And yet that night Andre called

The grading work has been done by
Cameron, Joyce & Co., and although
they have had to combat bad weather
conditions, they have been able to
get their part of the job done within
the time estimated for this work. The
ten days of good weather came Just
at the. right time to help out to a
great extent and nothing short OF a
heavy rain storm today will delay the
finishing of the job.
At noon yesterday, 1t was reported
to Mr.. Joyce that there was days
work left to do on the grading job.
There is a bridge to be put in first,
and. when this is done, the track lay
ing operations can begin. Track can
be laid Sunday If the Burlington
wants to start to work at that time
the contractors believe.
There is plenty of activity now at
the smelter site. Work is being car
ried forward as speedily as possible
and Indications point to the early
completion of the buildings.

RICHMOND, Va, May 21.-The re-
markable military spectacle that is to
feature the twenty-fifth annual re-
union of the United Confederate Vet
Grams in Richmond, June l, 2, and3,

honor, will be given on Thursday
night, June 3, in the big armory of the
Richmond Grays. At this will be
present many military commands in

gray uniforms. In order to accommo-
date the vast crowd that is expected, it
has been decided that the Richmond
Blues will give on the same night a
full-dress ball to the New England
and New York military commands that
are to attend the reunion.
With two grand balls on the final
night of the reunion there will be ac-
commodations for every one who cares
to participate.
The great parade on the morning of

ures of a reunion replete with unusual
events. The Adjutant-General Of Vir-
ginia has issued orders for the entire

the reunion parade. From the Virginia
Military Institute will come the entire
cadet corps, famous for it's drill and
military efficiency. New York and
New England are to send several crack
militia commands, on the invitation of
the Richmond Blues, while many
Southern States will contribute to the
military spectacle. Fifteen bands will
be in the parade and 10000 veterans,
on foot, horseback and in vehicles.
Work on Camp Stuart, where the
veterans are to be housed while here.
has been progressing rapidly. 1t will
be entirely completed long before the
first day of the reunion.
