of the Fiat Automobile Club, advising
him that there will be two Fiat cars
entered in the Vanderbilt Cup Race NJ
Savannah on November q and three
entirely new cars, which are being
built especially, in the Grand Prize
Race at Savannah on November 80.
On August 10, BruCe-BrOWn, win

Savannah, and Caleb Bragg, will sail

stretches which only the French roads
offer for this severe practice, and,
when same is completed, will return
with their cas- and mechanicians -
New York. leaving Immediately for
Savannah to get on the field of action
well in advance.
There bids fair to be the most heat
ed rivalry between the Benz and Fiat
cars. Bruce-Brown won the Grand
Prize in 1910 at Savannah in Benz
car. He beat Hemery in Benz in
a 4OO-mfIe race by less than two sec

ted against one another this time.
HemeTy won the Grand PriX in Par

The Savannah course is being put
in wonderfully fine condition, mas y
turns will be eliminated, and the
races this year promise to be the
most remarkable ever run in the his
tory of road racing. Never before
have two events of this magnitude
been scheduled for one track.

CHAT OF NEWEST
In MILLINERY
Crown Of Exaggerated Height
Its Appearance

New York, August S.-COpricious
fashion is to offer a chapeau with a
soaring crown This hat has a cary
ed line that moulds the head after it
has been rather well built into an
oval by means of specially-dressed
hair. Then the hat crown scars into
heights that are not unbecoming for
the little woman; it is difficult, how
ever, to understand what will become
of the tall one when this high-crown-
ed type of headgear arrives.
The whole of one side of the cree
ton is filled up with an exaggerated
pompOn of white net eXquisitely built
out until it looks like a mass of
snoWfilakes.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that the high crowned variety is to ne
the only wear. The small bonnet IS
close upon us, and was worn to per-
lection the other day at a garden
party by charming young society
matrOn. The bonnet was of fine black
straw, and fitted the head quite af-
ter the style of the poke of our grand,
mothers. Laid fiat round it was a
piece of rare antique lace, and at the
other side stood a bunch of small,
delicate feathers.
Feathers and flowers have been the
only trimming of the season for dress
hats; the young girls wearing roses
the woman of older growth finishing
her hat, or close bonnet, with bunch
es of plumes in the most lovely col
orings. Brushes of plumage have also
been in favor, and the Lancer plume
has, of course, found first considers,
ton. The fact that pieces of delicate
! lace are worn again is very satisfac-
tory, for many women like to collect
lace, and choose every opportunity OF
adding piece to their stock. Flow
ers made of lace, and feathers stimu-
lated in it, are certain Of patronage

II Took Nerves Of Steel, Cool Head
and Steady Eye.
The cathedral at Salisbury, England,
lifts its spire 404 feet. which is quite
a respectable height even in the day
of sKyscrapers This spire is topped
by ball, and on the ball stands
cross. From the ground the ball looks
10 be about the size of an orange, but
in reality it Is greater than a mans
height.
A distinguished American visiting
Salisbury when a very young man had
a curiously weird adventure on this
spire. Workmen were at the time re-
pairing it. The American saw them
crawling round the slim steeple in the
afternoon light like so many bugs on
q bean stalk. The impulse came to him
TO climb the spire and stand on the
horizontal beam of the cross Accord
ingly, late In the afternoon. when the
workmen had gone. the young man
made his way up the stairs to the lit
tie window which opened to the work
mems staging. TO run up the scaffold-
ing TO the ball was easy. Then came
the slightly more difficult climb to the
curve of the ball A short platform
gave him f0othold He reached up
and put his hands on the base of the
cross and pulled himself up. To gain
the crossarm was merely Shining"
up a good sized tree, and soon he
stood on the horizontal timber and.
reaching up. touched the top Of the
cross.
After enjoying his moment OF tri-
umph he slid to the foot of the cross
and with his arms around the post
slipped down over the big bulge of the
I ball His feet touched nothing. The
little plank from which be had reached
up was not there.
Here was n POe-like situation requir
ing a cool head and a steady eye. He
could, of course. not look down. The
cllnging hold that he had to maintain

! less than when he stood on the plank
and reached up to the cross with his
hands. He must drop so that his feet
should reach the plank, for be would
never be able to pull himself back If
! he should let himself down at arms
/ length. and his feet hung over empty
/ air.
But this young American had a good
/ head. which he Immediately put to
work. He looked up at the cross and
tried to recall exactly the angle at
which he had reached for it, to make
his memory tell him just how the edge
Of that square post had appeared. A
few inches to the right or to the left
meant that he would drop into yacan-
cy. Bending his head away back, he
strained his eye up the cross and fig
ured his angle of approach. He eau
tiously wormed himself to the right
! and made up his mind that here di-
rectly under his feet must be the
plank. Then he dropped. And he
lived to tell the tale.

POOR MEMORY
| PROLONGs CASE
AUTO EXAMINATION FOR Ex
cEEDING SPEED LIMIT.
Seems Likely to Take a More Serious
Direction.

The case of the Territory VS.. Luther
Graves, an automobile driver, for ex-
ceeding the speed limit, on trial be-
fore Recorder Thomas, wen- over
until Monday at p. m. to get the in
terested parties into shape to celebrate
the Fourth of July.
When the adjournment was taken,
Burt Hartwell. the boy fourteen years
of age. who was acting as assistant
to Graves when the accident occurred,
was on the stand. On direct exam
ination, he made a good, clear-headed
witness for the defense. but Attorney
p. H Hayes, who claims to have been
present with James O'Malley of the
O'Malley Lumber Co, and others at
the scene at the time of the trouble,
took a hand with City Attorney Pres
colt in the examination, and the case
seemed likely to be SO long that, in
view of the council meeting Friday
evening. the recorder was obliged to
postpone il.
HartweIl's direct evidence was that
the auto was in a damaged condition
as the result of u mountain trip. and
that he and Graves were trying it out
on Second street north to find out what
the matter was when they acciden-
tally approached too near a dangerous
culvert and were obliged to make a
sharp swerve to avoid tipping the car
over. In so doing they ran into horse
bearing a young son of Mr.. oMalley
and a little daughter of w. X. James.
Though thrown from the horse by the
impact. the children escaped unhurt.
but the horse had its thigh broken
and was afterward killed.
Hartwell. asked by Mr.. Hayes If he
had not said to Mr.. Hayes. to Con-
tractor T. 3. Stewart, and to two car
penters. ]. L. Oatman and ]. NJ. Ar
NOR. some very excusing and accus-
ing things about Graves and the man
agement and speed of the car, immedi-
ately after the accident, said he was
so excited that he did not remember
what he had said or done at the time.
Hayes, by his questions, in
timated that he thought this was a
very suspicious and unlikely circum-
stance. and that that line of question:
ing would be gone into on Monday.
There were half a dozen automobile
"OihSA wei tiAC NoiA-
tractors and others referred to by the
prosecution. To outsiders it appeared
that the proper ACTON would have been
one for damages for the killing of the
horse instead of under the ordinance
for exceeding the speed limit.
City Attorney Prescott and =. II.
Hayes represented the prosecution and
B. f. Marks the defense.
