G.. 299 NOTES. Sergt. King, a member of the Dakota team, did a wonderful thing yesterday at one of the halts during his skirmish run. Each halt is only fifteen seconds in dura tion, and it is considered tine work to get in six shots during a halt. Sergt. King manipulated his piece with such perfection that at the halt nearest the target he landed no less than ten shots in the target, and all of them into or close to the bull's-eye. His arm went up and down like clock-work, loading and tiring his piece without a false move, and averaging just one second and a half for each shot. This beats the manipu lation of magazine guns all out of time. The best magazine gun record is not more than twenty-three shots to the minute, ■whereas Sergt. King's average is exactly forty to the minute. If any one don't be lieve this is fast work let him take the or dinary breech-loading single-loading army musket aud try it for himself. Some marvelous jumps were made yes terday at skirmishing. Grayson, who was number one, fell to twenty-first: Sergt. Mayo, who was third, tumbled to thirty fourth; Stevens was fourth, but is now third; Lieut. Terry, Sixth infantry, was fifth but fell to fifteenth place; Pri. Teency, who was ninth, went to twenty-two, and Sergt. Nanjoks of the Fourteenth infantry, who was safe as number two, dropped out of sight altogether because he was shot in the foot, accidentally; Lieut. Sage went from sixteenth to second place; Ehrenfried, from sixth to first; Sergt. Crawford, from second to seventh; Pri. George, Twenty fifth infantry, from forty-third to fifth, and Lieut. Ilandfortli of the Eleventh infantry, from forty-fourth to fourth. The Dakota owls are screeching as Lieut. Handforth's and Pri. George's advancement are some thing altogether beyond marvelous. Lieut. Reed, Third infantry, senior range officer, has invented a system of diagraming skirmish shots as they are fired, which will be a very valuable addition to the records made of these annual contests. By this new method each competitor can tell just where his shots landed on the target at the close of each halt. It assists the marks men in improving their shooting and raises their percentage materially. Lieut. Reed should get a patent out for his happy idea. Lieut. Handforth, Eleventh infantry, made a remarkable score at skirmishing yesterday. lie scored no less than fifty four hits, among which were five bulls-eyes and thirty-one Inners. A shooter gwho can place only five shots in the bullscye, but thirty-one all around, may be out of luck, but nevertheless he is doing line shooting which a little good fortune might chance to change into a marvelous record. Lieut. Handforth stood third for the day yesterday and fourth on the grand total. Lieut. Reed, Third infantry, has been in charge of the rifle pits since the beginning of the shoot. All agree that he is the most efficient range officer for that specialty who has ever been at Snellihg. As soon "as a shot is challenged the re port comes promptly back without the slightest delay to the prog ress of the shooting. lie has inaugurated a system of his own which works better than any heretofore adopted. Private Ehrenfried, a Missouri man, tapped the team yesterday, lie is a splen did skirmisher and came near beating the record with his 20-1 points. Lieut. Goodinof the Seventh infantry,ho\vever. came two or three days ahead of him with a 204 which was the best ever made at skirmishing. Ehrenfried, however, has honor enough in equalling such a wonderful record. Col. Guy V. Henry, inspector of rifle shooting for the department of the Platte. arrived at Fort Snelling yesterday to look after the welfare of his team. He need have no fears regarding them, as the Platte contingent have been holding their own ex ceedingly well. Lieut. Goodin, who made the wonderful total of 204 at skirmishing a day or two ago. scored 170 yesterday. Unfortunately he broke the firing pin of his rifle early during the run, and was therefore compelled to try his hand a second time, with the above re sult. Missouri sort of took a back seat yester day, while the Dakotas put on their shoot *ing clothes and covered themselves with glory. Dakota's stronghold is the skirmish ing which after all decides more than any thing else who shall go on the teams. Yesterday was one of the very best on the range. The light was good, wind gen tle and steady, and the scores made were correspondingly good. It was altogether one of the very best shooting days ever seen on the Snelling ranee. At the close of the second days" firing but two of the twelve who were nearest the lop | on the first day retain their places. Ten of ! the twelve drop out entirely, Missouri losing | four and Piatte one, while Dakota gains four aud Texas one. The division shoot will come to a con clusion on Wednesday. Gen. Terry will then divide the dozen war department medals among the lucky twelve. Sergt. Weeks, Sixth infantry, medal man ! of the Platte team, stood eighteen yester day in the two days, shooting at fixed