Commissioners. if their present plans ma
ture. TO install q public casino park in
Rock Creek Park, near Brightwovd reser-
voir, which viii include football, grid
irons, baseball diamonds, croquet grounds,
and a general playground
The Commissioners express belief that
a recreation park, such as is proposed.
can be established without asking for a
special appropriation from Congress, as
it is believed the appropriation for the
maintenance Of the park will cover all
expenses.
Work on the golf course viii begin at
once. y uinc-hole course. with several
natural hazards. to which several artii-
cial hazards VIII be added, viii be con-
structed by the chain gang.

erected by private capital. and on private
land in the vicinity of the golf course.
1t is the intention To erect Al ineXpen-

who desire tc pay small rental for the
same. AS is usual in other cities, a small
sum will he charged for the privilege OF
using the links.
