rapt attention to the speakers.
over 100 Registered Yesterday
The delegates besan registering yery
early yesterday morning and by noo.l
there had been well over 100 registered
and received their badges During tho
afternoon many more came in and by he
time the registrations close today 1t is
believed that we'll over 1000 badges will
have been given out. The registration this
year was handled much more efficiently
than ever before. There was no crowding
and no delay. Plenty of help had been
acquired and as fast as the delegates
could form line and pass before the
clerks they were given their badges, Gre
dentials, coupons, books, rebate books and
all necessary credentials.
At the barbecue at East Lake between
2500 and 5000 people were fed between 12
and o'clock. 1t was the largest barbe-
cue, 1t is said, ever held in Birmingham.
The crowd was let into the big pavilion ill
separate squads, filling 1t completely full
twice and with good sprinklng left over
for the third time the doors were opened.
There was plenty of food, excellently pre-
pared, and served, and it was feast neve,
to be forgotten. Fred jackson and his
committee had preparations complete and
received many congratulations on the sue
cess of the affair
A feature of the barbecue was an i'm
promptu dance after the last crowd had
been served. heavy rain storm came
up and caught the diners with their heal
completed and nothing to do. The upper
end of the big pavilion was cleared of ta-
bles and benches, the band was stationed
close by and as the rain drops pattered
on the roof many toes pattered across the
floor to the tunes of lively music AS the
crowd was rather backward at first
Harry Jones broke the ice and led the
opening dance with Miss Electa Porter as
his partner. Mr.. Jones and Miss Porter
gave an exhibition of the light fantastic
art that gripped the crowd with admira-
ton. Both are far from amateurs on the
dancing floor and their performance
aroused such enthusiasm that other
couples hastened forward and the dance
continued until the rain stopped
A large part of the delegates stayed at
the park yesterday afternoon and enjoyed
the many amusements there all of which
were free to those wearing A. M. A.
badges. Others came back to town and
