in case Lieutenant Thomas Murphy.
recently mustered out of the Forty
seventh Infantry evinces any desire to
have the post that it is his. Lieutenant
Colonel Stilwell in n recent conversa-
tion with Tribune man expressed his
opinion that such a recognition would
be only fitting of the service Lieuten-
ant Murphy has done in the Philip
pines and the magnificent way in
which he has fulfilled the military
promise shown by him during earlier
days in the Thirteenth regiment, and
moreover he would be an almost ideal
man for the position. In case Lieu-
tenant Murphy docs not re-enlist the
chances of Sergeant Major X. J.
Bourke are excellent ones and the
popular and efficient non-commissioncd
officer will have more than a fighting
show for the berth.
Interest has Jagged thus far in the
pistol matches for the Stillwell trophy,
and efforts to get together competing
teams on Saturday afternoons have
been decided failures. in spite of the
efforts made by Lieutenant +. w. Still
well and Major Frank RoblinG, jr.
Last Saturday the attendance at the
range was very poor and the same
can be said of the preceding Satur-
days. An effort may be made this
afternoon to shoot one of the matches
but there is not likely to be any very
decided interest shown in the matter
until after the brigade encampment
is over. 1t is likely that one of the
matches will be shot at Mt. Gretna.
Much talk has been aroused in the
regiment by the proposal made the
armory committee by a. f. Dixey, who
is desirous of leasing the armory drill
room during the winter and trans
forming it into the scene of nightly
vaudeville performances. The great
obstacle to such disposition would
be the consequent doing away with the

STREET FAIR GATES
 THROWN OPEN TO PUBLIC

Covered in dust and bathed in beauti- fu1 sunshine royal herd of Eiks marched through the streets of Birmingham to the tune of "Dixie,'' yesterday, and at 1:3O o'clock entered the grand entrance to the Street Fair and the show began.
 Just as the purple and white clad mem bers of the antlered tribe reached the en- trance arch in Second avenue under the leadership of Director-G General Meglemry, the column was met by Mayor Drennen who held the key to the city of Birming- ham. In a speech of heartfelt welcome he turned the key over to the Elks and the city is theirs. MT. Drennen said:
 Tt is great pleasure as well as a great honor to extend Birmingham s greeting to the Benevolent and Protect i've order of Elks; a pleasure because I grasp the hands O. so many good Elks, and an honor because l recognize the facts of so many good brothers who have labored earnestly to advance the interest and promote the order which you gentle men so ably represent here today.
 T congratulate you upon this. your sec- ond Street Fair, and I hope the financial results will far surpass any of your for mer achievements or of your brightest expectations.
 From the North and South, from East and West the order Of Elks has grown, until today 1t has surpassed the extrava- gant ideas of the Republican party on expansion.
 Today there Is not civilized nation on the top side of this green globe where the order of Elks is not favorably known.
 In times of peace and prosperity you make us happy through your many de- lightful entertainments. In times of trouble and distress you have so ingraci- ated yourselves into al of our hearts through your many noble deeds of char ity that we welcome you with glad hearts and outstretched arms.
 During this week of festivities I have instructed the chief of police to close and barracade to you only the doors to our prisons.
 As the chief executive of this city, which I have the honor to represent, surrender willingly and internationally the keys of this city to you, and again extend to you most hearty and cordial welcome"
 The key was then handed over, and the band played Auld Lang Syne. the crowd joining in the chorus. As the great chorus
