On Saturday morning, the 9th-of February, 1819, at eight o'clock, the parties met. The contemplated meeting. it is said, was generally known at Bladensburg, and many of the citi- zens accompanied or followed them to the round to witness the encounter. It was snow- ing violently at the time. ie ground selected for the combat was not the usual path near the road, but another and similar path just around the point of the hill onthe right, about two hundred yards from the bridge. Mason had on at the time a lar, BLADENSBURG DUELING GROUND.
