Of FIVE minutes from the Elysian Fields
brought me to the fatal spot where, in 1904,
on the eleventh Of July, Alexander Hamil-

Society, marked the exact spot of the fatal
encounter, and even as late az last year,
when visited the spot. a cedar tree against
which Hamilton stood while the seconds
We're arranging the preliminaries, was still
sIandng. Now, however, the nearly com
pieted bed of the West Side railroad has
destroyed the tree, beside every vestige of
the narrow ledge on which the principals
stood. After the monument had disap-
pearcd, two granite boulders occupied its
place, with the names Hamilton and Burr
inscribed upon them respectively. After a
somewhat prOtracted search, we found the
one marked Hamilton but the one With
Burr on it was nowhere to be seen. In
Quiring of gang Of track-layers in regard
