THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C.; SATURDAY, JUNE 7. ALONG ROCK CREEK. The Picturesque Beauty of the Fu-| ture Columbus Park. —_——— SHADY NOOKS AND VALLEYS —»—_ ‘The Ettorts to Secure the Park—Success at the Present Session—The Pride of I-A Most Benutiful Region and Its Many Advantages, oo OLUMBUS PARK, in Rock creek val- ley, seems at present to be almost an accomplished fact, For many years the fight for this great improvement has gone on and report after report, all favorable to the project, has been handed into Congress by the various District com- mittees. The accompanying map shows what will be the general lines of the park, stretch- ing from Klingle Ford Bridge to the District line and comprising within its limits one of the most picturesque regions in this portion of the country. Little need be said to any citi- zen of Washington as to the desirability of de- voting Rock Creek valley to park purposes, not only from an artistic, but also from a sanitary point of view. The park, as projected now, will contain 2,000 acres. EFFORTS TO SECURE THE PARK. For a long time attempts have annually been made to induce Congress to acquire this stretch of land for some purpose. Lovers of the beau- tiful were loath to see this picturesque locality eut up into building lots, while the men of a practical turn of mind looked forward with Gread to the spectacle of this limpid stream furned into an oven sewer, sowing the seeds of | disease through the surrounding country. The result of these feelings has taken form in va- rious measures introduced in Congress from | Year to year. some of them reaching a consid- eration, but all at sot ge or other falling by the wayside. The subject was first broached to the Senate of the Thirty-ninth Congress, ‘THE FIRST SENATE BILL, ‘This bill was brought about by a resolution introduced by Mr. Hendricks and adopted by the Senate instructing the committee on public buiidings and grounds to inquire for a suitable site for a public park and also a suitable site for a presidential mansion. and empowering the committee to employ an army engineer to Make the necessury thvestigautions. - N. Michler of the corps of engineers was Belected the committes for this purpose, and in January, 1867, he submitted his report. speaking in the most enthusiastic manner of the Kock Creck valley and advising that it be purchased and made into a great national | park. The committee agreed with Maj. Michier and introduced the bill. as stated, which, how- ever, never reached a consideration, SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS. From this time on in each succeeding Con- gress bill was introduced to establish the park, but little or nothing was ever heard of them, until in the Forty-ninth Congress the Senate actually passed a bill authorizing the Commissioners of the District to condemn land on Rock creek, beginning at the intersection of Massachusetts avenue extended and Kock creek, THE PROPOSED C land can be worked into parade and play | grounds.

The park at this lower end will be very narrow, as can be seen by a glance at the map, and the adjacent country, coming almost down to the water's edge. will, in time. be built up with splendid suburban houses, making the approaches to the park come through a highly developed stretch of country and adding to the contrast when the park is once entered. In the limits of the proposed park is to be found aimost every variety of tree which this climate affords, Creeping vines and flowers of every wild variety are found im abundance and in many places clear crystal springs tum- ble their contribution of water down to the creck. ATTRACTIVE HOMES. Some Ideas About Decorating the Sum- mer Piazza. LITTLE THINGS THAT WILL ADD BOTH TO THE COMVORT AND BEAUTY OF THE SUMMER? HOME— TABLES, PAPER HOLDER3 AND HAMMOCKS— SOMETHING MORE ABOUT FURNITURE COVERS. Althongh many people are able by reason of good health or are compelled by force of cir- cumstances to remsin in their own Washington homes through the hot weather. the majority, perhaps, leave town, A season of rest and recreation and achange of air and scene are great reeuperators for worn-out minds and bodies, Eatire idleness is not desirable, how- ever, soa good supply of work of some con- genial kind is generally stowed away among the drobe to be brought ont as times and inclination suit. It is well to have a varity, too, for industry, like gram- mar, has its .moods and tenses, What suits one occasion does not another, so some little foresight is demanded to supply what will | Le needed before one gets into summer quariers—in some instances to find himself “twelve miles tromalemon"—as far as re- sources go. It is well on leaving home to take a ‘ount of stock—like the merchants, Every scason something in the household sup- plies or furnishings gives out and must be re- newed, ‘This apphes equally to the decorative parts of the establishment. If a scarf is needed here or a set of doylies there now is the time to OLUMBUS PARK. meadows stretching in gentle waves in the dis- tance. Just cff from Brightwood the military roud crosses the creck at one of its pretty points, One of the things which ean be devel- oped with splendid results on the creek is A SYSTEM OF DAMS and obstructions by which larger caseades can be formed and above deep pools and lakes. All along the upper region of the creck and. in fact, for its entire course the banks are con- tinually changing in aspect and huge moss- grown rocks raise their crests and overhang the water as if meditating a plunge; forests, primeval in their wildness, sometimes line the ilying water: ravines stretch back and glimpses of civilization are obtained in. the distance.

