now that the pope's wishes have been so
concisely stated Father Mackln has announced

tournee of the orchestra of La Scala under

public favor, and now there is the "Roland

local artists who will take part in the
series stand at the head of the field in
their chosen lines. It demonstrates the
oft-repeated statement made by Mr.
Wrightson, under whose direction this
series of concerts will be given, that he
intended to make It possible for students
who came to the city, whether connected
with his institution or not, to hear the
greatest artists in the world at prices
within their reach. Civic pride should
prompt every true lover of music to take
an active Interest in this venture, and it
is a foregone conclusion that should the
series be a success this year that a still
greater effort on the part of the manager
will be made next season.

DRINKING MORE PULQUE.
Mexico City Gets Away With 800,000
Liters Every Day.
From the Mexican Herald.
The consumption of pulque In the City of
Mexico is rapidly Increasing, and the haul
lng of the drink is becoming one ot the
principal sources of revenue on a number
of lines entering the city.
On nearly every railroad entering the
city a special pulque train is run into the
city daily, and many of the regular freight
trains carry large numbers of cars containing
the popular drink.
During the month of June three railroads?the
Hidalgo, the Merlcan and the
Interoceanlc?carried into the city 50,861
barrels and 934 skins full of the pulque
gathered within a radius of sixty miles of
the city. The National, the Central and the
smaller lines brought in an amount prob
aoiy nan as tcreai.
Allowing that the population of the City
dl Mexico is 400,000 men, women and children,
the quantity of pulque brought Into
the city daily Is sufficient to supply almost
two liters to every Individual. Do you
drink your share? During the month of
June 14,1)83,290 liters of pulque were
brought into the city, as in one barrel there
are 230 liters and in one skin CO liters.
During each day of the month an average
of 748,2ttt liters was brought to the city.
The amount thus reckoned is exclusive
of the pulque brought to the city in wagons
and on muleback from the nearby haciendas.
Development of the Country Club.
From the New York Sun.
There has been a noteworthy revival of
interest in lawn tennis this season, and the
game is more popular than ever on the
private and club courts. An interesting
phase of the development of the country
clubs, nearly all of which owe their establishment
to golf, is the space given up to
lawq tennis. The players have never had
so many fine courts, while the country club
accommodations for players are superior to
inose proviaea at me ciuos organized solely
for lawn tennis In the early years of the
game's popularity In the United States.
Lawn tennis Is primarily the gai e of the
youthful and agile, while golf finds its
warmest supporters, aside from tne tournament
players, among those of mature years.
Many of the lawn tennis clubs of fifteen or
twenty years ago were usually cramped in
finances. Their buildings were of flimsy
construction. All their money was needed
to keep up the courts. The question of
funds does not worry the older men who
maintain golf, and, after a links, the first I
consideration to them is a comfortable club I
house. The next is to make the club popular
with the families of the. members,
when the need of lawn tennis courts, a
good restaurant and a ball room becomes
apparent. There must also be a garage, as
well as a carriage house.
The sports of winter demand attention
if a country club is to be worthy of the
name. The golfers, if they have a partiality,
incline to the line old Scotch game of
curling, but that all tastes may be pleased
there must be at the club a shooting box,
toboggan slide, a large pond for skating,
and courts for squash must be built. The
facility for winter practice with the racquets
in the squash courts should be especially
aDoreciated by the army of lawn
tennis players. As a supplement to outdoor
work the new opportunities should
hasten the coming of an American world's
champion at lawn tennis.

