IN THE SUMMER, the

fastened to a stick to keep
the flies on. Sometimes he
would let one Of the boys

cautiously, because they
knew that a horse could

from the leather-aproned
lap Of the blacksmith,
despite his strong arms.

The horse fell on me and
broke my hip. Since then I
have been doing general iron
work. I have all ! can do.
Seven men used to work
here. In 1910, we shod 225
horses in one day. My father
began here as an apprentice
to William Brady, grand
father Of DR.. Chester Brady,
who started this shop in
the 187Os. This is the last
practical horseshoeing shop
in Washington, and we
haven't shod a horse in three

Foremost in memory is

by the red hot shoe and our
initial wonderment that it
did not hurt the horse.
The scale from the pink

The
Rambler
Begins a Quest
For BIucksmiths
By GEORGE KENNEDY

This column Is read by q
great many fans Of antiq-
uityrecent antiquity.
Some ask are there any gas
street lights left in Washing
ton.
The gas company's answer
is that there are q few IN
Montrose Park which are
turned on and off BY cleo
tricity.
Evidently once Leerie is
eliminated Che was Robert
Louis Stevenson's lamplight-
er) the municipality can at
ford these antiques.
Others want to know how
many horse troughs are left.
The Rambler doesn't know.
A reader asked how many
horseshoers are left,
That ought to be easy.
The Rambler turned to the
Yellow Pages. There were
seven listings under ssBlack-
smiths" but none mentioned
horseshoeing.
SO he called the Park
Police. They have horses,
and someone must shoe
them.
He learned there is a
blacksmith named Harry
Burton at Twenty-sixth and
D streets NV, at the Edge
water Riding Club. who
shoes riding academy horses.
The police horses are Shoed
at the Meadowbrook Saddle
Club on East-West high
way near Beach drive by a
Negro blacksmith named Ed
Strother.
The Rambler took q cab
to see Mr.. Burton's estab-
lishlnent and was q little
disappointed. For one thing,
Mr. Burton was not there.
For another, the SHOP" was
in the open, merely an anvil
and forge in a corner Of the
stable yard.
He learned that about 200
horses are ridden in the
bride paths Of Rock Greek
park; there were 40, horses
for hire and boarders, at
this one stable.
