 TRENTON, N. J., June 10.-Another intellectual effort was made last night [o select a commander of the Second brigade of the New Jersey national guard. Seventeen ballots were had by the field officers of the Second and Third regiments. with the result on each ballot of five votes for Colonel Gilmore of Trenton and five votes for Colonel Chambers, also of Trenton. This vote is the same as that cast on each of the 107 ballots cast q week ago.

It is also the opin- ion that Governor Murphy will appoint Colonel Gilmore. because of the lat ter's military experience.

Years at the Annual Meeting Of Directors

At the annual meeting of the Boar q
of Directors of the School for the Deaf
and the Blind, the attendance was un-
usually large, every member being
present but one. 1t was the OCCASION for
the election of officers and teachers. Mr..
john f. Ray, the principal, was re-elect-
ed for a term of three years; and the
other officers and teachers for one year,
respectively.
Mrs. L. w Meadows, the capable and
popular matron, was reelected. this
making her sixth year in the institu-
tion. There have been no new
teachers elected. The board is seeking in
cvcry legitimate way to ecOnonIiZe in
the matter of expenses, but not at the
cost of efficiency.
The attendance during the present ses-
sion has been very large and in many
ways this has been a most satisfactory
year. The Principal reports every de-
partment doing very gratifying work;
the recent inspection committee of the
Board of Directors, which make a most
thorough examination into every part of
the work of the school every month pre-
sented a most pleasing report of their
last visit to both departments; ard the
Musical Director, Prof. John A. Simp-
son, in his annual report says of the
music departme mt: "Thc work of the
year has been. carried on thus far under
more favorable conditions, in some re-
spects, than ever before, owing largely
to the recent purchase of six good pianos
and to the advantage afforded by our
new music building"
The school has been using the new
printing and stenographing machine, and
there have been turned out several pro-
ducts including a music primer in he
point print" This machine is operated
by Mr. Thomas Hughes, a totally blind
man, and he has shown much skill and
ingenuity in its operation.
The undergraduates, Misses Grow and
NeWsom, have prepared a phonetic
primer, upon the principles laid down IN
Prof Moses Phonetic Readers. and it
has been published in the raised Line
Print for the blind by the American
Printing House for the Blind. The Sd
pcrintendent OF the printing rouse an
nOunces it a most excellent production,
and it will be used in many other schools
