place at the farm. Fanella was under
sized and had done nothing OF note, so
she and her colt were among the lot
to lie weeded out. The bidding on the
little mare and her baby son was so
light that when WEIGH, who had own
ed her. said $500, there was no raise
for lIomo time, until another man made
II $525, and the Hartford turfman re-
fused TO make an advance.
Tie lucky buyer was George w. Lea

ed. Besides that, the foal Funella was
carrying became a sensation at years

that K. e. Smathers got rid OF his har-

Fanella was disposed OF the same
day that Todd fetched his big price,

NO PROVISION is MADE
BY CITY FOR SCHOOL
Buildings Will Be Crowded
Next Fall.

With the assured prospect of school
buildings crowded beyond their capa-
city at the opening of the fall term
in September, no provision is being
made by the city authorities to take
care of the increased attendance, es-
pecialiy in the white schools.
Mckay Hill School, colored, is
equal to all the demands upon it, but
in the white schools dozens of pu-
pills will be turned away again, as
was the case last fall.
What is the city going to do about
it, if anything?
1t seems an assured fact that the
issue of bonds, $4,000, voted a
year ago for the erection of another
public school building cannot be
utilized at present, and assistance
must come from some other source.
Will temporary provision be made
for the pupils offering for admission.
or mus scores of them again be re-
fused, as last year?
The suggestion made that a dwell
ing house be rented, or bought, is
feasible enough, but no building de-
sirably located is to be had, and es-
pecially upon a rental basis. Few
property owners would care to rent
dwelling as a school house.
It is indeed a serious problem, that
now confronting the educational in
terests Of the city.
