II Is Thought the Morean-Schoepf-Mc
Gowan Syndicate Would Rather Buy
Winters Road Than Build One of
Their Own.

From present appearances, in spite
of the statements issued from the
headquarters of the Morgan-Schoepf
MCGOWAN syndicate, there is little
likelihood<that an electric line will be
built between Richmond and Dayton
this summer. 1t is generally believ-
ed that the great syndicate which
owns many of the traction Dnes in
this part of the country and which
is now trying to get a connecting link
between this city and Dayton are try
ing to scare Winters, who owns the
Dayton & Western road into selling
his property. No right of way has
been bought, no franchises have been
asked and no surveyors are at work
on the proposed route. 1t is thought
that the Dayton and Western will be
bought, although the price asked will
have to be met before the property is
transferred.

Winston and his assistants arrived
in Richmond on May II and regis
tered at the Arlington Hotel from

interesting Richmond people, and es
pecially business men who are close

form of exercise. About a week ago
two classes, of between eight and
ten members each, commenced to
take lessons. There were to have
been ten lessons, and at the end OF
, the fifth, which was given OH Tues.

Accordingly, each member paid his
SIS on Tuesday evening and was feel
ing well satisfied with the course OF
lessons being given. The plan as out
lined by the Professor was to take ten
lessons and afterward. each person
could follow out the exercises after
the pattern set by the professor The
exercises were given without the use
of any appliances. and were similar
to those given in a setting-up drill In
