mists, and also by some people who
thought they did not want to see a
viaduct OF the character proposed to be
built go up In Richmond.
These sixteenth century thinkers
actually advanced the idea that a
viaduct over Marshall street across
the valley OF the shockoe and on to
Twcnty-frst street would be unorna-
mental and spoil some OF Richmond's
ancient beauty. Others said 1t would
be very dangerous. for IL a trolley car

great would be the fall thereof
There was some trouble in getting
rights and concessions from the city
fathers, and then came along panics
and rumors OF panics that made 1t
hard to make the necessary financial
arrangements for this great enterprise.
but all the same the dreamers kept
right on dreaming, and while they
dreamed they planned and they labored
and they hustled as tho average wide-
awake Richmonder knows how to
hustle. Every one OF them has lived
to see his dreams realized. and It is
a proud day for them.
Coming Of the Dawn.
= In time these patriotic dreauers and
twentieth century hustlers overcame
their difflculties, ali rights and con-
ccssions necessary were secured, satis-
factory financial arrangements were
made. and for the past several months
little armies of workmen have been
kept busy erecting the great viaduct.

pushing every branch OF the immense
work in order that the middle of Sep

and that Church Hill may be as close

centres of Main Street as any other
residential parts of the city.
What II Means to the People.
to Richmond by this wonderful i'm
provement and far-rcachlng convent
ence to Its residents and business peo-
pie are simply immense. The own
ers OF real estate on Church Hill and
the eastern and northeastern parts OF
the city Will surely be Immensely BEN
Gifted in the enhancement OF the
values Of their property. The indus
trial and manufacturing enterprises
and all the business interests beyond
the Shookoe Valley will become vastly
more valuable. and others will find
sites that are not now utilized The
building Of the v!aduct and the conse-
quent assurance Of rapid transit be-
tween these now separated sections of
the busy city will give an impetus to
manufacturing in the eastern part Of
the city that was never before known
and. In the nature of the case, could
not be known except through the in
strumentality of just such an enter
prise as this.
Work to Stand for Centuries.
The builders of the viaduct and the
Richmond and Henrico lines were suf-
hciently mindful of these facts. and so

AbroEated Concessions.

AbroEated Concessions.
When. because of panics and rumors
of panics, and because Of other una,
voidable hindrances, the company was
delayed in commencing work strictly
according to agreement. some of these
concessions were sought to be abro-
gated by the Council. and probably some
of them were stricken out. the Council
being able to take advantage of the
situation so to do. If any of these
concessions were really legally abro
gated, the city of Richmond can we'll
afford now to make them over again
and give the company everything that
was originally promised. Especially
should this tax exemption clause in
the agreement be re-enacted. If it
really ever was abrogated.-

A. & NJ. HAoA wxrsovgs.

The football game yesterday after
noon at College between an A. & NJ.
team and a bunch from the Kentucky
university was about the best joke of
the season. A. & NJ. had a walkover
and never once did their opponents
have chance TO win. Nearly every
man on the A. & NJ squad was given
a chance to play and members of the
second team played the larger part OF
the game. The feature of the game
was 70-yard run by F1inchum of A.
4 VI. Receiving the ball on the kick
off on the 10-yard line, he ran 20 yards
before he was downed. Ward, also of
A. & ~. made 40-yard run for
ON forward pass from
Flinchum. The final score was "a to 0.

few days on their first tour They
