The old North District school house at the Hook, about seventy-five years old, was sold in 1895 to the congregation of the M. E. church and has been raised slightly, remodeled and used for church services. It is sixty feet long. The first school house was built on the site 150 years ago. The original building was erected upon town land and the property was deeded by the town to the school trustees in 1875. About the same time the old-fashioned desks arranged around the four sides of the room, at which the pupils sat in rows facing the wall, were changed for those of a newer pattern, at which the pupils were seated by twos. The belfry and school house bell were added fifteen years ago. Before that the children were summoned by a hand bell. Over half of the inhabitants of East Hampton received their education at the old Hook school. Thirty-five years ago, before the ses- sion house was built, the regular prayer meet- ings of the Presbyterian church were held in the old school house, as well as in the old town house, where Dr. DeWitt C. Talmage preached his first sermon.

In 1893 the railroad system was extended through the township to Fort Pond Bay, and with that event may be said to commence its rise as a summer resort, or township of sum- iner resorts, for that seems to be its inevitable destiny, all hope of making an international port at Fort Pond having been seemingly abandoned at least until the new schemes in- troduced by the Long Island Railroad looking to close connection with the entire railroad system of the country approach fruition. The published reports of these schemes seem to indicate a trans-Atlantic port at Fort Pond or in its vicinity, but on that particular detail not much has been made public.

Yet in the way of commercial greatness East Hampton still has hopes, hopes inherited

apparently from the old whaleboat days. It has many splendid harbors, which only need the application of a slight expense to make them serviceable for even large fleets. As an instance of this, as an evidence of the hope still entertained, the following record of a speech in Congress by the Hon. Townsend Scudder, the late representative of Suffolk and Nassau in the National legislature, will be interesting. It is taken from "The Congres-

Montauk Point lighthouse and five miles east of Sag Harbor. East Hampton is the nearest village to the harbor, and is distant about two miles from its head. There is situated the nearest railroad station.

The harbor proper is about two miles long and one mile wide; of a general triangular shape, with the base toward Gardiner's Bay, from which the harbor is separated by a sand beach, with an entrance channel at the east of the same. According to chart, the harbor has a maximum depth of thirteen feet, with a

sional Record." In the debate on the River and Harbor bill, January 16, 1901, Mr. Scud- der moved an amendment to the effect that a channel should be constructed through the en- trance into Three-mile Harbor not less than ten feet in depth at mean low water and 200 feet in width. In supporting this amendment, Mr. Scudder said:

Three-mile Harbor is a land-locked bay on the north shore of the south fork of Long Island, situated some eighteen miles west of

depth of six feet or more over an area of three- quarters of a square mile. At the present time. the entrance channel is narrow and quite crooked. The depth of the channel inside the beach is about six feet, except where reduced by a couple of sand spits.

This harbor once accommodated quite a coasting trade, but for many years its en- trance has been gradually filling with sand. The washing away in recent years of the north point of Gardiner's Island has allowed the ocean swell, as well as that from the east en- trance of Long Island Sound across Gardiner's.

Bay, to wash up sand and choke up the mouth of the harbor, diminishing its usefulness.

The purpose of my amendment is to au- thorize a survey with a view to constructing a channel through the inlet from Gardiner's Bay into the harbor, not less than ten feet in depth at mean low water and 200 feet in width.

It is estimated that the present freightage interests of the locality immediately surround- ing this harbor aggregate 10,000 tons a year. There are large tracts of hard-wood lands and considerable timber which would be convenient for shipping from this harbor if the same were accessible. Its shores are capable of develop- ment.

By the improvement suggested by this amendment a large area of country now of comparatively little value would be opened up. The population which would derive benefits from the improvements is not less than 2,000 souls. The residents of the towns of East Hampton and Amagansett are unanimous, so far as I have been able to learn, in favor of this improvement. The shores of this harbor are generally highlands, bespeaking a health- ful locality.

I have no desire to conceal any facts in connection with this proposed project. Were I so inclined, which I am not, the chairman of the River and Harbor Committee would supply them. I frankly state them. A survey of this harbor was made in 1899. The local engineers reported at that time adversely to the improvement of the harbor. The project, however, which I have in view differs from the project which was then turned down. Moreover, a careful reading of the engineer's report will satisfy any person familiar with the conditions existing in this section of the country that the work of the local engineers was hardly as thorough as we believe the im- portance of the question should have war- ranted ; therefore do I renew the request that a survey again be made to the end that if error was committed the first time justice to the people of this section of my constituency may be done, and the first error righted.

Mr. Chairman, this work will not be ex- pensive. The local engineers are employed continuously. They have to inspect all im- provements now in course of construction or maintenance on Long Island. A day or two of careful work and investigation of Three- mile Harbor, when they are engaged near

there, will entail little cost and will convince them, I feel confident that a mistake was made by the engineers who first looked the ground over. Of course, under our rules and the law, an appropriation can not be secured from Congress for such an imporvement as I desire to have made liere excepting the re- port of the local engineers be indorsed favor- able by the Chief of Engineers and approved by the Secretary of War. Therefore it be- comes necessary for me to try this case de novo and to endeavor to secure a favorable report at the bottom of the scale, namely, from the local board of engineers.

In closing my remarks I will make mention of certain advantages which will follow the improvement of this harbor.

First. The United States Government has constructed fortifications on Gull Island and on Plum Island in Long Island Sound. Three- mile Harbor would be a safe and convenient harbor for torpedo boats operating with these fortifications in the event of war.

