BOARD OF EDUCATION, The stated semi-monthly meeting of this Board was held last evening, with the President, Mr. R. L. Larremore, in the chair, After an anusnal amount of ordinary routine business had been disposed of the Committee on Evening and Normal Schools, through the chairman, Commissioner Bell, offered a Teport recommending that an evening school be opened in the butiding of No, 65, in the Sixteenth ward. The report was accepted and a resolution directing the opeving of such school was adopted. Commissioner Bell, from the same commutiee, offered another report advising the rejection of tie bids for the erection of a new high or normal school at Sixty-first street and Broadway. The advice of the committee was founded on the following reasons, which were strongly urged:—The sum appropriated ($100,000) Was too Staail to meet the cost, Which Was estimated at $130,000; the site selectet, being in the immediate neighborhood of Ure Boulevard, was too vaiuable for the purpose, and could be disposed of for a sum which would be sufficient to erect a build- ing of @ more economical Kind and in some more niting locality. ‘The Committee on Supphes, through the chairman, Commissioner Brennan, reported the amounts of the proposals made for furnishing the schools with fuel Jor the com! year. The proposals have aiready been published in the HERALD, and the price of the coal was so inordinately nigh ($5 26 average per ton) that Commissioner Smyth offered @ resolution directing that oniy one-third of the quantity bid tor should be contracted for at the present tune. The resolucion was adopted, 43 way also one offered by Commissioner Gross, directing that tie vacation commence on the 16th of July insi., and end on the first Monday in September. On motion of Commissioner Gross, the loc ficers of the Eleventh ward were directed to schools Nos, 6 and 36, inasmuch as the su Was raging in the ward. A resolution was adop thanking the trustees and teachers in the Eleventh ward for the precautionary measures they had ready taken in regara to the pupi's and ¢ the school officers and te uxe ali means to Ive the schools vaccinated. Commissioner Sands then offered a series of reso- Jutions calling upon the clerk to report to the Board at the next mecting all school builainga in this city now in course of erection or repair, with the esti- mated cost of the same; also all moneys paid teachers of the Freach and German languages; aiso ailmoneys that have been paid since the organiza- tion of the new Hoard; also the capacities oi x I houses im the First, Second, ! Sixth, Seventh and Kourteenta wards; and whetier | any of them could be consolidated. ‘The resolution were adopted, and alter some further routine busi ness tbe Board adjourned, THE GERMANS AND THE PUBLIC ScHDOLS. ‘The Executive Committee of the German citizens of the Ninth ward, the chairman of which is Mr. Hermann Schroeter, have made au arrangement with the Board of School Trustees of the ward to have a teacher of the German language appointed in the several public schools in the ward, and that whoever @ committee of Germans would recom. mend would be the appointee.

Explanation nnd Decision in the Columbia Yacht Club Regatta. The regatta of the Columbia Yacht Club, saile@ on the 23d of June, has been decided by the club no race, ag the yachts did not turn any stakeboat off Mount St, Vincent, on account of her not being there on time, The stakeboat was started from the cind house at ten A. M., and the signal was giver for the Meet to start at twelve M. Some of the con- testanta took the west shore and some the east. Awong the latter were the Ethalind, Rebecca and Betsey, When at Fort Washington they saw the stake beat abont half a mile ahead, and the concla- sion was on board the Ethalind that there would be no race, a8 there would be no stake boat to turn, thereby not complying with, the rules and regula tions, fhe trouble was astrong ebb tide and no wind at the time she started. The Ethalind, seeing the predicament, immediately attached a sand bag to a rope and threw it over the stern to tow alter; also dropped her peak, 80 as to allow the stakeboat to keep ahead, The Lillie, Gage and Onward beg on the west shore, did not see the predicament, and kept on their course, consequently arriving at the tarning point, and seeing no stakedoat, rounded up in the wind and started tor home with the favorable tide and a good, fresh breeze, t Lilie and Onward following suit—the Cage and Onward civtming the first and second prizes, ‘The owner of the Ethalind claimed that there was no race, on account of their not complying with the sailing rules and usages in all regatias and races, where it is understood a stakeboat — has to be turned at a given potni. Further- more, it did not give all the yachts @ fair chance to test their sailing qualities, where some were heid back while others were doing their utmost, The owner of the Ethalind wantea the re- gatta sailed over again to g nce, but the boats coming in first under the circumstances wou'd tit was no fauls of theirs that the stakeboat was not there, und the clab, rather than have any hard fee ter, took it out of the judge's hands and gave @ decision that it was no the prizes to the boats menticned tn te | the 2ith June:—E.
