The New Albany EXPRESS revives
IN important celebration which took
place 88 years ago in the city Of New
York over tho Inauguration OF one of
the great wealth creating events Of
this century, which in its time, was
quite ~ important ~ the more SNOWY
events of this time, are in their day.
Tho Empress, referring to the great
naval review, says: "Msgnidcent 40
WAS tho naval review. it had no more
Significance, nor possibly was it more
interesting to the spectator Of today,
than the celebration which took place
there In November, 1925, was to the
people 1T that time. It was then that
tho f1rst canal boat from the Erie ca,
nal reached New York. It had as pas
rengers Governor Dewitt Clinton and
other state officials, and its most pre-.
cious merchandise WAS two casks of
water from Lake Erie. The boat left
Buffalo October :6, and though there
were no railroads, telegraphs or tele-
phones then. tho fact Of its departure
was made known in the city one hour
and half later This was done by
means Of cannons placed at regular in
tervsls along the entire ronte of the
canal and the Hudson River. The
firing OF cannon in Buffalo announced
the starting Of the boat. and one can
non after another repeated the salute,
until the last one was heard in New
York 81 minutes after the first one WIS
fired in Buffalo. There was great re-
j"icing. The boat was towtd out to
SANDY Hook, and the water from Lak-
Erie wss soltmuly poured into the At
lsntic OCEAN, together with water
from the Ganges, the Indus. tho Nile,
the S~inc, the Rhine, the Danube. the
OrinOco. tho La Plata and other grta!
waterways. Naval vessels of the
United States and England took part
in the administration. The Salama-
xundi Club is now arranging to take
relics Of that particular canal boat to
the Chicago Fair, aud proposes that
water from the Atlantic be-, in like
fashion, poured into Lake Michigan. -
