Among the many Improvements In pro-
gress at GEORGETOWN College, the ball
field will doubtless furnish very great
source of interest TO those who take part
In the athletic sports OF the university
Visitors TO the college have noticed the
workmcn actively employed In removing
an old landmark at the end OF the field,
known as bachelors Hail." formerly the
residence of lay-teachcrs, who have as
sisted the members Of the faculty in vari-
Gus capacities for many years. This build
ing will soon disappear, in order TO make
way for a new addition OF the BATTLEFIELD.
which Is to extend in that direction. The
work OF leveling the hill adjoining this
structure has already begun. The present
field, which measures S2j feet in length.
will receive an additional extension of IL
feet. thus making a total length Of %
feet The proposed width OF the improve
field. after the ravine 10 the left has
been filed IN and levelled, is 20 be more
than 300 feet, and will be graded towards
the north. so as TO rise six inches 10 every
hundred feet. From the middle line run
ming north and south the ground Will
slope towards the east and west at the
ceive a special grading. The cost OF the
entire work Of grading will be oyer s2,70).
IL Is proposed ultimately 10 encircle the
ball-feld with a cinder-path, which. with
the large dimensions Of the new campus.
will render the walking track an excellent
training ground for the college
pedestrians. The grand stand and other
convenienoes for the accommodation Of
the public Will, 1t is hoped, be erected
.l,,, To-, -, d. ~ th.
many games scheduled for the coming
scholastic year will be played upon the
nev field, where the annual "held-sports'
will. no doubt. be marked by an athletic
stride hitherto unattained In the records
of the college With the increased facilities
for railway travel already available by
the cable-road and the underground troll
ley soon to be built by the Metropolitan
Railway Company, il Is 10 be hoped that
every advantage will be held out TO- the
patrons Of athletic contests. Ii need
hardly be added that all these improve
nents will require considerable outlay.
They are, however. OF a nature 70 inspire
some Of the friends OF the students with a
desire to assist them. II the grand stand
is not erected this year II will be for
want of an element which can be OBJ
tanned only from some generous benefac-
tors. Many minor improvements are I'm
progress in other parts of the college. one
of these will take the form OF six new
shower ba tbs, to be added TO the present
bathing facilities enjoyed by the senior
students
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS.
The college authorities are in daily ex-
pectation of three large staned-gIass
windows. TO be placed In the transepts
and over the main entrance to the Dahl

tons worked in relief, which have been
ordered from the same firm. Both are
the gifts OF Mrs. John Vinton Dahlgren.
a rather curious addition has lately
been made 10 the Coleman Museum IN
the shape OF an old volume OF theology,
presented by Mr. Frederick Sparkling.

"Nictheroy." sent from New York 10
Brazil during the late rebellion. While
stopping at the port Of Pernambuco, Bra
I'll. the lieutenant visited the Catholic
cathedral there and saw the body OF
man. apparently one Of the ancient mis-
sionaries which had been exhumed from
one Of the concrete pillars Of the cathe-
dral. With the body was found this old
wormeaten volume OF theology, which had
suffered materially from its many years
of incarceration.
Recently the college was honored by
visits from several of its distinguished
alumni. Colonel Charles J.. DENLY. Min
