LINCOLN MEMORIAL
DEDICATION, MAY 80
Will Mark Completion Of West.
ern Terminus Of Great
Highway.

Dedication Of the memorial to
Abraham Lincoln on the afternoon
of May 80 will mark the completion
OF the western terminus Of the great
Mall, in Potomac Park and will be
another advance in the series of
improvements which are designed to
make this the greatest park in the
world.
The eastern terminus Is marked
by the Grant Memorial, recently un-
yelled. The two memorials were
planned in 1901. With the Washing
ton Monument, forming the axis of
the Mall, they will form the three
greatest memorials in any one park
in the world.
Surrounding the Lincoln Memorial
there have been developed stimuli.
taneously in the course of its con.
struCtion the great Potomac Park,
of more than 700 acres.
In selecting the site for the Lin.
coin Memorial, the Senate Park Com
mission had in mind the restoration
of the Mall, according to the Len
fant Plan, but extended from the
Washington Monument three fourths
VI d IIllle "eSIWdTu the G.
At that time what we call Potomac
Park was known at Potomac Flats,
or Kidwell Flats, offensive and detri-
mental to the public health, but rich
in part in aquatic vegetation and
with great possibilities for develop
ment. That locality was a favorite
place for shooting reed birds, when
the frogs gave their spring concerts
there, and mosquitoes and malarial
germs prevailed in abundance. Thus
one of the close friends of Abraham
Lincoln, our reVered Uncle Joe
Canon said at the time in that loCa-
ton the building would shake itself
down with loneliness ana ague."
To the northwest of the Lincoln
Memorial extends the proposed Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway. 1t
forms the connecting link between
the Rock Creek and Geological Parks
and Potomac Park. This project
will transform an area OF about 1872
acres along Rock Creek between
these parks, which has for several
years served as an unsightly dump
ing ground, into one of the most
interesting links in the connecting
chain of parks and parkways which
will eventually surround the Ma.
tional Capital.

Magic Building of Vast KidIand
Draws Big Throng to Marvel
at Activity.

On May IA, 1854. the Ameer of
Buluchistan became independent Of
Great Britain, which is no occasion
for an excited furry on the part of
the Washington public.
On May IA, 1922, the Ringing
Brothers and Barnum and Bailey
circus, bigger and better than ever,
arrived in Washington, to show for
three whole days-six performances;
the furry already is assuming the
characteristics of rousing welcome.
No distinction of age, sex, color,
creed of previous condition of servi-
tude could be observed in the crowds
that greeted the mammoth Assem-.
blage, from the point Of its arrival
on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks
at the Benning viaduct to the show
Fourth street and Florida avenue
northeast.
Coming from Philadelphia, the 100
double-length circus cars, which
shame the luxuries of any fancy
titled private rattler on any road,
will be unloaded by 10 o'clock and
their contents on the show grounds
in order of arrival.
The circus will begin it's opening
performance at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon, the main tent opening an
hour earlier to give the crowds
look at the menagerie. The night
performance will start at s o'clock.
These hours will be observed on
every day of the exhibition.
Tickets may be obtained at Lars
burgh and Brothers department
store and at the show grounds.
Special car service to the grounds
will be provided during the circus
stay by the Capital Traction Com
pany, direct to and from Twentieth
and Calvert streets, Seventh street
and the Navy Yard. Free transfers
will be issued on all points of the
system.
The annual circus Sunday" OK.
odus to the show grounds will be
in full swing this afternoon. The
big force Of workmen, hardened TO
their unromantic tasks of expert
stake-driving. tightening of guy
ropes and raising tents, are always
courteous to the throngs who never
tire of watching the big show get
under way.
The earliest and most persistent
spectators will see twenty-nire OF
the thirty tents raised. The big
top" however. will not be erected
until tomorrow morning. 1t is eN-
pected that many will be on Fand 10
