Plans for It's Removal to Richmond
Under Way.

Plans for It's Removal to Richmond
Under Way.
Plans are well advanced for opening the
next session Of Waylard Seminary in Rich
ncnd, Va, although the institution is still
operating at the head of Chaplin street.
President Hovey recently made a trip to
Richmond to lock over the ground in COM
pany with the architect.
The plans and drawings have been made,
and work will begin soon as certain
business matters are settled by the colored
Baptists of Virginia.
The plans are to have five large modern
buildings, arranged in the form Of a horse
shoe, which include chapel and library,
theological building, dormitory, college, lee
ture hall, laundry and dining hall. A plant
to furnish light and heat for these several
apartments will also be needed. The whole
will cost not less than $4,000. Dr. Macvi-
car was in the city this week on his way
to Richmond to open bids for the work.
The college department is already in
operation at Wayland, and has simply to be
transferred to Richmond when the build
ings are ready. There are three young
men in the departments. H. Archer of
Petersburg, Va; w. E. Robinson, Monta-
que, Va, and w. T. Foreman, Hamilton,
Md. The course of study for the year en-
braces Greek literature, prose composition
through the year, Latin prose composition,
German (begun), English and American
literature, mathematics, algebra and geom-
etry.

Judge Grosscup Of the United States court
of the northern district of Illinois has Just
decided suit that affects materially the
talking machine interests of the country.
The American Graphophone Company re-
Gently began proceedings before Judge
Grosscup against d. f. Boswell & Co. of
Chicago, to enjoin that firm from making
records by duplicating process in infringe
ment of patents owned by the graphophone
company. Judge Grosscup has granted the
injunction, sustaining the American Graph
ophone Company's patents and declaring
that that company was the first to make
successful souEd records. This decision
will, it is claimed, affect a number of con-
Germs that have gone into the business of
making musical and other records to sell
to the owners of talking machines. Mr..
Philip Mauro Of this city represented the
American Grarhophone Company in the
proceedings before Judge Grosscup.

JESTS AND GIBES IN DOG TALK

After tonight 1t will be Lent, so far as
the aristocratic CANNES out at the dog
show are concerned. and the four-legged
society favorites can take q much-needed
rest, after the four days dissipation in
which they have INDUCED. 1t has been a
perpetual o'clock tea with them SO far,
and they appear as tagged out as does a
debutante at the end of the winter season.
Very few OF them now deign to shake
hands with visitors to the show. as they
did the first two days. Merely a nod Of
recognition is all hey indulge in.
The exhibition will close at 10 o'clock to-
night. and the dogs will be shipped to the
different points over the country from
where they were brought, and they can
have a much-needed season of repose be-
fore attending the next public function.
There will be some canine tears shed, too,

when the parting time comes, as there
have been number of friendships develop
Ell among the thoroughbreds. Most nota-
bic among these is one between a pointer
and greyhound. When 1t Is possible these
dogs associate with each other. and seem
utterly oblvious of the presence of any
other four-footed friends.
When they are turned out into the ring
in the morning they recognize each other
with short, sharp banks of delight and
by frisking about in an ecStacy of joy. The
friendship appears mutual. When they
finish with their greetings, they generally
retire to corner of the ring to compare
notes Of the latest gossip.
The Morning Exercise.
One who has not been present at the
morning exercising of the dogs in the
ring has missed half the show. 1t is sort
Of green room for the ANIMALS, and they
indulge in all sorts of pranks. 1t is all in
the greatest good humor. however, and
there is no landing on the solar plexus Of
one dog by another.

dogs are and how much sense they have"

of dogs unacquainted with one another,
as most of these are, and put them in a
pen together, just common. ordinary dogs.

BILE rate. Why, they act like a lot of
Christians at a church meeting To look
at them, 4 it were not for their playful
ness. you might think they were attending
convention whose OBJECT was: How to
observe the golden rule in the canine king
DOM -
AS matter of fact, the dogs seem to
realize that they are not on exhibition
when they are given these early morning
constitution ais and make the most of it..
Their amateur boxing exhibitions, catch
as-catch-can wrestling matches, leap frog,
follow your leader and other games in

II dulge in when they get out of school.
Source of Mistakes.
The dachshunde seems to be a source of
more mistakes in different ways at the
show than is any other object. He has
been mistaken for a snake, the thinnest
one in particular. but the climax came in
this direction this morning IN the case Of
German gentleman who was looking at
the dogs through a pair of brass bowed
spectacles. He seemed greatly pleased
with all of the dogs. When he reached the
