How the Troy newspaper became possessed
OF the poem, "A Visit from st. Nicholas" has
been told IN letter to the New York His
torical Society, written by T. w. C. Moore and
accompanying an autograph copy of the verses
made fer him by DR.. Clement C. Moore to
whom, it should be mentioned he was not
related. The society had desired copy of
the poem in the handwriting of the author
and NJ. Moore early in 1862 obtained it from
the poet, then in his eighty third year
These lines" wrote the donor of the manu-
script under date Of March is, 1862 were

In an interview / had yesterday with DR.

him the idea Of making St. Nicholas the hero

T was in this old house at
Chelsea, then SO far away
from the City of New York
that one had to take a stage
to get there, but nov re-
garded as almost down
town"-Ninth to Tenth ave
nue. and from Twenty-second
to Twenty-third streets
that DR.. Moore wrote his lit
tie classic. A view of the fine
old house, which had been
built before the Revolution
by his grandmother, Mrs.
Mary Clarke, shows the lawn
where there arose such q
clatter." This house was torn
down in 1850, when new
bulkheads were being estab-
hshed along the Moore prop
erty on the North River, and
then DR.. Moore erected q
new home at the southwest
corner of Twenty-third street
and Ninth avenue.

ally to Troy, soon became q
fayorite In that city, before
the rest Of the world, includ-
ing New York City, had
heard Of 1t. The newspaper

be said to have started the
poem ON its way to the hal
lowed land Of the classics. =
They had It reprinted in

riers to present an address" to their Gus
toners, WHO were expected to return the COM
pliment with a generous hes rted gil. Of money
Even in 1880 neither the Troy carriers nor
the public generally knew who wrote tie poem.
Henry Livingston, jr, had died two years before
and as he was not resident of Troy hut lived
near Poughkeepsie, about 80 miles from New
York City, or nearly halfway between the two,
no very successful effort has been made to ac-
count for tie appearance Of the poem in the
Troy Sentinel as coming from him The state
ment has been made that Mai Livingston wrote
"A Visit from st. Nicholas" about the year
1905, which would allow nearly two decades TO
elapse before it struggled into print
THOSE who have urged the claim CT author
ship for Livingston have pointed out that
the Christmas poem LIS composed OF pairs of
anapestic verses, form cultivated by him and
to be seen in volume of his manuscript poems
now in the New York Public Library At the
same time attention is called to the volume Of
Poems by Clement c. Moore published in
1874, in which his Christmas piece is the only
poem In this form.
The weakness of this evidence lies in the
fact that the form is frequently encountered in
the older poetry. One may recall our good DR..
Isaac Watts uses it in his uplifting verses about
The Siuggard":
'Tis the poce OF the sino0ard; heard him
complain,
You hare ,paked me too soon I must slumber
again.
DR.. Mocre's name was frst attached to his
poem in THE New York Book of Poetry" pub
lishcd in 1887, where it appears without any
note but as favorite piece by a New Yorker

volume very greatly. principally because in it

comparatively easy to recognize the jolly old
elf we call Santa Claus, for here for the first

Nothing was left to chance in the poem;

and impregnate with life. and artists seemed
to struggle with the problem for years before

1t was not until 1910 that the first portrait"
OF Santa Claus was printed. In a now very
scarce volume of The Poets Of America"

BY STANLEY BIGELOW

The big shots Of radio are com
ing to realize more and more that
there is something besides jazz
the American people craze. Sure,
give the listeners jazz, but temper
it with something more "funda.
mentally spiritual" they aver.
With the idea of presenting
"songs in the American tradition"
q sponsor is planning series
that should strike a responsive
chord. Beginning next Sunday
at 1918, over the Blue network,
N. B. C. will present the Singing
Master and his musical friends.
At least so per cent Of the musical
numbers on the programs will be
hymns such as Seth Parker has
made famous. In addition. there
will be hill-billy, negro, prairie
songs and sea chanties.
