We were glad to see, on Saturday night, en-
phatic evidence OF the support that the people Of
Washington are extending to the terpsIchorean
efforts Of Prof. Sheldon. But the question is nat
Urally suggested, upon reading the imprint Of a
PhiladeIphfa lob printing Office on his programme
Of Saturday nights ENTERTAINMENT why the pro.
iessOr did not manifest the same appreciation for
the business Of Washington that IS so emphau-
cally manifested towards him. Such work can be
done in this city as we'll as at Philadelphia.
The Washington and Georgetown Street Rail-
road Company will again be required to change
the tracks recently laid around the extension Of
the Capitol grounds. II has been decided TO in
cluded in the western grounds the two triangular
shaped pieces Of ground bounded by First street
west and B street north and south, and the crcu-
lar roadway running up the hill, making the
western grounds like the eastern square. This
will require the railroad to run its track along
First street as far as b street north and south,
and the ascent OF street north is steep, II is
probable the company will obtain permission to
continue up First street to Indiana avenue, and
thence to the depot, and abandon the present
route OF that branch Of the road, thus saving the
extra "hill-bOrse" at this point.
