Zoological Garden. New York Citj. Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. New York City. St. Francis Xavier College. The Assistant Secretary moved that this disposition of the stereopticon views be approved, and that thirty-Rve sets be presented to the Board of Education of the City of New York. Carried. February 2, 1910 1701 Presentation of Half Moon Pictures to ScJwoIs. The Assistant Secretary asked the Trustees for their advice as to the manner in which the Commission should present to the puhlic schools the lithographic reproductions of Mr. Gerodus Mathias Kraay's water color drawing of the Half Moon, given to the Commission by Mr. J. T. Cremer and others, as mentioned on page 1474 of the min- utes. He stated that these pictures had not yet been pre- sented for two reasons : At present the pictures are unmounted and are rolled up in paste-board tubes, and if sent individually to the schools they would probably be tacked up on the wall and remain in place only a few weeks, whereas General Woodford had suggested that if the funds of the Commission warranted it after the Cele- bration, the pictures might be framed before delivery. The second reason for the delay had been that the Secretary's office had been occupied with other details and it had not been decided whether it would be best to have the pictures presented by a committee of the Commission to the indi- vidual schools with an historical address in each case, or whether to send them in bulk to the Board of Education. He also called attention to the fact that the representatives of the Commission in Poughkeepsie, Newburgh and Troy had expressed a desire to have some of these pictures for the schools in those cities and that in one case at least the Commissioner had offered to have them framed at his own expense. It was voted that the question of presenting these pictures to the public schools be referred to the Committee on Me- morials with power. Walenkamp's Painting of the Half Moon Returned. The Assistant Secretary reported for record in the min- utes that at the meeting of the Trustees on December 15, 1909 (page 1489), Mr. Bergen reported that Mr. Kraay desired to present to the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Com- mission his original painting of the Half Moon and the picture was accepted with thanks. A few days after this announcement, notice was received from the Holland 1702 Minutes of Trustees America Line that it had received from Holland a case con- taining a painting consigned to the Commission. Assum- ing that this was the painting referred to by Mr. Bergen, the Assistant Secretary arranged with J. W. Hampton, Jr. & Co., Customs Brokers, to attend to the entry of the pic- ture at the Customs House and the necessary affidavits were made for the free entry of the painting for educational purposes. The painting was, therefore, delivered to the New York Historical Society as custodian of the archives of the Commission. While this was being done, a letter dated September 14th was received from Mr. H. J. M. Vvalenkamp of Plantage-Muidergracht 9, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, stating that he had sent on an oil painting of the Half Aloon executed upon wood and requesting us to place it upon exhibition for sale. On October 6th, we ad- vised Mr. Walenkamp that this Commission could not un- dertake the sale of his picture and that the picture remained at the New York Historical Society subject to his risk and that when it passed from our custody into private owner- ship it would become subject to United States Custom charges. Under date of November 3, 1909, Mr. Walen- kamp wrote us expressing his regret at the misunderstand- ing and again inviting our assistance in disposing of the picture. On November i6th we wrote to him reiterating that we could not act as a sales agency for him and request- ing him to engage a suitable representative to attend to his affairs. Since that date nothing has been heard from Mr. Walenkamp, but after correspondence with the Col- lector of the Port of New York on the subject, the latter advised us, under date of January 24th, " that the matter can best be adjusted by having the New York Historical Society, in whose name the entry was made, export said picture to Amsterdam, whereupon the bond given by them, against which $150 duties have been charged, will be canceled." In accordance with this advice, and on January 25, 1910, the Assistant Secretary requested the New York Historical Society to export the picture to Mr. Walenkamp, with the / / February 2, 1910 1703 assistance of J. W. Hampton, Jr., Si Co.. Customs Brokers, and Mr. Walenkamp was informed on the same date of this disposition in the matter. The Assistant Secretary added that Mr. Kraay's water- color drawing was at present in the custody of the Secretary. Price of Souvenir PuhUcations.

The immediate and generous response was a sufficient indication of the unanimity of the sentiment designed to be expressed by the testimonials. As the Commission had restricted the striking of the Official Medal in gold, like those presented to the Govern- ments, the Committee had two medals of Alaska gold, three inches in diameter, struck from dies cut for this purpose from the models designed by Mr. Chester Beach for the medallion of the Official Badge. At the same time a third medal was struck in bronze for the sculptor. No others were struck from these dies, and the testimonials are there- fore unique. Upon the edges of the two gold medals were engraved the following inscriptions respectively : " A TOKEN OF APPRFXIATION FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION TO HERMAN RIDDER, ACTING PRESIDENT, FOR HIS VALUABLE SER- VICES, I905-I9IO." "a token OF APPRECIATION FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION TO HENRY WOODWARD SACKETT, SECRETARY, FOR HIS VALUABLE SERVICES I905-I9IO." The medals were inclosed in leather cases which were respectively stamped : and " HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION. HERMAN RIDDER, I905-I9IO." HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION. HENRY WOODWARD SACKETT, I905-I9IO. Replicas of the obverse and reverse of the medals, mounted in frames to be hung in the libraries of the re- cipients, were also prepared. The following letters were beautifully engrossed and il- luminated in book form to accompany the testimonials : I750 Minutes of Trustees 30 EAST 64TH STREET, NEW YORK. To the Hon. Herman Ridder. March 10, 1910. Dear Air. Ridder. — The deHghtful privilege has been ac- corded to us by members of the Hudson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission, whose names are hereto attached, to pre- sent to you on their behalf the accompanying medal in gold, which they hope you will accept not only as a sou- venir of the Celebration, but as an evidence of their high appreciation of the great service rendered by you to the Commission. The medal presented is an enlargement of the Official Badge. Your friends felt that they had no authority to use the official die of the Commission, and as their wish was to pay to you a personal tribute of respect and regard, they have caused this medal to be struck for the purpose. We wish we could convey to you a sense of the cordiality with which every one has responded to the proposal. It is clear that your long and public-spirited labor of love for the City of New York in helping so superbly, as Acting Presi- dent of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, to carry to success that Celebration, has won for you a host of friends, whose admiration for your courage, your energy, your enthusiasm, and your faith in the success of the enter- prise, is only second to their high personal regard for you as a man. On behalf of the members of the Commission who have had the privilege of taking part in this tribute. We have the honor to be, Yours very sincerely, Seth Low, Chairman, William Berri, George F.

