A large audience gathered to listen to the paper on "Samuel Nicolls Smallwood, Merchant and Mayor", by Mr. Allen C. Clark, President of the society, being one of a series of papers on the Mayors of Washington. Annual reports, and election of Officers and two Managers, followed. 206th Meeting. February 20, 1923. A capacity audience was present at this meeting, when Mr. Charles Moore, Chairman of the Fine Arts Commission, gave an illustrated lecture on "The City of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln", the title being quoted from a saying of the late President Roosevelt in speaking of the National Capital. The lecture showed what the Commission has planned and is slowly accomplishing in beautifying this city, and pointed out the great foresight of the early city fathers in planning for the future. Mr. Clark described the laying of the corner-stone of the Capitol as it actually occurred, in contrast to the engravings of that event. 207th Meeting. March 20, 1923. The subject of the paper for this meeting was "The First Railroad Into Washington, and Its Three Depots", by Washington Topham, a very valuable chapter in the history of the District of Columbia, showing great thoroughness of investigation and knowledge of the subject. Photographs of the three stations of the B. & O. Railroad were also exhibited. "Private Dalzell" then read his "Reminiscences" of "reconstruction days" when he was a newspaper correspondent here, and giving accurate pictures of life in Washington in Civil War days. The paper was full of humor, wit and pathos. Mr. Dalzell received those present and was made an honorary member of the society. 208th Meeting. April 17, 1923. As this was a "Lincoln Evening" a large framed photograph of President Lincoln, taken by Brady, was placed on a pedestal, draped with the national colors. Mr. Clark read the paper, entitled "Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, Our Neighbors", depicting their life while Lincoln was in Congress and lived at Mrs. Spriggs' boarding house, on the site of the present Library of Congress, and later, while President of the United States. The paper was in two parts, and during the intermission Mr. John C. Proctor read two poems, one on Fort Stevens, being inspired by the proposed sending away of the statue of Lincoln after its removal from the front of the Court House several years ago, and the efforts made to have the statue placed at Fort Stevens, where Lincoln stood during Early's raid on Washington. The other poem dealt with the numerous stories attributed to Lincoln. Delightful music was rendered by Mrs. Melville D. Lindsay, who sang songs from Lincoln's favorite operas. Mrs. J. Lester Brooks also sang "Dixie", adopted by Lincoln as a national air. 209th Meeting. May 15, 1923. A list of 39 new members of the society was read, followed by vocal selections by Mrs. S. Elizabeth Kerr. |
