A WEEK’S RECORD a Ground has been broken at the séuthwest corner of New Hampshire avenue and S street, and Mr. John S. Larcombe, the con- traetor, has made arrangements for the erection there of a fine residence for Mr. J. Maury Dove. According to the design which has been prepared by Mr. L. Norris, architect, the house will be a pleasing ex- ample of the Romanesque style of archi- tecture. It will be built of red brick, with stone used sparingly as trimmings, and all the lines will be exceedingly plain and sim- ple, and the entire structure will have a solid, substantial appearance, and will give an impression of quiet elegance. There will be practically no ornamentations, and the effect architecturally will be made to de- pend exclusively upon the harmony of all the parts of the building and its adaptabili- ty for the purposes intended. For a city house it will be unusually spa- cious, and, in addition, will have lawns on all sides. The lot has a frontage of 5 feee on New Hampshire aveaue and 11 feet on S street, and Its general shape is that of an acute angle, containing about 5,206 square feet. The principal front will be on New Hampshire avenue, where there wili be a stone porch. Walls Eighteen Inches Thick. The main entrance will be marked by a stone arch, and at the side there will be a window. The solid character of the walls —18 inches thick from the foundation through the two stories to the top of the hugh roof—will allow for the depth at the Window openings which add so much to | the appearance of buildings. At each cor- rer there will be rounded projections, and the roof over the entire structure in the simplicity of its outlines will be in har- mony with the design. It will make an appropriate finish to the structure, and will show what good ef- fects can be produced by a roof that is properly designed. The main entrance will open into a large hall, from which access will be had to the library on one side and the drawing room on the other, and then back of these rooms will be the dining room and breakfast room, the former being the largest one in the house, having di- mensions 20 by 43 feet. An Irregular Lot. The kitchen will be in the basement, and there will be a back stairease to~the top of the house. There will be seven cham- bers and three bath rooms on the second floor, and above will be the attic and-serv- ants’ quarters. The plans of the two floors show an interesting study of adap- tation to the lines of an irregular lot so as to produce a symmetrical arrangement of the rooms. This is especially noticeable in the second floor, where the rooms can be arranged in suites or shut off entirely from the other parts of the house. The interior finish of the house will be simple in detail as is the exterior design. Monastery and Chapel. ‘The foundations for the monastery which is to be erected near the Catholic Univer- sity are being laid, and as the lines are drawn showing the ground to be covered vigitors to that locality appreciate better the size of the proposed building than is possible by descriptions. The monastery itself surrounds an area of 200 feet square, with an interior court 110 square feet. Adjoining this structure there will be a chapel 140 feet square. Yellow brick is to be used in the construction of both of these structures and the style of architzcture is Italian. The design was drawn by an Ital- jan firm of architects by the name of Aris- tides Leonor! & Co. There will be a cloister around the interior court of the monastery, and on each floor ther> will be a double tier of cells or rooms, with @ Corridor be- ,; tween. Not Common in This Country. Both structures will be plain and unpre- tentious, but the church or chapel will be interesting as a reproduction of a style of ecclesiastical architecture which is not common in this country, although it is found in Europe. The ground plan of the church is that of a Latin cross, the altar i being at the end of the long arm. There will be practically no aisles, as the space will be occupied by small chapels. In the center of the church there will be a dome, supported on arches springing from four piers. The altar will be in what might be called the mezzanine story, some fifteen feet above the main floor of the church, and will be approached by steps. In the basement there will be an under- ground chapel, where services for the dead will be held. The nave will be 38 feet wide and about 110 feet deep. The contractor is Mr. John 8. Larcombe. F Street Property. During the past week the building at 627 F street northwest was sold at public sale by Thomas Dowling & Co., auctioneers. The price obtained