W ARD HE State Commission, appointed by Governor Hughes to commemorate two important events in the history of New York State, allotted to Albany two days for the city's celebration and early in the summer Mayor Henry F. Snyder named prominent Albanians on committees to arrange an appropriate program. These committees have worked diligently since their appointment and have prepared a series of events which will both entertain and instruct. These will be found in detail on subsequent pages. The events commemorated are the exploration of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson in 1609. and the successful use of steam for propelling boats on the same river in 1807. Hudson reached Albany in the Half Moon on September 19. 1609. Fulton traveled from New York to Albany in the Clermont in 32 hours, or at an average speed of nearly five miles an hour, reaching Albany at five o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday. August 13. 1807. Fulton in a notice of his trip sent to the " American Citizen " on his return to New York thus modestly described his voyage : To the Editor of the " American Citizen " Sir : I arrived this afternoon, at four o'clock, in the steamboat from Albany. As the success of my experiment gives ine great hopes that such boais may be rendered of great importance to my country, to prevent erroneous opinions and give some satisfaction to the friends of useful improvements, you will have the goodness to publish the following statement of facts : I left New York on Monday at cne o'clock and arrived at Clermont, the seat of Chancellor Livingston, at one o'clock . time. 24 hours, distance. I 10 miles. On Wednesday I departed from the Chancellor's at nine in the morning, and arrived at Albany at five in the afternoon distance. 40 miles time. 8 hours. The sum is 150 miles in 32 hours, equal to near five miles an hour. On Thursday, at nine o'clock in the morning, I left Albany, and arrived at the Chan- cellor's at six o'clock in the evening I started from thence at seven and arrived at New York at four in the afternoon ; time, 30 hours, space run through. 150 miles, equal to five miles an hour. Throughout my whole way. both going and returning, the wind was ahead . no advantage could be derived from my sails : the whole has. therefore, been performed by the power of the steam-engine. I am. Sir, your obedient servant. ROBERT FULTON Of Hudson's early life but little is known. He was English by birth but Dutch by adoption and affiliation. The voyage which resulted in the discovery and exploration of the Hudson River, as well as two previous voyages, was made by the navigator in the hopes of finding a northwest passage to China. The first two voyages were made under the auspices of the Muscovy Company trading in Russia. The third and most memorable one was financed by the Amsterdam Chamber of the great Dutch East India Company. He lost his life in June, 1611, when he was cast adrift by a mutinous crew in the far northern James bay, having sailed from Gravesend for Greenland in May, 1607. Fulton was born in Little Britain township (now Fulton) near Lancaster, Pa., November 14, 1765. He early showed skill in draw- ing and mechanics but he resolved to be an artist, and at the age of 17 commenced the study of that profession in Philadelphia, painting many portraits and landscapes of note. He followed his profession in London for ten years, and while in that city took up the study of mechanical science. As early as 1793 he conceived the idea of pro- pelling vessels by steam. In 1797 he went to Paris, which was his principal place of residence until he returned to America in 1806. While in the French capital he formed the acquaintance of Robert R. Livingston, who, as chancellor of the New York Court of Chan- cery, administered the oath of office to President Washington. Liv- ingston was a student of mechanics and science, and after many con- sultations Fulton and Livingston at joint expense in 1803 built a boat which was successfully launched on the Seine but which did not meet expectations as to speed. Fulton returned to this country and built the Clermont in the spring of 1807. She was 150 feet long, 13 feet wide, and 7 feet deep and measured 1 60 tons. The engine was 24 inches diameter of cylinder, with 3-foot stroke. The boiler was of the low-pressure pattern, 20 feet long, 7 feet deep and 8 feet broad. Her side wheels were 1 5 feet in diameter, with buckets 4 feet wide, dipping two feet into the water. Fulton lived only eight years after the successful trip of the Clermont, but during that time built many boats for the Hudson and ferryboats for the East River. He was harassed by litigation on his patents and at the end was insolvent, in the last year of his life he built, by the direction of the government, a steam war-vessel — the first of its kind. It was named Fulton the First, and was launched on the East Kiver October 29, 1814. Fulton died February 23, 1815, at the age of 49 years. The Half Moon Replica of the vessel in which Henry