the needs of the society and making an
earnest canvass, our membership could be
greatly increased. The movement this
year accomplished considerable, but its
full possibilities were not realized. Par
don me for the length of this statement.
Tho following extract is taken from the
report of the Finance Committee:
Finance and Property.
Savannah, April II. 19OO.-Col. ]. H Es-
till, President Union Society: The year
has been one of anxiety to your Com
mittee on Finance and Property, for
while the expenditures for the support
Oh the greatest NUMBER VI bOyS Gal GU
for in the history of the society have not
so far exceeded its revenue as during the
previous year they did reach S,58l1,
which added to similar over expenditures
for recent years show a large and in
creasing loss both of investments and OF
revenue therefrom.
The best part of the Whitfield building
and the small stores recently erected have
been vacant for considerable portion of
the year and the number of contributions
is too small for the work in hand.
The buildings are now occupied and we
may expect larger returns from them.
The increase of $500 from dues of mem
bers is gratifying and suggestive.
If forty years ago Savannah could fur
nish nearly 1000 members for the Union
Society there should be no great difficulty
in securing that number now, that its
usefulness and the size of our city have
so greatly increased.
A portion of the excessive expenditures
is represented by a note for $1,000 yet to
be provided for. In view of the unsatis-
factory condition of our finances 1t was
thought better to use rooms in the orphan
house for school purposes than to add
other money to the $1,000 of insurance to
rebuild the school house. At this juncture
the stewards came to our relief and rails
ed money with which to erect a two-room
building.

Blue Ribbon Meeting.

At the Crosse Point track next week
July 10th, 1900, Detroits magnificent
racing plant, will be held the sixteenth
annual Blue Ribbon Meeting of the
Detroit Driving Club and nothing is
needed to make il n success this year
but pleasant weather. Entries for the
twelve class events closed on July 9
and the list reveals groups of the most
celebrated and most promising trotters
and PAGERS in the world. Considering
the ill luck of other associations whose
events either filled but scantily or had
to be declared off, the Blue Ribbon
stands out pre-eminent-a fitting in
augural of the season of racing through
the Grand Circuit.
The classic Merchants and Manufac-
turers' stake of $4,000 for 2:24 trotters
closed with Il and of these the owners
of fifteen have elected to start, making
the field very large one for trotting
event. In the lot are Lady Geraldine,
who won so cleverly at Highland Park
last week. Henry S., who trotted to q
record of 2:l3l at Glen's Falls; the fleet
Yarrum from Denyer; Annie Burns
and The Bondsman from Kentucky;
Sagwa, the pride of Boston; Battlesign
from Pennsylvania and others of equal
prominence.
The Chamber of Commerce pace will
have in about "a of the original 81,
making this an exceptional field of
side-wheelers. Texas Queen, who has
won four straight races; Pussy Willow,
the best green one in Michigan; Connie
the pick from the Pacific slope; Sport,
that great CleYeland winner; Bonnie
Direct, said to be as clever as his sire,
and others are in this lot.
A very large percentage of those en-
tered in the other four stakes will
start, while the class races have gath
cred in all i'll training and not in the
early closing events at this track. In
the 2:04 pace are Anaconda, Search
light, Indiania, Hal B., and Frank Bo-
cash, q wonderful quintette. Tommy
Britton, John Nolan, Kinginond, Dare
Devil, and Equity are named in the
2:0S trot. The other events naturally
attracted many more than these for
the fastest horses and the grand total
of entries is in excess of that of any
other year. The meeting opens on
July 16 with the Chamber of Commerce
the very first race.

Slim, but Slick.

The Annual School Meeting was held
last Monday evening. Only ten voters
and taxpayers of the district were pres
ent. A full meeting is fine, very fine
thing. But sometimes bad motives or
strife in the district causes so called
grand turnout. The fight draws the
crowd. At last Mondays meeting ten
fold more taxpayers and patrons ought
to have been there, and there is no good
excuse for most of the absentees. How
ever, the true inference from this lack
of attendance lies in the fact that our
people are quite satisfied with the con-
duct of the schools, and heartily APPROX
ed the efficient manner in which the
Board has managed the affairs of the
district. If there had been trouble, If
there had been something to kick at,
the benches would have been full. In
this sense the Board can find much to
encourage them in the slim attendance.
Il. Il. Currier was reelected to sue
ceed himself, and III. &. Martin was
elected to succeed Rudolph Andreae,
whose health forbids him longer to at
tempt extra duties. The trustees were
instructed to increase the amount of in
surance by 81 900, making a total of
$1,000. For the benefit of the taxpay-
ers and patrons, we will state that the
total bonded indebtedness of the dis
trict is yet $500 This with interest
is payable in annual payments of $500
each. The financial report of the dis
trict, as rendered by Harvey Tappan,
