Richmond College Players VIII Not
Appear Again This Year.


Appear Again This Year.
At a regular meeting OF the Richmond
College Athletic Association, held Mon
day, the following officers We're elected
for the coming year: President, Ben. w.

sanguine hopes were conferred, is viz

Bad weather has prevented some games
that We're, financially at least, very im-
p0rtant But the greatest hnderance was
the lack of sufficient players. The team

No blame is laid upon either Manager
Montgomery or Captain Mcneil for the
failure of the team.

cancelled n game arranged To be played
at Charlottesville.

with his whole command. but at a later
part OF the same document Genefai Lee
says:
"c;o,eral Iongstreet's dispositions were
not completed as early as was eNpccteu'
Geneial Longstreet was de-
laved by a force occupying the hlsh'
rocky hills on the enemys extreme iel',
from which his troops could he attacked
a., reverse rs they advanced. His opera
lions had been embarrassed the day pre-
yious by the same cause, and he now
deemed IL necessary 10 defend his flank
and rear with the divisions of Hood ana
McI.aws. He was. THEREFORE,, re-
enforced by Heths division ana "o
brigades OF Pender's.'
Now. TO our mind. this is perfectly
main statement by General Lee that he
authorized Longstreet to retain Hood 5
and McI.aws' divisions in the positions
they occupied 10 protect his hahk ana
rear while the assault on Meade's centre
wa being made. 1t would seem TO be a
case I'm which he had at first determined
that I.ongstreet should put Hoods ana
McLaws divisions into the assaulting
column. but upon Longstreets represen-
tations that hi, flank and rear would be-
come exposed If he did this, he had yield
ed. and had determined to leave those
two divisions where they were and make
Heth's and two brigades Of Pender's do
the work that he had intended Hoods
and McLaws' divisions should Go. 1t is
impossible otherwise to understand what
General Lee means when he says that as
Longstreet deemed it necessary to de-
fend his flank and rear with the divisions
of Hood and McLaws, he was, THERE
FORE. REINFORCED by 1ieths division
and two brigades OF Pender's.' II Is per-
fectIy clear to us, from this language
that General Lee authorized Longstreet
to leave Hoods and McLawS divisions
in their original position on our right.
General Longstreet has enough to carry
in connection with this battle without
loading him with what is not justly one
Of his burdens.

The pooling Of the freight business OF

of the services Of many soliciting agents.

soliciting agents instead Of each company
having a force OF solicitors. I'm Rich

not singular in its conclusions. AT that
