RICHMOND, Va, September "a. 1888.
To the Editor of tho Dispatch:
Knowing you to be ever ready to de-
nounce imposition and injustice and al
ways earnest in endeavor to protect the
peoples interests, ], az life member of
| the Virginia Agricultural and Mecbani-
/ cal Society, would respectfully solicit
the influence of yonr paper in protesting
against what consider an unjust cur
talment OF privileges and imposition OF
taxes upon the hfe-members Of the So
ciety. by what authority are the races
detached from the Exposition and
to be conducted under "entirelY
different auspices -? What other
auspices? Does not the society as for
merly pay the purses? Are not the
races carried on on the same ground ?
Did not the life-members give up their
| grounds and the property thereon upon
condition that they still retain dU their
pricilcQes Of lifemembership as guar
anteed them by the old society? l have
never heard of any general meeting OF
stockholders and life members at which
racing was dctdched. The next thing in
order will be to build high fence in
| front Of the cattle-stalls and charge %
cents to see the Jersey cattle or put q
tin door on the coops and charge dol
lar to see the Muscovy drake. If there
is authority to detach one feature why
not all ?
The management says we in Richmond
must have our photographs taken, but
don't say they will pay for it.
| have consulted several members of
the legal profession and have it as their
opinion that life-members are entitled to
admission TO the races, and il this is a
fact there will surely be trouble ahead for
/ the management unless this "detach-
ment is done away with.
! AS to the photograph farce, that is too
ridiculous to deserve consideration, and
| the man that's fool enough to submit to
it ought to be charged double admission,
for there would be no trouble in collect
ing it. JUSTICE.
DAIRY ASSOCIATION.
There will be a meeting of the dairy
men and creamorymen here October
/ r7th for the purpose OF organizing a
| State Dairy Association. All those having
the dairy interests of the State at heart
are cordially invited TO attend. Gentle
plen well posted i'll the different branches
of dairying have been invited 10 adj

posted ut the entrance OF the Exposition
at Richmond, telling where the meeting
will be held, and l.. J.. Northrup, Falls
Church. Va, Il. B. Wright, Wheatland,

THE PARADE.
General G. J. Anderson having invited
Post d, Virginia Division, Travellers Pro-
tectivc Association, TO parade with the
military and other organizations at the
opening Of the Exposition, President W.
r. Maxwell has called a meeting of the
post for tomorrow night to act upon the
invitation.
DOARDING-HOUSEs.
Several of our boarding houses are ad-
ver,isng in the papers OF the interior OF
the State. This is a good stroke-for the
boarding houses and for the city.
During the first two weeks of the Ex
position, certainly, strangers who are
contemplating a visit to Richmond
should secure lodgings before they reach
here, else they may find themselves sub
jected TO some delay in being quartered,
but where it is impracticable to make ar
rangements in advance the Exposition
Bureau, under the charge of Mr.. Bow
man, Will conduct the visitor to quarters.
COTS IN THE BLUES ABMoRY.
The Richmond Light Infantry Blues
have decided to place one hundred cots
in their ArmOry for the accommodation of
visitors to the Exposition, and it IS pro-
bable that they will have as many more
put in If there is sufficient room.
NJ. d. 16l9.
There will be on exhibition at the Ex-
position a piece of stone on winch is
carved. "M. d. 1919" 1t was found
at the Woodbury. mill-dam, on Mr.. Cos
by's farm, in Powhatan, and it is sup
posed thatsom name was cut omit which
las been worn away, as the stone is soft.
