Pierce Mill to Work Again.

One OF the most interesting an
nouncements of the week was that the
old Pierce Mil, in Rock Creek Park,
is to be rehabilitated.
". P. Richards. assistant engineer,
who has supervised all the Improve
ments in the park, and Daniel z.
Garges. clerk OF the Rock Creek Park
board of control, made a tour OF inspec-
ton through the reservation on Wednes-
day and determined upon Z number of
improvements which will be recon-
mended to the District Commissioners
and the board Of control. Col. John
Biddle. the Engineer Commissioner, is
taking the same deep interest in the
welfare OF the park that characterized
the administration OF his predecessor in
Office. Capt Lansing H Beach. II was
in appreciation Of the work done by
Captain Beach that the board of control
gave TO the principal thoroughfare Of
the park the name Beach driveway"
Colonel Biddle Is anxious that Rock
Creek Park shall become a fayorite pic
ME ground. and that the young people OF
the city may visit the park and enjoy its
wild beauty and the many pleasures that
are TO be found there. There are sew
eral splendid springs within the inclos-
ure or within easy access.

Better Showing Made Than
for Same Month in For

Building Rule.
Pierce Mill to Be Renovated
and Put in Operation for
Supplying Water for Park
Reports of Property Sold

The realty and building operations for
the past month have been surprisingly
good. and. although no large sales have
been recorded, or buildings begun. the
sales and construction OF smaller houses
have been gratifying. July. although it
has not come up to past months in the
number of building permits issued, new
ertheless made a better showing than
the same month in former years. This
good exhibit. it is expected, will con-
tinue. for at the end of the next thirty
days a new building regulation will be
in force, which viii increase the thick
ness of the walls OF twO-story houses
from nine TO thirteen inches. In the
meantime. many will apply for building
permits in order to take advantage OF
the existing law.
About a month ago it was announced
that the new regulation would go into
effect July 9. This led 10 a rush for
permits and resulted in the largest rec
ord ever achieved IN the office or the In
spector of Buildings. 1t is said as the
enforcement was suspended until Sep
TENDER 9, another rush will probably
result about that time. Many building
projects are held up on account OF labor
troubles. and high prices OF materials.
If these unfavorable conditions can be
adjusted before the opening of the fall
season, builders will doubtless have a
busy season.

CABIN IOHN BRIDGE.

During the hot weather Of the past
week thousands OF visitors to Cabin
John Bridge awaited themselves OF the
privilege the park affords of "a Trip
to the Klondike," and all wished for
furs while crossing with chattering
teeth the frozen rivers or shivered
through the snow-capped passes. When
the car struck an iceberg the other
evening what might have been a serious
accident was promptly ayerted by the
presence OF mind Of Conductor Holli-
day, who. by quickly reversing brakes,
steered his passengers out OF danger.
Cabin John continues to entertain
great throngs of visitors, despite the
cloudy weather. There are so many at
fractions at this park, in addition TO the
unrivaled band concerts and the famous
black bass and chicken dinners of the
club house. il is not surprising that at
q season when the city itself has little
to offer in the way Of an evening
amusement. that Cabin John Bridge
should flourish. whatever the weather.
Haley's Band offers one OF the best
programs of the season the coming
week. An entire change Of bill Will be
inaugurated today at the Palm Garden.
These entertainments are made under
the charge of Lubin, the king OF NOV
ing picture exhibitors, and always con-
tain some series with. musical features.
This week the Corbett- McGovern fight,
showing the sensational knockout blow
that has created so much discussion
among pugilists. will probably attract
most interest. though the picture show
ing the moving Of the famous old Lib
erty Bell TO Boston will awaken more
general enthusiasm.
