fed and drawing back, struck terrible blow at
Mamie. The hex missed It's mark and landed on
the 1Our-bag, which broke and scattered It's con-
tents over the PoWhatan Club statesman. He
was vertable Santa Claus in appearance after

ACHANGe OF ENGINEERS.
Major whItcomb to Succeed Sr. Burg"vn
on the River Improvement.


Mr.. c. 2. E. Turgwyn has rendered his
resignation as assistant engineer IN charge
of the improvement Of James river and
Major II. ID. Whltcomb has been appoint
ed TO that position, and will enter at once
upon the discharge of his duties.
Mr.. Burgwyn has been in charge OF this
important work sinca-I4Sl, when he sue
ceeded Major WhTcomb, who then re.
tired from the position to identify himself
with important railroad work in tho West.
Now Major Whitcomb returns to the rlver
and MIR. Burgwyn will devote his attention
to the Fmmgille and Powhaton railroad,
in which be is largely interested. 1t IS pos
sible that he may 90 abroad in the interest
of this enterprise.
Mr.. Burgwy has devoted himself with
great energy to the improvement OF the
river and has done great deal to give
Richmond better shipping facilities. There
will be general regret, therefore, that he
finds il necessary TO sever his connection
with the vast and important enterprise.
On the other hand, the community are to
be congratulated that IN losing the SER
vices of this gentleman they are TO have
as Lis successor one of such splendid
qualification broad experience, and abun-
dant ability as Major Whitcomb.

Great Interest Felt in the Coming Contest
Mt Island Park.

The football contest which will take
place between the elevens of the UniVer-
sity OF Virginia and Trinity College, North
Carolina, Saturday promises 20 be one Of
the most exciting games Of the season, az
the players on both sides are stalwart ath-
letes aud very evenly matched.
The "'Yarsities" have not been long or
ganized, but they have trained hard and
are said 70 be in excellent shape, while
lows and good In a rough and tumble
scuffie, such as the sport requires.
1t Is entirely a mistaken idea to imagine
that football is moi exciting. On the CON
trary there Is no sport which so rivets and
attracts the attention of the spectators.
The contest will take place at Island
Park.

the Justice was disposed to be light on all
such offenders.
The Sergeant was in n great furry TO get
through, and could hardly wait for the
newspaper reporters TO get 0 glance at the
docket, as his family were waiting at home
for him TO return to 90 to church with
them. Even the semi-humorous Justice
had assumed a very sanctimOniouS appear
ance, while Clerk White was IN rather
