BEST SHOW IN TOWN IS EXTRAVAGANZA AT THE OLD DUTCH MILL The snappiest, cleanest and most interesting show in Atlanta to-day is that at the Dutch Mill, is the verdict of the hundreds who have witnessed th© perfor mance of “Hollo, Bill,” this week. The chorus especially is good, the costumes being new, bright and catchy, while there is not 3 prettier bunch of show girls to be found. They can sing and dance, and are as graceful as can be.

They will arrive Saturday PITTSBURG, Dec. 18 That the Fleischmanns, who control the major portion of the stock of the Cincinnati National League club, and who, in the past, have dictated the policy of the team’s management, are disgusted with the odium that has fallen on the club of lute, was indicated by a communication received here to-day from Horace Fo gel. the former National League mag nate. Inthis letter, sent to a prominent base- an here, Fogel de< lares that the Fleischmanns are anxious to dispose of their holdings in the Cincinnati club. In part Fogel says: “As a result of Herrmann’s actions as to Tinker, I have been commissioned by Max Fleischmann to try to persuade ‘Jeff Livingston to purchase their con trolling interest In the Cincinnati team. In the event of Livingston purchasing the Fleischmann interest I would cer tainly again have something to say in oiganized baseball circles.” Men Crave Their Beauty And in Atlanta’s Cravat Displays you were never treated to a finer show than this season's exhibit.
