BETTER FACILITIES
FOR PARKING; CARS

Although the site selected for the
now park is some distance further
west than Broad street Park, this
deportation difficulty can lie easily
overcome by the Virginia Railway and
Power Company. and il is even be
licVcd that better street car service
can be provided for the new park.
The distance between the old park and
the new grounds can be covered in
about five minutes. while the new site
will afford better facilities for trans
porting the crowds away from tho
grounds. Only limited number Of
ears could he held in reserve for the
crowds last year because of the inter
ference with the main trunk lines Of
the city. but the new park viii en-
able the company to use its Fair
Grounds loop. aTordinG a continuous
run for the ears.
That the Climbers will have base
bah plant Of their own this season
Will set at rest many fears felt by
fans for some time. While the matter
has been hanging fire there has been
much speculation as to what would
become Of the local club. This matter
OF course. did not cause the maEnates
worry. for they knew arrangements
would lac completed in plenty Of time
for tho opening of tho 1917 scason. but
tho mass Of fans in Richmond did not
have this information.

SEATTLE MINISTER
DELIVERS ADDRESS
Rev. Powers Gives Stirring Address
to Large and Appreciative
Audience

Believing Great Things and Do
ing Great Things" was the subject of
the address given by Rev. ]. D. o.
Powers of Seattle to the college COM
munity Tuesday morning at the regu-
lar chapel period. The speaker was
brought here by the Twentieth Cen
fury club and was the first speaker
of the year. Rev. Powers is a clear,
fOrceful speaker and succeeded in
commanding the attention of his au-
dience from the first.
The speaker began by discussion
of the different types of men-the
men who want to know why, those
who want to possess the earth, those
who philosophize about it, those
who know, who are the sears and
prophets, 1t is this latter class, he
said, which is the greatest of the
three and in whose hands the future
of the world is. These are the men
who believe and who can see into
the future. BY their prophetic vision
they are enabled to do great things
He who would do great things
must first of all believe great things.
Great achievements require high
ideals. Ignoble ideals result in
mean accomplishments and retro
gression." The speaker continued
by showing how the mind must be
kept open to the higher things in
life. Ones thinking and believing
has an effect on one that is hard to
realize. he said. by your believing,
young men and young women, you
can make of yourselves Neros or
Caligulas. And by believing you can
make Christs of yourselves"
Rev. Powers stressed especially
the fact that opportunities are every
where and are only waiting for the
man with vision to discover and de-
velop them. Every single foot of
land on this earth of ours has the
same potentiality as the richest bit
in the country" All that is leacking
| is someone who can see it.
Concluding, the speaker mentioned
a few of the problems that confront
the people today and that require
men with vision to solve. The preb-
lens of the distribution of wealth
was mentioned as one of the great
est of these. And addressing himself
to the young people especially, he
said. Il want you to believe great
things for / want you to do great
things in this world of ours. Upon
you depends the destiny of the
future"