ON THE UPPER CREEK. ‘Mr. Hemphill introduced a bill early in this Session, which was reported favorably from the District committe The bill was forced to hold over, however, on account of lack of time. This year, however, the Rock creek region has had better luck, both the Zoological Park and the National Park coming in for a big share in the right <irection. The bill which has passed the House is iy different from the Senate bill for a ional Park, but the questions at issue are of little moment compared with the great object in view and will be easily settled. Both bills simply make arrangements for the purchase or condemnation of the ground needed. /This of Becessity is the first step to be carried out. TO BUY THE GROUND First. It is not the intention, it is bel; Gress tomake in the immediate future any Very large appropriations for the purpose of @eveloping the park. They are satisfied for the present to obtain the ground and ward off the possibility of its being cut up into sub- divisions. In time. however, money can be Spent in developing the region.

Pretty pieces of silk and plush that have been accumulated also may sometimes be available for accomplishing some new and desirable effect, if only one has them at hand, instead of snugly stowed away at home. Probably, as heretofore, rose leaves and pine needles and the white flowers of the “immorteies” will be gathered to fill pillows for sou- | venirs of the summer outin, In that ase the best work to do is embroider appro- e covers for them; but so many sugges- ve been given in all the art_ papers on the suitable decoration for such pillows that I will not go over what may be an old story to most of the readers of Tue Sran, Hammock pillows are good work also—made of colored linens, Turkey red or any other bright goods— washable being preferred, They are prettiest outlived or worked more heavily in white, and | a full puff around the edge adds to their pic- turesqueness, FOR THE PIA: So much is made of piazza life everywhere that if one goes to one’s own summer house it is worth while to devote some time to the fitting up of the piazza to be us delightful a re- sortas possible. Nothing adds more to com- tort a jooks than cushions and pillows of all styles, Large square pillows filled with fresh straw are excellent for piazza use, It is best to cover such with some gaily flowered chintz, nd not to expend one’s energies embroiderin, ything that will undoubtedly get the art ar and rough usage of such cushions, There y be too many of them, so a variety voverings may be chosen, The ever-usefal snim makes both pretty and durable ones, to be mixed in with brighter colorings, Book shelves and paper holders fastened against the sides of the house are a good inven- tion and one likely to be almost universally adopted. As for furnishings, they are as dif- ferent as the piazzas themselves and the houses attiched, for the piazza seems the importaut | part of a’ summer establishment, ‘The Moorish rush chairs are excellent fer pizza use, mixed in with wicker and wooden, and the capacious and favorite spluit-bottomed rocking chairs, with their wood painted scarlet, or any other color that may be jiked better, Lush is also used most effectively for window boxes and is inexpensive and light. As yet, however, they are’ probably a little diffieult to find, ax they are novelties.” Rush is being put toa number of uses for interior decorations, but is generally too fussy in design to find favor in artistic ey | THE PIAZZA TABLE. A table as big as the viazza will allow is one of the necessary comforts, and a very common one will do if a pretty spread is put over it. One of the coarse-looking Bagdad or Algerian tuple covers will be an excelient choice. If sometuigg less expensive is wished there is always the denim or bright eretonne, both of which will bear washing. An old marble-top table (L take it for zranted there are no new rarble-top tables anywhere) will be found quite a treasure, tor then there is nothing to be spotted or stained by some careless d setting down a glass of water or inkstand aying fruit about. Onatable cover itis well to put atray permanently and have it un- derstood that it is for any such thing that might ruin the spread, If there is room, a tabie or shelf given up entirely to writing ma- terials will be found a great convenience, A NEWSPAPER HOLDER. Another thing that will be appreciated (by | the ladies who have to pick up the newspapers alter the men have dropped them on the floor | after reading) 18 a paper holder or rack, Some- thing that is fastened against the wall or toa pillar will be tound most out of the way. Lhe strip of atting—thin Japa ting is the best—bound with braid or ribbou and one end | turned up to form & pocket is as good a design asany, Itean be made quite large and orna- meuted with lettering or painting and bows of bbon inaddition to the binding if desired, Or course, these permanent furnishings are ein a place where it is secluded | h to have it safe to leave them out | | n the night. Otherwise the appoint- | must