Mrs. Anne Daily Imagines Sne Is an
Elk, an Eagle and a Mason

Mrs. Anne DAILY. who suffers from the
hallucination that she is an Elk, an
Eagle and a Mason. was declared in
sane by jury in Judge Graham s
court yesterday morning and after a
final examination today at the Deten-
tion Hospital probably will be ordered
confined in the Stockton asylum, where
she has already undergone one course

the paper, but it was discovered
after the confusion of the trial that
the daughters real name is Croydon.
She declared that her husband OF that
name left her eight years ago and that
she took the name of Johnson. Judge
Graham ordered Mrs Johnson to appear

Fernando Nelson Offers Thousand Dollar Cup
for an AUTOMOBILE Race to Los Angeles
By r. r. l'FIornr11edieu

The chances for holding a road race
against time between San Francisco
and Los Angeles grow brighter every
day. The latest incentive to the scheme
mas come from Fernando Nelson, who
now holds the record with his Column
bla He announced yesterday that he
had made a specially designed $1,000
silver challenge cup. The cup will be
exhibited in the automobile show which
opens next Monday at the Coliseum
The cup can be competed for only by
those who live in the State and own
ordinary stock cars. This means that
those who race for 1t must own the
same style of vehicle that Nelson used
in making the record.
1t is to be a, perpetual affair, the win
ner having his name engraved on the
trophy and it's custody for one year
The race will have to be run over the
coast route from this city south.
To hold this event it will require the
permission of the Supervisors of the
different counties through which the
road runs To open these roads for
racing will make 1t possible for all
classes of cars to race south on the
same day. This is what the racing
enthusiasts have desired ever since the
first record was made by the White
steamer. There are many owners who
would like to go after the record, but
do not care to try for it in opposition to
the law. If racing were allowed one
day in the year they would take ad-
vantage of the occasion to put in their
cars. 1t would be better and longer
than the Vanderbilt cup race, for 1t
would be a test of the class of cars
that are sold to the user.
The silver trophy offered by Nelson
stands sixteen inches high and is a
massive affair bearing a thor
oughly automobile design. All the de-
tails of the motor cars have been
worked out on the cup.
The decorations at the Coliseum are
assuming shape that makes it possible
to judge what the effect is going to be.
Several of the enthusiasts went to the
building yesterday and it was their opin-
ion that it exceeds anything in beauty
that has ever been seen at an automo-
bile show. The harmony of color is
subservient to the tones and coloring
OF the cars. With the large number
of electric lights the effect at night
will border on a fairyland scene.
The Office of the secretary of the
show committee has issued the official
list of the cars that will be seen in the
show and by whom they will be eX-
hibited They are as follows:

TRIP VAN WINI<LE" AS
THE PASSION PLAY AT
HIS HOME IN CATSKILLS
Failing Water" Villagers VIII Pre-
sent Production at "Rip's
Rock"

Palenville, n. Y, July 23.-This
beautiful old town of the Catskills
identified by legend with Irving's
Village of Falling Water" abode
of gentle old Rip Van Wrinkle, is
making ready to give her son vel
come home.
Opening at the towns edge lies
Kaaterskill Cove. a natural amphi-
theater of exquisite charm. The back
ground of the wide stage is formed
by the everlasting hills, standing as
they stood on the day when poor old
Rip was driven from his home, and
when his eyes turned to the heights
where he might find solitude and
peace. In the middle foreground
stands Rips Rock" moss-covered
in the cool forest shadows, just as
it stood when the sweet old vaga-
bond, passing with gun and dog on
his wayfaring, met here the dwarf
bearing his keg of sehnapps, that
brought to Rip oblivion for a score
of years. The region Is all unchang-
ed, its every feature preserved with
care by persons of taste and breadth
of fancy who have made homes in
the cove. Here, on the appointed
day, 5000 people will assemble upon
invitation of the Kaaterskill club, to
witness George Ober's impersonation
of the character.
Rips Rock" stands upon the es-
tate of Mrs. Hiland Hill, herself the
leader in this enterprise of senti-
ment. Associated with her are many
score members of the famous club,
which is made up of residents of 4
half-dozen villages clustered close In
this neighborhood of the mountains.
The event promises to be notable In
all ways.
