Raising "Old Glory"

NEW YORK, April 25,-On the
Jersey coast, where the Navesink
Highlands look down in quiet
grandeur on the dunes of Sandy
Hook, the old flag which once
tloated over the Bon Homme Rich
ard will be unfurled today on the
first of the national liberty poles.
The flag was designed from Wash
'ingtOn'S coat of arms, and made
under the direction of one John
Brown by the Misses Mary and
Sarah Austin, in l177, in Philadel-
phia. The 5-pointed star was used
by direction of General Washing
ton. The flag was first carried by
Captain Jones on small vessel on
the Schuylkill river. In the en-
gagement between the Bon
Homme Richard and the Scraps
the mast from which was flown
the flag was shot away, carrying
"Old Glory" with it. Lieutenant
James b. Stafford, father of the
present owner of the flag, plunged
overheard, secured the nag ana
nailed 1t to another mast. The
nail holes are plainly shown in the
flag today.
The flag was afterward carried
as the ensign of the frigate AL
lance, and then presented to Lieu
tenant Stafford, who left it to his
son Samuel. The flag is tattered
and torn, and its many bullet holes
are carefully patched. One of the
original stripes had to be removed
and new one put in, otherwise
the flag is the original one. 1t has
only twelve stars, as it was made
before Georgia came into the
Union. 1t is about six feet square,
and a part of one end is torn Off.
