HAD A
GOOD TIME.
Large Crowd Attended the
Entertainment Given by
the Athletic Club.

Notwithstanding the fact that there
were some unavoidable delays between
the exhibitions, the entertainment
given by the Wadsworth Athletic Club
at Music Hall Tueday evening. passed
off very pleasantly and was enjoyed
by the large crowd In attendance.
A large number of the members
and friends Of the Reno Wheel
men availed themselves of the invita-
ton extended by the Athletic Club
and were in attendance.
After the arrival Of No. ., on which
many of the visitors arrived, T. c..

not act, and there was no little trouble
in securing substitute. Jack Wam-
sley was finally decided upon and the
second preliminary announced The
contest was ten round boxing bout
between Jimmy Wall of Reno and
Louie Boise Of Wadsworth. Boise
was plainly the better man and had
everything his own way from the be-
ginning. In the second round the
Reno boy claimed foul and refused
to continue the contest, and left the
ring The decision was left to the
judges, E. Criswold of Wadsworth
and Jack Rafferty, of Reno, who
decided to call the affair no contest
and divide the purse equally between
Boise and Wall. This decision was
satisfactory, as no money had been
bet, and the crowd was there simply
for the entertainment.
Tom Ingalls, was finally selected as
referee for the main event. slx-round
boxing exhibition between George
Barry of Reno, and Billy Mcintosh oi
Wadsworth. Mr.. ingalls, proved to
be very efficient referee and there
was no fouing. Neither of the con-
testants went down. but simply spared
for points. Barry had the advantage
in height. weight and reach, but Nc
Intosh was quicker and more clever
with his mits. At the end of the sixth
inning neither man had suffered much
damage and the referee gave the de-
cislon to Mcintosh on points Nc
money had been bet on the contest
and there was no i'll feeling regarding
the decision.
The unavoidable delays occasioneo
by the selection of referees are to be
regretted. but as a whole. those who
attended we're we'll plased with the
evenings entertainment.

 The garden party will be the occasion for the ladies to wear their most be- coming summer gowns, and their picture hats.

ANNISTON HEARING
 NEW KIND OF TRIAL
Member of Civil Service Commission Comes to Hear Evidence In
 Postoffce Matter.

Anniston. April 1A-(Special) )-Today's Hot Blast contains the following:
 A new kind of a trial and quite a sensational one for Annston, is on the records for today. A member of the civil service commission from the city of Wash ington comes to hear charges and coun- ter charges preferred against each other by government employees. When Oxford became q station under the Annlston post office administration Charles G. Morris who waa a carrier here was transferred to that place for the delivery of mails; trouble soon arose between him and D. Houston Smith, clerk in charge, who holds the official position at that station.
 The trouble soon became too personal for endurance by either. Morris was sus pended by the postmaster and charges of insubordtnaton and neglect of duty were filed against him in Washington. Nor ris retaliated by filing charges of a very serious nature against Smith and 1t is to hear the full evidence in these cases that the civn service commission comes. It is understood that quite a number of witnesses will be introduced. The examin- ations will be altogether private. Decision is reserved until the entire civil service commission board, consisting of three members, can examine into the case in City of Washington. It is possible that one or both of the men may lose their positions if the charges are proven to be true.

sale of seats yesterday was a sure indi- cation of the interest which has been aroused in this event. Those desiring choice seats in the orchestra should se- cure them early today.
 The Commercial club has not sent out any eanvassers to sell tickets, but has relied on the taste and patriotism of the community for patronage to make this undertaking a success.
 The club has accomplished almost an impossbility in raising the funds and completing the great colossus of Vulcan since the middle of last November. Many would-be prophets have said all along that it could not be done and as a mat ter of fact period of al least one year was required for the work which has been done in this connection in the last five months
 More funds are badly needed to defray the expenses of the exhibit at St. Louis, and the Malek recital is offered by the Commercial club in the hope that all lov- CTS of music will patronize 1t for the feast of melody which it affords, and that others will be there in part to hear the greatest of living piansts, and in part to help the great movement for the advancement of Birmingham.
 To place this artistic event within the reach of all the prices at the Jefferson have been reduced for tonight, and seats can be had at prices ranging from 2o cent to T.
 Following are the patronnesses of the concert tonight: Mesdames T. G. Bush, c. s. Simmons, W. P. c. Harding, Rufus N Rhodes. Robert Jemison. Solon Jacobs, Oliver Chalifoux. James Bowron' T. 0.
