 'fhs speaker referred to- the promi- nsnt place that the old Alabama bris gade, of which he was in command, hos teen occupying during the past few a4yt. ending with the reelection of Senator Pettus yesterday.

 Much of General Lees stirring ad- dress was devoted to recounting the heroic deeds of the past.

THEATRES
aThe vanderhilt cun.-


 An audience that lacked much of be- ing large saw the presentation of The Vanderbilt Cup at the Montgomery Theatre last night The play. a musi- good comedy and 1t Is pleasing.
 The play, as its name indicates. is written around the annual automobile cup race on Long Island and like an riable. Its music was catchy and was rendered by principals and choruses well up to the average of musical comedies. As whole the play was thoroughly enjoyable.
 The story of the comedy is altogeth- CT automobilian. Its first scene Is in a hotel for woman and on the day prior to the race. The situation affords much fun and the opportunity for the in- troduction of some of the hest songs heard in Montgomery this year. Other scenes of the play are laid upon or near the racing course. h was a disap- pointment that the lack of room upon the stage prevented the usual rendering of the automobile race for only one auto could be brought upor the stage and much of the spirit of the enter tainment was lost: Notwithstanding na ' acion @errs aekng Mas of sx delay ana

 Of course. "The Vanderbilt Cup" without Llsie Janis, is not "The Van derblt Cup" but Montgomery is long distance from Broadway, and Miss Dovey was as good substitute as we could have expected.
