Here's Sure Way
To Tell Horses
Age on Sight

When you go to trade in that
neutrality-suspicious., on a
new one, here's a good way of
judging mileage as given by the
SENTINEL of 1855:
After the horse is 9 years old,
a wrinkle comes on the eyelid
at the upper corner of the lower
lid, and every year thereafter he
had one more wrinkle for each
year over nine.
IF, for instance, a horse has
three wrinkles, he is II, if four,
he is 10. Add the number of
wrinkles to nine and you will al
ways get it." Moral: wrinkles are
not as easily erased as mileage on
a speedometer. Get a horse!

Two Years of
Slavery for 81
Theft in 1855

A revealing insight into justice
for the coloFed man in the Mary
land of 1858 is found in a sum-
mary of recently passed State
laws as published in the SEN
TINEL of Apr. 2, 1858.
A free Negro found guilty of
a S. theft, was subject to public
sale as a slave for not less than
two nor more than five years.
For breaking into a home or
establishment and stealing an OBJ
ject under the value of 81, a free
Negro could be sold as a slave
for not less. than two years nor
more than five years.
THE object of this act" the
SENTINEL said, 'is in part to
relieve the State penitentiary to
a certain extent of its colored con-
VictS."

Speed Limit: s mph

One of the most unreliable
means of transportation ever in
vented was the packet boat which
for many years daily piled the
C & o Canal from Georgetown to
Point-of-Rocks and back.
AS one writer commented, "In
the early days, when the packet
was drawn by two horses, we
could always get new horses if
they got lame or balky. But lat
er, when steam engines were in
stalled, we couldn't get a new
engine" The boat was often as
much as four hours late.
However for leisurely passen-
gers, the trip was quite pleasant
The boat was divided into three
sections: the saloon, the captains
quarters. and the kitchen. Lunch
for the so riders was served on
folding tables in the saloon.
One passenger recalls a trip
during which a man fell over
board and drowned. His body
was retrieved and completed the
journey wrapped in sheet in
the bow of the boat.
One factor in the packet boats
inefficiency was the 8 mile an
hour speed limit. Any faster
speed would cause waves to wash
the banks and create cave-ins.
The debarkation at Georgetown
was as exciting as the trip down
the canal. One packet rider re-
called in a SENTINEL article,
"A gruff voice would say out of
the darkness, step careful on
this plank while a dim lantern
held aloft in the speakers hand

Marriage Tough
Life from Start,
Old Poem Says

Marriage in 10Th century Mont
gomery County was looked upon
much as it is today. AT least, this
poem of the day would indicate
that Countians then considered a
wedding the beginning of a life Of
toll and misery.
l saw two maids at the kirk, and
both were fair and sweet.
One in her wedding robe, and one
in her winding sheet.
One, on the morrow, woke in
world of sin and pain;
But the other was happier far,
and never woke again.
Written by bachelor. no
doubt!

Route to New Western Lands

timOre and Point-Of-Rocks along
the Potomac. In 1928 the C. &
0. Canal Co. and the B. & O. Rail
road filed counter injunctions.
The courts found in favor of the
canaly'S claim to the route but
thanks to later concessions, today
the trains run close to the canal
in many places.
Actual digging began on July
4, 1928 with President John Quin-
cy Adams turning the first spade
of dirt. With numerous Interrupt
tons in work the canal was COM
pleted from Washington to Cum
berland on Oct. 10, 1850. Final
refinements took another five
months. A total of S11,071 1881
had been spent in % years to
dig a six foot deep canal 1876
miles long.
On the day the full canal open
ed, a virtual armada of flat bot
tom boats came drifting down.
Jenny Lind" &C. B. Fish"
Southampton" "Eliz BETH"
"Ohio," Delaware" and Gree
man Rawdon." Many of the boats
on opening day were loaded with
dignitaries such as General James
M. Coale, John Pickall, William
c. Johnson, William A. Bradley,
George Schley, S. P. Smith (all
directors of the company, ex-
governor Sprigg of Maryland,
Gen. Tench Tilghman, ]. Van
Lear, former Maryland Senator
William D. Merrick, John l.. Skin
ner, and Henry Addison. Speech
es were made and bands played.
But other boats, indicative of flu
ture canal traffic, carried pay
loads of Allegany coal.
AS expected, for the next de-
cades the Chesapeake and Chic
Canal was constantly crowded
with travellers heading West to
seek their fortunes and those for
tunes, in the form of grown aid
manufactured good streaming
East Many hitherto undevelop-
ed areas blossomed forth now,
with a means of shipping out
their products.
But the B. & O., years before
deprived of the best right-of-way,
had the last laugh. Slowly the
railroads were criss-crossing the
land, providing more and cheap
er transportation. Traffic on the
canal diminished. In the first
two decades of this century the
canal bridges hauled more sight
seers than they did coal. Finally
in 1924 the c & o Canal was clos
ed to traffic.
Is the canal today a useless
vestige from a bygone era? No.
