EAST OF LINCOLN PARK.
The activity in property in the eastern sec
ton of the city is marked by the transfer of
large blocks Of land. Mr.. Charles A. McEuen
states that he has recently made quite num-
Der of sales OF land lying east OF Lincoln park.
The prices obtained, he said ranged from IL
to 20 cents per square foot and for lots lying
on the extreme eastern border OF the city he
obtained from to 10 cents per square foot.
Among his recent sales were 10000 feet in
squares lao and liza, a. 600 feet in square l04l
aud over 100, 600 feet of ground in other squares
in the same locality.
THE EXTENSION OF TIE STREETS
The subject Of the extension of the city
streets is likely to come before Congress at the
next session in form that will probably result
in some definite action. 1t is understood that
Capt. Symons favors the issue Of five millions
of per cent bonds. The money to be derived
from the sale of the bonds, he thinks, should
be used in obtaining the right of way for the
extension of the city streets and also for the
purchase of ground along Rock creek for
public park. Both of these projects will take
about two and half million of dollars.
1t is proposed to make the bonds payable
in fifty years, and the $4,000 which
the annual interest charge will add to the
expenses of the District 1t is estimated will
more than be made up by the increase in the
revenues from taxation due to these improve
ments. The cost OF extending the streets, 1t il
said is increasing each year because of the APP
probation in values of property about the city,
and the longer the delay the greater will be
the expenditure required II is estimated that
it will cost at least $500 900 to extend New Jer-
sey avenue out through Mount Pleasant. This
is perhaps the most expensive of all the streets
and avenues to be extended, because of its
width and the character of the country through
which it will pass The estimated cost of this
one avenue. however, gives some idea of the
outlay required for the other streets.

THE BUNCH OF LARKs.


Portly he was, in carriage somewhat grand:
OF gentleman he wore the accepted marks;
He third the busy street, and in his hand
He bore a bunch Of larksl
There be some things that may be carried-yes,
gentleman may carry larks-if dead:
Or any slaughtered game, not fish. still less
The homely beef or bread.

And mused long after he had haunte by.
A bunch Of larksl and his intent no doubt
To have them in pie.
Yes, four and twenty larks baked In q piei
U, what a feast of melody is there, "a 'ar
The ringing chorus of q summer sky!
A dish Of warbling air.
How many dusty wanderers of the earth
Have those stlld voices lifted from the DUST
Ana now to end their almost heavenly mirth
Beneath a gour mands crust
But as he picks their thin amhrosial throats
VIII no accusing memories arise,
OF grassy globes and MISUNDERSTANDING notes
And soul-engulfing skies!
Well. he may have his substance and mine.
Deep In my soul the throbbing ark-notds lie,
My substance lasts, and takes life divine

A DISTRICT TOURNAMENT.
Washington and Baltimore to Play for
the Tennis Championship.

1t is proposed to hold tennis tournament in
this city some time next month, which will be
open only to the District players. The weather,
it is hoped, will become more settled than it is
at present, and in that event tennis playing
will be enjoyed not only by the players but by
the spectators. The grounds of the Bachelor
club will be selected as the place for holding
the tournament
WASHINGTON VS.. BALTIMORE.
During the recent tournament at Highlands
Mr.. Ludington, one Of the players for Balti-
more, suggested that it would be a good idea
to have a series of games between the Washing
ington and Baltimore players. He thought
that four men might come over from this city
and play with an equal number living in Balti-
more Then the return games would be played
when the Baltimores would make a trip TO this
city. This proposition met the approval of
several Washington players, and it is probable
that during the coming week arrangements will
be made for the inter-city tournament The side
winning the most games will be considered the
champions. Washington will probably be repre-
sented by Messrs. McCawley, Davidson, Wood
ward and Menocal.
Mr.. Tobin, who was one Of the players in the
recent tournament, has taken up his residence
permanently in this city. He has entered
Georgetown college and now considers himself
District player. He will make strong &C
cessiGn to the ranks of the local tennis en-
thusiasts.

THE GOLD MINING INDUSTRY.
The suburban improvements that are being
made along the Conduit road as far, at least, as
Cabin John bridge, have frequently been men

effort that is being expended is to provide

will enjoy the comforts of a home in this
elevated region. A short distance above Cabin
John bridge another phase of human energy

ore, which are being worked with more intelli-
gence and better facilities than ever before
Some time ago Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin
purchased quite a large tract of land
there. Associated with him in this

that depth, he says, he finds rock containing
