STARS AND STRIPES IN ENGLAND
Mr Francis Treman King, of New York, has invested 1500 dollars (about .•6300) to provide in perpeutity' for the flying of the Stars and Stripes from one of the flagstafls at SulgTave’Manor, England (the old home of the Washingtons) and for kindred purposes. The Washington Arms, which are carved in stone on the doorway of Bulgrave Manor, are thought to have .formed the inspiration for the American national emblem, the Stars and Stripes. American sentiment is gratified at the flying together of the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes at the old Washington Manor Hawse and this endowment by Mr King is intended to mark their appreciation.
