MINNA IRvING's ANCESTORS.
She Resents the Attempt to Give
One of Them Undue Fame.

To the Editor:
monument to the soldiers Of the Revolution
is to be unveiled In rarrytown Oct. 49, and the
names OF four ancestors of mine appear upon the
stone. One. however. that Of 'serst" Isaac
MurtlinE. my great great grandfather. has no
right to be there. He was not a soldier OF the
Revolution but one OF a group OF lounsers in the
village store when Nathaniel undsrhin and his
Tories swoopsd down upon them. Being q portly
man, he was unable to run very fast, and was
pvertaken by Underhill. to whom he cried for
Quarter
you. I'll quarter you" was his reply,
and he literally hacked him to pieces There was
an old teud between the underhills and Murtlnss
and the tragedy is recorded on my great great
graudiather's hesdstone In the old Sleepy Hollow
graveyard. Tarrytowns amateur historians have
evidently confused him with his son, Abram
Murtllng, my at-grandtather, whose name is
on the new monument, who was a veteran OF the
Revolution and the War of 1914 and who re-
ceiYed land warrant from the Government for
his services in the cause OF liberty.
On Monday last served letter on the ESecu-
tive Committee Of the Soldiers Monument. re-
specially demanding that the name OF Isaac
Murtling be erased from the monument before II
IS unveiled unless tho gentlemen OF the Commit
tee can show me historical proof why he should
. he there. - Tar nave received no reply from
which | infer that NJ, D Raymond OF Utica 1.-The
secretary OF the Committee and the man respon-
slble Tor the error understand is unable to cite
his authority. Personally, II does not matter
to NE II the man from Utica should transfer the
cntr- Mur'lins family from tho books OF the
Ola Dutch Church to the monument but az a
matter Of history the error is too serious u be
allowed to pass. and mlslead future historians
who viii consult the monument and consider Il
reliable 1t is matter Of public comment that
the man from Utica has been my bitter enemy

reason Why he failed to interview the last Of the

ANOTHER CUP RACE.

II Is said that Lord Dunraven. the
owner OF Valkyrie. has decided to
build another cutter to compete next
year for the Americas Cup. The new
boat Is to be about the size of
Britannia. but probably trifie longer.
No notice has yet been sent to the
New York Yacht Club, but there is quite
time enough for that.
The report comes on the authority OF a
reliable London sporting paper, The
Field. and 1t 10 to be hoped 1t Is true.
Lord Dunraven Is n spirited yachtsman
and fair, square opponent and he Will
always be welcome here and given every
opportunity to carry the coveted cup back
to Merrie England. But so many attempts
have been made and failed that 1t Is to
be feared the ambition will never be
gratifed. There are many American
yachtsmen. however, who would very
well like to see Lord Dunraven win the
cup and carry It away. In order that we
might have the fun Of bringing 1t back
again next year.
The English would find It as difficult
to keep the cup as they have found It
to reclaim It. Probably one day Eng
land will rub her eyes and wake up to
the fact that she is still quite a re-
spectacle old grandmother In yachting,
but that she Is altogether uehind young
America.
The few drifting matches with limit
less time won by Britannia from
the inexperienced young owners OF
Vigilant this year, may have delayed
the discovery. but II will come at last.
and II is to be feared may put stop TO
the gallant, but vain, efforts 10 win
back the old Americas Cup.

Delicate French Foods.

In France a great many things are put
up in small earthen dishes. named ter
rines. They are rather shallow and
either oval or round. The foie gras that
we get in America comes in these dishes
All sorts OF meats. game and poultry
are put up in terrines. and they are then
termed pate en- terrine. These pates are
really delicious potted meats. Cooked
tripe is cut in small pieces. covered
with a broth and sold in these earthen
dishes. All that Is necessary is to put
the terrine in the oven long enough
to heat the contents, which Is then
ready for the table. In the quarters
where the workingpeople live there are
cook-shops where one can go at certain
hours and purchase hot meats and veg
etables. These are sold in what are
called portions.
