A Barbecue and Shoot on for Today-A La- dies Bicycle Club and Skating Rink
 Next on the Programme. %

The Birmingham Gun club will have an all-day shoot and barbecue at their grounds near East Lake today. Prepar- ations have been made for gala occa- sion, and it will no doubt prove to be such.
 Invitations were sent to the Annlston and Talladeg'a Gun clubs to come over and join in the shoot and barbecue, but as late as yesterday evening no answers has been received and the boys from those cities are not now expected. A bicycle club for ladies will probably be organized in the next few days. There are said to be quite a number of ladies in the city who are enthusiasts on the subject of the wheel, and they are right in for the club The club will probably be run in connection with a skating rink that is to be opened in one of the vacant halls at an early date.

Consulting His Army.

Little Rock, Ark. Oct. 15.-Brig. Gen. O. P. Taylor of the Arkansas State guard was in consultation this morning with Governor Clark and several other gen tlemen relative to the proposed prize fight in Hot Springs. The judgment of the conference was. in effect, that the fight would not be allowed to take place in Arkansas with or without gloves. If the laws of 1891 or 1893 are imperative the old law of 1888 gives the governor almost unlimited power, and the entire state guard may be called out to sup press any assemblage which has the semblance of riot There will be no tenn porizing, and the parties are warned in time of the penalty for bringing off the fight in defiance of the law. General Taylor departed for Hot Springs this evening to talk with the promoters of the affair and warn them. He will return to- morrow, and the following day the proc lamation will be issued forbidding the proposed meeting. This. General Tay- Tor is confident, will settle the matter finally

CUP COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Defender Is Regarded as Being Quite
 Fast Enough.

New York, Oct 15-The America's cup committee remained in session at the New York Yacht club house until after midnight last night. They drew up a let ter to MT. Charles Day Rose of the Royal Victoria Yacht club formally notifying him of their acceptance, giving him the names of the committee and stating that full power has been given them by the club to confer with him and make ar engagements and conditions for the meet ing. The committee confirms the cable grams sent by Secretary Oddie of the New York club to MT. Rose and Secretary Thellussen of the Royal Victoria club last night.
 The letter was mailed today. When reply is received from MT. Rose the con- mittee will hold another meeting and some of the details of the races and the probable dates will be settled.
 The reappointment of the committee which had charge of the Defender-Val- kyrie race is considered strong endorse ment of their course throughout the re- cent races. Had other men been named on the committee appointed last night it would have given the British critics an opportunity to say that the club failed to endorse the old committee and that Lord Dunraven was right in withdrawing from the race. There is as yet little talk of building a new boat to meet MT. Roses distant shore. YachtSmen here say the Defender is better boat than the En- glishmen can build in three years and the cup is safe if left to her. The report of the three boats to be built on the other side and the best one to be sent here does not disconcert the yachtsmen at all. In spite of this talk it would not be al all surprising if MT. w. K Vanderbilt. MT. George J. Gould or some other wealthy member of the New York Yacht club should come forward and build boat on his own account.
