WOOD, HARMON & CO., An Addition toa Large Holding of Acreage Property. EME PROPOSED RAILROAD CHANGES | Facilities of Communication Be- tween the City and Suburbs. — TRANSACTIONS ——-- + 50ME ble interest was aroused in real cles by the announcement which aring the week that the court nfirmed the sale to Mrs. Dean of the of H. H. Dodge. This is a strip of land some 20 feet in width, which joins on the east the extensive grounds surround- ing the dence of Mrs. Dean at the head of Connecticut avenue. The Dodge proper- ty has a frontage on Florida avenue and on ivth street, and its acquisition completes block of land which is bounded by 4 avenue, Columbia road and 19th ‘The purchase comprises about 101,- quare feet, which is over two acres, and the entire tract of land now owned by Mrs. Dean is nearly ten acres, forming one of the largest, if not the largest, pieces of acreage property that still remain along the northwestern border of the city. The ation of the purchase of the property de through Mr. Louis D. Wine of the firm of B. H. Warner & Co. Proposed Railroad Changes. The Chevy Chase Land Company has granted to the Glen Echo railroad a right of way through its property to the Chevy Chase circle. At present the Glen Echo railroad terminates at the District line, where is also the terminus of the George- town and Tenleytown railroad and of the Tenleytown and Rockville railroad. It is row proposed to change this union station, as it might be termed, to a point on the Tenleytown and Rockville road some dis- tance north of the present Jocation. The Glen Echo road, as is now contem- plated, will abandon a portion of its pres- ent tracks, and will build a line to Somer- set Heights, crossing the Tenleytown and ockville road, and on through to the Chevy Chase circle. This proposed route will be almost a straight course from the Chevy Chase circle to the present terminus of the line on the Conduit road. It is stated that negotiations are in prog- property ress to have the cars of the George- town and Tenleytown road run beyond the present terminus and over the new route of the Glen Echo road to the Chevy Chase circle. It is also possible that cars of the Tenleytown and Rockville road will run through to the Chevy Chase circle, but as the latter road is to be offered at public sale the latter part of this month, all ar- Fangements of a joint character are apt to be deferred until the new owners can be consulted. It is believed by the residents in that vicinity that if these plans are carried cut the entire region will be greatly benefited by the proposed multiplication of the facilities of communication with the city. 2 Avenue Property. During the past week two pleces of prop- erty gn Pennsylvania avenue have been of- fered for sale at pullic auction. One was the building on the south side of the ave- nue near 6th street formerly occupied by Stott & Cromwell. The frontage is 25 feet and the depth 125 feet. Mr. Ratcliffe, the aucticneer, withdrew the prcperty, the highest bid received beirg $20,000. T other piece of property was Pennsylvania avenue, which wes offered by M. B. Latimer & Co., aucticneers. The property has a frontage of 30 feet and depth of 135 and is Improved. It was with- drawn, the highest bid being $3.25 per square foct. Proposed Apartment Buildings. Plans for two apartment houses of con- siderable size are urder consideration. Mr. Stilson Hutchins recently purchased the Archer property at the ncrthwest corner of Massachusetts uvenue end 4th street, which has a frontage of 58 feet. He al- ready owned the adjoining property on the west, fronting 61 feet, making a total frontage of 119 feet. He is thinking about erecting an apartment house on this site, but no definite action has yet been taken. There is also some talk of remedeling the Hammond Sanatorium building on 14th street extended and fittirg it up as an apartment building. School Buildings and Residences. Property holders and residents on Massa- chusetts avenue will be interested in the zesolution which has been favorably re- ported to the Senate providing for the sale of the Force school building, which is on the south side of Massachusetts avenue between 17th and 18th streets. It is expected that when this property is sold a less expensive site will be secured in the near neighborhood. While it is recognized thst school buildings ought to occupy the best building sites in the city, yet it is also well known that such build- ings are more or less of a detriment to the adjoining prorerty, especiaily in residence secticns of the city. It seems to be dif- cult for tre school authcrities to control the children, who run over the adjoining terraces and keep the locality generally in a shal by condition. Property Transactions. B. H. Warner & Co., real estate dealers, have exchanged for Louis W. Richardson with Barr & Sanner the lot at the north- west corner of New Hampshire avenue and 18th street for