The outdoors came indoors at
the National Guard Armory yes
terday as thousands viewed the
opening of Washington's Second
Annual Sportsmen's and Outdoors
Show. produced by the League OF
Maryland Sportsmen.
Exhibits containing all manner
of sporting and recreational equip
ment and a fast-moving tank
and stage show held the audience
from ! until II pm. Many spec
tators arrived early and stayed
late to absorb the multitude of
displays and to watch the anima-
ton which embraced living fish
and animals and show folk pecu-
liar to this type of entertainment.
The hit of the show once again
proved to be Rosie" the famous
acting bear. and her pals, Min and
Bill, in the wind-up number OF
the program. The tank and stage
presentation is scheduled twice
daily, at 2::30 and $3.50 and con-
sumes an hour and fifteen min
uteS.
Rosie, Min and Bill delighted
both young and old with such
stunts as tight wire walking. to-
boggan sliding, roller skating and
singing, under the direction of
Stanley Beebe. The trainer and
Rosie brought down the house
with a vocal duet which bore
some resemblance to Sweet Ade-
line"
Six pretty mermaids known as
"Dorotheas Water Ballet" made
their debut in the evening per-
formance, presenting intricate and
graceful precision swimming in the
35-by-70-foot tank. Also in the
water, but much against his will,
was George DeLong who took a
dousing in the canoe fitting act
from Red Farnham. The Stauber
brothers, Joe and Charlie, showed
how easy it is to stay on log.
They played leap frog and roller
skated as the log twisted and spun
Clarence Hauwiller's six retriev-

a demonstration of obedience,
swiftly reacting to commands and
fishing live ducks gently out of

the show from them by a crash
dive which carried it quickly and
safely under the pack as the re-
trievers converged for the kill"

what transformation they would

them obliterated. All about them

tions; no longer the old familiar

are repaired; up and down the street

to men of their period useless nuis-
ances; with the fall of night, our
visitors from previous age would
find the streets as light as day,
thanks to peculiar Lamp" which
requires neither fluid nor match to
light them; they would be surprised
to find in the streets, instead of mud,
filth, and debris, streets 'fioor-like'
and concrete pavements.
"They would be surprised to know
that Washington, Baltimore, and
Philadelphia are now as accessible
as Boonsboro and Hancock were in
their generation"
Some interesting early ordinances
of this town are recorded, the fol-
lowing passed at the second meeting
of the Council, in 1924:
Prohibiting chicken-fighting--fine
81 for each fight
Prohibiting the firing of a muskct,
rifle or pistol within the corporate
limits-fine SOC each time.
Riding upon the pavement-fiue 81.
Blocking the pavement and not re-
moving the offending material with
in "a hours-fine SOC and 81 each
"a hours thereafter.
At this same meeting provisions
were made for the construction of
Jail, a building ''for the purpose of
combining disorderly persons" The
building was to be 8 feet square, one
floor, sealed above, and Jacob Wolfe
was to receive the sum of fifty (5O)
dollars to build it. This included
the cost of the materials.
One more very interesting state
ment was made at this date, which
has been summed up as follows:
''Williamsport was the Metropolis
of Washington County in those
earliest days. Hagerstown, which
was settled after Williamsport, was
simply the county seat, Williamsport
being the Business town of the sec
ton"
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-06-09

the name of our Capital city too.
The deed mentioned above was
dated March rs, 1875. Deeds of 1886
show the name as Williams Port;
then an Act of the General Assem-
bly, of Maryland, in 1876, dropped
the apostrophe, and officially named
the town Williams Port Thirty
seven years later, in 1923, the town
was incorporated, and this time the
General Assembly wrote the name
as we know it, "Williamsport."
Now here is something that is
particularly interesting to me: the
name Potomac" an Indian name
of course and one that has been
spelled in our English several ways,
according to the records of the Will
Transport Chamber of Commerce,
means Among The Black Walnuts. +"
l have often wondered what some
of the familiar Indian names meant,
especially of this one and the other
stream at Williamsport. l think this
name is beautiful for a river such
as the Potomac, and indeed | have
seen many Black Walnut trees along
it's bank.
And the other stream, the creek
that is larger than many rivers both
in size and in name, the Conoco-
cheague, takes its Indian name from
that very fact, for Conococheague
means VERY Long"
In connection with the efforts that
were made to bring the Capital of
the new Nation to this beautiful
area, list of names is interesting,
for it contains many that have been
familiar in this section ever since
TWenty-four men are known to have
leased lots at that time with the
promise to erect substantial struc-
lures on them; to help encourage
and promote the settlement here

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS

Lock Ready"l we might have
heard the cry if we could have Wis
tied Williamsport several decades
ago. And now, after a period of
complete decay, the grand old Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal enjoys a
partial restoration. Over this past
week end several of us saw the part
of the canal, just above Washing
ton, that has been restored; the
locks are in operating condition; the
canal has been cleared out and filled
to its normal level with Potomac"
water, and the tow-path cleared off,
providing nice walk, for those who
like an outdoor hike, for miles and
miles along the beautiful and his
toric canal and river. Along this
section, near the Great Falls of the
Potomac, the canal is bordered by
beautiful growth of trees and bushes,
some places forming almost will
derneSs, and one can easily imagine
that the scene is just about like the
ones the old timer canal people were
accustomed to seeing daily.
Looking at the huge stones in the
masonry Of the locks and under
passes, one can get a faint idea of
the size of the task of construction.
and when you realize that there
were no power machines, it seems
almost impossible. And the size of
the gates in the locks makes you
think that it must have taken
wrestling champ to open them. But
they are remarkably constructed, so
that they can be swung on their
huge hinges quite easily. 1t is to
me almost like visiting the past to
take hold on the beam of one of
these old lock gates and swing it
open, just as it was swung for many,
many years, at the approach of a
coal-laden, mule-drawn barge.
1t is too bad that we cannot 60
up the canal to Williamsport since
it is badly wrecked in many places
between these two spots, but we can
follow it many places by auto. Once
at Williamsport, we find evidence
of the influence of the early canal,
just as we find it all along the Old
Potomac. Here, we find on record a
statement that this small town was
at one time called the First town
on the Potowmack." AS pointed out
last week, Williamsport was one of
the very first towns to be settled in
this County, early in the zoos.
inst as we found a number of the
other places in the County, so Will
Transport was known by several
names, and went through a number
of variations before it settled down
to the name we know. One of the
oldest deeds on record there refers
to property as being located in
washington" So, as I have told be-
fore about the one time hopes of
this the New Nations Capt.
tai, we see now that it almost took
