The Game Everything.

The college atmosphere has Surrounucu and enveloped the city The game tomor- row is the topic of conversation. The legislatures reform of the railroads, the probability of statutory prohibition bill, and the controversy as to the owner ship of the Central of Georgia are tame and base. The scrap of Mayor Ward and Alderman Parker is delegated to the rear, seat; the strenuous efforts of MT. Roosevelt to obtain the nomination to ,lllird term and the statement of the will ingness of William Jennings Bryan to again lead democracy are as nothing The game is discussed the chances of Ala bama to win in spite of Auburns splen- did record pass from mouth to mouth, ahd nothing else will please or gain an aud fence. The merchants of the city have decorated their windows. Here 8 lady in s24. 90 suit proudly waving the orange and blue of Auburn, and aIongside her stands a buxom lassie with the crimson and the white. Banners, flags, ribbons, pictures, flowers, emblems are scattered everywhere, and everything seems to tell you about the great struggle of the mor- row.
 Yesterday the vanguard of the great army of the spectators arrived. Many additional are coming today and tomor- TOW two specials, one from the beautiful plain where Auburn is, and another from the historic ground of Tuscaloosa, where every home has its quota of oak trees, will empty upon the amazed city 100O yelling students. The teams arrive to- might. Alabama will make the New Florence it's headquarters. while the Au- burn contingency will be homed by the Hillman.
 Tonight there will be a smoker at the Birmingham Athletic club in honor of the teams, and a programme of speeches and toasts is arranged. Tomorrow morning the students of other days will clasp the hands of comrades seldom seen, and throughout the city, arm in arm, hun dreds of partisans will tread the streets, crying aloud the praise of their college, and shouting defiance to their rivals.
 An Inspiring Spectacle.
 There will be a spectacular and bril- liant scene at the fair grounds before the play is on. The spacious Srandstand will be filled to oyerfiowing with spec tators, waving banners, shouting aloud with enthusiasm unrestrained. The space between the grandstand and the park will be thick with people, who will surge against the fence and wires encircling the gridiron. On the opposite side au- tomobiles and traps and bugSies will be lined, in which men and women stand erect prepared to watch every move of the strugglers, to note every clever coup, or accurately delivered blow. The center of attraction will be the sponsors, their maids and their escorts. Auburn's' party will visit the ground in d tallyho gaily 1oedecked with gaudy ribbons and waving banners. The sponsors are Miss Bessie Thach of Auburn and Miss Annie nAveryt of Birmingham. Their maids are Misses Lucille Davidson, June Jackson, Tessie Brantley, Madge Aveiyt Fannie Hart we'll and Jamie Wells. The young men of the party will be Messrs. Morgan Smaw, c. A. Wilmore. c. w. Woodruff, T, B. Dryer, w. T. Perdue, D. T. Henderson, B. T. Shi and R. B. Cheatham. Ala bana's party will move to the grounds in an automobile, the big Maxwell ma chine which was seen at the state fair The young ladies, as well as their escorts, will appear in University of Alabama sweaters, the cloth being of white, with
