been formulate,! with a view to the
IIKNin m DM N.
International, national. Interstate.
State and local significance of the
events to he commemorated.
The pecpb' of Holland, under royal
auspices, have built a reproduction of
the Half Moon, to be presented to
the Commission manned with a crew
in the costumes of the period of
Henry Hudson. The reception of
this distinguished delegation, togeth
er, as it is hoped, with ships and offi
cial representatives of foreign na
tions, will mark the international
phase of the celebration.
The National Government will be
represented by the Pederal troops,
the rnip'd States navy and distin
guished civil officers.
An interstate participation cannot
be avoided when two commonwealths,
like New York and New Jersey, have
so much in common in their geogra
phical, historical, social and commer
cial relations, and the appointment
by Governor Hughes of fifteen distin
guished citizens of New Jersey upon
the Commission, as well as the activi
ties of New Jersey boards of trade,
indicate that such participation is in
contemplation.
The State-wide observance of the
events has been provided for in the
preparations for commemorative ex
ercises in all the universities, colleges,
schools ami learned societies through
out the State.
In the Hudson River Valley every
county seat from New-burgh north
ward is preparing actively for one
day of local celobrath n.
In New York City and the Hudson
Valley south of Newburgh the feat
ures of the celebration promise to
make it unique In character and of
lasting educational value.

ing features:
General decorations of public and

I he ( omnussion is of the opinion
that in avransine for the celebration
the people should not overlook the
divine guidance in the two great
events to be commemorated, one of
which opened up our Slate to modern
civilization and led to t!,.e founding of
the city of New York, and the other
of which laid the foundation for the
vast commerce upon which the pros
piuity of the citv and Htatc so largely
depends. It has therefore set apart
the day for r-digious observances.

THE HUDSON RIVER.
The great river which Hudson ex
plored has had many names. It was
called Cahohatea and Skanehtade
Gahunda by the Iroquois, Mahicanituc
or Mahlcan river by the Mohican In
dians, and Shatemuc by other Indians;-
Una Grandlssima Riviera by
Verazzano ( 1524), whence RIO
Grande, Riviere Grande and Grand
River; Rio de .San Antonio or River
of Saint Anthony by Gomez (1525);
Rio de Gamas by the Spaniards
(1525-1600); River of the Moun
tains by Hudson (1609), or Mon
taigne Rlvier on Dutch maps (1615
1664); River Manhattes by De Laet
(1625), or Manhattans Rivler on
Dutch maps ( 1615-1664); River
Mauritius or Maurits Rivier from
Maurice, Prince of Orange, during
the Dutch period; and the Noort
Rivier (Dutch period) or North
River (English) to distinguish it
from the South or Delaware River.
Hudson's name has displaced all
these except the North River, which
is applied In a limited way to that
portion of the river opposite the city
of New York.
The Hudson River is very remark
able in several respects. In the first
place, for 150 miles of its length it is
not a true river but a fiord. From
Albany to the ocean its rock bottom,
with the exception of a few Islands, la
below sea-level. How far below, is
not accurately known. Opposite
Storm King Mountain, where the en
gineers of the new aqueduct for sup
plying New York City with water
from the Catskills hoped to build a
tunnel under the river1, they have
bored a thousand feet down Into the
dirt and Band that fill the gorge under
the water and have not been able to
find rock bottom. The shore line at
Albany t at practically the same ele
vation as the shore line at New York,
and the tide rises at Albany two-and
eight-tenths feet:. This upward and
downward flowing of the tide, of
which Hudson took advantage in his
voyage, had, of coarse, long been
noticed by the Indians, who spoke of
the river with wonder as the stream
that flowed both ways.
The river la also remarkable ' for
Its great ; natural beauty. ' The dis
tinguished German surgeon, Dr. Adolf
Lorens, while visiting on Its shores In
1902, pronounced It more beautiful
than the Rhine. '. ' ,--,,-.'
:: , Largest Natural Bridge.
Spanning 274 feet and more than
300 feet high,- a natural bridge, said
to be the largest known, has been dis
covered by members of the Utah
Archaeological Socity, which has re
turned, to Salt Lake City from an ex
pedition along the Colorado River, in
Northern Arizona and Southern Utah.
The bridge is located four miles north
of -the Arizona line, in the State of
Utah, six miles east of the Colorado
