LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.
Some Odd Phases of Her March to
Greatness.
XXIII.

The interest evinced in the chronology OF old
New-York by the readers of The Tribune is
gratifying to the writer. 1t should be known
however that the task of gathering the smallest
OF the items which in themselves are explana
tory is not OF day but is one which consumes
a considerable delving time. Again, verifcatfon
must be had to make them authoritative. Be
cause of these reasons the writer asks that in
formation seekers be patient. answers will be
given in the order in which they are received
Here is the answer to the president of the Brook
lyn Bowling Green Club:
In March, 1872. it was resolved That this
corporation will lease piece of land lying at the
lower end of Broadway. fronting to the Fort to
some of the inhabitants OF the said Broadway. in
order to be inclosed to make a bowling green
thereof with walks therein. for the beauty and
ornament of said street, as well for the
recreation and delight of the inhabitants of the
city leaving the street on each side thereof fifty
feet in breadth" John Chambers. Peter Bayard
and Peter Jay lovers of sport, in accordance
with this resolution hired the ground for a
term of eleven years, paying rent therefor
one peppercorn a year. and prepared il for the
game of bowls. After their lease expired John
Chambers. Colonel PhiIlipse and John Roosevelt
became the lessees for another eleven years
paying 20 shillings a year for the privilege OF
playing the game.
Another correspondent asks why New-York is
called Gotham" Gotham satircally ap-
piled by Washington Irving in 1907 to the city
Of Nevg-York in one of the "Salnagundi"
pa pers, entitled Chronicles of the Renowned
and Ancient City of Gotham" most likely be-
cause of the simplicity of it's inhabitants in the
old days. He took the appellation from parish
of Nottinghamshire. England, called Gotham.

simplicity to avert a Kings anger.
