Motor Boat Maneuvers.

MOTOR boat maneuvers-the latest
Av4 thing in naval demonstrations
are planned for the first two weeks OF
September in waters adjacent to New
York city, the event being called
'joint naval and motor boat exercises"
At the beginning Of the European
war several countries. particularly
England, discovered a source of unsus-
pected strength in their fleets of pri-
vately owned business and pleasure
motor boats. It is largely because of
the value these boats proved to Eng
land that the present demonstration is
planned. Several officers of the Unit
ed States Navy, among them Rear Ad-
miraI Blue, became interested in for
mulating plans for similar work In this
country.
Not only are the seacoast resorts OF
this country aswarm with pleasure
craft, but our inland waters as well.
and It is believed that they should
prove an invaluable auxiliary to coast
defense should any emergency arise.
how much dependence may be placed
upon the owners and crews of these
craft.
Seven submarines will take part in
the maneqvers. -Four Of these will: be
D-boat type. The L-boats and the
tender Bushnell will base on Block Is
land. while tho D-boats and the mon
itor Tonopah as tender will base ON
Cold Spring harbor. Several battle
ships will also take part
The motor boats will probably base
on Newport. Sandy Hook and Delaware
breakwater and show Just what they
can do in the matter Of detecting sub
marines. repelling submarine attacks
in war. patrolling. scouting. mine
planting and mine sweeping. as well
as attacking ships protected by search-
lights and patrol boats.
Already q large number Of motor
boats have been. entered. and the spirit
with which American boat owners are
backing the demonstrations can be
Judged from the names Of a few Of the
craft entered.
Among them are: William Zieslers
Gem. Robert T. Roosevelt's Sunbeam
II. August Belmont's Berracuda.
Charles A. Sch1eren's Siwash, Archibald
Selwyn's Sonny Bill II. Leonard II.
Dyer's Atlantis. Frederick L. uptohn's

owners in 1902 were Daniel Carroll of

Carroll was the largest owner, having
FIVE lots: Nessmith and Law owned
three, and James R. Dermotts heirs
owned one, lot No. Z. In 1870 George
Biagden had come into possession of
three of Daniel CarroIrs lots-those
numbered one, two and three-and the
other owners in the square were Ed

Rachel Wheat. Franklin
Wharton, Samuel Vardin and Daniel

was the owner of two lots, having
bought them several years before-in

vised-and ne increased his holdings

east and north to the Eastern branch,
which was also to be bridged. The
Rambler found this bit Of news in the
Evening Star of June 1, 1872:
An organization of the Washington and East
Alexandria Railroad Company was effected this
morning at meeting held at the ofice Of George
Mattingly on 9th street. The meeting was called
to order by Gen. G. W. Ballock. Joseph Segar
of Virginia was made chairman and r. NJ. Hall
secretary.
Books opened and stock subscribed by
Messrs. segar. Tsallock, Mattingly. Hall J. 81.
Russell, &. L. Walker and E. W. Lander. A
permanent organization then effected by
the choice of J. H. Russell president, George
Mattingly as treasurer and r. NJ. Hall a. Sec
retary of the company. Seven directors were
also chosen.
The proposed road is to cross the narrowest
point on the river below Washington at Alex
andria. Thence 1t will sweep along the valley
of 0xon run. thence down the ravine at Howard
town and through Uniontown, thence along the
shore of the Eastern branch and across the river
above Congressional cemetery. 1t will enter
the city on the line of street north. The
Objectionable feature about the project is that
it proposes a bridge over the Potomac river
which may interfere with the navigation Of
that stream.
The Rambler has written at consider
able length of the homes of the early
Evening star., 1916-09-24

ENlHE Rambler has previously written
at some length of the venerable
III homes near the foot of Sd street
q southeast and on n street at its
junction with Sd, short square from tho
Eastern branch At the foot of Sd street
was Guinand's wharf 1t stood there for
a good many years. and there is wharf
at that point now.
Guinand's wharf was named after L.
w Guinand. who was prominent in the
industrial life of Washington in the 7os
and SOS, and it may be, for all the
Rambler knows. that he a prominent
business man earlier than the -0s He
was a wood and coal merchant, but had
numerous other business activities. In
1875 he was one of the promoters Of the
Anacosta and Potomac River Street Rail-
road Company. This company began
operations by running two one-horse cars
from the navy yard gate to a point in
Anacostia a few yards south of Shreve's
drug store. The line was extended west
from the navy yard gate along NJ street
to 9TH street west. and the line on the
south side of the Eastern branch was
heightened to Hllsdale. 1t was single
track railway, with turntable at each
terminus and turn-outS along its course.
Ned Horne. who became prominent in the
and is still among US. was one. of the early
employees of this railway.
The line was projected with the view of
giving eaSt-and-weSt street car facilities
to Southeast and Southwest Washington
Mr.. Guinand's fellow workers in the or
ganization of the car line were DR. Noble
Young. Edward Temple. H A Griswold,
r. B. Clark. Alfred Richards. John Web
ster. zadock Williams and G. h Bohrer.
As noted it was in 1875 that the COM
pany was organized. but the Rambler
believes that the line did not begin opera
tions until 1876. A line of this character
had long been agitated. The Rambler re-
calls that there a melting of citizens

In 1884 the lot owners in that square,
in addition to Edward Mattingly, were
Nathaniel Brady, Griffith Coombe, w. T.

square were Thomas Blagden, Edward

the owners were Thomas Blagden, Zad-

On the north side of n street, west
from the corner of Sd street southeast

the large number of descendants OF
those Mattinglys. as well as of Mat

from st. Marys county. Others have
come to Washington from the west,
but they descended from Mattinglys

Ohio and Mississippi valleys.
