The Cele- bration, with respect to the ceremonies and the magnitude of the population in whose presence they will be enacted, will be the most brilliant of its kind that has ever been held in America. HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION COMMIS- SION. — The Celebration has been ])lanned by and is in charge of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission, consisting of seven hundred and fifty prominent citizens ap- pointed by the Governor of the State of New York and the Mayor of the City of New York, and incorporated by iha]> ter 325 of the laws of 1906 of the State of New York. Its membership includes the Mayors of all the forty-seven cities of the State and the Presidents of thirty-eight incor- porated villages along the Hudson River. Its alTairs are conducted by a Board of Trustees, consisting of the Mayors of the forty-seven cities and two hundred other members, and more than forty committees embracing the entire membership of the Commission. CITIZENS' COMMITTEES.— Cooperating with the official Commission in the City of New York are five large Citizens' Committees, one for each Borough, and in the cities and villages along the Hudson north of New York are similar Citizens' Committees. These Citizens' Com- mittees enlist the cooperation of about five thousand prominent citizens of the State. EVENTS COMMEMORATED.— The purpose of tlie Hudson-Fulton Celebration is to commemorate the three-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Hud- son River by Henry Hudson in the Dutch ship Half Moon in 1609, and the one-hundredth anniversary of the first successful application of steam to the navigation of the river by Robert Fulton with the Clermont in 1807. The postponement of the celebration of the centenary of steam navigation from 1907 to 1909, in order that it might be combined with the celebration of the tercentenary of Hudson's vovage, was deemed advisable for the reason that the two historic events occurred on the same river, and their anniversaries come so close together as to make separate commemorations upon any large scale ine.\pedient. SIGNIFICANCE.— The discovery of the Hudson River and the successful application of steam to navigation were events of State, National and International impor- tance. The former brought to the knowledge of Europe and opened up to ci\ihzation the great river to which, more than any other single natural factor, is due the greatness of New York as the Empire State and New York City as the Metropolis of the New World. The other has given to all the navigable waters of the earth a value which they did not previously possess, has reduced the width of the ocean, in point of time, to one-si.xth its former distance, and has pro- moted the neighborliness of nations to a degree that cannot be estimated. SCOPE.— The plans for the Celcbiation of the notable historical events to be commemorated have been formu- lated with a view to their International, National, State and local significance. INTERNATIONAL. — Every nation which is ac- credited to the United States Government has been in- vited to send a special delegate to the Celebration in addition to its diplomatic representative at Washington, and every maritime power has been invited, in addition, to send naval vessels. The result will be the greatest convention of the navies of the world ever seen in Ameri- can waters. (Sec also Halj Moon.) NATIONAL. — The presence of Federal troops, of vessels from the United States Navy and of distinguished Civil Officers will mark the Nation's part in the Cele- bration. INTERSTATE.— New Jersey and New York have much in common in their geographical, historical, social and commercial relations. Fifteen prominent citizens of New Jersey were appointed members of the Commission by Governor Hughes on nomination of Governor Stokes, and the citizens of the New Jersey cities and towns along the Hudson River have formulated plans for taking part in and enhancing tlie effect of the New York Celebration by a])propriate illuminations and displaj's. STATE. — Commemorative exercises will be held in all the universities, colleges, schools, and by learned societies throughout the State, to make due observance of the events and thus to emphasize the State phase of the Celebration. HUDSON VALLEY. — At every principal commu- nity in the Hudson Riyer Valley, from New York to the head of navigation, there will be local celebrations of great beauty and interest, beginning on Friday, October i, at Newburgh, and continuing successively at different places until Saturday, October 9. The celebration at Cohoes on October lo-ii is also officially recognized. NEW YORK CITY.— In New York City the Cele- bration will be continuous from Saturday, September 25, to Saturday, October 2, and some events have been crowded over into the following week. The features ar- ranged for and described in the detailed program are designed not only to be of unique attractiveness but also to have a lasting educational value. APPROPRIATIONS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS.