South save two or three. / am told by
persons who make a study OF such
questions that this wll->be the very
best advertisement Richmond can have.
Second, Richmond is a manufacture
ing city, that and that alone--it is our
hearts blood--thercfore, IN every way
possible VIC must encourage the manu-
facturers that we now have. and en-
courage Others to como. Manchester
is particularly fortunate In having
splendid railroad facilities, and she
has squares and squares where fac
tories may be built with the three
grea- commercial arteries Of the South,
Southern, Seaboard and Atlantic Coast
Line, at both the front and back of
said factories.
Unless you have looked into this
question you cannot begin to realize
what this means, both to the laborer
and manufacturer j dislike to ac-
knowledge it, but Richmond is sadly
lacking in space for manufacturing
sites. Here in Washington Ward we
will have just what we need.
Just What City Needs-Homcs.
Third-Again. Mr.. President. blush
with shame to acknowledge that Man
chester has just what we need-homes
of moderate price, both for rent and
sale, where some OF the very best peo-
pie in the humble walks of life may
b. comfortably housed. You may not
know it, gentlemen. but one of the
Very first questions that rnanufac-
turer would fire at you, IL he thinks
of building plant here, would be
whether or not his employees could get
homes at reasonable rent. Only few
months ago gentleman told mo that
he had under advisement moving a
stove manufacturing plant here. He
said: IF I come viii bring 175 fam
lilies; 150 of those families Will want
homes at from SIS to $40 per month:
what can you do for them?' I had TO
confess that they would have to be
scattered all over town. and most OF
them miles from the site that he had
under advisement.
Let us take in our sister across the

lions to us Will be settled.

became effective December, 1906.
Now, sir. can already hear some
of my good friends here say, why did
you agree to give them 10 per cent.
of their gross receipts for streets
alone? My answer is short and simple.
When Manchester becomes a part
of Richmond we would only be spend
ing money in portion OF our own
territory. and the sooner the streets
are put in good condition the more
taxes we will receive and the more
she will grow. When We took In Il
part of Henrico the court required all
of the revenues received from annexed
section and $4,000 per annum addi-
tional should be spent in annexed Sec
ton.
Now 1 hear friend rising and in
a very serious way asking why we
agreed to let them retain their court.
My answer to this question Is that in
the next three to five years we must
have another court in Richmond to
relieve the Hastings Court; therefore.
in my opinion, this Is Il matter of very
little moment to Richmond, and one
in which Manchester seemed to feel
a deep interest.
Question No. 3. Why did you agree
to let them continue their present
water works? Because. sir for the
present we can run their plant cheaper
than we can install our water system
over there.
The Greater blessing.
Now, seriously, Manchester Is not
getting SO much in dollars and cents;
what she is getting and what she will
soon learn to prize more than any
other temporal blessing, is that she
will be a part and parcel of the
glorious city of Richmond. Let us re-
ceive her with open arms and not
begrudge few paltry dollars.
Her estimated assets amount to
100000. Her bonded debt is $4,000.
She has seventeen miles of water pipes.
She has eleven miles Of sewers from
four to ten inches.
Now, sir, we will look at the other
side Of tho question-.he benefits that
Richmond will derive-I shall only
name three. for do not wish to tres
pass longer than necessary upon your
time.
First. but not in my opinion the most
important. we will increase our popula-
tion about 1900, which, with our pre-
sent population should carry US up to,
and perhaps above, 10000 which Will
show that we have Jumped from $1,000

London.-A deputation of seamen
from all parts of the country who had
an interview with Mr.. Buxton, presi-
dent of the Board of Trade a few
DAYS ago, allege among other COM
plants that seamen at Antwerp are
marked on the body with the stamp
of the Shipping Federation before

AMERICAN HORSE WILL
RUN AGAINST BRITISH

Iondon,-The second race meeting
ar Newmarket will be held in October,
starting on the eleventh. Louis Win
ans the big turfman, is preparing an
elaborate campaign for his horse, SIT
Martin. sir Martin will be sent against
Bayardo and the cream Of the foreign
stables in England at the second New
market meeting.
The champion stakes in the big
event of the second Newmarket meet
ing will bring out as many flashy
entries as a derby.
Indeed. II all the horses recently
mentioned face the starter for the
championship stake, the race VIII be
more important than the 1910 derby
Among the eligibles for the cham
pionship stake are Lemberg. Neil
Cow. White Eagle, Dean Swift, Bay
ardo. Sir Martin, Greenback, Masta-
mia. Admiral Hawke, Mirador and
Rochester.
An amusing circumstance is the fac'
that Sir Martin Is being trained by
one named Joe Cannon.
II has delighted sportsmen to learn
that the late King Edward VII LEI,
his racing stud to King George V, and
that our new monarch intends lend
ing his support to the turf. Richard
Marsh will continue to act as trainer
and everyone hopes 1t will not be
many more years before he turns ou'
another derby winner.
It was confidently expected tha'
King George would support the turf
| \. y.
and it is easy to see the late monarch's
hand in the matter.
None better knew than he that g
king who was a good sportsman would
command greater respect and sup
port from the nation than sover-
eign who took no interest In sports
and pastimes. 1t is fortunate thai
King George has a keen taste fol
sports, and II will do no harm that
he personally favors shooting and ang.
ling to racing. The main thing Is
