DISAPPOINTMENT IN ENGLAND.
Great Interest Taken in Race-PeopIe
Expected Shamrock to Win.

Expected Shamrock to Win.
London, Sept. 26.-Failure of the
yachts to cover the course in time to
constitute a ace has created general
disappointment in Great Britain but
the chagrin at the apparent poor show
ing of Shamrock II overshadows all
other expressions of feeling. The
great suburban population of London
was kept advised Of the progress of
events by pyrotechnics at Alexander
and Crystal palaces on the north and
south sides of the city. London
crowds chiefly gathered on the en-
bankment, watching the red and green
electric lights making progress up
the high tower on the surrey side in
accordance with the varying move
ments of the yachts.
Steam launches carrying the same
colors and patroling the Thames from
London bridge to Westminster, also
keep the eager multitude in touch
with the transatlantic contest. Thou
sands of persons gathered at these
places while constant bulletins at the
leading hotels supplied news to hun
dreds of others. Among the masses
gathered on the embankment the
kenest, disappointment was evinced.
Evidently they had expected the chal-
lenger to Guido the defender under
any conditions. The sporting clubs
announced a very small amount Of
wagers.
King Edward displayed great inter
est and was kept posted of every
movement of the yachts.

PLENTY OF COLUMBIA MONEY
Most of the Betting is 10 to 8 or
Columbia.

New York, Sept. 26.-Numerous
wagers on yacht race were reported
in stock exchange circles today.
Most of these were at odds of 10 to 8
on Columbia, but as good as 10 to z
was offered at times. No very large
bets were announced although Column
bia money is offered in almost any
amount. One brokerage firm offered
to wager any part of $4,000 even that
Shamrock would not win two races
of the series. About $4,000 was plac-
ed on Columbia at five to three and a
half. Most of this money was taken
in 500 and $500 lots. One broker

are withheld until the officials can
satisfy themselves that the govern
ment is not being imposed upon in the
matter.

consequent national mourning,
brought matters practically to a
%standstill in the wool market. What.
ever business was transacted was

Primo pal, Evening School.

HI OOcV AuAoutO9
Principal, Evening School.
Dear Sir;
/ regret to inform you that is will not be
possible to hold more than ttco evening
classes IN the Colon School building for the
following reasons: The rooms and the fur
niture in them are entirely too small for
classes of adults: waterclosets are such
that they can not be used at night; the
building is without sufficient protection, it
may be easily entered from the rear and
there is no watchmsu.
The worthy young men and acomen, who
after working hard during the day are am.
bitions enough to attend the evening school
TO obtain an education. should be permitted
60 enjoy the best advantages that it is poss
ible to give them. Crowding them like cattle
lnto$he Colon buildings when there are
other and better bHiding is not doing justice
to the Commissioner OF Education or the
Department who expect some little return
for the money expended tor giving instruc.
ton. No special appropriations have been
made for night school work but the Com.
missioner has agreed to assist in every way
possible to make the work q success. The
Local School Board has limited emount of
money for running expenses and has done
all it can.
Tue municipal authorities have agreed to
place electric lights in one of the buildings
at their own expense. This has not been
done and 200 young men are waiting to en-.
tor the school. You say that objection on
account of expense, is made, to placing
lights in any but the Colon building. This
is certainly not the true spirit in which
assistance was at first offered us. Is it not
better for those authorities to spend few
more dollars for the good ceiling and COM
tort Of all concerned in the night school
work than to spend that money for some.
thing that will bs always unaatisfactor,
We e1pect plenty of hard work from both |
'sachers and pupils, quality and not quan.
Sity. II the municipality Is too poor to |
assist us properly then continue your work |
with the two classes. The Local School |
Board will soon have sufficient means to |
,rovide for good night school in either
ne Mckinley or the Lincoln buildings.
For the present perhaps Miss Llobet, Prin-
'paI Of the day school will give you some
'ox in which to keep your books.
Yours most respectfully.
