BIG REALTY OPERATIONS IN MANY PARTS OF CITY ARE NOW UNDER WAY
TRUSTEES DECIDE
NEW DORMITORY
Third Big Building, of Tudor
Design, to Be Erected Soon
011 Campus
Architecturally Tudor, the second
new dormitory to be erected by the
Harrlsburg Academy on its attractive
grounds above the city wilt be similar
in design and size to the Seller hall,
' »p which an informal reception was
'ld on Thursday. The board of
1 listens reached a final conclusion
yesterday and it is understood that
the third addition to the Academy's
group of educational buildings will
I « located on the campus south of the
main building, between Second street
and the river.
Zantinger. Medary and Horle. of
Philadelphia, havf drawn i> the plans
and work will • begun OB them at
once. They are the same architects
who built the John Y. Boyd Me
morial hall in South street.
One of the features of the new
building, which will accommodate 20
additional boarding pupils, as the
Telegraph said on Wednesday last,
will be the diningroom for 200 boys
which may tie converted into an audi
torium, when finished, to seat 600
poo vile.
The rapid growth of Harrisburg'e
preparatory school is a healthy In
dication of what is to become in the
years that are before it. The inter
est that was shown by the hundreds
of alumni and friends of the institu
tion at the housewarming of the new
dormitory and the opening of the
lonian D. Gilbert Library a few days
ago indicates how eagerly Harrisburg
and the country roundabout is watch
ing the progress of the Academy to
ward a good that will place it sec-
ond to none in the State.

of Biscay, when a submarine fired 60
shots at her at a range of 50 yards.
The steamer immediately brought her
big gun into action and hit the sub
marine several times and, it is be
lieved. destroyed it.
Three hours laler another sub
marine fired a torpedo, hut missed the
Clan Macfadyen by a few feet.

WHY THEY LIKE TO
LIVE IN BELLEVUE PARK
' '
A GLIMPSE OF THE BEAUTIFUL OAK WOODS IN BELLEVUE PARK
One who lias built a home and lives in Bellevue Park, says:
''We like Bellevue to live in because it is a retired spot away
from the bustle and turmoil, smoke, dust and congestion of the
city, yet within twenty minutes of the business center. Built on
good-sized plots, our houses are flooded with sunshine and air
and surrounded by spacious lawns and gardens.
"We like Bellevue because of its beautiful park reservations —
romantic walks, winding driveways, miniature lakes, rippling
brooks, magnificent towering oaks, tennis courts, etc., at the dis
posal of our families.
"We like Bellevue because of the wonderful health-giving ad
vantages it affords our children, with its breezy hills for kite fly
ing. broad grassy fields, antl sunny slopes for other sports _so dear
to "Young America." W'e do not believe there is a healthier
place in Pennsylvania for boys and girls.
"Then, too. we like Bellevue for the ever-changing exquisite
beauty of its foliage —from the tender greens of Spring, growing
heavier and richer and more varied as the season advances, to the
brilliant reds, yellows and browns of Autumn. To the lovers of
nature this feature is an ever-present joy.
•
"In short, we believe all the other householders share our feel
ing that Bellevue Park as an ideal home spot is unequaled in Har
risburg, and not surpassed anywhere."
