 Operatic composers are usually men who have devoted a lifetime to the tech nical study of music They write their
 scores as a pure matter of business, clinging to traditions and following all sorts of set rules in harmony, thorough bass and composition. The results are frequently satisfactory. but often. the op- posite, showing the strain resulting from the limitations of infiexible regulations. In Willard Spenser we have composer who is entirely the creature of inspira- tion; man who has the inborn gift of melody and who jots down his num- bers as they came to him apparently un- bidden. The result is evident in MT. Spen- ser's three successful operas. 'The Little Tycoon" "The Princess Bonnie" and Miss Bob White,' all of which were suc- cesses. The simple flowing melodies of these charming operas have clearly proven that a technical musical training is wroth far less than natures gifts to the successful operatic composer.

Opening at AudItorIum.

Advance sales for the opening tonight of the Auditorium as a vaudeville the atre have been large, and a representa- tive audience of Birmingham people is expected. The bill has been arranged with special attention to comedy acts, and with the exception of the time Pauline Hall holds the boards the audience will be kept laughing. She will sing selections from many of her former successes. Some of the songs she sings are famous. They include the Dolly" song from "Ermine," the 'Honeymooners' and 'aTake It Home and Give It to the Babies.''
 Mazuz and Mazette in the Brakeman and the Tramp" are considered two of the best acrobatic comedians on the vaude- vile stage, and the act in which they are to appear here is said to be very clever and funny. It is original and entertaining so it is said, and will doubtless prove one of the best acts on the bill. The stage set ting requires special scenery. A railroad station with it's surroundings is the main part.
 Woodford's monkey circus Will probably prove a strong drawing card for the children at the matinees This act is a miniature circus in which the ringmas- ter's place is held by monkey. which is said to be a natural born comedian with almost human intelligence. The monkeys do most of their work with pair of ex- ceptionally weh-trained ponies. While the act is specially adapted for children. it is said to amuse the old at the same time.

Besides his lip ability he is cemed- ian, and has clever monologue Howe, Wallen and Walters, who have been fea- tured for several years with Primrose and DockstadeTs minstrels, have a black faced comedy musical act, with which they have made a great hit for several weeks past on the vaudeville stage.

On the table the height of the net va- ries from to [ inches. The lower the net the more difficult are the strokes to return. To warm the racquets in- creases the elasticity and tone. as warm ing a banjo head increases it's resonance.
 The game itself Is for two players, one at each end of the table, which may vary in length from to feet being half as wide as it is long. The player who deliv- CTS the ball is the server" and the other is the ''strikerout." At the end of the first game the strikerout becomes the server, and so on, alternately. The ser- vice must be underhand and delivered from behind the ends of the table.
 The ball served must drop on the table beyond the net; if into the net or on the table the striker is out-there is no second service In serving it is let if the ball touch the net in passing over. If the ball in play strikes any object above or around the table before it bounds on the table service (net or posts excepted) 1t counts against the player.
 The server wins a stroke if the striker out fails to return the service, or if he fails to return the ball in play from be- yond the end of the table. The striker out wins A stroke if the server serves fault fails to return the ball in play or if he returns the ball so that it falls off the table.
 No volleying is allowed. but if the ball touches the table top it is in play and may be taken at half volley.
 On either players winning first stroke the score Is called 15 for that player; on either players winning a second stroke the score is called 30 on third stroke the score is called 40; and the fourth stroke won by that player is scored game" except as below:
 If both players have won three strokes the score of 40 Is called deuce, and the next stroke won by either player is scored advantage to that player. Then if the same player wins the next stroke he wins the game. If he loses the next stroke the score is again called deuce, and so on, until the player wins the two strokes immediately following the score of deuce. when the game is scored for that player.
 The player who first wins six games wins set. The game also may be scored by points, 20 up. The players. in this case, change the service after every five points scored after the manner of overs" at cricket.
 70. yes.' sighed an elderly resident of the Lake Shore drive, when asked of the game, this table tennis or ping pong. or what ever you call it. Is all right for the players and for those who look on but 1t is h--l to a man who is trying to read or. think within sound of that mo- notonous ping, pong or .peng. punk in the next room."
The age-herald., 1902-02-03

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Ping, pong; ping, pong; ping, pongi ping, pong; ping"
 Then instead of pong there is shuffling of feet. the snap of small. shell-lfke ball on the floor, an exclama- tion from some one-and when the person who has just opened the street door at Spalding's turns his attention to the ex- treme left of the house, he sees rect angular table. 8 feet long and feet wide, with q miniature tennis net stretched across the center; one person is st landing at the table holding a miniature racquet in his hand, while the other player, with a similar racquet. is chasing a white ball an inch and a half in diameter, which has rolled away some where out of sight.
 And at Spaldings they say that in 1b00 dining rooms belonging to the Chicago so- ciety this ping pong Is reverberant sev- eral evenings a week; that Chicago's 400 calls it table tennis; and that Mrs. Pot ter Palmer bought the first four sets placed on sale in the house. Since that time the factory at Springfield, Mass. has not been able to turn the parapher- nalia Of the game out nearly fast enough to supply the Chicago demand
 It is conceded now too, that since the advent of the dear little Pinky Panky Poo belonging to Mrs. Patrick Campbell and the inevitable importation of English ping pong. as the fashionable name for this parior tennis, the fates them selves could not stop the march of these alliteratives.
 For ''parlor tennis in Chicago is the game of 'ping pong" which has driven London society frantic; which is sweep ing English conservatism into garbage heaps, and which already is taking its place in current literature with all the dig nifty which once belonged to whist, chess, and the bank at Monte Carlo. London society has ben stampeded by ping pong. Only now and then does society literature enter it's protests, as does a pessimistic contributor to the Christmas Sketch. This iconiclast says:
 And inside the library Sir John brood- ed, and with determination. What confoundedly rascally game ping pong was, anyhow. Why had he not insisted on drawing room croquet as the least of | dozen disagreeable evils2 The parch- ment in the ping pong racquet had now become strained to concert pitch by the heat of the dining room, and the sound eontralo to a piercing soprano which rat tied on his eardrums like the reports of rife shots.
 Family festivities always struck him as peculiarly melancholy now. It made him miserable to be so happy. The only real use of these games was that they kept the younger boys from smoking cigarettes and from dissipating generally.
