al In Given Quiet, Dignifed Ob. servance Today- Vice President Schriber Is Sole Survivor of OrigInal Promoters of InstitutionSavings Are Deposited. Today is the sixtieth anniversary of the Old National bank of Oshkosh. It is being observed unostentatiously, with the dignifled reserve and quiet contentment of success in maturity. The birthday flowers are in evidence but have no brighter smiles lines those who spur the slumbering spirit of piothat illuminate the meetings of de men neering in lingering handsakes.

The older folk are paying their respects and extending their congratulations to Charles Schriber, vice presldent of the Old National, who nearly fifty-five years ago cast his lot with the parent of the present pretentious banking house, which in its career has been a potent factor in the financial development of Wisconsin north of here. or the original promoters of this business enterprise, none remains but Mr. Schriber. John Fitzgerald, Ansel and Rufus Kellogg, who were with the bank when Mr. Schriber joined them as a boy bookkeeper from New York seeking his fortune in the far west; Philetus Sawyer, S.

M. Hay and Joseph H. Porter, factors in the later development of the bank- all have gone on before. Moses Hooper is the sole survivor of what Mr. Schriber reverently and affectionately refers to as "the old crowd." He became a director to succeed the late S.

B. Bartlett in 1880 and is still on the board. Mr. Schriber was reminded this morning of an incident that occurred not long since in Milwaukee. At a meeting of the directors of the Wisconsin National bank there, someone remarked that he was the sole survivor of the original directory and as he glanced about the room he was forced to bow his attestation of the statement's truth.

As one of the original organizers of the Manufacturers' National bank of Neenah and the Commercial National bank of Appleton, however, Mr. Schriber still has company with which to discuss the launching of those two banks. Scores of people are participating in the observance of the bank's birthday by opening savings accounts for themselves and others. This is in response to the unique offer of President Edgar P. Sawyer, who is adding one dollar to every savings deposit.

Children in arms are among those who had savings accounts opened for them at the Old National today. The great majority of those who took advantage of this offer, however, are salaried people, many of whom never before had bustness dealing with a bank. The result of the modest starts that are being made in this way during the anniversary period probably would make interesting and profitable reading at the next sixtieth birthday of the Old National. The bank closed at the usual hour this afternoon, 3 o'clock, but behind the massive doors an informal reception to Mr. Schriber and other officers of the bank was in progress.

NO LAUNCHING OR RACE. Bad Weather Causes Postponement of Yachting Program Scheduled for Today, The launching of Kathryn II, the new class A racer of the Lake Butte des Morts Yacht club, did not take place today as was planned. Neither was race over the Oshkosh Yacht club lecture run off, the rainy, squally weather making the launching and the subsequent race impossible. Kathryn II will be slid into the water Monday, in all probability. James Jones, the builder, and the crew of Kathryn, worked yesterday and today to make all ready for the launching, but the waves were nenrly five feet high, rolling onto the slip 80 as to make launching dangerous.

It Was planned to race Kathryn I against Gretchen, Gretchen II, and Menasha today, in her maiden trip. It would have been the maiden race of both Kathryn II and Gretchen II, and the skippers were anxious to have 8 brush. John Buckstaff with Kathryn II. John Sensenbrenner with Gretchen Steve Davis with Menasha, and 8 pick- up crew with Gretchen, the old thirty-five-footer, would have had a good race. But the rain would have been damaging to the sails, and a good sailor will never set out on a rainy day with good sails, unless there is a cup in sight.

Steve Davis, of the Menasha Yacht club, is still undecided whether to enter Menesha or Gretchen I in the regattas this month. The old thirty-five-foot craft beat both Menasba and Kathryn I two weeks ago, and Davis is thinking some of converting the short racer into a new Menasha. Gretchen I was raced under the name of Senorita, of the 0. Y. a part of last year.

H. Smith Will Preach. The union services of Oshkosh churches on Sunday evening will be held at the First Methodist Episcopal church, beginning at 7:30 o'clock. Rev. Edward H.

Smith of the First Congregational church will preach the sermon, his subject being, These union services are being attended by large audiences, and the opportunity they afford for fellowship between the churches participating and their pastors is highly appreciated. It is expected that the preacher on. Sunday evening, August 18, will be Dr. Cynddylan Jones of Wales. Dr.

Jones is to be in the city on that Sunday, and arrangements are being made to secure him to preach at the union service. It is also hoped that Dr. Duff of Bradford, England, who is expected to preach for Rev. Edward H. Smith in the First Congregational church on the first or seeond Sunday in September, will also preach at a union service.

Dr. Duff is one of the greatest Biblical scholars of the day, and a fine preacher. STEPS TAKEN TO APPEAL. Notices Are Filed in Two Instances Result of the Disallowing of Claims. Two notices of appeal to the circuit court from the action of the city council in disallowing claims for damages have been filed with the city clerk.

One appeal is that of Mrs. Anna Martin, who on January 22, 1912, filed a claim against the city for damages for personal injuries which she claimed to have sustained through a fall on an alleged defective and dangerous piece of sidewalk in the vicinity of a pump at the corner of Oregon and Fourteenth streets She fell on January 11, 1912. and irjured herself severely, according to her claim, but the amount of damages she seeks is not set forth in the original claim. Chris Johnson, a contractor, appeals from the disallowance of his claim for $92.46 for remoring old stone curbing on Thirteenth street. His bill for doing this work was disallowed upon recommendation of the city comptroller.
