THE COMMISSIONERS IN FAVOR or THE PENDING BILL
The Commissioners have written to Chairman
Hemphir In relation 10 the bill ito authorize the
Commissioners to condemn land on Rock Creek for
the purposes Of park" &C, as follows: "1n the
Judgment OF the Commissioners IL Is hardly posi-
bic 10 formulate another project that would De In
every respect so advantageous and advisable as
the one under consideration The valley of Rock
Creek, while nearly worthless for occupation or
settlement, is extremely picturesque and possessed
of numerous and varied natural advantages, and
It's conversion 10 public uses will secure To the
capital park and drives overC miles In length
and OF unrivaled beauty. Under the provisions OF
the bill as drawn park 1000 feet In width from
Lyons mill, on Rock Creek 10 the boundary OF the
District Is secured. The quantity OF land embraced
IN this tract Is 919 acres, and its valuation upon
The assessors books, with the Improvements
thereon, Is 500, $40. No uniform width need be
adhered to- Where the banks are steep only such
acreage would be required would suffice 10 con-
troll the crest and slopes and provide for the con-
struction OF suitable drives Where the eleva-
lions lie more remote from the banks OF the stream
greater width would be requisite. IL Is probable,
on the whole that a considerably less acreage
than that before mentioned would be necessary,
while, on the ther hand the assessments for con-
demnation might In some cases considerably ex-
coed the valuations as derived from the books Of
the District assessor. The bill appears 10 meet the
requirements Of the case, and the Commissioners
nave no amendments thereto 10 suggest"

A BRILLIANT OPENING.
The Wheeling Club Formally Opened
Last Evening.

The Wheeling Club Formally Opened
Last Evening.
The formal opening of the Wheeling
Club occurred, last evening, in the shape
OF full dress hop, and it was brilliant
success in every respect. The elegant
apartments of the club in the handsome
new Rogers Block on Main street, were
ablaze with light, and the beauty and
ehivalry Of the town had assembled 10 en-
Joy the occasion to the utmost
The guests began arriving ss early as
$50, and the commOdiOus ball room was
soon a scene of animation, rs fair ladies and
their escorts swept gracefully over the
waxed floor to the strains of waltz or
polka rendered in the Opera House or
chestra's grandest style. As the guests
arrived they we're received by the mem
bers OF the Executive Committee, assisted
by members Of the club and their lady
friends.
Those who visited the club rooms for the
first time, last evening, were prOfuse IN
their expressions OF admiration OF the
handsome style in which the roOms have
been fitted mp, and the convenient and
comfortable manner in which everything
has been arranged, some time being spent
in inspection.
After the reception of the guests, those
who desired spent their time i'll the ball
room, while others occupied the card
table,, scattered throughout the reception
room, and pleasantly wbilcd away the
time in conversation and whatever
game best suited their fancy. The
presence of many married folks was
noticeable, and this is an indication that
they have taken as much interest in the
success OF the club rs the young unmar-
ried members OF society. Ii may be stated
here that the ladies were especially well
pleased with the roomy apartment set
aside for their use, and they were lavish
in their praise of it's furnishings and COM
forts. as they could hardly feel more st
ease in their own homes.
The orchestra never played better and
the dance programme was splendid one.
The toilets Of the ladies were very elegant
and the weaIers were all looking their
loveliest, which remark il evidence indis-
putable that nowhere in the country eOuld
more beauty be tonud in proportion TO the
number present. The gentlemen, OF course,
we're attired in their full evening dress,
m q altogether the scene was one that was
pit asing to the eye and mind.
Caterer George burst had arranged
tables in lower room, and at midnight
eupper was announced, and it was such
spread as George knows well how tn pre-
pare. To say it was discussed with the
greatest relish is useless. At the corclu-
sion of the feast dancing was resumed and
continued until , o'clock this morning,
when the assembly dissolved, each and
every member highly delighted with the
suspicious opening of the Wheeling Club,
with anticiostions of other events as en-
ioyable. which anticipstions will not be
upIequited.
Quite n number Of visitors to The city
were present and all were delighted with
the club rooms. The entire attendance was
from rs 10 200, and it was undoubtedly
the largest event OF the kind occurring IN
the city for long time.

spending floor of the old building being
