1t is generally admitted here to
day that the reception given last
night in honor OF Rev. Dir. Moses
u. Hoge surpassed ANYTHING of the
sort ever witnessed III Vlrgiuin. The
number of people who attended Is
variously estimated ut from 1000
to 20, 600. A conservative estimate
is that 5000 entered the building
and 5000 or 5000 went away wheu
they arrived and learned that the
rooms were packed. Among those
who greeted DR.. Aoge were many
persons who are never seen at

better baseball town than Newport

patrons of the sport here to protest
against Setley being allowed to pitch
