TOURNAMENT AND BALL.
Many North CarOlinians to be Present
at Cha e City on the 22nd of
September.
The Mec1lenburg, Chase City, Va,
Aug. 23.-Letters are already coming
in for CO.. w. T. Hughes from parties
who plan to come here for the tourn-
ament September 22nd. II is to be
an old fashioned riding tournament
with coronation ball afterwards, and
this will attract the bellies and beaux
from, many sections of North Carolina.
The fact that the railroad fare from
Raleigh is only $4.90 for the rourd
trip, and from other points equa( Y
low, makes this the most accessible
resort for the gathering of society
and business men generally
Some of the old timers will partici-
pate in the tournament Letters
came today from Durham, Goldsboro,
University of North Carolina and
University of Virginia, asking for in
formation about the tournament and
engaging rooms at the Mecklenburg
Hotel for that occasion.
1t is thought that there will be
unusual interest in this affair, as it
has been many years since tourna-
ments We're in fashion, and the re-
vival c; the sport together with the
interest in the coronation ball, is be-
coming the great fad in society.
