later he defeated Johnny Nilsson, an
other crack. At this time Baptie was
earning a reputation, but none of the

Plan to Subdivide Property.

At that time there was a plan on foot
to subdivide the entire property into
tracts OF 100 acres each, to lie sold to
small farmers, but Mr.. Cheney promptly
announced his intention TO restore the
house and the estate TO its pristine glory.
Two widely separated wings were all
that was standing of the house, While
between them was only a tangled mass
of smoke-blackened bricks and mortar,
the relics of fire which wrecked the
main building more than fifty years be-
fore And only the thick walls of the
old buildings prevented the spread of the
confiagration and the destruction OF the
entire premises.
Mr.. Cheney employed an eminent ar
chitect from New York city, and kept
him for several days on the ground
where he might imbibe ideas and in
SEPARATION which would enable him to per-
feet plans for the restoration of the
mansion along its original lines. And
the house as il stands today, in the
midst of "A magnificent grove of century

quaint old tester beds, spindle-leg high
boys and low settees, offers an almost

Colonists Sought Land Grants.

From the first the advantages of Tide
water Virginia were recognized, and so
eagerly did the new colonists seek for
grants In the fertile meadow lands along
the rivers and in the primeval forests
rolling away inland for miles that soon
after the beginning Of immigration there
were no more land grants left in the gift
of the crown
AS part of one of these royal grants to
Robins and Warner, for services rem

In 1866 a three-Story brick building

still serves. In it is the original stone

From Augustine Warner, Warner Hall
descended to his SON. Augustine, COM
monty known as Speaker Warner whose
brilliant but brief career ended in 1851.
Speaker Warmers eldest daughter Mil

OF John Washington, and she was the
grandmother of Gen. George Washington

are the same in every respect as when
they were first built. The present state
~ mansion embodies all that remained
of Its several predecessors. All OF the
old bricks are in its foundations. and
several of the original manteis shelter
the flames before which Warner Hall
house parties pop corn and roast chest
nuts on December evenings. Even the
original door key Of the east wing which
is used now only for an overflow OF
guests, opens the door of hospitality Ia
guests OF 1910. Two old settees still
stand on the north porch. throwing a
wide and comfortable welcome to War

guests. A number of fiagstones, which
have been i'm use for fully 300 years,
pave the way to the principal entrance.

In their every line the hospitality of We

Some Features Of Warner Hall.
One of the most interesting features OF
the estate is the old burial ground OF the
Warmers and Lewises. From an old stile
over the cemetery fence there are visible
thirteen solid stone slabs, each lying fiat
on the ground, with the names of Wash
ington's ancestors carved upon them In
several cases two graves are in the one
brick foundation, and in one case three
lie close together I'm eternal sleep.
The fame of Warner Hall has been
sung by old-time courtiers, and the vista
from its porches has furnished inspiration
for at least one of the countrys most
famous poets.
