The out-delding Of both clubs was very
good, while there were several costly errors

Cool Places,

Yesterday was day to make a man long
for cool place.
About diDner-time, as business people
were going up and coming down town, you
could see numbers of them stopping at
Ninth and Main and at Sixth and Main
streets. At both places you can yet a breeze
il any is stirring; but the latter, there at
the Second Baptist church corner, Is IA
nous. Day time or night il Is probably
the coolest pace in town, though there are
corners on Church Hill that will favorably
compare with it.
Libby Hill and CANDLES are favorite re-
sorts in the evenings for those who want
80 breath Of fresh air.
The coolest building in Richmond is the
Capitol. Ii has the advantage OF elevation.
Of situation in park, aud Of eXtriordi-
narily thick walls. All OF the basement
rooms are pleasant, but tradition and expe-
rience Of the folks OF the present genera
ration say that the office OF the Register Is
the best in this respect. The Governors
house for similar reasons Is regarded rs
highly desirable.
Our forefaibers were wise in selecting
hulldng-sites facing the river. OF sum-
mer breezes nine tcnths come from that
direction, and the best old.time residences
were all erected so that they would receive
the river breeZes either at their front or
back. Occupants OF such houses TO this
day rejoice IN the forethOught Of the de-
signers and builders. and one and all de-
clare that it Is rare they suffer with heat ut
night.

THE .NEJV CRY HALL.
WHY the Delay in Building it-Need for More
Room for Courts aud Offices

Why the Delay IN building lt-Neeh Tor nOrc
Room for Courts aud Offices.
The contractor has leyellcd the First
Presbyterian church to the ground and is
rtGnctmg il on west Grace street. The old
City.Hall lot and anncxes, the whole bound-
ed north by Broad street, south by Capitol,
east by Eleventh, and west by Tenth, il
now bare OF buildings; only the piles Of
cleaned bricks and the dtbgiS are to be re-
moved, and that will be done in short
time.
Though the site for the new City Hall IL
about ready there is no visible movement
at present to begin building. The City En-
gineer and Council committee have been
delayed by the architect From the begin
ming there has been, with many, doubt az
TO whether the hall could be constructed
under the plan selected, Er. Myers's, with
in the $500, COO voted. When he sent his
specifications on here some weeks after the
prize was awarded hlm il was found. upon
close examination, that SO many important
items had been omitted that il built accord
;nC 10 them the hall. though it might come
within the 2300.0 600. would not be a COM
plete building. Therefore the specifications
were returned to Mr.. Myers for correction.
He has been over them again and they are
now here In the hands Of the Engineer and
committee. II found to cover everything
required, the advertising for proposals can
be done. and when the bids are in ii will
then, at least, be absolutely known IL the
house can De put up for S3s0, ,00O-beyond
which figures neither the Council nor COM
mittee i' authorized to 90.
Just now the prospect Of the work being
put fairly under way this year Is not good;
not even II Mr.. Myers's plan proves acccp-
able and in other event the commencement
OF it will certainly 90 over until next year.
Meanwhile there is pressing necessity for
more room for the courts, and for the city
offices. Look az the miserable accommoda-
tions Of the City Treasurer Mr.. GreenhOw),
what a sweat-boX his Office is in summer;
how all classes and conditions are iammed
together IN it when gas and Waler-bills are
10 be paid, and what o gauntlet girls and
ladies have TO run TO reach il
II is pity that there is TO be any delay
IN the construction OF the new city hall. We
need i; badly, and we can ill afford to lose
any time.
