/ The reception at the Jefferson hotel
Monday evening was greatly enjoyed.
An entertainment in the Richmond
hotel by Polk Miller, together with a
dance was the program for Tuesday
evening. The trip down the historic
| James river to jamestown, where d
/ landing was made, was the big fea-
ture of the weeks festivities, and con-
sumed the entire day Thursday. An
elegant chicken dinner was served on
the board. On the return trip lunch
was served. AS fitting finale to the
weeks pleasure, an elaborate ball was
given in the Jefferson hotel, which
eclipsed any ball ever given at any ma
tional convention.
To much praise can not be given
to George Rodgers and the balance of
his hard working committee for the
success of the convention. They
worked hard and long with the deter
mination to make the Richmond con-
vention the best ever. That they have
succeeded, every one in attendance
will most heartily join in one long
song of praise and will hold the con-
vention in 1913 in pleasant memory.

"Sorrel" Lebo has appeared on the
streets with a brand new Panama hat.
For some time the question has been
debated by the boys as to how "Sor-
rel" obtained sufficient money to pur-
chase a Panama hat. Some of the

loose to such an extent for hat. The
matter has been satisfactorily settled
