and the seat of a fashionable school for
young ladies, but it is a historic spot and
has been the home Of several famous
men.
When Benedict Arnold arranged for the
betrayal Of West Point he was to meet
Andre at Dobbs Ferry. The plans mis-
carried and he narrowly escaped capture
by a British gunboat After Andre had
been tried and sentenced to death Sir
Henry Clinton appealed to Washington
in his behalf and met Gen. Greene at
Dobbs Ferry to receive the answer.
Gen. Lincoln made his Headquarters
British forces camped there after the
battle of White Plains. and Lord Corn
wallis crossed the river from Dobbs into
New Jersey on his march southwark.
The Sons of the American Revolution
have placed a tablet upon an interesting
old house which Washington occupied
as his headquarters and have inscribed
upon it the following interesting histor-
ical facts:
Here, July 8. 1881. the French allies,
Here. August IA. 1881. Washington
planned the Yorktown campaign, which
brought to triumphant end the war for
American lnQepcndenCc.
Here. May q. 1883. Washington and Sir
Guy Carleton arranged for the evacuation
of American soil by the British.
"And opposite this point May 8. 1888. a

Tennis at Ardsley Club.
Just north of Dobbs Ferry is Ardsiey
Club. Here the lawn tennis championships
are contested every year and golf play
ers assemble daily in rain and shine and
play as If their lives depended upon It.
During the summer months the club is
always crowded with famous players and
athletes with all kinds Of records, and
every train to and from New York car
ries a quota OF brown faced and brown
armed devotees OF the courts and the
links.
Just above the club, on the old post
road from New York TO Albany, rises q
noble building, known as Ardsley Towers,

The place where he landed on the east

Dobbs Ferry is so much easier to pro-
nounce that everybody adopted it, and
it has stuck until now.
1t became Dobbses Ferry at first. and
then Dobbs Ferry. but that seemed such
a vulgar name that the aristocracy who
had to have their letters addressed there
made several efforts to have 1t changed

highly respected families in the county,

the movement so ridiculous by satire

could be induced to admit that he ever

What Butler Said About It.
Mr.. Buffers poem created great sen
SatiOn and it began this way:

.'Of all sharp cuts the keenest,
or all mean turns the meanest
Vilest Of all vile jobs.
Worse than the Cow Boy pfliagers,
Is these Dobbs Ferry villagers
A-going back on Dobbs.
They say 'Dobbs' amt meIodious;
Its .horrid.' vulgar 'odious';
In all their crops it sticks.
And then the worst addendun
OF Ferry does offend 'em
More than its vile prefix.
Well. it does seem distressing,
But IL I'm good at guessing.
Each one Of these same nobs
II there's money In IT.
Would ferry in q minute,
And change bis name to Dobbs!
That's it. they're not partieh
Respecting the auric'1af.
At stff market rate:
But Dobbs' especial vice IL
That he keeps down the prices
OF all their real estate!
A name unattracttve
Makes villa sites inactive.
And spOils the brokers' jobs;
They think that speculation

Lack Of Euphony an Advantage.

The aristocracy is now perfectly salts
fed The very nominees Of the name is
considered an advantage. like that of Rot
ten Row and similar places in England.
The people Of Sing Sing have had better
success, and after long struggle the
name of their town has recently been
changed to Ossining. which was the Origi-
nal of the Indians, from "Ossin" "a stone)
and ling" Ga place., and 1t is appropriate.
Sint Sinck. from which Sing Sing is cor
ruption. was also applied to the same To-
cality by the Mohegans. The Indians
sold all of this strip along the river to
Frederick Philipse in 1885. and the pur-
chase was confirmed by the Dutch West
India Company in 1888
Capt. White. the general manager of
that people on the boat inquire for Sing
Sing more than for any other place ex-
cept West Point. Not only has the name
been changed, however, but the prison is
to be moved across the river fifteen or
twenty miles northward. just eight miles
south Of West Point, where a large tract
of level land has been purchased and
gang of several hundred cow cts has
been working for two years grading the
ground and quarrying stone to build the
walls TO shut themselves in.
The present prison was also built by
convicts in 1896 with material found on
the grounds. Although II has been en-
larged every few years, and is now one
of the largest penitentiaries In the world.
it is not large enough to accommodate the
sinful New Workers and a new one is
considered necessary.
