almost Immediately alongside one Of the giants
OF the forest, in whose branches thousand
birds of the air might make their homes. A
number of those who have planned 10 build ct
the Glen next spring will do 40 some OF the
residents do now-sieep at their homes but
board at the hotel; q very pleasant mode Of
existence> An inexhaustible quarry OF excellent
building stone in the park adds greatly to the
facilities for the erection of fine, attractive
houses at a reduced cost Forest Glen Park
was formerly known as Rays woods, forming q
part OF the extensive estate Of Mr.. Alfred Ray.
CAPITOL VIEW PARK.
Following the railroad track, which lie q
double one, toward the setting sun, and at .
point Just ten miles from this city is the station
outlets for the many who will make Capitol
View Park their home. This property has as
Its eastern boundary the line which separates
IT from the Forest Glen investment company's
subdivision, and, as this line runs right through
the station at Forest Glen, those who will live
In the eastern portion of Capitol View Park
viii be able TO get of or on the train almost at
their doors. The front Of the park extends up
as lar an Knowles station, which gives railroad
facilities 70 the west-enders. This subdivision
is in the hands Of A. S. Pratt d Son, and up to
the present time considerable work has been
done on the lbs acres now on the market As
large an addition is being held until there ID q
demand for it.
From Forest Glen station up to the western
limits of the park is a series of easy ascents
from high ground to that which is considerably
higher. The majority of the houses will, IL
they are built to fit the situation face toward
the southeast, and it was from this agreeable
peculiarly that the tite-Capitol View Park
was derived. But two objects in the capital
can be seen, and they are the Goddess Of
Liberty on the Capitol dome and the upper
portion Of that stately shaft dedicated to WASH
ington. The supply of shade trees here is
ample. or water there is a plentiful supply OF
the best. Some of the streets have been
graded, and several houses will be erected this
season by persons who propose making their
homes In the park-among others Mr.. W. H.
Wilson of the National Bank of the Republic,
Mr.. David kindleberger of Riggs q Co., and
Miss Prentiss, the latter to open a school, which
Will be largely of the kindergarten variety.
Others who will build are Samuel s. Shedd,
Charles Bradley, Thomas Graham, and q. W.
Callahan. Building stone will not be expensive
so far as residents of the park are con-
cerned. for they are at liberty to quarry
and cart away Out not outside the park all
the stone they need from a very fine quarry on
the place. Piscatorially inclined residents will
not have to travel far for sport. fve-acre
pond has been stocked with brook trout, and
the management has decided that each and
every resident shall have the right to fish in
that pond as often he or she pleases. Rather
pleasant arrangement, this! Fancy get
ting up with the sun and enjoying an hour
or more of fine SPORT then returning home TO
cook and eat the captives which succumbed
either to your skill or their own hungeri All
this supposes, however, that the supply Of fish
is equal to the demand
