Xa tha column of The New-York Times tea quick and painful progress of tha children of Brooklyn through the primary and grammar achoola of that city has been described.

There remains but ona mora chap. er. It daaJs with thalr hurrlad flight through tha high school. Enough of tha dally routine of the studies has bean published to' show tha truth and force of tha charge of J. Edward Swan-Strom, the President of the Board of Education, that the course of study In the Brook-lya public achoola la overcrowded and top-heavy with comparatively useless subjects.

There are so many studies crowded Into the ay that the pupils are kept Jumping from ne to another, and at the end of the week, ao President Swanstrom declared In his Inaugural address a few days ago. tha children are dased. and remember lit tie of what they were taught. The effectiveness cf tha teaching- In the Brooklyn public schools has been reduced the minimum, and has been rendered Haw-Tor It a ad Xew almost nil in some' of the schools by the vary large slse of tha classes. In these schools- the little children have not only been subject to all the disadvantages of the vercrowded and bewildering course of study, but they have born herded in such numbers into their classes that they have gotten no more definite idea of their studies than a man would get of tha number of houses In a Street and their condition by sweeping past them in a fast express train.

Aocordlng to tha last report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction In Brooklyn, there were 877 classes which contained aver CO pupils each. Of these classes. 231 had registers between 0 and- TO; 65 olasses had registers between TO and 80; 22 classes had reglatara between 80 an TO) IS classes had registers between 80 and 109; 1 classes had registers between 100 and 110; is classes had registers between 120 and 130; 4 classes had registers between 130 and 140; 2 classes had registers between 140 and 150, while 1 class reached the enormous total of 1A8. the average age of the pupils when they enter the Brooklyn primary achoola 1 about seven years, there were, at tha time of the last report of the Superintendent. 2,335 children In the schools under six years old.

The success with which this double legion of little tots coped with tha primary-school course of study la not escribed by tha Superintendent. He recommended, however, that all children under si years old should bo excluded from the primary grade A curious and significant table was print-ad to tha last report of the Superintendent, snowing the number of pupils that had failed to get through the primary and grammar grades In anything like the time laid down in the course of study. oboola were on the list singled out as having been Inefficient In their teaching of ttie courses study. There were bl2 pupils graduated" from. Wyrfftlrty-two schools In June.

Nearly one-JMrd more were from eight to nine years jn navigating- tha tortuous course and reaching tha shore. There were sixty-eight pupils In these achoola who were from nine to ten years in mastering tha course. In ona primary school alone In Brooklyn Tsar Primary No.

There are two high schools In Brooklyn, ne for bovs and one for girls. The averse age of entries is between fifteen and 'teen years. In the boys' high school i aere are three courses one of two years la commercial aubjects, on of three years la science, and on of four years In tannage in the girls' high school there is a commercial course of two years, an English ourse of three years, and, a language oourse ti, fiur. ln- hin caooi thirty studies art Caught, aa follows: tultek iPreneh. business eorreavoodeaoe, rpaniaa, --ura.

Tha desire for secrecy manifested by tha board of expert engineers appointed by President Cleveland to examine the plans of the New-York and New-Jersey Bridge Company was partly explained yesterday at the meeting of the board' In the Army Building. When tha board met, Charles H. Swan. Secretary of the bridge company, was present to answer questions by the engineers. ITe had furnished Information about minor matters, when Engineer George C.

Morrison asked, abruptly: Has the New-Tork and New-Jersey Bridge Company, Mr. Swan, made arrange ments of any kind In regard to terminal facilities with the New-Tork Central Railroad Company? I ask tills because from the plans I learn that that company leases or owns much of the water frontage from Fifty-ninth Street to Slaty-ninth Street on the North River." 80 far replied Mr. Swan. the bridge company has made no arrangement of any sort with the railroad company, either In rff. to th to which the bridge come or about terminal facilities."

Commissioner of Immigration Senner returned to hla desk at Elite Island yesterday after a vacation of nine daye. Ha expressed "much annoyance over too 'escape of the four stowaways who manag-ed to gain their liberty during his absence, and said that an Investigation would be made, Concerning the refusal of several of the steamship companies to pay for food consumed by Immigrants while awaiting EJ1U Xland.

Dr. Senner said: foltow Instructions sent me from Washington, I can tell you about what, in my opinion, will be done These oompsnles do not know when they are Well off. For four years they have paid the expense of feeding the Immigrant who were detained for examination, but now that business la bad they make a protest. If tho steamship men persist iln their refusal to pay for the maintenance of detained Immigrants I fancy that I shall receive ordere to examine all Immigrants on board ship. Then the companies will be obliged to pay for their subsistence As a matter of the Immigrants are on buard ahlp.

