How andrew Jonhsor Learned.

In Harper's for January are publish
ed some personal recollections of An
drew Johnson which give new and
most interesting account of this unique
" remarkable man who rose in few
years from a tailor's bench to the Pres
idency. His pride in aving Teen tai
lor and his free admission of illiteTacy
are particularly interesting.
"About year before the Civil War
Judge Pepper, who had been black
smith before he became q lawyer, sent
Johnson set of fire.irons, which he
had made himself, says the writer OF
the recollections, and h Governor
presently sent the Judge q coat which
he had made for him. When he told
my mother of the incident she said:
"'Did you really make the coat, Gov
ernor?' A-'- ssT
"sI put some stitches in it, he said;
.Pepper shouldn't get ahe ad of me with
the people. When was tailor was
a good one
"He refused an invitation once to dine
with A. V. Brown, leader ofthe Dem
ocratic party In Tennessee and after
ward Buchanan's Postmaster General,
although all of the guests were to be
fellow Democrats, he let them know
that on that day he had diLed with his
| washer-woman, off bacon and cabbage.
| HE made no secret of his unlettered
youth, and once brought my mother
magazine containing q sketch OF his
life, in which it was stated that his wife,
Flora McCardle, had taught him to read
after they were married, when he was
Itwentyone years Of age. He said the
statement was inaccurate but substanti-
ally true; that when they married his
| wife brought her school books to their
new home, and his study of them aided
his education materially. After he rose
to prominence his admirers used to
point out that he made few mistakes in
grammar and that his English was pure,
but he never learned to divide his words
4 correctly in writing, and sometimes
made iudicrous mistakes in quotations.
II Once in public speech he spoke of the
Il Lays of Ancient Rome as having been
/ translated in Maca,,lay; and in another
! speech he quoted:

named and Walter Hempel has been
engaged by the management to man
age the show.
There are $500 square feet in the
auditorium which can be used for
show purposes, and more than half of
it has already been subscribed, and
it is likely that reservations for the
entire space will be made by NoVem-
Der is. 4 successful exposition of
motor cars and accessories is assured,
and the committees are hard at work
in their respective fields and decora-

MANAGERS EXPECT
OLDFIELD IN RACE
Walter Hempel Promised a Large
List of Entries for Meeting
at the Motordrome
COURSE FASTEST IN WORLD
Improvement of Track May En-
able Riders to Annex a
Number of Records
COURSE FASTEST IN WORLD

Manager Walter Hempel is prom
ised a full list OF local entries and
with the addition of the eastern stars
who will arrive by the end of the
week a great speed carnival on the
Motordrome, which is the 1astest
American speedway, is assured. Chair
man Butler of the contest board of the
American Automobile association wired
yesterday that Oldfeld's application
for reinstatement would be considered
by his board as soon as the members
could meet after November 10 and
Hempel believes that the embargo may
be removed in time for him 10 compete
in the November meet.
Louis Strang expects TO leave Ior
this city tomorrow. Several entries
are expected from the Grand PriX cars
at Savannah. These features should
add a g-,at deal Of interest to the Mo-
tordrome events.
Colonel Fenner is hot on the trail of
a competent driver to pilot his lsotta
racer The colonel could not remain
out of the racing game and his return
will be hailed with delight by all low
ers of this sensational sport 1t Is
hoped that local drivers will be en-
tered to meet the pick Of the east.
SKILLED LOS ANGELES MEN
The Los Angeles cars and drivers
proved last April that they were well
able to hold their own with the best
on earth, as many of the records made
in last April's MotordrOme meet were
credited to Los Angeles drivers. Mix
rent, who drove Buick 40, will this
year be at the wheel Of a siX-cylinder
Knox giant, a duplicate of Oldfeld's
fast stock car. Nick is confident of
annexing several records and his share
of the prize money.
What makes an important feature of
the Motordrome meet is the arrange
ment of the program into events for
all classes of cars according to piston
displacement. The feature event will
be a two-hour race with $3.50 in cash,
divided into five prizes, a valuable
trophy and in addition trophies to the
cars scoring the greatest mileage in
the various piston displacement di-
visions. This gives the small cars
chance to win in their own classes, ir-
respective of position in the race
proper. This is proving very popular
to the dealers in lower powered cars,
as they will have the same opportunity
to compete as the larger cars. The
cash prizes aggregate close to $4,000 and
many valuable trophies.
One of the handsomest trophies ever
seen in Los Angeles is the first prize
in the two-hour race. This is in addi-
tion to the cash prizes. The Los An
geles- Pacific challenge trophy stands
thirty inches high, is Of solid silver
and will go to the winner of the prin-
cipal event in each fall and spring
meet given on the Los Angeles Mo
tordrome. This trophy cost $3.50 and
is well worth striving for. The car

which wins it three times secures per-
manent possession.
IMPROVEMENTS AT MOTORDRoME
Next week large force Of men will
make several important improvements
at the Motordrome. These will include
an extension of the approach in front
of the repair pits, enabling a car leav-
ing the control to gradually run upon
the track proper instead of first using
the inner dirt track. This was a sug-
gestion made by Chairman Butler Of
the contest board last spring.
As an illustration of the great speed
Of the Motordrome, the recent meet
on the Atlanta speedway did not result
in a single broken Los Angeles rec
ord The fastest mile was Caleb
Bragg's in IL seconds. This against
his own mile of 81 seconds upon the
Motordrome and sc seconds by Old
field.
Manager Hempel expects several
worlds records to be added to the
long string of Los Angeles marks, es-
pecial1y in the % miles free-for-all.
The present record held by Aitken in
a National at Indianapolis is at an
average speed of 80 seconds per mile,
and as every high powered stock car
averaged around 45 seconds last spring
new marks should result.
