RACESON THE ALABAMA
r. Y. c. A. REGATTA WAS I
 GRAND SUCCESS.
Rhoodes- Buhler Nuptials at Selma Central City Not Lucky in Fourth of July Ball
 Games.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, June 5. The boat races yesterday afternoon | were a grand success. The start was made from the mouth of Beech Creek just as the crowd was coming across l the bridge from the ball game. The first race was that for the '. M. c. A. championship. When the boats showed up, coming around the bend, they were ali punched. The following are the names of the crews:
 McCord and Eskridge; coxswain. Eskridge.
 J. Portis and F. Nunnelee; coxswain. McKinnon.
 Ed Pettus and Carl stearpe; cox swain. Elliot Barnwell.
 The finish of this race was very ex- citing. Nunneiee and Portis were in the lead by about two boat lengths for over half the mile. and when they dashed under the bridge they still held that distance. Stearne and Pettus came in slowly. having shipped their oar locks and lost time. But for this unfortunate occurrence, they would have showed up In good style. This was one of the closest races that has been run on the Alabama River in a long while. The time in this race was about six minutes and thirty seconds. Next came the ciinxer race. One crew
 was composed of Brown and culver
 house; coxswain, Brown; colors, pink. In the other boat were Armstrong and
 Bailey; coxswain, Keeble ;colors. green.
 This race was a sprint from beginning
 to finish. When the curve was turned,
 Brown and Culverhouse lead by three
 boat lengths. The water fairly boiled
 about the prows of the boats. The
 oars rose and fell like clock work and
 the immense crowd was so quiet that
 the click of oar locks was distinctly
 audible. Then came the last grand
 spurt-the finish of the battle. Arm
 strong and Bailey rowed so hard that
 the prov of their boat rose as every
 stroke and cut the water like knife:
 But Brown and Culverhouse were equal
 to the emergency. They spurted and
 went under the bridge three boat
 lengths ahead. amid the cheering Of the
 crowd. Neither of these victories was
 easily won, and every spectator de-
 clared that the races were the best ever
 seen on the river. The time of the
 last race was about Ave minutes thirty
 seconds.

Pathological School Proposed.

There has been some discussion of the proposition to request Andrew Car
 negte to make . donation for the es-
 tablishment of e free public library
 here upon the same basis that he has given these institutions to other cities throughout the couatry. but it is now suggested that he be requested to es- tablish technological and industrial school in Birmingham instead of a library. The proposition is to have the proposed institution made part of the public school system of the city under the auspices of the Board of Education and open to all students seeking prac- teal knowledge. The matter has not yet assumed definite shape but 1t ls not unulikely that 1t will be taken up by the commercial bodies and pushed.

Body of Boy Found.

A few days ago negro fisherman telephoned to police headquarters that the clothes of some one had been 1ouno m the hank of the river just below the mouth of Valley Creek. The clothing was that of a boy about 12 or IA years of age. Some seemed to think that It was a practical joke played by some mischievous boy. who deposited an oio suit of clothing on the bank of the river. Inquiry was made by the police, but nobody could be found missing. Yesterday. however. the sequel came to the city in the information that me body of a white boy, about the aoove age. had been found on sand bar on Blackwell place, eight or ten miles down the river. The body was found by MT. Dunwood Hatcher and looked as if it had been in the water about three days. The matter IS a great mystery and may never be solved. The police are working on the matter to see if it can be cleared up.

Lost Four Games.

Selma baseball performers played in hard luck on July {. The League team lost two games to Nashville. The Y: M. C, A. team played a rattling good game with Uniontown and lost by only one score A large crowd was present and enjoyed the game. The -Uniontown players were all matured men, and the Y NJ. C. A. team looked like babies beside them. Uniontown was the ta- vorite with the boys who were dis posed to lay small wagers, but when goose-egg after goose e-egg was marked on the board fer the first five or six innings. the excitement became high, and the crowd yelled Iustily to encour- age the boys who were holding their own so well against the mature Union- town team. But the homefolk did not fail to cheer the UnIontown players when they made brilliant play. Wis., iting teams are always treated with the utmost consideration by the crowds. The fourth defeat that Selma received on the glorious Fourth was at the hands of the Montgomery L. and N. team. But nothing like four defeats In one day can dampen the ardor of Selma baseball enthusiasts.

 Thought the Cars Wonderful.
 Yesterday was the 4th. and. as Is al- ways the case, was a good day TOT negro excursions. It was no exception to the rule. and ehe B. S.. x N: U. brought in a large crowd of the sons of Ham from West Dallas and Ma rengo. to see the town. It was an amusing sight at the depot to see them gage in open mouthed wonder at the electric cars. Some few of them got on the cars. but the great majority or them stood at respectful distance and made funny remarks about the motive power. One negro said he was afraid 1t would run into the river at the foot of Broad Street as lightning was so quick they might slip over tne huff before they could stop 1t.
