The Commission is of the opinion
that in arranging for the celebration
the people should not overlook the
divine guidance in the two great
events to be commemorated, one of
winch opened up our State to modern
civilization and led to the founding of
the city of New York, and the other
OF which laid the foundation for the
vast commerce upon which the pros
perity of the city and State so largely
depends. 1t has therefore set apart
the day for religious observances.

to fetes in public and private parks

The celebration will eliminate In
New York City in the evening with a

the most famous carnivals of Europe.
Brilliancy will be added to the gen

THE HUDSON RIVER.

The great river which Hudson ex-
plored mas had many names. 1t was
called Cahohatca and Skanehtade
Gahunda by the lroquois. Mahicanituc
or Mahican river by the Mohican In
dians. and Shatemuc by other In
dians; Una Grandissima Riviera by
NeraZzano llJ2i), whence Rio
Grandc, Rivicre Grande and Grand
River; Rio de San Antonio or River
OF Saint Anthony by Gomez G525);
Rio de Gamas by the Spaniards
tl525-l6OOD; River of the Noun
ta!ns by Hudson CGO9, or Mon
taignc Rivier on Dutch maps G6l5-
lGG4); River Manhattcs by De Laet
GG25), or Manhattans Rivier on
Dutch maps G6l5-l6G4; River
Mauritius or Maurits River from
Maurice, Prince of Orange, during
Rivicr Clutch period or North
River (English) TO distinguish it
from the South or Delaware River.
Hudson's name has displaced all
these except the North River, which
is applied in a limited way to that
portion OF the river opposite the city
of New York
The Hudson River is very remark
able in several respects. In the first
place, for $50 miles of its length it is
not true river but ford. From
Albany to the ocean its rock bottom,
with the exception of a few islands, is
below sea-level. How far below, is
not accurately known. Opposite
Storm King Mountain, where the en-
gineers of the new aqucduct for sup
plying New York City with water
from the Catskills hoped to build
tunnel under the river, they have
bored n thousand feet down into the
dirt and sand that fill the gorge under
the water and have not been able to
find rock bottom. The shore line at
Albany is at practically the same ele-
vation as the shore line at New York,
and the tide rises at Albany two and
eiSht-tenthS feet. This upward and
downward flowing of the tide, Of
which Hudson took advantage in his
voyage, had, of course, long been
noticed by the Indians, who spoke Of
the river with wonder as the stream
that flowed both ways.
The river is also remarkable for
its great natural beauty. Tie dis
tinguished German surgeon, DR.. Adolf
Lorenz, while visiting on its shores in
1902. pronounced it more beautiful
than the Rhine.
