"The crowds are as large, but not quite
so representative as they were at the old
stand on the Seyenth-street road" said
Monte Carloite yesterday. Then, if a
business man wished to stake his surplus
on the flyers, all he need do was to drop
out the side door, tackle a street car and
in ten minutes he was thar but now,
weary stretches of dusty road and river
rise between him and the object of his
fondest hopes and fears, and If he should
attempt to take a carriage drive over here
with spirited horse he is just as likely
to land in the river as anywhere else, as
the rush and roar Of the Virginia Mid
land, combined with the Typographical
ugliness of the Long Bridge, is too much
for the equanimity of any decent equine"
Mr.. Chales i. Keller, formerly Of South
Washington, writes IN glowing terms of
81. Louis, the queen city of the wOolly
West, whore he is engaged in the patent
business, in the Office of Higdon & Hig-
don, one of the largest firms in the city,
He has the best wishes of those who know
him best in the Southwest, where he was
deservedly popular.
Baseballists Of the Southwest should
remember that though the "old COM
MONS with its tomato cans and buck
billy-goats has disappeared the Arsenal
remains, with its spacious grounds and
kindly military officials. who have al
ways dealt cOurteously with those who
might seek its breezy lawns and friendly
shades for the purpose of respecting the
| statutes of limitation as to flowers and
shrubberies and playing legitimate ball.
Rows Of handsome residences on Il
street. between Ninth and Tenth, and
| Sixth between l. and VI streets, attest the
| confidence Of Charles ". King and George
| T.. Fmmons in the real estate possibilities
| Of this section. Then, too, one cannot
look around and forget A. +. Bar

tribtted so much 20 the value and beauty
OF the Southwest.
The flexible manner IN which the Long
Bridge bends and gives under passing
trains Of cars would lead one 20 suppose
that its timbers were composed OF whale
bone. Handsome iron and wooden
structures of the most approved design
span the river st the Falls, the Eastern
Branch and Georgetown, and Il is time
that something more ornamental and
seryiceable shonld replace this rioketty
crazy old candidate for the jnnk-shop a
this the most important ard CONSPICUOUS
section of the Potomac, connecting Vir
ginia with the National Capital.
The fcot-way from the Ninth-stree
entrance to the Smithsonian grounds
across j street to the market is in a very
bad condition. In fact, there is no cross
ing there to speak Of, and that is to'
roundabout. The market company
would receive the hearty thanks Of man,
South Washington housewives if it would
see that convenient crossings are estab
lished at that point and kept in good con
dition.
If numbers have not forgotten to tel
the truth, the first Of the two entertain
ments by the public schools of the Fourtl
division was a complete success. TIL
hall was packed and iammed and tn
| policeman at the door estimated tina
there were between four hundred and si'
hundred people who were unable to re
into the hall. 1t is needless to say tina
the excellent programme was enthusias
tically received. Doubtless to-nights S en-
tertainment will even surpass its pre-
decessor in respect to the rush for seats.
The meeting held by the Central Uniol
Mission at Rescue Branch, coner of Sixtl
and ii, was crowded TO overilowing. MI
S. II. Hadley was the principal speaker
telling of his conversion and giving an in
teresting description of his work at tn
Jerry McCauley Mission, New York City
Among those present were Mr.. George w
Wheeler, Of the board of directors, and
large number of workers from the Go:
pei Hall Branch.
