HARLEMs RoUsING FEAST.
Down further south. below the Harlem River
where the citizens OF Harlem seemed TO nave en-
tertained some slight feeling that the Identity OF
their particular part OF New York had not been
prominently enough considered IN the arrangements
for the Hudson-Fulton celebration. they also hsh
dinner in the Harlem Casino. The fete' though
arranged as contribution OF the Harlem men to
the celebration, turned out 20 be as much rous-
ing greeting 10 DR.. Cook. tho Arctic explorer. who
shared with Governors Hughes and Fort 'h" hon

The explorer read his brief remarks from manu-
|, script He began by simply stating. We arrived
az the pole on the 21st OF April. 1875" Harlem's
citizens had read that statement before. but they
shouted their belief joyously when they heard
DR.. Cook say Il himself Tho doctor said he had
found nothing very wonderful there. only endless
fields. apparently OF moving ice no pole
no life no land. We glad 20 get there.
he continued ''to make the observations. 10 dis
cover the pole but the most wonderful thing Is 10
stand here and receive your appreciation.
The explorer then paid tribute 70 Hudson as a
pioneer In discovery Of the North. and 70 Fulton
who. through his application OF steam to naviga-
ton, had rnade possible the penetration or tho
Arctic. He finished with a laudation Of the Is
quimau. without whose experience and aid tho
| quest Of the pole would have been fruitless.
Every reference to Cook and his achievements
greeted with enthusiasm far exceeding that
given TO the old explorers Governor Hughes got
into the spirit OF tho occasion and the good graceS
OF the company by saying he had Just come from
| the Furthest North. Tho Governor thought tho
| money expended the Hudson Fulton celebration
wisely laid out It served to stimulate the
sense OF patriotism. No price too great TO
| put before youth great ideals and cause them
| 20 view with appreciation and admiration the
| achievements OF men like Hudson and Fulton.
Governor Fort wondered whether Hudson. when
he went back to Amsterdam. had taken with him
proofs that he had discovered the Hudson. at
which Harlem howled and Dr. Cook laughed. Tho
Governor of New Jersey agreed with the Governor
| OF New York that the celebration was we'll worth
| while. Especially he emphasized its significance
| in bringing homo to Americans the knowledge that
