time to express to him the satisfaction
the Commandery entertained at his

sentiments. expressive of the love of

Governor Woodfin was taken so by

untitled to express his appreciation of
the gift. He spoke OF the love he had
for every Sir Knight and declared that

The Closing Week the Banner Week of the Year in the Local
Market-Lamp Girls Famous Race-Genera Horse
Notes of Interest

The horse market for the past week
has been exceedingly active and the
volume of business was the greatest OF
any week thus far this season. the
total transactions footing up $4,000 to
$4,000. The sales were mainly of the
better class of work and driving horses
The stock sold went largely TO North
Carolina points and portion of the
better classes went to Maryland and
Washington. The mule market was
also active. there being n healthy de-
mand for medium size farm mules.
About the same class and number of
horses are now on the way to Norfolk
from the West for next weeks sales.

Among the sales of the past week
was high class sorrel saddle mare
Bonnie i-assie." that brought $780,
ana was purchased by Alexander Ham
'ilton, of Petersburg, president of the
Petersburg Saving and Insurance Com
pany. Mr. Hamilton is Il lover of fine
horses, knows one when he sees one
and this will be valuable addition to
his stable.

the record as the fastest trotter ever

famous for her staying quality and
consistency. Probably her most famous
race was that in October at Lexington.

OF this great race the Horse Review

Ocean did not lay back on her oars, but

kept adding desirable members at
every meeting until she had almost
reached the five hundred mark. Mean

Norfolk, got her eye on the member

ing ''it' among all the councils of this
noble order in the Southland. Her re-
gent. Brother Neugebauer. entered ac-
lively into the fight and, laboring early
and late, he achieved Il most remark
able success. During his term of Office
he has brought in II very large num-
Der of members, far exceeding any
other regent in this section, and about
two months ago the new acccssions
that resulted from the efforts of him
self and the other members of Poca-
hontas Council were such that the
membership roll exceeded that OF
Ocean Council. Whether this honor re-
mains long where ii now rests is
matter of extreme doubt, as Ocean
Council is again actively at work, and
her membership roll grows apace. This
result is due to the active work here
of Mr.. Harry Kemp. deputy grand re-
gent of Virginia. who is one of the
most untiring and successful Royal
Arcanum workers in the South. Mr.
Kemp will continue his labors in the
