of the football game played at
Charlottesville with the University
of Virginia. When news of the
game reached Lexipg ton indicat-
ing that the Lexington team had

a tie, the cadets at once planned
for a celebration. Saturday night
the first classmeh, who came up
town, proceeded to parade Main
street with an imprcmptu band,
the music being furnished by
various and sundry tin pans.
After ind alging in this pastime
for short time, they decided to
have a bonfire, and at once pro-
ceeded to gather combustible ma
terials Tor this purpose. Lcden
with boxes and other burnables,
the young ren marched to the In
stitute grounds and on the hill OPP
posite the barracks they proceeded
to set off their bonfire. At $3.50
the corps of cadets joined the fret
classmen and together they had
their iolifcation with fireworks
and bombs.
Sunday night when the team
came home, the fret class met them
at the depot with tally-ho and
pulled the grldiron warriors in
triumph to the Institute, where
they were received with marked
enthusiasm.

they preferred to be married in
the vehicle. At first Mr.. Henry
couldn't understand the reason for
their request, but it was explained
that the groom had recently suffer.

Heavy Cattle ard Hay Shipments

Cattle and hay shipments for
the past week have been unusually
heavy from the Lexington depot.
Several car loads Of cattle and a
like number of hay are cent out
each day, and there is demand for
yet more cars to supply the need.
Many of the cattle are brought
here from Botetourt county by Mr.
William Jennings and are shipped
to Rockingham county where they
will be fed for export.
The shipment of lime by the
Rockbridge Lime & Stone Co. is
also considerable, several cars
day being used for this purpose.
In addition to the shipments from
Lexington, the consignment of
goods to merchants in the town,
renders the equipment of the rail-
roads here inadequate to the
needs. In many instances una
voidable delays occur, much to
the disadvantage of dealers here.

Charlottesville Saturday
TIE following report of tn,
game Saturday in charlottesville
appeared in tie Richm ond Times
Dispsi CHI Of Sunday: In one of the
fastest and most spectacular games
ever ylayed on Lambeth Field, Vir-
GINA won from the Virginia Mill
tary Institute today, Is to II. Each
eleven made the same number of
touchdowns, the only difference
being that the cadet quarterback,
Doyle, missed his last try at goal,
although he had ar easy chance.
The cadets played surprisingly
strong game, and proved them
selves fully match for the uni
versity in every department of the
game. The result was in doubt
until the last moment, and the
whistle sounded the end of bril-
liantly fought battle.
The pace set by both teams at
the very outset of the contest was
fairly bewildering, and through
cut the fifty minutes of play there
was never dull moment. The
spectators were keyed up to high
pitch of excitement by the rapid
fire of punts, onside and quarter
back kicks, together with double,
triple and forward passes galore.
In fact, nearly every variety of
play that the new game afford,
was attempted with more or less
success.
The cadets outplayed Virginia
in the second helf, and by hard,
straight football, scored two touch
downs to one for Virginia. The
cadet line was stronger than Vir-
ginia's, but Virginia exceled in
the backfield, the individual work
of Honsker and Crawford being at
times sensational.
The V. M. L. lineup was as
follows: right end, Ward Alex

guard, Wickha III ;certre, Hancock;

Rev. Alfred T. Graham, ID. ID.
Installed Sunday,
The services incident to the
installation of Rev. Alfred L.
Graham, D. D., as pastor OF
the Lexington Presbyterian
church, were held last Sunday
morning at IL o'clock, and were
witnessed by large and apprecia
tive congregation. Impressive
ness was Leaf to the occs sion by
the presence Of the venerable faith
er of the new pastor, Rev. Jamee
R. Graham, d. D.. of Winchester.
Va, who preached the sermon of
the morning.
Rev. l.. B. TurnbGll, d. d., pre-
sided, made the invocation, an
nounced the hymns, read the Scrip
ture selection and offered prayer.
After announcements the collect
ion was taken for the benefit of the
church debt.
The sermon by DIR. Graham
of Winchester was based on the
9th verse of tie 2nd chapter of
jonah, "Salvation is of the Lord. "
The venerable preacher prefaced
his sermon by expressing his APP
probation of being present on this
occasion, through the courtesy of
the invitation of Presbytery and
by the desire of the Lexington
congregation. His presence here,
he said, possessed a sentimental
interest to him, by reason of the
feet that the pastor elect was his
own son. The sermon was an able
presentation of the great plan Of
salvation, of which God is the
author, who has provided the plan,
appointed the the terms upon
which it can be accepted. has en-
dowed man with the faculties of
perception and acceptance: and
has placed before his creatures
motives for acceptance.
At tie conclusion of the sermon,
DR.. Turnbull propounded the
questions to the pastorelect, and

DR.. Graham regularly called and
installed pastor of the church. DR..

his work aud visit0tions. Because
mis- ministry is helpful to you tell
him so, were some OF the senti-
n ents expressed By DR.. TurnbuIl,
and he concluded with the remark
hat he believed the pastoral re-
alton begun so auspiciously would
be a long and fruitful one.
The charge to the pastor was
delivered by Rev, D. A. Pentck,
D D., who said that it was not
lis purpose to charge the new pas
.or as to his pulpit miDistrations,
pastoral visits, work in the Sab
oath school and the various socie-
lies of the church, because his
varied experience and successful
work in the past wos an earnest
hat such counseling would be un-
necessary. He reminded the new
pastor that be would find here
arge number of sweet minded
Christians, whose devotion to
heir church is sincere and loyal,
md who would give TO their pas
or hearty support In all his I'M
lertakings.

feet their victory was due. o..
the other hand Washington and
Lee was much better on the de-
FENCE. Few gains wsre made
around their ends and practically
none through their line. On the
offense w. and l.. made several
good gains In end runs and
through the line, but seemed to be
unable to make the necessary
ground at the critical points.
