ORIGIN OF THE NAME BLACKWELL'S ISLAND The following timely article appeared In a recent Issue of the Long Island City Star: While Is on over the adoption of an appropriate name for the structure which has hitherto been known as Blackwell' Island Bridge, at might be well to glance at any enlight enment which the earlier history of Long Island affords as to nomenclature hereabout Of particular Interest is It to trace back how Blackwell's Island came to be known by this name, and In this connection there aippears In the "History of Long Island City a Record of Its Early Settlement and Progress." pub lished from the Star office In 18M, the following Interesting explanation: "Ravenswood, north of the land of Do-mlne Bogardut, was first settled by t.t. Francis Fyn, who In 1RB1 had acquired from the Dutch Government title to a large tract lying across the river. It would appear that upon the accession of the English to the sovereignty ofl New Amsterdam In IKK. this title ceased, for one Jacob 'Blackwell received from the new Governor a grant Including the land In question.

Jacob Blackwell was the eon of Richard Blackwell, who. 'com! rug from E'llzabethtown, In New Jersey, had married the stepdaughter of Capt. Manning, whose manor embraced the Island In th East Hlver hearing his name. Through this alliance Richard subsequently came Into possession of the Island which has since been called Black- well's Island. The old homestead.

If Is stands on the Island and may be eeen by the tourist from the deck of his vessel. The house now standing at th foot of' Webster avenue Is the erlgl-nal (mansion of Jacob Blackwell built by him npon his accession to his new grant." It thus appears that It was by a mere chance, or the result of a marriage, that Blackwell's Island, which was formerly called "Manning's Island, came to receive Its name; and of nil the" arguments for associating the name of Blackwell from the bridge thus far brought forward," this Is the strongest. Although the islanoVhas been known by the name of that respected long Island family for more than 300 years, the fact furnishes no reason why a stupendous puWic work. Involving the welfare and prosperity of Queens for as many centuries more, should perpetuate It or why the name of a chance Jersey settler should be forever Incorporated In the history of New York. Of course there arc many other arguments, including the charitable and penal uses to which the Island is known far and wide to have been put.

Nearly a score could be put forward why the bridge should be known as the Queensboro Bridge, but they have nearly all been iby the readers of this papei There would be Just as much reason in calulng the Belmont tunnel the "'Man o'War Reef tunnel." because the tubes pass under and through that elevation in the bed of the East River, as In persisting in calling the bridge the Blackwell's Island Bridge. In the one case two of the piers of th bridge rest on an island in mld-rlver, while In the other by using the small Island as an operating centre the work of excavating the tubes was completed In record time. In place of being reminded of the proposed name Queensboro for the bridge, most people, we venture to say, will caM it by that tame right along. The old Roebllng bridge came to be called the Brooklyn Bridge, ther. being no other choice: as a matter of course the second trans-river structure was called after VVilllamtiburgh.

and when No. 3 got we under way it waa called the Manhattan Bridge, there being no section of Brooklyn to name It after except Flat-bush, and that Is as Inappropriate as Blackwell's Island is for Bridge. No. 4. This is In line with the suggestion published recently In the Times, which has made It an office rule that the bride across Blackwell's Island shall be elg-nated aa the Queensboro Bridge; Rain Spoiled I.
