Exact optimate? ns to tho number of people who came to this city Thursday to witness the foot-ball game aro diffi? cult to obtain, as ttv? railroads have hot yet. made up lhoir reports, and can nn)y tell approximately. Tho Chesapeake nnd Ohio Hallway Is osi ima tod to have hauled at leapt 2,000 people, and some statements place the number at 2,ii00. Tho Seaboard Air Line brought about BOO; the Southern about. 400? the Coast Line about ?100, and the Norfolk and Western, which ran no special train, landed upwards of 200. Making no al? lowance for those who came lo the city two or three days before the game, It is. estimated that the number of visitors coming by rail was in the aggregate fully :?;,???. Of this number practically all went out to seo the game. This would make tho number of out-of-town people thera upwards of four thousand, and Richmond contributed at least three thousand moro. Many conservai Ivo estimato? by persons experienced in Judging crowds places the total number who saw the gamo at more than G.000, and many say 7.U00. Mr. Murray McGinre, who had charge of tho arrangements for the game hero, was out of the city yestorday, and hence tho exact statement of the gross re elpis could not b secured. Certainly It was the largest crowd that has wit? nessed any athletic event In this city In many years. |f It was ever equalled. Norfolk's attendance nt the Virginia Indian game was a mere handful In comparison, and the Norfolk press esti? mated that at five thousand and over. The splendid crowd insures Richmond's Kitting all the big sanies next year, many of which hnve. boon played at. Nor? folk for several years. It Is hoped that the Virginia .Military Institute-Vir? ginia Polytechnic. Institute nnd tho Vlr glna-Indan same, and the North Caro? lina-Georgetown game will all be secured for Richmond next year.

MORE TIME TO PAY TAXES An Extension of a Month This Year?The Folkcs Rail ? road Amendment. Tho session of tho Legislature yester? tiny was devoid of groat Interest, Iho only feature Hioliifr the concurrence by the House In tho action of the Sonato In passing, notwithstanding tho veto of th? Clovomor, the bill amending the Nor? folk city primary law, tho Governor having Admitted ho wns mistaken, nnd It being clear that tho mensuro could not bo roturnod to tho Governor under tho Constitution. Tho Houso passed the bill creating a bureau ot Insurance,, nnd the mensuro now goes to tho Senate, where Its ,i.?e is /doubtful, Tho Houso recommitted the bill relating to corpora? tions wllh the amendment thereto of fer? oci by Mr. Folkos? requiring railway com? panies to defino their principal offices, nnd for the time being ended the fight over the proposition involved In the amendment. The Senato passed half n. dozen Mils, but none ot general or widespread pub? lic; Interest. A . communication was re? ceived from the. Bonrd ot Education In? forming the body of the election of a county school superintendent. Tho bills passed Included three of the revision bills, which were the special or? der. Six Houso bills, relating to Code revision nnd two local Houso bills, were passed, one. authorizing tho supervisors of Clarke to maintain a toll bridge, and another relating to Warren county.

Whitehead asked that tho Norfolk pri? mary hill bo taken up, and It was laid before the Houso, and the objections of tho Governor thereto read by tho clerk. Mr. AVhltehoad was making a speech for the bill, and was reading tho re? marks of anno tor Salo on tho subject, ?when Messrs. West, Ncwhouse, Lee, of Fairfax, und others encaged him In a running debato, In which the latter gen-' tlemen wero disposed to defend the. ac? tion of tho Governor. They desired to return the hill to the. Governor in order to allow His Excellency to sign It. .Messrs, Wliitchead, Davis and Duke con? tended that In view of Ilio Constitution, tho bill could not be properly returned, and upon roll call, It was passed, ii<J*??> withstanding the voto of the Governor ayes, F.7; noes, 6. Most of those who had sought to havo the bill roturnod, voted with the mem? bers from Norfolk upon Mr. Davis? state? ment that this could not be constitu? tionally done. The ?lobato was conducted with good feelhfg, and no ono seemed dis? posed to deprivo the Norfolk members of what they desired. A large number of hills, appearing on the calendar, on their second rending, were taken up and passed to their en grossolani. When Ilio bill 'concerning corporations ?uno up, Mr. Folkes offered his amend? ment, requiring railway companies to define their principal offices, and ho spoho nt nomo length in Its favor.

Tho momhor from Norfolk spoko Witti his old-time vigor, and lie referred lo Mr. Folkes ns an "ni'lful dodger" and the "smoothest proposition" on the floor of tho House. Ho said Mr, Folkes was trying to fill the boarding houses of Richmond, nnd that ho was hounding tho railways in order to do It. A motion to recommit tho bill with Ilio nmondmenr. was adopted?ayes, 3d; noes, .12?and tho discussion was endod for tho present, or rather transferred to the Roads Commltton, The House at 1:10 P.
