several other states have made
goodly appropriations for repre-,
sentative buildings. Gen. Lee and
other prominent citizens of the
state are laboring hard for the sue
cess of the proposed exposition.
The colored passengers stared
wide-eyed at the shore while we
were passing Sandy Point, and upon
consulting the negro deck hands
for particulars was told a legend
of an uncanny midnight dance,
which they fully believed once took
place there, in which satan played
leading part. I know all our Red
wood friends who read this do not
believe in 'hants, but say, if you
could hear typical old plantation
darkey tell ghost story in the dim
and Pickering light of the fire place
well, what? Oh, nothing. only
your hair might need combing be-
fore you again made your appear
ance in the parlor.
We were greatly interested in
the fishing industry both at the
table and on the fishing grounds,
where we watched the fisherman at
work, raking for oysters or seining
for shad, sturgeon, blue fish, foun-
ders and numerous other kinds of
edible fish. We are told that the
weather was decidedly favorable to
fishing and consequently the river
and bay were dotted with fishing
schooners, anchored near the
grounds, while their owners piled
their calling in small boats near by.
Norfolk ended our trip by boat
as from there we went to Virginia
Beach on the electric cars which
run every hour. Norfolk proper is
supplemented by Portsmouth,, Cas-
port and Berkeley. This group of
trading, manufacturing and ship
ping communities has developed
within recent years in a phenomenal
manner. | was very much s1r-
prised at the activity and began 30
look for statistics and was more
than surprised at what I learned.
Norfolk is not only the great port
of rich interior, extending back
| to the watershed of the Ohio river,
and covering several states, but in
the center of the richest fruit and
vegetable section in the south, the
annual value of it's table products
alone, including fish and oysters,
exceeds $12, 900, 600. The shipment
of cotton from this point for the past
year was valued at SIS, 600, COO; job
bing 1914, 900, 900: manufactures $1O,-
600, 900, and lumber, coal and iron
plO, IOJ, UUU.
We had an opportunity to see the
great six masted ships and ocean
going steamers loaded for foreign
ports and on our visit to the navy
yards we saw the three Spanish
vessels, Reina Mercedes, Don Juan
de Austria and Isle de Cuba, cap
tured during the Spanish war, and
now undergoing repairs. We also
saw several battleships, monitors
and cruisers building or being re-
paired. But space will not permit
of my writing more.
After taking a roll in the sand.
washed white by the waves of the
Atlantic at Virginia Beach, we went
aboard the steamer Berkeley, just
in from New York, at Z O'Clock in
the evening, and after passing in
through the Roads, retired to- our
state room, to bed and to sleep I'M
til the next morning an hour after
the steamer had been tied up at the

numerous this year and the demand for
spaces correspondingly large, that, In

Not only will all the floors Of the
Grand Palais be filled, but also the Court
La Refine, the Conservatives and the an
nexed constructions, all OF the aballable
room being engaged.
According to the Intransgeant. the plan
OF the Automobile Club de France to hold
in 1906 an endurance race OF 5000 kilo-
metres (a125 miles). passing through the
principal capitals Of the Continent, does
not please all the persons concerned.
Several members of committees would
rather see organized a French circuit
than a European circuit, being Of opinion
that it would be preferable to bring
foreign contestants to France rather than
that French energy and French money
be expended on the other side Of the
frontier.
Partlsans of the European circuit,
however, maintain that 1t would be more
profitable for French manufacturers to-
exploit their products before the eyes of
foreigners.
At any rates, the committee charged
with studying the question OF the route
Will consider both sides and report to
the club. The opinion is expressed that
whether the circuit be located at home
or abroad the endurance race should take
place, and particularly In case no big
speed contest Is held.
