WEATHER REDUCES
FESTIVAL PROCEEDS
AND ALL PROFITS

All expenses of the Richmond Cen
tennlal Exhibition have been provided
for and it is probable there will be a
surplus of between $1,000 and $4,000
this depending upon today's business.
Half of the surplus goes to the pro.
motion company represented by H. B.
Marx. The remaining fifty per cent
OF the surplus goes to the local parties
financially interested in the project
the concerns which purchased space in
the exhibition section. Some have ad-
vocated donation Of a part of the sur
plus to the Commercial club, after
the promotion company receives it's
share, the remainder to be rebated,
on a prorata basis, to the exhibitors
Expenses of the exhibit were pro-
vided for before the centennial began
through contributions and sales of ex-
hibition space. These expenses will
be little in excess of $4,000.
Had the weather been favorable
there probably would have been a
surplus of between $4,000 and $15, 900.
Centennial officers are well satisfied
with the financial results when they
take the blunders of the weather man
into consideration.

WAR review
FOR The DAY

Some of the bloodiest fighting in
the war marks the great battle be-
tween Servians and Bulgarians in
Macedonia where the Serbs are driy-
ing toward Monastir. The Bulgarian
war office in an official announce
ment makes particular reference to
the desperate character of the fight
ing. By capturing Monastir the Ser
vians will have driven home wedge
from which they can begin the real
work of re-conquering their lost king
dom. But they are meeting withre-
sistance as stubborn as the savagery
of their own attacks.
The chief incident on the western
front was great air battle last night
above the Somme battlefield in which
seven German machines were shot
down. Four other German machines
were damaged.
On the eastern front and on both
sides of Roumania attacks and counter
attacks follow without cessation. II
is admitted that the Russo Roumanian
forces have lost some ground in Lob
rudja but in Pennsylvania their at
tacks have won them fresh ground.
In Russian and Galicia fighting is
in progress over a front of 500 miles.

WORKS BOARD ASKS
COUNTY TO REPAIR
TEMPORARY BRIDGE

Claiming that the floor on the tenn
porary Main street bridge is unsafe
Charles Marlatt, representing the
board of works. made an appeal to
county commissioners today to have
them provide for its repair. The com.
missioners took the matter under ad.
visement.
There is a legal question involved
in the proposition. 1t is the general
understanding of the commissioners
that since the bridge is located within
the city limits, the city should pay for
repairs
The question will be referred to the
county attorney.

has made no statement as to his polit-
ical plans but some of his close friends
have stated that he is considering en-
tering the contest for second term"

forerunners of formal announcement

would enter the primary contest for
