Florence Wagon Works Putting in Big
 Improvements

Florence, May 3.-(Special)-W can be regarded as good evidence that the Florence Wagon Works owners have given up the idea of removing to some other city is seen in the fact that that company is at work upon some extensive improve ments on their plant at this time
 The factory is shut down for the week on account of the arrival of a large shipment of new machinery, which is being put in place, and which will largely increase the output and capacity of the plant. The old machinery will also be taken up and re- arranged, so that a piece of timber may be sent from one end of the operating room to the other, coming out finished piece, and without large amount of un- necessary handling as heretofore. The su- perintendent of the wagon factory calcu- lates saving of 5000 per year in this ar- rangement of the woodworking machin- cry. The capacity of the plant will be in- creased to fifty wagons per day, making an annual possible output of fifteen thousand wagons.

 The Brotherhood of St. Andrew held It's annual council yesterday in Grace church, with John E. Mitchell of Nashville presiu- ing. The services were very interesting.

 First Audience VIII Be Large
 The audience tomorrow night-the first night of the festival-will be immense, and persons who desire to pick their seats should go early. The first part of the opening nights programme consists of three orchestral numbers and the second part is made up of "The Creation" No one can afford to miss the "Sakuntala" overture.
 The Boston Festival Orchestra and so- loists were in Chattanooga yesterday, and will be in Nashville tonight. They are due in Birmingham to breakfast Friday. The first rehearsal will take place in the audi- torium at 10 a. m. For an hour and a half Benjamin Guckenberger, the festival di- rector, will give his undivided, time to the orchestra. He will rehearse "The Crea- tion" music, including the overture. At noon MT. Guckenberger will have a full rehearsal with chorus, soloists and orches- tra. All purely orchestral numbers-all separate orchestral works-will be con- ducted by Emil Molenhauer the Boston festival director, and all other numbers will be conducted by MT. Guckenberger.
 Training Orchestra
 Haydn wrote beautiful but simple or- chestral accompaniments, and that being true the director need not watch the in- strumentalists very closely tomorrow night; but when it comes to the second nights programme, made up largely of Wagner and Grieg, he will have all he can do; for in Wagner's music-dramas and in Grieg's "Olaf Trygvasson' the orchestra is nearly as prominent as the soloists and chorus. When Wagner first began to pro- duce his works the orchestra players found great difficulty in reading and executing their parts. And today Wagner music is not easy for them. But the Boston Fes- tival Orchestra is fully capable of execut- ing anything that is set before it, and Saturday nights programme will be ren- dered iu' "a thoroughly artistic manner.
