PERFORMANCE POSTPONED
Storm Last Night Broke Up Enter tainment to Be Given by
 Amateur Minstrels.

It was estimated that fully three
 thousand persons were at Oak Park last night to witness the minstrel per- formance to be given by local talent for the benefit of the Montgomery Mounted Rifles. The rain storm caused the performance to be postponed as it was to take place in the open air. Cap tain N. J. Wiley announced that the performance would be repeated tonight and that no admission would be charg- ed those who were present.
 With the exception of the complaints on the poor street car service the big crowd appeared to thoroughly enjoy the outing. The car service was entirely inadequate, and a car got off the track making matters worse. One of the open cars jumped the track near the residence of MT. Forbes Liddell. This blocked traffic for some time and pas sengers were compelled to transfer! One time about four cars came up from the city, loaded with passengers. Ar irving at the Jonah" car the passen- gers were told to transfer. The pas sengers from four crowded cars att tempted to secure seats on two cars which were beyond the Jonah" car. As a matter of course this was ipsuffi- cient and many had to walk or wait. The rain descended about this time and many persons were in a bad predica- ment. The crowd marched through the rain to the park and took shelter un- der the pavilion.
 Everything was in readiness for the performance wksn the wind storm de- scended upon the park The manage ment promises a good performance to- night.

 The people of Union Springs are like ly to have the benefit of rates over three railroads instead of one.

 Colonel Hareaway Is out today with a corps of surveyors locating a route to Milstead. The Union Springs and Northern expect to build to that point as soon as the road to Fort Davls is completed.
