CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR

w. Melville Drennen will not be a can

next municipal primary. A statement to
this effect was made yesterday afternoon
by the chief executive of the city of Bir-

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES.
Gentry Bros Dog and Pony Show New
Throughout.

New from top to bottom, the Gentry
Bros dog and pony show gave its initial
performances for this season on the
property Of the Seaboard Air Line yester
day to two big crowds. Everything about
the show is fresh, and the acts are an
Improvement over the old ones which
the show has had for the last three or
four years.
Several news acts are worthy of atten-
ton. A burlesque chicken fight is unique
and funny, furnishing much amusement.
There are some trained chickens in the
act, and a giant mache rooster which
has a fight with bantam.
In the after performance the monkey
looping the-loop in an automobile causes
several seconds of excitement, and Is
ample reason for paying an extra 10
cents.
During the entire performance specta-
tor Is struck with the fact that all the
acts are new. None of the old stereo-
typed variety seen in dog and pony shows
are presented.
