he Evening World’s ‘Kiddie Klub Korner Ooprriaht, 1090, ty The Pree Publiching On. (The New York Brening World.) ——=Conducted by Eleanor Schorer' About Old New York. THE LIBERTY POLE. BW YORK ‘s not @ boastful city, I wish it were, for then the gem eral impression that the first Revolutionary blood was shed at the Battle of Lexington would not prevail, Boston historians, rightly, proud of their city’s early share in the great.confiict, are probably responsible for Lexington being known as the first battle-ground of the fight for freedom. It is quite true that the first of the comtinued battles was fought there, but long before this, in January of 1770, he people of New York showed their open defiance of England by firing on British troops. The Liberty Pole had been erected on the Commons, now City Hall: Park, amid much hilarious rejoicing, and inscribed “To His Most Gracious Majesty, George the Third, Mr. Pitt and Liberty.” Three times the redcoats of the 24th Regiment had cut down this Precious symbol, but when they laid hold of it the fourth time the alarm bells tolled, the shops closed and the citizens attacked the soldiers. The hottest of these skirmishes took place on Gold Hill, in the neighborhood of John and William Streets, and several lives were lost. This was prob- ably the first blood shed in the American Revolution. | In this same year the people of New York erected an equestrian statue | of King George in Bowling Green and also one of William Pitt, at ‘Wall | and William Street. But neither of these is in existence to-day, for the Republicans demolished that of the King and the Royalists mutilated the statue of the Great Commoner. ° | MY GARDEN. I had a little garden green, | The prettiest garden ever seen; | In it grew sweet violets blue, So innocent and true. Y DHAR KIDDIES: When we like something very much, we are usually eager to talk about it and tell why we like it. Don't you find that this tg true?
