The hotel was surrounded with
beautiful grounds, and our family
occasionally drove over for a pic
mic, taking our lunch, and going
over to the hotel later for drink
OF lemonade and glimpse Of "high
society,"" One of the treasures of
our childhood was a set of stereop-
ticon views of the bridge, which
was then the largest stone arch
bridge in the world, and at that
time unsurpassed in the history
of bridge building. Here is a de-
scription of the bridge written in
1898:
"Cabin John bridge is built of
granite with a Seneca stone cop
ing. In length it measures $50 feet;
in height, 105 feet. The arch has
clear spring of 220 feet and is
twenty feet longer than the arch
Of the Grosvenor bridge which
spans the River Dee. The bridge
is built on the line Of the conduit
road which extends from Washing
ton to the Great Falls of the
Potomac, and was built by the
government. Water was turned in
to the conduit December S, 1868
but the bridge itself was not COM
pleted until 1854. The parapet
walls were not built until 1928,
prior to that time there was only
a log guard rail. The engineer in
charge of the work was Capt.
Montgomery C. Meigs, U. s. Corps
of Engineers"
There is an echo of the War Be-
tween The States in an inscription
on a tablet on the bridge which
reads: Washington Aqueduct. Be-
gun AID. 1853. President of the
United States, Franklin Pierce.

the tablet was first put up the

MONTGOMERY STDELIGHTS
By ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

The Cabin. John vicinity has
figured so widely in the news re-
Gently that we thought perhaps a
repetition of the traditional story
of the origin of the name of Cabin
John--or some say, Cap'n John
given first to the creek and later
to the bridge and hotel might be
of timely interest.
Cabin John, from whom the
bridge and neighborhood take their
name, was a picturesque character
of early days. Little is know of
him. He had no name other than
that of "Cabin John" by which he
was known to others. In his rude
cabin home he had no companions
save fierce dogs. He passed his
time in hunting and fishing, and
clothed himself almost entirely
from the skins Of wild animals, and
his principal food was their flesh.
According to tradition, while his
life was wild and lonely, Cabin
John was a cheerful and kindly
soul and it was one of the mysteries
Of the age what became of him. AS
suddenly as he had appeared at
his lonely home, he one day disap-
peared, mo one knew whittier" His
dogs deserted their rocky kennel in
the mountain side, his cabin crumb-
led and fell, and the only thing left
to recall his memory was the creek
that bore his name. During the
years of slavery superstitious
negroes claimed they often saw the
ghost of the lonely man "ha'ant-
ing" the neighborhood of his des-
erted cabin.
The 1926 the following verses
were found under the grain-bin in
an old mill on the Cabin Creek.
John of the cabin-a curious wight,
Sprang out of the river one stormy
night;
He built a warm hut in lonely
retreat,
And lived many years on fishes
and meat.
when the last raccoon on the
creek he mad slain,
1t is said he jumped into the river
again,
AS no name to the creek by the
ancients was given
1t was called Cabin John after
John went to Heaven"
Fifty years ago Cabin John
Bridge Hotel was conducted by the
Bobinger Bros. 1t had recently
been rebuilt to twice its former
size and according to an advertise
ment of the times Contained a
number of dining rooms for par
ties, broad verandas affording
beautiful outlook, a pavilion where
every evening a fine orchestra
furnishes music" 1t had been made
a League hotel and special atten-
ton was paid cyclists. Among the
patrons who rode over from Wash
ington were celebrated members of
congress, statesmen and diplomats.
AS child we remember seeing
