and one Of the best examples OF late

From Pohick Church you would go
to Fredericksburg, where Kenmore is
located. The story Of Kenmore has
been told so often that we need not re-
peat 1t here.
Near Fredericksburg is. Chatham,
which was butt in i72s by william
Fitzhugh from plans, according to
tradition, which were brought from
England. The rose garden here was es-
pecialiy famous, and as many as 1000
varieties are said to have fourished.
The site of the old garden, which was
terraced to the river, is supposed TO
have been the spot where the courtship
Of Gen. Lee eliminated, for under the
shade of an old elm tree, overlooking
the Rappahannock, Mary Gusts prom
ised to be his wife. There is an old story
that Lee refused to allow his troops to
fire on Chatham while 1t was occupied by
Union troops, SO through his love for
the place of so many happy memories
1t was saved.
Located on the Tidewater Trail, east
Of Fredericksburg, is Wakefield, where
George Washington was born. The
house and gardens have been destroyed,
but the Wakefield Memorial Associa-
ton is undertaking the restoration OF
them.
Just beyond Wakefield is Stratford,
where Gen. Robert e. Lee was born.
The property has recently been bought,
and the house is to be restored, as well
as the garden, by the Stratford Memo

mately two acres. Its real glory is the
"box- walk" an avenue of lockwood trees
varying from 80 to 40 feet in height,
extending distance Of 800 feet in a
double line from the entrance gate and
forming a perfect arch above the Is
foot walkway. To the right of the en-
trance gate Is broad walk 100 feet In
length, hanked on each side by lines Of
Suffruticosa box, beyond which extend
on each side formal flower beds edged
with dwarf box. Here are some of the
original roses brought by Anne Carter
from Shirley In 1920. To the left ex-
tends small maze OF box, with beds
Of lily Of the valley and hardy begonia,
at the feet Of tall magnolia trees.
To the left of the entrance gate we
find gravel walk $40 feet long, the
first 100 feet being thanked with rose
beds edged with dwarf box. Beyond
this are many rustic arches covered
with climbing roses. Along other walks
In the garden one finds peonieS, phlox
and iris, while scattered here and there
are the tall crepe myrtles, calycanthus
and pyrlS- japonica bushes, as well as
syringas, jonquiis and periwinkle.
No account of this garden would be
complete without reference to the
escape in 1863 of Gen. Lees youngest
son, Robert, during raid of the North
ern troops, which is graphically de-
scribed In Rob Lees "Recollections and
Letters of Gen. r. e. Lee," In which ne
states "a clump of box trees afforded
a safe place for concealment."
Coming back to Richmond, go to
Reveille, on the Cary Street road. This
is one Of the oldest houses In the vicin-
ity Of Richmond. and here you would
see one Of the most charming of gar
der1s. According to tradition 1t got its
military name during the Revolution.

lies below the formal garden, cut UP into
81 beds, with grass plots In between.
These paths are so narrow that only
ore person can walk there at a time,
and they are separated from the flower
beds by dwarf box hedging. This gar
den of many beds Is known as the
maze, and covers about an acre. Only
tall flowers like phlox, hollyhocks and
larkspur can lift their heads high
enough to show to advantage, as the
hedges Of box average from two to four
feet In height. It is figured that there
is probably more of the old-faShioned
dwarf box at Tuckahoe than anywhere
else in America. If lined of, by actual
measurement 1t would extend more
than one and half miles. Here one also
finds roses. tulips. cornflowers, sweet

Of Colonial cavalier, with courtly man
ners, dressed n brilliant coats, flowing
ruffies and satin small clothes, wearing
silver bucklers and using ieweled snuff
boxes. He was the founder of the
City of Richmond and left his mark
writ large in the history of the State.
It is interesting to imagine William
Byrd and his companions, who repre-
sented the English nobility transplanted
to America, as they strolled down the
graveled walks two centuries ago,
dressed in the fashion of the day, ad-
dressing the beauties who, with pow
dered hair, fans and patches, in gowns
OF lowered silk, walked with them here
when the garden was young. These
same graveled walks in their early days
must have known, too, the soft tread OF
the moccasined Indians, stern of face
and cultural of tongue, for Byrd was
pioneer as well as gentleman.
In the garden are many Towering
shrubs, quaint sweet williams, forget
me-nots, iris, Glove pinks, peonies, holly
hooks and everywhere roses. But the
most outstanding flowers are the count
less punches Of old-fashioned primroses,
yellow and red, commonly called cow
slips. Also in the garden, amid the
scenes which he loved most dearly, Is

