 The lines leading to Bloem Fontaine. Oak Park and Cloverdale was congested from an early hour in the morning.

 The biggest hegira from the city, how ever. was the movement to Cioyerdaie and 1t was confined exclusively to ne- groes. The annual Fourth of July oaroe, cue of the negroes was held near the golf links at Cloverdale. It was estimated that during part of the day over 5000 ne- groes were on the grounds. The baroe- cue was held for revenue only. Such an affair is held annually, and this year It had been widely advertised. Hundreds or negroes came from the country to get place at the table. and to mingle with the throng of other blacks: The major part of the gathering was. however, made up of Mont9omery negroes who had been given day off by their city employers. .
 Regardless of the. fact that no formal order of exercises had been arranged to celebrate the day. the Fourth of July was made notable in Montgomery by the wide and general observance by all classes and conditions of the city's peo- pie.

CONVENT COMPLETED

The new convent school building on
Fort street nave been completed, as far
as the facade is concerned by the plac-
ing of a statue in the niche left for it's
reception above the central doorway.
The statuary is of stamped metal
weighing $50 pounds and represents a
small child nesting close to a guardian
angel which points heavenwards win
one hand and arm while the other rests
prOtestingly on the little one, who looks
upwards with tiny hands clasped in
prayer.
The group is painted in natural colors
and accords well with the horid orna-
mentation of the central facade. 1t has
been securely anchored and bolted In
place and the scaffolding through which
it was set in place will be removed to-
day. The wOrkmen are now hard at
work finishing up the interior and the
building will be completed within a
very few days.
A peep through the open door of the
building into the grounds of the convent
garden, with it's bright foliage, a small
statue of the Virgin showing among the
leaves and the arched colOnnade of the
farther buildings, makes d very pic
turesque bit
The buildings now scattered over the
interior grounds are to be removed,
with the exception of the stone build
ing which abuts on Garden Lane, in
due course of time, leaving a quad
rangle which will be beautifed with
lawns and flower beds by the convent
gardeners.

THOUGHT HE WAS DROWNED,

An intoxicated native man wander
ed aboard the steamer Kauai yesterday
afternoon short time before she sail
ed from the Inter-Island wharf. He
lost his balance and fell over the rail
and disappeared under the water. He
did not rise to the surface so there
was general rush to lower boats and
try to rescue the supposed drowned
man. Nothing was seen of the fellow
for fully five minutes Finally some
one happened to see the man far out
in the harbor, swimming toward the
Quarantine Island. The man was res
cued, considerably soberer than when
he toppled into the water.

AT BASEBALL
LEAGUE WILL TAKE UP THE
MATTER.
Efforts Being Made To Have Games
Thrown-Players Accepting Will BE
Ruled Perpetually From Diamonds.

Ruled Perpetually From Diamonds.
Baseball players will hold serious
consultation concerning the brides
which have been offered various play
ers to throw their games. The betting
element has been growing rapidly of
late in connection with the league
games and that organization is deter.
mined to keep it's hands clean whatever
the onlookers may do among them
selves
AS is only natural the leading team
has been the one mostly approached.
Two. or three members have been
tempted to throw the game for sums
varying from $l20 to $3.50. The forth
coming game between the II. A. c. and
the Males is the one towards which
most Of the efforts have been concen-
trated. The bride of the larger mem
toned sum was offered in connection
with a contract which was to be signed
by the player in which he agreed to
throw the game, his position on the
team warranting his ability to do so.
These cases of attempted bribery
have been reported to the team cap
tains and the matter will be promptly
taken up at a special meeting The
efforts of the league will endeavOr to
make a rule by which any player con-
victed of taking a bride or of being in
any way concerned in taking a bride,
will be expelled from the league per-
petually The resolution will be pass
ed to other Hawaiian leagues, who will
be asked to cooperate in preventing
the player from ever playing on an
Island diamond.
Tomorrow will see many changes in
h., ton, e - ID,
son, Tom Pryce and Thompson will
drop out of the nine. Sam Leslie will
take his old stand by the first bag, and
young Bolster will be sent to guard
third base in place of the player whose
errors have been too frequent of late.
There will also be a change in right
field which is not yet decided upon.
