The Reservoir Travel.

During the summer ten or fifteen thou
sand people per day desire To visit the Re
servoir Park. They are willing 10 pay a
ten-cept fare for the round trip, provided
they can 90 and come promptly.
The great dread is that when the home
ward rush begins they will not be able TO
get so much as standing room IN the cars,
and in consequence Will have to walk back.
Now. with the innumerable demands
upon their time and treasury, the compa-
MES are not gong TO be able TO remedy
this evil this summer. This Is certain.
Bot cannot they do something? Wethink
so. They can run special reservoir cars
from Fifth and Main and Seventh and
Broad streets TO the park. This would af-
ford some relief. If man cannot be car
ried all the way home surely he would
prefer TO be set down in the heart Of the
city rather than have to trudge along dusty
roads all the way from the park.
The ingenuity of the management ought
TO be equal TO the solution of the difficulty.

The Naval Review.
Norfolk Landmark

There would be something significant and
appropriate in the spectacle Of these great
fleets entering America through the very
capes through which passed the people
who made the first permanent English set
Element in America, and in waters upon
which occurred the first battle between
ironclads-an event that revOlutiOnized
naval architecture the world over.
We surely must have the naval review in
Hampton Roads and in the efforts 10 this
end which Norfolk is making Richmond
may be counted upon TO give enthusiastic
support. Only tell ne what to do and the
people of the capital city will try to DO it,
Richmond Dispatch.
This il cordial spirit of cooperation,
and we hail it with pleasure. Richmond
and other neighbors can aid greatly, and
they will have the manner pointed out to
them in duo time. The mastering of the
navies of the world in Hampton Roads
means great deal if properly appreciated.
