lldav from the Chesapeake and Ohio depot
to the Exchange Hotel was drawn by four
gray horses.
Colonel Holiday speaks well. His voice
is clear and mclodious. He is quiet and
unpretending man, and, though very dig

pie report that they had cold rain hut no

large delegation of Richmond military met
their visiting brethren at Gordonsville,
escorted them here, and propose to take
care of them during their stay, and see
that they have good time.
Among the many handsome turnouts
which were in the procession yesterday az

a new and unique three-seated wagon, with
the name OF Chaffin, Staples & Co., real
estate agents, painted upon it in large let
tiers. 1t was built by Mr.. r. Fl. Bosher,
the carriage manufacture Of this city.
