MISTAKE MCCARTHY
FOR JUSTICE JOHN

ing Under wrong Impresslsa.
The real story Of the trip Of the
city officials Saturday to the Glymps
farm as the guests Of g. N. Brooks &
Co. win probably never be told.
1t was the interesting fact that Cap
tain Carlton Mccarthy was mistaken
by the ladies on the reception commit
tee for Justice John. And they served
him larger chunks Of turkey and
chicken than any one else in the hun
cry party.
Not until the visitors were about
to return to Richmond were the minds
Of the charming ladies disabused,
The officials made a thorough and
critical inspection of the magnificent
tract. On every hand were indications
OF fertility. while wood abounded. Man
ager Mckay took much pleasure In
pointing out the various places OF In
terest. He showed the party a num-
Der of mahogany and walnut trees,
and carried them through the old Co.
lonial residence, which was built back
about Revolutionary times. At the
foot OF graceful hills and banks, fiows
the peaceful Pamunkey River. while
two public roads run through the
farm. and the railroad lies within two
miles and a half
Some OF the inspectors thought the
place typical one for the purposes
of city farm. because OF It's proximity
to both the river and the railroad.
with many opportunities for further
development.
The party was delayed nearly an
hour on It's return trip by the stalling
Of an automobile containing Commits
sioner Hobson and Councilman Jeter.
After fruitless efforts to get It run
ming. II had to be abandoned and the
passengers were carried to the train
In another car.
Some Of the party returned by au-
tomobiles. making the trip in less than
an hour. On the road to the farm
are the old historic places, Gaines
Mil Cold Harbor and Old Church
None of the commissioners would
express themselves concerning the i'm.
preston made upon them, but 1t could
be readily seen that all Of them en-.
joyed the outing and were much
pleased with the reception rendered
by the agents and the manager OF the
farm, not to say the ladies who served
a most delicious dinner under the
trees on the lawn of the old mansion.