dis tances and at skirmishing. A CHAT WITH CHIXX. The Dual City to be Included in the "Western Circuit. Jack Chum is in the city leaded with j horse talk. -; At the solicitation of a Globe I renorter last night he unfolded a plan he j THE> ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, TUESDAY MOKNTNG, SEPTEMBER B,' lg£a TWELVE PAGES'. is urging to eive the Northwest turf facili ties equal to any point on the "Western cir cuit. To accomplish this end, he said, we have one of the best races tracks in the country. It is admirably adapted for fast time and will attract the best studs either East, West or South. He explained that in the Western circuit there are two weeks between St. Louis and Chicago which may now be utilized by turfmen on a splendid track. He continued; "When I was here last summer some of the leading turfmen of Minnesota canvassed the whole question and agreed that with the projected new track the plan was entirely possible, and now we are planing to carry it out. The remarkable record , made by Beaupreis ponies on this track has attracted wide attention, and it would not be difficult to secure the fastest steppers in the land on this course, if the Western cir cuit is extended here. Why. said he, warm ing up, his coal-black eyes fairly glittering with the spirit of the subject, to have St. Paul and Minneapolis admitted to the cir cuit would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Twin cities, as it would at tract great crowds of a class of men who spend their money lavishly. With the back ing of such men as Commodore Kittson and Charley DeGraff the success of the plan would be assured from the start. These gentlemen are heartily in favor of the pro ject, lam assured. They say they will con tribute their share in money and work to the success of the enterprise. I know I am willing to work hard in this behalf. I think these the livest cities within the range of my travels. They are coming to be regarded so abroad and I can cuarantee at least 200 horses. I know that when these cities engage in the enterprise it will be of the first class. Big money can be secured from the SALE OF POOL PRIVILEGES. I have talked this project up to the turf men of the South and they are heartily in favor of it, and the same is true of the East and the West. With these cities added, the Western circuit would be New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Lexington, Latonia. St. Louis, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago. The Eastern circuit would be Washington. Baltimore. Saratoga, Mon mouth Park, Coney Island, Jerome Park and Brighton Beach." The colonel then gave a glowing account of his own horses, speaking with especial pride of his Dalnacardoek and tearfully of the TRAGIC FALL OF PROMENADE at Sheepshead. Handy Andy and Flora J. he added, are at Sheepshead now and will go thence to Louisville alter the handicap. "I now have sixteen colts," he continued, "that lam proud of. Yes, I did well with Ban Fox; won 523,500 in stakes and then sold him for $20,000." And, with a grim smile he added, "I pulled the pool box a little. I am now devoted to the turf, which class of sports is becoming more pop ular every year. Of course. lam partial to a cocking main, and at Harrodsburg I have the best blooded and gamiest of game birds in the country and will back them against any combination of spurs and feathers that can be pitted against them." SCHOOL. ATTARS Considered by the iKsisectors—Soaiie New Xcaciicrs, A meeting of the board of education was held last evening. President Fogg in the chair. A communication from James 11. Daly as to his having to pay SO tuition for sending his boy from Fort Snelling^ was was referred to the superintendent and cor poration council to investigate and report. Supt. Wright reported that the city schools, with the exception of Gorman, Irving, Cleveland and Douglas schools, were opened yesterday with large attend ances. He visited the schools at Hamline and Merriam Park, and found that as jani tors had not been appointed, the school houses were not in condition, and the schools dismissed until to-day when every thing will be in order. The report was ac cepted. The committee on fuel and janitors rec ommended that John &Egan be appointed engineer at the high school; also that E. H. Hunt be appointed janitor of the St. Anthony Park school, Thomas 11. Prince janitor of Merriam Park schools and Mr. Stanley janitor of Hamline school. It was further recom mended that the janitors of the Douglas and Gorman schools be placed on duty to day. With the exception -of the recom mendation for the appointment of a high school engineer the report was adopted. On this matter somcj discussion arose over Inspector Gilbert's demand to see the other applications. A motion to adopt this section of the report was lost on division, the board voting as follows: Yeasln spectors Horman, Athey, Curtis, Ilass, Mr. President— Nays—lnspectors Minor, Williams, Ellis, Gilbert, Schiffmann — The report of the committee