girls need not worry about their

RELICS Of 1888
FOUND IN SUBWAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Excavators
for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
subway tunnel to Brooklyn under
Whitehall street at the intersection
/ Of Front street came Upon Il large
number OF piles which had been inn
bedded in the mud at that point since
Revolutionary days.
The site OF the historic ind was at
one time that of the old whitehall
ferry, whence Gen. George Washing
ton embarked one December day in
1888, Immediately after he had bid
den farewell 10 his officers at
Fraunces' Tavern. at Broad and
Pearl street, four blocks away.
In those days the combined waters
Of the Hudson and East rivers Tapped
the shores of Manhattan at what is
now Whitehall street, the ground
now occupied by Battery park and
the skyscrapers along State street be-
ng territory reclaimed from the Hud-
son. The piling unearthed for the
first time In nearly one hundred and
hirty-fve years was in surprisingly
good condition.
The Martha Washington Colonial
'hapter OF the Daughters of the Rev
1lution placed a tablet on the build
ing at the southeast corner of. White
hall and Front streets in 1904 mark
ing the site OF the old Whitehall
ferry. On II is Inscribed a history
4 the site and the story of Washing
toms departure.
While the diggers were hosting up
the old piles they also found some

ter commissioner of the city. There
were about one hundred and nifty
feet of the old mains, in pieces 1ve
