CROWDS ENJOYED
 FIRST SPRING SHOW
Lively Scene of Shouting "SpeeIers" and Popcorn
 Venders-G Good Show

Great crowds came to town yesterday ance by the Sells & Gray show aggrega- ton. 4.
 At both afternoon and night perform ances the large tents were packed to the limit and as Birmingham was show hun gry the audience expressed great delight at the performance. The usual apple pie peanut and ham sandwich vendors were in evidence and their cries. together with the shouts of the side-show spieiers help ed to enliven the situation and turn the crowd toward the main entrance of the 'big show" 3e S
 The performance as a whole was clean and up-to date and there was a total lack of rowdyism which is customary around tented exhibitions. ,,,
 There were funny clowns who cracked jokes at the expense of others between acts and the spectators who munched popcorn and drank lemonade laughed at every comical turn
 Probably the hit of the show was the acrobatic act of the Eddy family The several artists were attired in full even ing dress and did some seemingly impos- sible fsats The Earl Sisters aerial equi- florists also drew applause from the aud fence. These two women are very much alike in face and form and presented an excellent turn on the trapeze. ,
 Another feature of the performance which attracted considerable attention was the bareback riding of Miss Edna. It is said that she is the only circus rider. in the country who can turn back somer- sault upon running horse. Her act was loudly applauded. X
 The trained animal performances were exceedingly interesting sa
 The concert was good and far superior to the ordinary aftermaths of ring show.
 As whole and individually the Sells and Gray show pleased the people The crowds were handled. with ease and there was not hitch to mar the programme |

POLICE AT JEFFERSON.
Members of Force Will Give Unique
 Performance Friday Night.


 From the advance sales of tickets to police department next Friday night at the Jefferson Theatre 1t is judged that a very large and exclusive audience will assemble to enjoy the unique and novel entertainment to be given.
 For the first time in the history of thc- atres real members of police force will raid gambling house on the stage Be- sides the raid on a richly-furnished gam bling house. there will be raid on a game of negro crap shooters. The police department has in the office of the chief oeveral outfits of the very finest gam bling paraphernalia, and the scene will be most realistic.
 The officers will be assisted by Miss EugenIa Livingston Tucker, a charming monologist. who will give number of se- lections representing the south before the war; In criticising one of her recent per- formances a newspaper writer says:
 Miss Tucker Is the genuine southern girl She comes from the land of flowers and her soul slows with the fire of genius. Her rare talents have been culti vated to a high degree. and those who heard her last night in Harry stillwell Edwards charming story. His Defense, predict for her a most successful career as an entertainer of the literary public. In pathos she holds her audience in such tension that they fairly shout for joy when the scene shifts and they are given an excuse for laughing, for one has to laugh at short intervals to keep from weeping aloud."--Macon Telegraph. Tickets for the performance may be se- cured from any policeman. at the office of the chief. the Jefferson. Norton's. Ma bers, Morrow and Sinnege. Adams, Dew berry's and Patton's drug stores.

Exhibition Contest Will be PIayr
 ed on Thursday
A TEAM OF LOCAL CRACKS
The Last Man of Mllls' Team Is Ex- pscted To Arrive Today, and the Birmingham Team Will
 Then Be Complete.

Manager Mills has arranged an exhibi- tion game of baseball to be played at the Seventh street park Thursday after noon. between the league team and local nine composed of number of the best amateur players in the city.
 In the local nine will be such well known players as Hart, vigo. Gresham Donovan and others, among the best ann ateurs in Birmingham
 The batting order of the two teams will be as follows:
 Birmingham-Moss. s.s; Culver, c.: Gettinger, l. f.; LeRocque, 1 b.; Leidy, c. f; veitch, 2 b.; Harlow, T. f.. Mauch, 3 b.; Gillon. D.; Brandt, D.; Wilhelm. D.
 Locals-king, C.. Hart, p. or f.; Gres- ham. b.; sohoppert, b.; Donovan. a s.; Vigo, b.; J. Donovan, l. f.; Cass c. f.. Sawyer, D. or r. f.
 Last Man somes Today.
 Hagerman, the only absentee, is ex- pected to report to Manager Mills to- day. The last heard form hin. he was at his home at Oxford, Mich, and his continued absence is a mystery. He will most likely. be here tomorrow, however, and the team will then be complete.
 Manager Mills. has fewer men under contract than any other manager in the association. He has only twelve men signed, while the Selma club has eigh- teen and the Nashville, Memphis, Shreve- port, Little Rock and New Orleans clubs have over twenty each. and the Chatta- nooga club nearly as many. The men on the local team. however. have handled themselves we'll in the few practice games they have been able to sandwich between rains and the enthusiasts are satisfied Manager Mills has gotten together a team equally as good as any other in the Southern Association.
 J. Biach & Sons have offered to give a suit of clothes to the first man on the local team who makes home run hit.
 A mail vote has been taken with regard to the playing rules for the season. The new rules adopted@by the National League during the past winter making foul-hits strikes and hit-by- pitchers balls were not to the liking of the managers in the Southern Association. The managers for warded their votes to President Kent yes- terday. It is understood that all of the managers voted for the playing rules of last year, with the exception of the one requiring the. catcher to stay up under the bat all the time. ,a

GREAT DEMAND FOR
 FESTIVAL TICKETS
Nearly Two Thousand Seats
 Have Been Reserved
CHORUS IS WELL TRAINED
Leading Feature Will Be Theodore Thomas Orchestra, Which is Probably the Best Organize
  ton of Kind in World.

Nearly two thousand seats for the May Festival concerts have been reserved, and still the ticket-holders ars seeking the box sheet to have space set aside for them.
 The concerts will take place on the ev- enings of April 90 and May 1. The lead ing feature will be the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, the best in the world. The peo- pie of Birmingham have heard the Strauss Orchestra from Vienna, the lead ing musical center of the old world, and were able to make comparison with that and the Thomas aggregation. The Chica- go orchestra came out of this comparison with added iaureis on its brow.
 Thomas comes to Birmingham this year with the most eminent list of soloists. he has ever had. The public will. In partiou- lar, be glad to learn that he brings both yiolincellist and violinist of note. who will be heard In solos. It has been a long time since an eminent 'eeilist has been heard in this city. The public ear is keen for that pleasure. The violin is always welcome. s,afs ss.
 Local Chorus We'll Trained.
 The local chorus is better trained than any of It's predecessors. The concerts will include number of orchestral selections under tho direction of MT. Thomas of in- comparable order. Chief among these will be the celebrated Seventh Symphony of Beethoven. This magnificent compost tion has an aiertness and a ginger about 1t that not only pleases the culti- vated ear, but all others as well. The feet of the audience irresistibly keep time with the matchless and Inspiring move ment .. The demand for tickets from the out side is growing. Each days mail brings number of orders, and several nearby places have sent agents to the city to make purchases for residents of those lo- calities Tuscaloosa and Gadsden will be especially we'll represented at the con- certs.
