becoming used to the halter, young
horses are easily taught TO back by the

the way from Hunters Point to Flush

names as La Rogue, Blackwell, Law
renee, Riker, Rapefye, Holmstrom, Pot

to realize that this little colony across
the river was indeed the home of the
very leaders of New York. Great
weather-worn mansions still stand
there to testify how stoutly they were
built, and on how stately q plan; but
they are shut in to-day among cheap
modern dwellings, with here and there
a mill or a factory. Buildings crowd in
on the burial places of these old New
Workers on every side, and the whole
Astoria district is taking on the appear
