The race was very close one, but E company's horse got away with it, coming out about two yards ahead The next enter- tainment was the "sack race" for $50, which was amusing in the extreme. J. Buck won first prize-$35; J. Edler, second prize $l5. Nextcame the 'wheelbarrow race, for S20. The entertainers were blindfolded, and started in every direction. J. Edler, the winner of the race, had collision with the ''guidon," on which he peeled his nose pretty thoroughly, and the bruises he re- ceived, he says, will take him day to count Several plays were indulged in, that would chronicle were it not intruding on good nature. In the evening there was social we'll, and everybody enjoyed themselves hugely.

Last year the Trustees of Prescott Public School decided that the School Year should con- sist of three terms of thirteen weeks each. Twenty-six weeks, or two terms of the year, have already been taught; hence next week would be the regular time for vacation. Work. men will soon be putting up the new school building, which will make it unpleasant, if not dangerous, for the children to attend school. For this reason, the Trustees and Supt. Cartier have concluded to have no vacation now, but make the SHmmer vacation longer. The chi dren seem pleased with this plan as ali voted in favor of no vacation now, and long ono in the the Summer.
