193. Washington‘s Journey to New York
At ten o ' clock in the morning of April 14,1789, Wash - ington left Mt . Vernon and set out for New York . Wherever he passed the people poured forth to greet him . At Trenton , New Jersey , a triumphal arch had been erected . The school girls strewed flowers in his path and sang an ode written for the occasion . A barge manned by thir - teen pilots met him at the water ＇ s edge and bore him safely to New
York .
