the celebration in 1910 OF tbs discovery of the Hud-
son River by Henry Hudson. General Stewart L.
Woodford. president of the committee. was se-
lected as chairman. The principal subjects talked
over were the building OF a suitable memorial arch
or bridge in commenloTatien of the event, as well
as building to hold all relics and historical rec
oTds Of the celebration
The building. IT was said, should be in this city
or one Of the nearby towns along the Hudson and
the arch, If that was decided on instead OF the
bridge. should stand at the main entrance TO Gen.
tral Park II the bridge were thought to be a bet
ter memorial, some members of the committee be-
ieved II should be built in the neighborhood Of the
Palisades. The suggestion for Worlds Fair in
New-oYrk City any adjoining town appeared
to be strongly opposed by the committee, who
thought 1t would be waste of money to carry out
such project.
Great naval and land parades, it said. would
be fitting for the occasion and entertainments and
other affairs could be provided for during the cele-
Dration. 1t was also pointed out that President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root of the War Department.
Governor Higgins and Mayor Mcclellan should be
consulted regarding the scope and plan for the
event. which the committee expects to make
of the greatest in the world. The matter was much
discussed and It finally resulted in sub commit
tee being appointed. with instructions to confer
with the Mayor and Governor before reporting at
the next meeting
Charles Stewart Smith proposed that the arch sug
gested should be like the one In Paris IT was sug-
gested by another member of the committee to have
public institution for the keeping of all relics and
documents constructed at Verplanck's Point
The proposition to have the building constructed
at Eerplancks Point was opposed by Henry W;
Sackett, chairman of the committee, who declared
that the agitation have the structure there looked
like move to boom real estate. Some of the
men interested in the movement, he said, were in
terested in real estate there The northern part OF
Manhattan Island, he commended, stands to-day in
the same form of natural beauty as 1t Gid when
Henry Hudson sailed up the river, and the Palisades

particular desire to take Commissioner Nc
Adoos place but he might do it If strongly
urged by the Mayor. He made the speech norni-
mating Mcclellan at the last Tanlmany city con-
gention. He thinks that Mr.. Mcclellan is about
the finest Mayor that New-York ever had. and
frequently calls at the City Hall to advise with
him
II is understood that the Mayors personal
preference is for military man, of the type of
General f V. Greene The objection 10 an
Official OF that type is that usually he is wofully
ignorant of the devious ways of the grating"

CONNECTICUT FARMS FOR SALE CHEAP.

Connecticut farms are surprisingly cheap-thrill-
ingly cheap--suspiciousIy cheap. Nor is this true
only of abandoned farms" New Englsnders are
abnormally sensitive to that dread phrase. Wit
ness these words from the secretary OF the State
Board of Agriculture. 'Hrhere are no abandoned
farms in Connecticut. There are farms for sale
in various portions of the State but they all have
private owners
Of course they do; who else would own a farm ?
You cannot drive through the remote hills of Con-
nectcut without seeing plenty or vacant farm
houses. Why. then, this evasion? The official ex-
PLANTATION Is that some of these farms ought never
to have been titled, because they are alleged to
be too steep and rocky the rest of them they try
to explain away by some plausible ctrcumlocution
which boiis down TO this private ownership alb
surdity.

veil the big, hard fact that sticks out and hits a.
stranger-there are lots OF farms that are not
worked for prodt.-CCountry Life IN America.
