President Lincoln were held in custody. It
was here that the body of John wilkes
Booth was returned. And it was here that
John H. Surratt, Booths chief accomplice,
was brought by ship after his capture in
Egypt two years later. Prior to Booths cap
ture, lame emplOye of the Navy Yard was
mistaken for Booth, and was apprehended
while crossing the Navy Yard Bridge,
Booths suspected route of escape. The man
was held for some time, until he could
establish his identity.
Not all the Yards honorary welcomings
have been festive events. Twice, in 1921 and
1858, it represented the Nation in welcoming
back to American shores unknown United
States servicemen killed in combat.
Quite naturally, the plant has enjoyed
numerous presidential visits, since every
President has been directly concerned with
the Yard. 1t would be virtually impossible
to compile a complete chronology of all
the events of historical significance that
have occurred at the plant, or a list Of all
the VIPs who have been greeted there Born
together, the Nations Capital and the
Naval Weapons Plant have grown up" in
the same neighborhood, and have shared
greatly in the history and tradition of each
other.
Oh, yes, the ghostl Although the Yards
most unusual and elusive visitor" the
ghost of Capt. Thomas Tingey, its first
Commandant, could hardly be termed a
stranger. First reported in 1853, the appari-
ton was thereafter frequently reported
roaming about the Commandments quarters
or skulking through the Yard. On these
visits, Tingey's ghost supposedly wore a
white nightshirt. top hat, and pigtails, and
carried long spyglasS under his arm.
The phantom guest was regularly re-
ported in the Yard until it allegedly fed
the premises with agonized walls on the
night in 1945, when the Washington Navy
Yard became the Naval Gun Factory. What
effect the latest change in name viii have
on the ghost remains to be senior maybe,

First of all, they were required to cover the
S0-yard straight course in 10 seconds All they
had to do was to try and spear the three rings,
oneand-onehalf inches in diameter from the
backs of their galloping horses. The rings
were hung six feet and nine inches high.
There. were three classes in the tourna-
ment: Rockies, Amateurs and Professionals.
Anybody could ride in the Rookie class, but to
enter the Amateur class riders had to have
ridden in the Rookie class even if they hadn't
won. The Professionals, however, could not
compete unless they had won three amateur
tits or had come in second four times.

The Noyes Library in Ken

mess this summer and the pa
irons are particularly happy be-
cause the building is now air
conditioned.
None of the libraries have
permanent air conditioning but
, then none of the libraries have
an endowment fund of their
own. When the Noyes Library
came into the county system it
was legally possible for it to re-
tain its small endowment fund
set up many years ago by Brain
ard T. Warner. Each year the
interest on the fund buys some
little luxury for the pleasant
little library.
Kensington was the only IL
brary to come into the system
with its own building. Since
that time the endowment fund
has made it possible to add the
fireplace, some comfortable
lounge chairs and some furni.
ture for the Children's Corner
giving it a much more honey
atmosphere than most public
buildings.
The circulation of the library
Increases each month. The first
six months of this year it av.
eraged 5000 books a month. This
is even a sharp increase over
two years ago. Taking at ran.
dom a July Monday in 1857 the
distribution was sos. The cor.
responding Monday in 1859 il
was 726.
The Noyes Library now has
listed in its catalogue 1900
books. About half this number
are in at any one time. Oh
course if someone wants a book
not on the shelves it can be req
uisitioned from other sources.

they discovered that the rector
of the church is the Rev. James
Trimble Marshall II, who grew
up in Kensington, his father, the
late James Marshall Trimble

Presbyterian Church here for a
number of years.
The first church at Wye Mills
was built in 1894, The present
church was built on the old
foundations in 1721 and restored
in 1949. The old Wye Oak near
by is one of the Oldest white
oaks in the United States and is
nearly 400 years old. It is con-
sidered by many as one of
Maryland's choicest possessions
and is well worth trip to see.
