Gamble's Hill. and the visitors enjoyed the
view from that point and returned and
joined the party.
The trip in the West End included a visit
to the Soldiers Home. the New reservoir.
and drives along Park and Grove ave-
nues.
The delegates seemed to be pleased with
the beautiful residences they saw and the
ribES VI prosperity eNeryWneIe.
THE PLACE SURPRISED HIM.
One of the members of the congress re-
marked: The one thing which impresses
me most in Richmond is the fact that the
city is not more extensively advertised.
From what j had heard about the place [
thought it consisted chiefly of old build
ings surrounded by battle-fields, but here
find one of the pretticst, most modern, and
prosperous-looking places have ever seen.
Persons who have never been here have no
idea what a desirable city il is."
The afternoon drive occupied two hours,
and at 7 o'clock the members of the con-
gress returned to their special train.
