FOOLED THE CITY.
One Of the HoaSes Perpetrated by
Theodore Hook.

IT, the early part Of the nineteenth
century great preparations were made
in England to receive a Spanish al.-
bassador who was expected to arrive
at SOUTHAMPTON. A mischievous idea
came into the head OF Theodore Hook
(born 1888. died 1911. novelist and
journalist and above all cOntriver Of
that diversion known as the hoax. The
English feet was lying off Southamp-
ton. Hook. then young man. knew
many of the younger officers. He
formed his scheme. and one morning
launch set out from the feet and
drew up at the quay
In this launch was he who purported
to he tie Spanish ambassador In al
most royal robes. arrived two days be-
fore the expected time. The mayor of
Southampton. who was TO receive the
Spanish envoy. was greatly clustered.
1t was all so sudden. He did the best
he could. Several companies of sol
diers. some on foot, some mounted,
were called out The bells were rung.
The ambassador. accompanied by a
number of young officers Of the feet.
was escorted with much pomp to the
mayors palace. There was a banquet
and speechmaking. one of the young
officers acting as interpreter for the
ambassador.
After it was over and the Spanish
envoy was supposed to be on his way
to London the true ambassador arriv
ed. There was but a sorry reception
for him. The other ambassador, who
was Theodore Hook. having perpetrat-
ed the greatest hoax ever known on
mayor and city, had exhausted
the hospitality of the town. The scan
dial was so great, the mayor and the
people of Southampton had been so
outrageously cold. that to make any
stir about the affair would only cause
them to be laughed at all the more.
With the exception Of the dismissal
Of some Of the naval officers who had
taken part in it little was done. and
the affair was allowed to blow over

THE HUDSON RIVER.
u Has Been Known by at Least Tween.
ty Different Names.

~ Different Names.
In the course of the past 400 years
the Hudson has been known by at
least lwenty different names. and even
today in New York at any rate-it IS
indifferently referred to both as the
Hudson and the North river
While Henry Hudson is universally
acclaimed as the discoverer Of the no
BILE river which bears bis name, II is
we'll known that nearly a century be-
fore Hudson's successful exploration
John da VerrazanO. a FIorentine, en-
| tered the mouth of the Huds0h aud re-
ported that he had passed up the river
about a league in a boat, not venturing
to sail his vessel. the Dauphine. up a.
river with which he was unfa miliar.
A sudden squall impelled him to re
turn to his ship Verrazano called the
Hudson the river Of steep hills" This
was in 1924. Some years later Vera
zanO's brother made map OF the re-
gion. and he named the mouth OF the
Hudson "San Germano."
In 1925 a Spaniard named Gomez.
who came to America on an exploring
trip, made a chart upon which he des
ignated the Hudson as "San Antonio ="
When some eighty years later Henry
Hudson in his efforts TO reach the East
| Indian possessions Of the Dutch East
India company by a northwestern
route accidentally ran into the Hudson
he promptly dubbed it the MANDATES
from the name of the Indians who
dwelt at its mouth.
Hudson sailed slowly up the river ~
far as Albany, and his experiences
with the Indians and his observations
Of the surrounding country were so
gratifying that he returned home with
glowing reports of the new found
country.
The Dutch at once realized that great
commercial advantage might be gained
in the new territory, and various cow
panies were organized to Colonize and
exploit it,
In 1916 a charter was granted 10 10

river was there referred to as de Ri

or of Prince Maurice of Orange.
In various other charters granted PC
this time and public documents i:'-
which the river was mentioned it wlA
spoken of as the "Groote Riviere," the
! "NoOrdt river" the "River of the Man
hattans" and the 'Rio de Montague"
In addition to these names, the In
dams had a number Of others for it,
among which may be mentioned "Sa-
natatea" "Shawnataw WITTY" ''Cahohata-
tea" and "COhongorontas."
AS late as 1854 the river was referred
to by a French writer as the "Riyer
Orange"
When the English took possession Oc
New Netherlands they persistently
lcal'ed the river "Hudson's river" and
despite the many other names by
which it was known that name finally
stuck" although many of the early
