It is iiilinmted that the Presick-nt of tlie I'liited States 

 iiKiN- be induced to come for a few days, as four years ago 

 he plied liis rod on tlie banks of the lieadwalers of the 

 turlndent janies river, about thirt\- miles from liere, at 

 Clifton Forge. \'eril\- the old Anglo-Saxon love of sport 

 is engrafted in us all to a greater or less extent, else why 

 should it be that the shibboleth of l)lack bass should 

 be more ])otent in drawing people from a distance than 

 the charm of polite and cultured society, the beneficial 

 properties of the famous waters of the White Sulphur, 

 or e\eu the cuisine of the great hotel and the considerate 

 attention of the Chevalier Ba\ar(l oi' hotel men — "The 

 Major." But so it is, and I for one woidd not want to 

 change it. Lei .Vnierican business men devote more time 

 to outdoor sport, spend more- of it in the ()]ien air and the 

 knowledge will soon begin to dawn ujion them that dol- 

 lars are not the onl>- good things in this life, and as it can 

 be lived only once, it is better during that "once" to hoUl 

 on to a share of gootl health, e\en though they may drop 

 a few dollars in doing it.
