NEW YORK STREETS. < - HOW SOME OF THE OLD ONES GAINED THEIR NAMES. i s Trinity Church Bind More to Do With Bentowintt Them Than All Other AuthorltieN Combined—The Rea«on j Broadway Killed Hudson Street. The churchwardens of old Trinity i church had more to do with naming the streets in the lower part of old New York than all other authorities combined. To be sure, the quaint burgomasters, before the first Trinity church was built, after hearing the pros aud cons of landowners, found names for many streets significant of certain established facts, for streets and byways below Maiden lane on the easterly side of the Heere straat, afterward changed to Great George street, in honor of King George, by the authorities of Trinity. Then our patriots ignored the name and called it Bloomingdale road and then the Broad way, simplified Into Broadway. The present Trinity church, at the head of Wall street, is the third edifice of that name, the two preceding structures erected upon the same ground having been burned, but the first was one of the first churches erected in this city, and Trinity has always been the wealthiest corporation, patronized by the richest aud most influential families for ages. The churchwardens of this church bad their own way about naming the streets from the church to what is r.ow Twenty-third street, west of Broadway, along the Hudson river front, because they owned that immense property. In the olden time Queen Anne of England owned what was known as the Queen’s farm, which covered the land commencing at St. Paul’s church and extending to what is now Twentythird street, bounded by Broadway on the east and the Hudson river on the west. Y’estry street was so styled by Trinity because the church had a vestry in that street between Hudson and Greenwich streets. Church street was so called because it bounded the west side of St. Paul’s churchyard. Rector street was honored by the residence of the rector of Trinity. Barclay and Ve-

sey streets were named after two cler- | gymen of the church. Trinity's officers determined that the main artery of the city should run through its land, and, grounded in their belief in their ability to carry out their intention, Hudson street was laid out. St. John's park and many other improvements were offered ns induce- , ments to purchasers of land, and St. John's chapel was erected and finished in 1803, one of the handsomest pieces of church architecture in the city. Trinity counted without an expression of the majority of the people and failed in its endeavor. The arrogance of the church fretted the good people, and more to spite the churchwardens than because Broad- 1 way was nearer the center of the city 1 Broadway acquired the preference, and 1 the glory of Hudson street departed, never to return. It has been remarked that the streets laid out by Trinity on the farm are all perfectly straight, while many in the lower part of the city nre wonderfully crooked. The explanation of this lies in the fact that scarcely a small hill existed on the farm, while below there crooked lanes and byways, to say nothing of cow paths, were turned into streets, which ran in devious ways around hills, valleys and swamps. Many streets were named after the owners of property adjacent to or

through which the ways were laid. Moore street was originally the line of the first wharf erected In the city. Colonel Moore was formerly a large owner of the lots when first built upon. John street was named after John Harpending, who resided In Broadway, and John street when first laid out passed through his garden. Cortlandt, Dey and Beekman streets were carried through the property of the men after whom they were named. Ann street was named after Ann Beekman. Vandewater, Roosevelt, Rutgers, Gouverneur, Harrison, Lispenard. Bayard. De Lancey, Rivington and Willett streets were so designated because they passed through the property of people bearing these names. Hester street was named after one of ' the Bayard family and Catharine after Catharine Rutgers. Henry street was named after a son of the Rutgers family. and Jacob street bounded the Jaeob Leisler estate. Frankfort street was also a boundary of the same estate. Leisler was a native of Frankj furt. Janies street was named after a me’nber of the De Lancey family, ns was also Oliver street. Batavia lane was so called because the Roosevelt estate, through which this street was run, was called New Batavia. Division street was originally the division line between the De Lancey and I Rutgers farms. Leonard street was named after one of the Llspenards, and Orchard street was cut through the orchard of the De Lancey furtn. , Sheriff street was called after Sheriff

I Willett, through whose estate it was carried. Mangin and Goerek streets were named after the two city surveyors who laid out the river line. The first mayor of New York after the Revolution, a true patriot, wns James Dunne, who was honored by the naming of Duane street after him. Elm, Orange and Mulberry streets were laid out through public property I in tlie vicinity g>f tlie Collect pond and i owe their names to the peculiarities I they suggest. Cherry street was orlgi- | Hally run through “the road by the cherry trees'* and named accordingly. —New York Herald. i - Rogues dlfft ;■ little. Each began as a disobedient son.—Chinese Proverb.
