Last Night.


The first of series of excursions by
the Philharmonic Society took place last evening,

arrangements in charge had performed
their duty. This committee consisted of
Mrs. Z. R. True, Mrs. Frank Mid
dleton, Mrs. Winter, Mrs Cliff, and Miss Waring.
Mrs. True, as chairman, was absolutely in COM
mand of the boat. and the experience she gained
as RHth in the 90 Pirates" enabled her to handle
the officers and crew of the Jane Moseley most
effectively. The music by the Marine Band was
all that could be desired, and programme of vo-
cal music embraced the grand chorus from the
Boston Peace Festival, Angel of Peace" and the
chorus The Heavens Are Telling" by the
society. Professor GlOctzncr directing and Pro-

A SUNDAY SCRIMMAGEr
Lively Use of n EanGstarter-A Good DenI
of Beer and - Few Broken Heads.

On Sunday last there was lively Skin
mish ON board the canal boat anchored a mile or
so above the Aqueduct Bridge. This boat is fitted
up a beer saloon and restaurant, and forms
sort of half way house for boating parties visit
ing Little Falls: About three o'clock Sun
day afternoon a boat containing six men
swung alongside the floating BARRON, and
the crew disembarked and proceeded to stow
away liberal allowance of the exhiIarating fluids
dispensed thereon. After getting warmed up a
dispute arose in regard to pointer dog and
the proprietor and his assistant were assaulted by
all six of the boats crew. The peripatetic publ
can proved himself "a very -iovial little man"
in the melee that followed. Aiming himself with
bung- starter he laid about with such hearty
good will thatthe party returned to their boatin hot
haste, thoroughly demoralized. One of the visit
ors received a welt in the jaw that gave his head
a decidedly gibbous appearance. Another had
patch of hair and hide lifted from his Uranium,
and several others were somewhat battered and
bruised. From their personal appearance yester-
day it can be inferred that there are better places
to raise n muss than the canal boat beer saloon.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Award of fhc Kendall and King Scholar
ships-High Averages Attained.

A special meeting of the School Board
was held last evening for the consideration of a
proposition increasing the number ofpupils in the
Normal School from twenty to twenty-five, and
other unfinished business. Mr.. LOyejoy stated that
the increase was necessary, as certain teachers
were now oyertaxcd and should be relieved.
He cited the case of a lady teacher who
taught two halliday schools besides assist
ing in the Normal School, and argued that
humanity dictated that she should not be broken
down by her labors in the schools. The only ad-
ditional expense entailedby the increase would be
the pay for one teacher TO relieve the lady now
teaching Two schools. After short discussion
the proposition was unanimously adopted. Mr.
Lloyd submitted resolution, which was adopted
granting graduating certificates to pupils of the
high school in addition to the certificate granted
them in the eighth grade. The report of the COM
mittee on
