glish, of tho faculty. Practically all tho
studenti! uf the middle and senior classes

an unusually large Junior cla.ss has been
enrolled. . Tlio total enrollment will be
about sixty, which is an advance over
tho preceding: five years.
This will bo the first session ?G the
Seminary under the new system miopted
by iho board of trust oca at their last
annual meeting' In May last. At that
timo the Rev. Walter W. Moore, D. 15.,
I_L. D., was elected president of the
institutilon. This election came as c
just recognition of Dr. "Moore's long and
efficient service for the Seminary anil
Cor the Southern Presbyterian church. He
lias been connectod with this Institution
since IS??!, during the largor part of
which timo ho luis hold the MeCormick
professorship of Hebrew language and
literature and Old Testament exergesls.
His faithful work in heha.lf of the Sem?
inary bus been a most important factor
in placing It in the position'?.which it
now occupies at tho head of all the
theological institutions ot. the southern
Church, and the friends of this important
part? ?f the church work. are. eminently
gratified that Dr. Mooro has thus been
placed in immediate, control.
AN ASSISTANT. ;
The increasing duties a.nd responsibili?
ties devolving upon Dr. Moore because of
his call to the presidency of the Semin?
ary ha? made? necessary tho appointment
of an assistant in his department, and
tho board has appointed to that position
Rev, J. Gray McAllister, who was Dr.
Moore's substitute two years ago? while
the latter was traveling atoroad. Mr.
McAllister has since that time been pas?
tor of tho Presbyterian church at Farm
vlllo. Va., but has resigned his work
there, and will enter upon his new duties
nt the opening of tlie Seminari' this
veo):.
The many friends ot Dr. G. B. Strickler,
not only in Richmond but throughout the
South, regtet exceedingly that the state
of bis health will prevent his assump?
tion of his regular duties in the depart
ment of Systematic Theology. Dr.
Btrlckler Is now conflnew to the homo ot
bis son-in-law, Dr, Geo. ti. Denny, presi- ?
dent of Washington and I>ee University,
at Lexington, Va., and it may be several
weeks before he will again take up the
labors of the department which he has
conducted so satisfactorily for a number
of years.
A NEW FEtATURE.

isters for the Southern Presbyterian
Church, than all tito other theological
seminaries combined.. Moro than three
fourths of tho ministers and foreign mis?
sionaries of the ?lfnod of Virginia, and
more than two-thirds of those of tho
Synod of North Carolina, aro graduates
of this Institution, and efforts are being
inado continually to Increase the effici?
ency of the preparation of tho ministry
of thle Church. To this end a new
feature has been added in the selection .

Instructor In tho art of expression.
Prof. Rollili was a oupll of the celebrated |
Dr. I Town, of Bellici College, Oxford,
England, and after further study In Dub?
lin and France, has been remarkably suc?
cessful ns an instructor In America, lie
is regarded as the very best in his line,
and will add greatly-'to the strength
of the present course of preparation in
the Seminary.
During the summer vacation tho Sem?
inary buildings and grounds have been
tilled out completely with electric lighting
appliances to take the place of the
former unsatisfactory ?system of gas
lighting, and this will odd immensely
to tho comfort and t-tt'racUvchess of
seminary life.
The:Seminary boarding.department has
been completely overhauled and renovated
under the direction of Miss Rebecca Smith
who has. been, placed 1n charge of this
work. Mass Smith formerly occupied a
similar position in Agnes' Scott Institute
for young ladles at Decatur. Go,, and
with hor good tasto a.nd thorough ex?

Virginia Day,! September' 2Sd.
There has been several changes of tho
date fixe- for,.Virginia Day at tho Fair,
but it has now been definitely decided
that Friday, September the 23d, the origi?
nal day sot for the exercises, will bo
the day, .upon which the Exposition will
be given over to the VlrglnlntiB. Doubt?
less crowds of citizens of, nib State will

clses on . Virginia Day.

other coach will carry tho friends of the

The special will leave here on Saturday

The Governor's party -will be quartered
at? Ipslde Inn or'some' hostelry, accessible
to the Exposition grounds. Colonel Bar

The Blues and the Stonewall Band will
go Into camp on their arrival at "Model;

position for tho visiting military organ?
izations. They will take their meals at a
nearby restaurant.
The Governor's party proper will In?

with the wives of the,staff members and
the Governor's guests.
MEMBERS OF STAFF.
As yet Chief of Staff, Colonel John S.
Harwood has not received deilnlt-j.replies,
from oil of the staff, but ih.ise who will
probably take tlio trip arc: Governor A.
.1. Montague,' Colonel 'John S. Harwoocl,
chief of staff; Col.ir.cl Robert. E. Lee.

ton H. Wayt,, aides: - :?
William Nolle and Inspector-General Jo
Lane Stern.
Owing to the absence of R. H. Har?
wood, who is now In ' California, It Is
probable that Colonel Harwood will be
unable to leave the city, unless his

which is not. altogether probable, In
event ho is unable to go. Governor Mon?
tague will appoint one of tue members
of the staff to act as chief of staff.

anticipated with greatest of pleasure by
