PROTESTS AGAINST THE SALE.

There was a-well- attended meeting OF
the Relief Hook and Ladder Company
last night. President j. H. Trimyer
presided. The main business before
the company was protest against the
city disposing Of the two frame houses
and lots adjoining the track house on
the east. The company induced the
city to purchase this property several
wears ago for the purpose OF erecting
on the sites OF the houses a new build
ing for the organization. Interest IN
the movement has since Jagged, and
the houses having become an eyesore,
a resolution was introduced in the City
Council last Tuesday night looking to
the sale of the property provided the
purchaser will erect on their sites mod
ern dwellings. President Trimyer ap-
pointed William c. Wildt, Thomas A.
Fisher. August Oehlert, f. Stuart
Smith. Charles DeMoll, to look into the
matter, after the company had passed
resolution protesting against the sale
President Trmyer is also member o.
the committee.

A DISAPPOINTMENT.

Az was stated in the Gazette aiUel
spectacular fight from the oenn LIZ
race track to the White HOUSE ana
return Claude Grahame-W niue Ilo'
18th two accidents at the track yester,
~ 49, ottarroon in which he smashed
S;: pIer;ot monopIane and injured the
Farman biplane. On his trip over
Washington the aviator flew arounu
.ha dnme of the Capitol and circled
the ton Of the Washington Monument.
TIE f;oht over the city was a com
nlete success. Grahame-White decided
last night that the accidents to his
RIeriot monoplane and Farman blplane
81 Renning render it impossible for
him TO try TO break the worlds en-
durance record during his present
visit to Washington. After the accidents
he wired to New York for another
Bleriot machine, but he learned last
night that il could not reach Washing
ton in time for a flight today or Sun
day. He will leave Washington Mon,
day to prepare for the international
meet on Long Island. So last night ne
issued a signed communication stating
that owing to the accidents TO both
his aeroplanes at Benning 1t Will DC
impossible for him to make such an
extended and hazardous flight
The announcement that there
| would be no flight today from Bennlngs
TO Jones's point was a great dlsappolnt-
ment to nearly every person In the
city, especially the younger generationi
who fell asleep last night to dream OF
the aerial fight they were assured
they would witness today.
All the arrangements had been
made yesterday afternoon by the
projectors of the test, who visited
Jones's Point, where a canvas signal
had been placed. Two physicians were
to be on hand and boats were TO be IN
readiness to rescue the aviator should
an accident befall him.
Some men and boys, who had NOT
heard that the flight had been caiieu
off gathered at different places on the
river front this morning and peered TO-
ward the northeast, anxiOusly awaiting
the appearance of the aviator. Many
people living in the surrounding county
who came here to witness the flight
were greatly disappointed when they
learned that the performance would
not take place.

HOLLAND WINS.

In the primary election held yester-
day in the Second congressional district
to elect delegates to convention at
Suffolk to nominate a candidate for
congress Col. E. f. Holland, state sen.
ator from Nansemond county, polled
almost as many votes as did w. j..
Young, OF Norfolk; H. l.. Maynard, OF
Portsmouth, and J. T. Deal, OF Nor
folk, combined, and his strength IN the
convention will be proportionate.
With three small precincts IN Nor
folk county and four in Princess Anne
to hear from, II lind will have 70
votes in the c..menlion. Young 81,
MAYNARD Is, and DIAL I Should there
be an effective cor,linali n against
Holland, the Nanscmoni man could
not win, and Deal, al,h uga lie polled
but SOL votes in the d,scl' would
probably stand a better charc' than
either Maynard or Young. Holland Sc
far has received a popular vote OF 3,
562, Young OF 1878, and Maynard OF
$50.
The election followed the annullmen'
OF the primary of August % on &C
count OF frauds committed by the state
central committee. Maynard and Young
we're the candidates in that primary.

SYNOD OF VIRGINIA

The second days session Of the Vir
ginia Presbyterian Synod opened in
Charlottesville at 9 O'Clock yesterday
morning with devotional exercises con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. B. F. Wilson, OF
Harrisonburg At the opening OF the
business session the moderator, DIR.
Russell Cecil, of Richmond, announced
the standing committees.
At II O'Clock one Of the most i'm
nortant matters before the Synod was
taken up-the centennial movement OF
the Union Theological Seminary, at
Richmond. 1t was founded In lSl2,
and will celebrate its centennial IN
1912.
The finances OF this institution are
desperately inadequate. A large
amount Of money must be added TO
the resources of the institution, or 1t
must retrench its work disastrously
Both the Synods Of Virginia and North
Carolina have resolved to endeayor to
raise $500, 900 centennial fund for
the seminary. To date more than
800. 900 of this amount has been
raised.
A communication was read from
certain representatives IN regard to
church unity. 1t was presented only
on the authority Of its signers, who
acted on their own responsibility. 1t
was referred to a committee.
No af ernOon session Of the Synod
was held At 4:30 in the afteronon the
members OF the body took street car:
to the university, where,i in Cabell Hall
they we're warmly greeted, by Presi'
dent Alderman.
The sermon at s O'Clock last nigh
was preached by Rev. DR.. T. X. En-
glish, OF Richmond.
Rev.C.W. Maxwell, of South Boston
Va, presented a report on the estab
lIsdment Of a home for the aged, rec
ommending that trustees be appolnte'
with authority to secure charter 10
such an institution.
The resolution asking the Genera
| Assembly to establish a home for IN
durable inyalids was voted down, as
did not seem wise to ask this OF tn
assembly at this time.
| The Synod decided to meet hereafte
on Tuesdays instead Of Thursday.
