Governors match of the Ohio State Rife

a serious handicap. The high snlrmish
score was 81, made by Holt, Schriver and
Clonser.
Gen. Fred D. Grant came at noon to
spend two days with the rifemen. De-
tachments of the I'd and the 10th United

here to do the marking and scoring, met
him at the station and escorted him to

that had again gathered at the doors
and on the sidewalk to see him
emerge, and with his brother saun-
tered quietly up Fourteenth street.
Fol some distance a hundred or so of
his admirers followed, but they event
ually dropped off one by one.
President Roosevelt always caught
the crowds on his way to and from
church. His RAPID gait, and the diff
Guilty the Secret Service men had to
keep pace with him always served to
attract the attention of ~passers-by.
Mr.. Taft declined to walk too rapidly,
observed all the conventionalities and
altogether was a disappointment.
1t was noticed that the two Secret
Service agents who kept close to the
President wore the conventional frock
coat and silk hat which is the distinc-
tive garb OF the service operatives.
President Roosevelt never insisted
upon this, and as a result the men
who watched over him arrayed them
selves as they saw fit. The change is
taken to mean that President Taft
proposes to maintain a more dignifed
establishment than his free-and-easy
predecessor.
After Sunday luncheon the Presi-
dent bestrode Sterret, his newly ac-
CURED horse, purchased at Hot
Springs, Va. and with General Clar-
ence r. Edwards, his military aid;
Captain Archibald Butt and ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's orderly, McDermott,
went for a twelve"mile ride ove the
newly constructed Potomac speedway.
Automobiles will be almost the ex-
elusive method of locomotion of Pres
ident Taft and his family. The
White House automobile will have
the right of way throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and will know no
| speed limit.
Two fine new automobiles already
have been purchased with the S12,-
900 appropriated by Congress for this
purpose, and Mr.. Taft has given them
a thorough trial. One is a good
! weather machine. a big touring car
with detachable top, and painted in
dark green of three shades. This will
be the one most used by the Presi-
dent. The other car has a limousine
body painted black. and was pur-
chased for the use of Mrs. Taft. Both
bear on each door the official coat of
| arms of the United States.
The cars are in charge of men sent
from the factories, who will turn the
machines over to the White House
head chauffeur, who will receive 500
a month. He will have n assistant.
The White House garage will be in
the present stables. Besides the two
, automobiles they will quarter seven
horses, which will be at the disposal
of Secretary Carpenter and his assist
