Notes of Interest Concerning Local Horses
and Drivers.
There was quite crowd of enthusi
asts at the Driving Park Saturday who
participated in the informal speed con
tests of the Morris County Driving Asso.
ciation. Frank McEwan with "Robert
Loe' 2:161S, was king of the path and
DR.. W. II. McIntoshs Sweet Wilkes
with mark of 2:2914 kept well to the
front. Others who held the reins over
horses possessing more or less speed were
Sheriff e. l.. Durling, Freeholder w. r.
Cook, Charles McCollum. DR.. Harry
O'Reilly, John Naughton, Barney Mar
tin and Ed. Hinchman of Madison.
1t is expected that good crowd will
be present at the regular matinee of the
Morris County Driving Association to-
morrow afternoon. Some of these will
''try out" their horses preparatory TO the
Dover races on Tuesday next.
One of the most interesting events at
the Dover meet will be a match race be-
tween L. d. Guerin's black mare "Alle-
gro" and Alex. Kanouses bay gelding
"Rattler." Mcbride will drive "Rat-
tier aud w. Fl. Emery will look after
Mr.. Guerin's interests.
Although no date has been announced
| it is understood that the Morris
County Driving Association will hold a
two or thrce day race meet at the Driv-
ing Park the week between the Waverly
Fair and Goshen, N. Y. meet.
w. H. Emery drove ''Little Belle, "
owned by De Witt G. Flanagan, against
time to beat 2:30 at Bethlehem, Pa, on
Thursday last As result Of this trial
the little mare has mark of 231S.
1t is scarcely probable that Cal lie,
owned by George Richards, and recently
owned by E. L. Decker, will be able to
ra ce again before the Aug dst races, hav-
ing been dangerously sick with pneu-
monil. She has pacsed the critical
point in her illness, and is now improv-
ing. Carrie is entered in many fast

MISSES HICKOK'S SCHOOL.
Members of the Faculty for the Next School
Year.

Members of the Faculty for the Next school
Year.
The examinations of the four students
Misses Florence Waterbury, Jeanette
Brown, Dorothe Walsh and Mary Farrell
ly, who went, two weeks ago, from the
Misses Hickok's School to Bryn Mawr
for their preliminary examinations were
passed with credit.
1t must be qualification to school SO
new which is not, and does not desire to
be considered a college preparatory, to
have evidence that the plan upon which
it has been established, of making its
work, in elementary subjects, up to the
last three years of the course equally,
thorough, for those who are to 60 to
college and for those who remain in the
school through the general advanced
course.
The proficiency acquired in elementary
work is the basis for advanced subjects
with which the career of the school girl
usually closes and the desire developed
for self-culture is a rudder in the whirl
of social life as an anchor of happiness
for those who may have to meet the
rough storms of life.
Advancing demands through the de-
velopment of the school have SO increas-
ed the labors of the Misses Hickok that
they are compelled to relinquish, sooner
than they expected to do some of the
active work which they have done
while keeping up a close contact
with the colleges, by afternoon attend
ance, and with advanced thought neces-
sary in the present exacting require
ments of sound knowledge, elegant ac-
complishments and home culture in the
education of women upon which the
school is established.
For this reason some important addi-
tions to the faculty have been made.
Miss Laura Porter. who brings charm
ing personality with the record of ex-
ceptional fondness and success In work
with children, evinced by her pen, in
articles which are absorbed by the maga-
zines, is to have the younger element
in the school. Mr.. Murray who was an
honor graduate of Harvard, later
teacher and finally principal of school
in Nova Scotia, continues as teacher OF
mathematics. Mr.. Lyon, Columbia
University man, remains in his depart
ment, and the corps of lecturers engaged
is not often found in the curriculum of
an educational institution below the
grade of college
From Columbia University come A.
| V. Williams Jackson for English Litera-
ture and "reminiscences of India; Adolphe
Cohn, head of the department of Ro-
nance Languages, French Literature,
Readings and Recitations Gn French).
DR.. H. A. Henriques will lecture on
physiology and hygiene. Dudley s.
Carpenter returns as teacher of art, and
it is hoped that during the visit to the
school in October of Richard A. Moulton
he will be heard in at least one of the
lectures which were given when he was
visitor from Cambridge and accepted
the position he now holds in the Uni
versity of Chicago.

THE COOLEST
OF STOVES

A fiery kitchen is not to be desired at
any season of the year, and what an
abomination it is during the summer.
What sweltering atmosphere is pro-
duced by the long kitchen chimney in
every room it touches. Gas Ranges
perform their work with minimum of
fire, and the moment the need of heat
ceases the fire is turned out.
Gas Ranges are lined with asbestos,
and SO skillfully constructed that they
operate in any case with the least possi-
BILE waste, they necessarily perform their
work with minimum of fuel. and are
consequently the coolest and most
economical.
