although he was at present teaching Il
school in his town he should discontinue
tho school in Il week or two. Mr.,
Thurlough was elected supervisor OF
schools pior to the passage of the law
bv the LEGISLATURE which gave the
school committee the power to elect SUI

so. He claims that the law cannot be
retroactive and that he is the legal su-
peryisor until the next town meeting.

noon train. Saturday, and says he will
open his school as usual, this morning.

FOG PREVENTS RACE
HEAVY MIST COVERED COURSE OF
THE YACHTS.
Hope for Race Tomorrow if Condi-
Nons Are Favor
able.

HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK, N. J..
June 9.-After the smart rain squall yes
terday and a shift Of wind to the south
west 1t was generally expected that the
waiting cup yachts, Reliance. Constitution
and Columbia, would have good weather
conditions for their contest today off Sandy
Hook lightship.
But before dawn the long wall Of the
Sandy Hook siren told Of the coming OF
more fog. and when the crews of the
yachts came on deck as usual at o'clock
it was impossible to see more than hun
dred yards across New York bay. and what
was fully as disappointing was the entire
absence OF even breath Of wind.
Just which way the wind would come
from was question until about 7 30, when
1t began to puff up from the southeast.
This was not regarded. however. with any
satisfaction. for 1t seemed to indicate that
1t would pile up more fog instead of blow
ing 1t away.
With the wind from the southeast 1t
looked at o'clock that the regatta COM
mittee. providing the fog lifted would send
the yachts over a fifteen-mile windward
and leeward course from Sandy Hook light
ship giving the boats beat right out to
sea and a run back before the wind.
At $50 the wind was blowing about four
knots and the fog showed no signs what
ever of lifting.
STEAMER WARDEN. via De Forest
Wireless. Coney Island, N. Y, June g. 1O:1s
am.-The fog is 50 dense that race seems
out of the question. In addition, there is
very little wind.
HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK. June o.
There seemed little chance that there would
be a race today until past II o'clock, when
the sun began to make some impression or
the fog and preparations were made to
take the yachts out to the Sandy Hook
Lightship, at which the start was to be
made.
At lis the fog was clearing away and
the wind east-south-east blowing
about four miles an hour.
At 1:35 both the Reliance and Columbia
left their Inoorlngs inside the hook and
started seward in tow Of tugs. The Con-
stitution had started half an hour previous
also in tow.
By wireless telegraph, 2:32 p.m.-The race
Is off for today. There will be a race TO-

PRINCE EUGENE's REPORTS.
King Victor Emmanuel's Gift to the
President.

King Victor Emmanuel has sent to Presi-
dent Roosevelt a gift of rare value, which
will be presented to the President next
Monday by Signor Mayor des Planches. the
Italian ambassador. The gift is OF
books, and consists of the war reports of
Prince Eugene of Savoy. the illustrious
Italian general, and of a copy of Dantes
Divine Comedia, with comment I'm Latin
by Stefano Talice da Ricaldine. Tho books
are elegantly bound In full red morocco,
and bear the royal crest, with the kings
monogram in the four corners of each vol
ume.
The President is enthusiastic admirer
of Prince Eugene. and has made a careful
study of his campaigns. In some way the
Italian amba ssador learned of this fact.
and as soon as the king heard 1t prepara
lions for sending the gift were begun.

PATROLLEDBY SOLDIERS
LAND AT SOUTH END OF THE
AQUEDUcT BRIDGE.
The Secretary Of War Directs Col. Ed
gerly at Fort Myer to Main
tain q Guard

detail Of cavalry and artinerymen
from the military post at Fort Myer has
established an outpost near the south end
OF the Aqueduct bridge for the purpose Of
patrollin4 the territory which has recently
been decided to be government reserya-
ton and over which the authorities Of
Alexandria county, Va, have repudiated
authority. The situation is regarded as Pc
culiar in many respects. The decision with
regard to jurisdiction in the premises was
handed down last week by Justice Love
of the county court of Alexandria county
in an opinion in assault case where the
defendant denied the jurisdiction of the
Virginia authorities. According to this de-
cision the reservation extends to the high
water mark on the Virginia shore. and
this high water mark Is about two hum
dred yards beyond the southern end of the
Aqueduct bridge. The tract contains about
100 acres and is entirely distinct from Fort
Myer or the other public reservations there
abouts. 1t is claimed that in the act OF
recession to Virginia of the territory that
was ceded to be included within the bound
aries Of the District of Columbia the Dis
trict claimed jurisdiction to the high water
mark on the Virginia side of the river.
When the decision of Justice Love was
announced word was sent to the War De-
partment and the Secretary of War direct
ed Col Edgerly. in command of the "a
Cavalry, to maintain guard on the reser-
walton until other arrangements can. bs
made. At present mounted patrol Is IN
operation day and night under the COM
mand of commissioned officer. 1t Is sup
posed that steps will be taken to include
this land in the District of Columbia and
place it under the police protection of the
District police force.
Neither Commissioner West, who has
charge Of the police department for the
Commissioners, nor Maj Sylvester. super
fntendent Of police, has heard anything
about the matter as yet, however.
