jefferson and his friends did what
they decentIy could 10 ignore
Thanksgiving altogether. iamil-
ton and his partiSans did all they
could 10 make the day bowling
success. = When the state Of af-
fairs became known ia Boston and
Philadelphia the battle was heart
lis entered into. and Washington
had the modification of seeing
that his day Of Thanksgiving for
the blessings Of Almighty God had
become the source Of no end Of
contention.
The day dawned warm and fair
for New York. The bells Of Trim
ity rang for an hour and there
was a parade Of one regiment, re-
viewed by Hamilton from
Faunce's tavern, the Waldorf-As-
toria Of New York city in that
day. Then the cheering part Of
the day began. by indulgence in
various forms Of stimulants, and
everyone was no doubt very
thankful. Washington went 10
church in the morning, and AZ
high noon began 10 receive his Wis
ifors az the executive residence.
Hamilton had also arranged
dinner at Faunee's tavern, which
Is distinguished as being the first
official Thanksgiving banquet IN
our history. Hamilton was 10 re-
spond to a toast and then 90 off
to the Presidents s mansion, but he |
was late and the guests sat down
to the tables without him. In the /
course Of this dinner a disagree.
ment arose among the gentlemen.
A certain Lieutenant 81. Clair
took occasion TO assert, upon his
honor that he was entirely sober.

The next thing that happened
was o dispute about the turkey.

FIRST NATIONAL
THANKSGIVING
A Story Of a Bottle, q Bird, a Bro
ken Nose. and an Angry Pres
ldent Who "Cussed.

Thanksgiving is an institution
of heavy antiquity, but as a pecu
liarly American national fcsiiva
il dates only from Thursday. No
vember 26. 1859. The first ma
tional Thanksgiving day was per
haps the most exciting ever cele
brafed on this continent and owes
It's historic interest 10 a bottle, a
bird. e broken nose and an angry
President who rounded out tbs
expression Of his wrath with a few
well chosen and forcible "cnss
words. Yet all these things
were collateral 10 the main fact
that We came near losing Thanks
giving after all. and that all the
famous men Of the day got into q
VERY bitter quarrel over il and ate
8 turkey dinner with daggers
drawn, SO 10 speak.
The idea Of Thanksgiving day
originated with Alexander HAM
iIfon. Washington s secretary Of
the Treasury. who. in August,
1850. hroached the subject at a
cabinet meeting. In September.
17e9. Elias Bondinot. a New Eng
land member of the house Of rep.
resentatives. introduced a rcsolu-
ton requesting the President 10
aet aside a day Of thanksgiving
and moved isa adoption The mo-
ton was seconded by Roger Sher.
man 81 Connecticut. The rcsolil.
tion al once met with opposition.
Many members of congress de-
nouneed the custom of such obser-
vamees a. cffete and monarchical
and some members became 70 per-
sonnl in their discussions that
blows were struck over the mat
ter In the streets of New York,
which then was the national capi-
tai. she sessions Of congress be-
ing held IN Federal hall.
jefferson opposed the passage
Of tho resolution as an ener0aeh-
ment upon the boundary line
which had been fixed between re-
liaion and the state. but the reso-
luton passed both houses Of Con.
rreaa. and on October 3, 1889,
Washington issued the first
Thanksgiving proclamation. II
recommended that Thursday, she
2Gth day Of November next, be de-
voted by the people Of these Unit
cd States TO the service of that
great and glorious Being who Is
the benificent Author OF ell the
good that was, that is, or that
viii be.
The proclamation issued, the
burning question arose as to how
the day should be celebrated, and
over Il arose an acrimonious con-
test. Hamilton proposed q mon.
etef procession Of dignitaries and
military headed BY Washington
himself. Jefferson's opposition
prevented this spectacular exhibi.
lion and II finally was determined
that the day was a domestic holi-
slav and should be observed in the
