0 THE -DAILY -PICAYUNE-NEW ORLEANS, SATURDAY; NOVEMBER 14, 1896. A GREAT DAY IN A SPORTING WAY. Thav Winter Meeting Will Be In-, Johnson and Michael TFill Wheel for Sore Records. Tslane and the UtuYereity of Texas Elevens TTIU Meet on the Football Field and Fnn Will Be Plen-tifal. The 4 long winter meeting of the Crescent City Jockey Club will begin to-day and from the present lndlestlons It bids fair to outdo the very ucceeaful run of last season.

There are bow quartered at the Fair grounds about BOO bead horses and more are dropping in 'every dak Even the present number is enough to run a good meeting with, snd the quality 1 better than that of last year. An entrance fee of $5 to all races under a mile Is teln charged, and this will Insure large enough fields of a superior auallty a Tery essential matter for good racing. The purses are of the same ralue as they were last season, hut the dozen or more stake events hays largely added money, and this is the particular Item which will attract the good horses to this part of the country. Stake horses Invariably run more consistently, and as consistent racing pleases the oubllc better than anything else, the attendance "is bound td be a paying one at all. times.

Tie-track Itself has been put In good condition, new earth being spread along the quarter-Stretch, with a slope toward the inner rail as to make it drain well after a rainstorm. The few ad or soft spots that were in the track last winter were burned out and filled up anew, making them perfectly safe this No new additions have been made to the grand stand, as that particular portion of the course was made as comfortable as possible last year. The secretary's office at tne end of the paddock has been enlarged to accommodate the number of employes necessary now to do the work, widen has increased tenfold within the past two years. The secretary himself. Mr.

Clark, has been a-very bus man during the week, as tne preparations for a llX days' racing is no small Job. The officials will be. the same as last year. R. O.

Rankin being the presiding governor; It. W. Simmons, the presiding Jnrtge, and Clarence' McDowell his associate. The starting will be done by Mr. ho will ase this season the McGinnis starting operated so successfully at the Beach track during the past There is very little difference between It and the Brown, used here last winter, and if it as good satisfaction there will be no grumb- itere-are several prominent bookmakers in the city who wiU oblige the speculative public by posting Tery liberal odds a failing most of them have.

Mr. i. M. Murphy, who had charge of sending out the auotatione to the poolrooms throughout the country, gave up bis position tolook after his stable and the Western Union kes replaced him with M. J.

Kenna, an experienced hand at the business, who travels the western circuit in warmer -weather, There is a fair lot of Jockeys here for the opening end after next week several of the old favorites, who have taken short vacations, will be on band to don the pigskin. The. racing will begin and as there Is always a "good thing" in the inaugural. It -will pay the speculators to be on hand when the bell rings. ENTBiES FOR TODAY.

HIS afternoon Tulane University's eleven and a -team of big, strong athletes from the Uni-rersity of Texas will struggle lor football honors on the Tulane grounds. The game will be called promptly at 8:30 o'clock, and the two 85-minute halves will tie hard-fought, for both aides are deter-. mined to win.

For two seasons the Tn-. lane men have been etfuggling for honors with Texas, and on both 'occasions they have met defeat. Once It was because their team was weak, and -once en account of two Inches of slush and hard rain. In 1894 Tulane went to Austin, and was defeated by a score of 12 to and in 1895 they returned, meeting defest by a score of 16 to 0. That year the team was the strongest, but the lightest, and they lost on account of inability to get their half-backs working fast enough- and the incessant pounding of the Texas giants at the line.

This year Texas has a lighter team, and honors are expected to be about evenly divided. Texas will ontweigh the local-eleven, but they will have to plsy bard to win. This is the fourth game of their season, and they have not as yet -been scored On the. 17th of October they played and defeated the Galveston team tiy a score of 42 to 0, and on Oct. 24 the Dallas Athletic Club eleven wss played, but neither, side scored.

