Editor Virginan- Pilot:
To attend the average amateur per-
formance one must be actuatcd by
charitable impulses and well prepared

When real merit and capability. how
ever are assisted TO advance the re-
suit can only be gratifying to those
who feel an interest. locally. in the pro-
Sress of these affairs.
Chance favored me with an oppor-
tunity to hear the opera priscilla"
lately sung in Norfolk, and while lack
perhaps the requisite qualifca tons
which constitute Il proper critic. l feel
no hesitancy in pronouncing it the most
praiseworthy amateur performance ever
given in Norfolk, and in this estimate
am fully assured that l stand not alone
To the cast nor chorus. of course in

but the assignments were we'll selected
and the general result most pleasing
and entertaining.
The performance of this kind which
goes with n vim and is punctuate ed

merits all that can be said in it's favor.

expect more up to the same standard

small but valuable collection of old and
rare coins. including a five-dollar Geor-
Sia gold piece OF crude mintage. This
pa. .icular coin antidates the establish

TROLLEY CAR STRUCK CAB.
It Was Occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. A.
G. Nettleton and Daughters.

A cab, occupied by A. C. Nettleton,
wife and two daughters, was struck by
Dunmore Suburban car No. 122, at the
corner of North Washington avenue
and Marion street at about IL o'clock
last night.
The cab was crossing diagonally from
Washington avenue toward Marion
street when the car appeared, coming
toward the city The motorman seeing
n collision imminent, applied the brakes
and reversed, but on account of the
moist condition of the rails was unable
to stop as short as usual.
His prompt action, however. stayed
the progress of the car long enough to
allow the cab driver to pull his team
about, nearly clearing the track, but
the fender struck one of the carriage
wheels, pushing the vehicle aside with
out much damage. Mrs. Nettleton was
greatly affected by the shock, but was
able to walk to her home, few blocks
distant.
