J. E. Madden and E. T. Stotes-
bury viii Have Entries
in Show.

Two millionaire horsemen-J. E. Mad
den Of Lexington, KY, and E. T. Stotes-
bury OF Phiiadelphia-wil be exhibitors in
the National Capital Horse Show. to be
held May 1 to 4. Madden never has ex-
hibited at a show In Washington, but
Mr.. Stotesbury was a competitor in last
springs meeting. his $4,000 team being
among the prize winners.
Recognized as one Of the greatest
breeders Of thoroughbreds in America, the
coming to Washington Of Mr.. Madden.
say horse show officials. will add prestige
to the show and hasten the time--if, in
deed, it has not already arrived-when
the local gatherings Of horse owners will
attract as many famous exhibitors as do
the Now York and London, England.
shows.
In addition to this, say the officials. the
entry of the Madden horses will add new
interest to the much mooted question as
to whether Virginia or Kentucky raises
the finer thoroughbreds.
Interest in Entries.
Some Of the best horses Of the Old
Dominion state are to be shown here, and
while the names Of the Madden entries
will not be known until the announce
ment Of the entry list. 1t Is said that the
Kentucky breeder will be represented by
string Of thoroughbreds lily capable
OF UNFOLDING the reputation Of the blue
grass section as the home of fine horses.
From now until the beginning of the
horse show chief interest will center in
point of numbers and fame Of the horses
to be exhibited the entry list will eclipse
that OF any previous show. It Is promised
That there is every likelihood Of this
q ko}n a.
ed by the fact that the names Of the
few entrants which already have been
announced assure prominence to a high
degree among the exhibitors while the
sections represented by them extend as
Tar south as Georgia and west to Kansas
City.
Several Washington horses are entered
In. the show, but the distinction of having
the greatest number Of local entries prob
ably will fall to John Gheen. P. V. De
Graw. fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral and director Of the show, has two
entries. Mrs. w. Sinclair Bowen, Miss
Helen Buchanan and Miss Sylvia Mere
dith have one or more entries each.
Question Of Auction Sale.
While Mrs. Allan Potts of Gordons-
vile, Va, whose horses last year cap
tured q number Of prizes. will not be an
exhibitor. no little interest attaches to
the entries of Mrs. George H. Lewis of
Buffalo, N. ", which are counted upon
to make splendid showing. One of the
Baltimore entrants will be II. l.. Hough
ton. 1t Is said that Mr.. Houghton will
have eighteen entries.
With the arrival in. Washington today
of Francis NJ. Ware of New York, di-
rector Of the show. definite decision
probably will be reached concerning the
suggestion that an auction sale of thor

sale being conducted it probably will be
held at the exhibition grounds on the
closing day of the show.

NEW PARK PLANNED
Georgetown Reservoir Site
Likely to Be Converted.
OLIVER TAKES ACTION
Reservation Is Transferred From
Custody Of Washington
Aqueduct Office.

Georgetown Is to have another public
park in the near future, If the approved
plans OF the army engineers are carried
into effect by congressional enactment.
The new park will be located on the site
OF the abandoned high-service reservoir
at the corner Of Wisconsin avenue and
r street. an elevated plateau on the
heights OF Georgetown. This land belongs
to the government and many years ago
was used as portion Of the distributing
system of the Washington aqueduct. 1t
has been out of commission since the
Washington tunnel was put in operation.
Through lack of use and care the reser-
voir has fallen into decay and the sur
rounding grounds are described 'as a
nuisance to the neighborhood."
Steps have just been taken by Gen.
Oliver, assistant secretary of war, for
the conversion of this reservation into a
public park for the benefit Of the resi-
dents OF the western section OF the Dis
trict. On the recommendation of Gen.
Bixby, chief Of engineers, the reservation
has been formally transferred from the
custody of the Washington aqueduct Of
flee to that of the officer In charge OF
public buildings and grounds, for incor-
poration into the general park system
Of the District Instructions have been
given to the last named officer to in
clude in his next annual estimates to
Congress an item for the Improvement Of
the reservoir reservation.
Citizens Are Notified.
Assistant Secretary Oliver has notified
the officials Of the Georgetown Citizens
Association Of this action, which he said
was based on favorable reports from
the army engineers and statement by
the District Commissioners that the old
reservoir is not included in any of their
plans in connection with the water sup
ply Of the District.
CAS- this reservation" says Gen. Oliver,
was acquired in connection with the
Washington aqueduct. it is not thought
that the Secretary of War could legally
make it part of the park system. There
appears, however, to be no legal objec-
ton to the transfer of the control Of it
to the officer in charge of public build
ings and grounds, subject to the approval
Of Congress, which approval would prob
ably be included in any provision Con-
gress might make for its Improvement as
q part of the park system. An item for
such improvement will be submitted by
the officer in charge OF public buildings
and grounds in his next annual esti-
mates"
