Music Lovers Blaze New Trails to Water Gate Concerts
BY Miriam Gutenberg.

On the theory that people will We
ride bicycle or travel in horse-drai
express wagon to hear good music. the
National Symphony Orchestra tonight
launches the most ambitious program in
its history at the Water Gate.
1t works this way:
There's a ban on pleasure driving so
the National Symphony comes up with
Paul Robson.
Bus mileage is cut, special buses to the
Potomac are out so the National Sym
phony announces Lawrence Tibbett.
Travel by canoe, popular method Of
reaching the Water Gate, is regulated
so Alec Templeton, Dorothy Maynor,
Jessica Dragonette, Percy Granger
James Melton and Margaret Speaks are
added to the program
Greatest Concert Stars.
While other orchestras are folding
their tents like the Arabs and laying
away their instruments, the National
Symphony calmly goes ahead with plans
for II concerts highlighted by the most
important names in the concert world
A glance back at former summer pro-
grams under the stars underlines the
daring Of the present gesture. Even
symphony officials barely recognize the
names of some of the soloists of former
years.
Concerts from a barge tied down off
the bank of the Potomac were a novelty
in those days. People came as much to
cool off as to hear the music. Of eight
solosts in the 1885 season, only the
name of Miriam Winslow the dancer.
stands out The 1888 season had seven
soloists, including the Washington
Choral Society. Reino Luoma, pianist
well known to Washington audiences,
and Jan Peerce, the tenor, We're the other
names that year.
And take 1899 Two members of the
orchestra were among the solQists. Then
there were Ossy Renardy, the violinist:
Jesus Maria Sanroma. the pianist, and
again Miriam Winslow and RENO Luoma.
The rest of the II soloists that year

have been entirely devoted to pleasure,
to picnic parties and sports, and at this
period when tournaments were at their
height, crowds frequently went there to
see some particular friend compete for
first honor and perhaps to crown some
Maryland. Virginia or District OF Co
lumbia girl Queen of Love and Beauty
OF one of these early events The Star
says:
Another tournament took place at
Analostan Island yesterday, which at
tracted in great numbers the youth,
beauty and fashion not merely of George
town but the District generally, and the
assemblage would doubtless have been
more numerous but for the lowering
weather, which during the forenoon
threatened rain. But the afternoon was
most auspicious for the occasion, save
the heat was intense. Seventeen gallant
and brave sir knights were announced
to enter the lists, being the same that
appeared on the 10th ultimo, with an
addition Of six competitors.
1.-THE following are the names of the
debutants: Knight of Monaskon, S. S.
Rind: Knight of Collington, j. A. Dodge;
Knight OF Mattapony, w. Wheatley;
Knight Of the Golden Horseshoe, j. N.
Brewer; Knight of Petersburg S. Cooley,
and Knight of Prince George, Thomas
Cropley. The ring used on the occasion
was inches in diameter instead of
as previously. The band Of the 10th
Regular Infantry was present and well
adapted its music to the occasion.
The judges were Esau Pickreil, I.

to the concert. Lines Of parked cars
always streamed way beyond the sta
dium
But even then, YOU don't have to walk.
Two bicycle stands will be ready to do
business near Riverside Stadium. There's
another bicycle stand at the end OF the
regular Fourteenth street line.
AS final gesture to Washington's
auto-less music lovers the National
Capital Parks Office is installing bicycle
racks at the Watergate, which will be
under guard, just to be sure you don't
have to walk back from your bicycle
ride.
And there are always the canoes.
There's war on and bridges must be
protected. Thus, the Coast Guard
regulations. But as long as you carry
some form Of identification and stick
to the course prescribed by the Coast
Guard, you can paddle as usual to the
barge.
Blazing New Trails.
The Capital Transit Co. and symphony
officials believe people will find the new
methods of coming and going to and
from the Watergate preferable to some
of the old methods when they get used
to them.
In the old days, they point out, those
who didn't come in their own auto
mobiles crowded into waiting buses lined
up above the step seats and were packed
in so tightly that they got hot all over
again before they arrived at their desti-
nation.
Now, concert-goers won't dash for the
buses. They'll start strolling toward
the streetcar or the Riverside Stadium
bus, arriving at different times so every
body will get seat.
And those who occupy symphony
seats toward the top of the steps won t
be disturbed by the shifting gears of
arriving and departing buses.
When you look at it that way-as the
symphony officials confidently expect
people will-the importation of the big
gest stars in the concert armament for
the Sunset symphonies isn't such a
gamble after all.
When people really want to hear music,
in other words, they'll probably be will
ing to peddle, paddle or walk for it.

