President Roosevelt left Pine Knot al
noon today for a wild turkey hunt or
Green mountain, the scene of his former
conquest last December. when he pulled
down a big gobbler on the wing after II
had been flushed by his negro guide.
| The President met with no successes or
| yesterdays hunt, due to the stiff vino
which prevented him from getting close
| enough to the flock to obtain a shot.
Mrs. Roosevelt went for another horse
| back ride this afternoon, accompanied BY
Joseph Wilmer.
Tomorrow forenoon the party will at
tend worship at Christ Church half a mile
from the hunting lodge The sermon viii
be preached by Rev. w. H. Darzie. the
new rector.
Off to the Blind. !,
The stiff southern breeze that prevailed
yesterday afternoon prevented the Presi-
dent getting close enough to the. wild
turkey to get even single shot. Undis-
mayed, however, at his failure, and de-
spite the threatening clouds, he set out
on horseback again this. afternoon in
quest of the wary birds, the destination
this time being the old haunts in Green
mountain. where big gobbler was killed
on the wing last December by well
directed shot. The start was made two
hours earlier than yesterday, Uncle Dick
Mcdaniel leading the way to one of his
favorite blinds.
When the President bade Stenographer
McGrew goodbye at North Garden Thurs
day afternoon it was his idea to divorce
himself entirely from work of any sort
and much was his surprise to find Mr.
McGrew and Secret Service Guard Sloan
awaiting him at Pine Knot upon his re-
turn from yesterday afternoons hunt
After supper a reply was dictated to the
telegram from the White House, but II
was not delivered at the local teiegrapr
office until noon today, the drive of the
couriers across country consuming over
three hours.
Will Attend Church.
Tomorrow morning at 11:30 o'clock the
President and party will attend divine
services at Christ Church, ST. AIMS
parish, which is less than half mile
from the Roosevelt cottage. Mrs. Roose
welt and Miss Carew will go over in
carriage, and, if the weather is fair, the
President will foot it in company WITH
the boys. The President usually reaches
the church before the hour set for the
services, as is the habit of his country
neghbors, in order to hold a brief cha'
with several of his acquaintance. The
sermon tomorrow will be by the new
rector, Rev w. H. Darbie, who recently
succeeded Rev. Thomas P. Baker.
Boys and the Beagles.
Mrs Roosevelt appears to be enjoying
the outdoor life as much as the Presi'
dent. This morning she went for long
drive, accompanied by her sister. anc
this afternoon enjoyed a horseback ride
on one of the best park saddlers in the
Plain Dealing stables. She was accom-
| panied by MIR. Joseph Wilmer. So en-
crossed are Kermit, Archie and Quentin
! in following the beagles and enjoying
tramps through the woods that thus fan
they have not found time to pay theii
| usual visit to the store at Glendover.
