Serge was the most breakneck rider in

the most part he was alone when he per-
formed his wild exploits, but from in
stinctive contempt for danger. One fine
morning. clearing hedge six feet high

stumbled and fell on its side. A touch
Of the spur made it spring up, but when
Serge tried to spur the other side, that on
which it had fallen, he suffered excruciat-
ing pain. Fortunately it was the last
hedge, else he would have had some
difficulty in getting home. He pushed
on, however. and reached the entrance /:
but when he endeavored to rest his foot
on the stirrup to alight, he found it abso-
lutely impossible, and amid the lamenta-
tons Of the servants who had gathered
around, he had to let himself be taken
down from his horse and be dragged, as
he said, like bundle to his bed.
When he was duly unbooted and ex-
amined the supreme indifference with
which he allowed himself to be handled
and moved about, spite Of the paleness Of
his face, did not lessen the fact that he
had seriously fractured his tbia.

crowd OF rejoicing citizens, and saw for
the first time in several years the fair
city of their love. But what a change.
They came to a city of ruins How had
not New York suffered? II was a pic
ture of despair, hghtened only by the
new era of hope.
In the evening there WAS memorable
dinner at Francis Tavern, on the cor
nGr OF Broad and Pearl streets. The
room is still shown, almost unchanged,
where Washington, Clinton, and the
heroes of New York met at this tri-
umphsl banquet. It's fair was solid and
plain. ToasIs were pledged to all who
aided the cause of freedom-the French
King, the United Netherlands, the
Northern powers. With one heart they
exclimed: MAY America be the asylum
to the prosecuted of the earthI' "MaY
the remembrance of this day be lesson
To princesi'' "The memory of the heroes
who have fallen for our freedom" All
was excitement and hope. A display of
fireworks was given few days later.
OF the touching traits of the festal
season were the congratulations Nov

Clinton by the exiled patriots, and their
ECpklft- may J1S tranquility Oh your
city be perpetuali" wrote Washington !;
"may the ruin be repaired ~ ITO yolr
sufferings, and the invincible spirit
with which they were surmounted,"
wrote Clinton, 81 have been witness"
The 25th of November was long the
great day OF New York. Lambert, who
landed here in 1907, describes it in its
early arGor. The military assembled,
the people came out in crowds. The
ContinentaIs, in buff and blue, acted
again the scenes OF the evacuation they
took possession of the abandoned forts,
and marched in triumph to the Battery.
Slowly the observance died away. Yet
it is the celebration of the new birthday
of New York No State had suffered so
much from the terrors of war, none pro-
fitted 50 largely from their results. The
city sprung up at once from its ruins to
become the metropolis of the continent,
Its pIople were fu1l of energy and hope,
its wharves were hid in forest of masts,
its streets were gay with trade. In the
seventeen years from the evacuation to
1910 its population rose from 10000 to
0,000-a three-fOld increase; 1t passed
on before Philadelphia and Boston, and
was the chief city of the West. 1t is
well for New York to celebrate yearly
the birth OF its freedom with glad re-
joicings, and remember with tender
gratitude the brave and honest souls
who in their suffering laid the found
atoms of Its prosperity.
