Joe Smith, manager of Louis Bo- gash. received a letter from Kid Pershing of North Adams, offering to fight Bogash in Bridgeport for the New England title.

Large Audience Expected to Greet WorId-FamouS Violin
 iSt Wednesday

Tomorrow morning at o'clock the seat
 sale for the Fritz Kreisler concert will
 begin at the Jefferson A large audience
 is expected to greet the greatest living
 vioiinist of the day when he plays here
 on Wednesday evening under the aus
 pices of the "An-Star Cohcerts."
 Great enthusiasm prevails among mu-
 sic lovers over the coming of Fritz
 Kreisler and among the many express
 sions regarding his playing and his con-
 cert, the following are of interest: 'T have never been so thrilled in my
 life as 1 was when listening to Kreisler play in New York this season." said Mrs. Russell Hunt. The. New York people are certainly mad about him. I
 understand that he doesn't know what it is to play there to an empty seat, even
 on the stage. Added to the regular seats also, always every inch of stand ing room is taken. You can understand all this, ,too,s when you hear him play" 'Kreisler's art belongs to the world, said Jacob Bloom. "He stands today not only supreme in the art of violin playing, but he is one of the worlds best composers, and surely the world s greatest violinist.''
 'I have not missed one of the All Star Concerts nor shall L. said MT.

 The Kreisler concert will be an un- riNa1nd event n tho world musical of Birmingham said Jean Johnson. "He is the violinist supreme, an artist of first rank in playing, interpretation and in composition. Another rich treat awaits the Birmingham people when Kreisler plays here on January g."
 Gen. Louis V. Clark, in speaking of the Kreisler engagement. said:
 "I am not cultivated musician. that is, I haven't been educated in music but Fritz Kreisler thrills me as no other player, or for that matter, musician either of voice or instrument. l have heard him both in Boston at a music. hall and in New York. and I am speak ing from the standpoint of the uneducat ed when I say that there is not one
 moment of his concert when one is not enteretained and thrilled beyond words.

The many negro tenants of Colonel Ashford participated in the occasion and the scene brought to mind vividly the ante-bellum days, when "hog killing was day of great rejoicing, especially among the negroes, for it meant to them an abundance of chitterlings, hog jowl haslets, souse. pig tails and other delca- cacies dear to the darky's heart.
 Of especial interest in the above pie turei is the well on the right. It is known as the we'll that never goes dry" It is also of historic interest, for it has been there for many, many years. and in the days before the advent of the railroads it was a favorite waterins place for the travellers along the old Montgomery, Decatur and Huntsville stagecoach highway. In the dryest sea- son the water is still abundant, and Tt this day and time is hauled away in bar els by those whose water supply has given out.
 On the evening of the above occasion Colonel Ashford entertained a number Sf guests at dinner, and the colonel is never

happier than when entertaining this friends, when the choicest portions cf the meat with "trimmings' were served in true southern style. After the dinner the party gathered around the huge fire place, where, with no other light than the firelight glow, the old, 'big house mamfny told old-time ghost and other stories.
 In naming ais country home "The Plan tation" Colonel Ashford made happy choice, for it is all the name implies. Surrounded hy POGO acres of well-culti- vated and forest land, the house itself, built long before the Civr war, now combines the elegancies of the colonial mansion with the conveniences of the modern residence, for Colonel Ashford has installed every modern appliance that would make for comfort and con venience.
 It is an ideal place for an ideal host, and Colonel Ashford is that kind of a host, as the many friends who have en- joyed his bounteous hospitality can tes- tify
