HOW WALL STREET STARTED.
Defense, Was Origin of the Best
Known Thoroughfare In America.

On the morning of March 81,
| 1644, man of clerkly appearance
might have been seen standing at the
entrance to the dilapidated fortress
| OF New Amsterdam, with a sheaf OF
| official papers in his hands. says
| Frederick Trevor Hill in Harper g
| Magazine, 1t was not an inviting
| prospect that confronted the observ-

roughly built, wooden houses scatter

er-beaten, and the struggling. III
made roads and paths which served
as streets were Uttered with refuse
and rubbish OF every sort and ankle
deep in mud.
The man at the fort did not, how
ever, waste much time in gazing at
these discouraging surroundings
They were familiar to him in every
dreary detail, for Cornelius Van
Tienhoven had been Sc 'retary of the
council at New Amsterdam for many
years, and If he had ever been dis
turbed by the prevailing wretched-
ness OF the town, it had long since
ceased to afford him the slightest
concern. Slowly turning his back
tc the view, he tackled one of his
official documents to the wall of the
fort, and then swinging about and
picking his way across the miry
ground to a convenient tree, affixed
another paper.
Van Tienhoven's handwriting was
easily read. Indeed, good penman
ship was the only qualification hr
had ever displayed for his office
that virtue had wholly failed to en-
dear him to the populace, who hated
the very sight OF his clerical fist. The
particular notice he had transcribed
that morning, however, was singu-
larly free of offense. 1t merely re

Winner Is Half Sister to Orby,
Who Captured Derby Last
Year.

LONDON, May S.-The One Thou

winner.
Rhodora is a half sister to, Orby, Mr..
Croker's horse that won the DERBY
last year, is by st. Frusquin out OF the
American mare Rhoda d, and was bred
by Mr.. Croker. Rhodora won the Dew

at the same place.
She is engaged for the EPSON oaks,
but is not entered for the derby.
BY capturing this event Rhodora, Mr..

added another classic to the sporting
trophies already captured by the Amer
lear sportsman. She won today's event

MAY SELL
PERRING TO TOLEDO.

CLEVELAND, May S.-Manager La
joie of the Maps has turned down a
proposition from the Boston Club to
swap George Stovall for Bob Unglaub,
feeling assured the Kansas City butcher
is a more valuable man than the Will
Transport inspector of sewers. The
Clevelands are well provided in all de-
partments save the infield. and Secre-
tary Ernest Barnard is off on a still
hunt for a capable understudy to Terry
Turner, who is hardly likely to resume
his position at short before Decoration
Day. Both George Mil and young Per-
ring, who have tried to fill Turner's
shoes, have proved f~izzles, and, as La
joie wants to keep the Maps near the
top, the Cleveland Club is making
strenuous efforts to land a good utility
la who can cover short.
1t is believed that Jap Barbeau, now
with Toledo. will be re~purchased from
the Mudhens, Armour and the Cleve-
land management being on friendly
terms. Toledo probably will get in ex-
change for the diminutive infielder Per-
ring and a pitcher Walter Clarkson
was slated to go to Toledo, but baked,
and now is managing a hoe store here.
Provided waivers can be obtained on
Chech and Perring, these players will
go to Toledo and Barbeau will don a
Cleveland uniform.

off; fancy diving. from one and three
metre sp%ringboards.
The committee will select from the
place men in the tryouts the men for
the 200 metres team race. These try
outs are merely guides and the COM
mittee is by no means bound to take
the winner of any event if, in their
opinion, he stands no chance of win
ming. Entries will close with James E.
Sullivan, No. 81 Warren street, New
York, on May 23. An entrance fee of
81 per man for each event will be
charged. No prizes will be given, but
an Olympic diploma will be awarded
to those finishing first, second and
third.
The executive committee has also de-
cided to hold wrestling tryouts, catch
as-catch-can style, at the following
weights: Bantam. to 119 pounds:
feather, to 1873 pounds; light, to 147
bounds: middle, to 16l pounds; heavy,
