THE wARwICK-P TOURNAMENT
\ Pleasant Evening and Successful
Tilt.

Yesterday evening the tournament at
Warwick Park came off, and was greatly
moved by all those who were present.
Tournament in Virginia Is al old
fashioned game. and was the glory OF the
goung gentlemen in ante-bellum days,
when they prided themselves on the
nlue blood of their horses, their own ex-
ger, horsemanship, and was delighted to
btan the smiles Of fair ladies.
The attendance on the tournament
.esterday evening was very fair, and
,omposed more largely of ladies and gen
Iemen from the surrounding neighbor
iood than from the city. Richmond was
well represented, however, quite num-
ler of her people being present.

them
The thieves were evidently new at the
business, certainly not experts.

much excitement in wool circles, as 1t
was entirely unexpected, the firm being
considered one of the most reliable In the

said to have lost money continually,
chiefly on account of the decline in the

Value Of the Gum Tree.

For q long time gum trees and
sycamore trees have been consid-
cred the greatest nuisance in our
forests, but of late years the first
named has come to be regarded as
q valuable wood by manufacturers,
and it is probable that the gum
tree in the near future viii become
q source of revenue, whereas it is
now trouble and bother to get rid
of it. Gum wood is found to be
susceptible Of q high degree of pol
ish, while it receives paints and
varnish readily, and Is especially
adapted to making veneers and
those parts of furniture that re-
uuire extra fine finish. 1t is begin
ming to be regarded as equally val
liable with yellow pine, poplar and
cypress. 1t is also found to be
very lasting, in several instances
sills of gum having outlasted oak
and cypress, the oak and cypress
being rotted away while the gum
sills remained perfectly solid. Oul
attention was first called to this
matter several years ago by Mr.. &
w. Bruce, of ward two, whose
house built near his mill has q mum
Der of sills and stanchions of gun
wood in it, and since that time w
have seen mention made OF thu
value of this wood on several oc
casions. The st. Louis Lumber
man calls attention to the value O
this tree, and says that it is likel,
to cause revolution in the valu
of other woods. If this hereto
| fore valueless and useless tree is t
become an article of commerce
will be of untold benefit to tn
Southern States, whose forest
} abound in the sweet gum Th