Dear Colonel Sackett. — The delightful privilege has been accorded to us by members of the Hudson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission, whose names are hereto attached, to pre- sent to you on their behalf the accompanying medal in gold, which they hope you will accept not only as a souvenir of the Celebration, but as an evidence of their high ap- 1752 Minutes of Trustees preciation of the great service rendered by you to the Commission. The medal presented is an enlargement of the Official Badge. Your friends felt that they had no authority to use the official die of the Commission, and as their wish was to pay to you a personal tribute of respect and regard, they have caused this medal to be struck for the purpose. We wish we could convey to you a sense of the cor- diality with which every one has responded to the pro- posal. It is clear that your long and public-spirited labor of love for the City of New York in helping to carry to success the Hudson-Fulton Celebration has won for you a host of friends. Your associates of the Commission fully appreciate the unique contribution which you made to the success of the Celebration. They understand, in an im- perfect way, what it means to give, as you have given, many months of your time to the patient handling of one perplexing cjuestion after another. It has been to them at all times a source of satisfaction to know that the work of the Secretary of the Commission has been in hands so entirely competent and safe; and most of them are your debtors for much personal courtesy and consideration. ■ On behalf of the members of the Commission who have had the privilege of taking part in this tribute, We have the honor to be. Yours very sincerely, Seth Low, Chairman. William Berri, George F. Kunz, John E. Parsons, Francis Lynde Stetson. The names of the contributors were also engrossed in this letter. The medals, framed replicas, and engrossed letters were prepared by Tiffany & Co. Owing to the prospective departure of Colonel Sackett on Saturday, March 12, for several weeks, absence in the South and far West, it was not practicable to arrange for the presentation of the testimonials at a formal gathering. They were therefore sent on Friday, March 11, to the recipients, who acknowledged them as follows : I May 4, 1910 1753 NEW YORKER STAATS-ZEITUNG 182 WILLIAM STREET, NEW YORK. March 11. 19 10. Hon. Seth Low, 30 East Sixty-fourth Street, New York City. My dear Mr. Mayor. — Your favor of jNIarch 11 and the box containing the engrossed letter, gold medal, and replica received just now. The pleasure and surprise are so great that I cannot find words to properly thank you for what will be the best heritage I can leave to my sons. I will take the earliest opportunity to personally thank you and your associates for the great and undeserved honor you have done me. Yours faithfully, Herman Ridder> 515 MADISON avenue, NEW YORK. March 11, 1910. My dear Dr. Low. — I do not know how adequately to thank you and the other members of your Committee and of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission from whom I received this afternoon the beautiful medal and its replica and the illuminated message that accompanied them. I am touched more deeply than I can express. This is far more than my due for any service I have been able to render to the great undertaking in which so many of your have, with at least ecjual devotion, been working unitedly and with common purpose. There have been two features of the work of the Com- mission that are most gratifying and almost unique. One is the fact that so large a number of the most representative men in the community have disinterestedly united in giving so much time and effort, as well as such generous pecuniary aid, out of love for their City and State, to advance this public enterprise. The other fine feature was the harmony that has uniformly prevailed in the councils of the Com- mission and has made its action upon all important ques- tions one of absolute unanimity. I believe these to be the two things that made our Cele- bration so great and so successful; they certainly made as- 1754 Minutes of Trustees § sociation with it officially a privilege and a pleasure that can leave only inspiring memories. That my associates in this work should think me worthy of such tokens of their esteem as these that have come to me to-day, is repayment, a thousandfold, for whatever I have been able to do to further the work of the Commis- sion. They will always be of priceless worth to me. I shall prize them more than the highest honors or greatest decora- tions that could be bestowed by any ruler or potentate on earth. Let me extend to you, my dear Dr. Low, and to Messrs. Berri, Parsons, Stetson, and Kunz of your Committee, and through you to all our associates upon the Commission from whom these gifts and this message have come, the assurances of my sincere appreciation and everlasting gra- titude. Very sincerely yours, Henry W. Sackett. New York, March 12. The Hon. Seth Low, Chairman. My Dear Mr. Low. — I wish to thank the Commission for the medal presented me, and yourself for the kind wording of your letter of March 11. They will both re- main pleasant things to look back on, in the work. Believe me, sincerely yours, Chester Beach. In behalf of the Committee, I am Yours very truly, Seth Low, Chairman. Seth Low. Chairman, William Berri, George F. Kunz, John E. Parsons, Francis Lynde Stetson, Committee. Resolution of Thanks to Messrs. Amend & Amend. The Assistant Secretary offered the following resolution : Resolved, That the very hearty thanks of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission be and they hereby are tendered to Messrs. Amend & Amend, Counsellors-at-law, May 4, 1910 i755 of No. 119 Nassaii street, New York, for their public spirit and generosity in giving to this Commission without charge their services in the adjustment of many perplexing cjues- tions attending the settlement of the affairs of the Commis- sion. While, with their legal ability, they have fully pro- tected the public interests committed to our charge, they have at the same time shown such a lively sense of equity in the consideration of the just claims against the Commis- sion that every claim thus far presented about which there has been any question has been settled out of court to the satisfaction of all parties. For the generous contribution of time and professional skill by Messrs. Amend & Amend, which has resulted in the saving of many thousands of dol- lars, the Commission hereby expresses its deep obligation. Dr. Kunz moved as an amendment that if the Commis- sion had any silver medals one be given to each of the two members of the firm of Amend & Amend. The amendment was accepted by the mover and the reso- lution was adopted. Resolutions of Thanks to Electric Companies. The Assistant Secretary said that he had been informed that the electric companies had lost over $50,000 on their contracts with this Commission on account of their zeal to make the illuminations of the celebration Avorthy of the occasion. He therefore oft'ered, by request, the following resolution : Resolved, That the thanks of the Hudson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission be and they hereby are tendered to the New York Edison Company, the United Electric Light & Power Company, the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Brooklyn, the New York and Queens Electric Light and Power Company and the Richmond Light and Railroad Company for the very satisfactory and generous manner in which they executed their contract with this Commission for the electric illuminations in the City of New York dur- ing the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. In their zealous de- sire to make the electric decorations of the municipal build- ings, bridges. Statue of Liberty, Court of Honor and the avenues through wdiich the great parades passed worthy of the occasion and the most notable of their kind on record, the electric companies spared no pains or expense to carry 1756 Minutes of Trustees out the elaborate plans of the Illuminations Committee of the Commission, and, we are led to believe, sustained an actual loss of many thousands of dollars. For the un-com- mercial spirit with which the electric companies cooperated with this Commission and for the brilliant success of the illuminations which contributed so much to the Celebration, the Commission hereby expresses its great obligation and sincere appreciation. The resolution was adopted. Resignations Accepted. The resignation of Rear Admiral Joseph B. Murdock, U. S. N., as a member of the Commission, dated March 18, 1910, was laid before the Trustees. It was stated that the resignation was tendered on account of his having been re- lieved of the command of the Navy Yard and his prospec- tive departure to another command. The resignation was accepted wath regret. The resignation of Mr. Archer M. Huntington as a mem- ber of the Board of Trustees was also accepted with regret. Change in Ex-OiUcio Membership. I A communication was laid before the Trustees reporting the election of the Hon. George S. Devine as President of the Village of Hudson Falls (formerly Sandy Hill) in place of the Hon. C. W. Higley. The Secretary was directed to substitute Mr. Devine's name for Mr. Higley's in the roll of ex-ofificio members of the Commission. Report of Nominations Committee.

Each member of the Committee refrains from nominat- ing himself as Trustee but concurs as to all the other names. May 4, 1910 1759 As the statute makes the Mayors of cities ex-officio Trustees their names are not presented for election. Respectfully submitted, Theodore Fitch, Chairman. John W. Vrooman, Herman Ridder, Henry W. Sackett, Nominations Committee. Dated May 4, 1910. The report was received. Election of Hon. Henry IV. Hill as a member of Commission. Mr. Fitch moved tliat the Flon. Henry \\'ayland Hill of Buffalo. Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Sen- ate, be elected a member of the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 277 of the Laws of 1909. Carried. Election of Eifty Trustees. Mr. Fitch said that tliere was some question as to whether, after their first election, the fifty Trustees provided for by Chapter 277 of the Laws of 1909 were to be elected annu- ally by the Board of Trustees or by the Commission. In order to insure their election in either case, however, it seems advisable to have them elected by both the Board of Trustees and by the Commission itself. He therefore moved that the Secretary be directed to cast a ballot in be- half of the meeting for the fifty additional Trustees named in the report of the Committee on Nominations. The motion was unanimously adopted and the Secretary having cast the ballot as directed, the Acting President de- clared the nominees elected. Air. Fitch then moved that the Board of Trustees re- commend to the Commission for election at the Annual fleeting the one hundred and fifty gentlemen named in the report of the Nominating Committee. The motion was adopted. 