Within the past few days plans for
building Washington's new theater have
been assuming practical shape. Several
real estate firms have been giving special
attention to the problem of a site. and
it was thought yesterday that a plan had
been evolved that would result within a
few days in something definite.
The chief difficulty in the way OF the
project has been to acquire a site at a
point which would be convenient TO. the
lines of street cars, which could be pur-
chased at a price that would not saddle
too great cost upon the enterprise. Sew
erd sites have been under consideration,
options have been secured on two or
three of them, and plans discussed be-
tween the interested parties in New York
and Washington without any definite de-
cisiOn being reached.
Last week an idea was evolved which
promises to meet ali the requirements of
the situation. In brief this plan is for
the owners of the ground either to lease
it for a term of years at a yearly rental
or 10 participate in the formation Of a
corporation which would erect the build
ing, prepare IL for playhouse. and lease
ii TO the theatrical syndicate desiring to
obtain theater in Washington. The
plan has been talked over between the
owners Of one or more OF the sites and
some capitalists who have expressed "A

Builders Are Busy.

Architects and builders are making
preparations for a busy season as soon as
spring weather shall allow of continued
outdoor work. In the offices of the con-
tractors stacks Of plans and specifications
can be seen. over~which clerks and mem
bers Of the firms are porting. making
careful computations and preparing their
proposals for the award competitions. An
amazing amount of work of this kind is
done When il is taken into account that
on every large job in the city from six 20
twelve builders submit proposals, some
idea of the amount Of work necessary to
prepare these bids can be obtained. A
contractor stated last week that his firm
did not receive the award on one in six
or eight Of the buildings estimated upon.
Among the buildings under construction
where operations are to be started in the
immediate future is tie palatial home of
Perry Belmont to be erected on the tri-
angular site formed by the junction of
New Hampshire avenue. Eighteenth and
r streets northwest. Plans for this house
have been translated and adapted from
those of a French architect by Horace
Trumbauer, Of Philadelphia The build

133 feet on r street. George F. Payne &
Co. of Philadelphia. received the prelmi-
nary award on the construction of this
mansion, and last week Mr.. Payne
was making soundings. measurements.
and securing other data with reference to
the foundations. The house will stand 15e
by 100 feet upon the ground and will be
constructed Of carved Indiana limestone
in the Elzabethan style of architecture.
The locality is one of handsome resi-
denCes, and it is expected that the Bel
mont home will be one of the finest among
them. Permit for the construction will be
issued by the inspector Of buildings to-
morrow.
Plans for French Embassy.

erection of the handsome residence on

"Reminiscences and stories of early
days in Aberdeen, and how the settlers
happened to come to this section of
Washington were related, and while
there was always the humorous side
presented, it was impossible to keep the
pathetic from frequently obtruding.
At IL o'clock, refreshments were
rived and the men present declared
that the ladies had not lost the knack OF
making good coffee as it tasted just as
good as in the old days.

from the start, Vancouver making their
three runs in the ninth inning, leaving
the score to 3.
Hickey was on the slab for Aberdeen,
and although he passed seven men, al.
lowed but five hits and struck out five
men.
Bert Dunn pitched for the Vancouver
ties, and the way his old team mates
swatted his offerings was enough to swell
their batting averages. The Brownies
got twelve hits off Dunn's delivery.
Aberdeen got a swell double in the
fourth inning when Quigley hit a fast
one over the first base line. Julius was
there like swallow and fairly flew to-
wards the ball, mailing it way back OF the
first bag. The fly seemed impossible,
and Spencer, who was on second, started
for thlid, but the big league init al sacker
fielded to Brown at second, completing
one of the prettiest doubles ever seen on
the local field. In the ninth Streib again
figured in double, this time with Hick-
ey. After the Canucks had accumulated
three runs there was but one out Wa
ters reached first on hit, and Hyatt was
up. Hyatt hit a hot one to Hickey, who
caught Waters at first, retiring the side
and the game.
The Canucks and Cats crossed bats
again this mornng-they havnga missed
game to play-with the old result, to 0
for A Aberdeen. This was decidedly the
best game Vancouver has thus far put
up, and it was anybody's game to the
finish.

Petition for Change of Road.

The petition for changing the route of
Aunt Fiat road through the Bookout
place north of Enterprise was very
largely signed this week. The new
route will shorten the road over mile
and besides do away with several heavy
grades. The present road lies over:
hills where the grades reach as high as
ID per cent, while no grade on the pro-
posed route will be over per cent.
1t is supposed Mr.. Bookout will vigor-
ously oppose the changing of the road
as the new route cuts through his farm.