— For the purposes of the Celebration the State of New York has appropriated $475,000 and the City of New York $250,000. In addition to these public funds, about $500,000 additional has been subscribed in New York City and the cities and villages north- ward. FREE TO THE PUBLIC— The Celebration will, above all, be a People's Celebration, and has been so planned that all may enjoy and take part in it without pay- ment of fee or charge for admission to any feature pro- duced with public funds. PRINCIPAL FEATURES AERONAUTICS.— An aeronautical display will be held in which many inventors of airships will take part. One feature will be a contest for a prize of $10,000 offered by the New York World for the aeronaut who, in a me- chanically propelled airship, sails over the course from New York to Afcany traversed by Fulton's first steam- boat in 1807. AQUATIC SPORTS.— A(|uatic sports on the Hudson River will be features on several days — opposite New York, Yonkers, and at Newburgh — and will include friendly competition between the crews of American and foreign naval vessels, motor-boat races and other appro- priate water games and amusements. ART AND HISTORICAL EXHIBITS. E.xhibi tions will be held during the entire time of the Celebration by all the prominent museums, and by many historical, scientific, literary and similar societies. Admission to all will be free. BANQUET. — On Wednesday, September 29, a great banquet will be given in honor of the distinguished visit- ing guests of the Commission at the Hotel Astor.

In the background at her right, under the date 1609, stands a figure repre- senting Hudson, and in a cor- responding position at her left, under the date 1807, stands a figure representing Fulton. At the top are the words: "Hudson-Fulton Celebration," and at the bottom the dates, "September 25 to October 9, 1909." POSTAGE STAMP.— The Commemorative Postage Stamp issued by the United States Post Office Department is oblong in shape, seven-eighths of an inch high and one and three-quarters long. Only one other postage stamp issued by the Government has°equalled it in size— namely, the Columbian stamp. In the border at the top are the words " Hudson-Fuhon Celebration," with the dates "1609" and "1909." Below this inscription, in a curved line, appear the words "U. S. Postage." At the bottom, on each side, prominently appears the Arabic number "2," with the words "Two Cents " in a panel between the figures. In the center of the design is a view of the Hudson River, showing the Palisades in the background. Upon the river, at the left side, is represented Hudson's ship, the Halj Moon, and in a corre- sponding position at the right side is depicted Fulton's steam- boat, the Clermont. In the foreground is an Indian in a canoe, and in the distance, just discernible, is a canoe with four other Indians. The canoes represent the earliest form of navigation on the river. The stamp is to be printed in the same color as the ordinary two-cent stamp. The design is considered the most artistic that the philatelic artists of the Government have ever produced. Fifty millions of these stamps have been printed.

M. Borougn or Brooklyn: Friday, Octoter 1 — 1 P.M. AMONG the forms of instructive commemoration arranged by the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission the Historical Parade will be one of the most notable. It will depict, upon moving vehicles called "floats," important events in the history of New York State. Beautiful, graphic and instructive in themselves, they will also stimulate study of the connecting events in the great historical chain of which the events depicted form a part. The floats will be in four divisions, representing, respectively, the Indian, Dutch, Colonial or British, and American Periods. In depicting important scenes in these four periods, the Commission has aimed not only to present a spectacle which will be memorable, but also to give an impetus to historical research and to present historic scenes so that they will impress themselves more clearly on the minds of the spectators than could be done by books and pictures. The work of building the floats has been going on in New York City for many months, and has required the services of all kinds of artists and artisans. The artist most familiar with this kind of work was summoned to design the pageant, and for about a year nearly two hundred workmen at a time have been engaged on the actual construction. The general plan and every detail of the floats and costumes have undergone the critical scrutiny of the Commission's Historical Committee, which has commanded the services of the best historical and archeological authorities in the City of New York. The Historical Parade will be composed as toUo^vs, witn oands or music interspersed : Mounted and Unmounted Police Grand Marshal Maj.-Gen. Charles F. Roe and Staff Hon. George B.
