DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
THE ROUTE OF M STREET EXTENDED

THE ROUTE OF STREET EXTENDED.
This morning Mr.. Robert E. Morris called
upon the Commissioners and presented to
them two deeds, which completes the route Of
VI street from the Bladensburg road to Ben
ming station. This opens a new route to the
northeastern section Of the District
and lessons the distance to that section
about one-quarter of mile. The
Washington Jockey Club have been exceedingly
anxious for this improvement. 1t is under
stood that when the new Benning bridge is
built that the old structure will be moved up
to Nj street, and the property holders adjacent
thereto are looking for assistance from the
Commissioners and are expecting out of their
own donations to have the road graded at an
early day.
THE EXTENSION OF STREET ORDERED.
On application to the Commissioners by resi-
dents of the District outside the limits Of WASH
ington and Georgetown for the opening Of
street north between Lincoln avenue and
LIST street west. and after notice OF
such extension by advertisement, the Com
missioners today ordered that the extension
be made according to the plat on file in their
office and the marshal of the United States for
the District of Columbia, and requested the
marshal TO summon a jury Of seven
judicious. disinterested men, not related to
any party in interest, to be and appear on the
premises on day to be fixed by him to assess
the damages, if any, which the owner or own
ers of land through which said street is pro-
posed to be extended and laid out may be en-
titled.

tracing parties were escorted into the parlor
from an upper room by four misses clad in

ers were the Misses Phebe L. Edison, Gertie
Metcalf, Pearl Edison and Regina Julihn, and
these recited and sang several poems and odes
written by Mrs. Allyn, extending congratula-
nons to the bride and groom. Prayer was
ouered, and the questions usually put under
such circumstances were given and answered.
The ring was placed by the groom upon the
finger Of his bride and they were then declared

freshments followed. The following morning

the championship OF the District The
result wss something of a surprise. aith Sagh
Mr.. Davidson has been playing an unusually
strong game this season. He Was nj his best
yesterday, and his drives. which the feat IRE
OF his game. were particularly effective. NJ.
McCawley wss clearly outplayed aud be vac
unable 10 overcome the .troug play mad.
by his opponent Mr. Dsvidson's victory Was
the cause OF great deal OF rejoicing among
the District players. not because Of the defeat
OF Mr. McCawley. but rather for the reason
that Mr.. Davidson has never before attained
this honor, which his friends Thought that his
skill and ability deserved several seasons ago.
The score was as follows: Davidson beat Nc
Cawley, 6S, Ga, rs. Mr.. Davidson not only
won the handsome clock which was donated by
The EVENING STAR 90 the first prize in the
singles, but he also holds the Cranberry
plaque, which represents the championship Of
the District
TIE DISTRICT DOUBLES
There were two other events Of considerable
importance which marked the last day in per-
haps the most notable tennis tournament ever
held in this city. The finals in the District
doubles we're played. In this contest the
young players, the Peter brothers. crossed rae
quets with the veteran players. Messrs. McCsw-
ley and Davidson. IL was u well-contested game.
but the skill displayed by the Peter brothers
gradually rolled up their score Of games aud
tney succeeded IN winning three out of four
sets. The young men were heartily applauded
IN gaining the victory, which gives them the
championship of the District in doubles. The
scores we're follows: Peter brothers beat
McCawley and Davidson, 6-S. 6-3, SO, Ga.
The finals for the non-winners' prize was
played by Messrs. Sheibley and W. q. Peter,
Which resulted in q victory for MIR. sheibley,
the score standing, Sc, Ga, 7-9. Ga, 6-3.
AsuccEssFUL TOURNAMENT.
The'tournsment which closed yesterday was
q success in every respect Unlike the major
ity of previous tournaments il was a financial
success, and instead of Mr.. Thomas p. Borden,
who was mainly instrumental in getting up the
tournament, paying for the handsome prizes
principally out of his own pocket. as he did last
year, the appreciative public who Witnessed
the games relieved him of that rather onerous
duty. The tournament was well worthy If the
patronage of the public, opportunity was
presented of seeing the play Of some of the
Leading tennis experts IN the country. The
local players will derive great advantage
from meeting such players and in observing
their style. Mr.. Borden will be encouraged 10
get up another tournament In arranging the
details OF the management of the tournament
Mr.. Borden had the efficient assistance Of
Messrs. Sheibley and Wooten.
The tournament was the most successful ever
held in Washington, and the local men who
were instrumental in bringing crack players
from other cities are well pleased that their
efforts were appreciated.

SHE HAS A GOLD MINE.

Mrs. Truesden Thinks There IL One on Her
Land to He Taken for the Park.
In the Rock Creek Park injunction case, bill
OF the United states against Cooper ct al, to
restrain the respondents from cutting trees,
Judge Hagner has the papers pending his de-
cision.
This morning q rather unexpected move
ment was made before Judge Hagner in the
Equity Court, Mr.. James Coleman presenting q
petition from Mrs. c. o. Truesdeli, owner Of
lot AZ, asking permission to do what is neces-
saryin prospecting for gold. She states that
on her property is a vein Of gold
bearing quartz one-fourth Of mile
long and from six to eight feet wide
Although no assay has yet been made she SUBJ
mits the affidavits of E. J. Godfrey and others
stating that the ore will yield % to $40 per
ton.
The presentation Of the petition created some
amusement and District Attorney Cole WAS con-
siderably taken aback with the suggestion that
within the park there may be in the near
future mining camp scenes.
Judge Hagner remarked as he took the pa
pers that gold mine would be an attraction to
the park, but he did not know about the camp
followers, COW boys, DC.
