THE NEW WASHINGTON SCHOOL
A Description OF Que Of the Handsomes
BnIIdImgs In the City.

For number Of years past Wheeling
has boosted of her public school system,
and this Boosting has been justified by
the enyiable reputation the schools have
acquired in educational circles all over
the country. In addition to Boosting Of
the schools the city has in late years
been able to point with pride to several
handsome school buildings, and now
with the completion Of the new Wash
ington school building, the city has a
structure that may well be termed the
model public school building OF the
country, and us such merits general at
tention. 1t is something far ahead OF
anything OF the kind to be found in
many OF the larger cities, and one as per-
iectly safe in making the assertion that
there is nowhere school building that
is more complete, safe and better ar
ranged than this one.
The plan OF its construction is q move
and beautiful one. 1t is original witt
Mr.. Ed. W. Wells, the accomplished
architect, OF this city, and under whose
personal supervision the building ha'
been erected. Mr.. Wells has reason to bt
proud Of his work and merits the many
compliments that have been paid hin

building. Yesterday President Dobbins
of the Board OF Education, and Messrs
Ellingham, Ebeling, Naylor and Mccoy
/ OF the Boards Committee on Building
and Grounds and several other member
and citizens were shown through the
building by Mr.. Wells. Everything wa
found to be Of the best, both materia
and workmanship, and the committed
Unanimously decided to recommend it

The general plan of the building, a
can be seen from the cut printed on thi
page, is that OF a square cross. Thu

With Dull Thud-A Good
Crowd on the Island.

The Wheeling ball team had n regular
picnic with the Mansfield team ut Island
park yesterday afternoon, winning both
games with ease. Nearly every one OF
the Wheeling players was in a good bat
ting humor and pounded the three
pitchers that were put up against them
just about us theypleased. The audience
numbered between 200 and 500, and was
the first one OF any respectable size that
has been seen on the grounds since the
time the Lima games were played. Be
ing permitted to see two games for one
admission was what evidently caught
the people and brought out something
like an old time crowd.
The first game was postponed one
from the last series when rain prevented
it from being played; by mutual agree
ment it was made one OF seven innings.
In this game Wheeling out-batted and
out-tielded the visitors. Flanagan pitched
stronggame, and the only fielding error
was that OF Stencil in right field. The
batting OF Crogan, NichOI, OttersOn and
Van Zant was simply terrific. Van Zant
made home run in the fifth which
caught the grand stand. While Van
Zant has always been a safe hitter, yes.
terday's drive for four bases was the first
he has made on the home grounds,
Flanagan was very effective, striking out
six men.
The score was US follows:
