policeman to intercept him.
The De>t was that of a gentleman who
was positive he saw him Yesterday morn
ing at he round house Of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railro al,

The third was the authentic statement
of a gentleman who could describe him

ing Blackwell was chased by three ne
gro boys in the second precinct OF Jack.

The ffth and last was that Blackwell

WHITE SULPHUR, August l0.-Edttor
Times The season here becomes gayer
each day. Hundreds are coming la but
few are leaving. Richmond, as usual, is
very well represented. The german given
last Monday was indeed sn enjoyable
affair. 1t was led By Mr.. John s. Gun
ingbam. of North Carolina. Miss Virgie
Archer a charming brunette from Rich
mond was his partner, and was greatly
admired. / never saw more beautiful
women at the White than there are this
summer, and they come from all parts of
the world. Some OF the dresses worn here
are marveis of beauty, especially those of
Miss Colemans, from Baltimore. One of
the questions asked here daily, is where
are all the men? 1t must be confessed
there are not as many men here as there
were at this time last summer.
One of the most popular young men
here Is Mr.. Reed Hobson from Richmond.
am glad to say that all the boys from
our city are popular. They may not
dress quite as we'll as some of the others,
but they manage to get there.
The german given last night was the
largest Of the season, and was led by Mr..
10. Lane Stern. 1t is impossible for me
to give the names Of all who were pre-.
sent, can simply say that my eyes never
rested on more dazzling array of
beauty. Special mention should be made
of Mrs. Ferrie of New York. She can
easily rank as one of the most beautiful
women in America. II were only an
artist | would send you sketch of her,
and know you would all agree with me-
Mr.. Herbert Haze arrived yesterday, his
friend George Laffertv is also expected
in few days With men like Hale and
Lafferty the White begins to look once
more like its old self. Next week we ex.
pect to have the growing hen party on
the lawn, and then the fun will commence
in real earnest So far we have had very
little singing, but to day Mrs. Dogett
arrived, and we are all looking forward
with the greatest pleasure to hearing her
sweet voice. Miss Lillian Grubs, form
erly playing with the Erminie Company,
is also here, but has not yet honored US
with song.
Miss Brice, from Philadelphia, is one
of the bellies OF the place.
Tom Bigger arrived last night. He
looks very much like Z. A. Sothern, the
actor.
John Johnson, the special policeman,
is a great pet of the children. Wherever
he goes he is continually surrounded by
the little ones
Lovers Leap is no longer as popular
as Of Yore. Too many couples have been
caught recently.
Miss Irene Langhorn Is great favor
ite with the younger set, and in time will
no doubt be rated as one OF Richmond's
beauties.
Mrs. Will Allen prefers the TIMES to
any paper published In Richmond, and
so does nearly every one else at the
White. The newsdealer says it Is impos-
sible to keep 1t In stock, the rush is SO
great.
In my last letter made mistake in
saying that DR.. r. G. Cabell was the best
looking man at the White. 1t should
have been DR.. Arthur Cabbelle OF the
Navy. c. NJ.

in word, the complete history OF the

appropriate pedestal which will stand
upon a mound of turf, and the entire
monument will be a rectangular pyramid

posed to be erected at the intersection
of four of the principal streets in Alex

all points, and where it will stand not
only a beautiful work OF art, but an
educator Of future generations In the his
tory of the magnificent struggle made by
the South in the war between the States
for her rights and independence.
As soon as the contract Is signed MIR.

will be assisted by one of the finest
