the same locality was also designed by the
same architects. 1t was built by Mr.. Geo.
D. Nunder for his own use. This structure,
too. is of the colonial design.
An attractive house has also been plan
ned by Harding & Upman in that locality
for Mr.. George G. Roteler. The exterior is
shingled. and the general design is that of
the American cottage
Another house which has been planned by
this firm is to be the home of Mr.. Edgar v.
Calvert. 1t is of large size and very at
tractive in its colonial details.
Quite different in type in so far as the ma
terials concerned Is the one which this
firm has designed for Mr.. George II.
Rucker. the clerk of Alexandria county. The
residence is located at Clarendon. a settle
ment on the electric road leading to Falls
Church. Concrete is the material used in
the exterior walls, and they are surmounted
by high pitched roof covered with red
tile, the entire design suggesting the Span
tsh style of architecture, producing eff
fective result.
Hotel Building Planned
Messrs. Harding & Upman are also en-
gagged in preparing the plans for the hotel
building which it is proposed to erect on the
west side of New Jersey avenue just north
of the corner of street. This enterprise,
which is undertaken by the Congress Hall
Hotel Company. viii involve the expendi-
ture of about 100000. The structure when
completed Will take its place among the
large hotels of the city. Provision is to be
made for Do rooms and on the New Jer-
scy avenue front it will rise some nine or
ten stories, or as high as the building reg
ulatons will permit.
With a frontage on that avenue OF II feet.
the building will extend back to North
Capitol street. a distance of over 300 feet
with a frontage of 13I feet on the latter
street. There is to be wing extending
south TO G. street and also a court opening
to the south. which will be laid out as a
garden. and upon which wide verandas will
open. thus affording a fine outlook not only
for the surrounding area near al hand but
giving an extended view over the city and
the Potomac. and the hills of Maryland and
Virginia in the distance. The building Is to
be finished by October of next year

GOLFERS To
INVADE ENGLAND

Alex Smith. the national golf champion.
and Willie Anderson, who formerly held
that title. are planning an invasion OF
England and Scotland with an idea OF
wrestling laurels from King Edwards sub
Jects who use superfluous his and show
ing the Highlanders how to play their
own game. Only the chance OF not being
able TO give up their Engagements in this
country will prevent the two American
experts from sailing

sentatives going they will be accommo-
dated with all the ma atches they want.
That Smith and Anderson are in the
same class as Harry Vardon, Taylor,
Sandy Herd and Braid. the big four" on
the other side. Is generally admitted. A
few years ago Anderson became champion
Of this country in the western open tour
nament at the Euclid Country club OF
Cleveland. He won out with a 72-hole
score of 299. This broke the worlds rec
ord in a championship.
Since then 300 has been beaten In
championships abroad. Smith won the
national title. with a score Of 295.
In the spring Of 1905 Anderson and
Smith went abroad and competed in the
open championship Of Great Britain at
St. Andrews. but neither played in any
thing like their best form A desire TO
wipe out the memory Of this unpleasant
experience makes the pair keen to try
again.
Both Anderson and Smith learned 10
golf abroad but they developed their
game in this country. Anderson considers
himself an American. as he came here