Then the second eleven of the university met the San Antonio team, from the Young Men's Christian Association, and won by a score of 12 to 4. At noon on Thursday the team left Austin, and last night they arrived, having with them nnit a larze DartT of students. Quarters bad been secured at the Denecbaud" Hotel, and they were escorted a of local players. The party was In charge of Harry A. Robin son, who is also the ooacn or the eleven, 'xne others were: J.

To-morrow, Sunday, the teams of the Young Gymnastic Club will take-another practice at the Athletic park, leaving the clubhouse at 10:15 a. m. At 11:30 a picked team will practice with the Eureka football team for thirty or forty minutes. The Eurekaa report thst they expect to have a really good team this season, when they get going. Last year they showed up well, considering the little practice they bad.

Tom Bradford, who kept goal for the X. M. G. C. laat year, is now with the iiurekaa.

The Y. M. G. C. is getting ready for a game with the Edgewatera, which should furnish a good contest.

TlllS WHEEL. JOHNSON'S RECORD BALKED. Johnny Johnson was to have cnt a few seconds off the mile record yesterday afternoon, but there was a general going wrong of team and the machines, and hie trial ended with only 2-5 of a second being wiped off the record made here last winter by Peter Berio 1:40 3-5. The day was almost perfect. During the night tnere had come out of the north a cold wind, which drove clouds away in a hurry end also drove the temperature don some 25 degrees.

This wind began blowing oat its strength, about noon, and when Johnson wss to have started there was little or no breese. Everyone in the stand was looking for a magnificent exhibition and a repetition of the previous day'e work, but they were, disappointed. About 8:30 o'clock the big sextette was brought out from the dressing-rooms and Saunders sod bis crew mounted, but they did not ride far. The tire of the rear wheel, they thought, was in a bad way several days a and they declined to ride. Yesterday they renewed their fears, and Saunders said that it was not and he would not risk the attempt.

The remainder of his crew, consisting of Crooks, 6 Hirers, Wing, Lawson and Newbouse, joined in the protest. Last yesr, it will be remembered, Saunders and Crooks were on a quint which paced Berio. This- machine, one afternoon, gave way. The rear tire exploded- and the crew went flying Into the grass by the side of the track. BclaentlT the accident took the courage' out of the two riders, the stories they related managed to create a fear among the others of the crew.

At any rate they were afraid to pace Johnson. Then the machine was taken back to the dressing-rooms and one of the trainers wound tire tape around the tire where the threads were cut. All out the crew thought the machine was perfectly safe, and the trainers and repair men in the party Joined in thia belief. Saunders waa not satisfied, because, the tire was humped In a spot and touched the rear forks. Then more tire tape waa secured and finally, after a half hour's delay, the machine was considered safe.

Tom Eck was disgusted and said that he would not have a thing to do with the trial, but Johnson replied that be was going for the attempt any way. The Jallen brothers were brrnaht out on the triplet to travel the" last Quarter, while the sextette went for the ti ree-qcarters. Altbongn the men rode they seemed to lack spirit' and did not perform their usual work. After a half-mile warming np they crossed the line for the mile. The first quarter was fast' enough, 0:23 4-5, and the halt was made in 0:48 4-5.

and the three-quarters In 1:14 8-5. It was Impossible to secure the record now. ut the Jallues made a good pick-up and car ried Johnson over the line in l-sr. This was lust one second slower that the record made by Hamilton, and Just two-fifths of a second better than tne time estaDusnea last December on the local track by Peter Berlo. The teams will be overhauled to-day and the machine gotten Into perfect order, for this afternoon Johnson will go again tor the mile, and thia time he is expected to capture the record by at least four seconds.

'ihe breaking of this mile record time is quite an important matter with Johnson, for It means an increase of his income by S5000, and the pacemakers are interested, for there is 50O which will be divided among the men who carry the great rider to victory. Besides the ride for the mile thia af tern con, Michael wilL ride for the hour record, and he fully expects to knock out at least thirty-two miles, for It will require that mark to win. The officials who served yesterday were: H. C. Fourton.