thirteen lots on Florida ave: nue between 2d and 3d streets northwest. The same firm has also sold to Barr & Sanner house 1209 22d street. Some Improvements. George S. Cooper, architect, has prepared plans for a residence, which is to be erect- ed for himself, at No. 1813 Corcoran street. It will front eighteen feet and have a depth of fifty-four feet, and will be three stories In height. The front will be of Pompetian brick and light stone, with a hexagonal bay window, oriel window and mansard roof. From plans prepared by W. L. Mangum, B. B. McCormick will erect five two-story $ and > houses, 13x40 feet, on I street 12th and 13th streets southea: A contract to repair the first and second floors of the Y. M. C. A. building on N York avenue, to put on a new roof and make general repair has been awacied } James G. Hill, architect, to F. W. Lacku A two-story dwelling, 16x35 feet, will be built for John D. Evans on N street be- tween Ist and 2d streets northeast. Appleton P. Clark, jr., architect, has pre- pared plans for a frame cottage to be erected at Chevy Chase for Miss Scannel. The same architect has prepared plans for remodeling building No. 618 F street. for John Wedderburn. A new three-story back building 1s to be erected. Wo-story bay window is being put into the front of the building, 1308 F street by the owner, Mr. C. C. Willard, and other changes will be made, so as to adapt the structure for office purposes, H. B. Davis, architect, is superintending for Edward Fitzgerald the erection of four two-story and cellar press brick houses, with stone trimmings, which are being built at the corner of 7th and C streets northeast. J. J. Quinn is the builder. gee MICE THAT LIKE MUSIC, between The Little Visitors of a Bo: D; J y Up in Harlem Who Possesses a Music Box, From the New York Sun, A small boy up, in Harlem has been amusing himself a good deal lately with the mive which he finds about the cup- boards in the kitchen. Last Christmas Santa Claus brought him a little music box, which played two or three tunes when the crank was turned. The boy played it night and day, and would have taken it to school had his mother not forbidden it. One evening just before bedtime, say, 7:45 o'clock, he sat on the floor cross legged and turning the tuneful crank. All of a sudden his mother, who was sitting by the table, leaped up on her chair with a scream. : It is a curlous fact that house mice de- light in music boxes and other musical things, and three*of them had come out of a hole and were running all about the boy, who had not noticed them, so busy was he playing the music box. The mice scurried away at the shriek. The next night when the boy played the mice soon came out onto the floor and raced back and forth. Now the mice are very tame and are fed occasionally by the boy. A Forest and Stream writer once put an automatic music box out in the grass, and spent many hours watching the rébins, bluebirds and other birds gathering about it. A looking glass, put up where the birds can see themselves in it, is also very at- tractive, while a combination of a music ox and a looking glass pleases the birds more than anything else one could put out for their amusement. THE CIRCULATION of The Star in Washington is many thousands in excess of any other paper, Morning or Evening, and is believed to be fully five times that of any afternoon contem- porary. That it goes into more » than ten times as many house- holds is a moral certainty. -!Albert G. Carpenter, Alonzo B. Chatfield HIGH SCHOOL CADETS About the Companies Forming the Second Battalion. PREPARING FOR THE COMPCTITIVE DRILL —__e—_ Representing the Western, Eastern and Business Schools. BANNER AND MEDAL Undoubtedly the most retable occasion of the vear to the High School Cadets and the students and their friends in general is the annual competitive drill, held to- ward the close of each year, when all of tne companies in the regiment meet in friendly competition to decide the question of supremacy. A company banner and a handsome gold medal, donated by Capt. Allison Nailer, are the prizes, the latter to be worn by the winning captain, and a red ribbon, upon which is printed in gold letters, “Competitive Drill, Wash- ington High School, May 19-20, 1806, Prize Company,” for every member of the successful company. Next Tuesday a week, May 19, at 3:30 o'clock, company G, Capt. James H. Wil- liams, will march on the field of the Na- tional Base Ball Park, at the head of 7th street, amid the shouts and cheers of their friends, and will open the contest. It is the ambition of each school to nave their representative company win the prize, and as all four of the companies of the first battalion are representatives of the Central High School, it is a competition between the two battalions, as well as between the individual companics. The companies from the Eastern, Business and Western schools, comprising the sec- ond battalion, naturally