Is it Not Dangerous?

Two weeks ago or more Mr..
Hall, the manager of the electric
car lines, was asked whether the
track to the Exposition grounds
was not dangerous. The road bed
is so narrow and so worn in places
and the ties so small that the ap-
,pearance of things is not assuring.
The CHRONICLE would not for the
sake Of the public and the company
have any accident happen there and
therefore wishes to sound a note Of
warning and to say that it does not
believe the track to be safe for a car
heavily loaded and moving at high
speed. This is frank statement.
1t is not the opinion Of one person
alone. The road bed should be
widened and in other respects look
ed after. The cars run at high
speed on the part of the line from
St. Mary's to the hill this side Of
the Exposition grounds, which is
the western terminus Of the line.

A Norfolk paper says: "From the
rising Of the curtain to the fall
thereof, was one continued ovation,
the leading characters being called
before the curtain after each and
every act, and when we say leading
characters that embraces the entire
company, for each character has a
prominent part, and every one o.
them was good. 1t was decidedly
the best balanced company thai
ever visited Norfolk"
