A Forfeited Game.

The third game of the day was to have
been played between the victorious Light
Infantry of the morning game and Capt.
Jaeger's Pensioners. The latter club failed
to show up, however, and after nine balls
had been tossed in over the plate the game
was declared forfeited to the soldier boys.
Jaeger claimed that his club was not noti
fed that it was expected to play OF the
postponed game yesterday until Tuesday
night, and although he made strenuous
effort to get his men together, he found
several of them out of the city and the
rest with engagements they could not
break. To cap the climax, Mr.. Jaeger was
taken i'll in the morning, and was unable
to reach the park, in order to enter a pro-
test. 1t was regretted by all that the game
could not be played, as a most interesting
contest was looked for by the friends Of
both teams.

Action of the Commissioners.

Notwithstanding the approval of

COMMISSIONERS, having in view wide
roadway connecting Connecticut avenue
with Woodlay bridge. Mr.. Presbrey was al
lowed. July of the same year QSSD, to
record another subdivision just south of
Truesdell's, altering the direction of the
original lots and opening a roadway only
fifty feet wide for one-half the distance
between Kalorama and Wyoming avenues.
Mr. Winner subsequently Sold and permits
were subsequently given for. buildings
which have since been erected on the north
west corners, respectively, of this cross

Appeal to the Final Commission.
ut was. according to some of the best
judges absolutely illegal, unGer the cir
cumstances, but is irrevocabIe, so far as
the present Commissio hers are concerned,
i'll that it involved coetaneous and subse-
quent vested rights which they cannot con-
sistently interfere with. The late decision
of the Court of Appeals in the case of
Delaware avenue gives an added finality to
all they do. Yet this protest is made in the
hope that the commission, of which you
are member. and which was constituted
final arbiter in this street extension scheme,
may, nevertheless, find the power to change
the plan, If, in their judgment, such change
should be deemed best.
For, if there is any one thing more pro-
voking than arother to those who favor
the direct extor sion it is the attitude of
those who have worked for the other
course, in their confident belief and boast
that the plans submitted frCm the District
Commissioners will prevail with out modfi-
cation, in that (as such persons tauntingly
claim the final commission cannot find
time to consider details, and is in short,
mere hgurehead. They are counting, /
hope. WITHOUT their host.
81 do not believe that the best interests
of the District are subserved by too strict
adherence to the rectangular street plan be-
yond the Boundary in cases where the to-
Biography of the country clearly suggests
some other plan; but it is the prevailing
sentiment and one which the trainers Of
main thoroughfares and avenues should ex-
tend in a straight line unless the obsta-
cles to such course are insuperable.
1.-THE plan of Washington within the
Boundary, admired by all, shows nothing
but straight avenues. There are slight de-
Elections in the case of Virginia and Penn
sylvania avenues. just as there are in the
scheme beyond the Boundary in Massachu-
sets and Delaware avenues. But defec-
ton made from necessity and n mere
bulge or bend made without necessity are
very different things; and while all the ave-
nues are interrupted at radiating or inter
ceptng points, such as the Capitol and
White House lots and various parkings,
there are no such intersections to justify
the proposed Connecticut avenue abnor-
n.!ty, which is without a parallel in the
rest of the scheme in the District.
Difficulties Exaggerated.
'The difficulties urged against the straight
extension have been greatly exaggerated.
The difference in the amount of land to be
condemned from Boundary to Kalorama
avenue, as figured some two years ago by
Major Powelrs order, was, in round num-
bers, for the straight extension, 1880,
and for the side bend, 104, 500 square feet,
or at a liberal average valuation of 81 per
square foot, some S135,Go0. There were at
that time but three houses on the straight
line, and one has since been erected, the
aggregate cost of which would be some
where near $4,000.

to the top of the hill would involve cut
