was raised, are among the things
which have passed into history. They
have wellnigh been forgotten. The
Washington monument got as far as
the laying of the cornerstone. 1t was
a big event, calling forth what was
said to have been the largest and
most enthusiastic parade held in the
city up to that time.
George w. Morris, the most popular
poet of the time, wrote a poem in
honor of the occasion; the governor
of the state, the mayor of the city,
and a host of lesser lights and Off
cials were in attendance. Backed by
an organization known as the Wash
ington Monument association. incor-
porated by the Legislature, and includ-
ing among its trustees many of the
wealthiest merchants of the city, the
patriotic citizens looked forward
eagerly to the completion of n monu-
ment costing at least 81 100000, which
promised to rise to such a height on
the high land of Hamilton Square as
to make it visible to mariners so miles
at sea.
The history OF this Washington
monument movement, which reached
its climax on October 10, 1S47, and
then suddenly lapsed into oblivion,
dates from 1888 when, headed by Gov
Morgan Lewis, a large number of in
fuential citizens determined that New
York should erect to the memory of
George Washington the grandest
monument in the country. They were
Incorporated by the legislature as the
Washington Monument association
No serious effort appears to have
been made to raise money. In 1S43
the project was renewed, but this
also met with no better success
Spurred on by the efforts OF Isaac S.
Lyon, one OF the noteworthy charac-
ters of the time, whose occupation
was that OF humble cartman, the
third association under the same
name was Incorporated in March, 1S47,
aud this was the only one that showed
any genuine activity Lyons efforts
for the cause consisted chiefly in
pamphlet which he wrote and widely
circulated, entitled The Washington
Monument, Shall 1t Be Built" an ad-
dress which he dedicated to the citi.
zens of New York in 1876

A Washington Note.

One Of the minor historical myster.
les is whether George Washington
ever held a commission In the British
army. In 1743 one George Washing.
ton was gazetted to colonelcy In the
Queens Royal Regiment of Dragons.
The George Washington in question
was never on the active list. and It is
quite within the bounds OF possibility
that the man who made the great
American republic may actually have
held British conmisBion.-Dun
