FASTING AND PRAYER.

The Christian people of our State. dur
ing its long and brilliant history. have
cherished and been accustomed to OBJ
serve this day, by abstaining from all
unnecessary labor. and invoking. amid
the surroundings of the home and in
places of public worship, the blessings of
Heaven upon our Country, our State and
her Institutions: and by intoxicating the
principles of righteousness, of truth, of
amity and peace.
This revered and time honored custom.
established by the early fathers. is still
worthy of preservation and continuance;
and may the day have appropriate re-
cognition and be observed in a BETTING
manner by all the people of our common
wealth.
Given at the Executive Chamber in
Augusta, this sixth day Of April. in
the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and ninetysix, and of
the Independence of the United
States of America the one hundred
and twentieth.

- there was half as much travel on

THE MARLBORO RUN.
Another trip often taken is to Marl-
boro, Md. This route runs out by Benning
and comes back by Good Hope Hill. There
is nothing very hard about it, though one or
two hills will try the tourists powers.
The smooth asphalt disappears at Fiji
teenth street and Maryland avenue north,
but the road most of the way is solid gravel
or firm earth. There are two or three
ugly patches of sand after the plateau be-
yond the Branch is reached, and they ma Ike
the going very heavy. At times, too, there
is some mud in the low grounds near the
river, but this can usually be avoided.
The heaviest grade is just beyond Ben
ming, and it's good deal Of pull 10 get
up it. Coming back the main Marlboro
! read is followed down the Good Hope Hill
into Anacostia, where smooth streets and
ease are again reached. The run down the
hill is about amile and quarter.
The whole distance covered is about thirty
at n reasonable price. OF course the dis
tance can be made shorter at will, and the
starting and returning ends can be re-
-versed.
On the Virginia side the roads run TO long,
steep hills within mile and half, except
the way 10 Alexandria. This last named
road Is rather uninviting until the vicinity
of Mount Vernon IS reached, but a trip is re-
paid by look about the quaint Virginia
city that once promised to become a great
A tlantic port.
4 fine ride on the Virginia side is from
the Columbia road west along the line of
the new electric road in front of Arlin gton
to RoSlyn. This allows the visitor to see
the most historic of all our national ceme-
teries, with It's huge stone wall, splendid
Gateways, with pillars bearing soul-stir-
ring inscriptions. Usually the road is quite
smooth and makes excellent wheeling.
The River road, starting Just beyond
Grant road on the west side of the Tenley-
town road, is Il descriptive bit, against
which riders need to be guarded For q
short distance the way is really fine wheel
ing and the ride attractive. but presently
trouble begins -Marshy places appear,
streams that are almost impossible are
succeeded by steep hills, and finally the
level when reached is rough or heavy
A pretty good trip out that way is found
along the Tenleytown road to Bethesda
Park. IT is a sixteen-mile run in all. At
the blacksmith shop beyond Bethesda post
office the road to the left is followed.
FINE CoASTING HILL.
pleasant jaunt is out the Tenleytown
road to the District line, where the cleo
trio roads stop. There is fine coasting hill
running from where the BrookviIle and
River roads brasch OFF down toward the

line. To avoid this and two smaller hills
on the return trip the cross-road just north
OF the Willows will lead east to the Brook
vile road and thence south back to- the
Tenleytown road.
In this section there are numerous side
runs that will repay an expert riders
trial. The shortest aud probably most
likely to win the favor OF new riders is a
two-mlle run which practically makes d
circuit of Georgetown. Starting from Tl1r-
ty-fifth and streets in Georgetown the
way goes northwest on Thirty-fifth to
street. west on the New Cut road to the
FoXhall road, south to the eastern end of
the Conduit road will bring the wheel
smoothly back to the city asphalt.
A number of variations from this are pos
sible with no seriously bad results except
lengthening OF the trip. There are. how
ever, if the route runs much be yond the New
Cut way several private roads that must be
carefully avoided, as they are practically
lmpoSsi ble.
The ride to Wheaton, Md, is a good one
for an experienced wheelm9n. 1t is out
the Seventh street road from Florida ave-
nue. about nine miles. The return can be
varied from the outward run by taking the
Kensington road about two miles, then
along the railroad track to Forest Glen and
west from there by what is sometimes call
ed the Broad Branch road.
This crosses the railroad track consider
able distance beyond the District line. 1t

which is followed alongside the Geological
Park to Mount Pleasant, where Park street

see the wonderful piece of engineering per
formed there nearly half a century ago in
carrying the aqueduct across that cbasm n

bottom. One way of reaching the place
has been noted, the Conduit road. Another
more difficult, and therefore, to some, the
more to be desired, is to go out Tenlev ROAD
to the River road, thence direct along that
hard trip northwest skirting the run after
some eight miles out till the first public
crossway is reached. This is the Seven
