ITS ADVANTAGES MANIFEST.
After spending years In these triai-
lines. II was determined. svme two years
ago. to adopt the line which Is now pre-
sented to the city, and the location IN
dicated. for the passenger depot. The
advantages of this location for a passen-
ger-station are manifest TO all acquainted
with the street-system OF Richmond ana
the system OF street railways. by taking
the street-cars in front of the building,
on Main street, or without leaving the
shelter OF the building, on Franklin
street. passengers can take cars TO any
part OF Richmond or Manchester. The
present street-railway systems all con-
verge to narrower limits at this point
than at any other. and are fully COM
manded by the depot.
The purpose of the company. In ef-
fecting these improvements. is not alone
to give Richmond the advantages OF a
splendid depot. and TO erect fine gene
raj offices for It's headquarters, but n
more important purpose has. probably,
been TO so arrange that the through
traffic of this system will cease to pass
through the crowded parts of the city,
and will no longer cross the thorough
fares and avenues Of trade at surface
prade. embarrassing the users OF the
streets and endangoring their lives; to
construct new lines which Will remove
all OF this traffic entirely away from the
business and thickly-sett'ed portions OF
the city, taking with 4 the noise, smoke,

that II will be satisfied with. 1t has not
consulted the cheapest and most economi-
cal plan; on the contrary. the estimates
on the work as now outlined are nearly
double the first estimates that were made
for these improvements; the scheme has
been enlarged and IL has been deter
mined, the Dispatch has been Informed,
to build on the most substantial basis,
and do a work which would be lasting
to build for all time. The earnestness
of this purpose is shown not only i'm the
vast expenditure OF money In building up
a great system of railway and the abso-
lutte necessity for connecting the dif-
ferent divisions, but also in the more i'm
mediate and direct local expenditure al

is wanted only for this one purpose.
JAMES RIVER FREE BRIDGE.
II is impossible to carry out so great
work without bringing changes In exist
ing conditions at various localities.
one of the most serious difficulties IN
this undertaking has been TO pass over
and under the bridges that now cross
James River The problem was made
more difficult by the necessity. from
which no deviation could be considered,
of not adopting grades on this yiaduct
In excess of the grade on the James,
River Division, the advantages of which

The estimated cost of this work, as
before stated, is 10000, and, according
to the universal experience, the estimate
of cost is likely TO be increased before
the work is done The passenger station
train shed cannot be built under
plans which have been considered so far
for less, probably, than 100000, and are
likely 10 cost more rather than less. These
plans have not been adopted definitely
but they are the last of many that nave
been made and considered, and while the
company intends to reserve the right 10
change some of the features, the purpose
at present in the minds of the manage
ment is that it may be able to enlarge
and improve. rather than to make the
structure less satisfactory or attractive.
The company may do away with some
of the ornamentatlon, and coniine the
building of the depot along purely Colonial

CONNECTION TO THE DEPOT.
At Nineteenth street connection Will be
made to the depot on Main street, the
main floor and tracks OF which depot
and train-shed which will. be about
twenty-eight feet above the pre-
sent grade of Main street. b The
depot train-shed will extend back over
Franklin street nearly to the line OF
Grace: the tracks extending thence north
ward crossing Broad and Marshall over
head and connecting with the present
tracks beyond Clay street. BY this sys-
TEN passenger trains between Cincinnati
and Newport News will come into the
city as they do now. pass into this train
shed. and after discharging and receiving
passengers will go directly on by this
elevated viaduct through Fulton and TO
Newport News. The trains from Newport
News viii in like manner arrive by way
OF this elevated structure. pass into the
depot. transact their business and pass
on north and westward by the present
main line. Trains of the James-River
Division coming from Lynchburg will
stop at Nineteenth street and back into
tho passenger depot. while trains leaving
for Iynchburg and the West via the
James-River Division will back out of the
passenger depot to Nineteenth street on
TO the main viaduct. whence they will
start westward.

