ECHO MEETING,
REPORT on the Work at the Richmond
Convention

~
AT the regular weekly meeting of the
baptlst Young Peoples Union Of the Sec
oi4u bapllst church last night We're given
the reports OF the delegates sent from that
church to the annual convention of the r
Y. =. Z. at Richmond last month. The
lecture room was very prettiIy decora ted in
honor OF the returning delegates, and quite
a large number of the young people of the
church, besides several visitors were in at
tendance to hear these reports. The ex-
ercises of the evening consisted mainly of
the reports of three of the delegates. to-
sether with several selections from the
convention music sung by all of the dele
gates The reports were very we'll writ
ten, and 1t was great treat to those who
couldn't go to hear of the doings of the
convention. The first report was given by
Miss Lizzie Southwick, on the Side Trips
taken by the delegates, and no one can
doubt that the people who went to the
convention from the District of Columbia
and Maryland enjoyed that trip to Rich
mond, and it is one that will long be re-
membered by them. The next report was
on The Early Morning Services" given
by Miss BERTHE Appler who mentioned all
of the interesting facts connected with
these meetings. and was listened to with
great interest. The last report was upon
the convention proper, with all of the meet
ings from Wednesday morning to Sunday
night This report was given by Miss Clara
Price, who gave minute details of all of
the meetings and the many leaders who
helped to make the convention a success.
1t showed that the Baptist Young Peoples
Union of America is a growing factor in
the Baptist Church, and that great gains
have been made in the past year both IN
membership and in the enthusiasm of the
young people.

Neglect of Parking Charged,

To tn, Edito' of The Evening Star:
The previous neglect of the parking on
Pennsylvania avenue east from I'd street
to the new bridge is notorious, but the
present seasons neglect outranks all 9TH
ers No attempt is made to cut the grass,
and at present weeds stand three feet high,
presenting picture of neglect, a sad con-
tiast to the beautiful grass plots along the
bculevards in Chicago, Boston and other
cities. The repairs made by the railroad
and electric light companies have left I'M
slightly bare places, which the parking
commission should resod and charge to the
corporations in question. Pennsylvania
avenue presents great opportunities to
make it a beautiful thoroughfare and its
present neglect is disgrace. G. P.

A EASEMENTS.

BON-TON BURLESQUERS.-T "Bon-
Ton is the title of this seasons first at
traction at the Lyceum Theater, and the
opening is announced for Monday next, Au-
gust I, commencing with regular matinee.
The premier portion Of the entertainment
is called THE Bon-Ton Reception" The
scene Is laid nowhere in particular, and the
plot, what little there is, is very confused;
still much action and many laugh-provok-
ing situations have been injected into it
and the result is that the attention is kept
alert all the time. The second part is a
series of specialties by the principals of the
company, all of which are said to go off
with exhilarating snap. Every well equip
ped burlesque is supposed to carry a sensa-
ton. The "Bon-Ton'' claims one 1t s
named "A Dream of the Orient" and it
gives glimpse of the interior of a Persian
smoking parlor, in which are gathered a
score OF handsome young girls clothed in
fantastic costumes similar to those worn
by the ancient Orientals, "A Run for Your
Money is the name of the closing bur
leSque, ana 1t Is claimed by the manage
ment to posses every element to make an
evening pass divertingly Matinees will be
given every day.
GLEN ECHO PARK.-With the tenn
perature about ten degrees lower than In
the city, visitors found Glen Echo a de-
hghtfully cool place last evening The
amphltheater, of course, was the main at
traction, by reason Of the excellent music
offered by Haley's Band. The program
had variety and quality enough, too The
absence of rag-time music and coon songs
was feature that must have been appre-
clated by the audience. A descriptive
piece, the Charge of the Rough Riders"
was rendered with such vim and cleverness
as to secure hearty applause. Mrs. w L.
Wilson gave several selections, and in a
way to delight her listeners
To those visiting the amphitheater for the
hrst time this year the changes made in
the building proved an agreeable surprise
A handsome proscenium arch now runs
clear across the rear end of the building
and the acoustic properties are heightened
and made several times more effective than
before.
A very pretty set stage emphasizes the
beauty of that part of the theater, and re-
places the bare and bald look that char
acterized the place last year. The excel
lent dancing pavilion provided by the man
agement is an attraction by no means
lacking in popularity. The improvements
in the grounds and the lavish manner of
lighting gives the place every evening all
the appearance of a carnival night
change of program is given every
night and Bandmaster Haley promises
several surprises in musical way in the
ne ar future.
