DURING the. 12s years that have
have passed since the memorable
event which the tablet commemorates
the transition of Washington city
from swamp-bound. forest-hidden
hamlet of scattered cabins has been
SO stupendous that the most vivid
Imagination cannot visualize the pro-
ceedings of that early date with any
semblance of realism upon the site
today.
Surrounded by vast stretches OF
woods, Capitol Hill then was only a
large primitive knoll, with the tenn
permental Tiber tapping along its
base, giving romantic view to such
early estates as that of Duddington
Manor. whose owner Daniel, Carroll
had dreamed of a modern Rome when
he purchased the virgin acres border
ing the troublesome creek.
Here and there sturdy farmhouses
reared upon the smoking embers of
Indian tepees gave promise OF en-
couragement to the struggles of the
old wiseacres who sought to plant on
the banks of the Potomac the germ of
national unity that should be nourish-
ed by patriotism and develop into
nations stronghold.
Little did these good men and true,
under the eagle eye of the intrepid

uneven roads and along the erratic
cowpaths which then served as
streets. Their inspired vision. which
transformed a plain block of marble
into a mighty legislative hall for
free people. likewise spread its glam-
our over the approaches and surround
ings. and. like mirages of the desert,
a city beautiful lifted its dome. spires
and steeples, before their enchanted
eyes and spread its broad avenues be-
meath their feet.

ZEN. WASHINGTON had long been
a member of the Masonic fra
ternity. and it was but natural in his
difficult role of first President to an
infant nation, when among other du-
ties 1t fell to him to dedicate build
ings and the like, that his mind
turned to the solemn rites Of this or
der as the most suitable with which
to conduct the official dedication of
new landmarks in the nations life
and history.
Therefore. on September 49, 1898.

 With the combination of Herrick and Halnes working, the opening of the season in 1916 was none too prom ising.
