Story of a Famous London Street.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Downing street. which is proposed to
take legislative steps to stop up and dis.
continue as thoroughfare." had a fairly
long and interesting history before its Of.
fetal record commences.
1t owes it's name and origin to Sir
George Downing. a political Vicar OF
Bray. who was one of Cromwells favor
lite chaplains. and later so ingratiated
himself with Charles III that the King
heaped substantial favors on him, includ-
ing the gift of valuable tract Of land on
which Downing street arose. Downing
built -four plain square brick mansions"
on II with back fronts to st. James
Park. "fit for persons OF honor and quail
ity. each having a pleasant prospect, with
terras walk" In the eighteenth CEN
fury the street had degenerated into shah.
biness. most OF the dingy buildings were
used as lodging houses. and at the King
street end was a rather low chop house,
the Cat and Bagpipes. patronized by Bos-
well. while In one of the houses Smollett
struggled to earn living as a surgeon.
1t was only in 1875. when Sir Robert Wal
pole moved from st. James square to the
famous No. 10. that Downing street first
assumed the official character which has
made 1t the most famous street In the
world

with the blood streaming from a wound
in his right temple. while a revolver was
by his side. Foley was twenty-four years
