the prize of gold headed cane, the "Phoeuix boys"
having sold larger number of tickets to the con-
cert than any other company In the city. When
the award was made,a deputation ofiNo. 3 Compa-
the members making very handsome little speech
at the time, which was loudly applauded by those
present After the close OF the concert, the depu.
tation repaired to the residence of JOHN j. Fry,
Esq, Foreman of their company, and presented
him with the cane, which he accepted In the most
happy manner. Mr.. Fry is not only modest, un-
assuming gentleman, but an excellent fireman, and
enjoys not only the respect and confidence but the
love OF his company to a very high degree. His
corps knows him well, and we are pleased to see
that they appreciate his exalted worth.

therefore become necesRryfo haul empty
oars all the way nom Richmond. 70 miles 70
tr.nsport plaster and gunno perhaps only ~
to 90 miles, while the charge in such case
would only be the same as for hauling sun
lar distance from Richmond, the cars peins
Ia place without any cost of hauling empty.
From proper consideration OF 'ns set
alone, Il win be seen that the accommoda-
ton of the Alexandria business going west
ward for short distances gives the Central
Company less profit than transportation from
Richmond for similar distances and ut SINH
lar rates.
The statement now made should satisfy
AIexandria that the charges on the Central
road are not designed to discriminate against
her trade; and, whatever may be the public
impression in her community. that the Di-
rectors Of the Central road have never op
posed an equitable and mutual interchange
of cars. 1t may be best, however, at this
point. in order to guard against any misun-
derstanding, to say that, if the Alexandria
Company expect their cars to cross the noun
tain track, they must construct them with
the same strength and general arrangement
of safeguard which the engineer of the
Central Railroad requires on the cars of that
road. t
