north and west OF the city, for the bene-
1T of that large class Of citizens-the
wheelmen. At that meeting, recognizing
the unfortunate condition OF some of our
streets, they expected TO consider the ad-
visibility OF recommending that this i'm
provement be In the form OF gutter OF
granolithic or similar material, which,
while benefiting them, would be sub
stantial and handsome Improvement TO
the street
But when the school children Of Rich
mond are about 10 be stopped from their
studies for lack OF money, the Richmond
League OF Wheelnen, even could they
hope there was probability OF obtaining
such an improvement, would account
themselves too public spirited 10 ask the
expenditure OF money for them under
such circumstances. The policy OF the
league Is to ask for nothing unreasonable.
and while they deprecate the condition
OF the streets over which they have to
ride, they do not feel that they can. at
this time, ask the expenditure of any
considerable amount Of money at the
hands Of the Council; but they do think
that the interests OF the wheelmen, in
view of the fact that the bicycles in use
in Richmond are greater in number than
all other wheeled vehicles combined
should be taken into consideration by the
Council whenever they have any money
which they can spend upon the streets.
The league has adopted very neat and
attractive official button. which can be
obtained by members without charge,
from the secretary.

wrights most capable comedians and
condolences.
A brand-new number Of the Finnigan
series of farce comedies, entitled Fin
nigan's Courtship," will be presented by
Murray e. Mack at the Academy OF
Music next Saturday matinee and night.
This play differs from the average So
called farce comedy in that II has a we'll
defined plot, and was written by an
author of prominence, Mr.. George II.
limerick, who has been so largely sue
cessful with other plays, notably Irish
Neighbors" and "Finnigan's Ball." the
two happy mediums which have so large
ly fitted the needs OF the cO-stars. Fin
nigan's Courtship" is brimful of humor-
Gus situations, novel speclalties, and will
be interpreted by a large company, COM
prising such talent as Charles Morgan,
Andrew Bode. Henry Elliott, Chris.
Bruno, John Hull, Herbert Dllea,
Charles billiard, Sadie Connolly, Annie
Lloyd, Oracle Wolfe, Oracle Tyson. Lola
Marrisse, Lonnie Deane, Bessie Varse,
Dolly Delroy, Lillian Gale, Trumbull
sisters, Mae and Fannie.

season will be the initial presentation
on the local stage at the Academy OF
Music on Monday evening, December
9Th, Of John Philip Sousa's and Charles
Klein's melodic and humorous comic
opera, "El-Capitan," by De Wolf Hop
per and Edna Wallace-Hopper. Mr. Hop
per gives the assurance that he will be
surrounded by his original company and
orchestra.
His engagement IN this is limited to
two nights.

Charles II. Hoyt's farces presented this
season VIII be given at the Academy.
II is "A Contented Woman" the play IN
which Caroline Mlskel-Hoyt made such
a success and reputation last season.
AS rule, Mr.. Hoyt has never relied
much upon plots or stories for founda-
ton OF his comedies. but in the case OF
"a Contented Woman" he has cleverly
woven woll-defined plot and interest
Ing story with many amusing complica-
lions following one upon the other. which
are happily worked out In Hoyt's most
humorous vein. The story is based upon
tho law recently passed in some OF the
Western States giving the fairer sex
the right to vote, and making them eligi-
BILE for municipal Offices. The new piece
is in three scenes, all OF which are laid
In Denver. and the scenery used In the
production is said to be the most elabo-
rate Mr.. Hoyt has ever presented. The
company not only carries all Of its own
scenery. but all the stage properties,
such as furniture, rugs, draperies, etc.
The cast, 10 a great extent. Will be the
original. What changes have been made
are said to be for the better. Miss Belle
Archer. who has been seen here as lead
ing lady with Nat. Goodwin, and In "A
Milk-White Flag" has been especially
engaged for the leading role, as Mrs.
Hoyt has retired from the stage for
rest. The remainder OF the
