is idle in listless editorial hands, while
callow journalists combine to poison

The moral of all this would seem to
be that English should be taught in
the schools with special reference to
the use and abuse of words, to the end
of that there be laid foundation, at
least. for a literary education, which
should precede authorship.

A writer in the Lewiston, Me-, Jour

employ superlative words instead of
comparative ones. We are constantly
encountering, he says, such phrases as
more perfect" more just" more
equitable" more unanimous" more
universally" more accurate" more

the phrase of the great bard.

The editors of the great magazines
are not quite blind to these and similar

impossibility of securing contributors
who combine expert information on
special topics with proper knowledge
of the English language.

Next Saturday.


Though 1t was at one time thought that
the new Broad-Street Park would not be
ready for the opening Of the baseball
season. all doubt Of any such contingency
has now been removed. and when, on
Saturday next, the Richmond Bluebirds
line up against the Richmond College

feet condition, and the enthusiasts Will
have the opportunity Of witnessing

grounds. from comfortable and commodl-
GUS seats.
The park, an excellent picture OF which
is herewith presented, is already nearing
a state of completion, and is gem IN It's
way. 1t will be considerably larger than
any athletic field ever constructed In
Richmond before, and will have seating
capacity Of at least COCO

The field has been. and will be, until the

will be plenty Of space, too, for the out

than at West-End Park, where the trou-
bic has always been that the telders
hadn't sufficient territory in which TO
make their plays. All this is now oDvl-
