Gallagher Muldoon and Dewitt. Director
Muldoon asked to be excused as he had been
appointed one of the judges in the HERALD's
teachers contest.
! Before the Board went into executive ses-
sion Treasurer Ferguson was present and
stated that he had received from Tax Col
lector Higgins $4,000 on the latter's duplicate,
and Immediately upon the appointment of an

together with one or two recommendations
| looking to the improvement of the schools.
The report is for the month ending June 30,
as follows: Total number of male pupils,

average daily attendance, females 65I; total
average attendance 1887. Average per cent.
of males, Sc; average per cent Of females, "a;
total average per cent. So The superintend-
ent recommended to the board, inasmuch as
the second grade primary department was in
a crowded condition with the probabilities of
a larger increase during the approaching
term that another school in that department
be established. He also advised the election
Of an additional assistant in the High school,
and that bookkeeping and commercial
arithmetic be added to the curriculum. The
report was referred 10 the proper committee
with instructions to report at the next
meeting.

ercises held in Fergusons theatre, from the
sale of tickets, was S2O155.
The library committee, composed Of
Messrs. Daniel Ogden, NJ. P. Whitaker, P. ].

mitted quite lengthy and interesting report
rs to the condition of the library and madu
several important recommendations for its
| improvement They asked permission, and
the same was granted, to make an outlay of
one-half the present appropriation to the
library fund, about 81 POO, for the purpose of
replenishng the library and bring the
standard of books to a higher plane than
heretofore. This Improvement and addition
TO the library will be made by the time the
new library quarters are completed, and after
that an appropriation of S25 per month is
allowed the committee.
The matter of drainage at the Centre street
school building was considered, and it was
finally decided to dig up the present drain
and replace the old pipes with larger ones.
Private parties have the privilege Of making
connections by the payment of pro rata Of
the actual cost incurred.
The salaries of the superintendent and
teachers and miscellaneous bills were ap-
proved and ordered to be paid.
! The next meeting Of the board will be
held on Wednesday evening, July 18th, for
the purpose of electing teachers and the
transaction of general business.

Had anybody hinted a month ago that the
grand total would exceed one million votes
the people would have declared the statement
an utterance by an insane man.
Many lessons are furnished by the contest
1t demonstrates clearly one character site Of
the Shenandoah people. 1t shows that they
never do things on a halfway basis. When
they become interested in any movement
they always make it grand success.
There is one regret the HERALD feels and
that is an inability to give all the contestants
good trip. he pluck and energy all
showed was admirable and they can point
TO the result with pride.

To Editor EVENING HERALD
DEAR SIR:-Noticing that in commenting
upon yesterdays parade you made mistake.
and believing that you are only too glad 70
give credit to whom credit is due, I beg TO
call your attention to the same. You saw
that the appearance of the Polish societies
was a special feature of the parade. Now il
you will kindly glance at the programme you
will readily see that there were no Polish
societies in the parade. Possibly you meant
the Lithuanian Citizens Society, d. X. L. A.,
which took part in the parade yesterday.
Hoping that you will make this correction. 1
am, yours, very respectfully,
LITHUANIAN CITIZEN.

1t was a most surprising contest, the
greatest in number of votes polled ever held
and probably the greatest in that respect that
ever will be held.
The work of counting was exceedingly
tedious, but the judges had prepared them
selves for good siege and stuck to it with
admirable spirit. When it threatened to
become monotonous Judges Archie Lamb and
Harry MuldOon would chip in humorous
tale and a little rest and good smoke would
do the rest
A tally was kept of the votes counted and
given to the HERALD with a certificate of
accuracy signed by the judges. The follow
ing certificate has been prepared as an official
announcement to the winning contestants;
