grander in scope was considered-the opening
OF a canal from the Hudson River TO Lake Erie.
The project was brought before the Assembly
in lSUS by Joshua Forman. and an approprta-
tion was granted for a preliminary survey
which was made by James GeddIs. The mat
ter was dropped for a year. but was revived in
March. 1910. Senator De Witt Clinton becom-
ing associated with it and remaining its most
efficient promoter until the end. The war with
England and the consequent disorder in the
finances of the country prevented the prose
cution Of the work for several years. on April
IL 1917. funds were provided for its construc-
ton, and nearly three months later ground was
broken at Rome y. Y, the middle section
The canal was opened for traffic in little more
than eight years
A great celebration took place along the line
OF the canal between the day of the letting in
Of the waters Of Lake Erie, October pc. 1928
and the day when Governor Clinton. from the
deck OF the Seneca Chief, poured from one OF
two elegant kegs, painted green, with gilded
hoops. fresh water brought from Lake Erie
into the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean. thus
IMPLYING the joining of the inland and the
outIand seas on November t. An extended &C
count Of this celebration is given in nearly all
histories and is known to all readers. Shortly
after the event the Corporation. OF New-YorN
prepared and sent to Buffalo a superb key.

An interesting occurrence in 1917 was the
seizure by the high constable of the city OF
quantity Of gunpowder belonging 10 the United
States which was being carted through the
streets unguarded and improperly packed. The
government sued for its return and recovered.
but the Corporation appealed TO the United
States Supreme Court, and its right to seize
was sustained. In this year also the Mayor
made a report OF the income and estate be-
longing TO Captain RandaIs legacy, and called
the Sailors Snug Harbor, as follows: Rents of
ninety-fve lots and I'VE houses, lob o. in
terest on stock holdings. S1,660 %; dividends
on bank fire anG insurance company stock,
81 476 Total. $3.50 o." Those who know may
compare this with to-day's income, and find
much that is interesting. Another record Is
the division of the city into ten wards and the
change of the name Of st. Georges-st. to Frank
lin Square Likewise, the giving Of the streets
east Of the Bowery, from First 10 Sixth, the
names of Chrystie, Forsyth. Eldridge. Allen and
Ludlow. after the names of military and naval
heroes OF the late war.

and in less than twenty years there were fifteen
lines of steamships between the two continents.

out Of this harbor. The Collins Line met with
misfortune. two OF its steamers being lost at
sea. in one Of which. the Arctic. the family of
the owner and nearly every one on board per-
ished. In 1855 it was discontinued.
The second event of Importance in 1917 was
the soHdfying into a legislative act of the whole
plan OF the Erie Canal on April II. This prof
ect was an evolution. Under the presidency Of
General Philip Schuyler. the Western Inland
Lock Navigation Company was Incorporated in
1892. for the purpose Of opening a communica-
tion by canal to Seneca Lake and Lake Ontario
and OF improving the Mohawk River Later, at

Nothing Cheap About Callahan.

Mean things are often said about the
mercenary side of a ball players life, but
it is a fact that the average man IN uni
form has a much higher idea of the dignity
of the profession than he is given credit
for" said First Baseman Hickman recently.
Down in Ravenna, Ohio, it was once-and
may be now-the custom to reward every
great play in the outfield Johnny on the
Spot If a man in the outer garden there
made a remarka BILE running catch he would
keep on running right up to the grand stand
for his pay even if there was but one out.
This pay meant an ovation and a shower OF
silver coins. One day several years ago,
when the New York and Chicago teams
were playing an exhibition game there
they were on their way home from their
training trip down south-Jimmy Callahan
made the most sensati onal one-handed run
ming catch in center field l have ever seen.
The 1,5OO spectators were on their feet at
once. and for two minutes it rained silver
There must have been $50 or $oO on the
grass in front of the grand stand Come
in and get your money!! yelled the crowd.
Callahan wouldn't bulge. The spectators
stormed and roared and finally Kissed
None of that for me- said Callahan after
the game Silver showers are all right IN
the 10. 20 and 30-cent circuits, but major
league man who would stoop to pick up
eratuitous coin flung to him from the
stands for doing his duty ought to hide his
head i'm shame We get enough TO live on
without presents from the crowds. -CleVe-

BOWLING BATTLES.
Barley of Market House Team Rolled
Three Fine Games.

The bowling contests last night Were eX-
ceptionally interesting on account of the
many big scores and the close figures at
the end of each game In the District
League, Bailey of the Market house team
bowled three remarkable games of 246 2}3
and 223, attaining the best average of the
season by a good margin. In the Depart
mental League, the Commissioners and
Agricultural teams had a battle royal, the
scores at the end of each game being very
close, making the contest exceptionally in
teresting.
The bowlers of the different leagues will
now nave a rest until January g, a sort
of recess on account of many of the men,
bers of the different organizations going
home for the holidays. In the meantime
the big tournament at the Palace alleys
will be nagurated. something like $100 be-
ing hung up in prizes, and the local bowl
ers will do their best TO get some of the
spells.
