THE REPORT OF SECRETARY
HARRIS.

It is particularly appropriate at a
time when all are thinking about the
affairs of the city from the point of
view of selecting a mayor that the
needs OF the city as judged from the
past should be brought home. The
investigation of Secretary Edward
Harris of the Young Mems Business
club of the finances of the city is
without parallel In the history of the
city as far as completeness and thor
oughness are concerned. It is one
step in advance toward the ideal of
systemized reports as favored by the
National Municipal league and in use
in the state of Massachusetts (Which
Is the only state in the country which
has attempted anything Of the sort.)
1t should be a distinct source of
pride that Richmond has been the
first to inaugurate such movement
in this state and that she has body
of business men who are intent
enough on the affairs of the city to
investigate the past conditions in an
attempt to ascertain what should be
done in the future. Nor is praise
alone due to the Young Mems Bust
ness club-but to Ed Harris personal
ly-who according to Mr.. Wilfred Jes-
sup of the committee, did more than
ninety-nine per cent of the work in
connection with the report.
The public hears so much about a
business administration for Rich
mond that unless something tangible
is shown it does not realize the diff
ference between slip shod methods
and the real thing. We call the at
tention of the citizens of Richmond
to the fact that Mr.. Harris in his re-
port shows that the records of the
city in the Zimmerman administration
from 1898 to 1906 were incomplete
which is very significant. When rec
ords are incomplete there is some
the reason. The entries during that
time in regard to the expenditure of
the moneys OF the city are also in
complete BY this is meant the fact
that the expenditures were only kept
track of, by the simple means of check
stubs. which gave only the amount
and not the reason for the expendi-
ture of the city's money. The public
may draw what ever inference it
pleases from this state of affairs. It
may say that there is carelessness or
graft-but we say only one thing:
This condition ought not to happen
again. The public money must be
accounted for SO that every penny
paid into the treasury will be account
er for. as must every cent that is
paid out. And if this policy OF the
young business men of the town is
kept up-there will be real business
administration in the town worthy Of
the name
We especially commend in the re-
port the atterpt of Mr.. Harris to fur
nish the citizens of Richmond with
the data for comparison with other
towns SO that they can see whether
they are getting their moneys worth.
What this means to every man. 10,

timc was 1880; Yale's 22:l0.
By this victory Harvard won hor
second consecutive boat race from
Yale in tweuty-cight years. Not since
1880 and 1881 has Harvard won two
consecutive races from Yale. since
1855 Harvard has won Eve varsity

namely. in 1S91-99-t9O6 and 1905.
since Wray has been coaching at
Cambridge, Yale and Harvard have
met three times and the Crimson has
won two races.
The greatest crowd that has ever
assembled here on the Thames poured
into New London. Harvard's grow
ing confidence in her boating system

The fortunate presence of President

night saved the lives of a score of per-
sons. Although two members OF a
moonlight excursion party in the power
boat Item were drowned, it is believed
when the 90 occupants Of the boat were

gene A. Cults, of Saco, was rescued in
an unconscious condition, but was re-
vived.
The Sylph arrived here yesterday

THREE MILLIONS HAVE PASSED
THROUGH LUNA PARKS GATES

Since Luna Park opened in May
more than three million persons have
passed through it's gates, shot the
chutes and tried the witching waves.
All this month the various shows in
Luna. such as Saved by Wireless"
'1he Prairie Belle 1.-THE Monitor and
Merrimac," have been playing to ca
pacity at every performance. The
bounding bell buoy, dragons gorge,
mountain torrent. the chutes, the ocean
wave, the ticker, the Virginia reel,
have been thronged, also.
That Luna's many free shows, all of
which are laugh-makers, have met with
public approval, is shown by the way
they are ~patronized, as well as the
others. Visitors go on the Virginia reel,
get the full benefit of it's Embarrassing
whirl. then walk across the musical
floor, or try the bouncer and then make
for the tickler or some other larger
attraction.
Frederick Thompson has planned to
increase the number of performers in
the free circus by one-third. The bill
is changed weekly and there are so
many persons in it that a continuous
performance is now given from the time
the park opens unit. it closes at mid
night.

GIRLS GIVE PARTY ON
PORCH TO FRIENDS
Misses Helen and Norma Van
derDOOI Entertain.

The Misses Helen and Norma Van
derpool, of 8 Beverly street, gave a
little supper party to their intimate
friends last night. The front porch of
the house where the supper was served
was very tastefully and p~rettily
decorated with pink color schemes,
Chinese lanterns and Japanese chimes.
The table had been set for a party of
eight, and looked pretty with the large
candelabras'a t each end and big vases
filled with carnations and roses in the
centre. After the supper came dancing,
singing, the playing of popular songs
and playing of well-known party
games. A miniature campfire around
which all gathered to tell stories
brought the party to a close.
Miss E.. Bell Mansfield won the first
prize by telling the most comical story.
Those present at the supper were
Miss Helen Vanderpool, Miss Norma
Vanderpool, Miss Mansfield, Miss
Marian Summer, Rachael Wiegand,
Roy Kirch, Raymond Doremus anu
Frederick Wildenryder. Mrs. Hazel
vanderpool, the mother of the two
girls who gave h party. acted as
chaperon.
