Plans [REAL ESTATE GOSSIP New Buildings That Will Shortly Be Erected. ACTIVITY IN SOME DIRECTIONS Better Feeling Among the Dealers Real Property. THE WEEK’S RECORD An excavation is being made at the north- cast corner of 7th street and Howard ave- nue, where it is proposed to erect a row of twenty two-story houses. This im- provement is to be made by M. T. Cockey, J. T. Levy being the builder. The ground occupied by the houses comprises nearly all the extensive frontage on 7th street of the lawn about the former residence of General O. O. Howard. As the house is considerably above the graded street it was necessary to do some heavy grading, and the bank of earth left in the rear of the proposed houses is to be protected by a retaining wall. The erection of houses in rows in this vicinity affords another illustration of the growth of the city. Several years ago houses in rows were built in the vicinity of Brightwood, and, in fact, all along the 7th street road are indications showing the gradual encroachment of the city on what was the green fields and farms of the country. In the Petworth subdivision, which is at the northeast corner or the 7th street road and Rock Creek Cturch road, Christian J. Ubhoff is erecting eighteen frame cottages. He is also planning to erect other houses in the same locality. In the subdivision known as Brightwood Park D. B. Groff is building a number of frame houses. The ground bordering on the south of the country residence of Mr. M. G. Emery is being graded, and it is stated to be the intention to erect there a number of houses. “Affected by the Street Extension Act. Recently an application was received by the District Commissioners for the issue of @ permit to erect houses on a subdivision of land beyond the present bounds of the city. Upon examination it was found that this subdivision was not in accordance with the plan of the extension of streets as laid down in the map which has been prepared by the District Commissioners. In fact, one of the avenues of the city when ex- tended would pass directly through this subdivision. The Commissioners refused the permit on the ground that the subdi- vision was not in accordance with the plan of street extensions. Application was th: made for permis- sicn to erect houses on this ground, no subdivision being proposed. This applica- tion was granted and the permit was is- sued, and it is supposed that in the event that the hous7s are to be sold a descrip- tien will be given of the ground occupied by each house by metes and bounds. The position of the Commissioners ts that they have no right to interfere with any use that property owners may desire to make on the land affected by the street exten- sion act. It is understood. however, that property owners in building houses on the lines of proposed streets and avenues, as indicated in the street extension map, do so at their own risk, taking the chances that when the right of way for the streets and ave- nues is secured they will be reimbursed for the amount expended in improvements. Business on the Avenue. ‘As already published in The Star, Mr. Emmons S. Smith, the proprietor of the Boston Variety Store, intends to erect a handsome and commodious building on the site of nis present establishment on Market space, or Pennsylvania avenue, near 7th street. The new building is to be six stories in height and promises to be one of the most notable additions to the busi- ness buildings along Pennsylvania avenue which has been made in recent years. When Mr. Smith found that his growing business made it necessary that he should have @ new building, he debated whether he should erect the new structure on the present site or find some location on F street. Mr. Smith said that he was three menths considering this question, and he took almost daily walks through the bus- iness section of the city, watching the crowds at different points in order to de- termine for himself whether the present location was less frequented by shoppers than some others in the city. He came to the conclusion that the locality had not lost its characteristics and was still largely re- sorted to by those who wished to buy. He therefore concluded to remain where he row is. In the develapment of the business sec- tion of the city some doubt has been raised as to whether the avenue wouid continue to maintain its place as a business thor- oughfare. It ts evident from the decision reached by Mr. Smith, as well as from the extensive additions made by other business men along this thoroughfare, that Penn- sylvania avenue is not being left in the onward march of events. It is also evident that the occupation of other streets for business purposes shows an expansion of the business