The Washington herald., 1910-09-04

Samuel J. Prescott and Benjamin T.
Pillow. president and secretary Of the
Washington Builders and Manufacturers
Exchange. respectively. have in hand an
extensive programme Of entertainment
for the Interstate Builders Association,
which VIII come 70 this city on Septem-
Der II.
The Interstate Builders Association is
composed of the builders exchanges Of
Baltimore. Norfolk. Richmond. and
Washington. and the field day which
Will be held in this city on the date men
toned Will be largely social in character.
II will be similar to the meeting OF tho
same body held in Norfolk. Va. last
week. 1t is the aim Of this association 20
hold meetings OF this character each
month. specially in the summer season,
and in the recent past the delegates have
been deliberately entertained at Baltimore
and Norfolk.
Big Meeting i'm Norfolk.
The Norfolk meeting was considered
by all who attended it to be a great
success. The Virginians at the foot Of
the Chesapeake are said 10 have laid
themselves out 70 show the visitors
royal good time. and now Il Is up 20
Messrs. Prescott and Pillow and their
able helpers 90 teach Norfolk a thing or
two in the way OF hospitality.
The programme OF entertainment has
not yet been worked out. except in some
Of its main features. The visitors will
be met al the station or boat wharves nv
a special committee. which will convey
them to the headquarters hotel in style
and comfort better than that afforded by
the street cars. The delegates win as
semble at the Builders Exchange in II
street. at $3.50 a. m. and win go on a
sightseeing automobile ride about the
city. visiting several large buildings in
course Of construction and including an
inspection Of some Of the handsome new
residences Of the city. The public build
ings will also be observed
The party will return TO the exchange.
and at 2:30 a luncheon will be served in
the exchange rooms. and the balance Of
the afternoon will be open house TO all
corners in the building and material
line.
VIII Play Baseball.
One Of the features Of the afternoon
will be a baseball game between the
mines from Baltimore and Norfolk.
1t appears that the first game OF the
series was played in Baltimore. and the
visitors, being guests Of a highly hos
pitable people, did the courteous thing
and allowed the home team 10 WALTON
them in a truly heart-rending manner.
On the recent visit from the bav. the
Baltimore team. feeling its superiority
and knowing that It could beat the Nor
folk aggregation easily enough al
lowed Norfolk to skin EN-" all for the
sake OF true hospitality.
So far as the visitors are concerned
Washington is neutral territory and II
remains 20 be seen which aggregation
of baseball can really play the game
1t Is therefore expected that the Wash
ington game on September II will be one
of strenuous endeavor and for blood. ="
with no favors on account Of hospitality
or for any other reason.
At p. m, after the question of base
ball supremacy has been settled. the Wis
TORS, with their hosts, will sit down 10 a
banquet at the headquarters hotel. which
Is yet 10 be chosen. At the 6anquet will
be the usual speeches. music. and mer-
riment Of such occasions.
