there was no law and no power that could

j. s. Tanning Breaks the Coast Record
With IS Straight Singles.

The first regular monthly shoe: of the
season of the Olympic Gun Club was held
yesterday in the Oakland racetrack, near
Shell Mound. 1t gave j. S. Tanning an
opportunity 10 show that he is as good on
bluerocks as live birds, and, further, an
opportunity to break the coast record in
that line. The main match for the clubs s
class medals was at 25 singles from known
traps at unknown angles. After this
match was finished Tanning went on
shooting in pool contests and did not stop
breaking the flying disks until he had de-
molished 78 straight. This broke the
coast record of 81 straight, which by the
way was his own record made last month

Down is the first Ulster county which ap-
pears on the list, and we find it only in the
thirteenth place. Antrim, the next highest
of the Protestant counties, is sixteenth, Fer
managh is seventeenth, while Derry, about
which we hear SO much, disputes the twenty
third place with Clare.
Another test of civilization is the character
OF the dwellings of the people. The census has
divided the house accommodation of Ireland
into four classes. The first class is, of course,
much the same all the world over, but what
the fourth class is only those who have seen
the novels in which Irish landlordism houses
its serfs can imagine. The following table
shows the percentage OF house accommodation
for the four provinces.

OF course Ulster has the glorious satisfaction
OF beating Connaught, SO we need not give the
figures for that province, but the strange
thing is that while we are sick and tired of
hearing about the prosperous Protestants of
the North, we never hear CT their vastly more
numerous but equally prosperous Catholic
countrymen of the South.
The position of Ulster is made still more
plain ii we consider how the holdings rated
over 800 are divided among the counties.
There are thirty-two counties in Ireland, and
Of these nine belong to Ulster. Taxing now
the ratings of over 500 we find that for every

The San Francisco call., 1896-03-09

Again, instead of leading all the other prov
inces by virtue of its Professionalism, Ulster goes
down to the third place to keep company with
the benighted papistry of Connaught.
Let US take another means of ascertaining
the relative civilization" of the great divis-
ions of Ireland. The census tables divide the
agricultural holdings into three classes. The
methods of division depend upon valuation
for purposes of taxation. Those which are
rated between $500 and $1,000 form one class
those between $1,000 and $500 second, and
those over $500 a third. Let us now see the
numbe OF these holdings in the four provinces
and we can form good idea of the condition
at least of the farming population.

EXAMS IN THE SCHOOLS.
Programme of the Week Before The
Christmas Holidays.


The Christmas examination in the pub
lie schools will commence tomorrow,
when the schools open for the day.
A circular letter has been addressed by
Superintendent Ashmore TO the principals
of all the schools nstructing that exami-
nations in the same branches be held on
the same day. History will be the sub
ject for tomorrow, in the fifth and sew
enth grades. Tuesday all grades above
the second will be examined on geogra-
ply All grades above the first will be
examined on Wednesday in arithmetic.
Thursday, the last day of the term, Eng
lish grammar and spelling will be the
subjects. Reading will be done every day.
All examinations, except that on spell
ing, begin at 8 o'clock, and continue until
recess. Spelling will be the subject for
examination any time after recess on
Thursday.
After the daily examinations have been
concluded the regular work Of the schools
will be pursued.
Superintendent Ashmore's explanation
to the High School of the reasons i'm
pelling the board to fix on Christmas eve
as the day on which the
schools are to close was highly
acceptable to the children as the only al
tentative would have been the loss of three
or four days of their vsca ton.
The annual report of the puDs.c schools
of the city and county will make its aP-
pearance some time in January. Besides
the report of the superintendent, a pre-
paratory statement from President Mercer
of the board of education will be published
in the report and will show, as its most
essential feature, the rapid increase in the
attendance during the last four or five
years, and that the appropriations made
by the county for school purposes have not
kept pace with the increase in pupils.
The general meeting of the normal class
was held Friday The subject of school
Incentives" was before it. Among those
taking part in the discussion were Messrs.
H. f. Train, w. H. Fitzpatrick, Arthur J.
O'Hara, and j. NJ. Cannon, The object of
the discussion was to discover the best in
centive to offer a child TO perform the du
ties exacted of him in the school room. The
principal idea advanced was that the in
centive should never be below the plane
to which the order of the childs DISPOSE
ton would point, so that, if he were of such
a nature as to be Influenced to study by an
appeal to his honor that appeal should be
made rather than that the fear of punish
ment be held over him.
Several Of the teachers will spend the
holidays away from Savannah. Among
these are DR.. William f. Galloway, princi-
pal of Chatham school, No. 2, who will go
to Baltimore; Mr.. w. II. fitzpatrick, princi-
pal of the Anderson street school, will Wis
il his home at White Plains; and Mr.. p. f.
Brown, principal of the Barnard street
school who will go to Sunnyside or to visit
his brother who teaches at that place. The
schools will reopen after the holidays on

The actual registration may be four or
five less than this, as there were some
errors in the voters lists handed in by
the registrars at the clerk of councils Of
fee last night Some of the registrars
must have failed to put down on the vot-
ers' lists some of the names registered
yesterday. as the count of the books failed
to tally with the reports of the registrars
when they handed in the books. This
does not affect the right of the parties to
vote if their names are on the registration
list.
The registration was light one, as was
expected, and it was a very quiet day all
around. The registrars got along nicely
together. They had learned by experience
thai .-Nen they differed about the right
of an applicant to register it was not nee
essary to quarrel over =. even if one reg,

to enter the name on the list. All 49,

his case. If he could establish his right
to register he received an order to have
his name put on the list, and the compli-

ended the matter.

PARK COMMISSIONS PLANS.
The Park and Tree Employees TO BE
Uniformed.

The park and tree commission will meet
tomorrow afternoon to discuss rules and
regulations for the department for the
coming year. Messrs c. 8. Ellis and p.
d. Daffin were appointed a committee on
rules at the last meeting, with instruc-
tons to report to the succeeding meeting
The members of the commission expect
to be informed by tomorrow that the
amendment to the park and tree commits
sion act has been signed by the governor
and has therefore become law. The re-
suit Of this will be to extend the commits
sioners' authority considerably, as 1t will
give them control of their own labor and
also extend their authority over Laurel
Grove cemetery.
In this case one of the new rules of the
commission will require each member Of
the park and tree force to wear a uni
form while at work of dark brown canvas
overalls. This matter has been under dis
cussion by the commission for
some time. All of the mem
bers of the commission believe the idea to
be a good one. Some of the members
favored white uniform on the order of
Col. George Warnings street cleaning force
in New York, but it was urged that white
would soil too easily, and brown was
agreed on instead.
Chairman stone of the commission, when
asked why the commission wanted to uni
form its employees, said: THE police have
their uniforms and the iremen theirs.
Why shouldn't the park and tree en-
ployes have a distinctive uniform.
There has been nothing during the last
two days, however, about the park and
tree amendment, and it is just possible
that it has got lost in the shuttle in the
general rush of bills at the close of the
legislative session.