Hudson made his voyage oF exploration river which now bears his name 3 Henry Hudson HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE COVERS THE Program Committee, of which John A. Howe, Jr., is chairman and Peter Schumacher secretary, wishes to explain to the public the origin and historical significance of the covers. The committee is justified in making the statement that of all the programs printed the Albany Souvenir, in so far as its covers are concerned, is the most accurate. On the outside cover in the left upper corner appears the portrait of Henry Hudson, in the right that of Robert Fulton; between these is the title. At the left appears the Half Moon, with Indians in canoes and on the bank of river ; at the right appears the Clermont, with the Pali- sades in view; in the center appears the head of an Iroquois Indian with a wampum belt over his shoulder, and represents the famous Hia- watha belt. The face denotes the Indian in times of peace and all insignia denoting the warrior is omitted. The face is a fine type of the Seneca Indian and is made from a living Seneca who is one of his race selected by the State to furnish historical models for permanent records. The head was drawn under the personal supervision of Mr. Arthur C. Parker (who is himself a Seneca Indian, also archeologist, and therefore authority on such matters), and pronounced to be a perfect type. The picture of the Half Moon is drawn from a study of the replica by Mr. Hill at Brooklyn Navy Yard, since its arrival from Holland. The Clermont was made from a drawing by Mr. Samuel Ward Stanton, author of the book entitled, 'American Steam Vessels," which received a medal and diploma at the World's Columbian Exhibition, Chicago, in 1893. In speaking of the draw- ing of the Clermont, Mr. Stanton says : " Of the early steamers that of the Clermont has been drawn from the accepted illustration of this boat, similar to the drawing which is credited to Robert Fulton himself. All available dimensions of her were carefully consulted, and the illustration I have given was first drawn to a scale from the known dimensions of the boat. She was 133 ft. long, breadth of beam 1 8 ft., depth of hold 7 ft., and in the fall and winter of the same year (1807) she was lengthened and re- fitted, etc." In speaking of the drawings in the book, he says : " In no case have I made use of a picture or drawing that did not bear the stamp of authenticity. The data obtained was from Custom-house records, Steamboat Inspectors' reports, newspapers and other docu- ments, and the facts and figures given are believed to be absolutely correct." On the back cover appears the coat-of-arms of the City of Albany, with a border around it in which are drawn the symbols or coats-of- arms of the six tribes of Iroquois Indians. Mr. Parker describes them brifley as follows: The Iroquois Confederacy when first known to white men em- braced five nations; thus the confederacy or league is often called the Five Nations. The oldest nation is said to have been the Mohawks whose territories stretched from the St. Lawrence to the Mohawk River and from Albany on the Hudson to Herkimer. The Mohawks were called the "Possessors of the Flint" or "People of the Flint Land." It was a band of the Mohawks which Champlain met in 1609 at the present site of Ticonderoga. Thus the national arms of the Mohawk bore the symbols of the Adirondack mountains and the emblem of their power — the flint. All the New England nations cringed in terror at the cry of "The Mohawk" whose keen, flint-tipped arrows flew straight and killed when they struck. The Oneidas lived west of the Mohawk nation and bordered on the Onondaga. The Oneida emblem was a great stone which symbo- lized their permanency, and their council fires were always held about enormous bowlders. One of the Oneida stones may be seen in the cemetery at Utica. The Onondaga nation called itself "The People of the Hills" and were known officially as "The Keepers of the Fire." in allusion to the fact that the capitol of the League was at Onondaga. The council fire of the Five Nations, now six nations, still burns unextinguished not seven miles from Syracuse. The Onondagas were the wampum keepers, but in 1908 passed that office to the Director of the State Museum. Albany. The Cayuga nation were called "The People of the Mucky Land " and " Bearers of the Great Pipe. " Westward, bordering on the Genesee River, " the river of the beautiful valley." dwelt the Seneca nation, known as "The People cf the Hill" and "Keepers of the Western Door." The great hill cf the Senecas is now known as Bare Hill, or Nundawao. and lies only a few miles south of Canandaigua. The Tuscaroras were admitted between 1713 and 1724, coming from the Carolinas. They were never regularly admitted as a sixth nation, because they did not come through the Seneca or Mohawk "door " They were called " The Shirt Wearers " and " The People Who Came Through the Side of the House." The five nations called their League " The Long House," because