banking institutions but the seeds Of mercantile
triumphs which came TO NewYork in later
years were being scattered by the enterprising
and thrifty merchants of the city. Many Of the
large merchants had their living apartments
over their stores and there were only a few
with whom a business day did not being early in
the morning and end long after nightfan. There
was sharp rivalry between the merchants, but
worked for the advancement of their respective
business concerns, they were all deeply inter
ested in the development of the city and its
co lmerce. The first meeting place for mer-
chants" the New-York Exchange" was estab-
lshed il March, 1910 The members of this
body met every Friday morning at the bridge
which crossed the ditch at Broad-st., at Ex
change Place. Near this meeting place was a
steep hill, which favorite coasting place
in winter, the descent from Broadway to the
bridge Feinc sharp one. In those days land on
nothing by people who would build there;
house near the plot which the Broad-Ex-
change Building now stands could be rented for
$25 year. The ditch in Broad-st. was filed in
late in 1876. and that part of the city made
level with the Ian : about it. The tan pits were
removed to Maiden Lane. The city had "ex-
cessive expenses at that time. and to provide

worth over 1 900 guilders. One of the first
large land purchases for business purposes was
that of the plot bounded by Maiden Lane,
Broadway Ann-st. and a line between William
and Gold SITS. The purchasers were four shoe
nckers who were also tanners, and who used
the land for their own business There were at
that time four beer and six wine taverns in
New-York. and everybody was allowed to cut
wood on the island at distance of one mile
from a house.
The first native born Mayor Of New-York was
Stephen Van Cortlandt, who appointed to
the office in 1917. He was thirty-fOUr years old
when he became Mayor. and with his wife, who
was the beautiful Gertrude Schuyler, of Albany,
lived in grand style in q fine house at Pearl and
Broad sts.
On the marshes Of Broad-st. and the broad
lanes and gardens near Bowling Green buildings
have been erected which, in size, splendor and
equipment were beyond the imagination Of the
sturdy men who lived there when New-York's
existence began. Where the report of the sports
mans gun resounded in those days the air is
now filled with the din of business, and where
ground could have been owned for the asking
it is now held at prohbitory prices On that
part of the island which was almost a wilder
ness a hundred years after the appointment of
the first Mayor is now the architecturally beau
tifuI centre of the metropolis, while of the
splendid mansions and the great shops that
gave the name New-York prominence even n
its early days only the records remain.
On the site now occupied by the office build
ing No 80 Broadway stood the tents which
sheltered the first white who came on the
island At Cherry-st. and Franklin Square,
which is now under the Brooklyn Bridge, stood
the house which Washington occupied when he
was inaugurated as the first President Of the
republic and where the new Custom House IS
now being erected stood Fort Amsterdam which
was later the residence of Governor Clinton.
Many Of the great changes, and Improvements
in New-York which followed in the wake of
enterprise were witnessed by the middle aged
people Of to-day, and some of the vigorous
financial and commercial leaders remember dis
tinctIy the time when Twenty -third-st- was
