Presidents Favorfte Game

Tennis is the principal exercise of the
President these bright, warm spring days.
Two or three times a week he has a hard
game just hack OF his office In the White
House grounds. The tennis court is imme-
diately In the rear of the building In which
are located the executive offices. 1t is kept
in good condition, heavy green screen
shuts of a view of the game from most of
the windows of the State, War and Navy
building just across the street, but clerks
go up to the top story windows and take
a peep at the progress of affairs. They get
their moneys worth, too, the President
plays the game with all the physical and
mental strenuosity he can command. He
considers that tennis is a splendid sport for
bringing into play the muscles of the body.
During his periods of recreation, when
not playing tennis, Mr.. Roosevelt walks or
rides in the suburbs Of Washington He Is
fond of walking. There are few men who
can stand the pace he sets. The stranger
who tries il generally takes the next day
off to rest up his WORKOUT muscles. The
President doesn't walk over the beautiful
driveways and macadamiZed streets and
roads. He gets far out and strikes across
country, jumping bitches, climbing hills,
lodging limbs and underbrush and going
into the whole thing for the good that
comes from it physically. Ii is not dress

schemes were seriously proposed. One was
to hitch turbines ito a big steel shaft run
ming through New York state from east to
west, so that where the shaft passed town
on belt some gear wheels and thus
take off the power wanted. When the state
survey began its investigation any number
of mills had tapped the rapids in conven-
tional ways.
What may be called the first systematic
attempt to harness the falls was made two
years before Gov. Robinson's message to
the legislature urging the emancipation OF
the falls.
There had been completed nineteen years
before, after five years of labor a surface
canal, tapping the Niagara river at Port
Day and running to the edge of the cliff
near the Upper Arch bridge, where 1t ex-
banded into a forebay. The canals length
was 400 feet, its width thirty and its
depth a matter of six, and 1t was the chief
feature Of plan to capture some of
Niagara's energy.
1t was not TIL 1870, however that any
one made use of the canal. Then a grist
mill was built on the edge of the bank near
the forebay. Seven years later, after the
then recently organized Niagara Falls Hy-
draulic Power and Manufacturing Company
had gained control of the canal. manu-
featuring colony began to spring up along
the edge of the gorge. There 1t stands to-

Powerful friends, yet so resourceful were
the private interests that in 1882 the second
bill framed to meet the general demands
for the falls emancipation was defeated,
as the first had been. In the depths Of
their despair several publications seriously
called upon the women of the country who
had saved Mount Vernon to come also to
the rescue of Niagara
During the winter of the same year the
Niagara Falls Association canvassed the
state Of New York from one end to another
in the interests of the reservation Thls
served greatly to rally the dropping forces
of preservation. Indeed, when the legisla-
ture came to consider the third bill it found
the people aroused and solidiy behind the
measure.
