WHERE DID THE OLD CLERMoNT GO
Hull Thought to Have Been Buried on
Poughkeepsie Waterfront

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Perhaps some of the readers of The Tribune
will be interested In the following letter written
to '"The Poughkeepsie Eagle by A. S Pease. about
Fulton's Clermont. Mr.. Pease for many years

time of "The Daily Press" of this city but moved
away from here in the time of the Civil War. He

what finally became Of the Clermont; Do YOU
Baldwinsvle. N. Y. Aug. IS. 1907.
In confirm alton of Mr.. Pease's interesting recol-
Iections about the old Clermont / have several
times heard the statement made by old river men
that the hrll OF the Clermont was buried in the
dock filling somewhere near the foot OF Pine
street which used to be the old Lower Landing at
this city. When writing the History of Pough-
keepsie several years made efforts to verify
this tradition without very much success. but I
came to the conclusion that II was probably true,
unless there more than one boat known by
the name of Clermont In fact according TO ad-
vertsements In the old Poughkeepsie papers there
was no steamboat known the Clermont. officially
at least, in the year of Fultons first voyage or
for several years thereafter. The boat was al
ways advertised the North River steamboat.
Perhaps some reader of The Tribune who may see
this throw some light upon the subject

one and two miles Ia extent.
The photograph 10 the right is taken OF
the bOttlinS room in the warehouse.
Speer'S Port Crane Wine and his Bur
gundy are the wines popular and eX-
tensively used TO prolOng the life Of aged
persons. and especially ConsumptiveS. It's
extra value is on account of the superior
medical properties from the abundance Of
iron in the soil in this part OF New Jersey.
All the dark color Of the grape. and
thence in the wine, is iron from the soil
in which the grapes grow. Can't raise
white grapes here; they require limestone
soil Parties who cannot procure Speer
wines from their Grocer or Druggist write
to Passaic for prices and order direct.
