N.W. It LITTLE HALF MOONS Mr. W, Pitt Kellogg Objects to an Alleged Circle. Originnl Site for Hancock Statue Has No Friends — Riddlea by Rail- road Tracks Protests. , ‘The following letter from Mr. W. Pitt Kellogg, relative to the condition of 16th street at the junction of New Hampshire avenue at U street, was received by the Commissioners today, and is interesting: “I desire respectively to call your atten- tion to the condition of 16th street at the juncture of New Hampshire avenue and U Street. In the appropriation bill for the District of Columbia, passed by the second session of the Fiftieth Congress, there was a provision, as follows: ‘That the Com- missiorers of the District of Columbia are authorized and directed to condemn a suf- ficlent amount of ground at the intersec- tion of 16th and U streets and New Hamp- shire avenue from squares 176, 177, 189 and 190, for the purpose of constructing a circular reservation, the same to be called Hancock Circle, provided that the ground to be acquired or the cost of the same be defrayed otherwise than at public ex-/ pense.” | “After the passage of that act, the Com- | jug missioners of the District established a small circle from the center of this street in each direction, being, I think, some 80 or 90 feet in diameter. As the persons who owned lots in the squares above mentioned would not consent to donate any part of their property for the purpose of this circle, it was circumscribed to the narrow limits stated. The circle as laid out only affected the corner lot of square 175 and the corner diagonally opposite, in square 190. The eircle as constructed absorbed all the park- ing on the corner of squares 175 and 1 encroaching slightly even upon the lots. The owners of these lots protested against the establishing of the circle ut the time, alleging that it was so small as to be a blemish rather than an ornament to that locality. “This became so apparent that Congress, in the District appropriacion bill passed dur- ing the first session of the Fifty-second Congress, provided as follows: “That the circle at the intersection of 16th street and New Hampshire avenue, known as Hancock Circle, be and the same is hereby trans- ferred to and located at or near the inter- tion of 16th street extended and Morris treet.’ NN, ( You'll Find It Much Cheaper i | | ) | > 4 i **** To let us repair your Umbrellas ** © * and Parasols, expertiy, than to give Ra * © © them, to be repaired or recovered, FrOCOOOO SLES DOSOLSPES OOO MT (oe 0 6 to any one who comes along. oe oa) **¢* We have the materials and expe- $Eye Glasses of $|) 3:3) 2c: : z TLE L lent work and have never tatied to | 2 *** give genuine satisfaction.

The effect of this is to leave a half circle on each side of the double track, which has been curbed and grassed. These two little patches of grass are very small and cir- cumecribed in widtn, extending, I think, the entire width of the original streets from their extreme points. “I respectfully submit that it Js not say- ing too much to assert that these two patches of grass, in the shape of half moons, in the middle of a magnificent avenue like 16th street are not only strik- Ing blemishes, but objects everyone who observes them. “I submit that this unsightly obstruction ought to be removed from the center of 16th street, not only in the interest of the general public, but in justice to the prop- erty owners Whose rights have been en- croached upon without their consent, their parking hypothecated, and the value of their property greatly injured, so much so that the owner of one of the wots who bad intended to build a residence thereon been compelled to abandon the project.” — —— --— FARRELL HAS THE WHIP RAND, New York Cannot Force Him to Play There This Season. Charley Farrell, the catcher whom the New York clud wants but is not willin, to pay as much as Washington, nay de- cide to play in this city after ali. It is generally supposed that when a ball player 1s sold to another clud the player sold has | to go. Ordinarily this is the case, bat if the player has a contract with the first club that must be exchanged for a new contract before the deal is completed. Farrell has an unsigned coniract to play with Washington this year. All he has to is to sign it and the Washington club js bound to pay him a salary for the sea- son.

Steps were taken at a public meeting in ston last evening to form a base ball lub to be represented tn the New York State League. The league will consist of eight clubs, as follows: Albany. Utic Oneida, Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Johnstow Schenectady and Pittsfield, Mass. Final ar. rangements for the formation of the league | will be made at a meeting to be held in Albany tomorrow. Vaughn, Morgan Murphy, Smith, McPhee of the Cincinnatis have not yet signed for 1894. Umpires will give all decisions from back of the plate the coming season. There will be no going down behind the pitcher when a man is on first. While this may give bet- ter judgment on balls and strikes it is sure to be the cause of much howling whenever there is a close decision on trying to steal second. “Jiggs” ParrottM&nd his brother Tommy driftel into Chicago yesterday. Jiggs is ready to play for Anson and Tommy is en route for Cincinnati. He is confident that he will rank as one of the leading pitchers of the season. Van Haltren and big Dill Brown also reached the city. They came direct from California, where they have been spending the winter. Van Haltren was on his way to New York. He was delight- ed with the prospect of playing there. “When I got the contract,” he said, “I could not sign it too quick. back number yet, and I expect to do good work for the team.” Bill Brown is not as fat es he was at the close of last season, having got rid of about,thirty-five pounds of | flesh. . Jim -O’Rourke says of Farrell: “New cam well afford to be just to a man ual they never had as a catcher and tter.

Two new sets of caps arrived teday. One is of white and black stripes and the other of red and black. Manager ‘hmelz claims that Washington l be the best uniformed club in the country, and Mr. Wagner agrees vith him. According to the latter, the uniforming of a base ball club is simtiar to the scenery of a theater. A good one reflects credit on the city which the team represents. The club will issue, In about two weeks, a reat invitation to the ladies for use on ladies’ 4 Charlie West, the colored groundkeeper, is quite a feature in himself.