do not want the Central companies to win, but have not the same feeling toward each other, while if any one of the Central companies has little chance of being victorious, it ho at least that one of the other three will be successful in securing the much coveted prize banner. When asked as to the chances of the com- panies in his command, the major, J. Theo- dore Graff, who stands at the head of his class at the ‘tern High Schcol, said: “Iam not Inclined to the merits or s ings of any individval company under my command, but will say that each ond every one of the four will give a good account of it- self upon facing the judges the 1th of this month. The four captains are untiring in their efforts ta perfect their com- mands, and I am sure their work will ward.” “How does the second battalion compare with the first, major “Rather favorably, I assure you. Tho four companies at the Central are, with- out a doubt, excedent ones, but 1 fail to see where they have any g#dvantage over those of the second battalion, I think it is more difficult this year to pick the win- ner than at any previous time. I predict the drill this year will be a very close and exciting one, and the jwinrers may well fecl proud of their victory. Company G, the first to appear In the competition, intends to make the other commands hustle in the execution of the program, as it com- pleted ‘the — move- mentsin twenty-four minutes on the White Lot Thursday a XW week, and as the ex- tra movements will count considerable in the awarding of the prize, Capt. Willfams Ait intends to arrange a Mh separate program containing au of the movements known by the cadets that do not oecur in the prese-ib- ed program, In addition toa number which will be repeated. Unfortunately, this com- pany experienced a change of captains a couple of months ago, but in spite of that, its work has been very good. The company is strongest in the foot movements, the dis- tance in fours and platoons being good and the cadence regular. First Lieut. Harry J. Brown handles his platoon in an able manner, while Second Lieut, William T. Plerson, who isa young man @hd ambi- tlous officer but recently appointed, is picking up rapidly. Capt. Williams had the following to say in regard to his company: “Company G has reawakened in the last few weeks, and is now doing as well as its most ardent ad- mirers and friends could have expected. The only fault of the command worth men- tioning is its imperfect alignment, in ad- dition to a little unsteadiness. If the mem- bers keep up their present good drilling, our chances are very bright.” The following cadets compose this com- pany: Leon E. Story, first sergeant; J. Her- bert Hunter, second sergeant; Robert T. Patterson, third sergeant; James V. Kelly, fourth sergeant; corporals, Paul C. Brock, . C. Covell, Claude J. Dawson, C. H. Trickey, and Privates D. S.

Chappel and Henry Dobson, ‘The second company to march on the field will be E, Capt. Newton H. Ferree, which gives promise of being a strong factor in the race this year. It is the only company that has four full- ranked fours, and its erill is solid and reg- vjar. The drill ts al- ways thoroughly and well executed. The firings are good, the cadence is snappy ~ and regular, and the alignments ‘in com- pany front, with the distance in platoons and fours, is almost perfect. The platoon movements under the capable management of Lieutenants William 8. Blanchard and Bernard R. Kelly are a feature of the drill. The foot movements are all well executed, but the manual needs a little improvement. The drill on the whole is better than that of any Rusiness company since company E, under Capt. Dunn, came so near winning in "92-92, ‘The only thing lacking is a suffi- cient amount of’ spirit and enthusiasm, but nevertheless, it #8 believed, the company will make matters extremely interesting for the’ others.

The last company to drill on the first day will be company H, frcm the West- ern High School, the present holders of the prize banner. The company has not the same enthusiasm as !t had last year, but is working hard and will give a strictly good account of itself, and it may be that they will car- ry the prize back to the Western for an- other year. Capt. Allan Edgar Berry 1 excellent officer is exerting every to attain that standard of _ profi- ciency that H had last year under Capt. Joe Taussig. Its ca- dence is about perfect, and the foot move- ments are very gven and regular, with a highly polished finish. Each command is executed with a noticeably precisive snap that is lacking in most of the companies, and the record that H makes on the drill field this year will very probably be as good as that of last. Capt. Berry states that he cannot say what chance his company has for winning the prize, as he has not taken notice of the drill of any of the other companies, but that the boys are working hard to re- tain the ribbons which they now hold.
