A double bill was present. ed-the New Orleans handicap and the Crescent City derby being it's features In the first race Lady Ellerslie equalled the track record for six furlongs, and in the New Orleans handicap Al Fresco, cleverly handled by Mutt, reduced the track record half a second.
 The derby was called at 4:15 p. m.

King Barleycorn at twos was supported mainly by his owners, while Elmer s. and Hittick, who were coupled in the straight and separate in the place betting were backed to 20 to 1, and the books laid 12 to 1 on Elmer s. place.

INTEREST CONTINUES
 IN FAIR MOVEMENT
Much Correspondence Going On Between Parties from Different Parts of the
 State and the Local Promoters.

The movement to establish an annual state fair in Birmingham is growing very rapidly, not only in this city, but through out the state, although all that Is being done Is of such a quiet, unostentatious na- ture that very little has been published about 1t.
 For a month or two past constant cor respondence has been going on between citizens of Birmingham interested in the movement and farmers, stock raisers and others throughout the state interested in the holding of a big fair.
 The replies received from these people are most encouraging. All of them say that they are very anxious to make ex- hibits of their products, and that they will do all in their power to make the fair success. They suggest that a meeting be held in Birmingham within the next few weeks, at which time all of them will come together and talk over the situation in all it's phases Commissioner of Agriculture I. F. Culver is very much interested in the plan and says that he will be present when the meeting Is held.
 In the meantime, however, the citizens of Birmingham are not idle. A meeting or a number of prominent business men was held yesterday afternoon and all of the temporary plans outlined. They said that there was no use talking about what had been done, for it is impossible to get the people interested in anything outside Of the city election just at present. After the primary Is over the project will be pushed vigorously.
 Already one gentleman has promised 10 take thousand dollars worth of the stock and four others are known who VIII take five hundred dollars worth each. The plan is. so far as has been agreed on, to rent for term of years the Smith park, on Eighth street, and on 1t erect all the neces- sary buildings.
 This park. it will be remembered, was leased for two years only week or two ago by the Birmingham Riding and Driving association, but there will not be the slight est friction between these two organiza- tions. Indeed the horse people are among those most interested in the fair move- ment.

The Little Minister

Charles Frohmans company in the Lit tie Minister will be zen at O 'Briens opera house Thursday evening. His fame has preceded him here, and the play and com- pany will undoubtedly be seen by an au- dience that will test the capacity of the theatre. As is we'll known this play is by J. M. Barrie, the famous au- thor and his dramatization of his well known novel of tht name. It is one of the few plays of today which can be enjoyed more than once It promises to become classic and remain in popularity long after the book which gave 1t birth came and passed from memory. Indeed, with the average person the Little Min ister'' is the play rather than the novel, and Barrie is the dramatist rather than the novelist. The humor of the play is de- licious, pure, simple and natural It is the very quality of naturalness which has had much to do with the Little Minister's'' success. The utter absence of artifciality wives the most blase. Another point in which the piece is particularly strong is it's portrayal of character The quartette in the Nance garden is a study in types; not one exaggeration and all to be met with. Some one has suggested, and quite pertinently, that the Little Minister" as a play, should be re-christened "Babbie;" certainly "Babbie's" fascinating personality perme- ates and dominates every scene. MT. Froh- man has given this comedy an unusually strong caste, and the production here will be complete in every respect. Ever since the play was produced our theatre-goers have been anxious to see it, and now that the opportunity will be offered them there is no doubt but the play will be received here with as much enthusiasm as 1t mas been elsewhere.

EIGHTEIETH ANNIVERSA KY
Of Ruhama Baptist Church Will B
 Celebrated Today.

It is seldom in this new country that the newspapers are called upon to record the eightieth anniversary of any church. To- day there will be celebrated at East Lake the eightieth birthday anniversary, so to speak, of Ruhama Baptist church, which was constituted March H, 1Sl9, or before Alabama was admitted to the union as a state.
 Special services will be held at the church at II o'clock this forenoon, and the public is invited to be present. The charter mem- bers of eighty years ago were: Rev. Hosea Holcombe, pastor; Mrs. Casey Hol- combe Francis Lawiey, Martha Rocket, Mrs. Phoebe Nations, William Puilen, Emanuel York, Elisha Lawley, Richard Rockett, deacon; Joseph Nations, Joseph Speers, John Yeates, George l.. Bayiiss, clerk
 During the four-ffths of a century the pastors of Ruhama church have been:
 Rev. Hosea Holcombe, Rev. William Case Rev. Thomas D. Armstrong, Rev. B. J. Byars, Rev. A. J. Waldrop, Rev. B. F. Hendon, Rev. s. Henderson, D. D., Rev J. E. Chambliss, D. D., Rev. w. c.

