FULTOX AJiJilYERSABY.
Today is the 102nd anniversary of
that memorable date, Monday, August
17, 1807,, when mocking cheers and
cries of derision from the assembled
nob rent the air as Robert Fulton
boarded his first crude steamboat and
set forth up the Hudson. The vessel
was called the Clermont by its inven
tor, but the people referred to It as
"Fulton's folloy." Today the Inventor
Is hailed as "the father of steamboat
jng" and although the actual anniver
sary of the momentous trip has passed
almnnt unnoticed, next month will
witness a great International celebra
tion in honor of his memory.
A replica of the little steamboat In .'
which Fulton made his first trip has
been completed and will be promi
nently displayed during the Hudson
Fulton relebrntton, which begins in
New York on September 25 next. This
replica is an exact reproduction of the
original and is 150 feet long 18 feet
wide, 7 feet deep and draws two feet
of water. It will be equipped with a
replica of the old engine, and will be
seen on its trip up the Hudson to Al
bany under its own steam.
