HOTEL HILLMAN
 PROGRESSING FAST
Fine View from -Roof-The General Plan of New
 Building

One of the best views of Birmingham can be obtained from the roof of the new Hotel Hillman On all sides the city lies far below and the fresh green of the sur rounding hills makes a picturesque back ground to the business blocks of the city. :a
 The hotel Is rapidly progressing, and has now reached a point where good idea can be obtained as to how 1t will look when completed. Three hundred mechan- les are at work daily, and the contractors are trying for the bonus of s75 for every day gained on the contract limit In which the hotel was to be completed. Work was begun on the hotel February and the contract called for the completion of the building within two hundred working days. This would bring the last day to some time in October, but the contractors hope to have the work done by Septem- ber 1.
 On the ground floor the general plan of the hotel provides for a main entrance and rotunda forty feet wide and seventy four feet long. On the southern side of this rotunda will be two stores and on the northern side one store and the ladies' cafe. This cafe will be on the corner of Nineteenth street and Fourth avenue. The ladies' entrance to the hotel will be on Fourth avenue and there will be an ele- vator at this entrance for their use.
 The rotunda, the halls and the cafe. will all have tile floors and marble wainscoting. The walls and ceilings will be plastered with cement and ornamental mouldings.
 Back of the rotunda will be the billiard room, bar room and grill room- These will all be finished as the retunda. ss.
 On the second floor Is the main dining room and the parlors. The dining room will be just over the ladies' cafe. There will also be private dining room on this floor.
 An attractive feature of the hotel will be the palm room. This is on the second floor just over the rotunda and Is the and glass roof and the parlors will open into 1t. The parlors are on the south south side of the palm room and the din- ing room on the north side.
 There will be two main stairways in the hotel and three elevators. Every preca"- ton Is being taken against fires. There are four fire escapes to the hotel and water pipes and hose throughout. All the lathing in the hotel is of steel. The plas- tering throughout the hotel will require about seven hundred wagon loads of sand The stairways are all of iron and marble and slate.

After the first inning Birmingham was only able to get two more runs and make three scattering hits off Sechrist's delivery, and after the first inning he pitched as pretty a game as has ever been pitched on the Selma diamond. The game was a pretty contest for supremacy and the battle was fought hard by both clubs. Wilhelm for the visitors pitched a nice game and gave but ten hits, receiving almost faultless support.
 Selma was only able to score in the fourth inning. and then she had three men to cross. the plate. Fender started the ball rolling by hitting safely to cen ter Stouch hit safe to right and Fender went to third. Alexander hit to right and Fender scored. Dalrymple hit safely past third and Stouch scored. Glenn then hit safe to right and Alexander scored, while DaIrymple was put out between second and third.
 Birmingham made one score in the sixth, when Moss opened up and got first by being hit and scored on Leidy's two- bagger to right field. In the eighth they added another run. Mauch got pass to first on balls and went to second while Wilhelm went out at first Moss went out on a foul fly to first and Mauch scored on Leidy's hit to center.
 About nine hundred people were pres ent and they enjoyed the game, for 1t was as pretty a game as has ever been played in Selma.
 The only feature of the game was the catch of a long foul fly by Longley The following is the score:

EAST LAKE THEATRE. Large Audience Witnesses "Lynwood."

The Jefferson Stock Company presented 'Iynwood" to another large house last night The piece as presented was far above anything ever seen at that popular summer theatre. The entire company is well balanced, the cast being as follows: Victor Blanchard ........Percy R. Benton Edwin Carlyle .... ...... J. Alfred Osborn Dudley Middleton Elmer E. Potter Eupetus Elias Evestus Confucius
 Carter ............ ......-...fTltz AudHis Judge Carlyle .... ........Bruce Conquer Uncle Joe ....... ............ Frank Kendall Captain Ransome ....E...... Frank Staley Lucille Carlyle ........ .fauilne Geary Gay Carlyle .......- .......... Hazel wood Kate wilmarth .... .......Alyce Lovelace
 The specialties introduced between the acts by Efffe Francis, Hazel Wood and Percy R. Benton were very clever, being an entire change from the specialtics Monday night.
 The new scenery put in by the company adds greatly to the appearance of the theatre.
 "Lynwood" will be presented again to- night Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and Saturday matinee the comedy drama, "The Lost Diamond" will be pro- duced
 A number of new speciality people have been engaged by Manager Cooper for next week.

Brandt will probably go in the box for Birmingham today. and it is a good bet that he wins his game. He is one of the best pitchers in the Southern As- sociation and when he gets perfect con- trol of the ball. hits off of him will he few and far between.
 That must have been great shock to the Selmans yesterday afternoon when the Birmingham aggregation started up the fire works in the first inning. The dispatches from there fail to state If any of the rooters died from surprise.
 Meyers and McKevite of the New Or leans team both made home run hits In the game at New Orleans yesterday, and still Powell's men could not win.
 It is said the American League teams are going to loan players to each other in order to equalize the playing strength of the different teams.
