Marketing by Boat From,
Harlem to Peck's Slip

Most of the housewives who claimed Nor
risania as their home did their Saturday shop
ping down in New York City. The vicinity
about Fulton Market and Peck's Slip was the
popular trading place. In order to get down
to Fulton Market the housewife who lived in
Morrisania had to 20 through quite an ordeal.
First she rode on the "Huckeberry Line"
Then, at Harlem Bridge, she boarded either a
Harlem Line or Morrsania Line boat, of
which the Iron Steamboats, may be said to be
a far duplicate. The Harlem Line operated
the Sylvan Glen, Sylvan Stream, Sylvan Dell
and Sylvan Shore, whereas the Morrisania
Lines boats were The Shadyside, Harlem, Nor
rlsanla, Black Bend and Rosedae. These lines
not only carried passengers, but they also did
large freight business Competition with
the elevated lines forced them to discontinue

On Sundays The Harlem and Morrisania
lines would run excursions from New York
City up to kars Amusement Park, located on
the east bank Of the river at Highbridge. The
park contained dancing pavilion, a restau-
rant, a mcrry-gO-round and such things Be-
low karls was Kyle's boathouse. Here
cedar bottom boat with spoon oars could be
rented for 50 cents a day. Many young fel-
lows would take their best girls out rowing on
a Sunday afternoon, and unless the young
man could Feather his oars" he lost prestige
with his girl Eventually many Of these city
boys became exceptionally good oarsmen and
continued to meet at Kyle's the year round.
Down the river at 138th Street was another
boathouse, the Buena Vista, that rented the

men with their girls often rowed I'D to Kvle's

THE SCHOOL OF AUCTION RRTDGF

THERE has lately been some discus
sion as to the advsability of limiting
T. the conventional or negative double
to cases in which the partner has not
yet made bid. No less an authority than
Charles Stuart Street thinks there are many
cases IN which double of one, even after
partner has made bid, could be useful in
directing a no-trumper In a letter to the
writer he says:
Il should like to take issue with White
heads rules for doubling A double is some
times of great Importance, even after YOU
have heard from your partner Suppose he

waste in helping minor suit, and you double,

double is obvious.

Delving Into the History
of Featherbed Lane

But IS there a Bronxite who has not heard
of Featherbed Lane? Has he, or she, not
wondered how that name originated or where
it came from? For couple of decades there
has been a controversy going or between The
younger residents of the Bronx regarding the
origin of this lanes name. The lane, which IS
just one block north of Washington Bridge,
runs from University Avenue twisting in
snakelike fashion, down to Jerome Ayenus3
Stories have been circulated that feather beds
were furnished retreating Revolutionary sci
ders, so that they might drag their cannon
quietly up the hill. The true story
that there was lane, which acted as
boundary line between the De Y oe farm ana
the Townsend Poole property. There also was
spring near the crest of this hill, whose Gear
water down the hill and which. with leaves
and other forest debris, made this lane Soi'
like feather bed. Oldtimers Will tel you

Since 1908 the Bronx has been changing

This sounds like good logic, bat in talking it
over with number of players they made two

thought such opportunities very rare. In the
second place, they feared it would lead to an
Indulgence in doubles that were not quite IN

TNHE amazing growth of New York City
has almost eliminated the old Bronx
Il Apartment houses are to-day being
erected on the few remaining orchard
and pasture lands. What were once pleasant
lanes, canopiod by stately trees are to-day
lined with apartment buildings The story Of
the passing of the old Bronx is best told in
figures In 1874 the Bronx had about $4,000
inhabitants to-day the borough has approx
mately 100000 residents, and the countless
new apartments that are now in process of
completion will shelter many thousands more
Old-timers know the history of the Bronx
best and they will tell you that Hammers
Hotel for more than half a century occupied
the granite Court House site at 16lst Street
and Third Avenue They will also tell you
that Hammers was typical country tavern,
noted for its culinary secrets, where splendid
meals were served at popular prices. On Sun
days, especially if the weather was fine, Ham
mers would be crowded with city folks who
had driven from New York City to eat there
and to enjoy the fresh country air. Just six
blocks north Main Street, Morrisana,
while still further north, little to the east Of
the Boston Post Road, was the sleepy old town
of West Farms whose inhabitants were partc-
ularly noted for their ethargy.
Indeed elderly residents of Morrisania still
cherish the fact that Old Morrisania the way
they speak of the Revolutionary village-was
seriously considered by Congress as q site ap-
propriatc for the capital of the United States
1t so happened in 1890 that Lewis Morris, one
OF the signers of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, presented petition to Congress urging
that body to select Norrisana the seat for
the new American government. One of the
advantages pointed out in the petition was
that there are more fighting men within
sweep of thirty miles around Morrisania than
perhaps within the same distance around any
other place in America Another that
persons emaciated by sickness and disease
there shortly recover and speedily rein
stated in health and vigor.' Congress, how
ever, deemed that Morrsania on the Harlem
was little too far North Washington on
the Potomac was chosen as the capital of
our country.
Prior to 1874 the terrain. now commonly
spoken Of as the Bronx was part of Westches-
ter County In 1869. while the bill was being
drafted at Albany to annex West Farms, Nor
risania and Westchester to New York, Sena-
tor jumped to his feet and proposed that the
City of New York be annexed to Morrisania.
Nevertheless the bill became law in 1874, and
henceforth the territory between the Harlem
River and 10th Street was described on city
maps as the 23d Ward, while the district
north Of 10th Street. including West Farms
and Westchester. was known as the oath
Ward. But the old-timers never refer to the
wards-it is always Morrisania, West Farms,
or Westchester

Old Residents Remember
the Huckleberry Road

The transportation facilities of 1874 have
become somewhat obsolete, although horse
cars have only recently disappeared from the
streets of New York City. All of the older
residents of the Bronx viii recall the famous

Editor Star: Thus you entitle an

NELL is the better man for the Job.
Thus it was that Frank Clark
handled the same question about

in short, that he was, and in long that
he was the better man for the job.
The people were then more inter
ested in the long part than in the

long part and his people long for him
yet.
So let us have more of the long and
less of the short. Hence, less of the

We regret, Mr.. Hooker, that in
order to help defend your very weak
position, you bring up that by no
means creditable part of Mr.. Clark's
record. Mr.. Clark is a friend of ours
and first-rate congressman. By
nearly score of years of faithful
and intelligent service, he has almost
lived down his fault, but now, in order

past and drag out that which his real
