To Launch the Ei sud,

The launching of the FL Sud, The
South" at the ship-yard. Newport News,
on the 18th, promises TO be notable and
entertaining event-one in which the peo-
pie of Richmond take q special interest. as
the first of great work accomplished at
this seaport.
The sliding OF the monster ship into the
waters is sight of great thrill aud excite
ment. which once seen is never forgotten.
The ship-yard and its works will be
a revelation to those who have never
visited one and well worth the trip. 1t is
now the largest yard in the United States,
and, when additions are completed this
summer will be the largest in the world.
The Governor and many notabies. as
well as large number of ladies and gen
tlemen of our city, expect to leave on spe-
cIal train at $40 A. NJ. on the l6tn tc

company have arranged TO run the coaches
direct into the ship-yard on that occasion

ATHLETIC COLLEGE STUDENTS.
The Boys Preparing for FieId-Day and for
the Next Regatta.

The students of Richmond College have
already been inspired by the spring
weather with fresh fever for athletics.
aud in few weeks the campus will be
alive with tennis-playcrs and base-ballists.
Preparations are being made for the re-
gular annual feld-day of the institution,
which will take place some time during
the last of April. The date has not yet
been fixed. nor have any of the collegans
had an opportunity to 90 into active train
ing, owing TO tho exceedingly inclement
weather for the past two weeks. Foot-b ball
does not seem to be attracting much favor
with the boys, but they will have base
ball team.
meeting was held at the college yes
terday for the purpose of organizing q
crew to row in the regatta. which Will pro-
badly take place this summer. The cham
pionship cup of Virginia is now in the hands
of the students, the college crew having
come out first in the race last July. but they
will have TO win again at the next contest
to keep 1t in their possession. The follow
ing made applications for positions on the
crew Dolph Blair, for bow: N. j. Allen,
S. p. De Vault, and Charles Clements. for
second; John Reid, for stroke; Percy Boz
sher. for bow Charles L. Taylor, for third;
Maury Anderson. coxswain, and IL. Is. War
rem. These gentlemen will commence
training in the gymnasium immediately
and will go upon the water as soon as pos
sible. They are all powerful, well-built
fellows. Clements and Reid were two of
the oarsmen on the college crew last year,
and it was largely through their exertions
that the students carried of the laurels
at tho regatta
