AS regards productiveness, the farm
lands adjacent to or within short dis
tance of the city of Newburgh hold high
rank Nearby there are splendid mar
kets.
Newburgh had according to the last
census a population Of about 10000. NOW
# has nearly 5000 people. Close to 1t are
many vigorous towns and settlements.
II is estimated that the number OF per-
sons in and near the city is over 60.coO.
Neither values within the city of New
burgh nor outside, in the charming farm
or suburban region. have been discounted.
By this is meant that the values OF the
nlaces offered for sale represent the true
worth of the properties, and not what
they ought to be worth some years hence.
In the majority Of the cases the asking
prices are much below the hgures at
which the premises are appraised by ex-
perts.
Newburgh possesses all the physical
qualities highly priced by builders of the
model suburb. Most of its residential
streets are broad and well shaded
One of its principal business highways
Is Broadway, and a finer and more IN

find. Broadway extends from the river
front directly In westerly direction. IL
was once known as the Newburgh and
Cochecton Turnpike. Many of the older
residents still refer to II as the turn
pike.
This public highway is destined to De
one Of the greatest business arteries OF
the city, and the man who buys at pres
cnt prices property fronting on II mas

Within the last year large part OF
Broadway has been improved by the lay
ing Of a new roadway and by the erection
Of ornamental lights.
In the rush hours" Of the day thou
sands Of persons pass up and down
Broadway.
For years the principal retail shopping
section of the city has been Water street
and there the heart of the retail business
sphere is likely to continue for many
wears. This is one of the best managed
shopping areas in this state north OF New
York CITY. The stores fronting on the
street are widely noted for the meritori-
GUS goods which they sell at low prices
Crossing Water street are several pub
lie thoroughfares, which form part OF
the retail trade and office section OF the

division of the retail shopping centre. and

GIVE INSTRUCTION

Music is one OF the features of instruc-

THE aim OF the instructors is to teach
children to sing songs with intelligence
and with a sense OF the artistic says
Marjorie B. Brundage. supervisor OF
music in Newburgh's public schools. She
also says in her last report on this sub
ject:
This brings about division Of musi-
cal instruction. namely: Rote singing
and sight reading. Under the former We
include music OF greater degree Of diff

technical side Of the subject. This di-
vision, OF course, is not strict for an oc-
casional song brightens the music period
and acts as an incentive while the pupils
technical knowledge often serves him in

II firmly believe the harmonic series Of
music readers to be one OF the best for
public school use. However, no one course
offers all the material necessary for broad
instruction. For this reason there Is a
need OF supplementary reading material.
This is, perhaps. one OF our greatest
needs. Also. | feel the lack OF an in

burgh are so situated as not to interfere
with the residential growth Of the city
along the most improved lines. Most OF
the manufacturing concerns are along the
waters edge on the West Shore and Erie
railroads, and many more are in the
south and westerly sections Of the town
somewhat distant from the river frontage,
yet possessing good sdings for shipping
purposes.
In the centre OF the city in the Sd Ward
is Downing Park, which is frequently
visited by artists and many other per-
sons who are lovers Of nature. 1t is con-
sidered TO be one Of the most picturesque
parks in the state. Many an oil painting
or water color which adorns the walls OF
the choice houses of the city depicts the
view Of the Hudson River and Mount
Beacon as seen from the grassy knolls
of the park.
In regard to the building activity in
Newburgh. a foremost builder there said
TO Tribune reporter last week: MANY
splendid modern houses are being built
in the choice residential sections OF ine
city and its suburbs. The houses will

similar price erected in any part of this
state.
THE houses range in price from 5000
to 5000 A large number Of structures of
less cost are being erected by spectators
at about $500 a house. A feature of the
building activity here is that quite a
few fathouses Of the best type are being
erected. The new fiathouses going up are
largely superior To similar structures
erected some years ago. Such houses are
better designed and their interior COM
forts have been multiplied. at the same
time keeping the rental figures within the
reach OF many persons.
THE new flathouses are equipped with
excellent sanitary arrangements and are
steam heated.
"A number of these up-to-date fat
houses are being put up on Washington
Heights. Washington Heights is a bluff
Of land south of the city hall. 1t is about
five blocks from Broadway and Liberty
street, and forms one of the most en-
trancing residential parts of the First
Ward.
"A splendid residential development Is
Lincoln Terrace. in the central part Of
the city. This district adjons the prop
erty on which is the new Broadway
Grammar School and is adjacent also to

Newburgh-on-th Hudson?
AS other writer's have said. Newburgh
offers every facility conducive TO the es-
tablishment Of a business or home,
whether IL be large or small.
Its main business streets are lined with
substantial and progressive business
houses. its residential streets are built
up with comfortable homes and its sub
urbs are dotted with large and fine coun-
try places OF persons. many Of whom
have business in New York City and
travel to and from Newburgh on the
trains or boats, the service OF which is
unsurpassed.
The entire length OF Water street and
Broadway. Newburghs two principal
business streets, have recently been paved
with modern pavement and illuminated
with ornamental lights. The change has
made a decided difference for the better
in real estate along these thoroughfares.
Values which have not already risen are
bound to do so in the future. There are
buildings on Water street which could
have been bought for small sum a few
years ago, but which to-day would bring
much higher figures II they were obtain
able, but the fact is that there is little
property which is at all modern to be had
for any price on the street. The same is
true of Golden street, which is the con-
Meeting link between Water street and
Broadway. On Golden street there are
buildings which several years back could
be got for nominal sum. To-day they
could not be had for anywhere near the
price previously paid.
What is true Of these streets is true Of
Broadway. the wide business street run
ming west from the Hudson River some
two miles or more. Along IL during the
last few years many changes have been
made. Buildings have been torn down,
new ones built. less old ones remodelled-
In fact. the entire street presents a vast
ly changed appearance from that Of five
years back. Here. too. values have seen
marked change and rents have scared
as result, thus making the ownership
OF Broadway property an asset worth
having.

plenty to offer to those thinking of or
looking for such

FRENCH LIKE BASEBALL

The French youth. ever on the look
out for new game. is now developing
q great taste for baseball. Football
having quickly become the recognized
winter game, those who are introduc-
ing baseball say that it appears likely
that it will soon be the great summer
sport in France.
At present things are only in a
small way as regards the number OF
games being played, but the amount
of enthusiasm is remarkable. A base
ball diamond has been staked out on
the Bagatelle sports grounds just out
side Paris, and games will shortly be
in full swing. The players are many

parture and has found many recruits

CLEVELAND FANS GET pElvED.

President Ban Johnson, of the
American league, hasn't exactly won
a warm spot for himself in the hearts
OF Cleveland fans. A short while ago
Johnson reprimanded Joe Birming-

umpire was ragged by fans and play
ers for a bad decision, and he even
went so far as to say that Birming-
ham was no fit person to manage an
American league team. All of which
ELECTED EXPLANATIONS of disgust from
Cleveland fans, because birmingham
has given Cleveland the best team
they have had in years. They have
shown more grit and gumption than
they ever did before, and Nap fans
are decidedly in favor of the game
they are playing, and also more than
pleased with Birmingham. The
chances are that if Ban Johnson

would find that he wasn't an awful