of the city rather than the abandonment of one location in favor of another. Some-Large Enterprises. Mr. T. E. Roessle, who owns a large block of iand at the corner of 16th and R streets, stated during the week that he had been in communication with a New York capitalist who desired to purchase the property. He said he was told that it was the intertion of the would-be pur- chasers to erect on this site a large apart- ment house, the total cost reaching about $900,000. It is apparent that capitalists living in other parts of the country are turning their attention to the possibilities of Wash- ington real estate as an investment. At the present time there are several enter- prises being considered, which if carried out will result in the investment here not only of a large amount of outside capital, but in many substantial improvements. In all these enterprises, with one or two ex- ceptions, it is proposed to acquire large in- terests in suburban property, with a view of erecting houses so as to furnish accom- modations for the growing population. One feature that is proving attractive to these outside investors is the comparatively low price for which it is possible to secure eligible ground in the vicinity of the city. It is often said by those who are residents here that land values are excessive. But it is evidently considered by outsiders that present prices of land, especially in some suburban sections, are remarkably low, as compared with those asked for land sim- ilarly located in relation to the cities where they have their homes. * The Rate of Interest. While this is true, it is also the case that at no time in the history of the city have real estate values been more substantial than is the case at present. An instance of this is found in the prevailing low rate of interest on real estate loans. While a g00d deal of money is loaned at 6 per cent, yet a large number of 5 per cent loans are made. On well-situated property ee a@ steady income loans have been ob! and are obtained at as low a rate as per cent. As is well known, there is ing that indicates so strongly character of realty as a low rate terest. On business property-in N¢ city money is loaned et a less 4 per cent, and it is found that uncertain real estate values are fs the rate of interest. 3 BE 2 ay f i erected on L street between ist and 24 streets northeast by W.

On June 2, at 6:30 p.m., the steamer Mac- alester will make the usual trip to Mar- shall Hall and Indian Head, under the auspices of the Columbian Women of Co- lumbian University, the proceeds to be ap- plied to the purchase of apparatus for a gymnasium, which the college greatly needs. A-club of twenty mandolins and guitars, under the leadership of Mr. Yundt, will discourse on such such collegiate themes as “Upidee,” “Seeing Nellie Home,” etc. College songs will be heard above the steam whistle, the orange and blue will float from the masthead, and it will be generally evident that Columbian is aboard. ‘The friends of the university are cordially invited to add to the social and financial success of the evening by their presence. The excursion is under the management of the entertainment committee of the Co- lumbian Women, of which Mrs. D. K-. Shute, wife of Dr. Shute, dean of the medi- cal school, is the very efficient and ener- getic chairwoman. The other members of the committee are Mrs. A. P. Montague, wife of the dean of the college; Mrs. J. Hall Lewis, wife of the dean of the dental school, and Misses Duvall, Clark, Crew. Hazleton, Holbrook and Pierce. Tickets, 50 cents, can be had at Metzerott's, at the treasurer's office of the university cr at the boat. In case of rain the tickets will be good for another night. ‘The annual trip of Washington Company, No. 1, Uniform Rank, K. of P., to Pen Mar will be made on Decoration day. The company will have out a jolly crowd, and many friends of the organization will go as its-guests. The company will leave the B. an@ O. depot at 8:30 a.m. The trip will also include Gettysburg, making an ideal excursion for the day on which it is to take place. Nelson Company, No. 2, U. R., K. of P.. will make an excursion to Pen Mar and Gettysburg Decoration day, leaving by the Pennsylvania road at 8:30 a.m. The scenery and the interest attaching to a trip made to these historic places on Decoration Gay make it one of the most appropriate excursions for the day, and as Nelson Com- pany is an excellent host, there will be a large number of the friends of the organi- zation who will make the trip. The steamer Jane Moseley will enjoy a monopoly of the excursion business this season to Colonial Beach, as the manage- ment owns the two landing plers at the beach as well as the entire shore