The Young Woman's Christian Asso-
citation which has done such good work
and met with much encourag cement
since it's organization, expects to move
into it's new home. No. 129 Abercorn
street, Oct. l, and with new and more
spacious quarters. to do far more good
than it has been able to in the past.
The greatest feature will be the
classes, in every department. which
calls for skilled feminine labor. These
classes will be conducted by experts in
their various lines. Miss McKindsey
will teach the class in millinery, and
Mrs. !. NJ. Graham, the class in china
painting; Miss Smith. cooking; Miss
Bruce will have classes in gymnasium
work. The teachers of dressmaking
and stenography have not vet been
definitely settled upon. but they will
be selected from the best in the city
The staff of the Y. w. G. A. consists
of Miss Lillian Bruce, general secreta-
ry, who has already proved her ability:
Mrs. J. NJ. Graham, assistant secre-

ST. VINCENT's ACADEMY.
Largest Enrolment in History OF
the Institution.

Largest Enrolment in History OF
the Institution.
The Academy of st. Vincent de Paul
opened yesterday for the first session
of the new year.
The enrolment is the largest in the
history of the academy, and owing to the
fact that many Savannahians have not
yet returned to the city from vacations
spent in the North, the roll is not yet
complete. Many have written that
seats be reserved for their children,
and as far as possible this has been
done.
The exercises consisted of those
usual on the opening day. The Sisters
of Mercy, who have charge of the
work, outlined the work of the year
and began organizing the pupils into
classes. Short addresses were made to
the young ladies entered on the i'm
portance of the work as a whole, thu
need of mastering fundamentals and
the objects of the work. Everything
is now in readiness for the beginning
of the regular academic work.
Mother Icuphrasia, superior, who is
i'm full charge of the academy. is anx-
ious that all parents who intend en-
tering their children at the school,
should do so at once. Late entrances
act as a greater or less handicap TO
the pupils themselves and also often
occasion delays to those who entered
at the beginning Of the year. 1t is
earnestly hoped that all young ladies
who intend taking up the work of the
academy will be in their places by
Monday morning at the latest.

Clark Special Broke Record.

W. J. Black, general passenger and ticket agent of the Santa Fe, in speak ing Of the Clark special train which was run from California to Chicago, said:
 Ut was the fastest run ever made on our road, taking all things into con- sideration. The special started from Winslow, Ariz., at II :2S p. ID. Tues day and reached Chicago today at 1:50 p. m. The run Of 1863 miles was made, therefore, in 37 hours and 15 minutes. This is an average Of A. niles an hour, including all stops and delays.
 ''The most remarkable feature Of the trains flight was its great speed through the mountains. It did better work there than on the level country east. The special crossed three moun- tain ranges, including the continen tai divide. No delays were encountered in the mountains. and the speed made was something new in railroad ex- periences. IT the same approximate speed had been maintained east of the mountains the train would have reached Chicago four hours sooner.
 "Much of the distance across Kansas was done at mile-a- minute speed. A noticeable thing about the race against death was the quickness of our en- ginemen in changing engines for the special at the division points. Santa Fe officials are much gratified over the showing made by this train in breaking past records, but we can do better.
