To SAIL FOR MANILA
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April Gone hun
dred and twenty American school
teachers will sail for the Philippines
before June /. The first of the new
teachers will go upon the Korea, sail
ing from San Francisco on April %.
Another party will leave upon the
American Maru on May 3, and the
third party of teachers will sail on the
Siberia May 10.
Most of the new school teachers are
men, as the Philippine commission
prefers them to women, because of the
hardships which must be endured at
interior towns.
The certified list of teachers has not
been sufficient to supply the full quota
required this year and another eXami-
nation will be held soon to fill the re-
naming places.
There are about 500 American teach
ers and 5000 Filipino teachers en-
ployed in the insular schools. The new
school year opens there on June 1.

.SHRINERS EXPECT
MORE THAN $4,000
SlRCUS RETURNS ARE NOT

Mabel Rex, High School Horse, Brings
$3.50 at Auction-Last Night
of Show Is Banner
Performance

The Shriner society sircus is thing
of the past, but the biggest things are
yet to come in Shrinerdom.
From the proceeds of the three days
circus it is expected that $4,000 will
be available to be devoted to the enter
tainment of the visiting knights next
month.
The figures, as nearly as could be es-
timated last night, were as follows:

The electric lights at Fiesta park
twinkled with unusual brilliancy last
night. The big tent was crowded to al
most it's utmost capacity and late COM
ers were given the few reserved seats
that remained unoccupied. The per-
formance went through without a
hitch. The amateurs and professionals
did their noblest stunts.
The clowns were funnier than ever
and the animals themselves acted up in
real skittish style.
Even the camels, popularity supposed
to be the meekest animals that ever
bumped themselves along the sawdust
ring. were skittish and pranced along
to the manifest dismay of their youth

ment of the audience.
1t was a typical Saturday night
crowd.
course, but the thousands who filled the
hard board seats were not all society
people by any means.
Mabel Rex Brings $3.50
Every performer was literally ap-
plauded, every mishap was quickly
noted, plenty of people bought seats for
the "concert" following the regular per-
formance and the chewing gum, candy,
cigar and balloon peddlers were well
patronized.
One of the features of the evening
was the auction sale of the beautiful
high school horse, Mabel Rex, which
was finally knocked down to Major
Kirkland for $3.50.
Probably the sideshow stunts amused
the audience as much as any of the
ring acts. Sis HOPKINS, lne euuCdlSu
giraffes, the bucking burro, the cunning
little pig that persisted in running un-
der peoples feet, all afforded great
hilarity.
The only freak who looked lonesome
was the youth with lemonade, which he
said with chattering teeth was "ice
cold" The top of the tent had been
removed since Friday nights show and
the night winds afforded plenty of ven-
| tilation.
Members of AL Malakai temple
showed much glee last night when 6
partial count was made of the re-
ceipts.
1t was stated that the exact sun
raised cannot be determined for severa
days, as several thousand tickets giVer

Blossom stables, fine coach horses
from Chester place and st. James

of Orange Grove avenue, Pasadena,
were registered at the clerks office.
Even the polo ponies came in for
registration and had their names
placed side by side with the names of
the best show horses in the southern
country.
Real Horse Lovers Happy
The chief question now, however, is
to register all the docked-tail horses
before April Is. After that time the

animal is not properly registered
