Rain broke up the golf tournament be- noon, but the visitors had played long enough to become greatly interested in the links at the Country club
 Birmingham, as far as the game went, was well in the lead of both the Atlanta and Anniston teams, but the scores were not given out as the contests were not all completed. There were, however, several excellent scores made, both by the visitors and the local team.
 This was the first tournament on the new Country club links, and the first time that the visitors had ever seen them. They considered them equal to any links in the south. and predict that they will be the best after they have been used for while. They are also highly pleased with the Country club building and grounds.
 A number of prizes were offered for the best scores for the visitors. The prizes and winners were as follows:
 l. Handsome golf bag, umbrella and half dozen balls-won by Judge T. W. Coleman of Anniston team.
 Second prize for next pest score by visitors, pair of handsome military brushes-Won by W. c. Humphrey of At lanta.

TRYING NEW WAY
 OF MAKING IRON Tests Being Made With Fluorine
 in the District IMPROVES CLASS OF IRON FIuorine Is a Highly Refined Product of Fluorspar and Has Affinity
 for Sulphur and Phos- phorus.
IMPROVES CLASS OF IRON

Tests are being made in the Birmingham district with iuorine. a highly refined pro- duct Of fluorspar found i'll this district, which will probably result in securing a much finer grade of iron.
 This product has been recently made and tried in other places. and is proving very successful. Solon Jacobs who repre- sents the manufacturers. has sent several hundred pounds to various iron com panies in the district, and tests now being made are highly satisfactory.
 Tests that have so far been made have shown that by the moderate use of fiuor- inc in all kinds of castings that the tensil strength has been very materially in creased. This is by reason of the fact that huorine, which has a great af- finty for sulphur and phosphorous, the two gases that tend to make brittle rons are almost entirely eliminated.
 The use of fluorine in blast furnaces, it is said, will produce the same effects as has been shown in foundries. and 1t is predicted that numerous experiments on ai large scale will be carried on by some of the leading Iron producers, who are al- ways seeking a means of eliminating the phosphorous and sulphur from their pro- duct. By the liberal use of fuorine cheap- CT raw material can be used, and the cost of iron thereby considerably decreased.
 It Is estimated that two pounds of huorlne will remove all but the merest trace of sulphur and phosphorous from a ton of iron and that the grade of the iron will much more than compensate the user for the price of fluorine.
 Efforts are being made to reduce the price of fuorine. so that it can be used without much additional expense by all the furnaces and fonldries in the district-. The iron men are very much interested in the tests, ana if they are satisfactory the predictions are that the new product will be generally used. It is made by a Kentucky firm, and 1t Is only recently attention has been paid to purifying the product

CARNIVAL WASHED
 OUT BY THE RAIN
HEAVY DOWNPOUR YESTERDAY DIMINISHES THE CROWDS AND ESPLANADE LOOKS BEDRAG- GLED-THE SHOW IS ENDED.

The heavy rain of yesterday afternoon and last night proved disastrous to the carnival shows. Although the "spielers" ventured forth courageously yesterday afternoon, their strident voices were quickly silenced by downpour that inn mediately followed a few minutes of sunshine.
 As result of the abundant moisture the esplanade presented a sadly bedrag- gled appearance last night. The show people made vigorous effort to create some excitement, but enthusiasm was lacking and the attendance was rather small, although an immense crowd would have gone out had it not been for the indictment weather. Several of the shows were drowned out and made no effort to attract the crowds, although the crystal maze, Creation" the hippodrome, the animal show and one or two others were open for business.
 Davolo did not loop the loop, as his paraphernalia was taken down yesterday afternoon. The high dive was also cut out of the programme last night, proba- bly, because the crowd was too small. The entire performance in the animal show was given and all the numbers on the programme in the hippodrome, with the exception of the loop the loop act. The gorgeous entrance to the esplanade was taken down yesterday afternoon. The Ferris wheel and the roller coaster were also dismantled.
 The carnival closed last night, and 1t is generally conceded to have been one of the best affairs of the kind ever held in Birmingham. With the exception of last night when the rain interfered, the attendance was record breaking. It Is said that there were 10000 paid admis- sions to the animal show alone. This may easily be believed when the immense crowds that focked to every performs ance are remembered The class of att fractions offered was also above the aver age All the shows were worth seeing and the main attractions ranked among the best The Mundy Amusement com pany made many friends in Birmingham, who will welcome them on their return.
