and the electric reproduction of the Battle

were some deficiencies in the spectacle

The new arrangements for transportation
to the beautiful resort add greatly to the
comfort and convenience of patrons. Cars
now run direct TO Glen. Echo Park from
Fifteenth and East Capitol Streets by the
river route; from Thirty-second and NJ
Streets by the Georgetown Heights way,
and from Chevy Chase Circle, thus giving
the public opportunities to choose between
river and rustic scenery that is Inexcelled
