The Music Committee OF the Mozart
Association are to be congratulated
npon the excellence of tho programmes
they have given Of late through the
dull season.
The music0'e last evening was Of high
order, and seemed to give great salts
faction to the large audience present.
There we're three excellent musicians
brought from a distance-Miss Florence
c. Grigg, Of Washington, a pleasing
soprano; Mr.. Clifford Schmidt, Of San
Francisco, Cal, beautiful yiOliDlst
and Mr. Leo. p. Wheat, the enthasias-
tic lover Of music and pianist, 81 well
known in this city.
Miss Grigg, who j. get in her teens.
sings with much taste and sweetness,
and is remarkably well selfpossessed
for one Of her cars. She was eHc0rci
upon each Of bar songs, and responded
With fine effect.
Mr.. Schmid; is an accomplished yiO-
Iin-player. lie has studied in Europe
for the past ten yesTs, and he plays with
refined expression and taste. Mr..
Wheat played his accompaniments, and
he acquitted himself very handsomely.
The orchestra played their two nun.
bers very acceptably. Mr.. Wheat
played two duets with Professor Rein
hardt, first on piano and then on organ
and piano, be play ing the organ in the
second duet. lie received quite an
ovation upon his stage entrance, which
gave decided assurance that this en-
thusiastic ins,rumentalist has not been

LYNCmBURG BOYS DEFEATED.
--------
The Rfehmonds Win the First Game
IN the state League.

The championship season between the
baseball clubs composing the Virginia
State League opened at Richmond Park
yesterday afternoon with the first OF
three games between the Richmonds aud
Lynchburgs. Despite the threatening
appearance Of the weather there were
quite large number Of lovers OF the
sport who went out to witness the
opening contest. In the first inning,
Dorsey got his base by being hit, and
Crostic, Luck, and Kookogey each
made q hit, bringing in four runs. To
this they added two moro before the
contest closed.
The Lynchburg boys were unable to
"catch on" to Vogel, and did not
get man on base until the
fifth inning, when Deylin and
Drouby each got their base on
balls, and Ford made hit, bringing in
Deylin's run. From this the visitors
played better, and crawled up to five,
standing just one behind their oppo-
nents when the game closed. The con-
test throughout was interesting and the
playing very good, considering the fact
that neither club has had much time to
practice since its organization. As
will be seen from the score, several Of
the players were a little /" off" in their
respective positions, bat this will be
Iemedied by practice. The features Of
the evening were the three-basc hi;
made by Winkleman and the double
play by Stratton and Dorsey. Ap-
pended is the score:

The meeting then adjourned.
TIE POLICE BOARD.
A Question Raised ns 90 the Legality
OF ths Present Body.

For some time prior to 1877 the Po.
lice Board Of the city Of Richmond con-
sisted Of the Mayor, the Police Justice,
and the President Of the Council. As
lobg az there was only one branch the
president Of that was the member; but
when the Council was formed into two
branches it was decided that the presi-
dent OF the Board Of Aldermen was en-
titled to the seat in the Board. In the
year named the General Assembly
amended the charter of the city and
provided. that the Police Board should
consist Of the Mayor and six private
citizens-the latter to be by the Board
Of Public Interests nominated to the
City Council for election.
Each year the term Of one member Of
the Board expires. So, unless there
are some unusual changes in the Board,
il will take the Reformers at least three
years to secure control of the body, and
through it the police force. But one Of
their friends has made q discovery
which causes them to feel quite jubi-
liant, and creates in their breasts the
hope that the present Board may soon
be swept from existence.
The act Of 1877 amending the chsr-
ter and the amendatOry act Of 1879
both require that the police commits
sioners shall be freeh0lderS. Ii declares
also that when a member ceases to be n
fIeebolder bis place shall be vacated.
All Of this, it is contended, is unconsti-
tntional. They rely on the case Of
Trower rs. Black q 0ls., reported in
10Th Virginia, where the electoral
board bill passed by the General As
sembly required that the board for
each city and county should be COM
posed Of "three freekoidcrS," and no
doubt in due time test case will be
made to bring this question before the
highest courts for decision.
The leaders Of the RefOrmers are
aware of all these facts, and there
seems to be no reason why they should
be kept from the reading public gene

REMARKS BY FATHER DoHERTY
AND THE GOVERNOR.
At the conclusion of the distribution
Father Doherty made q brief address
to the children, congratulating them on
the pleasing manner in which they had
acquitted themselves and expressing his
qualification thereat.
Father Tierney then introduced Gov
eInor Lee, who after apologizing for not
making q set speech, as he did not ex-
pect to be called upon, spoke briefly
but most happily to the young folks,
complimentipg them in high terms, and
concluding by expressing most kindly
sentiments for the institution.
In one of the rooms Of the Academy
there was display Of the hsndlwork
Of the pupils in the art Of painting
which would be creditable to any insti-
tuition in the land. Pastels /; painting
in oil on porcelain, brass, tin, glass, and
velvet; lustre painting, crayon and
pencil and in fact all the modern
and fashionable styles of such artistic
endeavor, we're to be seen on all sides.
A number Of the pieces were especially
well done, and evinced true merit. Sis.
ter Argeline has had sole charge of this
department for several years, and has
proved fully capable Of carrying on the
work she has undertaken.
The present superioress of st. Jo-
seph's is Sister Rose, who has had
many able and faithful predecessors.
1t is but just to say that in her admins
tration Of the affairs Of the Academy
she is the worthy successor Of all the
good that have gone before

The Sunday afternoon excursion to

great success. About Coo excursionistS,
including quite large number of ladies'
and children, enjoyed the trip. The
weather was splendid, and the besuti-
ful farm-scenery as viewed from the

ing and great treat to the crowd. A

during the trip, but brass band would
be much more suitable. The success

Last Sunday We spent pleasant day
at NewpOIt's News and did little
talking for Richmond College. AS We
stepped into the train on Monday to
return to Richmond Mr.. George b.
West banded us 4 document conveying
tironty lots Of land in the town Of New
ports News to the College. These lots,
according to the valuation placed upon
them by Colonel c. NJ. Braxton, Hon.
A. S. SegsT, and others, are worth
1000. 1t is believed by good judges
that they will net the College that sum.

His wise and generous gift will through

such additions as may hereafter be
made to it by those specially interested
in the object, is to he held by the Col
