 vicinity of Norfolk are rich in
 Jric value, the seaside resorts in at section are the centers of gay so- cial life in the summer season and the naval display witnessed in Hampton Roads surpass in magnitude and bril- liancy those of any other harbor in this country.

It is predicted that the crowds visiting Norfolk and Jamestown in August and September will be enormous and that the general verdict will be favorable to the exposition.
