Z UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS OF THE FAMED INSTI-
 TUrIoN-THH COMING GRIDIRoN TEAM.
 UNIVERSITY, Oct. 10.-[Special Corre- spondence. 1.-The University of Alabama entered upon her sixty-third session on October 3 with the very brightest pros- poets. On account of the money strin. gency and the low price of cotton it was feared that the opening would not be as good as usual, but such presentiments ready exceeds that of last year, aud from the spirit in which the boys, both old and new, are entering upon their duties this session promises to be one of the most profitable in her history. There are up to date about 175 naatricnlates,
 The football prospects, this year are very good. The applicants for the team are considerably heavier than last yesr's men. The following arc the old men who have rstprned: Csptsin slope, Pratt, Simpson, and NeSmith. Prominent among the other applicants are Cahalan, Davis, Laird and Dow, and Trice, who entered only a few days since, is very promising can- didate for the team.
 The team has done but little practice with the ball, yet they are in good condi- tion from their sprinting and gymnasium work, as was shown by yestsrday's prac- tice. No positions have yet been assigned on the team and every promising man will be given trial.
 Manager Dewberry has arranged quite a number of dates conditionaily. It IS csr- tain that the varsity will play several games in Birmingham.
 Arrangements have abopt been sealed to play Vanderbilt there on November 5, Be- vance November IT and University of North Carolina Novsmber 19. These all promise to be exceedingly interesting games. Our boys have meyer met either Vanderbilt or the University of North Carolina in foot bali, but they have some old scores to pay Sewanee. The other games that we will likely play this year are University of Missfssippi, Tulane and Auburn.

ALABAMA IRON,

A dispatch from Philadelphia says s'the advance in freight rates for water delivery to Eastern seaboard cities has caused quite lively movement of Alabama iron.'' This advance in rates for water delivery will affect the furnaces near the seaboard more than the Alabama furnaces. In fact, it will work to the advantage of Alabama iron, which seeks the market by rail almost altogether. The Eastern furnaces will be handicapped by the advance in water rates, and thus give Alabama that much advantage. It is to the railroads that Alabama iron looks for protection, and has not looked in vain. By advantageous rail freights Alabama iron has been placed in Northwestern markets and shut out both Western and Eastern competitors. The have declared that the Alabama furnaces must make iron at s5 ton, or 1t will be shut out of the market. This challenge the Alabama furnaces have accepted, and with the aid of the railroads will continue in the fight.
 The dispatch further says: "Virginia furnaces do not seem able to obtain as much money in the general market for their iron as their neighbors in Alabama. ]" This goes to show that the Alabama iron is a necessity. It has become necessary for mixing purposes. It first gained the ad- vantage over the soft iron of Southern Ohio, and now it has won the preference over other Southern irons. It seems that the Alabama iron shas won a permanent place in the Northern markets.

Mss NIMMo GREENE of East Lake, over the nom de plume of "Dixie,' writes in the Philadelphia Times very entertainlngly of Frank L. Stanton, Georgia's poet. She found the poet in the sky-loft of the Con- stitution building, with a broad expanse of roofs and chimnsys beneath him. He said he kept his eye on a blue patch of sky for inspiration. .'sHis eye, in fine phrensy rolling, glances first at Heaven, then at earth." Mir. Stanton was plowboy, and draws on his memory for those charming sentiments found in his bucolic odes. 1t is doubtful if a plowman ever wrote poetry especially if he plowed in 2 new ground. Burns is said to have composed one of his poems while blowing, but it is mere trs. dition.

1.-THE DAZzLER'' A SUCCESS.

If enthusiastic applause and countless encores are evidences of successful per- formance, "The Dazzler'' was a success at the Academy of Music last evening.
 Rewritten in text and sprinkled with new witticisms, songs and dances, ssThe Daz- zler, '' in Its new form, is capable of amus- ing the most dejeoted person.
 It has the same amount of plot that all farce comedies have-just enough to hold the audience's attention and admit of the specialties. 1t is not a one-character play. Every member of the cast has say, more or less. Joe Ott is missing, but his place is filled by comedian equally as clever, if not better. Charles Wayne, who succeeds him, is grotesque fun-maker, with kny is we'll stocked with mirth. His "make- up'' is identical with Joe Ott, who he re- sembles very much.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

"The County Fair,'' which was pre- sented at O Brien s last night to fair audi ence, was warmly received The play is funny and the charactsrsSeH drawn, and one thing that makes every. scene so appre- ciative is the fact that every characteristic is American. The quaint old sayings, ex- pressions and happenings, which take place all along, makes an uproar of laughter from the time the curtain goes up on the first act until it falls on the last.
 The race at the county fair in the last act between three thoroughbred horses is ex- citing and sensational, and is the best feature.
 Miss Marie Bates as Abigail Prue, a whimsical old maid, was splendid, while Kittie Beck as Togs was another good char acter. 4a
 The other characters are fair, while the quartette is immense.

This popular and remarkably successful spectacular production will appear at O' Brien's Saturday at matinee and night. The ssSpider and Fly'' can certainly be classed as distinct novelty, containing as it does all the latest and best things h spectacle, pantomlme, comedy, opera and high class vaudeville.
 Since last season the play has been en- tirely rewritten, and scarcely anything remains of the first text but the name and the framework of the story. In it's new shape, however, it contains more interest, humor and probabilities for the display of specialties, pallets, sumptuous costumes and superb scenery, all of which have been supplied in superabundance. While partakfng of many parts Of the drama the ''Spider and Fly'' iB great in all. Nothing on cheap scale has been accepted from an artist to a shoe buckle. Considered as spectacle, nothing more resplendent has been seen on any stage for many years. No expense has been spared In the costum- ing, and not shabby or cheap looking trapping Is to be seen. All the materials are said to be of the finest, while the va- rious colors are rich and so artistically distributed that in the successive group jngs the eyes of the critical can detect no jarring shade. The gorgeous scenery, too, is enhanced by series of transformations and kaleidoscopic light effects. Baliets, marches, evolutions, piquant pantomime. unctuous comedy, novel specialties and all that tend to produce bewiidering effect of beauty and charm have this season been i9- corporated into the "spider and Fly. However, not content with so much, wi hich is more than many have to offer, MT. Lea witt seems anxious to excel even himself. In order to do this he now inclpdes as an extra feature carefully prepared series of Living Pictures, reproduced at great ex- pense, after the famous Kilanyi groupings, which have been creating such furore in London, Paris and New York. These pic.e lures alone are said to be Aan entertainment

1.-THE DAZZLER. !"

0AZA1Ins
 During the four years that Cosgrove & Grant have been touring the country in that brilliant farce comedy, ''The Daz- zler,'' New York, Philadelphia, Balti-i more, Washington, New Orleans, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and San Fran cisco have, set the seal of their approval upon the piece and pronounce tito be the brightest farce comedy of the last decade. New York tbeater-goers saw the piece at the Park theater, again at the Standard, then at the Fourteenth Street theater and even again at Nibio's, and in every case crowded houses and delighted audiences testified to it's success. This year the play has been entirely rewritten aud ts unques. tionably great improvement over the old version. The company is the strongest that has ever been seen in the piece. The dresses of the ladies are all pew and made from special designs by Irwin Moorehead of New York. The music is the latest and best that could be selected, both here and in Europe, and several novel features are introduced for the first time. It will be seen at O Brien's on Tuesday night next for one performance only.
