Meeting of the school board.

Notwithstanding the storm, the School
Board met on Monday, though a little later
than usual. A great deal of miscellaneous
business claimed their attention. Repairs
were authorized at number of schoolhouses,
and several delegations were patiently heard
in reference to new houses and changes of
location. 1t was determined that a new
schoolhouse should be opened at Winfield.
the people of the town having agreed to pro-
vide room. 1t was ordered that the schools
be opened on Monday, September It'll, and
that the County Teachers Association meet
on Friday, September 4th. The following
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t appears from their reports that
some of the Carroll county students in the
State Normal School did not, during the last
school year, make such progress as, in the
! judgment of this Board, proper and diligent
use of their time would have insured,
ResoIred,. That hereafter appointments to
scholarships in said school be made for only
one year at a time; and that no appointment
be renewed at the expiration of the year I'M
less the record of the pupil holding the same
during the year be such as to satisfy the Board
that said pupil has shown proper interest
and diligence in the use of it.
| WHEREAS, The schools are nearly all sup
piled with teachers, and there are many more
than enough persons holding certificates to
fill all which may yet be vacant,
ReSolUed, That no more examinations of
teachers be allowed during the present school
year.
Notice was received from st. Johns Col
lege, Annapolis, of vacant scholarship at
that institution due to this county, the bene-
fciary of which will be required to pay into
the College treasury semi-annually in advance,
the sum Of S37 so, which will secure to him
tuition, board room rent, fuel, lights and
washing. The examiner was instructed to
make provision for filling this by the COMPETE
tive examination already ordered for We'd
nesday, August 18th, to fill similar scholar
ship at Western Md. College.

The race advertised to take place on last
Friday, 31st ult., was q success, and drew
quite a large crowd. Many old familiar faces
could be seen in the line along the track,
seemingly enjoying the sport as in the days
of yore. One old gentleman, who has at
tended races here on the old course for sixty
years or more, and who on the day Of the race
was celebrating his 9lst birthday, remarked
that he had never enjoyed race more than
this one. Four horses entered the contest,
and all of them had previously ran here, and
what made the race more doubtful, three had
won races on the old course. Kate, owned
by Samuel Stansbury, has always been ia
vorite here, and all the money bet on her was
put up by the Hampstead boys, and old three
legged Kate, says Uncle John, always true to
her friends, won easy.

Woods, had his friends, who put up their
money and got left. A. p Marsh's Daisy

splendid race, but could only take second
money.
