Hoyt's Comedy Company.

The Guthrie State Capital gives the fol- lowing strong endorsement to the Hoyt Comedy Company. which opens a weeks engagement at the Auditorium Monday night at popular prices:
 "Hoyt's Comedy Company presented Be cause She Loved Him So at Brooks Thea ter last night. This company has fulfilled exery pledge made the public so far and the consequences are packed business Because She Loved Him So,' a charming little comedy In three acts, with just a touch of pathos, and just enough of com edy of the high class togrelieve the som- neness, as rendered by the Hoyt Company vas par excellent. If we would speak of any particular member 1t would be our duty to mention each individual in his or Ter role. This is by far the best repertoire company ever seen at Brooks Theat ter. This work has undoubtedly been revela- ton to theater goers, the plays are proper + costumed, properly staged and the parts are played with a dash and ginger which ltnds zest to the performance"

lnnes and His Band.

Observation has established universal idea that an eccentric and solemn manner are concommitants of musical genius A look at Innes, the famous band master shatters that view On the stage with baton in hand, his face has the expression of man who thinks of nothing this side of the clouds. In the hotel lobby or around the banquet board he looks and acts and talks as if he never gave a thought to music.
 Yet Innes has made such remarkable in- novation in concert band music that hyper critical writers who scorn any kind of band music as being without the pale of serious contemplation, have been forced to resog- nize and admire him. Innes and his band are coming here on next Tuesday night at the Jefferson Theater.
 They have just finished remarkably suc- cessful summer at Atlantic City, where 1nnes owns an immense auditorium named after himself. Scenes from grand operas by six splendid operatic singers, prominent among whom is Xanten, the great German tenor from Berlin, will be one of the feat ures of the engagement.
 The sale of seats will commence this morning.

THE HORSE SHOW
 A GREAT SUCCESS
Many Beautiful Animals and TufnoutS Entered-The
 Prizes AWdrded'

The horse show at the State Fair yes- terday was a great success in every way. There were a large number of fine horses entered in the show, and they made a fine showing for Birmingham and Jefferson County, the exhibits in that line being con fined to the county. It has been noted with the greatest pleasure that in the last year or two the number of horses and vehicles owned by Birmingham people for private use has increased tenfold Four or five years ago it a rare thing to see a pri- vate turnout on the streets of the city
 whereas now dozens of them can be seen every day. The beauty of it all is that the owners have had an eye to attractveness when purchasing, until now the private carriages victorias and other vehicles as we'll as the horses, compare favorably with those in any city of the country.
 About fifty of these horses and vehicles were entered in the horse show yesterday and the expectation of seeing them draw large crowd 10 the Fair Grounds before

SOLEMN FUNERAL
 IF THE SNOWMAN
Fred Curtin Died Amongst Strang- CTS, But There Was Weeping
 When the Priest Spoke

Fred Gurth the Midway snowman who died in a hospital in this city Wednesday night, was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery yesterday.
 The funeral services took place in the l chapel of Erstwell's undertaking house in l Third avenue at o'clock d. m, the Rev. Father Downs, assistant rector at St. l Pauls Church, officiating.
 l The deceased was a foreigner and had no relatives in this country, but his fel- low showmen and employees who attended the funeral were much attached to him, and many tear rolled down the cheek of those not used to weeping. Everyone in the little band of mourners spoke with homely tenderness of the kindly traits of Fred Gurth.
 Catholic funerals take place, as a rule from the church, but the friends of the dead man who arranged for the burial be- ing strangers here and not being familiar perhaps with Catholic usage, did not ask for the use of St. PaUls, and owing to the limited time left to the priest after he re- ceived the motive many details of cere- mony had to be omitted There were no candies, and there was neither incense nor holy water, but Father Downs read the impressive service composed of antiphons, versicles and prayers, in a singularly sym | pathetic tone of voice. He did not, accord l ing to custom, read in Latin-only in Eng l fish.
 Father Downs delivered a short but feel ing address on death He said that many men refused to believe in revealed religion or even in the existence of God, but that no matter what their views about religion might be, no matter how great doubters men might be, they knew that death must come to all. No one doubted death he said, and he eXhorted his hearers to think of their end and make preparation for it.
 The priest accompanied the remains to the cemetery and consigned the body to the tomb, repeating in solemn measure the ancient formula of the church. And as the clods dropped on the coffin the mourners wept. It was an unaffected tribute to their friend, and the scene was one of peculiar | pathos.
 Father Downs said afterwards that he had not often seen strong men weep SO freely or show more tender feeling than these Midway showmen

AMUSEMENT IS.

Blood and thunder horse play and some real good speciality work made up what was billed as a sensational five-act melodrama under the title of Hoys "A Trip to Tramp town" at the Auditorium last night, and served to amuse a large audience, although the amusing features were found only in spots.
 The plot of the play Is billed along western lines with a few trailers reaching towards other sections of the country but the heavy work proved rather weighty and the au- dience found amusement in the less try ing parts.
 Dainty Dolly Theabold, as Little Midget the wild flower, is whole show in her self and the audience would have been fully repaid had she alone appeared on the stage She is pretty, petite and exceed ingly clever. Her specialties were up to the standard and others were very credit able The company will appear again this afternoon and night.

FOOTBALL GAME
 WILL BE GREAT Between Auburn and TenneS- scans This Afternoon STRONG INTEREST AROUSED Game Will Be Called at 8 O'clock at North Birmingham Athletic Park Some Large Bets Made on
 the Doubtful Result
STRONG INTEREST AROUSED

The football teams from Auburn and the University of Tennessee arrived in the city last night and the long-haired ath- letes, together with a large crowd of en- thusiastic followers, are anxiously await ing the outcome of the game at North Bir- mingham Athletic Park this afternoon.
 The hotel lobbies were crowded with students until a late hour last night and the relative strength of the two teams, as well as the individual advantages of the men was discussed at length It seems to be the general opinion that the Alabama team Is somewhat the stronger, though there were several large bets at even money laid on Tennessee, but the Auburn packers say they could not find him.
 The Auburn men in charge of Coach w. H. Watkins, arrived in the city at 7:3O yesterday evening" and immediately went to their quarters at the Florence Hotel. Watkins, who is an old Princeton player, kept close watch on his men to see that they were in no way physically disabled from the playing in today's game. The coach stated last night that the Auburn men were in fine form, and that they ex- pected to win from Tennessee and have few yards of ground to spare. However, he does not anticipate walkover. When asked about the report to the effect that the Auburn team had been hurt by the change from the Pennsylvania system of coaching to the Princeton system bo. Wat kines said:
 ''Of course the general system of train- ing has undergone a change, and there are many new plays which Auburn has never before attempted This change has not hurt the men, however, and you can de- pend on it that the Tigers will put up snappy game"
 The Alabamians retired early in order to be in fresh condition for this afternoons contest.
 On account of a delayed train the Ten nesseeans did not arrive in Birmingham until late hour last night, and the many enthusiasts who waited at the station to greet them were disappointed Immediate ly upon their arrival the team went to been prepared for them and retired for the night The mountaineers are apparent ly in fine form and will give the Alabam- iais hard tussle for this afternoons vic- tory. ..'. ..-t. #.s..
 The game will be called promptly at o'clock in the Athletic Park in North Bir- mingham. Though the contest was hur- riedly arranged and there was little time for giving notice of the game large crowd is expected. Nearly 300 tickets have all ready been sold.
