Men About Town.

While coming down Broad street
Yesterday with our forty dollar over
coat and patent leather gloves on, we
noticed a large crowd of simple-look-
ing young men standing at the corner
of Seventh and Broad streets Upon
Investigation we observed that they
were all wearing seven-dollar hand
e-down suits and wore canes OF the
style OF 81 We thought they were in
line to sign up with Uncle Sam to get
to the front and take care of the fire.
sides of the country.
So we wept tears of gratitude that
there were SO manX young men OF pa
triotic instinct. andS they reminded US
of when were in the sunny spirit OF
youth, many years ago. when John
Starke started the little scrap in Cuba
and Captain George Skipwith went TO
the front with so much eclat
But, after we had wiped the tears
from the front of our blue vest which
we paid two-fffty for at Berry's, with
our white silk handkerchief, we found
that the multitude of young men had
simply gathered to see that beauti-
full young lady in hobble skirt did not
fall in getting on Forest Hin car
How brave and noble!

BILLINGS STRING
TO QUARTER HERE

1t is interesting to know that the
famous Billings stables will be
brought to Richmond. Mr.. Billings
having purchased the Curtis Neck
farm, where he will reside most of
the time. will naturally have his long
strong of famous horses here.
Richmond is a logical place for
the training of horses. With one Of
the best mile tracks in the country.
and with fine winter weather. no
place on the map could be found with
more suitable conditions.
The horses may be kept in training
at the State fair grounds.
Frederick L. Johnson. of New York,
will also. have his string at the fair
grounds.
All this is. indeed. good news, for
it looks like a return to the good old
days when Virginia sent out the best
horses in the country.
