Progress on the Mall Plan.

The Mall plan, said Col Harris, at an
other point, is nearing completion
steadily He displayed a large map,
showing the buildings which had al
ready been completed in this plan and
those which yet remained to be erected.
Col. Harris stated that he thought
work to obtain the memorial bridge.
which it is planned to have connecting
Potomac Park. near the Lincoln ms
mortal. and Virginia, should be begun.
The prize plan for such bridge which
was drawn about twenty years ago
cannot be used now. he said. in s.ev
of the fact that 1t is so elaborate it
would detract from the beauties of the
Lincoln memorial. A simple bridge is
needed now, he thought.
Plans for the development Of East Po-
tomac Park, with its great stadium, where
the games played may be witnessed by
10000 persons; its two large swimming
FOOLS, its wading pool. its numerous base

courts its fine harbor for small water
craft. it's driveways, golf course, tea
houses and numerous other features Of
interest, were discussed by Col. Harris
He showed members of the committee a
miniature plan Of this park. which Is to
be the great recreation center Of Wash

be carried on for its development as ex-
peditiously as possible.

For Beautiful Water Front.

Nothing created deeper interest among
members Of the committee probably than
did the plans for the development along
the Washington harbor. Col Harris ex-
planned, using various illustrations, that
it was planned to make this water front
beautiful with parks and boulevards.

Theye are more than 1000 of the
large, fluffy chrysanthemums banked
in the center of the greenhouse at 14th
and B streets northwest. awaiting the
inspection of the public. But one bud
was nurtured on each plant, that Its

varieties. All of the plants in the
show are slips from last March or
seedlings raised this season by the eX-
perimental greenhouses of the bureau
of plant industry. of which DR.. William
A. Taylor is chief.
There is to be no Formally about
the show. The public is simply invited
to come at it's leisure and see the
blooms which are said by the superin-
tendent to be finer this season than
they ever have been.
And when the visitors have seen the
chrysanthemums they will have the
privilege of inspecting the other green
houses. There are but two OF these
houses uuarantined. and those are be-