was $18,500. The prop- erty has a frontage of 26 feet 71% inches and a depth of 121 feet, and is improved by a good building. The rate per foot for the entire property was about $5.42. A Basinces Building. Mr, Frank Ruppert has had plans *pre- Fared by Julius Wenig, architect, for re- modeling premises No. 1021 7th street northwest, and building an zddition in the rear, which will be 25 by 50 feet. It will be three stories in height, with cellar, and the material used will be brick and fron. Steam heut will be used, and there will be an elevator, tiled bath room and vestibille. Cottage at Chevy Chase. The samo architect has prepared plans for a cottage to be built at Chevy Chase. It will be two stories in height, with attte, and will be 22 by 32 feet. Wood and brick will be the material employed, and there will be hard-wood finish, electric lights, tiling and hot-air heat. Some New Buildings. Benjamin W. Guy will erect two brick dwellings, 18 by 35 feet at 23 and 25 8th strect southeast. They will be three sto- ries and basement in height, with press brick, flat and one-half mansard slate roof and full bay windows. A brick dwelling is to be erected at 730 7th street northwest by Elizabeth Scher- ger. It will be three stories in height, 19 by 74 feet, with buff press-prick front. Hot water or steam will be used in heating. Mr. H. T. Holm fs to erect a frame dwell- ing on Milwaukee street, Brookland. -It will be two siories in height, with cellar and attic. A row of three houses at 1802-4-6 Ver- mont avenue, and one at 1846 18th street, 20 by 40 fect, with cream press-brick fronts, flat tin roofs and full bay windows, will be built by Mr. W. A. Kimmel.

METHODS oF TRAINING meas x When, next Monday aftérnoon, the thira spring meeting of the “Washington Jockey Club is opened at the Bening track, and the 1898 season of legitimate racing is in- augurated in the east, few people will, as they look upon the high-bred animals as they canter to the starting post, realize that the condition and ‘appearence of each horse resulted from month of. unremitting toil and°care on the part of his train@s: Yet during the time sinee thé close last fall of the. racing season of. 1887 each animal has never been out of thé sight of his trainer for more than a few hours at a time, ané not for one moment out of the trainer's mind. Indeed, not a hqrge’ of all those which will start during the two weeks’ meeting'to commerce Monday but will rep- resent such care and thougit as few chil- dren even have during that’ time received frem loving parents. ‘: The training of a race horse, as prac- ticed today, is a stiPendpus undertaking, and is hardly less‘expensive than laborious. Each horse in training tepréfents the thought and care ingidental to hundreds of years spent in breeding for speed and erdurance. Not one’but can claim @ pedi- grde almost as jong and quite as jealously recorded as the crowned Heads ot Europe. Hach animal, too, possesses an intelligence which only results from the blue blood and training of his ancestors, and which to the close observer can be ‘found in the clean- cut lines;'the delicate but powerful frame, the muscles of steel and ig the almost hu: man eyes.of. the animal. At tho close of the racing season last Patt those Hors 9 which were hot intended for THE RACE TRACK. the race course. Then, later on, the stable boys were placed cn the backs of their re- spective charges, ard, still warmly clothed, the horses were walked and ever so slowly cantercd around the track. As the days grew warmer and longer, s0 grew the work of the horses, ani at last they were strip- ped of their clothing and sent around the track at a rate of speed which from day to ady was gradually increased, until they were fit and ready to face the starter. Not every horse, of course, stood even the prelimirary preparation, for it is this preliminary work which éither raises the hopes of the treirers or dashes them to the ground. It is a course which either Stable Boys. demonstrates that the horse will stand all that may be later esked of him, or shows that he cannot be made fit, and as the work progresses this fitness or unfitness is, Of course, more conclusively shown. Those horses which cannot stand the pre- liminary training ere either turned out for or sold or given another long rest, to be taken up later in the season or the next spring, as the case may be, and once more subjected to the trial. Those cid are either bought for purposes or for domestic work, or are purchased by horsemen for racirg on tracks on which perfect condition and speed afe not so sm- peratively required as on the legitimate courses.