was ?for many years difficult to describe.
Indeed, most of these squares were
for a third of a century partly covered by
water at times, and were made up so much
of marsh land that it was difficult to delineate
what Was suitable for settlement.
This swamp land bordering the Tiber did
not even approximate firm land till the
center of C street was reached.
It was about this point that what became
iMiuwii an oiuice run unitcu wun ine waters
from Franklin Square and were ftierged
with those of the Tiber. When the waters
of the latter stream flowed Into the canal,
which was opened before 1820, the adjacent
ground was drained and utilized. That It
was not a very inviting section for residential
purposes is apparent, for few and
far between were the eligible places for
houses. These were oft the lines of the
avenue and on 10th street, north of C street.
Indeed, with the run, which until 1808 was
crossed by fording, but was later spanned
by a simple wooden bridge, and with little
improved roadway, there was not much to
Invite settlement and improvement until the
estannsnment ot tne center, or aiarsn,
market in 1802. Before this was authorized
and when there was uncertainty of the
completion of the canal, which was to supply
drainage, a few optimistic people had
made homes for themselves. And as the
ground south was reclaimed some dwellings
and business places appeared. When
In 1816 the canal was opened to navigation
much wood and produce was brought here
by boats. Schooners, sloops and longboats
were used in the trade and much of the
adjacent ground was given to wood yards.
Bordering rennByivama aveuue.
The square bordering Pennsylvania avenue
was platted for but six original lots,
and these running from avenue to street,
excepting that at the southwest corner of
the square had avenue frontage, but later
they were subdivided. Of that at the
northwest corner of the square, in about
the year 1801, James Ford, A. Robertson
and James Charlton were part owners, and
In the year following Zach Ferrel was
located there. Messrs. Ford, Robertson and
Ferrel were in the original listing of property
in 1802 charged for improvements $150,f'J'X)
and $300, respectively, those of Robertson
being doubled, and the latter increased
$200 by 1807. About this time the ground in
the square had been reduced from 12 to 8
cents per "foot. Though no Improvements
were charged to Mr. Charlton. It is known
that before the war of 1812 he had a
grocery store at or near the corner of 10th
street, and there is a tradition that there
were times wnen rivermen .rowea meir
boats under the store, which was on piles.
They entered through the floor to make
their purchases.
Mr. John Hereford purchased lots 2 and
3,bordering on Sluice run, in 1802 and there
established a brewery, the building being
valued at $1,000. It was later increased to
$1,200. This was the scene of a fire in
February, 181i?, the loss being between
$1,000 and $2,000. Thomas Rates after this
carried on a soap and candle factory here
for ten years or more, his sons removing to
G street east of 7th street, where for half
a century as Bates & Son and Bates & Bro.
the business was continued.
Valuation Increases.
By 1824 the ground had greatly appreciated
In value. 50 cents per foot being the
basfa. Capt. Peter Lenox had a brick building
at the corner of 9th street valued at
$3,500, in which Michael Shanks was then
carrying on the china, glass and crockery
business. Westward was the residence and
grocery of Mrs. Cana, widow of Francis
Cana, who established the business, assessed
at $2,800; Christian Bucbly, father of
an undertaker well known In after years,
was assessed for $500 on his dwelling and
confectionery store; two brick dwellings belonging
to Alexander Kerr of the Bank of
Metropolis.'assessed at $2,800 each; one to
John Quincy Adams of $2,700 value. In
which Robert Eastman, a carpenter, lived,
having his shop on C street, and Mrs. Eastman's
millinery establlsfiment. Mr. Ford's
property had appreciated to $550, Mr. Ferrers
to $1,000 and Mr. Robertson's to $450.
Besides those named above there were then
on the square John Cunningham. a printer
and temperance advocate; Maria Byrne, a
milliner, who bought property about this
time at the corner of 10th street: Wlll'irn
Douglas, a carpenter: Joseph Ward, a tailor;
Thomas Warner, a shoemaker; Mrs. Douglas,
a dressmaker, and Mrs. Taylor, who
kept a boarding house at i)th street.

Further Improvement Noted.
In 1833 there was still further improve[
ment. Capt. Lenox had replaced his ?1.500
property at 9th street by buildings assessed
at $13,000, and the basis for taxation on
the ground was from CO to 75 cents per foot.
John Quincy Adams' assessment was $3,.">00;
Mr. Kerr, $2,800 on each of two houses;
Cana's heirs. $2,500; Mr. Charlton, $1,500;
Mr. Buchly, $500; John McNerhany, $3,300;
Capt. Lenox's buildings on 10th an<l C

Ford, $2,000; Robertson's heirs, $500, and
Maria Kyrne, ai iuui anu wits avenuu,
$2,000. In this decade Mrs. Byrne and Mrs.
Hamilton were milliners here, and Columbus
Alexander and Samuel Stellinus had acquired
ground here. Later Lemuel J. Middleton,
the popular commander of the National
Blues, was at the !tth street corner
as a grocer, and James Skirvlng, dealer in
stoves, etc., at the 10th street corner, where,
In the forties, Thomas L. Potter established
a grocery.
On the north side of the avenue dress
goods were to be found by the ladies, and
the south side furnished the bonnets and
trimmings in the forties and fifties; "in
fact, here was a settlement of milliners
and dressmakers. Among the milliners recalled
are Mrs. Lucretia Allen, Mrs. Morrell,
Mrs. E. Lamphfer, Mrs. E. Sexsmith,

kept embroideries and trimmings. The
dressmakers included Mrs. Douglas, Miss
A. M. Clarke and Mrs. Owner, on the avenue,
and on 10th street were Mrs. R. Best
ar.d Mrs. Poulton; at the corner of 10th
and C streets was Mrs. Barker, who conducted
a bonnet bleachery. There were
also on the avenue L,. J. Denham's dyeing
establishment, and William Umfleld an?l
C. Beikely were in the same business in the
fifties. At the corner of 10th street over
the grocery was Shubert's mult factory,
corner of itth street; the boarding honses of
Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. HU1, Mrs. Wilson and
Mrs. Miller. There was a physician. Dr.

