Throughout Today's
Yacht Contest.

New York, Aug. 27.-Clouds were
dark and lowering this morning when
the crews of the two big yachts APP
peared ON deck to prepare for the
third contest. Early in the day light
showers fell in many places within a
radius Of 80 miles of Sandy Hook, and
an hour before the time set for the
start there seemed little prospect of
finishing race should one be start
ed. The wind was only about five
knots an hour.
At 1920 the regatta committee sig
nailed the course for a windward and
leeward race, the course to be south
east.
The preparatory gun WAS fired at
1O:45. The wind was increasing and
was now blowing six miles an hour.
The Reliance crossed the line first,
the ShamrocN a minute later. Both
| boats had such a close fight for posi-
| tion that neither crossed before the
| handicap gun was fired. 50 that the
official time Of each for the start was

ward line. the wind at five miles from
the southeast. Both yachts crossed
the starting line at 1902 (ofticiaD.
At 1910 the Reliance seemed to
have struck puff of wind and was
moving quite fast. both boats being
on the port tack.
Al 1l:55 the yachts had sailed about
three miles, the Reliance leading half
mile
At 1900 the Reliance looked nearly
mile ahead.
At 1918 the wind was freshening
| and was now about seven miles and
bending farther to the southwark.
! At 1926 the Reliance was leading
/ by a mile and n half.
! At 1:l5 the Reliance was leading by
eight minutes and dead to the wind
ward.
The unofficial time of turning the
outer mark was: Reliance, ZAP;
| Shamrock. 1:4S.
The Reliance turned The outer mark
- minutes and 30 seconds ahead of
the Shamrock.
At 2:43 the Reliance was running to
the lightship very slowly. 1t was es-
timated that she viii finish within
the time limit unless the wind fur
ther decreased.
At 2:56 both boats were in view,
the Reliance leading over a mile.
At $40 il became apparent that the
Reliance would barely finish within
the time. if indeed she would be able
to do 50 at all. the wind having drop
ped off to four miles an hour.

A bootblacks' union is the latest
thing in kinslev labor circles. Hairy
Wade is the organizer OF the new
movement and will, by mutual con-
sent of his associates, act as presi-
dent of the new union. This band of
juvenile union labor disciples will
not subscribe to written code Of
action, but will depend largely on the
promises and oral agreements of the
individual members for the success Of
the movement. The members have
agreed to accept nothing less than ten
cents u shine from any one customer
that is the ninimum, maximum not
stated-and the alleged offender
against this oral agreement il to he
taken to n convenient place, tried +,

Language Phone Method for the
Study of German.

The true and only way of acquiring
a foreign language is through the
sense of hearing; the study OF gram.
mars and lexicons although necessary
will not enable the student to become
a fluent speaker.
The language phone method not
only requires sufficient study to mas
ter the technicalities of language.
but gives the student the practical,
living langnage-the voice of a
scholar speaking in his native tongue.
This method is growing rapidly in
favor and is enc corsed by German
scholars everywhere.
Cost of tnition about two dollars
per month Length of time three to
five months. Inquire at Kinsley Book
Store.

Prof. and Mrs. Baugher gave a
party to the Seniors and Juniors on
Friday evening, February 13. They
had n good time playing games awhile
and when supper time came, the girls
stood SO their faces cast shadow
on a piece of cardboard. and Mr..
Baugher drew the profile. From these

were to be their partners for supper.

ture to the Young" and her subject
was we'll handled. She gave many
arguments in favor Of the might of
good books. Mr.. Lester's subject was
"MaEual Training and he gave
some good strong reasons for his be-
lief in its value in the public schools.

At the North Side. Miss Brelsford

We understand the County Board of
Education favor the appointment of
school trustees for this district without
giving the people an opportunity of
making the recommendation to them
by ballot as has been the custom since
the establishment of the special dis
trict. We know the school law does
not require such an election, but in our
opinion it will be a mistake if trustees
are appointed without first submitting
it to vote of the people interested.
So far as we know there is no opposi-
ton to the present board, but they
were elected for two years. That time
is about to expire ard to now appoint a
board without d ballot, especially as
one member of the board to appoint
trustees is a beneficiary of the board,
he helps to appoint, would be a grievous
error, and likely to cause much dlssat-
isfaction. 1t will give the opposition a
good cause to claim snap-judgment. In
our opinion the present board OF trus-
tees. if an election is called, will be
chosen, as we have heard no COM
plants. but if they or any other set are
appointed without vote, the response
bility mnst rest upon the Superintend-
ent of Education and his two members
of the County Board, one of whom was,
and probably will be again, an en-
ployee of the Board OF Trustees he will
appoint.

The Hampton Light Dragons (the
best named company in the State) was
rigidly inspected by Captain Foster OF
the regular army and Col. J. NJ. Pat
rick, Assistant Adjutant General, at
Pamela on last Saturday and passed
most creditably. Captain Foster re-
marked to Colonel Brailsford, who was
accompanying him. that he was i'm
pressed with the fine condition Of the
horses, that they were far above the
average, and that Captain richardson's
voice was fine and very distinct, that
he could plainly hear every syllable OF
his command for one hundred yards.
The officers said the command would go
into camp in August with the State
troops, possibly at the Isle OF Palms.
though not definitely known as yet.

carried out. Professor W. a. Stuckcy
with appropriate remarks delivered the
diplomas to the graduating class, con-
sisting of Misses Hattie Perry. Har-
rictte Harvin. May Bradham and Mr..
Guerry Stukes. 1t is proper to men
tion that Miss Hattie Perry did not
read her essay on account OF throat
trouble.
The music for the occasion was un-
der the direction Of Miss Jessie Nc
Lean and the scholars that performed
on the piano showed excellent train
ing.
This is the fourth year for the Moses
Levi Memorial Institute, and as a pub
licist we take sincere pleasure in con-
graduating the teachers in reaching
the close OF the school term to the sat
isfaction of the patrons of the school.
and we hope the trustees in their wis
dom will be able to again secure the
services of the present teachers. We
are of the opinion that frequent
changes are no5 calculated to add to
the service: 4 school cannot be perfect
in one term, nor can teachers do full
Justice to children on short acquaint-
ance, it is therefore better to keep, if
we can, those who have our children in
charge, and if there have been any
mistakes made the past session they can
be remedied in the coming session.
These remarks of ours are not intended
to dictate to the board Of trustees how
they shall act, nor are they written to
espouse any applicants cause, but
solely in what we regard the best in
terests of the school, and the children
attending it.
There are some now filing positions in
the school that possibly were we in the
position, we should not have favored,
but they haye been tried, and so far as
we have learned, they have given faith
full service, there are no serious COM
plants, and this being the case. were
we in position to do so,we would vote to
retain the entire faculty and expect
them to be better suited for the work
next session than they were this.

Ladies and Children Invited.

All ladies and children who cannot
stand the shocking strain of laxative
svrups, cathartics, ETC.. are invited to
try the famous Little Early Risers.
They are different from all other pills.
They do not purge the system. Even a
double dose will not grippe, weaken or
sicken: many people cell them the Easy
Pill. w. H. Howell, Houston, Tex,
says nothing better can be used for con-
stipatiou, sick headache, etc. Bob

grippe and sicken, while DeWitt's Little
Early Risers do their work well and
easy. Sold by The r. 3. Loryea Drug
