He knows all of the fish in the Aquarium by
sight and some Of them by name. He makes
frequent trips to the Metropolitan Museum
and often walks up the Bowery. The Bronx
Zoo, the Museum of Natural History, the APP
pellate Courts Building are familiar ground
to him. He's been around the island on a
sightseeing yacht, has visited the Brooklyn
Navy Yard and occasionally takes in Coney
Island.
Why does he go to all these places, you ask?
Well. he's President of the Borough of Man

Borough of Manhattan doesn't care enough

Immediately organized into a history class

just five days after the signing of the Dec
laration of Independence-W Washington caused
the bulk of his volunteer army to be drawn
up on the site of the present City Hall whers
the soldiers listened to the reading Of it.

An investigator who sets out to prove that
New York is tcyvo ncogrta to New Workers
will have no trouble. The New Yorker who
knows Fraunccs's Tavern other than by name
is hard to find. He may know that George
Washington liked to sup there, but it's an
odds-on wager he's forgotten that that illus
trious American delivered his farewell TO his
generals in the famous Long Room Of the inn
that now stands at the corner Of Broad and
Pearl Streets just as it did then.
II may be argued that no onc-even a New

that the man who doesn't know Wall Street is

BY the same token it may also be demon
strated that. if he is unaware of the fact that
the New Amsterdam whipping post and pill
lorv stood at Broad and Wall Streets in 1868,
me may also justly be accused Of never hav-
ing been TO Grants tomb.

The Ninth infantry regiment, first OF

are "on their toes" and simply wait
ing for the depots to be cleared of the
other troops.
During the morning all the troops
which were TO move had recruited up

which arose when some OF the militia
men balked at the oath by which they
we're mustered into federal service was
overcome 10 a great extent. The Of

merely misunderstood IT and we're
