WASHINGTON, D.

What pleased everybody most was
the call upon Governor Davis,

governors are extremely busy men

private secretary had advised him
that The Herald's Party's time was
limited he Immediately came out of

When the party swings up past

the party did and thus succeeded
in having any number of interest

Haynes Much Admired.
Before leaving Washington the
party had been directed to see the
proprietor of a popular millinery
store in Richmond and it was to
this establishment that Tom parked
the Haynes to the admiring gaze of
Richmondites. After making ar

of Richmond the following morning
a hotel was sought where the par

"On to Richmond"

"On to Richmond!
This was the battle cry Of the
Yankees sixty years ago when
they made every effort to seize
the capital Of the Confederacy and
this famous shibboleth repeatedly
ran through the minds of the
Haynes-Herald Pathhnding Party
last Tuesday while speeding on its
fourteenth tour with Virginia's
Capital as the destination,
In those days OF fratricidal

found they had their task set out

at the very close Of the war that
the Union troops unfurled the

Swamp Easily Trsyersed.

Next. the party is taken down
into the Chopawamsic Creek and
through the Chopawamsic Swamp.
This swamp once was held in dread
by the motorist as it was well
nigh impossible but now it can be
traversed easily and the three most
treacherous miles have been con-
creted. At All miles or at Gar
risonville a right turn is made.
Before it is realized Falmouth
is reached and the Haynes, in drift
ing over the long bridge e-entrance
to Fredericksburg proves it can be
throttled down to just about as low
a speed as a car possibly could
and still move