1760 Minutes of Trustees By-laws Am ended. Mr. Fitch then offered the following preamble and reso- lution : Whereas, The principal business of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission having been completed; therefore be it Resolved, That section 2 of article I of the By-laws relat- ing to Trustees' meetings be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows : Section 2. Trustees' meetings. After May 4, 1910, there shall be a meeting of the Board of Trustees in the month of May each year after the annual meeting of the Com- mission at a time and place to be fixed by the President or Board of Trustees. He explained that the object of this amendment was to obviate the cadling of regular monthly meetings of the Trus- tees hereafter. Section 4 of the By-laws already provided that " Other meetings of the Trustees or Commission may be held upon the call of the President and must be called by him upon the written request of ten Trustees." There- fore, if the proposed amendment should prevail, one meet- ing of the Trustees would be provided for in the By-laws and other meetings could be called when necessary. The adoption of the proposed amendment would also permit the holding of the May meeting of the Trustees for the election of officers before the Acting President starts on his trip abroad May loth next. The amendment was unanimously adopted. Verplanck's Point Legislation. The Assistant Secretary reported that on March 16, 1910, the Hon. Frank L. Young of Ossining, at the request of the Verplanck's Point Com.mittee, had introduced in the Leg- islature a bill directing the Commissioners of the Land Office, upon the recommendation of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, upon such terms as the Commis- sioners of the Land Office may deem just, to acquire land lying on Verplanck's Point, in the town of Cortlandt, West- II May 4, 1 910 1761 Chester county, for a public park or reservation to com- memorate the achievements of Hudson and Fulton and to preserve the scenic beauty and historic landmarks of Ver- planck's Point. The area to be acquired shall include par- ticularly the site of Fort Fayette, the site and remains of the shore battery, the terminal of the old King's Ferry lead- ing to the Stony Point battlefield reservation, the site of Washington's headquarters, and the camping ground of the allied American and French troops. The Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission is given the custody of the prop- erty until its dissolution, when the Commissioners of the Land Office may determine the custodian. The bill carries an appropriation of $40,000. The bill is the same as As- semblyman Young's of last year. The bill is now pending in the Legislature. Thanks to Organisations Participating in tlic Celebration. At the suggestion of Mr. Ridder it was voted that the very cordial thanks of the Commission be extended to all of the organizations which cooperated so effectively in the parades and concerts of the Celebration and that the Secre- tary be requested to communicate the action of the Com- mission to those organizations. 't>' Disposition of Half Moon and Clermont Referred to Joijit Committee. The Assistant Secretary laid before the Trustees a com- munication from Mr. John B. Creighton, Secretary of the President of the Borough of Brooklyn, transmitting a formal application from the Borough President for the custody of the Half Moon; also a letter from Mr. H. F. Gunnison, business manager of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Mr. George V. Brower of Brooklyn, endorsing the ap- plication. Also a letter from Mr. Thomas D. Costigan of Brooklyn, opposing the placing of the Half Moon in Pros- pect Park and advocating its location on salt water. The communications were referred to the Joint Commit- tee consisting of the Half ]\Ioon Committee, the Clermont Committee and the Executive Officers. 1762 Minutes of Trustees Col. Satterlee, Chairman of the Half Moon Committee, reported progress. He said that the Half Moon was at the Navy Yard. The portable articles which were in her cabins were preserved in a fire-proof warehouse with the exception of certain archreological exhibits which were placed with the New York Historical Society. The clothing worn by the crew had been cleaned and put away. Everything was ready to be put back on the ship and the ship could be put in commission on short notice. He felt that the Commis- sion should relieve the Navy Yard of the care of the ship as soon as possible as it was doubtful if the vessel could be kept in the Navy Yard much longer. The Half Moon Com- mittee had no recommendation to make. The Borough of Brooklyn, through its President, had made a formal appli- cation for the custody of the vessel in order that it might be placed on the lake in Prospect Park. The President of the Borough of Brooklyn had offered to pay for the re- moval of the ship and funds for its care had been assured. The Half IMoon Committee had deferred making any re- commendation as its views would depend somewhat upon the action of the Legislature in regard to the establishment of the great public park on the west side of the Hudson river in Rockland and Orange counties, based upon the gift of Mrs. Harriman and others. Until the Park bill was passed the Committee would not be prepared to form a defi- nite opinion. The Acting President invited the Hon. Alfred E. Steers, President of the Borough of Brooklyn, to take the floor. President Steers said that a short time after he assumed office he had learned that the Commission was looking for a home for the Half Moon. He had visited the vessel in the Navy Yard and was so much impressed with it that he was willing to take the responsibility of taking charge of it and with the cooperation of the Park Commissioner, plac- ing it in Prospect Park. The St. Nicholas Society of Nas- sau Island had offered its cooperation to the extent of bear- ing the expense of transporting the Half Moon. This could be done for $1,500. After placing the vessel in the park I May 4, 1910 1763 it would be cared for by the Society or other responsible parties. He urged that the Borough of Brooklyn was a part of the City of New York, saying " It is your Borough as well as ours." He referred to the old Dutch settlements in Brooklyn and to their great interest in the Half Moon. He added " If you turn it over to us it will be your boat as well as ours and we will guarantee that it will be in as good condition ten or twenty years hence as it is now, making due allowance for the necessary wear and tear of the elements." Mr. Olcott, Chairman of the Clermont Committee, said that the generous offer of the Borough President was an attractive one but it seemed to him as if the Half Moon should be kept on the Hudson river. There were two pos- sible sites for it — one in the Highlands and one at the Water-gate which the Robert Fulton Monument Associa- ttion proposed to construct opposite Riverside Park on the Hudson River between 114th and ii6th streets. He was verv strongly of the opinion that notwithstanding the courtesy of the Borough President's offer the vessel should be kept on the Hudson River and he thought it would be better to accept Col. Satterlee's report of progress and defer the final disposition of the vesel until more definite arrange- ments could be made. Prospect Park, he said, was most exquisite and beautiful, but the glory of the Half Moon was its small size and if placed in Prospect Park it would appear out of proportion and would seem too large, like a battle- ship. Capt. Miller endorsed Mr. Olcott's remarks. He said that all appreciated the kind offer of President Steers and the courteous spirit in which it was made, but the Half Moon and the Clermont were two typical evidences of the Celebration and ought to be kept together. They were not toys and they should be kept on their natural element, salt water, where they were born and he sincerely hoped that the matter would be postponed until the Highland Park or the magnificent Water Gate was ready to receive them. 1764 Minutes of Trustees Mr. Fitch agreed with Mr. Olcott and thought that the Half Moon should have a harbor of refuge on the Hudson River. He feU indebted to Brooklyn for the generous offer just made, but thought that the Trustees should defer ac- tion. He therefore moved that the subject be referred to the Joint Committee previously constituted and consisting of the Half Moon Committee, the Clermont Committee and the Executive Officers, to make recommendation. Col. MacArthur of Troy, Chairman of the Upper Hudson Committee, said that there were two ends of the Hudson River and that there were two celebrations, one on the Upper Hudson and one on the Lower Hudson. He expressed the hope that one vessel would be put at the upper end of the river so that the Upper Hudson could have one of them in its possession, Mr. Bergen said that he had just come to the meeting and therefore had not had the benefit of the previous dis- cussion, but he would say that he had just received a tele- phone message from the St. Nicholas Society of Nassau, to the effect that that society was willing to bear the expense of transporting the Half Moon from the Navy Yard to Pros- pect Park. As to the Hudson River, his understanding was that it began at Sandy Hook and ended at Lake Tear-in- the-Cloud, so that there was plenty of room for it. Col. Satterlee asked President Steers if the Borough of Brooklyn wanted both vessels. President Steers replied in the negative, saying that they wanted only the Half Moon. Mr. Baxter, United States Naval Constructor at the Navy Yard, said that he could only repeat' what he had said several times before, that the Half Moon was running risks in its present berth. The Navy Yard was full of ships and dredges were cutting away one part of the yard near the Half Moon. The cradle in which the Half Moon was brought over had been removed to another part of the yard. In behalf of the Commandant of the Navy Yard he ielt it to be his duty to call attention to the danger of keep- ing the Half Moon there any longer than was necessary. May 4, 1910 . 1765 Dr. Kunz suggested the Palisades Interstate Park as an available site near the city for the Half Moon. Brief remarks were also made by Mr. Lee and Mr. An- derson, members of the Commission. At the conclusion of the discussion it was voted that the matter be referred to the Joint Committee consisting of the Half Moon Committee, the Clermont Committee, and the Executive Officers, to consider and report recommen- dations.! Recommended for Appointment by the Mayor. Mr. Fitch moved that the Board recommend the Hon. Alfred E. Steers to the Mayor for appointment as a mem- ber of tlie Commission.* Carried. The meeting then adjourned. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary. t On May lo, 1910, the Acting President appointed Capt. A. B. Fry a member of the Clermont Committee. * Mr. Steers was appointed by Mayor Gaynor on May 16, 1910. 1766 Minutes of The Commission May 4, 1 9 10 The annual meeting of the Hudson-Fuhon Celebration Commission was held in the New York Staats Zeitnng Building, No. 182 William street, New York city, on Wed- nesday, May 4, 1910, at 3 :t,o p. m.

