swim in the Potomac, and there is q tradi-
ton here hat during one of these swimming
excursions his clothes were stolen and he
had a hard time getting them back in time
to 90 to the executive mansion.
John Quincy Adams also liked horses,
though he rode but little and he used to walk
out to the race track, two miles from here,
and watch the races. President Harrison'S
grandfather was a good walker, and while
he was in the white house he trotted to
market every morning with his basket on
his arm and picked out his own meats. He
died as much from worry and overwork as
anything, and his last words were uttered in
delirium concerning of1iceseekers. General
Garfield was fond of base ball and he often
attended the games here. George Washing
ton was a noted Jumper in his day, and
when he was a young man, walking up the
Potomac, he stopped at a plantation where
there was a jumping match. AS the story
goes, the prize for the best jumper was to be
the beautiful daughter of the planter,
Washington entered the match ana much to
the disgust of the young lady he distanced
her lover by full ten inches. Noting the
black looks on the girls face and the disap.
pointed appearance of every one as to the
result, he withdrew his claim and tho real
lover, who, up to that time had never had
his equal as a jumper in this part of the
country, got back his sweetheart.