From Westover go to Williamsburg,
which was originally known as the Mid
die Plantation. The Colonial Govern
ment was moved from jamestown to
Williamsburg in 100, and at this date
the name OF the plantation was changed
to Williamsburg in honor of William OF
Orange. Here we find william and Mary
College, founded in 1893; Bruton Parish
Church, built in 1875, and in continuous
use ever since, and many other historic
cal places. The restoration of historical
Williamsburg is being done through the
interest and financial aid Of Mr.. John
d. Rockefeller, jr. So much has been
written about Williamsburg recently
that all are familiar with the things OF
interest to be seen.
MINE miles from Williamsburg is
yorktown, which was begun in
1881, and made famous when Cornwall
lis surrendered to the Continental troops
in 1881. Three-quarters Of mile out
OF town is the Moore house, where the
terms of surrender were drawn up and
signed. This house is being restored
and it Is well worth seeing.
In Yorktown proper Is the Nelson
house, built in l740, with its walled
garden Of lockwood and crepe myrtle.
When CORVALLIS took Yorktown. ne
selected the Nelson house as his head
quarters. At the request Of the owner,
the Continental troops under Gen.
La Fayette fred upon the Nelson house,

Secretary Stimson today announced
that Count and Countess Karolyi have

cation made through the American
consulate in Paris.
The departments decision Is a COM

by former Secretary Kellogg during the
Coolidge administration.

cialist Hungarian government, and who
is opposed to the regime of Admiral
Horthy, the present regent of Hun
gary, was barred by former Secretary
Kellogg
While the reason for Karolyis ex-
clusion was not made public by the
state Department, it was understood to
be due to the Hungarian's radical views
Charles Evans Hughes, while Secre-
tary OF State, admitted Count Karolyj
to the United States in 1925 so he
could be at the bedside of his wife, who
then was Ill here. At that time, SEN

former Secretary Hughes for informa-
tion regarding the circumstances sur
rounding Karolyi's admission to the
United tSateS. Hughes replied to the
erect that the admission was for the
sole purpose of temporary visit to the

illness and on the understanding that

RESCUE STUDENT
One of Boys Shot as Party
Is Attacked at Gas Station
Near Lynchburg.

BY the Associated Press.
LYNCHBURG, Va, october 2S.--
Three Washington and Lee University
students and their college girl compan-
ions narrowly escaped death under a
fusillade from a shotgun and two re-
volvers when they stopped at a filling
station on the outskirts of the city last
night.
Gus Wiltshire was felled and beaten
by Garland Falwel, accompanied by
Lloyd Goff, according to police, who
charged Falwell with feloniously shoot
ing the student. Wiltshire was picked
up by his girl companions, who started
the car and race toward town with
the victim.
The shooter, after raining a volley
upon the fleeing boys, followed the road
ster driven by the girls and fired upon
them, police said.
Officers who arrested Falwell quoted
him as saying, "The girl driving that
automobile was the best I have ever
seen. or it might have been different"
Police say he gave no motive for the
attack.
Hospital authorities said they thought
WiltShire's wounds about the head and
neck were not of fatal nature. Fal-
well was released under SIS 900 bond.

STOCKS SUPPORTED
AGAIN BY BANKERS
Market Shows Signs of Rally
ing in Early Afternoon.
Selling Heavy.
BY STANLEY w. PRENosIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, October 28.-Strong
banking support was rushed to the aid
Of the stock market again today after
another gigantic selling movement had
carried prices of leading issues down
SIS to nearly $45 a share.
The decline, which started from the
opening of the market and gained mo-
mentum as the session progressed, was
checked in the early afternoon, after
many of the active shares had broken
below the low levels established in last
Thursdays record-breaking session, and
the ticker had fallen more than an
hour behind the market. Total sales
reached 5,547, 300 shares at 1870 pm,
with indication that the days total
would run between 100000 and
100000 shares.
Bears" Have Field Day.
Many traders, large and small, who
held on last week IN the expectation
that bankers would support the mar
ket until it had become stabilized, were
forced to throw their holdings over
board because of their inability to sup
ply additional margin to protect their
rapidly dwindling accounts. Bear"
traders, sensing the markets weakness,
priced stocks, which dropped 81 to
nearly $5 share between sales.
There were no signs of organized sup.
port apparent up until early afternoon
when the lowest prices of the day were
being recorded. Similar breaks took
place on the New York curb market
and in the other leading security ex-
changes of the country.
The support late last week, attributed
to conferences of leading bankers at the
Offices of j. P. Morgan & Co., was COM
pletely lacking during the morning, but
important banking executives once more
began to gather at the house of Morgan
early in the afternoon, Charles E
Mitchell, chairman of the National City
Bank, making his appearance soon after
o'clock.
Shortly after Mr.. Mitchell arrived al
the Morgan Offices, Thomas w. Lamont
senior partner, received newspaper
men, but said he had no statement u
make.
Banking Support Appears.
Strong buying support developed
shortly after / PM. United states Stee
common, which had sold down to $l9s
share, was $198 bid at 10 O'CLOCK
and Radio, which had sold down tt
$47.75, was $51 a share bid. Similal
recoveries took place in other leading
issues, bpt quotations were still undel
last weeks final figures.
George Whitney, a partner OF j. +
Morgan g. Co., was reported from the
stock exchange floor as a buyer o
stocks, tending to confirm reports thai
banking support was again being
provided.