priv- ileges, including the extensive bathing houses, pavilions and the large hotel. Ar- rengements have been perfected whereby the Jane Moseley will assume the route as a permanent service of transportation. The Baltimore owners have expended several thousand dollars in the way of modern im- provements, and in her new dress the Moseley will please the fancy of excursion- ists. Dally trips will begin in a few days and continue regularly through the season, the owners pledging a ccnservative, moral and safe management and invite the co- eperation of the best class of excursion patronage. The Clyde pier will be the local point cf departure. The reguizr season at Marshall Hall will open Decoration day. The Saengerbund will make an excursicn to this pleasurable resort tomorrow, and this will be in reality the opening, but Decoration day will be the “official” openimg. The Macalester will run on her regular summer schedule both tomorrow and Monday, leaving here at 10 a.m. and 2:30 and 6:30 p.m., the boat leav- ing Sunday, however, at 11 o'clock in- stead of 10. The amusements at the Hall have been thcroughly overhauled and reno- vated and there is now at that resort as complete a collection of amusement feat- ures as one could wish to find. There will be a variety of special features included in the trip of the Saengerbund tomorrow, such as shooting and bowling matches, dancing on the green, band concert and the like, and the excursion will be erjoy- able in the extreme. Schroeder's excellent orchestra will be on hand Decoration day and tomorrew and will discourse a pleas- ing program cn both days, both in concert and for dancing in-the spacious pavilion. River View will open for its regular sum- mer season Decoration day. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz will make four trips on that day—10 a.m., and 2, 4 and 6:45 p. m— and will in ail probability be crowded on every trip. There have been several new amusement features set up at the View, but the “chute” will, from all indications, be the drawing card, as it has been ever since it was erected. “Shooting the chute” is certainly a novel and pleasing sensation and must be experienced in order to be appreciated. The chute, as well as the rest of the amusements to be found at the View, including the airy and cool dancing pavil- ion, will all be ready for the big crowds Decoration. day. The steamer T. V. Arrowsmith will make excursions to Colonial Beach on the fol- lowing days: Tonight at 6 o'clock, Sunday at 9 a.m. and Monday (Decoration day) at 9 a.m. A number of persons will take the trip tonight and remain over until Mon- day, making one of the most enjoyable trips afforded by the pleasure resorts on the Potomac. The Arrowsmith is a fast, comfortable boat and a trip made through her means will be enjoyable in the ex- treme. Those who have an idea of going to Mount Vernon Decoration day or any other day, in fact, should bear in mind that one of the quickest modes of going as well as one of the most pleasant, is by the Mcunt Vernon, Arlington and Alexan- dria electric road, which has its terminus in this city at 13% street and Pennsylvania avenue. The trains ride comfortably, and the schedule is convenient and one suited to those who may take the trip to the historic mansion on this appropriate day. One of the most enjoyable and popular ocean trips is an excursion from Baltimore to Philadelphia, Cape May, Atlantic City, Asbury Fark, New York and all the great seashore resorts on the Atlantic coast from Chesapeake bay up to New York, by one of the handsome steamers of the Ericsson Line. The boats are handsomely equipped and the service is of the very best. There is no more pleasant way to reach any of the famous seashore resorts from this vicinity than by this line. ‘The excursion of the Washington Athlet- ic Club to River View last night was a big succese, and both the steamers Harry Ran- dall and Sam’l J. Pentz were necessary to carry the crowd of over 2,200 persons who were the guests of the club. The steamer Pentz was announced to sail at 6:30 p.m., and by that time she had on her a comple- ment of nearly 1,400 persons. The steamer Randall, which left the wharf at 6:45 p.m., took on the rest of the excursionists. From her forward flag staff the burgee of the W. A. C. floated on the trip. A pleasant thue was spent at River View, and at 10:30 p.m. the two steamers started for home, and the last of the passengers were landed before 11:30 o’clock. The members of the club are greatly pleased at the success of their excursion. The club will give an all- day excursion to Riyer View on Monday, June 21, and expect another large crowd to attend. —Ee NEW TRAIN TO NASHVILLE. Only One Night Out via C. and 0.

