'SDOW in the Morning Bu Clouds Cleared
POOR AND NEE0YREMEMBEREO
sJhe Churches Were We'll Attended and Football and Matinees At- traCted Crowds-The City
 Bright With Color.

Birmingham celebrated Thanksgiving Day in practically the same manner that the day has been celebrated since this town became a city. Ushered in by a fall of snow the day looked as If it would be one of the most disagreeable of the season but the clouds cleared away, the snow ceased to fall and by afternoon 1t was fairly pleasant day. with the excep- ton of the cold which took many una wares.
 The churches were open and services were held in all of them as announced yesterday morning. Contributions were received at many of them for the various charitable organizations of the city and they will be duly distributed.
 The charitable organizations were also opened and liberal donations were made by the people of the city. At the Mercy Home the children were given a special dinner and the home was kept open all day. Numerous donations of clothing, 1000 ana money were IeCeiNSo.
 At the headquarters of the United Char tiles the women received contributions throughout the day and distributed them among the poor and needy of the city. Many poor families of the city were thus made thankful. St. Vincents hospital was well remembered.
 At the city and county jails special
 
 including turkey, cranberry sauce, roast beefs and vegetables. It was real day of thanksgiving with them and the glad songs of the prisoners could be heard at frequent intervals throughout the day. The inmates of the Boys Industrial school at East Lake were made happy by the liberal donations of a number of the citizens of the state. Not only were large amounts contributed in money for some needed repairs at the home, but clothing and food were also sent
 CONTRIBUTIONS IN ABUNDANCE.
 Although, the day was dreary and cold, the people turned out by the thousands to the various attractions. Every place that was opened was well filled with enthusiastic people. At the football game there were about 2000 people, while the matinee and night performances at the Jefferson and the Bijou drew large audi ences. At the latter house the football teams of the University of Alabama and the Georgia School of Technology were entertained in a box party by the man agement.
 Society, in all its gay clothes, turned out to all the events, and at the football game there were over 100 vehicles filled with the pretty women and the dashing cavaliers of Birmingham, all decorated in the colors of one or the other of the teams. The sight was animating. The ribbons, flowers and banners all com bined to make the field alive with color. At the theatres there were several box parties and probably the women were more elegantly costumed than at any previous occasion this season.
 The day passed without any serious ac- cidents. Very few men under the effects of intoxicants were seen on the streets, although the crowds were large through out the day.

An Explanation.

On account of mechanical difficulties the Age-Heraid is forced to appear in abbreViat- ed form this morning. The gas supply which is used to keep the metal hot in the lin otype machines was exhaust. ed from some unexplainable cause early in the night, and in spite of every effort on the part of the Age-Herald, it was impossible to obtain suffl- cient supply of gas to put the matter for today's paper in type.
 Notwithstanding these diff culties the Age-Herald has attempted to furnish it's read CTS with the cream of the news, though many matters of interest were necessarily
 omitted.
 This is intended both as an
 explanation and an apology
 for a situation which was be-
 yond the power of the Age Herald to remedy.
 The Age-Herald like any other corporation or person in Birmingham Is dependent on
 the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for { it's supply of gas. About ten o'clock when the pressure of
 gas began to fail, efforts were
 made to have the. company
 rectify it. The manager of it's gas department could not be
 found and President Jemison
 said he could do nothing to relieve the situation. The
 only employe at the gas
 works was a negro watchman
 and appeals for gas at the headquarters of the company
 were fruitless until 2:30 ] o'clock this morning, when a man was sent to fix the gas pressure.
 When another Thanks
 giving day comes around The
 Age Herald trusts that one
 of the things it will be thank
 full for will be that it has not had another night like last
 night.

Champion Trotter of the World Will Be
 at Fair Grounds
 The widespread interest in the per- formance of the great Cresceus has not diminished. The management of the races and MT. Ketchum the owner of Cresceus, greatly regretted the postpone ment which was made necessary by the soggy condition of the track yesterday, but this postponement will result in a much faster track and far better racing tomorrow.
 Weather indications could not be more favorable. few hours of sunshine has rendered the track almost perfect, and the probabilities are that the temperature tomorrow will be milo and balmy and the sky clear.
 The extra days of rest which Cresceus has enjoyed have increased the chances of his lowering the worlds record espe- cially on a track which will be in an ideal condition tomorrow. Trotting and pacing races will begin at 2:3O ocloc.. and Cres- ceus will start at 3:30 o'clock. Memohs band will play at the fair grounds throughout the afternoon. The judges and timers of the races will be Major F. Y. Anderson, 4l. II. Mayberry and MT. Chen oWeth.
