ROCK CREEK PARK.
What MIR. Perry Says of the Work of
the Commission.

The clerk Of the Supreme Court of the
District has turned over the Rock Creek
Park comission the sum of sf5il.69. This
amount is the balance of the fund deposit
ed in court on account OF the roadways in
the park, and was left over because man :
of the roads had been shown to be the
property of the United STATES
. Speaking of the matter, Mr.. r. Ross
Perry of the commission stated that
some time next week the commission
ers would pre- batly hold their last meeting
as such, when they would formally turn the
park over TO the permanent commission.
That dona, the present commission woulc,
explained MIR. Perry, proceed, as a board
OF assessors, to determine the value of
benefits accruing to owners of property
adjoining the park. Just when the commits
sioners would begin such assessment Mr..
Perry could not say, but he thought that
the work could be commenced early next
month.

list, caused n local sensation by plying his
old handicraft, blacksmithing, for few
minutes. Over 100 people followed him to
Ed Buffers shop, corner Walnut and Tenth
streets. by the time Bob had donncd the
leather apron 800 or 400 people had crowded
in the shop to see him WELD the hammer.
Tho pressure to see the performance was rs
great as around many n prize ring, and
there was no rope to keep the crowd back.
Owing 10 the jam and consequent lack of
light, he made only four shoes. They were
eagerly seized by bystanders. FitzsilRmons
handled the hammer with the ease of an
old timer. The shoes were entirely work
manlike. He made the four shoes, one OF

expected. The Tennessee boys, who were
close to the boys from Louisiana, no.

'"Thcse frogs have been campcd so long
by the Thirticth Louisiana that they are

At another time some of the men
were lounging by the riverside when
they heard some French speaking WON
ell, who were engaged in washing, talk
ing TO each other.
Suddenly one of the boys called to an
other, who was noted for his slowncss
of speech:

with the flower sprays, and green blossoms
are also favoritcs, the mignOncttc being

used as they were last year, but roses and
Violets retain their prestige. Sprays of
semldouble yellow chrysanthemums are
shown having large yellow middles, and
buttercups and dandelions also figure
among the popular yellow flowers
Much lace in black, white and ecru is
used. Sometimes it forms the entire frame
OF the hat, sometimes it is mingled with
straw braid for that purpose and sometimes
1t is used only in the trimming. Guipure.
