The NJ. S. P. keeps on winning, beat
ing the Wright, Barrett & Stilwell team
last Saturday 9 to 1.
No ball team is yet booked for July
4th. The management is after an extra
strong team for this day.
It. w. Alexander donned his new
artificial limb last week and has promised
the boys to do few fancy steps for them
in a short time.
The hot weather continues, and al
though rain is badly needed we are pray
ing it will not precipitate on the End or
4th of next month.
The South Saltwater baseball team
will try to stop the NJ. S. P. winning
streak Saturday afternoon. This is not
the team that was seen here earlier in the
season but a much stronger aggregation
of ball tossers.
The management is sending out every
man possible now to do exporting on the
Minnesota machines during harvest. Six
extra men are now on the different ter
ritories who are employed in the factory
during the time they are not being used
as experts
"Wednesday and Thursday, the 22nd
and 23rd, was "wash day." Cellhall A
had 1868 blankets washed on the 22nd,
and Cellhall B had 1920 blankets
washed on the 23rd. These blankets, after
washing were spread on the grass to dry
and covered great space in the yard.
One dear old lady visitor, noticing the
display, exclaimed: ooh, they have COW
cred the grass to keep the sun from burn
ing it,"

HISTORIC NEW YORK REGION

Were you to spin along the post road
from New York to Albany-the same old
post road that was built in the time of the
French and Indian wars upon the line of
the old Indian trail-you would pass
through the most historic part of this
region, about a mile from the village of
Fishkill.
On account of its situation, in fertile
plain protected by surrounding hills, Fish
kill was chosen for large barracks for
Revolutionary soldiers, officers headquar-
tiers and supply depot; and, while the
British occupied New York, the govern
ment headquarters for printing and pro-
visioning were also there. The sword that
Washington himself carried was made in
the village, which, at that time, contained
about fifty houses.
1t was in the Van Wyck house, wrongly
called the Wharton house in Cooper's
story, "Ths Spy" that Harvey Birch, who
was in real life young shoemaker named
Enoch Crosby, had his trial. In the mea
dow below the house lie buried scores of
Revolutionary soldiers Across the road
from the burial field were the barracks.
