By Associated Press.
LONDON, June 5.-Signorinetta, the
italian filly owned by Ginistrelli and
the winner of the Derby, today added
the Oaks, the ladies Derby" to her
credit, winning with almost as much
ease as she captured the Derby We'd
nesday.
1t is impossible to say, however
what would have been the result had
not Richard Croker's Rhodera fallen
three-quarters of a length ahead of
the winner.
At the moment Signor Ginistrelli's
filly was going we'll within herself.
Two lengths separated the second and
third horses.
A bakers dozen of horses got away
to a good start French Partridge soon
forged to the front and led the field to
the mile post. Near Tattenham corner
French Partridge stumbled and fell in
a heap. Rhodera and Signorinetta were
close up, with Mr.. Croker's horse di-
rectly behind the fallen leader.
Lucien Lyme, who was riding Rho
dera, was not able to pull his mount
aside and the American-Irish filly
rolled over French Partridge. signor-
meta managed to clear the struggling
horses and then took up the running
and won with ease.
Had 1t not been for this fall one of
the most stirring finishes of many years
would have been witnessed.
The real contest was expected in the
last quarter of the race. 1t was known
that Signorinetta was able to go the
full mile, but there was doubt If she
could stay the extra distance with the
others.
After the race King Edward received
Signor Ginistrelli on the royal bal
cony and congratulated him heartily
on the remarkable feats of his filly.
Jockey Lyme was unhurt by his fall
College Leader and the jockey who
rode French Partridge was badly
shaken up and for a short time was
unconscious.
Signorinetta's time was 2:42 2-5.

Adopt School Books.

Since the Legislature has decided Ia
vorably nearly every proposition that
came up to help the public schools and
school teachers of the State, interest
In educational circles Is turning to-
ward the adoption of text books, to be
used after the expiration OF the present
school year.
The Department of Public instruction
will begin some time next week an
advertisement, which Will run for
thirty days, for all the books to be
used in the common schools after2th
next adoption. which will be for a
period of either four or seven years.
Heretofore the adoptions have been
for four years, but the law was
changed by the present Legislature. so
as TO leave the term for which the
adoptions are hereafter made discreti-
nary with the board. provided 1t Is
not less than four nor more than seven
years.
a prominent member of the board
said yesterday that he would make
the fight for seven-year adoption. and
that he hoped his plan would be ac-
cepted.
When the board meets to determine
upon the method of adoption the ques-
tion of the single or multiple princi.
pie Will arise. and 1t looks as II he
former will prevail.
The recent investigation into the
prices paid for school books in the

to a high pitch In favor OF the single
list system. and. in addition thereto
