Gen. Washington was in his prime a
great sportsman. BE was particularly
fond Of fox hunting, keeping pack of
hounds from imported stock and several
hunters. With these hounds he hunted
almost every day. In fact, he lived in
all respects as does the typical country
gentleman in Virginia at present. He
was a dancer, and regularly attended the
assemblies held in the long room Ia the
City Tavern at Alexandria. The tavern
is still there, and the room In which the
Father of his Country walked many 8
stately minnet. Sons of the Revolution
and other hereditary patriots made the
spot a Mecca for pilgrimage. One of
Washingtou's latest extsut letters. dated
in 1895, is note declining an invitation
to an assembly at this same city tavern,
in which he says. speaking for Mrs.
Washington and himself: "Alss our
dancing days are over" While he was
President. Gen. Washington found no
time for sport. He was getting old then,
and, aher drinking bis regular two glasses
Of Madeira at dinner, he retired every
