WILL BE NO YACHT RACE.
Stewards Decided Not to Hold One


stewards Decided Not to Hold One
July 4.
The proposed yacht race for the Fourth
of July has fallen through.
AT meeting of the board of stewards OF
the Savannah Yacht Club yesterday /,
was decided that owing to the fact that
q great many members of the club had
made their plans TO spend the holiday al
other places, the race had better be de-
clared Off
This will be a great disappointment to
many of the yacht owners, who have been
taking the keenest interest of late in the
contests between the rival boats. The
propecls of small attendance, however
odd not justify the expenditure OF such A
large sum OF money as a regatta entails.
Messrs. John A. Calhoun, J. w. Pres
ton and Ed. Workman were elected and
Mr. ]. P. Williams reelected members OF
The of club.

The attention Of those who are interest
cd in educational matters is invited to the
life work of Johann Jakob Haberlo, an
industrious teacher Of the good old school
During his life he kept diary of the
number of puuishmcnts inflicted by him
ON pupils. He records that during 81
years he distributed "9ll, 5l7 strokes with
stick, 24u, 100 birch rod smitcs, 1876, 715
hand smuchs, 1O,goG blows with ruler
10, 235 sluIs ON the face, 5000 boxes on the
ears, ll5, 500 on the houd, and that he set
some $4,000 tasks from the Bible, so that
it was necessary to purchase new copy,
through wear and tear, oycry two years.
Seven hundred and seventy seven times
did Johann make his children kneel on
dried peas, while 5,OO1 times he stood

Natures Preservation of Species.

One of the most magnificent species of
this kingly genus was so abundant in the
Columbia river before canning houses had
reduced its numbers that the town reaches
were packed with salmon, while tho sur
face was covered with the drifting bodies
of those that had porished in fierce strug-
giles with the crowd. Yet there is good au-
thority for the assertion that not single
ono ever returns alive from the breeding
grounds in the headwaters of the St.
Cloud. The whole race is wiped out, ut.
terly exterminated, as soon as it arrives
at maturity and physical perfection, in or
der that the pcrpctuation of the species
may be assured The whole object and
end of the beautifully co-ordinated body,
which is provided for by such admirable
and wonderful adaptations, which is built
up so slowly and at so much cost, are rapid
and total destruction.
The marvellous instinct which leads the
young fish to the ocean and tho organiza-
tion and the habits which fit it for its ma
rine lifc-all, in a word, which makes of
the salmon our ideal of lordly flsh-are
worth nothing as compared with the wei
fare of generations yet unborn.-W. X.