works. leaving the least space under
meath that it is possible To leave for the
safe handling of cars on that bridge. With
this as the governing point, the maxi
mum grade has been used to lower the
track enough to get under the Coast
Line bridge, at which point the grade
of the new line is as low as it is possible
to make it, Being fixed at this point,
the problem presented itself how to pass
the Free bridge. After the most careful
consideration by different engineers and
by experienced persons in the city, with
whom the company consulted, it was
determined that the only solution was TO
depress the present Free bridge to an
extent sufficient for the new line to pass
over. with ample clearance for the travel
underneath, vertical clear distance
which is adopted on the main thorough
fares In the best-managed cities in the

MUSICAL NOTES

M. Carlos and Mme Louisa Sobrino
gave farewell concert last evening in
the Blanchard Fitzgerald musci hall be-
fore an audience that was not as large as
it should have been, but which comprised
many of the best m musicians in the city.
Nine. Sobrino is thoro ugh artist and an
accom- plished singer. Her method is schol-
larly; she handles her voice with musi-
cianly understanding, and in her treat
ment OF horid operatic arias and simple,
dainty ballads she is equally happy. Her
voice is always true, always completely
under her control, and its sweet, clear,
pure tones are refreshing. The Jewel
Song, from Faust, last night, her opening
number, was thoroughly charming and
she sang the difficult torture without
the least apparent effort. Later in the
programme she was obliged to change
group OF three numbers to two others,
less exacting, on account OF a cold, and
in place of Schubert's Erlkonig and two
by Brahms and Richard Strauss, Rogers
Dear When l Look Into Thine Eyes, and
Love Me, words set to ona of Chopin's
mazourkas, we're substituted. The last
group were Nevin's Autumn Sadness
and Lassen's Spring, and all were delight
full. Each was interpreted with exquisite
nioety and rendered with charming in
telligence.
OF Mr.. Sobrino's playing so much in
commendation cannot be said; his tech
nique is good, his execution flexible and
generally clean, and he plays without
apparent effort and much force. In fact,
that is one of his weakest points, in that
he too often sacrifices color and tone to
strength; his phrasing Is often hurt by
indiscriminate pedaling; and by ignoring
the spirit of them, his is generally rem
dition of the compositions, rather than
an Interpretation of the composers that
make up his programme. ID. NJ. c.

COULD HAVE DONE BETTER AT HOME

According to statements from ship
ping ports on the other side of the Allan
tic there is an unprecedented ho,neward
rush of American tourists. The capacity
of tine steamers is so inadequate that pas
sage is engaged many weeks ahead. Fab
ulous premiums are offered for accom- mo.
dations. and in some cases steerage pas
sengers have sold their tickets at cabin
rates to eager buyers. This simply means
that the number of Americans IN Eu-
rope has been unusually large during the
summer. 1t also means, probably, that
the largest payment on record has this
year been made in American gold for the
privilege of seeing the sights of Europe.
Among the inalienable rights of the
American citizen is the right to spend
his money as he pleases. But how large a
proportion of Amer leans who have
'done" Europe this year would have
seen infinitely grander sights and en-
joyed themselves immensely better if their
journey had been westward instead of
eastward? 1t Is estimated that 500, O0O,-
900 gold dollars, will have been e1pend-
ed by Americans in Europe at the close
of the season. Half that sum, at least,
would have been far more enjoyably
spent in seeing the incompatible won-
ders OF the Pacific slope.

1T NOW RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE

The Herald is forced 10 return to a
subje ct that, in the interest of the PEG.
pie, it is Obliged to be insistent upon
the next FiestS. So far the men of the
city who should be the most prom inent
in pushing the enterprise have been most
notoriously inert. Mr.. Meyberg while
emphatieally refusing to take the lead
again, has done yeoman service in trying
to stir up his brother merchants to
action. The chamber OF commerce and
the board of trade have shown little more
than frosty demeanor about the matter,
and the prospect Is not one that is pleas
ing to those who, like The Herald, bank
on the up-to-date spirit OF the people of
Los Angeles.
The Merchants association will hold
meeting this evening to take final action
on the project. If the result is to be
judged by the ability and push shown by
the me chants in the past, The people
can safely count on Fiesta that will far
eclipse all previous efforts. If, on the
other hand, the outcome of tonight's
meeting is display of lassitude about
tho project there should he an effort
made to still save the reputation OF the
city for being alive. BY getting three or
four prominent men to take hold of the
project, the people at large will respond
nobly If the proper initiative is taken.
