The English yacht Sultana, whose arrival at this
port has already been noticed in the HERALD. was
visited yesterday at her moorings or the Elysian
Fields, at HOboken by several members Of the New
York yachting fraternity On account Of the absence
Of the owner, who is stopping at the Everett House,
the visitors merely made a cursory examination Of
the vessel and left. The crew during the day were
engaged in the usual routine duties Of sailors when
in misunderstanding their vessel and putting every
thing in 'ship shape" as 1t is nautically termed.

markable game. The score given below will show
how the game must have ''seesawed ~ and from tho
well known characteristics OF ball payers and their
friends II may be adudged that the prevailing

the veins strongysenough to thaw OF, ANY chliness
which the wind and weather might induce. New
York was not fully represented, and at the eleventh

WANT OF INTEREST IN OUR SCHOOLs-The
New \ oTk Sun calls attention 10 the indiffer-
ence, there, OF individual citizens to the public
school system a one of the greatest obstacles
10 its successful management. There is an ut
ter lack of sincere interest in the matter, and
the number OF persons who are willing to give
any attention 10 the schools is very small. Ii
II difficult 10 get leading citizens 10 fill the
place Of school officers. There are even prom
nj men who have taken a strong interest IN
educational questions, who yet have never
visited the schools; and a for the parents of
the scholars, not one in twenty pays the least
attention to them. What the San saws of New
Crk, Is almost equally true in regard to Wash
RgtOn- and while the people as a whole are
proud Of cur system of public schools and sin
CtTely anxious that they shall maintain a high
rank very few interest themselves personally
in looking after their welfare. This is wrong.
Our society, from its nature. demands a great
al al of public spirit in our citizens and unless
this II shown, institutions like our school sy.-
