return from abroad. where he made a
careful study OF the various conditions
for the big European events of the year,
has Inspected the proposed Parkway site,
and IL was learned that largely through
his influence a longer racing circuit will
undoubtedly be completed for the big cup
race In October than originally seemed
feasible to the committee, While moth
ing positive on this subject has been an
nounced, it has been generally under
stood that the committee proposed 10
build sixteen mile circuit, and TO re-
quire the care in the Vanderbilt Cup
event to traverse this section twenty
times, All OF the big races abroad ,are
held over much longer circuits. varying
from forty-nine TO fifty miles for the
Grand PrlX TO about eighty miles for the
German Emperor's cup race,

The lack Of interest and enthusiasm IN

OF the reasons FOR this, the most marked
appear TO be that the committee mas

At the Biiou.

The Bijou is doing lively business this
week with "Fantasma." a novelty that
is very popular in Birmingham. There is
much excellent comedy i'm the perform
ance, most of it due to the antics of Pico,
the clown. and a great variety of puz-
zling mechanical tricks which are in all
three acts Pico is played by Fred Han
Ion, a young pantomimist of ability, who
does not eXaggerate his role in the least.
Pico is a favorte of the children but his
adventures are entertaining to all classes
of theatre-goers. George Hanlon also has
a good comedy role and makes the most
of his opportunities, while a large COM
pany assists the principals.
The scenic features of "Fantasma' are
ON an elaborate scale. and have won
much favorable comment this week. The
transformation scenes are brilliant and
offer maze of colors enhanced by bril-
liant light effects. All of the scenery is
good.
The usual performance will be given to-
night.

THE FACT THAT FEVER SEEMS
TO BE SPREADING.
BIRMlNGHAI

The announcement that Cincinnati is
to have a night and day bank in the
near future with a capital stock of $500
600, caused much interest and comment
in Birmingham among bankers. As a
rule. the bankers here do not thing very
much of the night and day bank prop
osition and look upon it as something of
fad. W. ". Crawford. president of
the American Trust and Savings bank
said yesterday:
There is no need for a night and day
bank in Cincinnati any more than there
was in New York The night and day
bank in New York has not been sue
cess and the business hardly pays the ex-
penses Of keeping open.
II talked to the janitor in that bank
recently and he told me that there were
only a few depositors at night, some
times not over three or four. 1t was
fad with some people who had money
and wanted to erect a building. The
bank building in New York is a hand
some one, finished in Alabama marble.
1t is one of the prettiest I have seen.
"A day and night bank in Birmingham
would never pay, in fact there is abb
solutely no call for one. Any depostor
can get to the safety deposit vaults of
the various banks in Birmingham as late
as o'clock, and that is all that is
necessary in a city like this, or anywhere
else for that matter. Such a bank in
Birmingham would not pay the light bill,
much less the watchman's hire and the
additional premium on the burglar pol

score was tied. but on the play off the
Birmingham boys were able to throw a