SOME GREAT RIDING TO-DAY. Thia afternoon there will be held a race meet which will he decidedly above the ordi nary. The management of the 5 local race course has arranged a programme which will prove fast and Interesting. At this meet Michael will ride his hour record and Johnson will, try for the mile, and then there will be tandem races, and a race between the Jallen brothers and the Philips triplet, and another triplet' team trade np from among the pacemakers of the team. In addition there will be a mils onen nm.

Amacker. (Special to the Picayune.) Amite City, Nov. 13. Evry thing con spired on the opening of the fifth, day of the Florida par shea fair this morning to make it financially and otherwise a The weather was" cool end dry and charming for aa' oatlug. The attendance excelled all preceding days, and numbered over 1400 person.

It wus echool day; virtually it was every one's day, for it seemed mat everybody, young aud old, waa at fair. The fcttcol children of Arnite City aud Rose-land, under the guardianship of Profs. Lucas and Eacbard, were formed in a procession, wearing their respective school colors, and under beautiful banners, headed by the Amite Brass Band, were marched to tho i'alr grounds, where they were turned loose, free to enjoy tbeanselves aa -best they could during the' balance of the day. Alter amusing them- selves they were called to the grand stand to listen to iu aoie addrass delivered by Hon. Q.

P. Amacker, the popular parish ecuool superiutenueur. who, atier oeiug Introduced by Judge Wa Duncan, spoke AS OllOVVjJ I Mr. President. Ladles and Gentlemen When received from the fair association an invitation to make addrees on children's day, and remembered that this week was appointed as the time for the fall term of court in our parish of St.

Helena, I did not think it possible to be present on this occasion. I am glad, however, that circumstances have changed so that I am able to be with you, and I thank the fair management for the honor conferred by their klndnese. I am specially glad to be with you on children's day. To all good citizens the material and educational interests of the children address themselves In an especial manner. We may differ as, to other, questions, but when it comes to the necessity- for the development of the- bodies and minds of our children, we are all agreed.

A parent can-leave to bis child no inheritance so Im-t portant and valuable as that of a cultivated mind. Riches may vanish, but knowledge lingers, and (whatever may be one's position In life) Is always In Inex-heustioie source of wealth. Not only the Intellectual, bnt the moral nature of the children should receive the most careful attention, that the time nnd means spent in their education should prove a blessing to themselves and to their country. The boys and girls now growing up throughout our fair land will be called upon to fill the positions of honor and. distinction1 in its government.

In order that they may do this creditably, they must be enlightened. Just as the youth of the country are prepared for the duties that are to devolve upon them, so will-their power be felt, in the counsels of the state and nation. Knowledge Is power. 'There is a grave responsibility reefing upon the parents, and one that should be met fully and fairly. They should see to it thst their children have an equal chance with others in the race of life.

As I look 'nto the bright nnd happy faces of the children I see those who may be called upon to occupy high and honorable positions in life, and I say to you, now is the time to gain that knowledge which will be better than riches. You should be encouraged: by the example of the great and good men who have gone before you, and endeavor to- leave you footprints on the sands of time. 'ou have heard It ea Id that yon can lead a horse to water, but-you can't make him drink. Your parents can provide good schools for you. but they can't make yon learn.

That work Is yours. And remember, children, there ie nothing one regrets more In after years, when cast out upon the great sea of life; than the neglect of opportunities improve and cultivate the mind when young. Mr. President, your fair association is expected to show to the public the Intellectual as well as the material progress of our state, that the stranger may be attracted to our goodly kind. We must confess that the in our southern country have interested themselves as much as they should have done in the cause of I have always been or the opinion that the more money our people put into the schools, the less would be needed for Criminal expenses and jails.

If our people ever expect to establish a due regard for the laws of our etate. the standard of intelligence will have to be raised by educating the children. In the new states of the northwest almost the first thing that is done after a few settlers locate in a neighborhood is to build a ecboelhonse and organize a school. Then a tatx about as large us that for the support the estate government is levied for the support of these What shall we do, then? Will the pecple of one southland still sleep on. while the world, in its march of progress, passes by? Surely not.

