: It has been suggested that the lot
.on Halifax ttreet, jest in the rear of
the Agricultural building, would be
a most adu irable site for the erection
of a building to be used as a State

burlesque, and should be removed.
' If it is to be used at all, it should' be
for committee rooms, provided it is
fixed up for the purpose.

Childrens' May Day Festival.
All the pastors, Sunday school Su
perintendents, teachers and Sunday
school workers are requested to meet
at the 'Young Men's Christian Associ
ation rooms at 6 o'clock Bharp tomor
row (Tuesday) afternoon. The meet

day schools from all the surrounding
country, within a radius of a hundred
miles of this-city will be invited to
participate in the joyous occasion,
and it will be the grandest gathering
ever seen in Raleigh. Do not fail to
attend the meeting tomorrow.
A Good. Outlook.
We were informed today by our
fiiind, Mr. John D Briggs, the well
known builder and contractor, that
the outlook in his line of business is
fii-strate. Mr. Briggs says he has all
tho work on hand and in prospective
tlt he can well do. 'e suggests,
however, one drawback that is some
what a surprise to us. and that is the
scarcity of brick. It would really
seem that there tbould be no excuse
for this, as there as as good opportu
nities in this direction in this this
vicinity, as can be f und in most sec
tious. This calls to uiiud the fact
th it our attention was recently di
rrcted by our friend, Mr O H Bel
vin, to the brick usel in building the
Raleigh National Bank building.
These bricks were made near the city,
and, as far as our judgment goes,
backed by that of gentlemen well
versed in the business, they are equal
in every respect to what are known
as the Baltimore pressed brick That
there is remuneration in this line of
business cannot well be doubted, and
we hope some of our citizens suited
to the business and possessed of means
to push it, will soon embark in the
enterprise.
A Beautiful Model.
We were shown this morning,' by
our friend, Mr. Hal W. Ayer, Secre
tary of the Agricultural Society, a
most beautiful and complete model
of the United States cruiser "Ral
eigh." Mr. Ayer succeeded, after
most earnest and energetic efforts, in
securing it from Secretary Tracy. It
is the original model of the vessel and
the only one in possession of the Navy
department. It is, including the ele
gant .-glass case, in which it is en
closed, 171 feet long, and occupies a
position in the office of Mr. Ayer on
the corner of Martin and Salisbury
streets, where the public are respect
fully invitee1 to call and see it. We
are informed by Mr. Ayer, that he
succeeded in obtaining from Secre
tary Tracy permission to retain the
model until after the State fair, where
it will be on exhibition. Iu this con
nectWi, we c?.n &ay, that Jf visitors
calling to see the model, are so dis
posed, contributions will be received
in furtherance of the project to pre.
sent a suitable present to the vessel.
We advise all our people who desire
to see something really pretty, to call
at Mr. ayer's office. It is a treat in
the artistic line Too much credit
cannot be awarded Mr. Ayer for his
success in securing it for the inspec
tion of our people.
