How would the elevated ground, now j .tlniost entirely unimproved, due north of the Capitol about one mile, just beyond T street, bounded b> Lincoln avenue on the west and 2d street on the east, answer for the purpose in view?

A more beautiful site from a topograph ical standpoint cannot !><? found in or near our city, and its location, almost at the terminus- of Lincoln avenue which. a? has been most wisely suggested, might be made part of a great "Lincoln way," leading to the Gettysburg battlefield ? seems to make this point particularly de airable.
