'WANDERL LISTERS TO HIKE
TO SPUR OF BLUE RIDGE
Leave by Train to Harpers Ferry
and Walk Will Begin
There.

Sunday the wanderlusterS are to take
their longest trip from the city, going
to Harpers Ferry and vicinity. The
committee reports plans all ready for
the outing. The fare for the round trip
is 81, plus scent bridge toll at Har-
pers Ferry. Every one should bring an
extra nickel for this purpose. advises
the committee.
The start is to be made from the
Union station at s:o5 o'clock over the
Baltimore and Ohio. arriving at Har-
pers Ferry at 1O:1s O'Clock. John o.
Lewis, Mr. Greene and Walter w. Paige
will take charge CT the crowd at the
station. At Harpers Ferry the leader.
DIR. T. c. Stottler will have charge. He
is to be assisted by several Boy Scouts
and the Ladies' Walking Club of that
city. II describing the trip DIR. Stottler
SAYS in letter to the hikerS.
Il have decided to take you to a spur
of the Blue Ridge in Virginia which is
far ahead of Maryland Heights for
viewing adjacent country: to the east
eighteen miles, Sugar Loaf mountain;
to the southeast twenty-five miles,
C1arks gap at Leesburg, and to the
northeast. Braddock Heights, including
Lovettsville, Knoxville and Weaverton
valleys. From the rocks the noun
tain excellent views of several of the
ad djacent villages may be obtained
will furnish my own bugler and Boy
Scout aids, who are we'll accustomed to
following me over the mountain trail"
The itinerary calls for seven and one
half to eight miles of walking. with stous
for dinner and supper and rest intervals
Some excellent spring water will be OBJ
tainabe at the bottom of the mountain
but no water is to be found on top so
every one is advised to carry canteen
or water bottle. Ladies should wear COM
Portable dress skirts and walking shoes.
Field glasses will serve a good purpose
to those who possess them.
The historic claim of the spur to which
the hfkers will head for is that it was one
of Mosby's haunts. where he could watch
over many miles of country, and some of
his scouts were at all times on it. 1t also
overlooks the site of the attack of Mos
by on Coles Cavalry on January 9, 1864,
on the Blue Ridge fronting this spur
with disastrous results to the former.
On the return trip Harpers Ferry will
be reached before dark, where dinner
may be secured at one of the local ho-
tells. The interval between then and the
time to leave $3.50 will be disposed Of
in some way so that the wait will not
seem monotonous This will probably be
the last out-of-town trip for the year
For those who will be unable to join in
this trip, 1t is stated that walk has
been arranged for the following Sunday
to be in convenient reach of every one.