on real es tate was the subject of a lengthy discus sion, and aftet a number of resolutions the board went into executive session and adopted those parts of the report on which the committee had not been empowered to act. The other sections ;:ccording to power previously entrusted in the commit tee and on the ruling of' the chair were necessarily accepted. The question on which dispute arose was about accepting the highest bid for the contract for placing a. boiler in the high school, instead of the lowest as is usually done. The com mittee explained that they had asked for explanations from the several bidders, and the parties to whom the contract was awarded were the only ones who had com plied with the request. THE REPORT was as follows: The contract for construct ing vaults and closets for the Sibley school was awarded to A. C. Bowham, the low est bidder, in the sum of SSS7. The contract for the boilers and engine house, in rear of high school, awarded to Frick & Geib fors:yj!)3. The contract for removing and resetting old and furnishing and setting up in com plete working order one new Otis steel boiler awarded to Rogers & Davis for the sum of 81,500; this at high school. The contract for furnishing and setting up, in complete working order, one ten horse power engine capable of performing its functions with twenty-five pounds of steam, to Rogers & Davis for $300. They designated proposal N0.,1 of the same linn as the. proper one. and accepted bids for the steam apparatus for the Wash ington school as follows: Two Otis steam heaters 2,455 Ventilators 400 Total S-2.945 The contract for constructing sewer for the Neill school, and for sewer and water connections for the Webster and Lincoln schools in the total of 3470, was awarded to P.

The change of grade on Western avenue leaves the Monroe school grounds below grade. John Nevins has been employed to construct an area wall and basement window for the sum of £180. Rogers & Davis were directed to provide a steam-stack for the Washington school at 575. The ventilation system of the Chicago Ventilation company was placed in charge of Mr. Barrett and the contract ordered to be drawn in the sum of 5i,415. THE COMMITTEE OX SCHOOLS submitted a report recommending the fol lowing transfers: Miss C. W. Blackman from Franklin to Merriam Park school, and in conideration of taking charge of reports, she be allowed So per month extra. Miss Barbara Clark from Madison to Merriam Park school, Miss C. Morcott transfer: ed to first grade of the Madison school, Miss J. Sullivan to second grade of the River school, Miss Alice McGuire from the Humboldt to first grade in the.

It was further recommended as follows: That a sixth grade be opened in the Sibley school; that neither German or drawing be taught it the newly acquired schools at present; that rules of the board in regard to text books be not enforced in the above schools as to classes already formed, but that all new classes be required to use the same books as are used in the other schools of the city. That the salary of the princi pal of the Cleveland school be increased 3100 over the regular schedule. The report was confirmed. Inspector Williams moved that the com mittee on insurance be requested to submit a tabulated statement of insurance on all school buildings, etc., at the next meeting of the board. The resolution was seconded and adopted. The usual number of bills approved by the respectives committees were ordered paid. A bill of the Pioneer Press charging $14.40 for an advertisement which the ; Globe had inserted for 53.72 was referred i to a special committee to investigate. . ' Inspector Minor reported that the present sewerage of the high school was bad and imperfect. Ho moved that the committee on real estate be empowered to make a new connection with the Minnesota street sewer. Motion adopted. Board adjourned. CSSAIGIISJEB OF COXim£iSCB. Amendments to tlis Ky-lavrs»»»Sn crease off Membership. The board of directors of the chamber of commerce held a meeting yesterday morn ng that was rather longer than usual, but ! The business transacted was mostly confined ! to a consideration of the by-laws of the j chamber and the changes to be made in the same. Of course the matter is not of special interest to the general public. The result, briefly stated, of the business done is as follows: THE CHANGES MADE. Heretofore the memberships to the cham ber were limited to citizens of St. Paul. An amendment was adopted to the effect that any gentleman of a reputable charac ter not a resident of the city may, upon \ recommendation of the board of directors, | become a. member upon the same conditions as if a resident of the city of St. Paul. Heretofore the board of directors has consisted of forty-two members. By the amendment to this by-law the members of the board were increased to sixty members, forty-live of which are to be chosen from the perpetual members and fifteen from the annual members, and the additional mem bers of the board of directors thus