Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND. Va, June 25, 1902
The convention reassembled a few min
utes after noon today, with nearly ninety
members in attendance. Mr. Blair of
Wythe made an effort to have list of
members of the boards of registration for
Wythe substituted for those recommended
by the committee.
. In opposing the resolution, Mr.. Stuart Of
Russell said that the statement made by
Mr.. Blair to the effect that he (StuarD had
solicited the naming Of the board for
Wythe was a faisehood.
The resolution was defeated as was one
by Mr.. Moore of Montgomery to substitute
a list for Montgomery.
The usual resolutions of thanks to the
president and secretary were approved
and Senator Daniel presented President
Goode with handsome gold watch and
chain. Mr.. Goode made a feeling speech.
The engrossed constitution was present ed
to the convention at 2 o'clock and was
read. 1t was decided that the members
should sign in alphabet order.

1t Is needless to say that those who

use. Arc lighting was produced on
commercial basis in 1877, but the real
beginning of electric lighting in its
modern aspects was with the opening
of the Pearl street station of New York
by Edison in September, 1882, where
the Edison incandescent lamp was
used. In the nineteen years since then,
according to careful tabulation made
by the Electrical Review. the invest

Better Ball Team.

Florence is to have better ball
team. This statement is made by
Manager Moore. A good pitcher and
one or two general players are needed
and DIR. Moore is now ON the hunt
for first class men. The ball tossers
in other cities are putting up faster
article of base ball this year than
previously and the doctor feels that
in order to keep Florence in the race,
better men must be secured even if il
does cost a little money. Florence is
capable of supporting team but
pride impels it to demand one that
can at least hold its own with teams
from other parts of the state. The
boys cross bats with the Victor Eagles
here tomorrow afternoon which will
give all chance to judge how Flor
ence stands
