Meeting of the Association Held at
Buum's Hall.

The regular monthly meeting Of the East
Washington Citizens Association took
place last night at Baums Hall, corner 4th
and East Capitol streets. While no bust
ness of Importance was transacted, several
special matters came up for discussion,
and an interesting session ensued.
Chairman NJ. /. Weller of the committee
On assessments and apportionment of ap-
preparations, when his committee was call
ed, said it had no report to make, but he
desired to call attention to the fact that
the board of assessors was now engaged
making new assessment of the city
property, and he advised all taxpayers in
terested to examine their assessments in
order to file appeals if their property was
rated too high
The committee on parks and reserva-
tons. through DR.. Patten. offered a sug-
gestion to label the trees in the parks and
referred to the educational advantages
such a system insured.
Under the call of this committee, atten-
ton was called by Mr.. Weller to the in
struotions given the committee several
years ago to take steps to have the old
market house site between 9Th and 9Th, *
and NJ streets transformed into public
park. Nothing had been done in the mat
ter, and the site furnished an excellent
location for a park, ne moved Tho com
mittee be reinstructed to take active steps
in the matter.
Several matters Of Importance We're re-
ferred to their respective committees.
Among these complaint against the
Capital Traction Company.
The call of the committee on streets,
avenues and alleys brought forth the most
animated discussion of the evening. This
committee is intrusted with the recon-
mendation of the association in the mat
ter of improvements in the eastern Sec
ton of the city. Chairman Carr of the
committee submitted. the report. 1t rec
commended the adjustment of the plan of
the District Commissioners in the matter
of street improvements. This plan oontem-
plates the improvement of streets accord
ing to a schedule already made up and
now some years in advance of the ap-
preparations. Chairman Carr thought a
new schedule should be made up each year
A long discussion followed, a majority of
the speakers arguing against such plan.
1t was finally decided to appoint COM
mittee to wait upon the Commissioners
and discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of apportion-
ing the appropriations for streets into two
parts, to be used for paving and grading
and regulating, respectively. The meeting
then adjourned.

AMUSEMENTS,

"WON AT LAST.'-Steele Mackaye's do
nestle comedy drama. won at Last" will
be the Eext offering of the Columbia COM
edy company. In this it would seem that
Mr.. Barrows has succeeded in gauging the
popular taste of Washington much better
than Mr. Bergman, who directed the COM
pany last summer, for the two plays offer
ed up to date, Held by the Enemy and
Brother JOHN have pleased better than
the whole list of last summers farces, with
the possible exception of "Niobe and In
nocent as a Lamb and won at Last"
promises to make three of kind. 1t is n
domestic drama, dealing with a loveless
marriage between a society man and a
high-spirited American girl, who is not in
clined to submit to being sighted. The
manner of her resentment, while 1t threat
ems TO bring about separation, results in
courtsh1p after marriage and the COM
pete reconciliation of the pair. Charles
and Rose Coghlan originated these roles,
and 1t Is safe to predict that they will have
worthy successors in William Ingersoll and
Maud Haslam James .. Barrows will
have the part of an eccentric but good
hearted old professor, and the larger part
OF the Columbia company will be enlisted
IN the production. Meanwhile Brother
john is finishing the week to good bust
ness.

AoHtSu IISHlly tHTOTS the great

that the auditorium is filled, for it would
take ten thousand people to DO that, while
the ordinary theater audience looks very
small indeed in the great circle. But the or
chestra floor is filled up solidy every night,
while in the tiers hundreds of people come
and &c. at will, for the amphitheater is so
large that there is no trouble about getting
IN and out. The cast of "Olivette" Is one
of the best that has ever been seen here in
summer opera, including as it does Miss AL
!een Crater, Frank Deshon, George Broder-
lex, Jay Taylor, Viola D'Armon and Harry
carter; and from this roster of principals
Mr. Parry should certainly be able to make
up an excellent cast for 1.-The Chimes of
Normandy, which is underlined for next
week, while the chorus may be relied upon
to do full justice to Planquette's numerous
celebrated concerted numbers. The day at
fractions of the Glen are now in full op-
Grafton, and the increase in the number of
picnic parties is sufficient proof of the pop
ularity of the place. The trolley lines have
increased the number of their cars, and by

shortest possible space Of time.
