which he announced the continued pros
perity Of the association. lie amplifed on
the great benefits to be derived by the pro-
fession at large from these associations,
and called attention TO the duties OF
physician. He then in an able manner
reviewed the obligations of the State to the
people MS viewed from the standpoint Of
the physician and sanitarian. In this con-
nection he specially urged that physiology
and hygiene be taught In our public
| schools, and that school-houses should be
planned and constructed with q view to
sanitation. He discussed the age at which
education should begin, in which he took
strong grounds against sending children 10
school before they attain seven or eight
years OF age, and in support OF his position
| he cited numerous able and accepted au-
thorities. In discussing "The hours to be
devoted TO study" he strongly deprecated
the general custom Of continuing children
in the school-roon too long. He showed
the importance Of proper food for school
children.
The points above mentioned were dis
cussed in minute detail with graat ability.
A resolution was adopted, as follows;
That the secretary be instructed to have
the very able address Of our president pub
lished in pamphlet form and send copy
OF same TO each county superintendent OF
education and members Of teachers asso-
cations Of the State, and that II be also
printed with the proceedings in full OF the

mittees were then received. DIR. L. Sex

The LonIsyiiie meeting.


LOUISVILLE, KY, April IS. There are
now over 500 horses in training in the
south and west and II is not unreasonable
to suppose that a very large proportion OF
them will be brought 10 Louisville, rs the
races here come after the southern meet
ings have been run and before the western
begins. Col. Clark expects 700 or 800
horses TO come, and II his expectation is
realized Louisville will enjoy the distinction
Of having brought together the largest
number Of thoroughbred race horses ever
collected anywhere in the world.
The track has been put In excellent con-
dition. Considering the advanced state Of
racing season is better than ever before,
and for Louisville especially the prospect
Is extremely brilliant
II has been suggested, and approved by
tho club, that the order OF the stake days
shall be as follows
Monday, May i4-Clark stake, for two
yoar-olds, mile and quarter
Tuesday, May 10 liurstbourne stake,
for two-year-old fillies, five furlongs.
"Wednesday, May 10 Champagne stakes,
for NIL ages, mile and sixteenth.
Thursday, May -Alexandcr's stake,
for two-year colts, five furlongs.
Friday, May ls-Mwchants' stake, for
all ages. milo and quarter.
Saturday, May 9-Kcntucky Derby. for
three year-olds, mile and half.
Monday, May 2l-Elmendon stake, for
all ayes, mile and three iurongs.
Tuesday, May 2e-Runnymede stake,
for two car-olds, mile and three quarters.
"Wednesday, May 23-The Kentucky
Oaks, for three ear-old FLIES, mile and a
half.
Thursday. May 24-Kentucky handicap,
for all ages, mile and quarter.
This arrangement may be changed, but
at present il is liked by the club, and un-
lers some unexpected event should pre-
vent, IL will doubtless be adopted M the
spring programme.
