It Is stated by the promoters of the Richmond Chautauqua that the propo
sition which has been discussed In
former years relative to purchasing
the Hawkins grounds north of the Glen, and holding the Chautauqua there in the future is by no means a
dead letter. The advisability of such action will be thoroughly discussed gain this year. It is said and It Is probable that some definite action will be taken in the matter by the
directors.
A beautiful; chavtauq.ua grounds could be made . If the Hawkins land were purchasedaccording to the opin
ion of those most Interested In the matter. It la said that by the erection of a large dam at a nominal sum, at Seventeenth street, a lake of 75 to 100 acres could be made which would afford ample swimming and boating facilities for the campers. It is asserted that practically everyone from out of the cttjr who visits the present Chautauqua grounds agree that it is a beautiful place but comment upon the fact that there Is no lake on the grounds. This is the only objectionable feature, it is said, otherwise the location Is Ideal. , Would Eliminate City. The Hawkins :, grounds have been Visited by several local persons and others from out of the city; who are Interested In the proposition with the view ' of forming a corporation and buying the land for the purpose mentioned. By this arrangement the city would hold no share In the chautauqua and therefore would receive no part of the gate receipts. With a little time and expense, it is declared that the Hawkins grounds could be made in to a far more attractive place for holding the chautauqua than the present, location In Glen Miller. There is good spring water, the proposed grounds are amply large enough and with the addition of the
lake, which will be a great attraction, it is believed the chautauqua would
be a greater success even than it is
at present. Y. M. C. A. Manages.
The chautauqua this year Is being
conducted by the Y. M. C. A. and half of the proceeds which in former years
was given to James S. Shaw for .man
aging the affair, will be turned over
to that .Institution this season. This
new manegement has proved Its capability by the excellent program it
has secured for this year. Business
men of the city generally have sign!
fled their willingness to help in the enterprise and hift-e been untiring In their efforts to do all that is possible for the betterment of the chautauqua although they have received no recompense whatever. The organisation for 1909 Is as follows: Directors Richard Sedgwick, president; J. P. Davenport, vice president; Geo. Goodwin, secretary; C. H. Kramer, treasurer; Charles W. Jordan, Edward Thompson.

NEW SUPPLIES ORDERED
The most popular thing in Rich
mond nowadays is the bank that has a
supply of the new Lincoln pennies.
The coin arrived about a week ago.
and the people of the city are divided in two groups, the few that have them and the many that haven't. Banks
have orderd a new supply from Phila
delphia, but the orders are being re
ceived at such a rapid rate there that only one shipment and a small one at
that, is being made to banks.
The Lincoln 1-cent piece was minted
under a special act of congress to com
memorate the Lincoln centernary. it
is of the same size and material as the
ordinary Indian head, but of attractive
design. The head of Lincoln with "lib
erty" and "1909" at either side, and
"In God We Trust" at the top,' graces
one side of the coin, and "one cent,"
with two heads of wheat, the words
"United States of America" and "E
Pulrlbus Unum" are on the other.
While this is the only marking of
the circulated coin, there is a coin
which will become valuable because recalled, which bore, besides, on the
reverse side of the coin, the Initials, "V. D. B.," of the man who designed the coin. This coin for some reason.
would not stack evenly ad it was re
called. Thus it will go down in the collection of the coin fancier along wtlh the famous ten dollar gold piece whose "Liberty" had housemaid's knee and other deformities, and which was recalled because it would not
stack.
A few enterprising newsboys and others came into possession of the
now recalled coin, and made small for
tunes, selling them for 5, 10 and 25
cents apiece. But such small sums will not buy them now, for the supply
is gone.
The coin in circulation is a novelty, not only in the beauty of its design, but also because un milled. It will, however, live through the fad of novelty, and disappear, bankers say, along with the once popular Columbian half
dollar and quarter. But just now it
is the stylish thing.
USED FLAG AS MOP
Boston, Mass., Aug. 17. The Lynn police are investigating a case of des
ecration of the American flag which was discovered when the flag was found In the boiler room of the Cross-
man building on Central street, Lynn, tied to a mop handle. It was wet.
torn and dirty, and evidently had been
used as a mop to clean the floors in
the building.
The discovery was made by James
Quiim and John Larkin while they
were engaged in work of demolishing
the building, which not long ago was
badly damaged by fire. Quinn and Larkin turned the flag over to William
Abbott, engineer at Wyman's restaur
ant, on Washington street. Lynn, an
Indian fighter of years ago.
Abbott took posesslon of the flag
and notified Congressman Roberts, who referred him to the United States
marshal at Boston. The latter turned
the case over to the Lynn police, who
are now working on It.
The building is owned by George A.
Crossman. Both he and the man who had charge of the boiler room denied
any knowledge of the flag being there. The flag was one which had once been used to. decc ate one of the rooms of the building. Judging from
its delapidated appearance, it had
been used as a mop for some time.
