President of the United States; and to the best of my ability, preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Then, amid the ringing of bells, the firing of cannon, a great shout
went up, "Long live George Washington, President of the United States."

It was the streets of New York that first resounded to this glorious
cry!

Federal Hall was the old City Hall. It stood on the northeast corner of
Wall and Nassau streets, on ground now occupied by the United States
Sub-Treasury.

New Yorkers have much to be proud of in their city. G.H. ROSENFELD.