I i aias-S -4" 1st the Seeoad Half of the Raeo the IVIad Freshened aad the Vlrllaat Cat Don a the Brltaaala's Lead The Anerleaa Yacht to Race at Bsagor aad Xrxt Week, Where aad Whra She Will Meet the Brttasala Agaia. ROTHESAY, July 12. To-day's race closed the Clyde regattas, leaving the Vigilant with a record of six consecutive de feats. The Vigilant, as she dashed for the Com modore's boat on the second round, got. the true wind and was rapidly reducing the distance between herself and the Bri tannia, but the time was too short, and the British boat held the advantage over the American at the finish of the second round by four minutes and twenty sec-' onds.

The sun shone brilliantly, and there was a rattling breese. The Vigilant set all sail, and aa she plowed along she threw a mighty wave from her bows. Rounding Largs four minutes behind the the Vigilant showed something, like her true. form. On the beat home to finish- the race the Vigilant made shorter legs than the Britannia, the good judgment of which was questioned, as her slowness ln stays is her weak point.

She made five boards, while the Britannia, over the same course, made only three, but. notwithstanding this, the Vigilant gained sufficiently on the English boat to reduce her lead to one minute and forty seconds at the winning post. The course of the contestants was from a point off Cralgmore Pier, ln Rothesay Sound; thence waa almost due south to and around a stakeboat oft Mount Stewart. thence to the westward to and around a mark off Largs, thence northward to and around a mark boat ln Wemyss Bay and across the Firth to the. starting point, twice around.

After the second round the yachts sailed diagonally across the quadrangle from Rothesay to Largs and return. The length of the course Is about fifty miles. The managers of the Vigilant were much dissatisfied yesterday with the set of her sails. Mr. Gould had communicated with Sallmaker Lapthorne, with a view to getting a new suit for the centreboarder, but the British sallmakera patriotism Impelled him to refuse the Job.

A friend of Mr. Gould to-day told the United Press correspondent that he had seen a letter from Lapthorne declining an order for the. sails, declaring that he would not make anything for any foreign boat to run against an English yacht. There was a moderate westerlv wind blow ing across Rothesay Sound when the racers came out to the starting point. The battle was for a prise of 60.

The sky was cloudless and the sunshine brilliant. The starting gun boomed at 10:30. The wind was on the starboard beam, so It was a reach along the first leg of the quadrangle. The Vigilant crossed the line at somewhat to leeward of the Britannia, which was timed three seconds later. Both carried Jib topsalla and club topsails.

The Britannia cut through the weather of the centre- boarder and forged ahead. The Vigilant soon closed up the gap. Then, ln pursuance of its Summer custom, the wind dropped to merely a sort Dreexe ana came in puns. Both boats heeled a little in a puff, as they bore off shore near Ascog. The wind was freer in the channel.

Aproaching Mount Stewart, sheets were eased and booms went far to port. The Britannia Increased her lead to about 100- yards. The yachts rounded Mount Stewart in this order: Britannia. Vigilant, Thus, at the end of the first leg, the Vigilant was 1 minute 10 seconds astern. In the four-and-one-half-mile leg- from Mount -Stewart to Largs spinnakers were set to starboard.

The Yankee boat gradu ally drew up on the Britannia. Near Tomont the turn, the Britannia seemed to do better. She gibed to starboard, but the Vigilant kept her main boom to port and her spinnaker to starboard. Out of the lee of the great Cumbrae the breeze was steadier. The Britannia rounded the Largs mark boat at Vigilant.

-rnese ngures snow mac the Yankee craft picked up nineteen seconds in the run before the breeses. Spinnakers wer hauled ln at Lans and the yachts headed north from the markboat ln Wemyss Bav under the same canvas tney naa carried down the opposite shore. The wind freshened and the towering sticks of the giants heeled to starboard, under the pressure on their wealth of canvas. At Knock Castle, nearly half way between Large and the markboat at the Britannia, was leading by 2 minutes and 8 seconds. The Vigilant set a smalt llbtopsaU.

apparently expecting the -wind to increase. The Britannia rounded the Wemyss mark at Vigilant. 12:13:34. The Britannia gained 2 minutes 37 seconds on this four-and-a-half-mile leg. She was minutes 37 seconds ahead.

It was weather work from Wemyss to the home mark. The Vigilant again demonstrated that sbe was better at pointing than her rival, which appeared to be a trifle superior In footing. The Vigilant held on to her little Jlbtopsall. The Britannia lowered hers, her skipper doubtless thinking that it headed her off. The yachts, after rounding the Wemyss markboat, lay well down the channel on the starboard tack The lirltannia fetched the home mark in two long legs, and rounded at Vigilant, 12:52:08.