Second. It would be a safe harbor of refuge to vessels engaged in the coasting trade, and in fishing, which pass through Long Isl- and Sound and Gardiner's Bay.

Third. It would enable vessels to enter the bay for the purpose of taking aboard their cargoes of wood and merchandise which, at the present time, are obliged to load by means of scows, lighters, and small boats while lying off at some distance from the mainland.

Fourth. It would open up for development a large section of country, would foster com- merce, and consequently give needed employ- ment to a large population, besides affording an excellent harbor for steamboats and other vessels.

East Hampton to the present day retains many of its ancient characteristics. The old windmills with their wide extended arms look as if they belonged to another clime and carry the spectator's mind at once back to the "days of old," and the memorial tomb of Lion Gardiner, with its knightly figure in full armor, fits into its quaint surroundings-a mediaeval monument in a village, which until a few years ago hardly understood what mod- ern progress meant. The relics of the past seem to be more carefully conserved than than in most American towns; the ancient in-

formal name has been revived in the Maid- stone Club, whose splendid building was de- stroyed by fire in 1901 and is being rebuilt, at a cost of $50,000 ; the old building of Clin- ton Academy still greets the visitor and he can render homage to genins at one of its verita- ble shrines-the home in which John Howard Payne, the author of "Home, Sweet Home,"

main attraction of East Hampton at presetit. The ancient and royal game of golf claims first honors, and nowhere in America are to be found better grounds for the practice of that magnificent sport than from Wainscott to Fort Pond.

spent his earliest years, and the memories of which may have unconsciously framed the thoughts and inspired the words of what has become one of the "world's songs." The grand old trees which line the main street were plant- ed, some of them, a century ago, and succeeded others which marked out the line of the road- way in the early settlement.

tled about 1670, and is the home of a farming and fishing population. It is little known ex- cept to golfers and anglers, and its pond, fa- mous for its pickerel, is one of the most beauti- ful bits of inland water on the island. In 1880 it had a population of 100; at present it claims 170, so that its modern progress is not very rapid. Neither is Amagansett progressing very rapidly, for in 1880 its figures were 548,

1072

and the latest computation only added two to that total, while Gardiner's Island, which in 1880 had a population of 40, has now only 25. Northwest, which had once high com- mercial hopes and in 1880 a population of 78, now has only 60, although if it could only be again discovered it would show wonderful advantages for the development of a summer resort. But the township in many places shows substantial increases. The Springs, which in 1880 had 339, now rejoice in 529, while East Hampton village in 1880 had 807, in 1890, 1,014 and now has 1,600. Then there are several new communities which have been started within the past few years, which promise to become places of importance within a decade, while Montauk Point, thanks mainly to the importance it acquired in the Spanish- American War, now claims a residental pop- ulation of 200. Had the census been taken when Camp Wickoff occupied the Point it would have swelled the figure for the district and the township considerably. But the splen- did advantages of the section for healthfulness and fun became the theme in the camp days of national interest and discussion, and it would not be surprising ere many years pass to see the Montauk region inhabited by a pop- ulation far surpassing in extent the numbers which made Camp Wickoff so busy for sev- eral memorable months.

Meanwhile the old Royal demesne is prac- tically deserted and the following exceedingly beautiful description penned early in the past century still accurately describes it :

The place is almost one extended region of solitude. Over its elevated surface, the eye seldom rests upon other than natural objects.

The large forest, which once covered its face, has fallen before the axe of the husbandman, and the winds of heaven; and the vision has no interruption, over the greater part of the land, to an illimitable expanse of ocean. The extensive swamps, where the warrior waited in ambush the passing of his foe, have most of them become dry, and free of wood. The grounds, where often the battle raged, in the strife for life and victory, are noted only by the many arrow-heads, which the tread of ani- mals and the crumbling of the soil expose to. view. The lofty and symmetrical stature of the red man no longer crowns the cliffs and headlands of the shore; but over the summits, the sea-bird and the eagle may still be seen hovering in the air, or soaring aloft, in beauti- ful gyrations. All the magnificent features of nature still present, to the visitor, the same sublime and majestic appearance which they presented to former successive generations ; but the red man sleeps in his grave. The band of sparkling foam, produced by the waves of the ocean, rolling and dashing on the shore in endless succession, still embraces the land ; but he, who whilom watched the pulsations of the mighty deep, is no longer there. On the bold headland of Wamponomon, where, in the clear dark night, the signal fire was kindled, to give notice to the friendly tribes, on the opposite shore, of the approach of some mu- tual foe, or of readiness to proceed upon some enterprise of danger or revenge, the Sentinel no longer holds his midnight vigil. The calm moon, whose bright and soft light was re- flected from the undulating surface of the gently rising wave, where the canoe was launched upon its bosom for distant adventure, still sheds its monthly brightness upon the troubled sea, but it no longer guides the bark of the red man. The agitations and tumults that gave activity and excitement to savage life, and filled the forest with the echoes of the war-hoop, are buried in the grave of the war- rior; and the almost painful stillness of the- region is disturbed only by the everlasting: murmur of the ocean.

LONG ISLAND TROOPS IN THE REV- OLUTION.

(From Fernow's "New York in the Revolution," Albany, 1887.)

The people of Long Island responded to the call of the Provincial Congress, asking them to organize in military bodies as early as the inhabitants of the other counties, and below are given the earlier organizations. The fortunes of war severing the connection be- tween the island and the main land, these organizations could not be kept up, hence the list of Long Island officers is necessarily small. The Council of Appointments made no ap- pointments for Long Island until 1784.