Lately there hare been schools organized In our midst. Thl8is a move In the right direction, and shows that our people are awakening to the importance and great need of education.

It is calculated that there will be obtainable funds' sufficient to run the schools for at least two weeks in December.

Wisdom. 1-reeldent Kruttechnitt presided, and 'Mr. Jamison, as secretary, recorded the proceedings. Superintendent Eas ton was present. Mr.

Kruttschnitt'a report was submitted and received. It is as follows: "First I lay before you a communication from John W. Watson, treasurer ad interim, asking that he be allowed salary as treasurer of this board for the month of October, during wbicU month he was acting treasurer. As Mr. Watson, during this month, was ex-olficlo acting treaeurer of this board.

I advise that his request be granted. "Second 1 lay before you a communication from Miss Lily Whitaker, president of the New Orleans Educational Association, asking that we again make an appropriation for the purpose of assisting in defraying the expense of a course of lectures to fee giten by that association, according to the same general plan whicU was pursued during the past two winters, and at which Ihe corps of teachers Is Invited to attend without charge. I recommend that this letter be referred to. the committee on finance, with power, to act to the extent of contributing. $250 towards said course of lectures.

In like manner aa during tbe pest two winters. "Third I lay before you the bond and oath of office of George B. Penrose, who has been elected city treasurer vice Euclid Borland, deceased. Mr. Penrose becomes our treasurer ex-offlcio.

and this bond re-t your approval and acceptance be-ore it 1 recorded in the mortgage office. I have examined tt; It is in proper form-and the surety bee qualified In the amount of the bond. I. therefore, recommend that it be approved and accepted. "Fourth The subject of our finances will occupy a reat deal of your attention at this meeting, and the board must decide whether or not our financial- situation Is such as to allow us to keep the schools open during the whoieor any part of the month of December, 18U0-.

As your committee on finance will present yon a fnll and clear statement of the condition of onr treasury I shall not for-stall the report of that committee, and therefore make no recommendation on that' subject. "I would, however, call the attention of the board to the fact that this board is required to present to. the 'common council of the city of New Orleans on the first day of December, of each year, a full report of the condition of the city schools, showing the number of teachers and other employes, and their salaries; the number and location of school-bouses with the condition thereof, and the estimated cost of keeping all appurtenant grounds in good repair during- the ensuing- also a detailed exhibit of all receipts and expenditures of the board for schools during the previous twelve months; said ieport to be accompanied by a statement certified by the officers of the board, of the average daily attendance of pupils during tbe annuel session, and the average expense, per capita -of their After this Is done, the statute makes It the duty of the common council In making up its budget of annual expenses, to Include therein the amount necessary to meet tlTe expenses of the school aa shown by such statement, with such additional allowance for probable increased attendance, and" contingent expenses as may seem lust and reasonable to the city council and to keep In good repair all schoolhouses and grounds belonging to the These are the provia-Ions of section 70 and 71 of act 81 of 1888, which la the law -tinder which this board was constituted. "In view of the fact that the committee on budget and assessment of the common council has presented to the public a draft of budget for public consideration and discussion, wherein the provision for the public schools is whoi-y inadequate, I deem It extremely Important that the report thus provided for should be prepared with the great-eat care and accuracy, and I would therefore request the chairmen of all committees naving the supervision of the disbursement of any funds to call thcr committees together at the earliest possible moment, and to send to the chairman of the finance committee a statement of the amounts which will be required by them for the purposes of their respective committees for the year 1837. It to evident that every exertion will be needed to obtain the means necessary to keep the schools open during nine months of the year and 1 would therefore nrgently request the chairmen of tbe respective committees to reduce their estimates to the lowest possible figures consistent with the welfare of iue system.

