city Board of Education.

A special meeting of the City Board OF
Education was held in the Academy last
Thursday evening, all the members being
present.
Mr.. Estell, of the special committee to
confer with the West Deptford Board in
the matter of the admission of West Dept
ford pupils to Woodbury. schools, reported
that that Board had made finder Of $40
for each pupil received This sum is in
addition to the State appropriation based
on attendance.
Mr.. Carpenter moved that the report be
received and the offer accepted. After dis
cussion Of the subject in all its phases Mr.
C.'s motion was adopted, Mr.. Redfeld
voting in the negative.
Mr.. Wilson, of the Special Committee to
inquire as to the necessity of further
accommodations, reported that the number
of pupils in the Fifth grade was too great
for single room, and recommended the
opening of another room. The report was
adopted, and the Property Committee in
structnd to rent an additional room and
furnish same.
The probable attendance in the High
School was discussed. 1t is not improbable
that the attendance there will require an
additional room and teacher, in which case
another room outside the academy will
have to be procured for the Seventh grade
and the entire second floor of the academy
given over to the Eighth grade and High
School.
By unanimous vote the tuition for pay
pupils was increased as follows =
In primary grades from So to S. per
quarter: grammar grades, from So to So
per quarter; Eighth grade and High school,
So to $3.50 per quarter.
The reciprosity arrangement heretofore
existing between Deptford township and
Woodbury., in exchange of pupils, was
continued.
Base Ball.
Again were the grounds of the Wood
bury Country Club thronged on Saturday
afternoon to witness the third game of ball
between the team representing that organ
ization and the strong (?) Westville aggre-
CATION.
The visitors arrived about four-thirty
o'clock in a market wagon. After more
waiting the game was at length started,
much to the qualification of the impatient
spectators.
AS far as batteries went there was little
choice between the two teams. Foster
brothers, for Westville, and Wells and
Buchanan, for Woodbury., both played ex-
ceptionally good games which called forth
much applause from the appreciative audi
ence. Wells had six strike-outs, base on
balls and two dead balls to his credit and
Foster had five strike-outs and two bases
on balls on his account.
Al L. oc
last weeks, each side being quickly retired,
until the fourth inning, when the scoring
began. With several safe hits, and num-
Der OF errors for the visitors Woodbury. was
enabled to make four runs before they were
retired. This seemed to greatly dishearten
the boys from the neighboring town and
errors were much in evidence throughout
the remainder of the game
Woodbury's fielding was almost perfect,
there being but one error, but that sufficed
to enable the visitors to score their only
run. Edwards after making a sensational
stop of hot grounder was unable to re-
cover himself and made wild throw to
first.
Sammy Powell played second base,
his arm had gone back on him and he
thought he would have less to do in that
position than at his old fielding place, but
everything seemed to come his way, and
the onlookers were treated to an exhibition
of ball-playing seldom seen on an amateur
field, he having eight put-outs, beside a
number of assists.
Buchanan deserves great credit in taking
the chance of the foul fly which dropped
near the fence, bruising his elbow but still
the ball.
But four hits apiece were made off the
pitchers and had the Foster brothers had
better support the game would have been
much more interesting.
The game finally ended with score of
6 to 1 in favor of Woodbury..
Zimmerman, right fielder for the Coun-
try Club, left to play ball at Wilkesbarre,
Pa.
Williamstown, who have been playing
excellent ball this season, will be on hand
next Saturday afternoon to strive with
Country Club for hOnors.
