Annual Meeting OF the Richmond
Railway Company.

The stockholders of this company met in
annual session yesterday in The company's
office. The meeting was called to order by
the appointment of DIR. j. l.. Williams as
president. Mr.. G. Waldrop was elected
secretary. 1t was ascertained that quorum
was present.
The President read mis- annual report
He stated that he had come here year ago
Il stranger to our people, and occupied the
very unpleasant position Of standing at the
head of q business which yielded little or
no returns to the parties interested. 1t had
not up to that time been a paying institu-
ton.
The company had purchased during the
year twenty horses, for which they paid
$3,152.50.
IL was thought best during the year to
reduce the prices of tickets when sold in
packages as follows: For 100, Sc for 80,
$50, &c.; and he thought the receipts had
been increased by the reduction.
From careful examination of the daily
receipts, the Sunday running has paid as
we'll as any other day Of the week, and
that from about the 1st Of April to 1st of
November the Hollywood extension yields
q fair proportion OF the receipts.
The report concludes az follows: The
President has found the Superintendent,
operate with him in the running of the
road, and in the purchase Of supplies OBJ
serving the strictest economy in all depart
ments. And we think the horses, consd-
ering the extreme hard service, having no
rest on Sundays, show, under the care and
management OF Col. Richardson, that they
have been properly cared for.
The Treasurer, MIR. Walthall, then read
his report, showing the following account
of receipts and disbursements