provided for shall, for the current year, be elected by the present board of directors. An amendment was proposed to the effect that all ex-presidents of the chamber of commerce and any person holding a per petual membership who shall have served as a member of the board of directors for ten years shall be honorary members of the board. This was not adopted, and the hon orary members are therefore still confined to ex-presidents of the chamber. In this con nection a proposition was made that the honorary members should have a vote, but this was lost, and in this connection Presi dent Sanborn said that he should rule that no honorary member had the- right to a vote. The amendment in regard to committees was adopted, and all of them will stand as folows: Executive committee of 15, of which the president shall be ex-ofiicio chairman; prop erty and finance, 5, of which the president shall be ex-oflicio chairman and the treas urer a member; mercantile, 5: manufac tures, 5: legislation, 5; transportation, 5; Mississippi river, 7; streets, - roads and parks, 5; health and sanitation, 5; build ings and lire department, 5; taxes, county and city officials, 5; statistics and corre spondence, 5; nominations, 7: reception, 7; state fair, 7: auditing, 3. Nearly all these committees have been increased from three to live. The general improvement and the market house commit tees were struck out entirely. The duties of all the committees remain the same as heretofore, except those of the committees on property and finance, which are modified as follows: This committee shall "take charge of the building and all the property and finances of the chamber, subject to the board of directors, to whom they shall re port from time to time as required." Another amendment was made to the by laws, as follows: In the introduction of new business, all resolutions shall be in writing, and, unless otherwise ordered by a two-thirds vote of members present, shall be referred, without debate, to the appro priate committee, and all reports of com mittees shall be in writing. MISCELLANEOUS. While these different changes and prop ositions were before the board there was a long discussion especially as to allowing honorary members to vote, but this would be of no interest to the general reading public. The resignation of Gustav Willius was referred to the nominating committee. Mr. Ingersoll, from the committee on nominations, reported a list of proposed members of the board. This matter was also discussed for some time, when Mr. Delano rose to a point of order to the effect that the act of incorporation required that the board of directors should be elected by ballot by the whole chamber, and that the additional members could not be elected by the present board. The members at once saw the point, and Mr. Ingerst>ll withdrew the report. A resolution offered by Mr. Stone to the effect that the chamber request ail the busi ness men of this city to close their respect ive places of business at noon on Friday, thus affording their employes an opportun ity to attend the fair, was adopted. SrKEABISG the gospel,. St. Paul Presbyterians Preparing- to Aid Use Weak Churches. Last evening the Presbyterian Home Mis sionary society of St. Paul held a meeting at the Central Presbyterian church. This organization, it is well known, is for the purpose of assisting the general Presby terian work of establishing small churches and organizations in the outskirts of the city. The meeting was well attended, and much interest was manifested m the work in hand. REPORT OP THE SECRETARY. The following report of the secretary, Mr. Joseph McKibben, which was adopted, gives an idea of the nature of the work of the organization: The St. Paul Presbyterian Missionary society had its origin in the St. Paul Pres byterian alliance, an organizatian composed of the Presbyterian ministers and elders of St. Paul. The alliance was organized in the fall of ISS2, and at the first regular meeting of the executive committee it was resolved "that the subject of "Mission Fields" be the first order for regular meet ings of the alliance." The feeling was general that our denomination had not kept pace with the progress of our city. Plans were considered from time to time in the meetings of the alliance as to the, best method of starting and sustaining churches in the new and rapidly populating districts. Our missionary society was gradually evolved. Articles of incorporation were made July 14, ISS4, and filed with the reg ister of deeds April 23, ISBS, 500 of stock having been subscribed for during the interim. The first funds received were applied in the payment of an old debt (amounting in principal and interest to $-3,117.55, assumed by the Presbyterians of the city and guar anteed in the form of a note by some few of 'our members,) incurred in connection with the starting of what is now the Day- ! ton Avenue Presbyterian church. Five j hundred dollars was next promised to the Merriam Park Presbyterian church. A portion of this