To Quarry Feldspar.-A dispatch from
Ellicott City to the Baltimore american says:
"a report is current that steps have been in
augurated for quarrying feldspar on large
scale on the properties along the upper Pataps-
CO. both in Howard and Baltimore counties.
About twelve years ago large tract of land in
that locality, which was owned by the Worth
ington heirs, and which had been in a measure
neglected for farming purposes since slave
who came from the West. In experimenting
some time ago deposits of feldspar were found
on the land and prominent dealers in that
line were invited to make inspections of it..
AS result of their Investigations an arrange
ment has been entered into by which opera
tions will soon commence to mine the mineral
in large quantities. ~

New Year Day at the Green Spring Val
the kennels of the Green Spring Valley Hunt
Club, which lasted greater part of the day.
At 7 O'Clock the members met at the kennels.

though the soggy condition of the ground pre-:
vented fast riding. A fox was started and
chased about an hour. The hunters returned
which commenced at 10 o'clock. The contes-
tants comprised about seventy-fve farmers
who shot at clay targets with revolvers. The
prizes for good craftsmanship were riding
whips, brides and horse blankets. AS is the
usual custom of the club on New Years day
the farmers over whose ground they hunt we're
given dinner at o'clock. About $50 persons
were present. Mr.. Redmond G. Stewart, mas
ter of hounds, was POSTMASTER. The house

THE WEEK IN REALTY.
.A7cakening in ManhattanriUe Dis
trict RereaIed.

The last week revealed the fact that new move
ment is we'll under way. At present its magnitude
is small is likely assume large proportions
before the end OF next spring. 1t affects the seq
lower part of IT. Some OF the best known buildirex
in the district Manhattan College and the Con
vent OF the Sacred Heart. This has long been
dormant compared with the activity In certain
other sections, and the chief reason for the slug
glshness OF realty operations has been its poor
rapid transit facilities In the future it will
be within easy reach OF most OF the principal
thoroughfares OF the city. and its dock facilities
will be much better, as the plan OF Commissioner
McDougan Hawkes. OF the Department. OF Docks
and Ferries for the improvement Of the water
front between ne-hundred- thirty hfth-st and
One hundred and thirty-saventh-st. has been an
proved by the Sinking Fund Commission A num-
Der OF leading real estate men were asked yester-
day what they thought OF this plan and they said
That II met with their hearty approval as such an
improvement as proposed was soreIy needed and
would undoubtedly result IN increasing the value
of real estate in the section.
Briefly, the plan OF Commissioner Hawkes. is the
building OF large piers at tbirr,,
hfth-st ne-hundred-and- thirty-sixth-st and One
hundred-and- thirty-seventh-st and the building OF
an exterior street from One-hundred-an d-tbirtv-
htth-st. to ne-hundred-and-t hrty-seventh-st by
the purchase OF the wharfage rights there for the
city This street will be OF the tracks Of the
New-fork Central Railroad. and TO build II as wide
proposed II will be necessary to extend the bulk
head line between the streets. The land north and
south of the proposed dock Improvement rises to
great heights, and therefore the only natural and
easy channel for the handling OF materials AMI
merchandise OF all kinds for or from Manhattan
Vile is in the valley formed by these elevations OF
land. The west end OF the valley takes in all OF
the waterfront improved or TO be improved II is
said that the cost OF the work Is small compared
with the probable gain to the section from real
estate point OF view The OF the Improvements

tion of One Twenty ninth-st and Mar

GULLS FORETELL HARD WINTER.
So Say Longshoremen-The Birds Are I'm
usually Plenty About the Fishing Fleet.

Not for more than ten years have so many gulls
been seen in New-York Harbor as have gathered
this year. Along the East River. in particular
there are hundreds. and the Fulton Market piers
there are always dozens Of the great birds ready to
swoop down and carry of Any fish oftal that is
dropped overheard The unusual number of gulls
say the sailors along shore. is a sign of
long and cold winter they have been driven
south by unusually early cold weather TO the north.
Every Thursday. when the fishing fleet comes in
greatest number, the gulls then fly down the bay
far Sandy Hook to meet the fishing fleet, and
accompany 1t all the way up to the pier. Then
they hover over IT, screaming and swooping down
to the boats closely as they dare. So bold have
some of them become that they will drop down to
the deck Of a boat, and seize any fish that may
strike their fancy. They not keep il long. for
before they have risen many feet the other birds
try TO get it away. and there is fight in midair
among the gulls which generally ends IN the stolen
fish being dropped into the water. and picked up
by some gull outside the fight The birds are
more OF a nuisance this year than ever: Made
bold by their numbers. they give the fishermen
much trouble, and they have to stop work every
few minutes 10 beat the hungry birds off. Last
week there were a dozen stunned killed by
the men striking them with their forks in beating
them away