The people OF Georgetown were parti-

MI. Curtis was an honorary member OF
the Falcon Boat Club. perhaps the first
of its kind in Washington, and is said
always to have called its members his
boys and gave them the run of the estate.
He built a wharf for them and erected
a pavilion that they might indulge in
their favorite amusement of dancing. As
result the club gave many large parties
at the picnic grounds. and. according to
an early account, when the proprietor
Of Arlington saw a party arrive he would
bring his fiddle and play for them as long
as they would dance, and though he knew
few tunes yet he would play these over
and over "as long as any one would keep
time to them"
But the Falcons were not the only ones
who shared Mr.. Gusts hospitality In

Little's Farm.
Little's farm or Littles woods was to
the north of Kalorama, and included
two tracts of land of $751; acres in all
which was divided by Columbia road,
early known as Taylor's lane. One tract
contained 232. acres and was called
Mount Pleasant, the other contained
332. acres. In 1928 Christian and Mat
thew Hines purchased these two tracts
from Anna Maria Thornton widow of
DR.. William Thornton, architect of the
original Capitol who died that year, for
$3.50 and later this property was sold
to John Little and it was the section

was once a Well-knoWn picnic grounds,
and greatly in demand Eighteenth street

bisects the eastern part of the old Thorn

Berrys woods will also be recalled by
many, since it was also popular picnic

estate was east of GlenWood Cemetery,
and directly to the south, extending to
Florida avenue, was Gales woods the
country home Of Joseph Gales jr., an
editor of the National Intelligencer, and
which extended to Florida avenue This
tract was once the property of Motley
Young and was named Edgewood by MI
Gales, who owned the property from
about 1873 to 1860. 1t later became the
home Of Kate Chase Sprague. Some
time prior to 1901 the Gales mansion
was destroyed and ST. Vincent's Orphan
age was erected on the site.

Patterson's woods, the site of the mar

very wide one.
Distinguished Visitors.
Barlow was a distinguished diplomat
and poet and was glad of the oppor-
tunity to purchase Kalorama, where he
could entertain, which his means per-
mitted him to do, and it was while liv-
ing here that he wrote his famous poem
'The Columbiad." After taking pos
session Of the property he made many
improvements, acting upon the advice
of Labete, the architect, and Robert
Fulton, the inventor.
Fulton was for quite while his house
guest and some say it was during this
time that he tried out the model of
the Clermont on Rock Creek nearby. As
a matter Of fact, there is not the slight
est real evidence to prove this state
ment, although it is undoubtedly true
that he did give demonstration in Rock
Creek in 1909, before members of Con-
gress, of his inventions of harpooning
and torpedo attacks.
During Barlow's ownership, President
Jefferson was a frequent guest, as was
afterWard President Madison. Noah
Webster, one of his schoolmates, also
came to visit him here, and in 1924
when Gen. Lafayette visited Washing
ton he participated in its hospitality.
In 1911 Barlow was sent as Minister
to France in the hope Of preserving
peace, our country then being appar-
emily on the verge Of war with that
country, and the premises were leased
to M. Serurier, the French Minister.
After nine months of diplomacy he
was invited by Napoleon, then absent
from Paris on his Russian campaign,
to meet him at Wilma, Polapd, where
the treaty would be signed. Barlow

allowed to pay any rent for the privilege
of the grounds or the buildings. The
first party that arrived and got possession
for the day was protected in the exclusive
use of the buildings for such time az
they required them. So great was the
respect that the people felt for the very
liberal, venerable owner of tn grounds
added to their own self-respect, that
never heard of any violent contention
between parties for these privileges,
These were the most attractive picnic
grounds in the vicinity of our city and
were in constant demand during the sum-
mer season. There was a wharf Extend
ing out into the river for the convenient
landing of passengers from excursion
boats.
Persons who came and found the
pavilion occupied by dancers of an
other party would orderly pass to some
other part of the grounds and enjoy
their refreshments without attempting
to intrude among the ladies and gentle
men whom they found there dancing.
There were always an unlimited number
of Negro slaves of Mr.. Gusts in waiting,
ready to give any attention that the
visitors required, for which services they
appeared willing to accept whatever COM
pensation might be rendered them. Mr..
Gusts used to say he would rather his
Negroes be polite than profitable. He
used frequently to come down to the
spring and mingle with the parties there
assembled and appear to take great de.
light in their pleasures and enjoyment

Barlow was not quick enough and the
property was bought in by Col Will
liam Augustine Washington, nephew Of
the first President, and who remodeled
the mansion and made additions which
added to its utility and attractiveness.
However, Col. Washington was not so
taken with the place that he felt obliged

On this his name was chiseled, but
since even stone will wear out, this in
scription also finally vanished under
the tread of many feet.
Although Gustavus Scott was thrifty
he was not particularly fortunate
in his investments, as we might we'll
judge from a letter dated May 3, 1902.
and written by Thomas Jefferson, and
addressed to Joel Barlow, then residing
in Paris. The letter in part reads:

You can stroll the rest of the way to

be shutting back and forth before and
after the concerts-will be loaded with
