SIGNIFICANT MEETING.
soaboard and Richmond, Petersburg
and Carolina officials Confer.

NORFOLK, VA, November 24-(Special)
That the Seaboard Airline will utilize
the new line being constructed between
Warren Plains. on its main line between
this city and Atlanta, through Petersburg
to Richmond, is almost certain. Officials
Of the Seaboard are naturally retlcent
but the construction of the Richmond,
Petersburg and Carolina road unquestion-
ably indicates more far-reaching enter
prise than a local line between Richmond
and Northern Carolina. 1t means the
completion, it is said. of another great
trunk line between Washington, Atlanta
and the Southwest, via the Seaboard Air
Line. At the Monticello Hotel. in this
city, there was held yesterday a meeting
which was attended by Mr. Everett St.
John, vice-president and general manager
Of the Seaboard Air Line, Chief-Engineer
Gwathmey and his assistant and Presi-
dent Hoffman, OF the Seaboard. At this
promoters of the Richmond, Petersburg
and Carolina railway. OF course, no in
formation is obtainable regarding the pro-
ceedings Of the meeting, but the mere fact
that a conference has been had between
the officials of the two lines is accepted
as evidence that an understanding has
been reached between them, If not con-
soidation Of interests. 1t Is not thought
that the Seaboard is as yet the owner OF
the new line, but at the same time 1t is
not thought any other line could acquire
a controlling interest therein. The compile
ton of the Richmond. Petersburg and
Carolina will at least afford the Seaboard
Airline relief from the alleged discrimi
nation made against the time Of its
through trains by the Atlantic-Coast Line
and the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac, over whose track they now
reach Washington

which was ascending heavenwards from
the thousands of threats.
The Virginia students consregated on
the. western bleacheries, about two hun
dred strong, and while there was at no
time in the game any doubt as to their
identity or their whereabouts, they ad-
vertised themselves by planting in front
of them the flags Of the medical and law
departments of the University. AS the
fight waged throughout the first half,
and Virginia forced the battle on Caro-
lina's territory, these students made the
welkn ring with their song, the refrain
of which was, "We'll bury Carolina in the
bottom OF the sea-
They were the only silent spectators
on the ground when Carolina refused TO
be buried but began to swim out of the
sea, but there was plenty of noise in
their immediate vicinity, for on THEN

HOWELL GIVEN A RIDE.
After the game the Virginia enthusiasts
did not follow their wonted custom OF
rushing on the field; they went quietly
from their seats to the cars, feeling for
the holes In their pockets. Not so with
the Tarheels. They had scored victory
after many years of patient waiting, and
they proposed to celebrate 1t. On the
gridiron they rushed, and in few min

The scene at the Jefferson after the
game last night was one OF great ANNA

cally owned the hotel, and with their
yells of exultant pride almost lifted the

terday ended their football career for
1898, and they were once again free to
cat and drink what they pleased.
From the bar the men went to the
dining-room, and there they did fun JUS
tice TO the excellent menu which was
spread forth for their deectation. When
the men concluded their meal their re-
appearance I'm the lobby was the signal
for a great outburst Of cheering, and the
heroes were surrounded by hundreds OF
enthusiasts. who pulled and hauled them
about as though they were public proper
ty, and discussed every point OF the In
teresting game with them.
VIRGINIANS TAKE 1T WE'LL.
The Virginia lads, or some OF them al
least. were In the lobby when the Caro-
linlans made their advent, and they sat
back and watched the demonstration in
their honor with no show of Jealousy
but to some Of those who had been on
last years team thoughts of reception
of similar kind, when they were the
heroes of the occasion, must have come
into their minds
Shortly after O'clock the Virginians
all repaired to the Commonwealth CLUB,
and left the Tarheel lads in undisputed
possession of the lobby. They continued
to hold a levee-though there was not so
much demonstration Of a noisy charac-
ter-until shortly before midnight they
repaired to the Southern railway depot,
where they embarked for Chapel Hill.
The Virginians will return to the Uni
versity this morning. Many of the stu
dents who came down yesterday morning

Mr.. ReynoIds's View of IL

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The best team won. and with the eX-
ception of two or three rallies by both
teams, it was purely a defensive game
Virginia, on account Of Cardinals fun
bles and bad msjudgments, had plenty
of opportunities to score I'm either half,
but she did not seem able 10 make the
necessary brace to carry the ball over.
The wind favored Virginia in the first
half, and she took the proper use Of it
and put Carolina on the defensive nearly
the whole of the first half. In the latter
half It looked very much like Carolina's
day when they carried the contest into
Virginia's territory and threatened the
Virginia goal. The first half ended with
honors even. Carolina was confident, as
Virginia with the strong wind at her
back was not able to force the ball across
her line.
The winning touchdown was scored
after a series of Undertaking plays, and
with the last final sweep around Virginia's
left end, Martin, whom / consider, to-
gether with Moore, TO be Virginla's stars
was boxed out, and the interference swept
in, and then came the prettiest play J
have ever seen on any field. Cunning
ham, Graves, Gregory, and several North
Carolina players picked up the interior
ence at different times, and aided by the
superb lodging run of HowelPs. the only
touchdown was scored. 1t was a mar
vellous run, by far the greatest / ever
saw 1t was not a fuke or a massed in
reference that sweeps opposing players
aside. but the real hair-ralsing run Of
great buck.
Both teams had a defence too strong

entirely too heavy TO move much Their
men were so much superior physically
