MEMORIAL FEATURE
LETTER ABOUT SOLDIERS HOME IS ISSOED.
Captain Falkner Proposes to Preserve List of Members of Alabama
 Camps of Veterans-More Logs Provided.

As Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means and the Building Committee of the Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek Captain J. M. Falkner yesterday issued a circular letter to Confederate Veterans camps concerning the memorial feature of the Home.
 The circular letter Is as follows:
 Montgomery, Ala, August 8. 1908. To the Various Camps of Confederate Veterans of the State of Alabama:
 T desire to call your special attention to the memorial feature of the headauar- ter building at the Soldiers Home, and enlist your cooperation therein.
 ''The lower floor of this magnificent building is constructed entirely Of pine logs. which have been sawed on three sides the other side being round, and be- ing the only one exposed to view.
 When any one sends me $lO and the name of some old Confederate veteran. whom 1t Is desired to memorialize, we have arranged to put the name of such veteran on the round, or outside of the log in metallic letters, or with a metallic plate. and we then record the biograp pby Of such veteran in a large record book. which will be forever kept in the library Of the home. The biography should con sist ot from three to five pages of such books as are usually kept in the offices Of the Probate Judges in this State In this way we already have about 375 names of veterans whose names will appear on the logs.
 There are 15 logs that yet remain to be taken. and I desire to suggest one other memorial feature, which will in course of time become priceless. If your camp will at once take one or more logs in the name of some worthy Confeder- ate soldier, either living or dead, we will not only put the name of such soldier upon one of the logs, and record his biog- raphy in the record book, but if YOU will send list of the names of the members of your camp. showing the company, reg iment command, etc, Of each member thereof, we will have 1t recorded In the Tecord book. and in this way we will pre- serve history. which in the years to come will be treasured by our descendants as being absolutely invaluable.
 Besides all of this. this money which could be so easily raised by the several camps will be of very material help in finishing up one of the handsomest build ings that has ever been erected anywhere and will be monument to the old sol- diers of this State.
 The building is nearing completion, and 1t is important that whatever is done in this matter should be done promptly, and 1t Is hoped that every camp in the State will avail itself of this opportunity to have a complOte roll of its membership recorded in this memorial book
 we hope as soon as the book Is com pleteA to have second book made and kept in the Department of Archives and History at the State Capitol.
 Address all communications to J. M Falkner Chairman Committee on Ways and Means. Montgomery, Alabama
 Yours truly.

THE LUCKIEsT MAN.
Peter Johnson, Who Used His Hat as
 Safe Deposit Vault.

Some one is wearing a $10O hat around the streets Of Minneapolis
 It is an old one, and the wearer does not know it's real value, but should he happen to raise the inside band, he will find carefully tucked away, five twenty dollar bills.
 Peter Johnson, POI Hennepin aye nue,e,is the sorrowing owner. He had been intending for some time to depos- it the money in the bank. but being suspicious of footpads and hold-up art ists, temporarily concealed the cur rency under the band of his hat
 When he went into St James lunch rooms yesterday noon he hung his hat on hook and proceeded to forget aiI about it, while he remembered the in- ner man. After his meal was over and he looked for his headpiece in place of his hat was another. a battered and worn affair, which hung on the hook next to the one on which his had been i suspended.
 A vigorous search under the band re- l vealed nothing but the manufacturer s trade mark and a more vigorous search | through out the room failed to reveal the hat in question. Consequently the | as Johnson could give little informa- ton as to those who sat near him at the lunch counter, but slight hopes of finding it are entertained. I It is thought that the hat was taken by mistake. and Johnson is engaged in l figuring out the probability of the find CT being an honest man.
 From the St Paul Dispatch, next | Inf a Ss erai Tnhy son has recovered his hat
 He was eating dinner in the same restaurant yesterday. when man ca me in and hung his hat, up. Johnson thought the hat looked very much like his, and Jumped up to inspect it. There he found the money still safely hidden in the band.
 The man who had been wearing the hat was immensely surprised when shown the 'wad" He had read of Johnson's loss. but never imagined that he was wearing the hat worth ] $100. Minneapolis Tribune.

fast miles in. his training at the beach track. Champion has two big races to ride this week. and they are both against the southerner. One is. at Providence on Wednesday night, in- medfately at the close of which both men will go to Revere to finish their preliminary work. WaIthotr says that he will show the Frenchman that he is not so easy a proposition as Champion thinks, and promises that the Saturday night contest will be tlip fastest ever ridden on the beach track.
 Champion rode all around Walthour at the coliseum at Prividence, R. l., last night, and was two miles and one lap ahead at the finish He covered the 20 miles in 25:51 4-5. reducing the local track record of 26:37 3-5, made by Walthour. The latter was obliged to use second motor. but the victory was decisive from the start Hollis ter of Springfield won the 1O-naile open. and the one-rlile handicap for Rhode Island riders was won by Keigley of Providence.

HOW RELIANCE WAS CHOSEN.

W nne no one was very much sur prlsed when the committee on chal- lenge of the New York Yacht club sc- iected the new Herreshoff cup candi- date, Reliance, as the American de- fender to meet Sir Thomas Lipton'x challenger, Shamrock III, in the final cup races which begin on August % off Sandy Hook, yachtsnaen were rath- CT astonished at the informal way In which the selection was made For months it had been announced and heralded far and wide by the officials of the New York Yacht club that series of trial races to select defender of the America's cup would be held off
 Newport towards the end of July, and while of course the performances of the yachts in the earlier races would be taken into consideration. 1t was their final work in the actual trial races after they had been thoroughly tuned up which would count in the final se- lection
 This was eminently proper, as the
 new yacht, Reliance. might not have
 been at her best in the earlier races, and it would have been rnanifestly un- fair to take snap Judgment on the nner- Its of an untried boat in her first sea- son without giving her owners and de sisner chance to get her into the best possible condition. So, in view Of all these facts and the repeated statements and circulars from the officials of the New York Yacht club of the ifnpor- tance, of these trial races, 1t certainly seemed strange that after one none too satisfactory trial in which the old Go lun1bia actually beat the Reliance by six seconds in the fifteen mile thrash to windward. that the challenge com. mittee should decide off hand that any further trials were unnecessary.
 ' The true reason for this sudden shift of the committees original plans could probably be traced to the Wall street situation as no sooner did the reports of the sudden squalls in the financial district reach the yachtsmen at Vine yard Haven than the fleet did not wait i for any formal disbandment of the squadron. but they took mp anchox and flew to the westward as fast as their steam yachts could carry them, leav- ing only about five, members of the committee to look after the trial races and the selection of the new defender. They evidently, with one accord, said one to another:
 What is, the use of our wasting our time by holding any more races? The
 Reliance is the best all-around boat no
 matter how many races are sailed: we will have to select her in the end. However, after all is said and done. there is no question but that the Reli- ance is the best all round boat. but how
 much Improvement she is on the Con- stitution and Columbia Is a hard mat ter to say as handling plays such an important part in all yacht races. This year, as every one knows, Charlie Barr
 sailed the Reliance, and his presence on the new boat won her many races \ that she might have lost in the hands of less experienced skipper. As for the Columbia. the poor old defender
 which has twice saved the cup. was
 simply butchered in the hands of E. b. Morgan. who, while splendid sportsman and perfect type of tue American gentleman, is only third rate amateur yachtsman. Duncan Curry in the Illustrated Sporting News
