MIR. MYERS NOW A REPORTER
He Introduced an Innovation iD Dress That Didn't Take We'll in Birming-
 ham.

MT. Demetrius F. Myers, who was erst- while such a prominent factor in Bir- mingham's social and professional life, is now reporter on a New York paper. While citizen of Birmingham MT. My CTS wrote one article for the press, sat irizing the fake charity ball." that marked him as a genius in humorous writing. MT. Myers will also be remem- bered as having introduced the innova- ton of baby blue brooches with evening dress. This custom disappeared with MT. Myers. The custom was so gauche that even the uncultivated social maw of Birmingham at that time could not swallow it. The custom was an offense against good taste and bordered on inn morality in it's violation of the canons of propriety It found no justification in nature The nearest approach found in nature to the appearance presented by man in the blue legs and black body is the stork. The legs of the stork assume a blue color from standing too long in water. The only similitude is found in the supposition that man wearing baby blue brooches is in the swim. Even the recognized social popularity cf MT. My CTS could not make baby blue brooches popular in Birmingham, but perhaps the field of his endeavor was too restricted and he will meet with better success in the larger field offered by the metropolis.

Eclipse was the odds-on-favol<te for the con cludng event and had the race won Ill the stretch As Simms pulled the fa- vorite up nearing the wire Maher on Phoebus came with rush, and to many it appeared that Phoebus won by neck. The Judges decision saved Mike Dwyer many thousands, which he had bet on Eclipse.

in Germany, the United States, Holland

new rules. The speech was received with
cheers.
A return banquet viii be given to-mor-
row on the Tantallon Castle when it is
likely that Mr.. Gladstone will make

his hat in his hand through the cheering
crowds.