Mr. Ridder and Mr. Sackett refrain from nominating themselves, but concur as to the other nominations. Respectfully submitted, Theodore Fitch, Chairman, Herman Ridder, Henry W. Sackett, John W. Vrooman, Nominations Committee. Dated May 9, 1910. The report was received and ordered on file. Mr. Fitch moved that the report be approved, and that if there were no objection, Mr. Berri be requested to cast a single ballot in behalf of the Trustees for the nominees. The motion was unanimously adopted and the ballot hav- ing been cast as directed, the nominees were declared elected. Acting President and Alternate Appointed. Mr. Fitch also presented the following report from the Committee on Nominations : i To the Board of Trustees of the Hudson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission. Gentlemen. — The Nominations Committee reports that on account of the absence in Europe of the President, Gen. Woodford, it is necessary for the Board of Trustees to de- signate an Acting President. The Committee recommends that Vice-President Herman Ridder be designated and appointed as Acting President. The Committee also recommends that Vice-President Gen. James Grant Wilson be designated and appointed Act- 1782 Minutes of Trustees ing President to serve in that capacity when Mr, Ridder is absent. Respectfully submitted, Theodore Fitch, Chairman, Herman Ridder, Henry W. Sackett, John W. Vrooman, Nominations Committee. Dated May 9, 1910. Mr. Fitch explained the dual nomination by saying that Mr. Ridder expected to sail for Europe on the following day, to be gone about four months, and as there was little likelihood of another Trustees' meeting in the near future, it was desirable to designate a presiding officer to act dur- ing his absence. He therefore moved that the report be re- ceived, and if there were no objection that the Secretary be directed to cast a single ballot on behalf of the Trustees for the nominees. The motion was unanimously adopted ; and the Secretary having cast the ballot as directed, Mr. Ridder and General Wilson were declared appointed alternative Acting Presi- dents. Disbursements and Settlements Authorised. The Secretary suggested that as this was a new Board of Trustees, the resolution concerning future disbursements, settlements, etc., adopted at the last meeting of the old board on May 4, 1910 (see page 1730), be readopted by the present board. He therefore offered the following resolu- tion: Resolved, That after May 4, 1910, the President, the Presiding Vice-President, the Treasurer, the Secretary and the Assistant Secretary of the Commission, or a majority of them, be and they hereby are authorized to enter into such contracts, effect such settlements and make such ex- penditures, not exceeding the resources of the Commission, as in the discretion and judgment of said officers may be deemed wise and necessary for the settlement and conclu- sion of the unfinished aft'airs of the Commission ; and the |! May 9, 1910 1783 Treasurer is hereby authorized to pay accounts authorized as aforesaid after the further approval of the Auditing Committee. The resokition was adopted. The meeting then adjourned.

Assistant Treasurers Appointed. The Secretary laid before the Trustees the following let- ter from Mr. Isaac N. Seligman. the Treasurer, who sailed on June ist for several months' absence abroad: OFFICE OF THE TREASURER, No. I William street, New York City. May 3] , If) 10. General James Grant Wilson, Acting President of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, Triljune lUrilding, New York. N. Y. Dear Sir. — Subject to the approval of the Executive Committee, I have appointed two niembars of my office stafif to sign and endorse checks and drafts of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission as Acting Treasurer during my absence from town this summer, and I assume full re- sponsibility for their acts. The names of the gentlemen whom I have appointed are Charles D. Lithgow and Stan- ley G. Ranger. The reason for my appointing two gentle- ment is due. to the fact that in case of the absence of one the other can sign as .A.cting Treasurer of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission. Yours very truly, Isaac N. Seligman, Treasurer. It was voted that the appointment of Mr. Cbarles D. Lithgow and Mr. Stanley G. Ranger as alternate Acting Treasurers during Mr. Seligman's absence abroad be approved. Sale of Parade Paraphernalia Referred ivitli Poicer. The Assistant Secretary laid before the Trustees the sit- uation in regard to the ])aradc paraphernalia and asked their advice in regard to its sale. The parade paraphernalia i8oo Minutes of Executive Committee is now housed in the building called thie " Den " where it was manufactured in the Borougli of the Bronx at Harlem river and 149th street, where it entails a monthly expense of about $1,000 — $3^3 a month for rental of property, $144 a week for four watchmen and superinitendertt, and incidentals for light, telephone, etc. He recalled the tenta- tive arrangement made by Mr. Ridder with Hon. Herman A. Metz for the sale of the property, mentioned on pages 1729 and 1730 of the minutes, and said that under date of May 31st the Secretary had written to Mr. Metz asking if he was not prepared to consummate the arrangement. On June 1st Mr. Metz had replied " that nothing further has been done in regard to the World's Fair proposition, the Mayor not having a]),pointed a comniiittee as yet." Since then, namely, on June 3d, Mayor Gaynor had written to Mr. Henry Clews a letter " appointing a committee to con- sider whether we should have a World's Faiir here in 19 13 and if so to organize the enterprise." This committee con- tained, beside Mr. Clews, about 100 prominent men of the city, headed by Mr. J. Edward Simmons, President of the Chamber of Commerce, and including Mr. Metz. The holding of a World's Fair, however, was so uncertain that it was a question whether it was wise to wait further for the purchase of the property by that organization and it was felt that perhaps it might be better to dispose of the property at once by auction, even at a much less figure than •was expected, in order to stop the drain of expense on the treasury. After a brief discussion it was voted that the matter of the sale of the parade paraphernalia be referred to the Acting President, the Secretary, and the Assistant Secre- tary, with power. Half Moon Prniwucntly Comiuittcd to the Palisades Inter- state Park Commission. The Secretary laid before the Committee a letter dated June 10, 1910, from Col. Herbert L. Satterlee, Ohainnan of the joint Committee on Care of the Half Moon and June lo, 1910 i8or Clermont, transmitting copy of a letter dated June 9th from him to the Hon. J. DuPratt \\'hite, Secretary of the Com- missioners of tlie Palisades Interstate Park, New York Commission, and a copy of a reply from Mr. White dated June loth. In explanation of tliis correspondence the Sec- retary stated that at a meeting of the Joint Committee om the Care of the Half Moon and Clermont held at Col. Sat- terlee's office on Wednesday, June 8th, it was unanimously voted to recommend to the Executive Committee that the custody of the Half Moon be permanently entrusted to the Commissioners of the Pali.sades Interstate Park, New York Commission, upon the terms mentioned in these letters: NO. T20 BROADWAY, New York. June 9, 19 10. Hon. J. DuPratt White, Secretary, Commissioners of the Palisades Interstate Park. New York Commission, No. 31 Nassau Street, New York City. Dear Sir.— Referring to the formal request of the Com- missioners of the Palisades Interstate Park, New York Commission, orally presented by vou at the meeting of the Joint Committee on the Care of the Half Moon and Cler- mont yesterday, that the permanent custody of the Half Moon be_ entrusted to your Commission, Tbeg to advise you that it is the intention of this Committee to recommend the following resolution for adoption by the Executive Committee of The Pludson-Fulton Celebration Commission at a meeting to be held on Friday, June loth, at 2:30 p. m. : _ Whereas,_ It is the desire of the Hudson-Fulton Celebra- tion Commission to make immediate and permanent pro- vision for the preservation and care of the replica of the Half Moon, not only as a highly prized testimonial of die afifection and generosity of the people of the Netherlands for the people of the State of New York, but also as an object lession in the history of the State and the science of navigation ; and i8o2 Minutes of Executive Committee Whereas. The corporate life of the Hudson-Fuhon Cele- bration Commission is limited by its charter to a period of ten years from the date of its incorporation ; and Whereas, The Commissioners of tlie Pahsades Interstate Park New' York Commission, a perpetual corporation cre- ated by the State of New York, having by law junsdaction over extensive lands and waterfront along the river ex- plored by Henrv Hudson in the original Half Moon and possessing ample financial resources, has formally requested the honor of acting as the permanent official custodian of the Half Moon ; therefore, be it Resolved. That the Chairman of the Half Moon Com- mittee be and he hereby is authorized and directed,_ upon the passage of a concurrent resolution by the Commission- ers of the Palisades Interstate Park. New York Commis- sion accepting the terms of this resolution, to deliver tne Half Moon to said Commissioners of the Pahsades Inter- state Park New York Commission, in perpetual trust for the people' of the State of New York, upon the following conditions : 1st That the Half Moon shall customarily be kept float- ing upon the Hudson River in the State of New York ; ^d That the Commissioners of the Palisades Interstate Park", New York Commission, shall keep in repair, protect and preserve the vessel with the utmost possible care ; 3d.

