THREE DAYS FREE CELEBRATION IS BEST EVER HELD HERE

by T. A. Weinke was especially
we'll received and Is especially
worthy of mention considering
the fact that MIR. Weinke had
no time at all for preparation.
The struggle for the purse on
Monday afternoon was between
the winners Of the first and Sec
ond games. Pine Ridge and Con-
don teams. 1t was a highly in
teresting game from start to fin
ish, and although the score ran
high. l6 to l5. not one of the
immense crowd present left the
grandstand before the end of
the game. 1t was a wonderful
exhibition of balloon ascensions
that the two teams handed out
to their supporters and the ex-
citement was high in every in
ming. Neither team was ahead
any two innings in succession
and long hits were many. That
Pine Ridge won the game is due
to the excellent pitching Of Har-
Ian. II was a case Of the pitcher
playing the game himself for his
support was ragged and in the
last inning with the score tied it
was his safe hit into right that
brought home the winning run.
The batteries were: for Pine
Ridge. Harlan, Kaesmyer and
Hawes. and for Condor, Harts-
horn and Fitzmaurice. Lester
Wade officiated as umpire and
his decisions were impartial and
satisfactory.
The street amusements which
were held on Saturday and Mon
day evenings were carried
through in a madner highly sat
isfactory. The winners Of the
different proceedings are as fol-
lows. 100 yard dash-Lester

The free dances which were
held on Saturday and Monday
night were attended by the larg-
est crowds ever gathered in the
rink. The returns of the JEFF
fries-Johnson prize-fight which
were announced by rounds at the
ball grounds proved of great
interest although the result was
a disappointment.
There were no accidents, the
crowd was orderly and everyone
present went away feeling salts
fed. Those who worked for the
celebration have reason to feel
proud of their efforts to provide
a first class celebration for the
residents of the county.

TRAFFIC LAW NOT
OBSERVED BY ALL
Police Less Vigilent in Report
ing Drivers in View Of
Numerous Dismfssals.

t. ~
Discouraged by reporting violatprs
of the rev traffic law and then wait
dngain Police Court for several hours
to testify, only to have the cases dis
missed, policemen are shutting their
eyes to the misconduct Of drivers.
AS result of the controversy now
going on over the exact meaning of
the traffic ordinance. there was not a
single report filed in Police Court yes
terday by officers. This is in striking
contrast to the average of from fifteen
to twenty reports which have been
made daily heretofore.
Ex-Alderman Elicit, the patron or
the traffic ordinance, was present in
court yesterday. He said that 1t was
not his idea that all minor violations
should be the basis of formal COM
rlaint He said the police should use
more discretion.
John Rizner, a Henrico farmer, re-
ported several days ago for violating
the ordinance, was fined. Patrolman
Dunn testified that Rizner paid his re-
spects 10 the ordinance when his at
tention was called to its violation.
Rizner said that he did not remem
Der making the remarks attributed
10 him by the officer, and If he did
s rake them he was sorry. because the
law is a good one and should be en-
forced.

yesterday by The Dispatch, IN
announcing the census returns for thiS
city. that with the same area as Att

l.1s4,897, the figures given out yester-
day for Birmingham, Ala, were heard
with much interest.
The area OF the Alabama city is
4s.3 miles, according to statement
wired The Times-Dispatch yesterday
by Mayor Harry Jones. This means
that It has more than four times the
ground covered by Richmond, and yet
can exhibit only a few thousand more

Officer.

This is New Years Eve with all the
departments of the state government.
BY law the fiscal year of the Common
WEALTH ends with the close OF bust
ness to-day. New books will be opened
old accounts closed, and annual reports
of officers and departments made up
from this day. Tomorrow will be
New Years Day.
Unquestionably the difference in the
official years works good deal of
confusion and additional labor, say all
the State officials. With the calendar
year beginning July /, the appropria-
ton year on March 1, and the fiscal
year on October /, 1t Is sometimes cx-

All are agreed that at least the
fiscal and appropriation years should
be made to agree IT could be done by
the Legislature, in decreeing that
books should be closed on February
IS of some year, and begun the next
morning contemporaneous with the be-
ginning of the appropriation.
Again. there are other years with
reference to certain tax matters. Pub
lis service corporations make their re-
ports as Of June 80. However. this Is
probably unavoidable
All land assessors who are charged
with the new real estate valuations for
the coming five years are expected to
have their books in the Office of the
Auditor of Public Accounts by the
close of business to-day. Since the
publication few days ago by The
Tlmes-Dispatch OF the fact that their
time was limited. many assessors have
completed their work and have sent In

congestion at the office. Piles OF books
