All the PreIiminariS Arranged for the First Of
the Series Of Yacht Races To-Day and the
Owners Of Both the Columbia and
Shamrock Are Confident.

T EW YORK. Oct 2.-Now come
nj we 10 the yacht races-the inter-
M national contest which is excit-
i ~ ing so much international atten-
ton. And unless all signs fail,
:: the series Of races which begins to-mor-
row will exceed in interest any similar
contest of the past. For there are many
new. features which viii distinguish
this struggle Of the challenger to lift"
the cup, and the effort of the defending
yacht TO defeat that end.
Perhaps the most notable feature is
the fact that the races are TO be con-
ducted under Government auspices
Revenue cutters and torpedo boats are
to keep a surveillance over the eXCur-
sion fleet and TO see that no vessel ap-
. proaches near enough to interfere with
the racing yachts. This duty of keep
ing the course clear has been placed in
the hands of Captain RObley D. Evans.
It may be unnecessary to add to the
general opinion that under such cir
cumstances the course viii be clear
The work Of keeping it so is not likely
10 be easy. as the excursion fleet is by
far the biggest that has ever followed
the fortunes Of racing craft on this
side Of the Atlantic. A glance over the
list Of vessels advertised for this event
will show what a long array it is.
Every local vessel was long ago en-
gagged, and from neighboring ports

VI TASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The
II homecoming of Admiral
NV George Dewey - for hence
Il Il forth the national capital is
to be his home-was made
the occasion for the greatest tribute
ever paid by Washington to any ind-
vidual. After the preliminary welcome
in New York, itself unsurpassed in it's
kind, it remained for the highest and
greatest in the official world to hold
out the hand of greeting to the famous
admiral and TO join with the people
who are to be his fellow citizens in bid
ding him welcome. The citizens had
made every preparation to make the
occasion worthy of their hero The dec
orations were elaborate. Pennsylvania
avenue was one mass of colored bunt-
ing along the entire line of march, from
the station to the White House, and
not content with this, few private
citizens failed to make some dis
play of color on their residences
Unique designs dotted the horizon;
great searchlights threw beams of
bright light across the blue sky on a
clear October evening and the stately
Capitol stood revealed in its aueenIy
beauty in the powerful rays of many
concentrated lights.
The same device was used effectively
in the case of other public buildings

Dewey and the President, as they re-
viewed the throng of people from the

EDUCATIONAL.
A Good Letter on an Important
Subject.

To the White Teachers Of Brazos
County:
From the attendance at the in-
stitute last Saturday one would
conclude that there is lack Of
professional interest among the
teachers of the county.
Education in Texas has made
in the last fifteen years considera-
Die progress, and possibilities for
the next fifteen years are much
greater. II beehooves US then who
: are factors in this movement to
together that we may reach
Fkighest possible attainments.
ia read the signs Of the
times correctly, the teacher who
does not keep abreast with this up.
ward movement must of necessity
find place elsewhere. As a man
we owe it to humanity to make
the best Of ourselves possible.
We should ask no higher motive
lhan bein a factor in educational
progress.
We desire thank the judge for
including in his call for the organ
ization OF the institute every white
teacher in the county. The teach.
ers Of the College, Graded School
and Allen Academy need the co.
operation Of the country teachers
TO do their best work. Much more
does the country teacher need the
cooperation of the higher schools
that his pupils may enter these

schools to an advantage.
Let every teacher, then, who has
at heart the advancement Of this
course, make sacrifice to attend
the next institute.
Yours fraternally,
ID. j. MCDONALD.
