with White Scholars .-Petition for the
Removal OF the Ia rriers OF Race in the

The Brooklyn Board of Education met yesterday
afternoon, at their rooms in Red Hook lane, Mr..
Whitlock presiding.
The PRESIDENT stated that he had received
petition, signed by 173 residents OF Brooklyn, part
of whom were cOored. 1t complained bitterly
of the exclusion OF colored children from the CON-
mon enjoyment Of the privilege of attending any Of
the pubc schools designating 1t as act Of great
injustice and tending to perpetuate the humilia.
ton and degradation OF the race, and asked for the
Adjustment OF the rule.
made strong speech In favor OF putting the
colored children on an equality with the whites
schools IN the city. The race had been elevated,
and colOred men were now
IN IMPORTANT POSITIONS
in the Church, in Congress- and positions OF trust,
and there was no longer that distinction between
the whites and blacks.
Mr.. GARRET BERGEN cOncurred with Mr.. Libby.
Mr.. HUNTER moved that the matter be referred
to the Attendance and Teachers Committee.
Mr. RHODES said there was negro IN the fence
close these colOred Schools Tor the colored children
If sent to the white schools, would be insulted and
THEIR LITTLE HEADS WOULD BE PUMMELLED
by the white boys.
Mr.. CARROLL moved, as an amendment that these
colOreu schools be ciOSeU, as IL was evident That
some parties were endeavOring to make public
capital out Of them.
ihls was opposed by DR.. SHEPARD who said it
would do to close the doors OF these schools
ana turn the colored children in the streets
He doubted II any of these coored people would
send their children to the other schools. These
schools were now opened to them, but they pre-
ferred to send their children to the colored Schools
showing that they were perfectly well satisfied
He had visited coOred school No. yesterday
morning and found they had larger attendance
than they ever had before Where application had
been made to white schools tney had been admit
ted, and this petition came from member of this
Board whom, he thought, had some object in view.
The schools, in his opinion, should remain as they
were.
Mr.. HENNEssEY said that the men who agitated
this question friends OF the colored people,
and did them great injury If they abolished these
schools. II the skin OF these people was black they
should be proud Oft. 1t was no disgrace and they
should not aeny It.
Mr.. GARRET BERGEN-YOu deny you are an Irish
man and say you are an Americana
Mr.. HENNEssEY (excidedy)-No, sir do not

In the reign OF George I. the foo:man Of q
lady OF quality dreamed that two particular
two tickets on the following day; but they botn
turned up blanks, and he put IN end to his ex-
istocce. Ii his trunk was found q memorandum
to the effect that, when his riches came to him,
he would marry Grace Farmer, that he would
make her wait upon him, aud that he would eat
and drink al dsy long. Toward the end Of
the same reign, 3 mathematician, familiar
with the theory OF probabilities, demonstrated
that, in particular year. the chances were 81 800
to against particular number winning tho
910 600 prize, l., 1853 to against Sc, 600 prize
and to againat obtaining any prize At al.
But al1 such warnings were OF no use. 4
bankers clerk Was one day found rAying mad in
the street; he had bought = ticket bearing =
faTorite number, and was robbed OF it. On the
da5 Of tho drawing OF the lottery that number
were too much for him.
The days OF George III. we're full of odd incl
dents about lucky numbers in the lottery. One
Mr. Barnes, grocer, bought four conaecutire
he exchanged one Of them; but by an annoying
freak Of fortune, the rejected number turned up
920, 600 prize, which fell to the lot Of ono Cap
tain Young. About . fortnight before the
drawing Of one OF tho lotteries, three friends
determined to buy ticket among them; but
be selected, they requested = little girl to de-
eide for them She fixed upon No. 10000,
They did not like it, thinking the number too
obvious, not sufficiently mysterious. She
1efuaed to amend her choice, declaring her con-
viction that tho number would prove lucky
one. Whereupon, setting her down as silly
goose, they bought another ticket; but No.
1000, a. it happened, did turn up prize Of
An odd incident Was connected with lottery
ticket early in the present century. Baron
D'Agui1ar Was requested by friend to purchase
Tor him No: 4,063, which ho felt certain would
prove lucky one. The Baron conld not fulfil
the commission, for ho found th1t this particu-
lar number Was already sold. The number
came up p1ize OF EGO, 600. So
fer there was vexation for Baron
D'Aguilar's friend. On the other hand, the
lucky winner Is draper in CornhilD remained
long time without his money, owing to blum
der Of his own. He had bought ten tickets, and
bud entered their num'ers IN . notebook -
memorandum; but ho wrote 16,U6s, instead Of
Il. o68, and remained long ignorant Of the fact
that that ticket had proved a lucky one.
The owner Of White Conduit House, some
sixty or seventy years ago. lost his all By lotte-
ries, and became Impoverished. Meeting q
friend one day, he said he had presentiment

great prize; money was lent to him to buy: it
