there were eight OF them in big

The plan worked like charm;

COURTNEY SHOWS
LOTS OF GAMENESS
Cornells "Old Man. Disproving
Charge That He Lacked
Sand in Old DAYS.

The fight which Charles f. Courtney
is making for his life in the City Hos
Lital at Ithaca, y. Y, is disprov'ng the
tradition that the cold Man" as Court
rev has been known to two generations
of Cornell men. is not lacking in sand
as has been so often charged since an
incident dating back to the days when
Courtney was a professional sculier.
Courtney was alleged to have avoid
cd meeting Ned Hanlan, then in the
hcydey Of his glory, and the story that
lie cut his boat in two on the eve of
the race stuck to Courtney no matter
how hard he tried to disprove it. That
story has been the cause of much sOr-
row to the "Old Man" but his present
sickness must be taken by those who
have professor to believe it as a refu-
tation of the rumor.
Courtney on June 10 suffered a tract
ure at the base Of the skull and not a
soul knew about it, not even a doctor,
until the night of June %, after the
varsity race in the Poughkecpsie re-
gatta had been rowed and won by the
Cornell crew. Then il was that Court
ney collapsed. and il was discovered
that for ifteen days he had borne in
tense pain without word.
Those whe were with Courtney in
the Cornell training quarters at Pough-
keepsle say that he was the hearty,
genial soul he always was. His eye was
clear, his grip firm and mis- whole bear
ing seemed to indicate that he was in
the best of health. All this was pose,
done to deceive his "boys" and to keep
them from getting downcast on the eve
Of the big race. Better to sacrifice
myself than the boys seems to have
been COurtney's theory.
The last reports from Ithaca indi-
cate that The "Old Man" is slowly re-
covering, but Cornell men fear that he
will never be seen again in command
of Cornell crew, something that has
been a part of Courtncy's life for

WILL DRAW DOG LEADERS
Atlantic City Show List Is
Strong in Specials.

Premium lists for the dog show of
the Atlantic City Kennel Club, to be
held on Young's Million Dollar Pier
on Saturday, August :, have been sent
out. While a ribbon show through
the 773 classes there is a generous ar
ray of specials that give a monetary
value to the winners in nearly every
breed.
A good entry and spirited competi-
tons are assured, and as an inducement
on the side is the pleasure of visiting
the famous seaside resort at the height
of the season. All entries close on
Monday, July &c, with George F. Foley,
Lansdowne, Penn, superintendent Of
the show.
The unclassfed specials include the
presidents cup. from J. B. Hayes, jr.,
for the best dog or bitch at the show;
Joseph A. Buchanan's trophy, for the
best of the opposite sex; c. o. Mont
gomery's cup, for the best brace en-
tered in the regular brace classes, and
the Kensington Kennel Clubs cups, for
the best sporting and the best nom
sporting dog or bitch.
Additional special prizes to increase
those in the list are arriving in every
mail. according to Mr.. Foley. Among
them are five specials for the big dogs
and the unusual offer of twenty-five
for toy poodles, enough to give each
. exhibitor trophies to burn"
After a long absence from the cir
cult the Chatham fair will nave a dog
show in connection with the Columbia
agricultural fixture, to be held at
Chatham, n. Y, September S. which
unfortunately clashes with Toronto.
c. G.. Hopton will be the "all-rounder,'
a position he filled 1t the last fair, held
in 1903.
Among the most pleasing victories
at Southampton, which appealed espe-
cially to American breeders, were those
of the Pekingese owned by Mrs. Ger
trude L. Hayward, of New York, who
won in a very good PUPPY class with
her homebred Wuf- WufF Of Esterro;
in the American bred class with Man
chu Prince Ching. and took the trophy
and several specials for best American
bred with Wuf- Wuff, which was some
what lucky in beating the more ma
tured Manchu Prince Ching.

GREAT STRIDES MADE
HERE IN LAST TWO YEARS

Birmingham has made great strides
in the preparation and display of adver-
Using matter in the newspapers within
the past two years. There are some eX-
ceedngly bright ad writer's in this city
and The Age-Herald has printed within
the past year some very attractive and
profitable advertisements.
ITO encourage the ad writers of Bir-
mingham is the object of this convention
>and the object of The Age-Herald in
presenting to the ad writers of Birming
ham this pianola.
1.-The convention form was adopted be-
cause the primary plan would not prove
practical under the circumstances. The
convention form was likewise adopted
for the purpose of giving all the ladies
and gentlemen an opportunity to talk
the matter over and to present their re-
spective claims and the claims of their
friends.
II have observed some clever forms of
advertising in The Age-Herald recently
but none so clever as one I read in last
Sundays issue of The Age-Herald. 1t
was the advertisement of handsome
young bachelor friend of ours. He is
engaged in the automobile business, and
has sold many good automobiles to his
profit. Appearing to write an advertise
ment to encourage the automobile bust
ness I deeply suspect him of a more
sinister and decidedly less profitable mo-
tive. He adyertises that only the ladies
would be interested and calls upon all
the ladies of Birmingham to visit his
automobile establishment and learn how
to run an automobile. He proposes that
they shall be taught by an expert in
structor with the latest model machine
absolutely free. He then adds line:
There is no catch or effort to fool
anyone
yet after church last Sunday the first
remark heard from an attractive young
woman was:
That's cute schemesof Don Dren-
mems to look all the girls oyer and Sc
lect himself wife
ct am sure we all wish him success in
his modern, if not to say modest, effort of
advertising
"As this meeting has been called for
the purpose of selecting an individual to
receive this pianola, based uopn his
| merits as an ad writer, and as this con-
vention is to select the person to receive
it, move that Mr.. Sydney J. Bowie be
called to the chair to act as temporary
chairman for the organization of this
convention. When the convention is or
ganized it may select him as permanent
chairman or not, it sees fit. The dele
gates must rule.
'In order to bring about organization,