Alex Prevost's. contractor, residence;
George Miller, silver plater, and Marshall's
carriage repository, after Stratton's auction
rooms, at the 9th street corner. Later
what are now the Salvation Army quarters
was the Chesapeake saloon, conducted by
M. R. Combs, the second story in the
early part of the war being used aa the ,
armory of the Washington Light Infantry,
then In the service of the United States.
Some of the Residents.
William F. Bayly, a leading avenue stationer,
father of C. B. Bayly of the EllW
music store, and long a city father and alderman;
Anthony Best, who engaged in the
manufacture of envelopes by hand for several
government departments, afterward
uaincr marhlnppv fnmillp? in which
were Mr. Shafer of Harris & Shafer. Jewelers,
and F. C. Bangs, the veteran actor,
and Mrs. Edwards were on 10th street,
and Mr.- Wright, a hatter and furrier, and
William Doniphin, who had several cows,
were on C street.
Much of the square south of the above
described was. like it, of six original lots,
and those were owned by Thomas l^aw.
W. H. Doraey and the Burns estate In the
early days, when the corporation reduced
a M-eent valuation of the land to half a cent
a foot. James Moore, who was a prominent
dealer In hacon and lard as early as 1H10.
ownod the eastern portion of the square
on which is now located the Majestic Theater.
and several years after the west end
of the square. In 1824 the value of the
ground was from 10 to 23 cents. The theater
site was owned by Col. Peter For^e.
who had on it a brick building valued at
$800. The lower portion was used in part
for shoomaking and other shops, and here
Mr. James Johnson, an ex-lieutenant of
police, was employed about the year 1830.
The upper portion was the coach shop of
Mr. Peck for a long period.
Later the original building made way for
a larger structure, which In the late forties
became the coach factory of Haslup &
Weedon. and a portion of the ground floor
was given to the manufacture of horseshoe
nails. Subsequently the upper portion became
a gymnasium, first under the management
of Prof. Sharretts and next. Prof.
Jardine, both of New York, and for a few
seasons it was well patronized by the lovers
of athletic sports. Then William Marshall
had a carriage repository there and
later it became a- theater. Immediately In
front of this bunding was the favorite
ground for the circus performances in the

Commission Business Established.
On Louisiana avenue about 1S30 one of the
dealers In fruits and vegetables In the market
took a store room and engaged In the
commission business, being the first of that
now numerous class. He was known as
French John at first, but later as Cheap
John, and he met with such success that
he surrendered his market stall to other
parties and stuck to his store.
Mr. Moore built on I^oulsiana avenue near
10th street two frame houses, conducting
the bacon business In one. These were In
June, is; 40, destroyed by Qfe.^find were
replaced by brick buildings, Mr. Moore oc

houses of Mrs. Rtcker. Mrs. Donn and Mrs.
Narden, which flourished, being favorite
stopping places for those engaged in the
market. Henry L. Davidson, long a constable,
and Mrs. S. J. Hutchins, a dressmaker,
lived on 10th street, and at the corner
of Louisiana avenue and that street
was the American Organ, published in the
Interest of the native American or knownothing
party in the fifties, with Vespasion
Ellis as editor.
Abont the center of Louisiana avenue was
located a pump of spa water, which was
regarded as of highly medicinal quality,
and it was carried to all parts of the city,
frequently crowds of people waiting their
turn.
West of the Market.
It was many years before the square bordering
the canal directly west of the market
became of use for business purposes.
Thomas Law was an early investor, being
the owner of four of nine lots In 1802. when
the ground rate of 3 cents was reduced to
half a cent. In the thirties the valuation
was from ."55 to 50 cents, and the few buildings
upon it were owned by Messrs I?aw
and Van Ness. One of these was valued
at $400, facing the canal, in which S. W.
Handy had a hat factory. This was burned
ir. November, 1S40. . There was a valuation
of $1,000 on two frame houses facing I>ouisiana
avenue near Sluice run. A willow tree
was a prominent object here, and far and
near the term "Willow Tree" was the recognized
name for the locality. The -vest I
lot was owned by Gen. R. C. Weigh man
and Richard Smith, with the exception 4 a
small portion leased to John P. Ingle. On
fhis lot in the forties was Snyder's blacksmith

