NEARLY S26OO WAS RESULT OF TAG DAY Ladies Pleased With Generous Response of Citizens MOTOR PARADE A FEATURE Over 100 Automobiles Took Part and Attracted Much Attentlon-Many
 Men Were Tagged Numer-
 ous Times.
MOTOR PARADE A FEATURE

The game of tag was never so strenu- ously played, nor the touch so openly and successfully administered, as in Birming- ham yesterday for the benefit of the Boys club. When the tireless ladies who had the matter in charge finished their count ing last night, the money had almost reached s26O0, which is much better than last year, as it does not include MT. Hoadleys donation of s25O which only made last years collection something like $28O0
 The ladies and young girls reached the city at 7:3O o'clock, and took up their stands on the principal corners. Every man was caught as he went down to business, and the game sped merrily on all day.
 At noon many of the girls went into the restaurants for lunch and were given their order free when they said they were working for the Boys club. Hundreds of people were tagged two and three times
 At o'clock the formation of the parade began. Between 100 and 125 cars took part, and, moving st an even speed, with Boys club banners flying, they sped around the city, up and down Highland avenue, and presented quite an inspiring spectacle.
 One feature was the Boys Industrial school band which was given free trans portation in the Birmingham sightseeing car, and they furnished music throughout the parade. The little midget drummer, standing on the step, wielded his sticks with vim, was perhaps the most appro- priate figure in the whole parade.
 The autos included every type from the roadster, the touring car, the electric car, to the little boys machine, only a little larger than a boys express wagon, which kept the pace of the bigger gas- oline machines and attracted much at- tention
 Activities on the streets centered around Rains drug store, where the ladies made headquarters The money was deposited in bank as fast as it came in, and by nightfall practically every man who had ventured forth was wearing one or more of the purchaseable tags.
 The girls around the Brown Marx build ing and the First National bank drew the largest crowds, and handled them with ease, but the Florence corner took the banner for the second time, and Mrs. Barnes Morgan led with a collection of s240.
 Mrs. w. L. Murdock, who had full charge of the collections, and Mrs. W. D. Nesbitt, assisted by all the lady directors, were tireless in their work

MANY VISITORS COMING
 TO BIG MUSIC FESTIVAL

history of the Wednesday club, which gathered into its audience not only music lovers, but the most cultured and fash ionable members of Richmond society,"
 MT. Damrosch and the New York Sym phony orchestra received such an ovation that they must carry away with them an impression that they were greatly appre- ciated by people of this city and members of the Wednesday club.
 In the second programme number, ''The Swan and the Skylark," Goring Thomas cantata, Madame Rider-K Kelsey, Miss Van der veer Reed Miller and Gustaf Holm quist were heard to great advantage. The chorus singing in this number was also fine and the orchestra excelied itself.
 The climax of the evening occurred, however in the fourth number of the pro- gramme, when MT. Holmquist sang 70 Ruddier Than the Cherry from "Acis and Galatea," and Walter Damrosch's s Danny Deever." The hand-clapping was so long continued that MT. Holmquist re- turned several times to bow his acknowl- edgments. Finally he and MT. Damrosch came together, but nothing hushed the dpplduSC Dut oA tiio pAo- gramme, which closed with the ''1allelu- jah Chorus" from Messiah" in which the children did themselves great credit. Mir Scrivenor directed the chorus in its rendition of '-The Sands of Dee," which was sung beautifully.
 Throughout the Wednesday club did ex- cellent work last evening, and the orches- tra and MT. Damrosch left nothing to be desired on the part of the big crowd which was present to hear and enjoy. The matinee was equally as successful.

 The Richmond papers contain glowing accounts of the work of the Damrosch organization in that city The Times-Dis- patch of Friday says:
