Civ Beautiful.

The meeting at the Jefferson Hotel last
night OF the Civic Improvement League
was inspirational and full OF promise. 1t
was attended by large number of rep
rssentative men and women. so large,
itdeeci, that the parlor could not contain
the crowd. The speeches were all first
rate, and the entire proceedings gave as
surance Of the success Of the league. 1t
is now an institution of Richmond, and
will prove to be blessing to the COM
5r.unity.
We cannot but feel that the interest
manifested in this new institution Is the
direct outgrowth Of our late municipal
campaign, and the result of the primary
election Civic pride has been thoroughly
aroused, new hope has been born and
men ard women feel that under the new
administration there will be opportunity
sucli as never before offered to make
Richmond the cleanest and most beauti-
full city in the South. It is to that con-
summation that the Civic Improvement
League is pledged and the pledge will be
redeemed.

as the flowers had grown sufficiently
the league would be expected to provide

money 1t had for the purpose.

Eestion that 1t was not the poorer chill

ground for the children might be pro
vided there. Captain MCCARTHY fespond-
ed that 1t had been said against him
that he wanted to destroy al inc PARKS ilsa
