HE LIKES THE NORTHWEST
Postma ster Guyton of Cambridge
City, Invests in Considerable
Canadian Farming Land.

Mr. and Mrs. Omer Guyton have re-
turned home from trip to the Brit
ish northwest says the Cambride City
Tribune. They went as far west as
Banff, in the government reservation
and park of the Canadian Rockies
This was for sight seeing and pleas
ure. The business portion of this
visit was devoted to Calgary, Alberta.
They found this a thriving city of the
size of Richmond, and filled to over
flowing at this time with landseekers
principally from the United States.
The wheat crop is not so large this
season, but oats and root crops prom
ise abundantly. The live stock indus
try is of great Importance since the
cattle, sheep and horses feed from
the ranges and fatten without grain or
care. Mr.. Guyton believes it a re-
gion of great possibilities and purchas-
ed $50 acres of land Is miles north

Meeting to be Held at PaIIadi-
um Office Monday Night
to Arrange Tournament.
ALL PLAYERS ARE INVITED
ENOUGH PLAYERS HAVE SiGNl-
FLED THEIR INTENTION OF EN-
TERING THE TOURNAMENT TO
MAKE 1T A SUCCESS

On Monday night of next week there
will be meeting at the Palladium Of
fee of tennis players of Richmond for
the purpose of getting up city ten
mis- tournament. The meeting will be
held shortly after supper in order that
those desiring to attend the Carnival
or go to other places Of amusement
may be able to de-so. All interested
in getting up such tournament as
contemplated are invited to attend the
meeting. Enough players have al
ready signified their intention of en-
tering the tournament to assure the
success of the contest. All that now
remains is to arrange the time and
place Of playing.
1t has been suggested that the
Country Club courts be used exclu-
sively for the tournament on account
of their superiority over any other
courts in the city. The rules at the
Country Club forbid any but members
of the Club playing on the courts
and this would bar many of the play
ers who would like to take part in the
tournament If the tournament play
Club Courts the committee will be
appealed to. 1t is thought they
would be willing to have the courts
used.
1t is highly probable that prizes will
be secured and awarded to the team
winning the doubles and to the player
winning the singles. 1t has been sug-
gested that the per cent. basis be used
as a method of determining the abili-
ty of the players. AS the tourna-
ment will be more for the purpose OF
than for finding out
champion players of the city, it is
thought the percent system would be
better than that of having the losing
player drop out each time, as is done
in other tournaments.

TWO C|RCUSES TO
SHOW ON SAME DAY
HaqenbeCk's and Cole Bros.
Booked in Richmond for
Tuesday, August 7.
1T MEANS A CIRCUS WAR
HAGENBECk SHOW WILL PITCH
ITS TENTS ON NORTH NINE.
TEENTH STREET GRoUNDs-AN
UNUSUAL SITUATION.

On Tuesday, August 7, the citizens
of Richmond will witness the hardest
fought and only battle of it's kind in
the history of the city. This battle
will no be along the lines so often
thought of, however, but will be be-
tween the two circuses. Hagenbeck' S
and Cole Bros. At one time this year
it looked as though the circus aggre-
cations had given Richmond the icy
shoulder" but just at the time that
people were beginning to get accus-
toned to this thought, two circuses be-
gan clamOring to show in Richmond
on the same day, and Richmond will
probably have her share of the re-
nowned red circus lemonade and pea
nuts.
Probably the greatest fight between
the two shows will be in the securing
Of bill board rights. Partial rights
have been secured by the Cole Bros.
shows, but the extent of these rights
are not known. AS there are several
avenues however, to carry on adver-
tising, it can be said with certainty
that Richmond will be literally COW
cred with loud and glaring circus
posters, as each show will try to mo-
nopolize every nook and corner.
The Hagenbeck show has closed
its contract for feed with the H. J.
Ridge and Son feed store. 1t will use
5000 pounds of hay, 5000 pounds of
straw, 100 bushels of oats, Is bushels
of shelled corn and 500 bushels of
bran. 1t will show at the 10Th street
grounds, while Cole Bros. shows will
perform at South Sth and H streets.

He Appeals from Decision of
Board of Works to the
Circuit Court.
CITY IN PECULIAR CASE
IN CASE THAT GARTSiDE
SHOULD WIN SUIT THE CITY
STANDS TO LOSE s24oo-coM.
PROMISE PROBABLE.

Attorney Thomas J. Study acting
for his client William Gartside yes
terday made good his threat to ap-
peal from the decision of the Board
of Works in allowing Mr. Gartside
$4,000 damages to his plant. occa-
stoned by the closing of North Four.
teenth street for the benefit of the
Hoosier Drill Company. 4 suit for
$4,000 damages was filed in the cir.
cult court against the city. Mr. Cart
side had offered to take damages for
$4,000 but this the board refused to
agree to-
In his complain, he alleges that his
real estate and manufacturing plant
are worth $4,000 and that the real
estate itself $4,000. Damages will
be demanded by the obstruction of
the street to the extent of one-half
the value of the real estate He
claims that the 14th street crossing
is the safest and best crossing for
him to get from his factory to the
freight houses of the city and either
to ship or to receive manufactured
goods, the railroad track must be
crossed. The complaint alleges aside
from this crossing all others west OF
14th street are dangerous and are
frequently closed by passage of trains
or other traffic, causing delay in the
transportation of goods to and from
the factory; that the obstruction of
this street decreases the value of the
property which is a GOOD substantial
factory building of three stories.
City May Lose Some Money.
In case that Gartside should win
his case and be allotted more than
$4,000 the difference will have to be
made up by the city. Ont of the S., 100
which the City will receive as bene.
fit money from the American Seeding
Machine Co. and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co, $500 will be retained by
the City to cover such expenses as
advertising and the payment of fur
ther damages. Gartside was allotted
in assessment, $4,000 and he sres for
twice that amount. If Gartside wins
and is allotted by the court his full
demand of damages the City will be
out $2,400 or any other amount be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 which the
court may allow. unless the Hoosier
Drill should make good the amount
City Attorney Gardner in speaking
of the case last night intimated there
would be some sort of a settlement
made before the matter reached ac.
tive court procedure. and that even
if the case did go through that Cart
side would receive little more. II any,
than what the Board allowed him in
damages.
