 Alice Ainsley. the mountaineer's daugh hter-Louise Vale.
 In the Baldwin Melville Stock com pany Walter S. Baldwin has assembled a coterie of talented artists. and if the opening appearance of this company at the Virginia theatre yesterday may be taken as a forecast it Is certain that 1t will become popular during it's stay in Birmingham. In "Cumb erland '61" there is great room for the dis play of the ability of the members of the company and each was up to the required standard.
 This play tells a story of Kentucky in the days of 1861. The opening act shows scene from the West Point military academy, while the other four are laid in the good old state of Ken lucky. It moves along intense lines but has a delightful strain of comedy running through it. It takes love story around a family feud and with true lovelore brings everything out to a happy finish for everyone. There Is no touch of melodrama, and the play is one of the most interesting that has

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Man of the Hour"

Only a fair audience saw George Broadhurst's play. The Man of the Hour" at the Jefferson theatre last night.
 The play was not as acceptable as when presented in Birmingham last season.
 However, work drawn on the lines of "The Man of the Hour" cannot be bad. It stands for the good in life honesty as opposed to crookedness, broadness as opposed to hypocricy and fanaticism.
 It is really the story of rival alder men in some large American city where graft flourished.
 Then there are several chapters of love making which appeal to portions of every audience.
 And at the end, the honest alderman has the laugh on the dishonest, the hero marries the heroine and all Is we'll
 Theodore Marston and Harry Mills, playing the roles of the rival alder men, were very good.
 The remaining members of the cast did their parts well, but none appeared out of the ordinary.

Thurston the Maaician.

Thurston. the magician, began weeks engagement at the Bijou last night and he is as Elusive as ever He carries a large company with him to assist in the various illusions and the audience was delighted and mystifed last night. To those who like to see mysteries Thurston offers a novel en- tertainment. He has a number of new features this year which add to his al ready large repertoire of illusive feats. Since the retirement of Kellar the greE magician, Thurston is generally re- garded as alone in the higher field of magic and he Is sure to be a big draw ing card in Birmingham.
 Patrons usually go to see a perform ance of this kind in a sceptical mood and alert to pick the flaws and decide how the tricks are done. Thurston, however, had them completely mysti- fled last night and he bids fair to mys tify his audience still further during his Birmingham engagement. There will be performance every night this week with matinees today, Thursday and Saturday.

New York. October 2S.-That both Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson mean business and will sign articles of agreement with out much haggling over details is the conviction of New York sporting men who have seen and talked with both fighters during the last few weeks. The articles of agreement will be signed oe fore the present week ends, if all goes well, and then tho business of accepting an offer from some cldb will be in order Tentative bids for Inc bout began to come in today.
 Johnson, who wac in Chicago today should reach New York by the end of the week, and the two fighters will mee< and talk over the conditions for the bout.
 Jeffries showed considerable enthus- tasm regarding the match today.

All arrangements were made and plans completed at a meeting of the Busi- ness Mems league in the Chamber of Com merce building yesterday afternoon for the big auto racing programme which has been announced for the State Fair grounds in Birmingham on Tuesday aft ernoon, November ?, the first day of the Taft celebration.
 Officials of the league state that Bar ney Oldheld, one of the worlds greatest drivers of the track monsters, will be here and the Birmingham motor fans will see him drive his magnificent Benz ma chine, which he Is booked to pilot in the great speedway meet at Atlanta.
 With this same car Oldheld established worlds mark of 43 1-1O seconds for a mile at Indianapolis during the speed way carnival there and later at Lowell. Mass, he lowered the worlds mark for a mile on a dirt road to 39 9-10 seconds. At Atlanta Saturday in the speed trials here Oldfield covered five miles in a fraction over minutes and g seconds, which breaks all worlds records for that distance on a track of any kind.
 Because of former disappointments the Business Mems league refused to an- nounce any meet until Old1eld's name had been secured to a contract. It is announced he will positively appear here and in the car that is conceded by all auto experts to be the fastest in Amer ica today.
 In order to give Oldfeld a real race the Business Mems league went a step further and secured as an opponent a

 The season at the Majestic theatre | was formally inaugurated under most fattering conditions yesterday after noon and last night when two large audiences greeted Miss Mabel Paige and her stock company in very clever production of Clyde Fitch's Lovers Lane," clean, wholesome attraction which every woman and child will en- joy.
 Lovers Lane" is probably the best production attempted by the Mabel Paige company during it's stay of sew eral successful weeks in Birmin ham, and it Is a fair representative of the class of performances that company will give from week to week during its indefinite stay at the ajestic.
 The company was letter perfect at both performances yesterday and the entire performance went with smoothness of play that has been or the road for months. Miss Paige was well cast as Mary Larkin, and seemed perfectly at home in the part of the girl from the Students league, and Clarence Chase gave @ very interesting and well played characterization of tHe part of the Rev Thomas Singleton, the leading character. The love story of these two is well worked out and brought to a natural climax. John B. Whitenlan, as the divorced husband, and Edward Lawrence as Uncle Biii-, portrayed their roles in a most &C., ceptable style. Harry B. Castle. Charles ". Ritchie and J. F. Carlton in character parts were good
 As usual Miss Florence Hill was very clever, this time in the part of Sim plicity Johnson, and Miss Oetavia Roma made her part of housekeeper one of the most prominent and pleasing in the play.
 There is matinee Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and a performance every night. -

 At Atlanta Saturday in the speed trials over the new speedway Kerscher clipped off mile after mile at the rate of 53 seconds which Is about as fast as any car has ever gone on the Birmingham track

Chicago, October 25.-In discussing the terms for the fight Johnson said tonight that no terms will be put up from hls side
 We will listen to what Jeffries has to offer" said Johnson, and if his ideas are not unreasonable, 1t will not take ten minutes to fix up the arrangements. We want nothing unreasonable, but a fair fight for both sides.
 There is one thing I am against, and that is any bids for the fight in Australia I will never fight over there again after the treatment l received. The fight must take place either in this country or in England, and I am sure the bidding here viii be stronger than anything Eng land can offer.
 ''As for the time of the battle Jeffries can have his own way I see that he is reported to have said he would be ready in March or April. That suits me and I will be ready for him then or sooner, but. of course, there would be no sense in putting the fight off any longer than that"