Chairman of the Half Moon Committee and of the Joint Committee on Care of Half Moon and Cler- mont of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, 120 Broadway, New York City. Dear Sir. — I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 9th inst. informing me that it is the intention of your Committee to rcconnmend to the Executive Committee of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission at a meet- ing to be held to-day the adoption of a resolution authoriz- ing you, as Chairman, to deliver the Half Moon to the Commissioners of the Palisades Interstate Park in per- petual trust for the people of the State of New York under certain conditions upon the adoption by such Conimission- ers of a resolution accepting such conditions. The conditions embodied in your said resolution, and as set out in your letter, are as follows : 1st. That the Half Moon shall customarily be kept float- ing uix)n the Hudson River in the State of New York ; 2d. That the Palisades Interstate Park Commission shall keep in repair, protect and preserve the vessel with the utmost possible care ; 3d. That the public shall be permitted to visit and inspect the vessel under suitable regulations ; and 4th. That with the approval of the Governor of the State of New York, the vessel be permitted to take part in pub- lic ceremonies relating to the science of navigation or to the Hudson River in the State of New York. On behalf of the Comimissioners of the Palisades Inter- state Park, I beg to inform you that the custody of the Half Moon will be accepted by such Commissioners of the Palisades Interstate Park under the foregoing conditions, with pleasure. When you shall have notified me of the approval of this plan by the Executive Committee of the Trustees of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, I will send you a copy of a proper resolution in the matter. Yours very truly, J. DuPratt White. Secretary, Commissioners of the Palisades Interstate Park. i8o4 Minutes of Executive Committee Mr. Sackett moved that the resokvtion recommended by the Joint Committee on the Care of the Half Moon and Clermont as contained in the letter of Col. Satterlee to Mr. White be adopted. Mr. Bergen said that he would like the honor of moving the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Stetson suggested that the word " customarily " in the first condition mentioned in the resolution be changed to " ordinarily." The suggestion was adopted and the resolution as thus amended was also adopted. The Assistant Secretary reported that at the request of the Joint Committee on the Care of the Half Moon and Clermont he had written the following letter to the Presi- mend of the Borough of Brooklyn in regard to the latter's request for the custody of the Half Moon: HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION, Tribune Building, New York. June 9, 1910. Hon. Alfred E. Steers, President of the Borough of Brooklyn, Borough Hall, Brooklyn, N. Y. Dear Sir. — At the meeting of the Joint Committee on the Care of the Half Moon and Clermont 'held in the office of Col. Satterlee yesterday afternoon, I was requested to con- vey to you their sincere thanks for your very courteous ofifer, in behalf of the Borough of Brooklyn, to assume the custody and care of the Plaif Moon and to- place it on the lake in Prospect Park ; but to say to you, however, that on account of several practical objections to that course, ithe Committee feels that the intention of the donors will be more fully met by other disposition of the vessel. It therefore decided to recommend to the Executive Commit- tee of the Commission a resolution authorizing the delivery of the Half Moon to the Palisades Interstate Park Com- mission, in perpetual trust for the people of the State of New York, upon the condition that the customary emplace- ment of the vessel shall be upon the Hudson River in the State of New York ; that the Palisades Commission shall keep in repair, protect and preserve the vessel with the June lo, 19 lo 1805 utmost care ; that the jxiblic shall be permitted to visit and inspect the vessel free of charge under suitable regulations ; and that with the approval of the Governor of the State the vessel be permitted to take part in public ceremonies re- lating to the Hudson River, the history of the State, or the science of navigation. The Palisades Commission, as you doubtless know, by reason of legislation enacted this year, has jurisdiction over extensive lands and waterfront on the Hudson river from Fort Lee to Newburgh and it has financial resources amounting to $5,000,000. It is a perpetual Commission, not dependent on appropriations from year to year. 7\nd it has promised to cherish the Half Moon with the solici- tude to which it is entitled as a generous and affectionate international gift, and an object lesson in the histoiry of the State and the science of navigation. Furthermore, the Half Moon was given to the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Com- mission as representing the State, and the Committee feels that to give it to any local municipality would not be in accordance with the intention of the donors, and might ex- pose this Commission to criticism. The Palisades Commis- sion is a State Commission, and the proposed action looks simply to the transfer of the Half Moon from one State Commission with a limited corporate life to another State Commission with unlimited corporate life and very ample financial resources. Trusting that you will share with us the feeling that this is, after all, the wisest disposition of the Half Moon, look- ing to the true interpretation of the spirit of the gift and to its longest preservation and usefulness, and with renewed assurances of the Committee's appreciation of your gener- ous ofifer and the sentiments inspiring it, I remain, in behalf of the Committee, Yours very truly, Edward Hagam.^n Hall, Assistant Secretary. Suits of Pain Manufacturing Company against Commission. The Assistant Secretary asked the advice of the Commit- tee in regard to paying in advance the expenses of wit- nesses attending the trial in New York city O'f suits brought by the Pain Manufacturing Company against the Commis- sion. He explained that the Pain Manufacturing Company had m.ade contracts with various committees, some repre- i8o6 Minutes of Executive Committee senting the Commission and some not representing the Com- mission, in the cities of Poughkeepsie. Hudson, Troy and Cohces, and the village of Tivoli, for signal fires and pyro- technics ; that the signal fires having proved to be faik;res and the pyrotechnics unsatisfactory, the coinmittees had declined to pay the Pain Manufacturing Company and the latter therefore had brought suits against the Commission on these contracts aggregating $3,780. The Assistant Sec- retary had visited the places above mentioned and from what he had learned it was thought best by Mr. Ridder and the counsel of the Commission to defend the suits on ac- count of the failure of the Pain Company to fulfill its contracts and the consequent disappointment of the public and mortification of the representatives of the Commission. In the case of Cohoes, Mayor Hanson had written that the witnesses from Cohoes would not come to New York un- less money for their expenses was paid to them in advance. The Assistant Secretary therefore desired to know the pleasure of the Executive Committee in regard to making these advance payments. After a brief discussion of the subject it was voted that tlie expenses of witnesses should be paid in advance as requested. Presentatwn of Medal to Italy Acknozvlcdged. The Secretary laid before the Committee the following letter: REGIA AMBASCIATA d'iTALIA. No. 863. Washington, May 25, 1910. Honorable Executive Officers of the Hudson-Fulton Cele- bration Committee of the State of New York, The Tribune P>uilding, New York. Gentlemen. — On the 25th day of April Gen. Stewart L.

His Majesty greatly appreciated the gift and personally made known to General Woodford his sincere appreciation thereof. However, His Majesty is desirous that his expressions of thanks and of appreciation be renewed to your honorable Committee which so ably conducted the celebrations com- memorating those two historical events, and I have been accordingly instructed to fulfill this very agreeable charge. I avail myself wdth much pleasure of this o-pportunity to offer to }'ou the assurances of my very distinguished con- sideration. MONTAGLIARI, Italian Charge d' Affairs. Ordered on file. Distribution of Half Moon Pictures. The Secretary reported that in accordance with the reso- lution adopted by the Trustees on May 4th (page 1732) he liad sent on May 18, igio, for presentation to the public schools of fifty cities and incorporated villages along the Hudson River the lithographic reproductions of the water color drawing- of the Half Moon presented to the Commis- sion by :\fessrs.

J. T. Cremer, representative of the Government of the Netherlands at the Hudson-Fulton Celebration and Vice-President of the Netherlands Hudson- Fulton Commission ; the Hon. J. P. Van Eeghen, Qiairman of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce and Vice-Presi- dent of the Netherlands Hudson-Fulton Commission ; and the Hon. R. Van Rees, Treasurer of the Netherlands Hud- son-Fukon Commission, as citizens of Amsterdam and Honorary Foreign Councillors of the Hudson-Fulton Com- mission, have, through the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, presented to the public schools of the city of New York a number of colored lithographic reproductions of Kraay's water color drawing of the Half Mooini; Resolved, That the thanks of the Board of Education be, and they are hereby, expressed, through the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, to the above-mentioned gentlemen for their generous gift. It was voted that the original water-color drawing be presented to Mr. Bergen. Erection of Half Moon Tablet in Amsterdam Proposed. Mr. Bergen suggested the advisability of erecting in some public hall or street of Amsterdam, in The Netherlands, a bronze tablet acknowledging the gift oi the Half Moon. He said that such a tablet would not cost over $250 and that he believed the money therefor could be raised without expense to the Commission. Dr. Kunz moved that a committee be appointed to erect such a tablet without expense to the Commission and that the plans therefor be submitted to the Trustees or the Executive Committee for approval.

