Montgomery August lo.-tSpecial) Alabama has won it's fight to file claim against the estate of the Ten nessee, Alabama and Georgia rail- read for franchise taxes for all years from 1911, an amount totaling about $25.000, and if the federal courts hold that the state has lien for taxes against the property which is now being administered by receiver, the state can collect the amount before the regular creditors obtain anything

Pleasure seekers started treddin6 to Edgewood during the forenoon yesterday, and a morning session at bridge was held. Many brought picnic lunches and enjoyed 8 mid day feast. In the carly afternoon the crowd was augmented by the swimming entry arrivals and water sports devotees. Near nightfall the candy vendors be- gan to unload sweets on the visitors, and at o'clock Wednesday night a record crowd was on hand to enjoy the Big Sisters dance, the Virginia five furnishing the music.
 Swimming, Feature
 The real feature of the daylight test, conducted by Prof. W. w. Abell of the Young Mems Christian associa- ton, and the bathing beauty con test, in which George Ward, Ray Lang and Tom Hamilton acted as judges. Miss Margaret Hall, a pretty visitor from Muscogce, Okla, and a niece of Clark Williams was awarded the bathing beauty prize.
 Competition was spirited in this event, though the girls were bit shy passing before the reviewing stand on the board walk For a time it looked like the committee of judges would split three ways
 T like the little one in the red bathing suit George Ward is quoted as saying. Ray Lang was determined on voting for another and still Tom Hamilton held out for the one. in dark blue. But as Miss Hall tripped by, late entry, they all swerved in her favor and she was pronounced winner by exclamation, or whatever it is they pronounce win ner by.
 Played Bridge
 Up at Mountain View inn morning and afternoon sessions of bridge were enjoyed, and it was stated that ma jority of the tables were filled for greater part of the day.
 Professor Abell and his group or Young Mems Christian association youngsters furnished the real attrac- tion for the afternoon. The swim ming meet was a big success and the aquatic carnival furnished thrills a plenty for the visitors as they lined up in the benches along Neptune beach and seemed to thoroughly en- joy each number.
 One of the most amusing events was the apple bob, in which the wom- en and girl swimmers dived for apples in the big pool Ex-guests of Halo wee'n parties will remember that 1t is an extremely difficult task to catch an apple with ones mouth, when one one is standing on solid footing and when the apple is penned up in a zinc tub. Swimming in the water makes it all the more difficulty, and 1t is a safe estimate that each fair bather swallowed 'steen gallons oi

water in fruitless attempt to get toothhold on the fruit.
 Candle Race
 The candle race also elicited screams from the banks and several rounds of laughter. The idea in this event was for each contestant to light q candle. cross the pool and return to the western end of the beach. Splashing water, stiff breeze and continual exhaling on the part of the winded participants made this feat extremely difficult, and many candles were snuffed out before their bearers had negotiated the half-way mark across the pool.
 Raymond Hill. years of age, and Ed Spencer, swimming instructor at Edgewood park, also entertained and thrilled the crowd with spectacular dives from 50 and S4 foot platforms.
 Winners
 The winners of the different water events follow:
 Twenty five-yard swim for boys under 12. won by Tom Crawford.
 Fifty-yard swim for boys under 16, won by George Dye.

 Fiftyyard swim for girls, won by Cornelius Freeman.
 Diving events won by George Dye
 Candle race, won by Bockmore Swindle.
 ' Potato race, won by Bill Ward
 Underwater race, won by Jack Turner.
 The judges for the water events were Messrs. Canister, Gibson and Wester
 Professor Abell, with megaphone in hand, which he seldom used, due to his natural excessive lung power made big hit by the clever and swift way he operated the swimming programme No sooner was one event over than Professor Abeil had the youthful asparants busy on some thing else.
 Voice Gave Out
 When he reached the bathing beauty event however, Professor Abell had shouted himself to a whis- per, and he couldn't use his oratoracle powers on the shy maidens, who sought to escape to the sheltering walls of the bath house, when bat tery of eyes from the beach turned on 'em. Abell, in civvies, couldn't plunge in the water and round up the shrinking violets, so he had to be con- tent with some 10 or 12 entries in this event.
 The afternoon dance at Dream land pavilion failed to draw capac- ity crowd. The warm afternoon sun came down with too much fervor, and many of the would be terpsichorean artists, after whirl or so across the floor, betoolS themselves to the ebath houses, and later to the cooling con fines of Neptune pool.
 Before 9 o'clock Wednesday night, however, the dance pavilion began to fill, and as the Virginia five cranked up on the first dance number, they were greeted by capacity house. Thus ended the big day, staged by the Big Sisters, for a big cause.
