sonals.
last week was truly week of sport
Tuesday and Wednesday two exciting
games of baseball we're played be-
tween the Stauntons and Virginia
Reds The boys froml>taunton came on
the early train Monday and the guest
of both hotels we're anxious to see the
contest-indeed after seeing the boys
from Staunton practice little on the
field our boys felt little nervous, but
when the hour came ana a few innings
played, the boys found they had a reg
ular walk over. The first game result
ed, Staunton 8; Virginia Reds 8, sec
ond: Stanntons B; Virginia Reds, II.
The following named gentlemen COM

Il. n. Smith, the popular head
er of The Virgins gave on last
sday evening an entertainment for
benefit of the visitors here-fully
hundred people were present.
rs Smith chaperoned the ladies and
r0fessor =. Moore ofLexington acted
Master of Ceremonies. Ten walters
rived the sumptuOus repast. Indeed
would take too much space to speak
the affair as it deserved. We can
t fail to say however it was the
andest of the seaSOn--indeed never
fore in the history of the Hot
prings have so many people been
lthered together at one mans ex-

BRITISH GOLD.
Three Billions of 1t Invested id
the Industries of America.

New York, December 81
Few persons realize what the
withdrawal of English credits
from this country means, or
the extent, of the capital which
they alone, to say nothing Of
other foreigners, have put into
the business of this country.
Several prominent foreign bank
ers estimate that the invest
ment CT foreigners in American
railroads alone amount to ST.
5OG,O 100000, Of which moro than
half represents English invest
ment. These figures referto the
par value Of securities and the
cash value is less. Another i'm
portant line in which English
capital cuts an important figure
is the insurance business.
These concerns always have
numerous loans out, and any
sudden contraction would pro-
duc- irreparable injury. A
score of such companies with
assets of SAT, 100000 have
grown rich out of the revenue
derive i from the American pub
lie. The Office buildings and
other properly interests held
by Engiishmen in New York
and AL the large cities, espec
tally by corporations which
derive large profit amounting
to millions annually, can only
be approximately determined
but it is said to represent $780,
100000. Another important
factor is the large amount of
money deposited with foreign
banking houses subject to or
der, and the bulk of which is
loaned on stocks.
1t was the calling of these
loans yesterday that was the
chief factor in precipitating he
the crash in securities. The
amount OF this money is guess
work. Several men estimated 1t
at $100,090,000. OF course it is
only left here as long as Eng
lishmen have assurance thas
they can draw it out in gold
whenever they choose. But the
most vital part of the British
is the comuercisl
;tedifs, in Which all trade re-
ation5 between the two coun-
.ries are involved. Millions of

This session of Congress will

Notes.
Our Regular Correspondence.

WIZ 40 uOt approve either TIE
sending of that special financial
message to Congress by Presi-
dent Cleveland or its recon-
mendation, they all admit that
it was a clever move on the
part of the President, and good
politics as we'll to shift the re-
sponsibility of relieving the
governments financial distress
upon the republican Congress.
1t is hardly probable that Mr..
Cleveland really expects any
immediate relief from Congress,
but he will have the satisfac
ton of showing the country
that the republican Congress
and criticise the acts of the ad-
ministration laws, to preserve
The credit of tue country, but
that it cannot or will not pro-
vide a better method. Even if

other one thing.