The Secretary, in behalf of the Acting President, Secre- tary and Assistant Secretary, to whom the Executive Com- mittee on June 10, iQio, referred with power the matter of the sale of parade paraphernaha, reported as follows: After conference by letter with Mr. Ridder, it was de- cided that in view of the expense attendant upon holding the parade paraphernalia and the lack of prospect indicated by Mr. Metz's replies to our inquiries that he or .Mr. .Stod- dard would avail themselves of the option given to them to purchase the property, arrangements .should be made with- i8i4 Minutes of Executive Committee out further delay for its public sale. On June 20, there- fore, after a personal conference between the Secretary, Assisant Secretary, and Mr. Stoddard (Mr. Metz having gone abroad), Mr. Stoddard was verbally notified of the revocation of the option and on the following day formal notices to that effect were sent to both Mr. Stoddard and Mr. Metz. Arrangements were then made for the public sale of the property by Alderman Samuel Marx upon the basis of 5;?. commission. On July 11, 3,300 copies of an advertising catalogue were printed and sent to all members of the Commission, and to selected Hsts of wagon and truck dealers, circus and tent shows, awning and tent man- ufacturers, costumers, prominent theatrical managers, Ger- man singing societies, moving picture manufacturers and celebration organizations in other places. The sale was also advertised one time in 26 New York papers on July II, and for five days from July 22 to July 27 in three New York papers especially consulted by auction buyers. Bids in writing were invited up to July 22, and articles remain- ing unsold on that date were offered at auction at the " Den " at 149th street and Harlem River, in the Bor- ough of the Bronx, on Wednesday, July 27. The only satisfactory bid received by mail was for the canvas and this was accepted. The auctioneer tlien put a force of men into the Den, and the properties were arranged in lots and a sale catalogue, arranged by lot numbers, was printed for use on July 27. On the latter date, everything salable was sold at public auction. There were about 100 persons present at the sale. The gross proceeds of the sale were $4,255.63, divided as follows: Canvass $1,555; trucks and floats $803; costumes $1,149; miscellaneous $748.63. Purchasers were given until August 6 to remove their goods and upon that date, all employes at the Den were discharged and the premises relinquished to the owner, the Erie Railroad Co. General Financial Statement. The Assistant Secretary reported that after the payment of the bills approved at this meeting there would remain August 19, 1910 1815 in the treasury $1,802.41 to meet unpaid bills and estimated expenses accruing to September 30 amounting to $19,291.38, leaving a net deficit of $17,488.97 to be raised. The only contingencies which could now be foreseen and which might increase this deficit were possible expenses due to tlie attendance of out-of-town witnesses in the suits of the Pain Manufacturing Company on contracts alleged to have been made with the Comimission's comimittees noirthi of Newburgh, expenses of repairing the Clermont, and ex- penses attending the packing and shipping of the Official Reports of the Celebration. The only current expenses were those for a store-room, stenographer, printing min- utes, postage, stationery, telephone, etc. The Secretary and Assistant Secretary had taken pleasure in placing their private offices at the disposal of the Commission for the transaction of its business and there was no expense for office rent. The Assistant Secretary, who in February vol- untarily reduced his salary to $250 a month, bad drawn no salary since May, leaving the payment of his salary for the four months ending September 30 contingent upon the raising of the necessary funds. Meanwhile, he had given up his summer vacation in order to complete the task of writing the Official Report, which was now in the State Printer's hands, and otTered to read the proof and super- vise the publication without compensation. It was ex- pected, therefore, that on October i, 1910, one year from the date of the Celebration, the business affairs of the Commission would be closed up, with the exception of meeting the deficit of about $17,500 — a deficit which would not have occurred if, as Mr. Ridder had good rea- son to believe, the parade paraphernalia had sold at the price of the option given to Messrs. Metz and Stoddard, and which, in any event, was remarkably small in com- parison with the aggregate transactions of the Commission amounting to over a million dollars. The Assistant Sec- retary said that Mr. Ridder was expected back from Europe about the middle of September and would give his immediate attention to the subject of raising the deficit. i8i6 Minutes of Executive Committee Presentation of Medal to King of Great Britain. The Secretary laid before the Committee a letter from Gen. Woodford stating that at noon on June 30, 1910, he presented to George the Fifth at Marlborough House in London, the gold medal and address prepared for the Gov- ernment of Great Britain. Gen. Woodford was taken to Marlborough House by the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, the American Ambassador. The King received them very prompt'ly. Three gentlemen were waiting to see the King and by a pleasant coincidence one was the British Am- bassador to Holland at the function when Gen. Woodford was received by Queen Wilhelmina. The King received Gen. Woodford cordially and seemed deeply touched at receiving the address prepared for his father. He spoke higlily of the reception given to the British ships and to Sir Edward Seymour, Admiral of the Fleet. He remarked that being a sailor himself he had been very much inter- ested in the Naval display at New York and spoke in al- most affectionate terms of Admiral Seymour. At the close of the interview, which lasted for nearly half an hour, the King handed to General Woodford the text of his official reply to the address of this Comniiission. The address to the King and his reply follow : THE HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK Headquarters : The Tribune Building New York, N. Y. November ly, 1909. His Majesty Edward \ll, Of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King. Emperor of India. Your Majesty : In behalf of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commis- sion of the State of New York, the undersigned Executive August 19, 1 910 181 7 Officers have the honor to present to the Government of Great Britain an Official Gold Medal struck by the Commis- sion in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the Discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609 and the 100th anniversary of the successful inauguration of Steam Navigation upon that River by Robert Fulton in 1807. We beg you to accept this Medal and to place it in the archives of your Government, not only as a memento of the two events commemorated, but also as a token of Friendship and an evidence of our sincere appreciation of the generous participation of your Government in our Festival. For the good v^-ill so manifestly shown by your Majesty in the presence of your distinguished delegate Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward Seymour, your great warships the Inflexible, Drake, Argyll, and Duke of Edinburgh, with their Officers and men, and your Diplomatic and Consular representatives, we extend to Your Majesty our sincerest thanks. And we particularly thank Your Majesty for the friendly greetings brought in behalf of Yourself, your Government and your People, which we most cordially reciprocate. The Celebration, in which your Nation honored us by taking so conspicuous a part, contained mirch to remind us of our past debt to Great Britain, and to strengtlien the bonds existing between us. In the courage and skill of the great English navigator who first explored the river which perpetuates his name and opened this territory to civiliza- tion, we were reminded of the indomitable spirit of the English sea-kings who laid the foundation of Great Britain's sea .power and opened the way for the permanent planting of Anglo-Saxon Civilization in the New World at Jamestown two years before Hudson's voyage. In the achiievement of Robert Fulton, a man of Irish parentage, whose steamboat the Clermont was propelled by an engine built by English manufacturers in Birmingham, working uix)n a principle discovered by the Scotch inventor Watt, we were reminded of our many-sided indebtedness to Great Britain for the development of an invention which has promoted the commerce of all nations and conduced so largely to the happiness and prosperity of man-kind. In the historical retrospect to which our Celebration naturally led, we have recalled our obligation to Great Britain for the fostering care with which she cherished the young plant of Colonial Life first set in the soil of our l)resent State by the Dutch, grafting it with her own stock i8i8 Minutes of Executive Committee and nourishing it with her own blood ; and we have been reminded of our debt to our English Motherland for the impress made upon our life and character by a century of her nurture. In all the thoughts which have come to us at this time, nothing has been a source of greater pride than the memory of our great Anglo-Saxon heritage of blood, language and institutions, and nothing has been a cause of greater happiness than the knowledge of the indissolubility of the bonds of true affection between your Peoiple and ours, AVhich have withstood the vicissitudes of political change and which still maintain the unity at heart of the English- speaking race. May we indulge the hope that as your great Navi- gator and our great Inventor represent the genius wihidi has conquered the wilderness of the Sea and brought all nations together in more intimate initercourse. so our two countries may cooperate as one people in promoting those amenities between all nations which shall conduce to the peace and happiness of the whole world. Again thanking Your Majesty for the idisitinguislied consideration which you have shown to those whom we have the honor to represent, we remain, with great respect, Your Majesty's faithful friends, Stewart L. Woodi-ord, President Andrew Carnegie Joseph H. Choate Frederick D. Grant Seth Low J. PiERPONT Morgan Levi P. Morton Alton B. Parker John E. Parsons Horace Porter Herman Ridder Frederick W. Seward Francis Lynde Stetson Oscar S. Straus J AS. Grant Wilson Vice-Presidents Isaac N. Sei.igman, Treasurer Henrv W. Sackett, Seeretary Edward Hagaman Hall, [seal] Assistant Secretary August 19, 1910 1819 The King replicl in tiic following words : General : It is with feelings of deep emotion that I receive this address from you and the Executive Officers of the Hud- son-Fulton Celebration Commission of the State of New York, for its words were chosen to be addressed to my dear Father, who, together with his Government, had so cordially associated himself with the Festival for the com- memoration of the three hundredth anniversary of the dis- covery of the Hudson River and the one hundredth anni- versary of the inauguration of steam navigation upon that River. I sincerely thank you for the friendly sentiments con- tained in your address, and also for tlie Official Gold Aledal struck by the Commission as a memento of the two events commemorated, and I know that it will be prized by the Government of this country as a memento of the Festival, and as an evidence of that friendship and hospitality which were so warmly extended towards those who represented the Government on that occasion. I most heartily join in the hope expressed by you and the signatories to the Address, that our two countries may ever work together in the promotion of everything which is conducive to the peace and ha]:)piness of the whole world.