The Vigilant waa three minutes and fifty-eight seconds astern. She had lost twenty-one seconds In the tacking from Wemyss. The wind, still holding true from the west, had freshened. The Vlgllant's loss In the tacking was caused by an extra board she made to fetch the home mark. kit load of the Britannia, as the yachts bowled down the coast with the wind about on tne luruoaiu mKun wg interest In the combat, which was assuming the aspect of a walkover.

The Mount Stewart markboat waa rounded the second Britannia. 1:08:19: Vigilant. 1:12:18. The Britannia had added another second to her aavaniage, mavaiug tne time of her lead three minutes and nlnn sisrnnl9. Qr.inn.bn- booms were dropped to star- mat before the boats reachedMount Stewart.

The Britannia quicklyset her spinnaker flying to the BrltUhtyle. The Ylallant was slow ln breaking out her great slik side salL It hung iha stops. The wind fell a bit. and. as she felt the Influence of the drop first, she lost several minutes more to the Britannia.

The Largs mark was passed thus: Britannia, iao.113; Vigilant. The Britannia got a fins lift from a sudden increase tn the wind Just aa she rounded and sped up to Wemyss for the second time, he was i minutes and seconds ln the lead, and the stern chase of the Vigilant looked as If It were a hopeless one. But the Yankee yacht ln a good breese is a hummer, and she decreased the cutter's lead by. 24 seconds. Theltroe at Wemyss was: Britannia.

Vigilant. There was a difference of 6 minutes and 38 seconds in favor of the Britannia. The time ot ths TVritannla between Largs and Wemyss was 27 minutes nd 58 seconds, and that of the M(rUant was 27 minutes and 34 seconds. The wind had shifted to the northwest, and it waa a reach. Close tiauled.

with the wind on the starboard bow. The Britannia held the lead, but It was apparent to very--dv that the Vigilant was gaining. It was now a piping breese-the kind the Yankees had bean sighing for. Tp prove the corrctneas of their Judgment that the centreboarder is a mug-hunter In a breexe, she made the reach to the home mark in 32 minutes, beating the Britannia in the four-and-a-half-mlle stretch by 2 minutes and 1 seconds. This cut down the lead of the Briton by Just that much, but she was still 4 minutes and 20 seconds ahead.

The time at the home mark on the second round was: BriUnnla, Vigilant. 2:42:40. It was a run over the als-and-one-half-mile leg diagonally across the quadrangle to Largs. Spinnakers were set to port, and the contestants bounded down the wind at a twelve-knot rate. The Vigilant beat the Britannia on this leg by 20 seconds.

Ths yachts were timed thus: BriUnnla, Vigilant The beat back to the Commodore's yacht at the finish was made in short boards, and the Vigilant again demonstrated that she Is niwriiir to the Britannia In a rattllna- hrM "which the northwester finally became. The yachts nnisnea as rouowa: urttannla. a tut ao- Vla-llant. 4:02:10. -i- Thus, there was only minute and 40 seconds between victor ana vanquished.

Aa addition of three minutes for time allow. ance make tha Brrrtanola win by 4 minutes and 40 aeconas. In her splendid weather work on the last leg of the course the Vigilant beat tho Brit annia by 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Her time was Britannia. If the race had bean started tn tho stearie northwester that sprang up Just before th yachts turned the Largs mark on the second round, the Vigilant, It Is thought, would have beaten the Britannia handsomely.

In the last four legs of tho course, from Largs to Wemyss, thence to the home mark, thence to Largs, and finally home, the Vigilant actually beat the Britannia tie- ft ffriinntM iiwl fl Mnmdt It WaS over these legs that the duelists had a real racing wina. There is utile aouot amons the American vachtsmen here that the cen treboarder would, under similar weather con ditions, nave beaten the Britannia over tne six other legs of the course. Aitogetner, the Yankee yachtsmen have reason to congratulate themselves and pray for more wina in tne next tussle. The Clvde vachtsmen oraise Mr. Gould for his pluck in continuing to race after such an unbroken run of bad luck.

Me says he will enter the Vigilant at the regatta at Banaror on Mondav and Tuesday, after aU. He will also take the yacht to Kingston. These announcements have made the Irish men Jubilant over the prospect of seeing tne Yankee centreboarder In Irish waters. The Britannia -will also sail at Bangor. Mr.

The plaintiff owns a tarre number of houses In Ninth Avenue. between Twenty-fourth and Thirtieth Streets. In suits against the elevated roads he secured Judrmenta for damagea to his. property, and after afllrmaaoe by tha Court of Appeals the damagea were paid.
