CHEVY CHASE.
The Old Rodgers Mansion and the Fa.
nous Washington Club.

The Old Rodgers Mansion and the Fa.
nous Washington Club.
Doubtless few Of the many thousands
Of persons who have read of Chevy
Chase have any idea of the interesting
history attached to the clubhouse and
surroundings. Part Of the old colonial
structure as it stands today was erect
cd in 1747 and from that time until a
few years ago remained in the Rodg-
ers family. In the war Of 1912, when
the British were advancing on Wash
ington, the army and navy records
were taken from the White House and
secreted in the cellar Of the Rodgers
mansion, where they were kept for
several days.
The Rodgers family has been famous
in the American navy, no fewer than
seven having served as admirals. The
estate consisted of something like 200
acres, and as the beautifying OF the
property was always a hobby Of its
owners 1t is not surprising that un-
usual taste should have been shown in
laying it out. 1t is fact that there
arc 105 varieties of trees and bushes
to be found within stones throw of
the clubhouse. Not far from the pres
ent fourth green there was once a
sunken garden, but this is scarcely
more than a memory now.
The Chevy Chase club took posses
sion in 1888 and at first rented the
property from the Rodgers estate, but
later the club purchased 200 acres.
Several horse shows have been con-
Quoted on the property, and some
years back the regular old fashioned
county fairs were popular there. The
membership consists of persons promi-
nent in Washington socially. 1t is only
half an hours ride from the treasury
to tho door of the clubhouse.-Ex-

Although no accurate estimate Of the
total amount of money thus to be places
can be formed, Al is known that a number
of Wall street houses having London con-
nections have cabled large sums to be laid
on horses entered for the derby, the city

Most OF the money thus wagered Is pinned
to the chances which such horses as
James r. Keene's Ballot and Colin, Louis
Winan's Sir Martin and August Belmont's

have in the respective races for which they
