Washington wae a renowned fox hunter. Mrs. Washington s grandson left in an old magazine a vif'id picture of the "Colonel," as he named him, In hunting garb. A blue coat, bright red waistcoat, buckskin knee breeches and a closely fitting black velvet cap that was Washington as a fox hunter. His favorite horse for the sport was a dark dapple gray called Blueskin. Custis wrote that no horse could dis mount Washington, so long and strong were ids legs, says Uirard. Carrying that fine figure, six feet two, and then weighing 190 pounds, was no easy job for Blueskin, yet he did it a couple of times a week and occasionally as far as 30 miles in a day. At Mount Vernon was a black fox routed out frequently and chased for leagues, but never caught, said Mr. Custis. "How often do they catch a fox?" I asked J. Charles MurtagU, for whom the back of a fleet horse has the cush ions of a limousine beaten ten lengths at the first quarter. "Never, or at least rarely," siild he, "unless they cheat the fox. Caged too long, or set down in a strange coun try, he may lose his brush. Given a fair show a fox will outwit almost any pack of hounds and the best hunters." Uf course, there are hounds and then again Just heunus. Those fine packs of English bounds kept by Charles T. Mathers and i'lun kett Stewart can run the legs oil any thoroughbreds. But the S. P. C. A. would pounce upon sportsmen today who should Indulge in the cruelties practiced a hundred years ago by horsemen and hunters. On the 1'hlladelphla race track heats of four miles were run and repeated. To decide whether the tiorse could outdo the hounds a race was arranged. Sixty thoroughbreds started with a small pack of hounds over a given course. The hounds won, only 12 horses fin ished and one of them, a valuable racer, was thereafter stone blind from overexertion. Famous Selvln ran the four-mile course In Philadelphia in four seconds under eight minutes. Part of the time he was going well over 40 feet a sec ond. And according to one who saw the race, "the mud was knee deep." Record was made of a horse driven to a light vehicle 12 miles in about 82 minutes. Philadelphia Inquirer. Ocean Keeps Tragic Secret. Disappearing In the Broadway of the Atlantic ocean, extending from the eastern end of the Panama canal toward New York city, the 7,000-ton oil tanker Swiftstar added to mari time history another Incident of mys tery. Loaded wth 77,000 barrels of oil mid manned by a crew of 28 officers and men, it recently left Los Angeles bound for a Massachusetts port. It was last heard from when entering the sea lane along the east coast, hut no vessel sighted It there, and no word came from Its wireless. In those same waters the collier Cyclops van ished some time ago as completely as If a giant monster of the deep had stretched forth a huge hand and pulled the craft beneath the water. Evidence that dlsuster befell the Swiftstar was found by a schooner captain after several electric storms. The sea all about was littered with splintered wood, a floating chest yielded the charred, unidentified body of a man, nud for miles the surface was covered with a heavy film of oil Populur Mechanics Magazine. Sabbath-Observing Clock. Among the wedding presents re ceived by the duke and duchess of York, when they were married In Eng land a few months since, was a clock made in 1804. It was built In the hope that George III would purchase it, and is nearly five feet Ugh. Besides show.
