tho sights of the city. Iu one of tho places
visited two Italians were furnishing muilc,

quartotto of visitors. "Aro they good
players?" asked Conry. "Groat," was tho
Senator's reply. "Ask them to play the
Spanish fandaugo," suggestod Coyle, who has
a slight attack of the Eulalie fever which has
swept New York. Tho Senator found tho
Italians could not play tho tuno and asked
for another EUggostion. Mr. Gallagher named
tho "Marseilles," which hit tho mark, for
tho Italians nodded lu tho atllrmativo when
asked If they could play it. While the
musicians were tuning up thoir instruments
thoy sized up the Shenandoah rounders with
sly sido glances and whispered to each other.
"Ready I" exclaimed tho Senator, as he saw
tho Italians brace themselves for tho chargo.

tho board, but probably thoro will not bo
more than ono chango In the officers.
Tho old term oxpiros on Monday night,
noxt, nnd on that night a meeting will bo
held iu tbo Superintendent's olUco to finish
up tlio business of tho old board and organize
tho mombers holding over and those who
were elected at tho last Bpring election . "
Tho members who will retire will be

and William Bachman, of tho Fifth.
Messrs. Patrick Conry, of tlio First wardj
Daniel Ogden, of tho Second, and William
Trezise, of tho Third, will bo sworn in again
by reason of their re-election.
Tho gentlemen who will bo sworn in and
tako seats on tlio board for tho first timo will

Mauloy, Fourth, and Davltt, Fifth. This is
a Democratic gain of two, and will leave tho

There has not been much talk about tho
election of officers of tho board. Tho Citi
zen members havo not bothorod their heads
about that part of tho organization because
thoy aro hopelessly in the minority, and tho
naming of any ono in that party for an ofllco
will be a mere matter of form.
So far as the Democratic mombers are con
cerned, they appoar to bo perfectly harmoni
ous and will bo a unit on tho organization.
that tho officers will bo elected without any
ado. Messrs. Conry and Hauna will no doubt
bo re-elected to tho respoctlvo positions of
president and secretary. Tho only chango
will be in the troasurership. It is said P. J.
Forguson will bo elected to succeed Mr.

No election of teachers will tako place on
Monday night. Tho school rule requires that

This rule will no doubt bo followed this year.
