The failure or success of the James
town Exposition will not affect Nor
folk alone. Though the grounds are
at Norfolk, the undertaking is of and
for the whole State, and the good name
and prestige of Richmond are there
fore vitally involved
In response to this feeling, because,
as Virginians. 1t is our exposition, and
because in themselves the exhibits.
the buildings and location are worthy
of the best efforts ever put forth on
such occasions, Richmond desires to
show her interest in this great under
taking by sending record making
and breaking delegation to the James
town Exposition on Richmond Day
The sentiment is worthy, and the
other significance. it is most desirable
that the citizens of Richmond shout,
have the inspiration and example Of ;
great gathering at one time and plac,
under a common impulse. Were !
only to go On an excursion 1t woul,
be well worth while, If twenty-five
thousand persons assembled at an,
given place, not as pleasure seekers
but as fellow citizens of no mean city
The people of Richmond do not know
how great this city is. They do no
comprehend how great an impress the
assembled masses will make on tn
participants themselves-as we'll as
on the beholders. It is n sense o
mond's future growth and present con
fidence that has led the Chamber o
Commerce and the business organiza
tons to take so keen an interest il
making Richmond Day a credit to tn
rity 1t celebrates.
The Board OF Aldermen knows thes
facts. and should be susceptible t
these feelings; and yet. with only tiv
days TO spare, the necessary appro
priation Is not made. because tn
Board of Aldermen cannot get
puorum!
This is no time for self-indulger
airings. The Board should have
quorum at a special meeting on Sa,
hrday, and the appropriation should /
passed in time to insure the success
pf day that will reflect to ourselve
Us well as the outer world the aggre:
sive spirit, the great resources, an
the deserved confidence which the cit
Eens of Richmond have in their city.

OFF FOR COAST

Covered with leis and accompanied
by the shouts of host of friends
Charlie Chillingworth this morning
left in the Alameda for his first visit
to the Coast. His friends were busy
advising hIm to !Gok out for bunko
men and gold bricks and warned him
to stay in doors after dark lest some
one should hart him.
The runners as 10 what Chilling
worth's intentions are have been NUM-
erous. Some said that he was going
TO Harvard to take law course. This
does not seem very probable, however,
as the extent of his baggage, consist
Ing merely of a hat case, indicating
that it held a "stove-pipe," would not
indicate a very lengthy stay abroad.
Others thought that the Kumeric mat
ter would engage the attention of the
lawyer of the hui which had char
tered the vessel, while others had it
that he was going to follow the lure
of gold. The latter report is probably
the correct one. AT least it was con-
frmed by Chillingworth, who said that
it was his intention to look into a GER
tain mining proposition.

nave been found They left Portland
Tuesday night and will arrive here
today. But there will be no social fes-
tivities during their stay here, for just
as soon as the time schedule will per"
NIT they will be off to Lakeport to
visit the family of Charles NJ. Ham
mond, Mrs. Longworth's uncle
photographic dispatches intimate
that Mr. and Mrs. Longworth will re-
main at Lalleport with the Hammonds
until just before the sailing of the ST.
IBERIA on the 25th, on which they have
engaged passage for Honolulu.
This will necessarily postpone the
San Francisco entertain
ments until their return, and the in
ference to be drawn is of subtlety
that renders 1T difficult for San Fran
cisco society to determine its exact po-
sition in the Longworth estimation.
According to present plans the
intend remaining at Hon
Olulu until September 5th, when they
will set sail for their home without
stopping here any longer than it takes
to catch train
