It was kept by Cozzens, and was noted all over the city and Country for its \u201ctable.\u201d It made a feature of its \u201cladies\u2019 ordinary,\u201d where, it was claimed, the best served dinner and lunch on the continent was to be obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A prominent guest of the American hotel in its palmy days was General Scott, then in the height of his glory, \u201cScott boards there,\u201d people used to say, pointin\u2019 to the American, as if that settled it. Cozzens was excessively proud of havin\u2019 the most distinguished military man in America as his guest, and made him as comfortable as possible. He at first refused to take money from the General, kind of thinkin\u2019 that his name was money enough to the house. But the old General was so mad at the bare idea of puttin\u2019 him on the free list and usin\u2019 his name as an advertisement that he nearly left the hotel in a huff. Ah! Scott didn&#8217;t live in these days when Presidents and Presidential candidates made it a point to travel and live as \u201cdeadbeats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Scott, like Brignoli, prided himself on bein\u2019 a good cook. He had an especial hobby for bread, and held that to make excellent bread was the highest achievement of a cook, just as to write simple short sentences is the highest achievement of a writer. When he came to the American the bread there was bad, though perhaps not any worse than it was everywhere else. \u201cTo eat bread in America is to commit suicide,\u201d said Mrs Trollope, and she was half right. At the very first dinner the General ate at the American he sent for Mr. Cozzens, and while complimentin\u2019 him on some of his dishes told him bluntly that his \u201cbread was not fit for dogs to eat.\u201d He then wound up by sayin\u2019 that if Cozzens would send him his cook he would instruct the cook how to bake bread. Cozzens thereupon sent his cook to Scott and Scott gave him his ideas upon bread bakin\u2019. About a week later Scott sent for Cozzens again and told him: \u201cCozzens, your bread is better; that is, it is now just fit for dogs to eat. Send me your cook again and I will get him one step further on the right road.\u201d So the General and the cook had a second interview and the bread got still better, till at last the American Hotel bread got locally and deservedly famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Howard House stood at the corner of Maiden Lane and Broadway, and was greatly frequented by sports and business men\u2013as well as mercantile strangers.

Lover had written several popular songs, but, as a man is generally vainest on his weakest point, he was anxious to make a hit as an actor\u2013a line in which he thought he had no livin\u2019 equal, but a point on which the public differed from him altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"230\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/loversam.jpg?resize=230%2C296&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-448\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Samuel Lover, Irish songwriter, artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another song writer, the man who is responsible for \u201cBeautiful Snow,\u201d used to be \u2018round the same hotel at that time, and spite of the old adage about \u201ctwo of a trade,\u201d the two song writers got along very well together\u2013got to be chums, in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One afternoon the two song-birds were drinking together and Lover said that he felt that he could write a song which would beat any of his others. So he got paper and pencil and dashed off a song. He then walked to the piano in the room, and tried his composition. Somehow, it did not please him as much as he expected, and in a fit of chagrin he tore up the paper and threw it into the grate. Durin\u2019 the evenin\u2019, while Lover was at the theatre, the \u201cBeautiful Snow\u201d man, goin\u2019 into the room for somethin\u2019, saw the fragments of the discarded song lyin\u2019 at the bottom of the grate. They had escaped the flames, and were lyin\u2019 calmly among the ashes underneath. The \u201cBeautiful Snow\u201d man stooped down, picked up the pieces, and put \u2018em together again. The song struck him more favorably on a second trial of it than it had at first, and he put it in his pocket, to hand back to Lover. The next day he appealed \u201cfrom Philip drunk to Philip sober.\u201d He took the restored fragment of the song to Lover&#8217;s room and got the composer to play it over again. He did so, and began to wonder how he could have thrown it away the day before. He at once set to work, revised his work carefully, and the result was a song known all over the world, the best song Lover ever wrote, \u201cPeggy in the Low-backed Car.\u201d This little episode illustrates forcibly the accidents upon which literary or a musical\u2013like all other successes\u2013often depends. Had the \u201cBeautiful Snow\u201d man not got hold of the original fragments, or if the chambermaid of the hotel had got hold of \u2018em instead, the world would have lost a charmin\u2019 song and Lover would have lost a deal of reputation and solid profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"341\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/peggylowbackedcar.jpg?resize=341%2C280&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/peggylowbackedcar.jpg?w=341&amp;ssl=1 341w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/peggylowbackedcar.jpg?resize=300%2C246&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Peggy in] the Low-Backed Car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Washington Hall was the third of the hotels around the City Hall Park on Broadway, and once ranked with the Brunswick or Delmonico of to-day. Among the frequenters of the Hall at one period was a man called Shepard, who later on became a noted figure in the criminal annals of New York. This man Shepard, havin\u2019 saved a little money, went into business for himself and got some stock heavily insured in a dwellin\u2019 house. He set fire to this house, and was condemned to death for arson. But while in the Tombs awaitin\u2019 the death penalty, he excited a good deal of public sympathy by savin\u2019 another prisoner, a young lad, from a violent death at the hands of a third prisoner named Sanchez. This Sanchez had killed his wife in a fit of jealousy and then ran around and tried to kill her whole family, the mother-in-law and all. Previous to the attack of this Sanchez on this prisoner-boy, public feelin\u2019 had been dead against Shepard and in favor of pardonin\u2019 Sanchez, or commutin\u2019 his punishment to imprisonment for life, on the ground of \u201cemotional insanity.\u201d But after this attack public sentiment veered completely round, and everybody clamored for Sanchez&#8217;s immediate execution and the pardon of Shepard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The bar at the old Washington Hall was a very popular one, and the nobs of the day were to be seen in in its immediate vicinity. \u201cHandsome George\u201d Fanwager was the boss barkeeper of the day. He looked a good deal like Ned Gilmore, who has mixed drinks in his time\u2013and mixed \u2018em well. George was a tip-top dresser. He was worth $10,000 a year to any bar-room\u2013and he generally charged the greater part of that for his services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But times have changed, and if Handsome George was alive now he would probably scorn to accept a position in a down-town bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: Efforts to track down &#8220;George Fanwager&#8221; and his elusive concoctions have thus far failed&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Three once famous downtown hotels have been completely wiped<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hotels"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