has been paid by the treas urer, as stated in his report and the balance has been advanced the church by a "man of faith," allowing the society to respond more liberally to the urgent calls from other churches. ' At a meeting of the board of directors held May 22, 1885, it was resolved that it i 3 our intention to pay $2,000 to each of tho following churches: Fort. East, Ninth and Westminster, as soon as we are able. That we expect to pay each of them 81,200 within one year from this date, with the understanding that any indebtedness in curred by these churches must be met out of their own resources, and that the several churches bo notified of this resolution. In anticipation of this resolution the East church has purchased lots for its building, and, encouraged by it, tho others have alt since secured eligible sites. When the al liance was organizad there were four Pres- . byterlan churches in St. Paul. There are now nine. Nourished by.this society these new churches will soon become self-sustain ing and in time furnish their quota to future mission work. At the formation of this society it was understood that of the 810,000 stock to be issued the House of Hope church would take So.ooo, the Dayton avenue church. $2,500, and the Central church, 62,500. The Cen tral church has cared for its share, and it is hoped that energetic action will be taken on the part of the other churches to have their respective amounts sub scribed. The total number of stockhold ers Is less than one hundred and fifty, showing that a thorough canvass of our people has not been made, at least success fully. No plan more thorough and system atic and continuative could be suggested for tho upgrowth and the outgrowth of Presbyterianism in St. Paul. In this day distinctive denominational work is deemed by many to be narrow and unworthy of exalted energy. If our ulti mate aim be the praise of Presbyterianism we fall far short of the mark set before us, but if we are striving to strengthen and to spread our organization, that the kingdom of God and His Christ be built up. the charge of narrowness will not lie at our door. Each of us for America, and Amer ica for the world. ELECTION OP OFFICERS. The following are the officers and direct ors elected: President, Wilford L. Wilson; vice president, William B. Dean; secretary, Joseph McKibbin; treasurer, Charles P. Noyes; directors, George L. Becker, Will iam T. Donaldson. Charles H. Bigelow, R. 31. Newport, D. W. Ingersoll. Various matters were talked over, and finally it was determined to raise the $3,500 referred to in the secretary's report that is the last of the 810,000. JfORTHWESIEKS NOTATIONS. Jud La Moure is in the city, aud reports that the wheat crop is not quite so good either in volume or quality as had been hoped for, but that better prices would probably compensate the produders for that. While money was not plenty, people in his section had learned to live within their "means by a curtailment of expenses. •_* Quite a group of Montana gentlemen are in the city urging closer relations between their people and St. Paul. Among these are Martin Maginnis, C. A. Broadwater, Senators Tucker and T. G. Merrill, and a strong delegation it is. They should be en couraged in every possible way to further their earnest and well directed efforts. St. Paul Public .Library. The board of directors of the St. Paul public library held their regular meeting for September yesterday afternoon, at which were present Directors Ramsey, Carver, Pond, Auerbach and Wright. An amend ment to the by-laws was adopted, requiring books to be drawn and returned between the hours of 9a. m. and Bp. in. The presi dent of the library board was requested to ask of the city a tax levy that will give the library fund the same amount that was raised last year. The library committee was authorized to have finding lists printed Of the books that have been purchased dur ing' the past six months. The librarian's report for August gave the number of books issued for home use: History and biography, 314; voyages and travels, 150; art and science. t)9; poetry and drama, 65; miscellaneous, 227; liction, 8,800; for use in reading 1 i-ooin on week days, 208; for use in reading; room on Sundays,G(i; total, 4.435. Average number of Sunday visitors, 75; new registration: males 72, females 91: total, 4,52 a. Huceived from delinquents, $43.93; for 1 lost book, §1.25. Oifts—War of tho Rebellion Records, vol. 12, part 2, from Hon. W. D. Washburn; report for 1888 from Smithsonian institute. TJlasous ami the Court House. The court house commission met yester day afternoon aiul after allowing estimates on the new court house to the amount of 517,300, went into executive session upon the subject of laying the corner stone under Masonic auspices. There has been consid erable comment by persons opposed to se cret societies upon the action oi" the commis sion in deciding to give the ceremony in charge of the Masons, and it is not unlikely that their action will be reconsidered. As is