Founding Of the Society.
The society was founded by four women,
Of whom Mrs. Mary 9. lockwood was
considered the leader. since 1t was her
ready pen which gave to the public the
germ of the D. A. r. idea. When, a
few years ago. the national society de-
cided to present the four founders with
jeweled medals in recognition of their
patriotic services. that given Mrs. Lock-
wood was distinguished from the other
three by having for the bar a quill pen
in gold, set with diamonds. One of the
founders. Miss Eugenia Washington. died
a few years ago. The other two founders,
Miss Desha and Mrs. Walworth, are 1iv-
ing.
Mrs. Donald Mclean was the first
president general to be elected from the
common people" She never believed in
eIecting as a head of SO great an organ
ization as the u. a. r. woman whose
chief recommendation might be that her
husband held a high position. Mrs. Nc
Lean stood for election for Ave successive
terms, avowedly to break the precedent,
and at last succeeded. That made 1t
possible to elect Mrs. Matthew T. Scott.
who was also floor" member.
Mrs. Mclean was one of the founders
of the New York City Chapter, and its
regent for ten years. AS soon as she
was out Of national Office she was again
elected regent, and comes back to the
congress with vote. In this she has the
advantage of all the other past presi-
dents general, not one of whom has been
actively affiliated with the society. Mrs.
Mclean Is a supporter of the administra-
lion.

Gift to the President.

One OF the prettiest ceremonies of the
morning was the presentation to Presi-
dent Taft of a chair. made in the colonial
type, from wood taken from the British
battleship Augusta. which was recently
raised from the fats of the Delaware
river, where it's wreck lay for more than
126 years. The gift was from the New
Jersey chapters of the .. A. r., the
presentation speech being made by Mrs
William Libbey, the state regent OF New
Jersey.
Mrs. Libbey referred briefly to stirring
bit of revolutionary history when she told
about the spirited fighting which brought
about the loss of the frigate Augusta. In
part, she said:
Lord Howe and his troops had occl-
pied Philadelphia in 1916 and W ashington
was drawing his lines constantly closer
The Continentals sought an advantage by
blocking the channel of the. Delaware
river. Naturally the British made a de-
termined effort open the river route SO
that supplies &C be brought in.

sailed majestically up the river and SUBJ
dued the first of series or thr forts
which the Americans had built. AT the
second fort. however, the Continentals
were concentrated, and what has gone
Bank occurred. The Augusta lost her
way in the shadows and went aground.
and after her magazine had been ex-
ploded she surrendered.
THE hulk lay in the river until two
years ago when the ambitious regent OF
the New Jersey Chapter conceived the
idea OF having the wreck raised and the
wood used to mold furniture for the New
Jersey room in Continental Hall and for
this other chair, which we take great
pleasure in presenting TO the President OF
the United States
Mrs. Libbey invited all of the delegates