FEATURES OF THE EVENT “There's going to be a hot time in the old town tonight,” sang a very enthusiastic and demonstrative contingent of West Washington, at very frequent intervals, yesterday afternoon, during the progress of the second day’s drilling in the company competitive contest of the High School Cadets at National Base Ball Park. There was. Company H, the cadet organization of the Western High School, is the prize com- pany of the regiment, so declared the board of United States army.officere acting as Judges, and great is the joy that prevails in Georgetown thereat. It is the second victory of Company H in three years, and the second time a Georgetown captain has earned the right_to wear the Allison Nailor iamond medal. About a fortnight hence, when the regi- ment holds its final parade and exhibition drill, Company H will be the recipient of Capt. Smoot. the greatest amount of applause. The first sergeant will carry, protruding from the barrel of his rifle, the prize flag of the regiment, to which will have been added a brand-new streamer, bearing the inscrip- tion in gold letters, “Company H, Ma: 1897." Each member of the company will bave a red ribbon, suitably inscribed, pin- ned to his blouse, andCaptain Smoot, in addition to other degorations, will proudly wear the elaborate NaHer medal. It Was a great Day. Yesterday was a great day for the high schools in general, sang the Western in particular. The scenemat National Park was a repetition of that ef Thursday, when the four companies from the Central High School faced the judgesy:with the exception that the number pfesent and the enthusi- asm were of far greaterimagnitude. Every seat on the mammoth grandstand was oc- cupied, and the bleaehers were by no means neglected. The foreign’ legations, national government, District and schoo: oficial circles were well,represented in thu gathering. It seemed from a glance thai the girls—bright, pretty, ribbon-bedecked girls—formed the greater portion of the vast assemblage. The afternoon was,by no means so quiet as was the preceding onc, fot the com- penies from the three high schools, other than the Central, were to take the field. Georgetown. took entire possession of a section of the right wing of the grand stand. There, beneath a huge streamer mezrked ‘‘Western High School; gathered faculty, pupiis, parents and friends. Al- most everybedy was supplied’ with a flag of red and white, with a green ‘‘H” across the field. All were fairly covered with ges. and ribbons. Prominently display- ed was a huge banner with the inscription, “Kamptown Soshul Klub,” a noted organ- ization of the boys of the Western school. Georgetown Contingent Loyal. The Georgetown contingent may truth- fully be described as loyalty personified. As early as 3 o'clock in the afternoon the rooters from the other side of Rock creek made themselves heard, and the demon- siration from their locality steadily in- creased in volume until the climax was reached by the announcement that Com- pany H had surpassed seven other’ com- panies cf the regiment in interpreting the drill regulations. Directly opposite the Georgetown section, in the left wing of the stand, were group- ed the stanch supporters of Companies F and G from the Eastern High School. It may be sufficient to say that the population of all Capitol Hill was condensed right there. In volume of sound emitted the Eastern detachment fell but a short dis- tance in the rear of its rival from George- town. Flags, bunting, streamers and rib- bons were by no means lacking, for the colors of Companies F and G were flaunted in the breeze as energetically as dainty little hands could manipulate them. ‘Near the Eastern delegation was a very animated congress of exhorters from the Business High School. Like Company B, the Business High School Company, E, has never won the flag. The friends of the or- ganization, however, journeyed to the park yesterday with the confidence of individ- uals to whom victory was an assured fact. Their conduct was in keeping with such a supposition. - The Shouters. Wher. the companies from Capitol Hill were going through the program the dem- orstration was wholly from the Capitol Hill detachment. The Business High School shouters were dotng all the work, while Company E marched and counter- marched. It seemed that. an insane asylum and a cyclone were in evidence while Com- pany H was under the scrutiny of the judges. The 2d Battalion was favored, as well as was the Ist, for as each company left the field the captain was presented with a huge bunch of flowers, tied with ribbons of the hue of the respective company colors. All things must reach an end, and finally the last company to.drill—_F of the East- ern—the winner of the drill last year—ex- ecuted the Tast nungber§-of the program. The judges retired to ,consult, and the eight companies ofj:cagets were formed for regimental drese parade.
