Albany, n. y, Celebrates the Bi-Cen-
tennial of Its Incorporation.

When, in 1909, Hendrix Hudson left Hol-
land, it was with the intention of finding a
northwest passage to India and China, but
the nearest he came to the object OF his
search was Albany, n. y. As he entered
New York harbor, Coney Island, even had
no attraction for him. China or "bust,"
seems to have been his motto, for he even
gave the island of Manhattan the cold
shoulder, and sailed up the Hudson till his
craft, the Half Moon, was stuck in the mud.
The present city Of Hudson marks the spot.
From here the mPte and four sailors pad.
died up as far as Albany, but finding only
Indians, they turned back. Had Hudson's
mariners continued on to the present Troy,
they would have seen enough pigtails in the
celebrated laundries thereabout TO have led
them TO the belief that the Flowery King
dom could not be far away
On Hudson's return to Europe the an
nouncement of his discoveries aroused the
terprise of the old Dutch merchants and they
filled out several expeditions to investigate
the new land. These navigators explored
the American coast from Massachusetts to
Virginia pre-empting the whole territory
They would have continued their eXplora-
tions and laid claim TO the remainder of the
undiscovered earth, but for the fact that it
did not pay, it did not return what their
descendants call "boode.n So they turned
to the more profitable calling OF trading
with the natives That is exchanging cheap
gin and trnkets for the valuable skins and
hides collected by the Indians. As Albany
was at that time the great meeting ground
of the various tribes, it was chosen as the
most suitable site for trading post

after that he squeezed out the others In
the same way other PATRONS, as they were
called, staked off tracts of land on the Hud
son, living as feudal lords.
In 1864 the town was captured by the
English, and in 1886 Governor Dougan

EXPOSITION BUILDING.

The annual musical saengerfcst of the
German singing societies of America was
first inauguratel on large scale at Cincin-
natl. That was seventeen years ago. But
this year it is held in Milwaukee, in the
grandest style yet witnessed.
Milwaukee has been preparing for the
event two years. 1t is claimed her citizens
even elected German mayor, that he might
properly adorn the occasion and welcome
the excursonists in their native tongue. 1t
Is estimated that 100000 strangers came to
Milwaukee on this occasion. The fest began
July 81 and continues four days, The exer-
cises are held in the beautiful new Exposi-
tion building and consist of concerts and
social reunions.
One Of the financial hackers of the affail
is the millionaire pork packer, John Plank
inton. He offered prize of $1,000 for the

became a professional club, and White
played with them during the seasons of 1869,
1870, 1871 and 1872. He went to Boston and
remained during 1873, 1871 and 1915 In
the centennial year he, with Spalding,
Barnes and McVey, trans ferred themselves
to Chicago, being the first big four They
staid in the Garden City that season, but re-