Transfer of the Half Moon. The Secretary reported that pursuant to the action of the Executive Committee on June 10, Col. Satterlee trans- ferred the Half Moon to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission on July 15, 19 10. Recommendation Concerning the Disposition of the Clermont. The Secretary reported that immediately prior to the meeting of the Executive Committee there had been a meeting of die Joint Committee on the final disposition of iSiO Minutes of Executive Committee the Half Moon and Clermont and that that Committee had adopted a resolution reconmiending to the Executive Com- mittee that the Clermont be turned over to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission upon substantially the same terms as those upon which the Half Moon was committed to the custody of that Commission. In order that a more definite understanding might be reached with the Palisades Commission upon the subject, the meeting adjourned without action, subject to the call of the Secretary. Henry W. Sackett, Edward Hagaman Hall, Secretary. Assistant Secretarw l82I Minutes of Executive Committee September 13, 1910 A meeting of the Executive Committee was held, pur- suant to call, in the office of the Secretary in the Tribune Building, No. 154 Nassau street, New York City, Tuesday, September 13, at 2 p. m.

Clermont Sold to the Hudson River Day Line The Secretary reported that the Joint Committee on the Disposition of the Half Moon and Clermont had met im- mediately before the meeting of the Executive Committee and had unanimously adopted a resolution recommending that the Clermont and her outfit be delivered to the Hudson River Day Line in consideration of the assumption by the Day Line of all outstanding bills against the Clermont, the making of the necessary repairs so as to preserve the ves- sel, and in addition thereto the payment to the Commission of the sum of $1,000, making a total consideration equiva- lent to $2,361.85. 1 822 Minutes of Executive Committee In explanation of the action of the Joint Committee the Secretary recalled the action of that Committee on August 19, recommending to the Executive Committee that the Clermont be turned over to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission upon substantially the same terms as those upon which the Half Moon was committed to the custody of that Commission and the action of the Executive Com- mittee on the same date deferring action upon this recom- mendation until it could be learned whether the Palisades Commission would make the repairs necessar\' to put the Clermont in commission. On August 20, the Secretary had! written to the Palisades Commission in regard to this matter and under date of August 2^ had received the fol- 'owing reply: I COMMISSIOXERS OF THE PALISADES INTERSTATE PARK Office of the Secretary 31 Nassau Street. New York City. August 25, 1910. Hon. Henry W. Sackett. Secretary, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, 154 Xassau Street. Xew York City. Mv dear Colonel Sackett: I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 20th inst., addressed to me as Secretar\% asking if my Com- mission would take the Clermont as she now is, free from all past charges, put her in proper condition and care for her the same as the Half ]\Ioon. The Committee to which this matter has been referred has canvassed this situation, in the light of the information in your letter, ver\' carefully. It was our understanding. when the matter of taking over the Clermont was first broached, that that vessel would be offered to us on the same conditions as was the Half Moon : that is. that she would be put in commission and turned over at our moor- ings without cost. In that case, the vessel was calked and painted at an expense of nearly S800. and was towed by a Xa\'}' Yard tug up the river. It now transpires that the proposition with reference to the Oermont embodies an expenditure, after the cleaning September 13, 1910 1823 up by your Commission of all of the debts which are now- held against it, of about $1,050, in order to put her in proper and safe condition to be towed to permanent moor- ings and maintained there, and that the expense of doing so would fall on the Palisades Commission. If our Commission had funds available for this jjurpose we would be only too glad to take over the Clermont and care for her permanently in the same way that we are handling the Half Moon, anrl keep the two vessels to- gether as they should be ; but we are entirely without funds available for the purpose of putting the Clermont in con- dition, and we do not feel that we can incur this additional obligation without any means in sight of being reimbursed. Accordingly, our Committee regrets to say that it will not be possible for the Palisades Commission to accept the proposition as presented in your said letter. I am informed by Mr. Perkins, President of the F^ali- sades Interstate Park Commission, that he has already written Mr. Olcott that the proposition made by Mr. Olcott to take over and care for the Clermont will be satisfactory to the members of the Palisades Commission. Very truly yours, J. DuPratt White, Secretary. The Secretary also laid before the Committee the follow- ing correspondence : Letter dated August 29. 1910, from Mr. Henry K. Bush- Brown, addressed to Mr. Herman Ridder, transmtting copy of a letter dated November 21, 1909, from him and others, constituting a committee of the American Scenic and His- toric Preservation Society, addressed to the Hudson-Fulton Commission, requesting that the Half Moon and the Cler- mont be given into the custody of that society, the letter of August 29th renewing this request with respect to the Cler- mont ; letter dated August 31, 1910, from the Secretary of the Commission to Mr. Bush-Brown, asking in what man- ner it was proposed to care for the Clermont, the estimated cost thereof, and the resources of the society for maintain- ing the vessel: letter dated September 3d from Mr. Bush- Brown to the Secretary, replying to the foregoing inquiries ; letter dated September 6th from the Secretary to Mr. Bush- 1824 Minutes of Executive Committee Brown inviting him to be present at the meeting of the Executive Committee ; and letter from Mr. Bush-Brown dated September 12th, to the Secretary, regretting his in- ability to be present on account of absence in Washington. The Secretary also laid before the Trustees the follow- ing letter from Mr. Eben E. Olcott, President and General Manager of the Hudson River Day Line : HUDSON RIVER DAY I.INE, Desbrosses Street Pier. New York, August 31, 1910. Col. Henry W. Sackett, Secretary, Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, 154 Nassau Street, New York City. My Dear Col. Sackett. — Answering yours of the 27th, I would say that almost any day between September 9th and 14th will suit me perfectly for a meeting. With your per- mission, I will bring Capt. George A. White, our Assistant General Manager, with me, as questions may arise regard- ing the care of the vessel which the Committee would like to discuss on the spot. We are presented with a somewhat difficult problem. The Clermont was built as much like the original open box as possible, representing the construc- tion before the introduction of the hog frame and tie rods so that the boat now requires special care and must be kept up in every way, the decks well caulked, ail exposed timbers frequently painted and great care must be taken not to have the boat break down in the middle where she is not quite strong enough to stand the weight of the working of the machinery. This is a fault which Fulton discovered and he had to rebuild before the second season. All these things make it a somewhat difficult matter to get anybody who wants to assume the responsibility for the care of the vessel and the chances of getting any returns seem almost negligible. As reported at the last meeting, it seems inevitable that Si, .^61. 85 should be expended at once and every day the decision is put off is apt to increase, somewhat, the neces- sary amount, so that on all accounts the earliest possible decision should be reached. Capt. White, who knows much more about the care of wooden vessels than I do, believes that the boat will be September 13, 1910 1825 almost a white elephant on our hands and has systemati- cally advised against our even becoming custodian. We have so many big propositions before us that he says that the care of one little boat additional will be almost unbear- able, but, at the same time, I have a pride in the matter and stand by my offer still, but must have the right to withdraw it unless my terms are accepted soon. Dr. Hall asked my son whether we would accept the ves- sel. Of course I would prefer to have the Commission realize something from it. You also say that you desire to dispose of the vessel so that it will not entail future ex- pense. In view of these two suggestions. I have decided to take the bull by the horns and offer to take the vessel over with its outfit, to pay all outstanding bills and the necessary repairs so as to preserve this interesting memento of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration for the longest possible time, and, besides paying these expenses, hand to the Coinmission the sum of $1,000 on the receipt of the necessary docu- ments to transfer the vessel and outfit to the Hudson River Day Line. This I feel is the very best offer I can make. It ties up a little money and involves a lot of trouble with no chance of getting it back, and the investment is almost sure to go on increasing from year to year. I do not wish to urge favorable consideratio'U of this proposition at all, for on most accounts I should be much better pleased to let the Interstate Park Commission take the vessel. Our plan would be, if our proposition is accepted, to take care of the vessel at Desbrosses street during the winter, where it will be open for inspection, and probably next summer to put it at Poughkeepsie, the half way point be- tween New York and Albany. Very truly yours, E. E. Olcott. A general discussion followed, participated in by Mr. Ridder, Dr. Kunz and Mr. Sackett, the consensus of opinion being that in view of the financial deficit of the Commission the offer of the Hudson River Day Line should be accepted, especially as the Clermont would thus be placed in the hands of those familiar with the management of the vessel and in whose public spirit and disposition to carry out the original intention of the Clermont the Executive Committee had confidence. Mr. Sackett also quoted Mr. 1826 Minutes of Executive Committee Francis Lynde Stetson, who was unable to be present, as being decidedly in favor of this disposition under the cir- cumstances, having expressed the opinion that if the vessel were given away gratuitously, while bills of the Commission remained unpaid, a creditor of the Commission might com- pel its return. It was finally voted unanimously that the proposition of the Hudson River Day Line, embodied in the letter of its President and General Manager before quoted, be accepted. J\Ir. Olcott expressed his thanks for the confidence im- plied by the action of the Committee and pledged his company to handle tlie Clermont for the glory and 'honor of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission.

