NEW YORK. Nov. l0.-The Yale team

small number of persons visited the
groundS-less than thousand. The Yale
team made particularly good impress
sion. They are as bulky I'm the lire as a
big college team should be. but their
weight Is not their strong point. That is
the activity and all-around usefulness
of their strong men. OF course, against
the comparatively light Lehigh line the
Yale giants could do wonders, but, TAX
ing this into consideration, the Yale

1t will then be practicable for naviga-

The available depth to Richmond I'm
1870 was seven feet at low tide. and some
times six feet; or not exceeding ten feet
at high tide.
1t will be seen that we may. reasonably
look for double this depth by the close

leads to the conclusion that vessels of

1t should hardly be necessary TO re-
mind our people that accommodations
must be furnished for vessels of the
proposed draught, or they will not come

would accommodate few at first. with
room for enlargement will suffice. Its

The following extract is from report
by Assistant Engineer II. ID. Whitcomb. in
1892:
The river was surveyed By Claudius
Crozet I'm 1896 under the direction OF the
board Of public works Of Virginia. but
no action was taken as the result OF il.
Another survey was made by Captain
Howard Stansbury, Assistant United
States Engineer. In 1886. and third in
1852, by the United States Coast Survey.
In the last-named year Congress made
an appropriation of $45 900 for the improve
ment OF the James and Appomattox
rivers. One-half OF this was expended
on the James under the direction OF

through the shoals was at first done by
the city, the intention being to get NJ
