has advised with her as 10 t1e placing
of some OF his earnings, and she is as
happy as the boy that he has shown
good judgment and business intelll-
gence in suggesting whore certain
sums could be invested to good advan-
tage. There Is little reason TO doubt
that his ambition to acquire for
tune by his efforts I'm the saddle will
be realized and realized handsomely.
Scores of boys try every year to be-
come successful Jockeys. Most Of
them fail Why IS IT, then, that Miller
Is q success2 Is it because of his seat
In the saddle, his short stirrups, or
some other typical accessory to the
equipment OF his mount? This ques-
ton has been asked time and again
"com' Welch places little credit in
any Of these details.
Advantage in Method.
Miller says he perchcs himself well
up on a horses neck and rides with
short stirrups because he has a great
cr leverage on the horses head and
can guide him more perfectly
u can feel the temper of the horse
through his mouth when | have stiff
rein on him over his neck said the
jockey III I were to ride in the old
fashioned English seat the horses
head would get away from me, and
the chances are that / would miss
some good opportunities in the race
to gain distance"
II was Tod Sloan who originated
the idea Of riding forward. Possibly
Miller carries II more TO an extreme
than some jockeys, but he is light,
strong and has perfect confidence in
himself.
For two years there has been
great rivalry between Miller and
Radtke. The latter has been less sue
cessful, but is nevertheless considered
TO be one of the best boys who ride
professionally in the United States.
Radtke is of different temperament
than Miller He is a somewhat fiery
little chap and rather self.willed His
sharp replies earned him punishment
in 1906. but this year he has exer
cised better control over himself and
fewer words of caution have had to be
administered to him. He is consid
cred to be very clever in making
a strong finish. Like Miller. he is
possessed of much physical power in
his arms. and when a horse is tirinp
in the last strides of a hard-fought
race, Radtke fairly lifts him along, as
he holds up his head and gives him
encouragement to make the three
or four final leaps that may win q
stake wort. thousands of dollars.
Good Judges Of Pace.
Koerner and Il. Dugan are two
clever lightweights who are skilful in
judging pace and placing their horses
to good advantage in a field of many
starters. Both are able to rate the
speed at which they are moving by
constant association of intervals o

The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-06-23

Square since the hotographer did his work. The old Exchange-so rich in memories and association-has given place to the needs and demands of Montgomery. What a great story the life of that old hotel would be If 1t were adequately written. Toonps. Yancey, Stephens, Davis, these and many others have spoken to the people of Montgomery from the balcony be- tween the fiuted columns shown in the pictupe. The old Exchange hardly less so than the Capitol. is associated with the birth and stormy history of the Confederacy. But this is not the story of the Exchange-now passed from the sight of men, but which has been em- balmed in the history of Alabama and of the South.
 But the Exchange with its fringe of enthusiasts as shown in the picture is to be entrusted with the Exchange of today--a modern steel building with Its dressing of stone and white bricks. Eight stories in height Is the new ho- tel, with appointments and equipments second to none in the South. The 1if- ference between Montgomery of 1890 and Montgomery of 1907 is well illus- trated in the difference between the Exchange Hotel of 1890 and the Ex- change Hotel of 1907.
 Across the street the old Moses Build ing Is seen, not old when the picture was taken and considered for many years the finest building in Montg om- cry In the window the photograph still shows the sign of Moses Broth ,, CTS. Bankers" The structure was the pride of the city and perhaps no man [ had a mind daring enough to look for
 ward to the time when this handsome building would be torn away to make room for a still more impressive struc- ture. No man looked forward to the tearing down of the building because 1t was too small for Montgomery.
 But the time came for this and tr less than seventeen years. The Moses Building is only a memory, like the strife and heat of the campaign oi 1890. On the spot on which II stoou ono of the finest office buildings in the entire South Is now nearing compile
