CLERGYMAN FACED OUT
AS RESULT OF LONG TRIP
Rev. L. R. Mason is Subjected to
Many Delays En Route Home

Prom Mobile.
i I
Instead of getting back home Sat- ‘
urday morning, according to the
schedule he had mapped out, Rev.
Landon R. Mason, rector of Grace
Episcopal church, did not reach Rich
mond until late Sunday night from
Mobile, where he attended the Con
federate reunion.
The first hitch in the clergyman's
plans occurred at Mobile, when he
boarded the wrong train, and was k
subjected to a delay of nearly twelve
hours as a result. Next, the South
ern railway train, which took him
out on the right track, soon came up°n
Oie debris of a wreck that held him (
j up for some hour*.
At Greensboro the Grace church
rector failed to muko connection, and
was again delayed—this time for ton
hours. Arriving at Danville, he miss- ;
ed another connection, and hud to
wait there nearly twelve hours.
On his arrival home Bunduy night
the veteran clergyman was pretty well
fagged out.

heavyweights brought e»vjt in the last
few years, and is one of a few great
men whom the Pole has not defeated
during the time he has been wrest
ling in this country.
The appearance of Zbyszko alone
will draw an enormous house, us the
Polish people are enthusiastic over
the prowess of the grappler from
their native land, and it Is probable
that there will be 1,600 Poles present
when the two big men take to the
mat. A great ovation will be given
Zbyszko when he arrives in this city,
and It will likely rival the demon
stration given the foreigner In Chi
cago several months ago when he was
greeted with a brass band and a big
street parade.
