About this time a dock hand, McDou-
gall by name, on BiSsell's wharf in De-
trolt, dreamed a dream. He dreamed
that one warm night he was taking his
accustomed plunge in the cool, dark
river, when a fearful monster suddenly

ertions to reach shore tie was unable to
decide whether the dreadful creature was
an enormous Whale or a ship in the form
OF whale. With this dream as a foun-
dation, Capt. McDougall began the ex-
periments which have resulted in that
marvel of American waters-the whale

Football.

Richmond College football team
came to Lexington Friday, played the
Virginia Military Institute eleven Sat
urday and Washington and Lee Mon
day, being defeated in both games.
The game Saturday resulted in a
score of 33 to in favor or the cadets.
The visitors put up good ball, but
they were outplayed at every point
by the cadets, who hammered the col
legians' line for gains. Richmond
seldom had the ball and then resorted
to kicks.
Monday the game was played in a
downpour of rain and Washington
and Lee piled up a score Of 20 to 0.
Again the visitors failed to gain by
bucking line and resorted to kicking
when they got the ball, which was
seldom. The features were Smiths

Synod of Virginia in Session at
Norfolk.

The Synod of Virginia embracing
Presbyteries in Virginia, West Vir
GINA, Maryland and District Of
Columbia, last week held it's 10th
annual session in the First Presby-
terrain church of Norfolk, beginning
Tuesday night and closing Saturday
afternoon. The opening sermon was
preached By Rev. w. H. Woods, ID.
d., of Baltimore, the retiring mOder-
ator. Rev. DR.. F. j. Brooks of Alexan-
dria was elected moderator.
The most important question con-
sidered was the division of Synod
The committee sreport recommended
the division into two Synods, Virginia
and West Augusta, with the Blue
Ridge as the dividing line, the first to
comprise the Presbyteries of Norfolk,
East Hanover, West Hanover, Roam
oke, Chesapeake and Maryland; the
second, Presbyteries of Winchester,
Lexington, Montgomery, Abingdon,
Kanawha and Greenbrier. A sub
stitute was offered to divide Synod
into three Synods with Washington,
Richmond and Staunton as their
centers. The question came up for
discussion several days but no decis-
ion arrived at, and the matter goes
over until next years meeting.
Another matter ofinterest was the
selection of the location for the
Presbyterian orphanage. A nulnder
of cities and towns offered special
inducements for the establishment OF
the orphanage in their midst. Mr.. A.
T. Barclay representa- / Lexington and
offered Hotel de Hart at S12, 900, with
special inducements from the town
and a gift of 81, 900 from the ladies OF
the Presbyterian church. Lynchburg
was selected on condition that one
half of the cost of the site be paid by
that city.
The committee on century fund |
reported that of the 1925, 900 to be
raised, $4,000 had been secured.
Four years remain to secure the
balance.
In all address by Rev. DR.. w. S.
representing the Virginia
Bible Society, the surprising state
nent was made that there are so, 900
families in Virginia that haven't any
part of the Scriptures in their homes.
Synod will hold the next session at
Abingdon, Va, beginning the Tues
lay following the third Sunday in
October, 1903.
