The next morning they crossed the Po-
tomac below Hancock, spent the night
at Berkeley Springs and then went to
Old Town. On October 16 they set
out for Cumberland, where they were
met by a party of horsemen under the
command of Major Lewis, a nephew
of Washington, and by Brigadier-Gen-
eral Smith, who escorted them to the
camp. From there they were escorted
to the residence of Major David Lynn,
an old Colonial officer, whose hospi-

After inspecting the troops at Cum

Julia Won H. Kalkman, and recorded
by the Frederick County Historical
Society, that the President visited the
glass factory in the Urbana district
and spent the night at the Amelung
mansion, Mountevina. No documen-
tary evidence of this exists, but pos
sible explanation is found in circum-
stance pointed out by ]. Alexis Shriv-
er in his article lin the January 10
Magazine) on Washington's Maryland
trail. For Washington gave his dia-
ries, notebooks and ledgers to his
nephew, Bushrod Washington, who
had an unfortunate habit of present
ing parts of the priceless papers to
his relatives and friends as souvenirs.
Through this circumstance the diary
from February to September 80 of
the year 1889 is missing, and the fact
that there has been found in Wash
ington's own script no record of this
visit to Mountevina may be thus ex-
planned.
In her article Miss Kalkman writes
that her uncle gave the President
princely reception, band of must
clans being in the delegation which
went part of the way to meet him. At
night there was banquet and ball,

On nearing Frederick the President,
according to Scharf, was met by a
company of horsemen composed of the
prominent citizens of the county and
headed by Major Mounjoy Bayley,
chief marshal, who conducted the dis
tinguished visitor through the town to
a tavern, the name of which Washing
ton does not mention.
But here we encounter a tradition
so dear to Frederick hearts that it
must be here recorded, but with the
painful admission that Washington's
diary neglects to mention it: Any
way, the tale runs that across the
street from Kimball's Tavern lived an
attractive, dark-haired girl named
Barbara Hauer, afterward Immortality
known as Barbara Fritchie. She, any
devoted Fredericktonian will declare,
assisted Mrs. Kimball in entertaining
the President by pouring coffee for
him out of blue Staffordshire coffee
pot that is now proudly displayed in
Frederick. Evidently the charming
Barbara's personality was as vivid in
those days as when, seventy-odd years
later (and again in a manner which
most regretfully is supported by ira

Holland Williams, Washington left
the next morning for home.
1t was as President that Washing
ton, on June 80, 1871, visited Freder-
lex on his way from Mount Vernon
to Philadelphia, which at that time
was the capital of the country, New
York having just been abandoned as
the capital and Washington not yet
being ready. In his diary of this date
the first President explains that, as he
wished to see the country north of
Georgetown along the upper road, he
decided to pass through Frederick
town in Maryland and, accordingly,
breakfasted at small village called
Williamsburgh (now Rockville), dined
at Peters Tavern, twenty miles fur
Their, and arrived at Frederick about
shutdown, the entire distance being
about forty-three miles. He describes
the road along which he passed as be-
ing rather hilly, but states that the
land was good and well-timbered, es-
pecially from the Monocacy to Freder-
lex, where for four miles the soil was
very rich and fine, the country more
thickly settled and the farmhouses of
a better grade than he had expected
to find.

illuminated by a display of fireworks.
After dinner the next day President
Washington departed for Mount Ver-
non in the Amelung coach, in which
he was escorted by his host the great
er part of the trip. The upper door
sections of this coach, the original
panels and glass through which the
distinguished passenger must have
looked, were given to Miss M. Louise
johnson while on a visit to Mounte-
vina and are used as picture frames to
decorate her dining room.

In 1870 the President visited Hag-
erstown, then known as Elizabeth
town. AS his personal records of this
trip are among the souvenirs, we are
indebted to the historian Scharf for
the details.
On October 20 the distinguished Wis
itor was met three miles from town
by Capt. Rein Davis, of the Light
Horse, and many prominent citizens,
who escorted him through the street,
since named in his honor, to Baltz-
mowers Taven, where an elaborate
supper was served. After spending

Spangled Banner.
Washington was a fine judge of
good land. Before it was divided,
Frederick county was the largest
wheat-growing county in the United
States and its grain crop of 1871 was
far-famed. In addition to be impress
ed by this wonderful fertility of the
land, the President had been charmed
by the beauty of it's scenery, and it is
asserted by Scharf that in a letter to
Sir John Sinclair, President Washing
ton declared that Frederick county is
the Garden Spot of the United
States"
On October ID of this year the Pres
ident visited Williamsport, where he
was received with enthusiastic demon
strations. This thriving town, like
many another whose ambitions flour
