An enjoyable meeting of the Tuesday Ciub was held last Tuesday evening at the tresidence of Mr. F. A. Holden, on Ralston avenue. The evening was devoted to rep- Tesenting and guessing the titles of popular works, reading humorous selections and re- Jating amusing anecdotes. The next meet- ng of the club will be held at the “Octa- gon House,” on Locust avenue, the resi- dence of sthe Misses Rathbone, on the evening of te 14th instant, and Shake- speare’s comedy of “The Twelfth Night” will be the tople for discussion.

Part of the tracks in the building will be of pit construction, the pits being lighted at frequent intervals by electric lights, thus allo:ving all parts of a motor car and its mechanism to be inspected, and, if necessary, repaired, without removal from the tracks. This system will also permit motor cars te be stored without removing their ploughs. ‘Two power tracks will also be run in the building, for the running of cars to the transfer tables and for carrying them on the loop. There will also be numerous sur- face tracks for the storage of trailers, and tracks with transfer arrangements, con- nected with the repair shops. ‘The East Capitol Street Facade. The part of the building fronting on East Capitol street is 433 feet long. It will be of such design as to set the pace, it is believed, for a good class of buildings on that street to follow, and not be a drawback, as is the case of so many structures of its character, to what is destined to be one of the finest thoroughfares in the city. It was with this object in view that the management of the company decided not to have the cars enter on East Capitol street, and thus cut up the parking and permanently blemish the street. The only entrance here, therefore, will be one in the center of the building, and it will lead to the company offices. Granite steps will lead to a large arched doorway, trimmed with granite, and .above it will hang a@ wrought iron decorated lamp of ample dimensions. All the exterfor walls will be laid in se- lected hand-made brick, with granite trim- mings and deeper patterrs, and there will be copper cornices and slate roofing. The brick will be lafd in red mortar. The deep- er patterns will be of black fire-flashed brick. The aim of the design is to get a front simple and dignified, and relying for beauty on breaking up the surfaces with well-propos tioned lres and selecting sub- stantial mzterials and colors. from the board of commissioners a~ the ex- piration ct their terms, and should tie: both decline to be candidates for re-elec- tion it is generally believed that Maj.