 Wreckage.

Huntsville, March 25.-(Special)-A resi- dent of Madison Cross roads, remote pre- cinct of Madison county, was in the city today and gave additional details Of the cyclone which swept over that neighbor- hood last week. The residents of the neigh borhood suffered severely. Jack Freeman 8 house and all other buildings on his farm except we'll shed were completely blown away. The home of William Phelps was blown down and the wreck was burned im- mediately after.
 In all parts of the country could be found articles of clothing and household effects that had been blown to unusual places. Ed Bailey at Dan was seen In the top Of a large tree recovering bed clothing that had been blown up there. Barns belonging to John and Hentz Lowe were destroyed and their contents scattered over wide sec tion. Fences were torn up and their frag- ments blown half mile away. great deal of damage was done to the fine timber lands of the northern part of the county.

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, March 25.-(Special.)-Dr J. A. B. Lovett, president of the Montezuma uni- versity which burned to the ground Thurs day, will make no effort to reopen the unl- versity this season. It would be impossi- ble to do so, owing to the lack of suit able quarters. What pr. Lovett's plans for the future may be, it is impossible for him to say at the present time.
 All of the boarding pupils, about twenty five in number. returned to their homes either yesterday or today.
 It will probably be arranged that Misses Mattie and Georgie Lipscomb of this city and Miss Aurelia Jones of Coal City, who were to graduate this spring, will have their exercises and receive their diplomas at the commencement exercises of the pub lie school, which would be an admirable arrangement. They lacked only a few weeks of completing their course.
 pr. J. A. B. Lovett has rented the resi- dence in Eighteenth street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, formerly occupied by W. s. Winters and family, and will take possession the first of the month.
 Mrs. Lovett, Miss Mary Lovett, Miss Bessie Lovett and Master James Lovett, who have been the guests of MT. and Mrs. A. A. Randle since the fire, leave in the morning for a short visit to relatives at Columbiana.
 pr. J. M. Lovett is quartered at the Van cleave hotel.
 The Rev. M. W. Robertson, who boarded at the university, was in Leeds at the time of the fire. Most of his effects were saved. MT. Robertson is at present in Green Pond.
 Miss Welty, instructor in Latin and Greek, is for the present the guest of MT. and Mrs. L. Y. Lipscomb. She expects to return shortly to Chicago.
 MT. and Mrs. Evans, who also boarded at the university, are quartered with MT. and Mrs. George w. Price.
 There is a rumor. which has been per- sistently circulated since the fire, to the effect that little negro boy was burned in the building. The rumor seems to have no foundation, except that the boy assisted in carrying out the furniture and has not since returned to the family by whom he was employed. He will no doubt turn up all right in the course of time, as 1t is hardly reasonable to suppose he perished in the flames.

~THE PLAYS

Tho Peters Comedy company closed its engagement at O'Brien's last night, and as a farewell performance treated the au. dience to some well enjoyed humor.
 There was very little plot to the play ana the audience was not bored by having to ravel out deep dyed mystery as is custom- ary with popular price shows, The special ties introduced between the lines of the play kept the crowd laughing from begln- ming to end. Phil was at himself and was finally forced to respond to a curtain call. This he did in his usual jolly way, making the audience the butt of most of his witty sayings.

Seeding.

Farmers have been blessed with good
weather this week and have improved
each shining hour to the utmost. By
Saturday night, if the weather holds
good, all fall blowing will be seeded.
some will pillow and sow wheat up to the
10th of May, trusting to warm fall for a
crop. Ninety days, with favorable
summer, will often mature wheat and
August 10th is about the earliest known
date of killing frosts and sometimes it is
a month or more later. Undoubtedly
the late season has had considerable
effect on the spring blowing. In many
localities it is even yet little soft on the
stubble to pillow. The result will be a
decreased acreage Of wheat, some in
crease in oats, barley and fax and con-
siderable land left to fallow. These
latter results, which mean a variation
and rotation of crops, and following are
not wholly misfortune. The benefits
to the land will be felt next year. Cattle
and horses and other live stock will be
raised and fed. and plenty Of barley aud
oats are mighty good thing to have on
a farm anyway even il prices are low.
