o!supporiers. There IL some probability that
crew from college In Pennsylvania will
be here, and 1t is certain that we will have
one from each Of the cities Of Baltimore and
Washington to enter into contest between
themselves independent OF the Association.
OF course their supporters will be numer-
Gus. and considering that great numbers Of
country people will attend Richmond at that
time do not think my estimate OF twenty
or twenty-five thousand Is too large. II
seems to me that the businessmen could
afford each TO give a few dollars to an asso-
citation which will draw 50 large crowd TO
their city. Be little public-spirited, and
II you can look only to your interest, look a
little farther than your fingers can reach to
draw In dollar, and you will lind many.

The REDFORD BENEFIT.-Twice during
the lifetime of the late John ID. Redford
did a generous Richmond respond to ap-
peals for aid, enabling him to seek relief
and restoration Of health in more south
ern climate. Now, since his death, bis
friends feel called upon to make another
appeal in behalf OF his wife and little chill
dren, left almos' pennless and needing the
necessaries of life. They know they will
not appeal in vain, and they beg a crowded
house when the musical treat Pinafore, rs
advertised, will be rendered by his musical
friends for the benefit Of his family. lie
was liberal with his talent in his life, re-
spending freely to every charitable call. BE
kind TO his memory, and aid those whom
he loved and has lett unprovided for.
1t is a small individual contribution asked
for. In return, a rich musical entertain
ment by our best artists will be presented.
The opera will be presented on the I'd OF

"OLIvETTE AT THE THEATRE LAST
NIGHT.-The Theatre was filed for the firsI
time since L ent with brilliant and fashion
able audience last evening, The occasion be-
ing the initial presentation in Richmond OF
Andrau's comic opera "Ollyette." The
opera was performed with decided spirit by
Ford's company, and the audience seemed
thoroughly delighted with it.
The work is bright and sparkling, and
full Of clever concerts, both as regards the
score and ibretto. But for the many
American hits and original gags introduced
we should say the opera as presented is in
iensely FfeDcby, there being several touches
OF the Can.Can introduced. The plot is
filed with intrigue and funny situations, in
which the counterpart which Captain DE
Merimac finds OF himself IN the disguise OF
his nephew Valentine is well wrought, and
reminds one very forcibly Of the Two Dro-
mios in Sbakspeare's Comedy OF Errors"
The company, as a whole, has average
ability. They act and sing together espe-
cially well, and show much spirit in stage
business. But, with the exception OF Miss
Amy Gordon, there are no decidedly good
voices among them. The following is the
cast: Captain De Merimac, OF the man.o'-
war CormoraDt, Mr.. George w. Denham
Valentine, Mr.. c. +. Lang; Duo Des Ifs,
Mr.. Charles II. Drew; Coquelicot, his
foster brother, Mr.. III. G. Curley (;
Marvejol, Mr.. Charles HOgendorp; BOus-
sole, Mr.. Louis Carlberg; Loup de Mer.
Mr.. George Ro.eman; Olivette, Miss
Blanche Chapman; Bathelde. Countess OF
Rousilon, in love with Valentine, Miss
Amy Gordon; VelOutine, Miss May Stem
bier: Mous'iqW, Miss Mamie Tay lor.
Miss Chapmln made decidedly bright
and yivaciOus OlIvette; while Miss Gordon,
who has a thoroughIy-1 soprano OF
high register, sang her numbers Of the
"Couutcss with much care and telling
effect.
The acting Of Messrs. Denham and Curley
was capital, and convused the audience
throughout the opera. The presence Of Mr..
Charles Drew carried old theatre-goers back
to the pleasant recolectiOnS OF the palmy
days OF the Oates Company. His voice
is somewhat worn, but he is still the
handsome and graceful little actor as
of old. In the popular song OF the
opera, "The Torpedo and the Whale
the company made tremendous hi, and
having been encOred upon it four distinct
times, some were 50 insaliate and wanting
in taste as to loudly call for still another
repetition.
The opera will be repeated tonight.

SANITARY SUGGEsTIoN.-Ju Of the
future by the past, and without any refer
ence to particular weather prophecies, we
have before Us the prospect that The past
Indictment winter and peculiarly changeable
spring will be followed by a sudden burst
Of yerv hot weather. In word, we are
likely TO have winter one dSy and summer
the next. Such change Of temperature
will surely be a provoking cause OF much
disease. and should be prepared for by ex-
traordinary efforts on the part OF our Board
of Health. The streets should be thorough
Iy cleaned and all garbage removed. but
more especially the numerous ponds IN the
suburbs should be either filled or drained.
This is one OF the healthiest cities in the
world Let Us keep it so by using energy
and forethought.

orders, Good Shepherds OF Bethlehem,

and Union Benevolent Star, with few
Others in conveyances, celebrited Yesterday
by procession, speaking. and other exer-
cses the passage OF the fifteenth amendment
TO the Constitution OF the United States.
The whole procession probably numbered
two hundred. and were preceded by band,
which did not discourse, probably from
want Of practice, the most artisticaI or in
SpirIng strains. There was a wagon filled
with thiity-eight girls TO represent each State
Of the American Union. The Goddess OF
Liberty, possibly owing 10 the inclemency
OF the weather, wore woOllen shawl OF
sangunary hue and color, and that some
times respondent. often unenviable, but on
this occas % rather dlnev, specimen OF head
gear known as q crown. Climatic inilu-
ences were against display Of enthusiasm
but quite a crowd accompanied the process
sion on its line Of march. The line was
formed at Jackson'S Garden. corner of See
Ond and Leigh streets. After gong through
various streets the procession was halted in
rear OF Monroe Park. and there listened to
an address pertinent 10 the occasion from
Lawyer William &. Roane. Minor remarks
were also submitted by several local speak
ers OF repute in cOlored circles. The pro-
cession was finally dismissed on Broad
street near the City Hall. No unpleasant
incidents marked the occasion, though il
was noticeable that the celebration was re-
garded by most OF the colOred people as
more matter OF form than feeling.

Death Of Councilman Wdlker.-Mr. Will
liam II. Walker, member OF the City Coun.
Gil from the Third Ward, died at his resi-.
dence, on the corner OF Eleventh aud Balm.
bridg, streets, yesterday about 12 O'Clock,
after an Illness OF several days. He had
been suffering from kidney affection for
some time past, and was taken suddenly
i'll last Saturday, and grew rapidly worse
until his death. Last Thursday he was out
attending 10 his business, and was appa-
rently well. Mr.. Walker came to this city
from Chesterfield about twelve years ago,
and was engaged in building and doing
general contracting, aud has done consid
srable work in that line in this city.
Last Nav he was elected TO the City Coun-
ell to oil the vacancy Occasi0ned by the re-
signatiOn Of Mr. Isaac Kahn, and at the
time Of his death was chairman of the Com.
mittee on Buildings and Fire Department.
He was one OF the most efficient council
men in that body, and labored with an eye
single TO the advancement and welfare
OF his adopted city. He was member
Of the Manchester Methodist church,
was an upright, honorable Christian
gentleman, and died in the bright hopes
OF happy life beyond the grave.
No man in our city was held in higher es-
TEEN by his feilow-citiZens than was the de-
ceased. Coming into our midst stranger,
comparatively, he was not long in winning
the respect and goodwill OF the community,
and his death, which was quite sudden and
unexpected, was a shock to his many friends
a1d acquaintances. In his death the church
loses consistent member, the city a faith.
ful and efficient officer, his children a kind
and loving father, and the community man