"Our estimated revenues for the year 1896 were placed at the beginning of the year at $359,500, to -which we shall be able to add about $3000, on account of Increased revenues from the state appropriation, thus making our revenues for the current year Whether or not It will be safe to add anything else to these figures will be stated to you by the committee on finance, but it will certainly require fuUy $20,000 additional to keep oar system, with the present number of schools, in operation for nine months, or say a total of $382,500. We shall have two new schools added to our system during the coming year, to-wit, the Jefferson Davis School. In the Third district, and the school on Jersey street. In the Sixth district. Twelve thousand dollars is a very conservative estimate for the increased expenses to be incurred by ns on account of these two new schools, and this would give a figure of $394,500 as the amount which we shell require during- the coming year.

"Past experience has shown that we cannot -with safety budget a- sum exceeding $215,000 out of revenues to be derived from the board of liquidation; that the poll tax will yield about and the state appropriation about $44,000. or a total from these three sources of $271,000. The only remaining source of revenue open to us Is the appropriation to be made by the city council. Unless the council finds it possible to appropriate $123,000 for our purposes, we cannot keep the schools open during the nine months in 1897, unless we be ableto curtail expenses In some direction, 7 and I must state frankly that -1 cannot see any reasonable prospect of being able so to do. do not Tefer to, or criticise, the flg-ores of the appropriations in favor of fmbllc education, which have appeared tbe budget that has heretofore been published In the newspapers.

I merely think it well that the acts should be laid before -yon, and-before the public. In order that they may receive the serious consideration and attention which they deserve. I hope and believe that the city council will use every effort to meet the emergency, dhi uuua i Impossible to do so, then I think it well -that- th rvmnio this cut should be brought face to face with the situation. and should prepare to meet it, ww atii-ntionsi convention meets in the spring of 1898. At- that time, If not sooner, the parents of the children who are suffering for want of adequate educational facilities will find it in.

their power to demand such a provision for the public schools as will forever set at rest the question (which now rise every niri nt the liaanacT of the If revenues. 'The" estimated revennes of the board for the year 1S82 amoun'ted to J16 15. The revenues for the year 1SJ amounted to an increase 01 oniy about 30 per In 1S82 the average trends nop. udo.i the schools was The average attendance for the month of October, 1806, was 25,414, an increace of nearly 67 per cent, it win unus ne seen how much more. ramU has been the in crease in attendance, and therefore the increased uaefulneo of the eystem than the Increase in the revenues providing for its maintenance.

"Much that 1 stated In this report is not new to you, but I bave thought it well to state the facts In a condensed and. I hope, in a clear manner, in order that they may be understool by the public."

The committe on finance next submitted Its report, which embodies that of the treasurer and afforded a partial solution of the difficulties confronting the board for the month of December. It Is as fol-lows I "The committee on finance In addition of date Nov. 1. showing expenditures to that date, balances required for the year and receipts up to date and balance available for remainder of 1896, beg to submit a statement snowing what the condition of the finances would be at the end of Dec. 31, 1890, without providing for the opening of the schools in December, which would be a balance available for tbe opening of tbe schools for about two weeks In December.

From the statement it will readily be een that in order to continue- tbe scnoois Tor tne enure month of December an additional sum in the neighborhood of would be re quired, xne oniy source irom wnicn a relief could possibly be expected would be from the city council. Your committee suggests that final action concerning the opening of the schools In December be deferred until tne latter portion or. mis month, at which time this board will know definitely whether any assistance may be expected from the city council, it being understood that the schools will be opened for about two weeks, should the necessarr aid not be fortncwinlnit. and for the full month, should the council ap propriate the necessary lunas.

If they had the proper encouragement, they could get money from the Louisiana National Bank. Mr. Kruttschnitt, answering the inquiry, eald that he bad had a talk on the subject with President Walms-ley and ascertained that funds were obtainable.

The committee on curriculum reported that they had considered the suggestions made by the normal and high school principals.

They recommended that the normal course of study be extended to fifteen months of actual school session. It would produce better material for school work. It was the course of other schools throughout the United States.