like a family they were to dwell together in peace and unity. They did more than any other force in colonial times to preserve this region for an English-speaking people and were loyal to their treaties with the British until 1812. There are 5000 Iroquois still in New York State, living as a civilized people and making wonderful progress. Mr. Hill has the distinction of being the first white man to draw these symbols. The drawings for the cover were all done by hand and are the original work of Mr. Hill. Prober! Fulton THE SCHOOL CHILDREN'S PART IN preparing its program the Albany Committee has not lost sight of the educational feature, and the school children will play no small part. Their exercises will occur on the steps of the Capitol and those not participating in the event will view it from the Capitol Park which is to be roped off and to which enclosure none but children attending Albany schools will be admitted. This event is to take place on Thursday, October 7, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. A living United States flag is to be pictured on the steps of the Capitol. This is to be composed of 2,000 girls from the public and private schools who are to be appropriately costumed in the national colors. They will sing patriotic songs in chorus with band accompani- ment. The girls participating will be from the elementary schools only, and all are to be over ten years of age. A procession of boys will be formed also to rendezvous at the head of State Street in front of the Capitol, to march up State Street, to Dove Street, to Washington Avenue, to Capitol Park, arriving at the time the flag is forming on the steps of the Capitol. The entire terrace will be used for this enormous spectacle, which will be in charge of Prof. James R. Beauman. Six thousand yards of red, white and blue bunting will be used in dressing the children, and will be furnished by the committee. Each of the six long stripes, the entire width of the flag, will be 77 children in extent, and each row will be two abreast. The seven shorter stripes, broken by the starry field of blue, will be 55 children in extent, two abreast. The blue field will be 22 children in extent, and distributed at equal intervals will be children with silver stars for all the States of the Union. The music will be in charge of Prof. Edward Futterer. Of even more importance from the educational standpoint is the program which the Committee has arranged for each of the schools. Tuesday, October 5, is the day which the commissioners of education have set apart for the general observance of the celebration in the public schools. The programs in the various schools will consist of short essays, quotations, recitations and addresses on subjects pertaining to the celebration, together with exhibitions of drawings, models, etc., of the boats and other important features of the event— the work of the scholars of the different schools. Mayor Henry F Snyder nil c< )i ki < >i IK )V )k THE decorations in Albany during the celebration will be the finest ever seen in this city. State Street will be set apart as a Court of Honor. A colonnade will be formed from Capitol Park to the Postoffice, and one hundred and forty-four winged columns — seventy-two on each side of the street will be erected. These will be covered with white material, surmounted by bronze -profiled capitals, the columns rising to a height of twenty feet from the ground. Across the top of these capitals will be wooden strips, fifteen feet long, supporting two American flags, 8x12 feet, these alternating with draperies of the Hudson- Fulton Celebration colors. From lines stretched across the streets from house to house, strings of fancy and international code signal- flags will form sky borders. These strings will be hung in the manner of ship's dressing. The electric decorations in connection with this Court of Honor will be exceedingly beautiful. Across the street, from Broadway to Eagle, will be drooping festoons of lights. These will be suspended from a cross-arm attached to every trolley pole, and so arranged as to show the bunting decorations in the evening. At the intersection of Pearl and State Streets the lines will be diagonal and filled with colored lamps. An emblem, showing from every point, will be suspended from the center of these diagonal festoons. Two parallel lines of eight candle-power white lights, with intervals at the street corners, will run the entire length of the street, these festoons being suspended between the winged columns. Thirty flaming arc lights fifteen on each side of the street will be placed so as to illuminate the Court of Honor in the most brilliant manner. The other street decorations, as outlined by the city, will be the festooning of flags across Broadway from State Street to the Union Depot, across North Pearl Street from Clinton Avenue to State Street, and across South Pearl Street to Westerlo Street ; these festoons also extending down Westerlo Street to Kiverside Park. Festoons of electric lights