Wnat would you think OF q railway

to be full Of says and grades and low
joints and broken rails and soggy
places, and would seek TO overcome
these distractions by increasing the
strength Of its locomotives and cars1
or course It would require lots more
fuel to mako the steam, only a half q
train could DO hauled, the rolling stock
would soon be destroyed, and tho whole
resources Of the company would be

to build good road-bed.

report that the audience that greeted
Mr.. Grady numbered 1900. In its report

q al figures were not surprising when one

the Fair that day was from 10000 10 To-

be sure and not get the number too small,
stated that there We're 600 present. Inc
Dispatch somehow thought there were
from 10 900 TO 10 900 present.
Following out the analogy, 1t can be
readily seen how the Dispatch could estl-
mate the Grady audience at 600 people.
Probably. however, this number was
meant TO include those who were attract
ed from distance by bonfire at the
Exposition Grounds.
Secretary William @. owens, or the
Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical So
ciety, was also seen yesterday in regard
to the financial result of the Fair. lie
stated tfat as yet returns had not come

| department supcrintcndents had made no

ports next week, however, and he could
then tell definitely how the society would
come out. He was under the impression

probably reach $1,000 or $4,000 this year,
