The starr and Stripes.

1t is related that the flag which was
raised at Cambridge Jan. ., 1776, BY Wash
lngton was composed of thirteen red and
white stripes, with the crosses of st. George
and 81. Andrew emblazoned on the blue
canton in place Of the stars. This flag was
also carried by the fleet under command of
Commander Esek Hopkins when il sailed
from the Delaware capes, Feb. Il, 1776. In
the following year, June IA, l7ss7, the con-
tlnental congress passed resolution That
the nag Of the United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that the
mon be thirteen stars, white on blue
held, representing a new constellation. 4"
How or 10y whom the idea Of the star was
hrSt suggested is uncertain. although there
are some who ascribe it 70 John Adams
while Others claim the entire flag was Dor
rowed from the coat Of arms of the Wash
ington family.