Brick Houses Erected.
In the 40's the wood and coal yards of
Joseph Fugitt and John B. Boone were on
IHh street. In the aU's the market house
had led to the location of some stores. Some
brick houses had been erected on the corner
of !?th street and Louisiana avenue In
which stores were located. John H. Snnines
& Company, grocers, were here mamyears
and others soons followed. West of
this was a small hall used for some time
as a practice room for Joe Marcolettl's
band, and about 1N37 the central guard
house was erected by the corporation.
That thefe were some queer characters to
be found here need not be said to many of
the older ones. There was one known as
"Nosey." for his prominent na^al appendage,

THE HORSE OF YOKE.
Was Thirty Feet in Height and Was
Hard to Mount.
From tlie Olerelund I'luln Dealer.
Out In Wyoming a lot of scientific grubbers
liave unearthed the fossil remains of
a horse thirty feet long and more Uian
thirty feet high. The grubbers seem to have
pieced the horse together without any comment.
and they don't offer a word "f information
concerning either his genexlofcy
or his track record.
A horse thirty feet long would appear to
be a lot of iiorae. If he belonged to llw
cave man the latter certainly had hi* hands
full. A horse so tall that a thirty-foot ladder
became necessary when his bridle was
to be put on might well be called Uio
pride of the stable?although no ordinary
stable would begin to accommodate him.
If the cave man hadn't any ladder. a::d
couldn't borrow one. the next best thing
was to climb a tree. Then try to Imagine'
htm shinning up a tall palm with t!iv? iieivy
bridle on his back, only to ilnd" when he
attained the right altitude that the horso
had moved beyond reach and was peacefully
browsing on the tall grass of the
Jungle!
Of course a thirty-foot horse rouid l>e
expected to cover much more groun i than
the ordinary animal of the same bre?d even
at a walk. And if he took It into his

of white paper in the roadway the chance*
are that he jumped clear over into the next

As a war horse the thirty-footer must
have been a startler. When he .et out a

terror. When he champed his li!l rnd
pawed the ground, the very hills sliud b-red.
When he switched Ills tail the hireling

And then think of the nightmare th.it

He certainly was a wonder. It is a gr< it '

TRAITS OF FIGHTING BULLS.
Easily Managed When Massed Together?Some
Have the Evil Eye.
From (hp Nineteenth Ontury.
In Spain accidents to bull fighters are
of frequent occurrence, and It is Interesting
to s?e the hero of many fights swimr
Into the chapel attached to the bull rins:
and kneel before the effigy of the Virgin
Mary before entering the arena.
Bull fighting is the national pastime
Boys play at it in the gutters, and there
are bull fights for amateurs all over tha
country, al which only two-year-old bul!:?
are used, r.nd young and old descend Into
the arena. Astounding is the enthusiasm.
Interesting, too. is the psychology ni
hulls. When herded together they are
docile enough. and It is a picturesque
sight to see the bulls brought into the
paddock prior to the fight, through the
streets of the city when all are sleeping.
A cow trained to the business, with a !>>'!
around her neck, is all that is necessary,
and the bulls follow quietly behind her.
In the plains where the bulls are reared
men on horses manage them quit* <csilv
so long as they are massed together.
Three bulls In the ring together would !>
usales* for a fight, but each bull separately
will fight to the death.
Bulls literally see red. Were It not that
a bull will always dash at anything ? ???i
the men in the ring would have no clinnci
whatever. Occasionally bulls have wiiat
s called the evil eye. and remain IndifOr- ,
unt to the red capa extended to them, and
then tbc list of easu.iUics la generally
high.
Sometimes a bull which has shown prodigious
power and fight Is pardoned by
the populace. A cow, kept for the purpose.
is then sent Into the arena, and at w
sight of her the bull forgets man :;nJ
the fury of the battle and gently trot-*
behind to the paddock, as meek as my
heifer.
Many are the curiosities about built,
which sometimes refuse to attack a particular
horse, and when a man ts down,
motionless, disdain even to paw him.
Some bulls make instinctively for imi?
man and will chase him all around ths
ring, leaping the barrier If he vaults over
it, and if he falls will kneel upon nis
body and gore him to shreds. There Is no
