150 Years Ago (September 1874) Following a report that a student had swam across the Hudson River near West Point in 40 minutes, a former Cold Spring resident, A. Maxwell, claimed he had done it in 35 minutes. "I feel confident I could have done it in 30 minutes but for a stiff breeze blowing me up the river," forcing him to sidestroke. He said Mr. Black, who had followed in a boat, could corroborate. The West Point Foundry organized its second annual excursion for employees and their families aboard the William Cook, which left the dock at 8:25 a.m. on a Thursday with 1,000 passengers. "As early as 7 a.m., the living tide began to flow down the [Main Street] hill" to the dock, reported The Cold Spring Recorder. While James Ruddiman and his family were on the excursion, thieves broke into their home near Little Stony Point and stole $50 [about $1,400 today]. A gold-leaf sign was applied to the plate-glass door at Pelham & Co. Jewelers. A carriage driver stopped his team just as a front wheel knocked down Jimmy Murphy, 4, opposite St. Mary's Church. The boy was not seriously injured. An eagle sat for a time atop the Reformed Church spire. The Putnam County Agricultural Society held its 24th annual Cattle Show and Horse Exhibition over four days at the fairgrounds in Carmel. Clara Louise Kellogg, a diva who had a summer home in Philipstown, gave an impromptu concert in the dining hall at West Point. To reduce fatalities, the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad said it would more aggressively prosecute people who walked on the tracks. A baseball game between the hometown Kellogg team and a squad from Newburgh ended prematurely after William Foster began bickering with the umpire, who called the game after he said the pitcher denounced him as a "____ liar!" The editor of The Recorder defended Foster, saying he had been "goaded into unreasonable passion." The Recorder noted an unusual sight during the slow shipping season: a "cloud of canvas" as 22 ships passed Constitution Island and the dock at the same time. At least 1,500 people in the area had malarial fever, although no one was sure how it spread. "A general opinion has prevailed that the upper lower coves and the marsh are fertile sources," reported The Recorder. It said a man who had recently purchased a home left until "the air became more healthful." [Mosquitoes would not be identified as transmitters of malaria until the turn of the century.] The Recorder called out The Newburgh Journal for its accusation that a Cold Spring team canceled a baseball game at the last minute to avoid losing. After the Putnams' manager said several key players had malarial fever, which can cause shivering, The Journal claimed their "shakes" were probably caused by fear of playing the Magnolias. Richard Denney lost $9 [$250] in Nelsonville while betting on the position of the "little joker" in a game of thimblerig [aka the shell game]. M. Ladue and H. Mekeel killed an adder that contained 27 baby serpents. Henry Porter, superintendent of the gasworks, was awakened at 2 a.m. by cries from the street outside his home. He found a man with a badly sprained ankle who said he had fallen from a pile of lumber in the darkness after getting off a boat. Porter and the watchman took the injured man to the depot in a wheelbarrow, set up bedding and at daylight took him to the friend he was coming to meet. John Chase, while hunting squirrels in DeRham's woods, shot a crane that measured over 4 feet tall. Chase said he would experiment with cooking it. An anonymous reader who attended the Democratic caucus at Town Hall noted strife between two factions, with one claiming the other's delegates had been bribed to make nominations. "In olden times - say 50 years ago - whoever heard of money entering into elections?" he asked. After rowing across the river, the Kellogg club defeated Cornwall, 67-5. The game was called after the Cold Spring squad scored 25 runs in the sixth inning. Dr. Lente reported ...
