Richmond, Va., May 25, 1900.
To the Editor of "The Times:"
Since our entering into the field ot
street railway in this city, every effort
lias been made by adverse interests to
Impedo and crush out the new eniterpris'e.
Impediments of every kind have been
throwh in our way. In Xew York stand
ing advertlsemjents have been published
advising ithe old bondholders not to ex
chanse their bonds. In this city influentlal
men have been hired to circulate petltions
to our detriment. Inj'unctions have been
-threatened, and every possible Influence
has been brought to bear to discredit our
effor.ts to reorganizc. and rehabllitate the
old properties of the Richmond Railway
and l^iectric iCompany. but we have pro
ceeded quietly to carry out 1'althfuHy
every prosnise made. and to meet strictly
every requireiment of a most exeeedingly
harsh and stringent ordinance.
*?:: :e taking possesslon of .the old prop?
erties, scarcely a month ago, we have re
newed one square of girder track with
concrete and paved with new granite spalls
on Broad Street between Twenty-elghth
and Ttweratj'-ninth Streets.
Renewed two squares of double _irder
rail track, with concrete work, .and new
granite spall pavington Clay Street be
tween Monroe and Henry Streets.
Eaid new double girder rail track, with
concrete, and new granite spail naving on
Twcnty-lirst Street between Main and
Frankiin Streets.
And have under construction, with new
girder rails, concrete, etc., seven sauares
of new girder rails on Beeob S/treet, Har?
rison Street from Main to Broad Street.
AV; aro rapidly getting ready eleven
largo and commodious new cars for our
service. and have refurnlshed nnd re
painted' every old open car on the n ain
lines of our system. AVe have furnished
every old closed car,-, now in service on
Main Street, with new spring cane. seats
and backs, and havo under construction
for our patrensj and now nearly comnlet
ed. a large ar.d comfortable summer
Casino, capable of seating about 2.000 per
sons, a.t the Xew Reservoir, the- terminus
of all tho lines of street car.s in tiie citj-.
AVe have had tracks repaired all over our
lines, new bonds put in and in every rws
siblo manner attending to the physical
condition of the old property.
During the recent Carnival we trans
ported on our lines over 300,000 .passengers
without accident or delay. and furnisiied
from our Power plant EVERY EDECTRIC
LIGHT and all the commercial povver
used. and which was so necessary for ils
success. _
Up to April 23d we. reported to tne. City
Council that we had succeeded in getting
together every sr.are of stock in all tiie
Railway Companies, all the bonds of the
Seven Pines fftailway Company and all
those of the Manchester Railway and
lmprovement Company and some of the i
bonds of the Richmond and Manchester J
Railwav Conipaaiy. and now I send. you J
bclow a copy of a letter received to-day j
from the lisoal agents of our company m j
Xew York, which speaks vohmies, and j
shows that we have not been idle in other |
directions.

"Dear Sir?AA'e take pleasnre in lnforrn

hundred Thousand Dollars tfl.ttKWWi.
and we have been infonmed by holders of
other bonds of their intention to mahe
exchange by June lst, and we think by
that date we will have at least Ei_hteen
Hundred Thousand Dollars <$3.500,000) of
the old lionds for exchange. This is Xinety
(90) per centum of the entire issue of bonds
of tho old Richmond Railway and Elec

We think we have dfmor.strated to the

fusing their aid and countenance to the
endeavors of our opponents to hinder and
delajr our progress and success.

was much enjoyed by the congregation.

TThderstoed by the Methodist Church."
The next one will be on "Bar.tism?its
Mode." . .
The join't reception of tr.e three ladtcs
societies of the Grove-Avenue Baptist
Church on Friday night was a signal suc?
cess. Their guests numbered about four
hundred. All of them brought to the. ofli?
cers of the societies the warmest congrat
ulations unon the splendid success which
they had achicved. The elocutionary fea?
ture of the programme elicited much ap?
plause. Prof. Ramos presided at the
piano. The enthusiasm of the evening cul
minated with the shiging of two solos by
Miss McBain. This young artisL, who is
the contralto of the Grove-Avenue choir,
is destined to be a great attraction in
musical clrcles. To each of the presidents
Dr. Hawthorne presented, on behalf of the
societies, a bouquet of rare beauty. The
refreshments were delightful.
Rev. Dr. Hening, pastor of Fulton Bap?
tist Church, has returned from the Baptist

BIBLICALDEBATES
Interesting Mcctinjjs at Auditor him
Monday, Tucsday and Wednesday
Mr. Alex. Fackie and Rev. J. E. Smith
are the speakers at Uie "Biblical Dey
bate." which will be held at the Auditorium
Monday, Tucsday and Wednesday nights
next.
They are both very ra.pid speakers. and
as a fuil repcrt of the proceedings will be
made, it was found necessary to sccure
the services of two of the most raoid
ste.nographers in the city.
These are Misses Fannie McCur.ly and
Sadie Huggins, both graduates of the Arir
ginia Business College, of which Prcf.
Davis is manager. Tlie young ladies do
?credit to the institution, and a moit tho
rough and comprehensive r?port of the
"Biblical Debates" is assured.
Messrs. Reynolds & Eby, the well known
fiorists, have kindly consented to furnish
flowcrs and notted plants for the beautifi
cation of the Auditorium, and the Ianre,
pleasant building, wfhieh is given free of
charge by the Traction Company, will
present a* beautiful appearance, the more
so as tho compatny will see that it is bril
liantly illuminated each night with vari
celored lights.
It was decided to hold the meetings at
the AudEtorium since no building in the
city could accommodate the crowds that
will a.ttend. There will be no charce for
admission, and no collection will be taken
up.
Abundance of cars will be provided to
handle quiekly and comfortably those who
attend, no matter how great the number.
Hon. S. S. P. Patteson will preside over
the ineetings. Dr. P. P. Starke. of .this
city, will be imodcrator for Mr. Smith,
and Hon. James L, Shelton, of Louisa, will