be fewer when it is an eve task to hove everyth housed, but ¢ qnict villages lounges, chairs and tables are kenerally as sate on the piazza as in the house. Awuing or Venetian blinds are more often used than not where so much of the time 1s passed on the porches, thus making them available on rainy days and ingly more cozy and com- fortable for the bad weather. : Hiaving fitted up the louuging place it will be found « good place for industry, too, aud mauy such spots will be the sce: tlled on lookin at certain pretty aud useful articles next wine ter, ‘The thoughts and sentiments connected With such souvenirs are often strong enough to | establisin 1 fouduess tor the inanimate things, and the associations may be must pleas- aut which the sight of a summer's work. will call up, ight eu in i i i i AN EMBROIDEREN’S OUTFIT may be made quite en elaborate affair with all the necessaries made in such attractive and en- ticing shapes as one finds them nowadays, ‘To any one interested in her work it is a great sat- istaction to have ail the utensils copneated with itas pretty as possible. ‘The jewelers can fur. | nish mauy of the implements, and the thunbles, gold and. silver-bandied ‘selssod | emerys, | in strawberry shape, with silt | Iver leaves to them, and silver needle Jeases ro among the attractions they offer.

Selecting a Rifle Team—From the Gal- Gusty Weather— Coaching the Mea. ee EARLY a mile below the southern termini of the Washington ~ and Georgetown and Metropolitan street railroads is a row of targets, five in ‘number. The long stretch of irreg- ular turf that extends directly northward for more than a thousand yards. with these targets, comprises what is known as the Washington arsenal range. This is the place where local riflemen do love to congregate, and if you should ever want to see one of the sharpshoot- ers of the District National Guard on any Wed- nesday afternoon you will find him somewhere between those targets and the 600-yard firing point. Naturally the Arsenal Point and its vicinage is beautiful and there probably was a time when the refreshing breezes were laden with unadulterated ozone. That was some years ago béfore the James Creek canal emptied the city’s sewage into the rolling tide; before the surface of the Anacostia river was tinted and the atmosphere tainted by a never-ceasing streati of odoroas exudation. Buieven with the disadvantages of a more or less poisonous atmosphere there are several enthusiastic marksmen in the guard who would have no objection to spending a vacation within a few yards of the “range” they patronize so exten- sively. They are enthusiastic believers in the scriptural maxim: ‘“‘Whatsoever thy hand fiudeth to do do it with thy might.” ING OUT MANKSMEN, About a month ago it was thought best by those in authority to go through the local military, as it were,and weed out the crop. Nobody knew up to that time what kind of shooting material was in the guard, Everybody knew that there were some crack shots in the brigade, but not even the inspectors of rifle practice had an inteliigent idea of the capabilities of those committed to their care. The sheep and the goats had to be separated, for there was more than one challenge at headquarters call- | ing upon Gen. Ordway to trot out his rifle team in competition with similar organizations in the states, The first move to be made was the one by which all those who had made less than 65 per cent in the gallery were disqualified from extra practice on the range. Then an order was issued in which all those whose records were better than 65 per cent were authorized to appear at the range on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 7th instant. Responses to this were numerous and showed that about 130 men had gone over the line. Several reported who were not qualified, but « few shots soon gave positive testimony as to their inefficiency, The fittest have survived and they are about 25 in all. From these the rifle team of the guard will be selected, and their practice has demonstrated very conclu- sively that they will be as hard to beat as any team heard of in recent years, AT THE 200-YARD RANGE. Practice on each Wednesday commences at 2 p.m, at the 200-yard range. Four targets are generally called into requisition and to each one its quota of thoso present is assigned. Each squad is in charge of an inspector of rifle prac- ; he gives all the instruction possible and ps the scores of the men on his target. He is also respousible forthe discipline in his. vi- cinity and, when he docs his duty, prevents any One from approaching too near a man who is in a position to fire, Strange as it may seem to the inexperienced and uninformed, the short ranges—200 and 300 yards—are the most difficult ones at which to make good scores, ‘The position is responsi- ble for this, There is no support for the rifle save the marksman's left arm, and if there should happen to be a nervous or muscular | ¢ weakness in that member good shooting is nothing but luck, with the odds all against it. Not more than half a