The thanks of the board were also extended the president, Mrs. Dnwey, to tha patrons and to the press.

--V 1 It UU Chosen President of the Board of Education for Another Year. Milton Noyes, who has served in the Board of Education, longer thaa any other member of the present board, will preside over the deliberations of that body during the coming vear. The caucus of the Republican members preceded the organization meeting of the new board yesterday afternoon, the caucus convened at 4 o'clock and the friendly rivalry kept the session going until nearly 5:30 o'clock. The caucus resulted in a compromise for president of the board. At 5 :30 o'clock Superintendent Ellis called the meeting to order and read the clerk's certificates of the election of the new members.

Commissioner Hodgson of the Fifth ward Commissioner Buell of the Third ward Commissioner Webster of the Ninth ward and Commissioner Lewis of the Twelfth ward. On motion of Commissioner O' Grady, Commissioner Thrasher was made temporary chairman. Commissioner Klm-mel moved the adoption of the rules in operation October 7th last for the government of the board. This was done to Eteer clear of the by-laws passed since that data that have been considered ob jectionable, principally the rule governing transfers. Commissioner Noyes moved as an amendment the adoption of the rules in operation March 81st, together with some additional minor amendments.

After some discussion Commissioner Kimmel accepted the latter amendments proposed by Commissioner Noyes and his motion was adopted. The principal amendments are: In the section relating to the transfer of nunila from one public school to another, the section was amended by striking out public bo that a pupil may be transferred from a paro chial or private school. A new committee on organization of schools and examination was provided for. In place of the law com mittee will be a committee on appeals and grievances. This committee will assume work of the law committee and part of that or tne examination and organization com mittees.

Commissioner Noves was then named as president of the board and unanimously eiectea. Other officers were elected a3 fol lows Superintendent's clerk. Miss Lillie C. McConnell assistant librarian, Mrs Kate Dowlmg school carpenter, Frederick Blaesi engineer and janitor, Joseph Miller school policeman, Charles R. Reynell mes senger, vv Uliam Bemis.

1 he board then adjourned to next Mon day evening. It is probable that President Noyes will have his committees ready to commence by that time. REMEMBERED BY THE PUPILS. Entertainment and Presentation at Sacred Heart Convent. Yesterday being the feast-day of Mother Carrigan, superioress of the Sacred Heart Convent, No.

2 FMnce street, an entertain ment was tendered her by the pupils of the academy. It was held in the study hall which, draped with lace and filled with palms aud other exotics, presented a very handsome appearance. The entertainment opened with a chorus, after which came an address, at the close of vhich a beautiful floral piece, representing a chalice, was pre sented. A piano quartette, from erdi Aida, on two pianos, a recitation in French, "The Legend of the Forget-me- not, and a duo from Lohengrin were fol lowed by a dehxhttul original comedietta, The Fairy Telephone, the latter being presented by ten little maids in white who, flitting about, among the flowers, seemed veritable denizens of Elfland. At its close they presented a pillow on which, in flow ers, were the words God bless you Mother Carrigan thereupon gracefully thanked her entertainers.

Concealed in the chalice which was first presented was a purse containing a sum of money contributed by the pupils for the purchase of a golden door for the tabernacle of the high marble altar of the charel. which will soon be erected on the convent grounds. This chapel, when completed, will be an architectural gem. The stained glass windows will be imported from Munich, and, it is said, will be presents from wealthy friends of the convent. Mother Carricran wa3 also presented with vestments of white moire, gold embroidered, for the new chapel.

and altar linens of the finest cambric and lace. THE FLOWER CITY STAKE.

GRAVITY WILL DO THE WORK The Bill Should Specify that Form of Conduit Report of the Water Supply Committee -Board Meetinj of t.ie of Trustees. The water supply "committee of the Chamber of Commerce has always opposed Engineer Tubbs's pumping scheme for obtaining Hemlock water. Last night the board of trustees of the chamber, at a regular meeting, adopted resolutions strongly condemning the "scheme.

The resolutions also advise that the bill shall explicitly state that the supply shall be obtained by gravity The other action of the board was of less importance. Other legislative bills were discussed and some new members were admitted. The president, L. P. Ross, presided.

The committee on postal facilities of fered a resolution which was adopted dis approving the postal telegraph bill. The grounds of disapproval were that the exist ing company met all the demands which the new system provided for. Before the trustees met, the committee on public improvements had a conference with Colonel McMahon and G. K. Reynolds, in reference to street cleaning.

At the later meeting James G. Cutler reported that the committee would make a further examination into the subject. George C. Buell of-lerred a resolution, which was adopted, in reference to the bill for the listing of taxable property. The resolution condemned the bill as being ''oppressive and inquisitorial in its nature and decidedly injurious to business and manufacturing interests of the city as well as the state.

Mr. Buell said he had spent a whole evening in studying the proposed charter amendments but was unable to report either for or against. Mr. Cutler from the committee on water supply presented the following report Since the presentation of our report at the annual meeting, your special committee has, on invitation of the aldermen, participated in a number of meetings held by the joint committee of the Common Council. At the most important of these meetings, the one held at the city clerk's office on March 24th, the following resolutions were adopted, eleven aldermen voting with us for the first and eight for the second First That this committee recommends the purchase and setting of 10.000 additional water meters at the earliest possible moment and at an expense not to exceed 150, 000.

Second Resolved, That it is the sense of this committee that while metering is necessary, it will not obviate the need of constructing an additional all-gravity conduit of gallons capacity as soon as an enabling act can ba passed by the Legislature, and we recommend to the Common Council that 6uch an act be at once prepared by the city attorney. 'It was expected that an act draughted in accordance with the terms of the second resolution would be prepared by the city attorney and submitted to the Common Council or to the committee for approval before it was introduced Into the Legislature. This, however, has not been done. The same bill which was sent to Albany last year nobody knows by whom and without the approval of the Common Council, and afterward expressly disclaimed by it, has been introduced and contains no provision with regard to the manner in which the water supply 6hail be obtained. Your committee, therefore, calls attention to the fact that, notwith.

standing the array of expert testimony against the extravagant scheme of the water works engineer to construct and maintain a plant to pump water from a source three hundred and eighty -eight feet higher than the city, it is still threatened, and although eight out of the sixteen aldermen have voted in committee for an 'all gravity conduit, it is doubtful whether the Com mon Council can prescribe or will prescribe the method of obtaining a supply once authorized, after which tha business passes under control of the Executive Board, whose present engineer is definitely committed to a a plan involving pumping. The work of your committee jointly with that of the original aldermantic committee, assisted by two eminent engineers employed at an expense of $5. 000. and involving a large investment of time and effort, estab lished beyond successful question the unde- sirabllty of proceeding in the matter of se curing additional water, under the advice of the present engineer and as we fear that unless the all gravitv plan, pronounced by the experts to be the cheapest and the best, is prescribed in the enabling act, its passage maybe endangered by the active objection of influential citizens, exasperated by the persistent attempt to force a vision ary and unsound plan supported only by the advocacy of its author, upon a community already overburdened with expenses, some or which have been incurred in the same way. Your committee urges upon you the importance of procuring additional supplies of water, the need of securing a suitable enabling act from the present Legislature, and recommends as one means of obtaining the acquiescence of the taxpayers to the proposed expenditure, the removal of all possibility of unwise and unnecessa outlay for pumps and pumping, oy inserting in tne act a clause statinat explicitly that the 6upply shall 4 only be obtained by tha construction of an all gravity conauit irom Hemlock lake.
