Herbert WeStenhdver
As Swimming Champion

The hundreds of holiday visitors at
Falling Waters on the Glorious Fourth
had a most enjoyable time. but none
of them went about it more strenuous
ly than did the swimming champion
from the Emerald Isle, whose chal
lenge to a race on the Potomac was
accepted by Berkeley county's most
promising Waterman. Though practi
cally 4 novice at the natatory art, Mr.
Herbert Westenhaver felt no qualms
when about to enter the contest with
such an accomplished and experienced
swimmer as Mr.. Richard Best of the
NorWalk Motor Works, whose reputa.
ton on the rivers of Ireland and in
New York harbor's turpid waters is
so well known. The contest was judg-
ed by w. II. Montgomery, Cecil Gus.
ter acting as starter, and at a. m.
both athletes and their trainers de.
clared themselves ready for the FRAY.
Starting from the Maryland side, the
rivals kept together for about GO
yards. but the young Martinsburger
soon began to forge ahead and easily
maintained his lead, reaching the oppo.
site bank before the challenger had
covered tWothirds of that distance
still swimming strongly. Westenhav-
er crossed and rocrossed the river in
the same time that his sturdy oppon-
ent occupied doing two-thirds of the
trip. thus proving his superiority and
stamina ut all points of the contest
and his right to the ten dollars prize
money. The winner afterwards gave
an exhibition of fancy diving, propell-
lH% and other apparently impossible
stunts, the sight of which inspired ono
of the spectators to poetic thusly;
TO float ON the water, so bouyant,
so free.
The acme OF ecstasy that is to me;
Now in the trough, now on the crest,
In natures own cradle, rock me To

that, having tried out the initiafive. the