dozen out of the crowd that was at work when a Sran reporter and his camera appeared on Wednesday Tid coullain at the buil’s-eye and feel anything hke certain that they could hitit three times out of five. The others aimed and hoped. Artificial rests of any description are forbidden entirely at 200 and 3 rds, and it was at these distances that so many neophytes fell by the wayside, failing to make the necessary 50 per cent at each 1 being shut out from further extra practice for the present. FIRING AT THREE HUNDRED YARDS, SITTING. When the detachment got back to 300 yards the seene changed materially, The positions allowed by army regulations insist that at this range the marksman must either sit or kneel. But few practiced shots essay to kneel, soa position which was quite a favorite during the rebellion has gone almost entirely out of fash— jon, ‘There are several ways in which to seat | yourself so as to tire witha probability of ad- vantageous resuite. More common than any other is the one represented here. When a man has heels dug well into the sod it is not as awkward as it appears to be, but it is always open to the objection that the knees will spread rest for the elbows, Another position gaining rapidly in favor is the one in which the leftkuee is drawa up to support the left arm; the right leg is extended and the right arm has no rest at all. Two or three of the “cracks” are using it with marked success, ONLY TWO MEN USE IT. More difficult to assume than any of the po- sitions previously referred to is the one at prosent used by only two men in the guard, It is a most unbecoming attitude. viewed fromthe esthetic standpoint, and it probably bangs the markemen who use it more than any other pose possibiy could, but he who can shoot it with any degree of comfort will rarely fall short of “a string of fours,” while the chances are good for his coming dangerously near the ‘highest possible,” ‘The man who drills himself so as to use this position successfully can easily claim to be something of a contortionist, Av FIVE RUSDRED YARDS, LYING. As a rule the quality of the shooting im- proves very materially at 500 yards. The posi- tion is undoubtedly responsible for much >f this improvement. A much larger target than the one used at the short ranges is in place and it seems easier to bit. Here the men lie ne and support the rifle upon both elbows and forearms. Anything more natural or easier could not be. and the man who will conscien- tiously practice this prone position will do some firsteclass work. Here the strap—the sling: be used around the left arm, and be eee veral experts who do so with ad- van! Tesults. The tyro who, under ordi. Serie aebances, would make a good score at 300 yards often finds himself entirely out of his element should the day be atallwindy. A difference that was but slight | at 200 yards is neuriy three times as great at this distance; therefore if the blasts come in a gusty manner from various quarters it would Not surprise any one tosee an inexperienced man miss the target completely, How much of a discomfort there 1s in a miss no one knows but he who has had the bitter experi- ence.

When the light is uncertain there is frequently a good deal of trouble in distinguishing between the disks which announce the numerical value of each shot that hits the target. The “three” disk is half white, half black and is technically denom- inated a “mag,” because its hues are those of the magpie. At 500 yards it is often very indistinet, and when held any other way than flat against the target is often mistak for either a “two” or a “four.” ‘The * disk is all black and the “four” disk is a dark reddish brown. Not imfrequently the marks- ; man doubts the accuracy of the marker and then the field telephone is quite useful. This means of communication is carried from one firing point to another and connects with the wire which runs down to the butte. Practi- cally the telephone is of but little value on a queried decision, Ifthe marker has given a man a miss all the challenging that can be done over one wire will not make him do anything but repeat the flag waving. He never goes back on a decision, right or wrong. VARIOUS POSITIONS AT SIX HUNDRED YARDS. At 600 yards there is always a diversity of opinion as to the best position, Among the new men that side position known as the “Texas grip” isa favorite, and some of them stick to it until their record is co pletely spoiled. There are but few men who can shoot the “Texas grip” with anything hke a degree of uniform accuracy, in spite of the fact that the rifle is practicaily immovable. Some there are who use the “Fulton” position —the rifleman being flat on his back—but the majority get the most satisfaction out of the prone position; it may be hardona man’s Shoulder, butit’ runs the figures up in good style, Now that the number of men doing extra Pinstice 1s down to somewhere in the neighbor- ood of thirty the inspectors of rifle practice will be able to do more “coaching” ee an im- provement in results may be reasonably looked for.
