Conservative real estate men report in- creased inquiries, and inside and outside property is alike regarded with favor. There are mary improvements. projected in addition to those already in course of development. At least three large apart- ment houses will be built this summer, be- sides those already announced, and scores of dwellings of a most substantial char- acter are being planned and will be built during the present season. All these things show a healthy condition of District realty, with nothing of the feverish or convulsive about it. The sale by E. C. Baumgras of the N man residence, at No. 1710 New Hampshire avenue, was a feature of the week. The sale was made for the National Safe De- posit Company to Mrs. Moore, a wealthy Pennsylvanian, for $44,300 cash. The cor- poration recently bought it in at a brisk en asserted that to build it. Tt could be probably dup but Its great cost was di of its interior furnishings, nowadays in : pieces originally costing $1 solid mahogany woodwork are not of much value-to a purchaser who wants the house paid for the wman arded as a fair one. Joseph ‘a's new office building, which is to occupy his handsome lot at the northwest corner of F and lith streets, will be under way in a very short time. Necessary changes in the plans have post- poned actual operations, but these will be concluded in a day or two. During the prst week building permits calling for the expenditure of $110,000 have been issued. Among the permits is one to Mrs. S. R. Thorne for a residence at 1 10th street northwest. It will be twenty by eight feet in dimensions, three stories in height, surmounted by an attic and will have a basement. The attractive front will be of bard brick and Indiana lime- stone trimmine a square bay-window will reach to the full height of the house. A handsome mansard roof will top it off. The vestibule and bath rooms will be tiled and the interior will be furnished with hard woods, cabinet mantels, with all the modern attractions, It will be heated by hot water and will be supplied with a full equipment of electric lignts, electric bells, speaking tubes, The cost will be $1 «ww, and the architect and builder is Mr. I. D. Bursey. Plans are being completed for a resi- dence on Holmead avenue near Whitney Architect B. avenue by will be tw it 3 PD. three stories in height above a basement, he with a square bay window reaching to mansard roof. Roman brick and Ind limestone will be used in the artistic front, and a handsome stone porch will add to the effect. The arrangement of the first floor will be most comfortaole. The heat- ing will be by hot water, and all mcdern improvements and conveniences will be in- cluded In the interior arrangeme Improvements costing $12,000 will be made to the residence of Mrs. E. Baves, at the corner of Ikth and N streets. Archt- tects Hornblower and Marshall have drawn plans for two two-story and basement brick additions to the building, and the t- terior of the original structure will be erally altered and repaired. Alexand Miller will do the work. AMONG THE WHIST PLAYERS The embers of the woman's congress had scarcely died cut before the bustle and ex- citement of a new encampment upon a new field is about to take its place. Put- in-Bay has kept most of the strong local men players at home getting into prac- tice, which will take place in the form of a match next Saturday night between the two teams of the C. A. C. and C. Bi. C. of eight players a side, twelve hands to be played between the first and second fours of each team. The following Saturday, the 15th, the C.-A. C. and the C. Bi. C. will Play Baltimore and Walbrook Whist clubs combined, of twenty players on a side. The strong whist players composed of ladies from Philadelphia, Boston, Minne- apolis and many other cities, belonging to the Woman's Whist League, will soon be competing with our strong whist teams. The C. A. C. had quite a surprise in the play of the second four last Monday night, Swearengen, Jackson and Callan playing championship whist. The first team is putting in some hard work, and will try to demonstrate next Saturday night its title'to the position which it has assumed on account of its hitherto strong playing. The rivalry at the C. Bi. C. had brought intense interest in the club, and some strong playing last Wednesday night found one of the strongest pair at the bottom of the list. The play of Cole and Briton is still of the highest quality and entitles them to the rank of star players, while Barick and Low will always hold their own as tournament players. Fogg has been playing very and Wooten of the C. A. ©. e Telied on for good whist, and whist congress, Barney says, without him would be very tame. Remack would have no one to gibe him, Hamilton would have no subsneaks to refer to and Tom Borden would quit the tournament in dis- gust, regretting the 37% cents he had spent in_telegrams. The women of the Cranford team have added laurels to their already brilliant rep- utation as players, and the Washington trophy would have been here had the rules of the men’s league been observed. The rigor of the game should be strictly observed. Every penalty for lead out of turn, exposed‘ card, and looking at a card after it is turned and quitted. Also the ex clusion cf every one from the room bu the players and the referee. The non- observance of the last rule cost the Wash- ingtons the match in the play for the Washington trophy, one of the Washington players making two revokes, losing four tricks to the Pottsville team and the match, but winning the Heaths trophy for second team. The playing of Mrs. Nichols and Mrs. Austin of Washington was very strong, as their records show. And Mrs. Wall's scor: with Mrs. Dr. Neff is as creditable as her score in the mixed double. The playing of Mrs. Pilling was strong, as was her sister's, Miss Schmidt, who bids fair to be one of the brilliant players of the country. —__—_ AN INTERESTING DECISION, The Right to Collect Daty at Rates Fixed by a Repealed Tarif!
