yield about 500, 900 this season, and adds:
"This is greater than the orange crop of

THE EXCURSIONS MADE MONEY.
A Good Sinking Fund for the Flu
ture Undertakings of the Assn.


The Executive Committee Of the Asso-
citation for the Development OF Rich
mond Trade held a most satisfactory
meeting last night. at which full reports
were received from all of the railroads
that ran excursions to this city last
Tuesday. and Il was found that after
paying all expenses he association
cleared s52l1l. which will form sinking
fund upon which to draw In Its future
undertakings.
The exhibit made was most gratifying.
especially in view OF the fact that when
the scheme was first put on foot SO
few of those invited took any part or
interest In tho matter. 1t Is hoped that
hereafter there may be more hearty CO.
operation among the merchants, business
men, and railroads. and that future ex-
cursions may even surpass those OF last
Tuesday.
The reports submitted last night show
that the Norfolk and Western roau
brought GIL persons to Hicnmono' the
Southern brought $40. and the tnte se
branches of the Chesapeake and ONO
about 1000. The receipts from the three
Chesapeake and Ohio lines were as ioi-
lows: James River Division. S42O.60: Cnar-
Iottesyille, s77e.25; Fort Monroe, SoSo.oo'
making total Of S.g535
Ii is probable that general meeting
OF the association will be held at the
Chamber OF Commerce next Friday night
10 recslve the report of the Executive
Committee. and to discuss the matter OF
having the next series of excursions
start from points further distant than be-
fore. 1t was stated in last nights meet
ing that there was some talk or the rail-
road people considering the question OF
advancing the rates for chartering trains
for future excursions.
