he was succeeded as pastor Of the church by
the Rev. Earle Wiley. who is still in charge.
A new church for this denomination Is now
being erected TO the northwest OF Thoma
Circle, between Massachusetts, avenue and
Fourteenth street.
According to Wilhelmus Bogart Bryan, the
history of the Disciples OF Christ III WASH
ington dates back to 1880, when they held
their meetings in the home Of DR.. Barclay
-Four years after the Disciples Of Chris or
Christian Church had. in 1880, become a de-
nomination." says Mr.. Bryan, n church was
founded IN this city. This was due 10 the
labors of James T. Barclay, NJ. d, one of the
active missionaries spreading abroad the teach
ings held by the followers Of Alexander Camp
bell. The first meeting held in Dr. Bar
clay's residence, the Navy Yard The
use Of private homes was continued and for
many years the congregation did not out
grow such limited accommodation. When. II
years later, an appeal was made through the
UNCONVENTIONAL newspaper for subscriptions to
erect church building in Washington. 1t was
stated in regard to the local congregation,
"A few disciples are there meeting in private
rooms noble little band truly but with
out much of this worlds goods Four years
before the Civil War the congregation was
using Temperance Hail."

TIE old Baltimore a. Potomac Railroad De-
pot. In which President Garfield was shot
stood on Government ground, and its sheds
extended for almost block south Of the main
building. The tracks which came the
railroad trains from the South, occupied Sixth
street all the way to Maryland avenue Archi-
tectually the building was very pleasing to the
eye, and from this standpoint was not q dis
credit to the city. though the placing of the
depot on north B street, and the tracks In
South Washington, did surely not enhance the
value Of property IN this section Of the city.
1t undoubtedly was a great relief to adjacent
property owners when the depot and the
tracks leading to it were removed, shortly
after the completion of the Union Station
in 1907.
The Baltimore q Potomac Railroad was first
opened for business between Baltimore and
Washington in the Summer Of 1872, though
the depot, according to William Bender vii
son, at that time was q very uninviting look
ing frame structure, with platform having q
pine Eheu roof over it. and stood just outside

 Sam Shaw among others brought 1 to an abrupt and sensational end the long reign of the east, leading the Navy across the finish line by a length and half.
 Al Ulbrickson stroked the win ming Washington crew to a second Successive victory the following year and in the absence of the Navy a surprising Wisconsin crew that finished with a spectacular sprint, chased the Huskies over the line.
 Again the eastern entries brought up the rear and it seemed that the
 course of rowing empire definitely had taken its way to the west.