will also be suspended across the streets in addition to these bunting decorations. Riverside Park will be elaborately decorated. On the Broadway side will be an immense triple arch, built of white material and elaborately decorated with bunting and electric lights. Surrounding the park will be quantities of spruce and hemlock trees, twenty-two feet high when planted, these forming a wooded border for the park. From the flag-stafF in the center of the park, eight lines of streamers of electric lights in the national colors will be suspended, these caught up by an apron of frosted lamps which will surround the center grass plat. Decorated extensions to the iron railing sur' rounding the park will hold 1000 additional electric lights TI II SCOTC H FLOAT THE Scotch have not forgotten the fact that while Fulton put steam to the use of propelling boats, it remained for James Watt to put the same motor power to an even more practicable use, and their float represents this progress. On the right of the float will be seen a bust of Robert Fulton. On the left of the float will be a bust of Henry Bell, the co- laborer with Fulton on steam navigation, who ran a boat through the Crinan Canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow with success — the first steam vessel on European waters. Henry Bell was born at Torphichen, Linlithgowshire, Scotland, on the 7th day of April, 1 767. Another bust will represent George Stephenson, who triumph- antly engineered a railway between Liverpool and Manchester. He was born on the 9th day of June, 1781, at Wylam, near Newcastle, and from circumstances of great poverty arose to one of the most characteristic Scotchmen. Another bust will represent Lord Kelvin, late president of the Glasgow University, one of the brightest and most active spirits in the development of everything that tended to enlighten and uplift the human race. The float will also be illustrated by a number of Scotchmen attired in their native and ancient dress, together with pipers rendering the strains of music so inspiring and attractive. There will also be a pretty little clique of boys and girls who will, at the various stations, display their ability in Scottish reels and other dances.

HUDSON landed at the site of Albany September 19. 1 609, and anchored four days. A FORT was built by Dutch fur traders on the island just below Albany in 1615. and called FORT NASSAU. FOPsT ORANGE was built in 1624. THE FIKST NAME of New York State was New Netherland ; of New York City. New Amsterdam; and of Albany. Fort Orange. AUKANIA is a Latin name for Orange and the English called Fort Orange. " Fort Aurania." IN 1652, the name of Albany was Beverwyck. IN 1664. the English took the place from the Dutch and changed the name to Albany, or rather. Fort A'bany. IN 1674. it reverted back to the English and was then called Albany, as it has been ever since. IN 1686. Albany was granted a charter as a city, the first place in the United States to receive such a charter. THE FIRST MAYOR of Albany was Pieter Schuyler (1686). ALBANY has had 62 Mayors (extending over 221 years); of these 35 have been of Dutch descent, 23 English, 2 Irish, 1 Scotch and I German. ALBANY was made the Capital of the State in 1797. THE FIRST STEAMBOAT ran from New York to Albany in 1807. THE FIRST RAILROAD TRAIN in America ran from Albany to Schenectady in 1831. CARE OF THE PUBLIC THE Committee on Public Safety and Health, of wnich Edward B. Cantine is chairman, is to look after the safety of the people, both residents of Albany and those who come here to view the ceremonies. The police will number over one hundred and sixty men, all on full time, and the mounted squad will be reinforced by the addition of twelve extra horses and equipment, making a total mounted squad of twenty- one men. Two patrol wagons will be in constant service and a large, seven- passenger automobile has been engaged for the two days, to be stationed at Police Headquarters ready to respond with reserves should they be needed. The men in the Fire Department will be on full time ready to respond and take care of property should occasion arise. A sub- committee has been appointed with Gerald Griffin, M. D., chairman, and a large corps of physicians and nurses have volunteered their services to assist in emergency, accident or illness. A tent will be erected in the South End of the city near the steamboat landing, equipped with a temporary telephone and with an ambulance in attendance. Temporary cases will be taken care of at this point as well as at the City Building where cots have been erected until such cases as need hospital treatment can be taken thereto. The Committee will also procure a steam tug. manned with physicians and nurses, to patrol the river front and in case of emergency be prepared to render any aid required. This tug will carry the Red Cross flag. THE FRATERNAL PARADE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1909, 8 P. M. ROUTE OF MARCH — Formation on Hudson Avenue, right resting on Eagle Street.