'tu 1 846 I 1 Minutes of Commission Meeting May 17, 191 1 The Annual Meeting of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission was held, pursuant to call, in the library of the Staats Zeitung building. No. 182 William street, New York City, on Wednesday, May 17, 191 1, at 3 o'clock p. m. In addition to those named as at the Trustees' meeting there were present Mr. Henry L. Bogert, Mr. Joseph L. Delafield, Hon. Frank L. Dowling, Air. Charles F. Erick- sen, Mr. Clarence E. Leonard, and Dr. Gustav Scholer. General Woodford presided. Recess for Trustees' Meeting. In the absence of the President, the Acting President, the Hon. Herman Ridder, called the meeting to order. He said that the Commission meeting had been called simul- taneously with the Trustees' meeting, above recorded, in order that the Commission might listen to the Trustees' proceedings and ratify them. He then said that he would entertain a motion for a recess, but requested the members who were not Trustees, as well as the Trustees, to remain. Upon motion, the meeting then took a recess until the conclusion of the Trustees' meeting. Report of Trustees' Meeting. Upon reassembling. President Woodford called the meet- ing to order and the Secretary reported to the Commission the proceedings of the Trustees at their meeting just held. Address by General Woodford The President then spoke substantially as follows : " Gentlemen : It must be pleasant to all of us to feel that our work is drawing to an end. I doubt if any of us May 17, 191 1 1847 at the beginning realized how large a task we had under- taken. I think none of us in our most hopeful moments ever dreamed that the celebration would work out so suc- cessfully as it did. Wherever I went abroad, compliments were paid most generously. Military and naval officers and old diplomatists really vied with each other in compliment- ing the accuracy of details, the breadth of scope and the remarkable success which attended the carrving out of what we were doing. Abroad, 1 believe the celebration has materially strengthened our international friendships. • i\t home, every nationality had a part in the fetes and I be- lieve they are better citizens in consequence. A remarkable feature of our work has been the unanimity of the councils of the Commission, which was composed of chosen men of strong characters from all parts of the State and particu- larly from 200 miles of the Hudson \"alley. Such a result could have been produced only by men actuated by the most unselfish public spirit. For the friendship and support that I had from each one of you during our active work I want to thank you. " I should be doing injustice to my own feelings, and I'm sure that all of you would think me remiss, if I did not particularly acknowledge the loyal support and very valu- able work of Mr. Ridder. There never was a time when we needed money that he did not get into the gap and see that it was raised. There never was a thing that needed to be done but that he found a way to do it, or have it done." Turning to Mr. Ridder and grasping him by the hand. General Woodford concluded by saying: " I respected you very highly before we began ; before the end I felt that I had gained the best thing a man ever gets in life, a real good friend." Address by Mr. Ridder ]Mr. Ridder then spoke substantially as follows : " In replying to General Woodford's very generous and complimentary remarks, I would say that all I desire is that he will give me the credit for being a good and obedient chief of staff. In some way or other I have monopolized a large share of the credit, and because I have marched at the head of parades, etc., credit has been given me ; but the success of the celebration was not due to any one per- 1848 Minutes of Commission Meeting son. It was due to the co-operation of every member of the Commission and thousands of pubHc-spirited citizens throughout the State. I wish particularly to commend the services of two of the executive staff. One of them is the Secretary, Col. Sackett, generous, noble, self-sacrificing, who modestly kept in the background but who worked in- cessantly and to whom the successful conduct of affairs was in large measure due. Another man entitled to credit is Dr. Hall, the Assistant Secretary. His complete history of the celebration is a valuable work which we can leave to our children, and a book which a hundred years from now will be consulted by those conducting other celebra- tions, " I wish to take this occasion to congratulate the local committees along the Hudson on the success of their cele- brations, which were proportionately equal in brilliancy to those in New York. I thank the members of the Com- mission for their confidence and support, and in behalf of the Commission I thank the Governors of the State, the Mayors, Village Presidents and other municipal authorities of the cities and villages, and the citizens at large, who so generously co-operated in giving their time, services, and money to make the celebration a success. Owing to this support the Commission closes its affairs out of debt." Mr. Ridder concluded by saying that the unfinished busi- ness consisted of (a) a claim for injuries in parade; (b) the completion of the distribution of the books of the cele- bration ; (c) the printing of the final minutes and binding copies for public libraries; and (d) final audit of accounts. He then asked for a resolution ratifying all the proceedings recorded in the printed minutes and the proceedings of Trustees' meeting just held. General Ratification of Proceedings. The following resolution was then unanimously adopted: Resolved, That all the proceedings of the Hudson-Ful- ton Celebration Commission, its officers, Executive Commit- tee and Board of Trustees, recorded in the printed minutes, together with the proceedings of the Trustees' meeting heretofore held this day, be and they are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.

The attendance was the same as at the fifty-eighth meeting. Election of Fifty Trustees. Mr. Fitch, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, re- ferring to the election of 100 Trustees by the Commission as provided by the charter, and 50 additional Trustees as provided by chapter 277 of the laws of 1909, stated that there was some doubt as to whether the latter, after their first election by the Trustees as provided in chapter 277, should be chosen annually by the Commission or the Board of Trustees. Last year, to avoid any question, they were elected by both the Commission and the Trustees, and this year, in order to pursue the same course, the Nominating Committee had addressed its report to both bodies. He therefore moved that the fifty Commissioners named in the report as nominated under chapter 277 of the laws of 1909 be also elected by the Board of Trustees, and that the Secretary be directed to cast a single ballot in behalf of the Board for the nominees. " The motion was adopted unanimously, and the ballot having been cast as directed, the nominees were declared elected. e May 17, 191 1 185 o Election of Oflu'crs.

Mr. Bergen recalled that at the meeting of the Executive Committee on June 10, 1909 (page 1808-9) he, Mr. Sackett and Dr. Kunz were appointed a committee to erect a tablet in Amsterdam, Holland, acknowledging the gift of the Half Moon, the tablet to be erected without expense to the Com- mission and the plans therefor to be submitted to the Execu- tive Committee or Board of Trustees for approval. He said that since that date he had written informally to the officers of the Netherlands Hudson-Fulton Commission, and had received a pleasant reply from Mr. J. T. Cremer. Mr. Cremer said that they would be delighted to receive such a tablet and assist in arranging for its erection. Mr. Cremer also suggested that it could be placed on the inner wall of the Colonial Building in Amsterdam, which would be finished next winter. As the Trustees or Executive Committee of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration Commission might not meet again, Mr. Bergen moved that the resolution of June 10, 191 o, be May 17, 191 I 1855 amended so as to substitute the executive officers of the Commission in their place as the authority to whom the plans for the tablet should be submitted for approval. Carried. The meeting then adjourned. Henry Sackett, Secretary. Edward Hagaman Hall, Assistant Secretary.
