Corunna Old Young Folks.Corunna, July 14. The triennial

meeting of the Corunna Old YoungFolks' society is being held Tuesdayat the home of Mr. and Mrs. ElonPond. An elaborate dinner was serv-ed at noon and the afternoon wasspent in talking of olden times.

The following from out of thecity are present: Mr. and Mrs. FredBetts, Mr. and Mrs. John Merrill,'Mr. and Mrs. John Carland, all ofDetroit; Mr. and Mrs. William Galeof Fowlerville; Tod Kincald ofCleveland and Mrs. Lucy Kemp ofPontiac.

Alonzo Griffin, county drain commis-sioner, was in the city Monday on busljness. Mr. Griffin is one of the busiestof Shiawassee's officials and has fullyproyen bis ability to handle the com-plicated duties of his office. One of hisgreatest difficulties comes from the factthat many of the contractors who takedrain work are not able to find menenough to push the work along as rap-idly as Mr. Griffin wishes it done. Hisexperience is similar to that of manyfarmers who find it impossible to inducethe idle men in the cities and villagesof the county to accept work. Despitethis drawback Mr. Griffin's record forthe year will show satisfactory results.

II. O. Whittemore, who recentlycompleted his course of study in thelandscape department of the Univer-sity of Michigan, returned Tuesdayfrom a short outing in the woods ofnorthern Michigan. He has accepteda position for the summer with aChicago firm and in the fall will be-

come an instructor in the landscapedepartment of the U. of M.

MEN ELECTED TRUSTEES

School Election Exciting Appropria-

tions Large bat Less Than Year

Ago Anti-Fr- at Law to

be Enforced.More than the usual interest was

shown this year in the annual electionfor trustees of the Union School Dis-

trict although the number of votescast was less than on several formeroccasions. The excitement was dueto the fact that among the six candi-dates two were ladies and that a largenumber of laides were out during theday working for one or the other ofthese ladies rarely for both whileothers opposed. both. And the ladiesdid pull strings, too, in the most ap-proved electioneering style. The pollbooks show that fully as many 'womenas men voted, yet neither of thewomen candidates were successful.Due to the terrific rainstorm a delayof a half hour was occasioned , in theopening of the polls but from 2:30 onto 8 p. m. there was no lack of interestand when the ballot box was finallyclosed few were willing to predictwhat the outcome would be althoughthere was a feeling that W. R. Good-

rich, whose term expired, and Dr. P.S. Willson would prove to be the win-

ners. This was shown to be true bythe report of the tellers, which gaveMr. Goodrich 275 votes, Dr. Willson28G, Dr. J. O. Parker 180, Mrs. MaudeC. Thompson 184, Mrs. Mana N. Kil-patri-

100, Rev. C. R. Wolford G3.

The announcement was greeted withconsiderable applause by both theladies and gentlemen present.

When President J. II. Robbins caled the annual meeting to order aboutforty people were present, several ofwhom were not voters. The readingof the minutes of the last year's meet-ing, the annual reports of the secre-tary, treasurer, auditing committeeand the budget to cover the expensesfor the coming school year took buta few moments' time, the reports wereaccepted and adopted. The budgetcalled $64,497.54,. the. sumpf $34,-00- 0

being ordered spread on the taxroll by a . ballot vote of 34 yes to2 no, the balance coming from pri-

mary - school money, tuition, backtaxes and various other sources. W.F. Gallagher and Dr. T. B. Scott actedas tellers. This amount is $3,500 lessthan the sum appropriated for theschool year which just closed.

A resolution offered by II. K. Whiteinstructing the school board to strict-ly enforce the state law against schoolfraternities was adopted by a unani-mous vote after it had been discussedat considerable length by Messrs.Hall, Robbins and Sutherland of theHoard, Dr. J. O. Parker, S. S. Miner,E. O. Dewey, II. K. White. The mem-

bers of the board expressed their will-

ingness and desire to carry out thelaw, the main difficulty being to deter-mine just what organizations arewithin the meaning of the law Mr.Hall made known the fact that Supt.Longman intended to compel highschool students to sign a card beforebeing admitted to the school next fallpledging themselves not to becomemembers of any secret organizationor club during the year. Dr. Parkergave a stirring talk in denouncingfraternities and clubs" and the ap-

plause he received showed in an em-

phatic manner the feelings of thosein the meeting.

A motion by Rev. C. II. Hanks tocut the school year from 40 to 38weeks, a plan which has been adoptedin some cities, was defeated by alarge majority.

Detroit Blue Ribbon Races.Present condition foretel large fields

and exceptional contests for Detroit'sannual midsummer carnival of speed,the Blue Ribbon races, which this year.will be held from July 27 to 31. Theentry in the stakes was the largest inthe history of the club, and the per-centage of horses on which third pay-

ments have been made also is the great-est, so the racing of these an-- i otherevents on the program should producesport of the sparkling sort.

While the Merchants' & Manufac-turers' and Chamber of Commercestakes are the centers of attraction, forthey stand unrivalled on the light har-

ness turf, the program for the BlueRibbon meeting is such that every daymay be spoken of as a bir day. Thereare from two to. three star races foreach of the five afternoons, theiefore ifa person is unable to be in Detroit onone day he will see just as good racingon another. This is a convenience tothe people in the state who make anannual pilgrimage to the Detroit meet-ing, and from the hotel reservations thenumber of visitors will be unusual.

Signs of the times point to this as thebanner year for the sport of the sulkyand the Detroit Driving Club may berelied upon to maintain the standardwhich has made the Blue Ribbon racesworld famous. The rebuilt mile trackis the fastest race course Detroit everhas known, and this with the earlinesaof the meeting and the freshness of thehorses probably will result in loweringall speed averages for the Blue Ribbontrots.
