three handsome residences on Grace street

best modern style and will come up to, if
they do not surpass, the many really fine
dwellings lately erected in that growing
locality.
On the south side of Franklin street,
between Fifth and Sixth, Mr.. Charles f..
Whitlock is building two houses. Like
those above alluded to, they will be an or
nament to that section.

"PuIIinc Against the Stream. :"

Frank Z. Aiken and his company pre-
scented this play at the Mozart to
large audiences yesterday. The play de-
serves all the good things that have been
said about it, Mr.. Aiken is first-class
actor and his support is good. The scene
ry is realistic and the music and stage set
tings in Keeping with the performance.
The vocal selections of Misses Crocker
and Holson and Mr.. Warren were loudly
applauded. Miss Holson as Miss Irene
Worrell is already fayorably known in
Richmond as one of the celebrated Wor
rell Sisters. Pulling Against the Stream
will be repeated twice to-day, and is well
worth seeing.
