Steamers Jordan and Gen. Washing
ton Race From Knapton. '
The tootintr of whistles on the
waterfront yesterday afternoon at
tracted much attention and quite
large number of people hurried to the
foot of Twelfth street to learn th
cause. It was a race between the
rival steamer Jordan and Gen. Wash
ington, rival boat on the Deep River
run, which was won by the Jordan.
The Gen. Washington left Knaptoi
just before the Jordan, and when both
vessels had straightened out for the
run across the Bay, Captain Hull, of
the Jordan, concluded to pass the
Gen. Washington and in doing so
started a race that was a pretty one
for the seven miles across. Captain
Lamley wouldn't take a dare, and at
it they went When they reached the
wharf on this side the Jordan was
about 400 feet ahead and took the
landing, followed immediately after'
ward by the Gen. Washington, Cap
tain Lambley in the pilot house smil
ing. When asked how long it took
to make the trip both captains said,
separately, that they did not have
time to look at their watches. The
Jordan is a fast boat, said Captain
Lamley, "but " He said no more,
but if looks speak volumes a whole
library ' was in evidence. Captain
Billy Hull, said nothing, but grinned,

Some Excitement
The residents of Duane street, from
Seventh to Eleventh streets, were
rudely awakened about 11:30 last
night by the violent blowing of police
whistles and the frantic yells of a
couple of Chinamen who were chas
ing a white man along that thorough
fare. The trio hurried up Duane
street to Eleventh, And on Eleventh
to Bond and along Bond to Tenth
street, where the white man disap
peared, and is probably 'running yet.
j There was much rapid talking and
gesticulating by the excited China
men, "and it was some time before
Officer Houghton, who was in at the
finish, could understand what the
trouble was. It appears that one of
the Chinamen was carrying a tray, on
his head, walking along Bond street,
when the white man knocked the tray
to the sidewalk and started to run,
followed by the celestials. The trio
ran up Seventh street to Duane and
it was then that the commotion com
menced. It was exciting while it
lasted, but amounted to little.

XEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The open
ing of the first tunnel under the East
River last week, the latest advance
in New York's transportation prob
lem which marks the- inauguration
of subaqueous travel, come curious
ly enough at the end of two and one
half cnturies which have marked the
growth of local transit from its earl
iest beginnings. Just 250 years Man
hattan attained its first paved streets,
known then as Dehoogh street but!
(low as Stone."" That was id 1657 arid
the successive stages of advance
which have culminated in the open
ing of the East River Tunnel from
coming of the first payed street in
1657 no advance of note was made !
until 1697 the year which marked the j
f'rst lighting of streets at night by
means of lanterns. In 1755 the first
ferryboat-a sail boat- began operat
ions between New York, and Staten
Island. More than ' half a centuary
later, .that is in 1812, came the first
steam ferry, boat between this city
and New Jersey. Twenty years later
in 1S32 came the first horse car line
not only in New York but in the
world which ran through a part of
the bowery. In 1836 the first steam
railroad, running from Brooklyn to
Jamaica, in Long Island. The year
1851 saw the opening of the first el
evated line, a single track affair for
which the motive power was furnish
ed by cable. It operated between the
Battery and Thirtieth Street then an
outlaying suberb. In 1883 came the
opening of the Brooklyn Bridge and
three years later the first cable car
line. The, first electric trolly line
began operations in Brooklyn in 1892,
opening of the first tunnel under the
East River in 1908 or 250 years after
the city saw '. its first paved streets.
To advance from pavements to un
der river tunnels has taken Father
Knickerbocker nearly the whole
period of American history.
The fact, long since , forgotten,
that New York was once known as
the Town of Mannandos, is an inter
esting discovery recently brought to
light through a copy of an extreme
ly ancient and valuable map now iar
the possesion of the Old Guard of the
Cty of New York, itself the oldest
mlitary organization composed en
tirely of veterans in the city, and one
rich in historic memories and honors,
while the metropolis today is va
riously referred to as New York,
Manhattan and Gotham, and was
formerly known as New Amsterdam,
it is safe to assert that not one per
son in ten thousand ever knew of.
its still more ancient, appellation
which this new old name has brought
to light is entitled A Descriptioa
of the Towne "of Mannados of New
Amsterdam as it was in the year 166,
and was discovered during the com
pilation of material relating to the
city's early history for a local his
torical society. It was named by it
discoveror the 'duke's plan. The or-
ginat is in the British Museum, but
the copy in the possession of the Old
Guard has been certified as to its cor
rectness in every detail, and forms aa
interesting relic of New York as it
was nearly 250 years ago with its for
gotten name of Mannados. Many
historical relics of great value, be
longing to the Old Guard were de
stroyed when its armory was burned
in 1893. Others which were saved
however still form a valuable and in
teresting collection in keeping witk
the name of the most famous and
honored military organization of the
city whose annual ball held every,
January, together with the yearly
parade on the anniversary of the date
on which the English evacuated New
York, form the two greatest event
of the year in local military circles.