well known, the Masonic order is exclusive in performing public ceremonies, and does not engage therein unless affairs are di rectly under their charge, the order engag ing iv no public displays unless tinder their auspices. Those opposed to the plan of al lowing the Masons to placejthe stone argue that the building is paid for by the taxpay ers of all classes and shades of opinion, and that therefore tho corner-stone should be laid with such ceremonies as are least ob jectionable to a large proportion of the peo ple and such as are of a more general char adter. The board wrestled with the all-imp ortant topic for more than an hour, and finally postponed action thereon until a meeting to be held on Monday next. Rciicf for Fouadliuirs. About twenty-five of the most prominent ladies of St. Paul met in the parlors of the Relief society's building yesterday after noon, to discuss the best means of estab lishing an asylum for foundlings. Mrs. E. Rice was chosen chairman and Mrs. W. A. Edgerton secretary. Two propositions were discussed by the meeting. The first was made by the ladies of the Protestant orphan asylum, which offered a wing of of their institution for a foundling asylum. The orphan asylum would furnish the build ing, heat, furnishings, etc.. if the ladies or city would furnish tho other necessaries, nurses, food, etc. The other idea was to establish a separate institution. The senti ment of the meeting was divided on the subject. Alter a general discussion it was decided to name a committee to confer with City Attorney Murray and ascertain what help might be received from the city coun cil. Another meeting will be held Wed nesday, Sept. IC, when the result of the committee's visit will be made known and a definite course decided on. IVlillitia Rifle Practice. The following order to the Minnesota NrUicnal guards has just been issued from the adjutant general's office in regard to rifle practice: First—The annnal competition between reg imental rifle teams, provided in regulations for rifle practice, will take place at the United States range.

At the brand, The number of Roland Reed's admirers in St. Paul is very great, judging from the crowd that visited the play last night, and from the shouts of almost continual laugh ter that flouted through the house. The play is "Cheek," with which we are all fa miliar and like so well. M?. Reed has im proved the company very much since his last appearance here. "Cheek" will be re peated to-night and to-morrow, and "Hum bug" will be given for the remainder of the week. B. S. Crane, who represents Lotta, is in the city. His star will occupy the Grand the early part of next week. Will Open To-ISisjlit. The St. Paul museum will open on.Tues day night in the Exposition building on Fourth street. It was announced that this place of amusement would give its initial performance last night, but the delay of the workmen in preparing the room has necessitated the postponement This class of performances have proved a a great success iv cities where the museums have been established, and as St. Paul has been included in what is called the "West ern circuit," there is no question but what amusement seekers will find in the St. Paul museum all of the attractions which are ex hibited in like places of resort in other cit ies. GL.OfifUJL.ES. Internal revenue collections yesterday were Si, 723.60. The street inspectors receive their monthly salaries to-day.

Workmen commenced yesterday, imme diately after the adjournment of the meet ing of the board of directors of the cham ber of commerce, to put in the gallery. It is expected that it will take about one week to finish it. and it is hoped that when the gallery is in place that it will prevent the echo that is so objectionable. Persons living near the site of the old gymnasium, burned some time ago, on West Seventh street, object to the nature of the building that is now being put up. It is said that a permit to erect about the same sort of structure as the old one was refused by the building inspector, and now what is termed a "wigwam" is being put up. Capt. Burger has received a requisition for fifty stand of arms from Fergus Falls, and is preparing to send them forward as soon as possible. The company at Fergus had a stand and was fully and well equipped, but about a week or ten days ago their armory took fire, and burned out everything the company had, including the new uniforms it had just received, and had never worn. As the location of the fair grounds is without the city .limits, it was necessary yesterday morning for the several police men who were sent out on duty there to re ceive the oath from a justice of the peace of Rose township. The same justice will establish a police station and court room on the grounds, where any persons arrested will be taken and tried. The matter will probably be a considerable source of revenue for the lucky township. Mat Shortall. chief of police of Stillwater, came to St. Paul from Faribault last night having in charge Win.
