A GOOD VAUDEVILLE SHOW.
Banker & TOOIey's Comedians and
Musicians Make "A Hit at Tybee.


Banker and Tooley's high class vaude-
vile show made a big hit at the Hotel
I Tybee last night The twelve performers
constituting this aggregation Of artists Sc
cured from New York, arrived on the Biz
mingham yesterday. and were all ready TO
go on the stage on their arrival at Tybee.
The stage. however. was not quite com
pleted last night. and rather than disap-
point those who had gone down with the
expectation Of seeing the show. the vaude-
vile part Of the programme was given in
the rotunda Of the hotel, while the specta-
tors gathered around. and outside on the
piazza.
Every one Of the performers was ap-
plauded to the echo. and several Of them
were compelled 10 respond 10 encOres. Ed
Banker, in his new mystic creation, The
Two Extremes" was great. lie appeared
before the audience in the costume OF
tramp, and soon changed as If by magic
hrst 10 a drum major and then TO an old
woman.
The Morses are good singers and got
their fun share Of the applause. Paul Mac
Donald, I'm his black face monologue, was
one Of the best features Of the perform
ance. De Hollis and Nalores, the jugglers,
are experts IN their line ana furnished
some entertaining features. They We're
with the Black Crook last season.
Larry ToOley IN his German Comic was
applauded time and again and compelled
to respond to two encOres. Williams and
Woods. in their London chair turn, fur
nished much amusement, and Leona
Lewis, the little gem. added much TO the
brightness Of the entertainment with her
vocal music. Mazziotta, the musical mar
vel, was kept playing on his glass tum-
blers for sometime after the show had
been concluded.
The stage will be completed to-day and
the scenery used is some that was left in
the Savannah theater by the Devils Auc-
tion year or two ago. In addition to the
above programme. there will be an open
ing, and a closing piece to the programme.

The GuytOns Were IL and the Vigil
Iants Were 4 In the Fourth Inning.
In the fourth inning of yesterdays
game between the Vigilants and Guyton,
when the score stood u to in Guyton's
favor, a friendly-that is, to the Nigilants
shower of rain came up and brought the
game to a premature close.
The game, while is lasted, was anything
but interesting. and was witnessed by a
very small crowd.
The Fourth of July would not be com
plete unless a base ball game were among
the events. Base ball is the national game
and is properly played on Independence
day above all others.
The two strongest teams in the City
League-the c. L. AS and the Bay Streets
will play on that day. and as these
teams are a tie for first place in the
league race, the game will no doubt be an
interesting exhibition.
Both teams will have out their strong
est teams. Krenson and Coney for the
Bay Streets and Tison and Charlton for
the c. L. As will be the batteries.

for the Great Northern railway and the
Northern Steamship Company, with head

This makes the total Of all the registered
qualified voters for this election 2,675. The
registrars are of the opinion that there
are still many imperfections in this law
and they have had one or two difficulties
TO deal with. In many cases there is no
way of Identifying a person whose name
may appear on the voters books coming
from the tax collectors Office For in
stance, there may be two John Smiths on
the book, one of whom has
paid all of his taxes. and yet
against the other some unpaid exc
buttons may stand. The registrars may
not know either of the Smiths in ques-
ton, but there Is certain to be a row on
hand If they knock off the wrong man
on the superstition that he has not paid mis-
taxes. This, and many other little de-
fects the registrars have had to contend
with, which may be remedied at the next
election.
Both sides have been sending out cir
culars and tickets through the mails, and
some pretty hard work has been done.
The no fence peoples circular explained
what no fence means, and of what i'm
portance It is to the tax payer of the
county for that side OF the question to
carry the day. The other circular makes
an appeal for the farmers, and asks for
votes for fence, which is really directly
antagonistic to the farmers interests. 1t
urges the voters also to consider the
milk question. and says: Let the people
have milk, which the people will have un-
der any circumstances, and they can get
1t Just as we'll without paying extra taxes
to repair damages to drains and bitches,
done by roaming cattle.
AT the. conclusion of the election to-
day the managers at each of the polling
places will make up the count of the
number of votes polled on each side i'm
mediately after the polls close and will
carry the tally sheets and official lists
furnished them at once to the office of the
