New York, Sept 24-the man who discovered the Hudson River and the man whose invention made it of great est service will be honored during the coming week here at the scene of their achievements. Three centuries haitian Island and up the river to the head of navigation. Two hundred years later Robert Fulton made the same trip in the first successful steam boat. The Hudson Fulton celebration, which opens here tomorrow, willvis- ualize their achievements.
 For the next eight days the people of New York and visitors from all parts of the world will witness a series of pageants surpasing anything hith- erto attempted in the way of historic commemoration. The crowning attain ments of the twentieth century will be exhibited to set off those of the past The leviathans of the worlds niaves have gathered to honor the two little ships that made history one and three centuries ago. Above the waters where eighty warships lie at anchor the con- querors of the air will exhibit their mastery. Airship flights, naval pa rades and historical pageants will all contribute to the anniversary. Every important nation is represented. After a week in New York waters, the float ing part of the exhibition will move up the river, where the cities whose set clement and growth followed Hudson's discovery and Fulton's invention will spend the next week in performing their part of the celebation.
 At 10 o'clock tomorrow the Hall Moon and the Clermont-accurate re- productions of the little Dutch challop in which an English master and a mixed crew first ascended the Hudson River from Manhattan Island to AL bany, and of the ungainly monster, belching smoke and hissing vapor, in which Robt Fulton. an American inven- tor, made the same distance for the first time propelled by steam, will move from their quiet anchOrages in the lee of Staten Island to salute the vast bulk of the assembled American and foreign ships of war in the lower har- bor.
 The Clermont will move under her own steam. Her clumsy engines will rattle and groan in her open hull; her unprotected paddle-wheels will spatter foam on her decks, and she will push slowly through the water at speed of a little better than four miles an hour, very much like the floating Srist mill that a Hudson River farmer first thought her. 100 years ago. She is built of steel: she carried no whistle, noth- ing but a bell: steam was too young then and shrieking sirens will salute her: her engines snort their waste en- ergv into the open air, while in the submarine depths of the great hulls around her whirring turbines do the same work with an efficiency and pow CT undreamed of by Fulton. The bell the original Clermont carried on her first trip hangs now in the pilot house of a great sidewheeler that daily makes in less than twelve hours the same distance that Robert Fulton. for whom she has been fittingly named, took from Monday morning until Wednes- day night to cover.
 This is a very good land to. fall with and a pleasant land to see, wrote Robert Juet in his diary of the voyage of the Half Moon. 1906. The magnifi- cent oaks, the poplars, lindens and blue plum trees that Hudson and Robert Juet. his clerk, saw then. have been replaced with soaring skyscrap- CTS on the shores of that pheasant land." but Hudson and his crew on the Half Moon, and Fulton and his men on the Clermont, will walk their decks | in the same dress that they wore, the
 one three hundred years ago and the other one hundred years ago. over | (Continued on Page Threel
