School Committee.

<%i —— HaMPSTEAD. The monthly meeting of the Hampstcd School Committee w-is held last nigh'— there being prf sank Messrs Crooks (chair man), Orr, Blackier, Sage, Bickman, Mcaclem, Strange, Hendry, and Elliott, MASTER'S HErOKT. This document, which showed the aver age atlendance to be 322 8, an increase of 42 8 binci' last month, was adopted, and th« sfcieiary was instructed to apply to the Board for oertain baoka asked for. COKKESI'ONPEXCE. Correspondence was read from the Board of Education, enclosing extracts from the Electoral Act, 1893, in reference to the u;se of school rooms for election purposes From the same, stating that the clerk of works had been instructed to supply a filter for the use of the school. From the same, enclosing copy of reso lution passed by the N.Z. Educational Institute recommending the payment of salaries direct from the Board to the teachers.—The secretary was directed to reply that the question did not affect the staff of this school, but the Committee had no objection to the proposed alteration in the mode of payment, if it will benefit the teachers in other districts. From the same, notifiying that in future receipts for teacher's salaries will be exempt from stamp duty. DRAINAGE, The Hampstead Town Board wrote, stating that they intended to raise the side channel in Oxford street, and that the alteration would block the present drain from the school grounds unless it wore also raised. A long discussion ensued on this subject, and it was finally postponed for a month, as it was thought possible that a portion of the water about do be brought into the district might be utilised for flushing the drains. VISITING COMMITTEE. The Visiting Committee reported that the gymnasium bar had been repaired, and the premises generally were in good order. Messrs Blackler and Elliott were appointed a visiting committee for the ensuing month, and authorised to have certain utensils repaired and arrange for fixing the filter. CONC'EUT, The master, Mr Brock, reported that the children's concert had been a complete success in every way, and had resulted in a net balance of £31 9a 10.1. He sug gested that the manner of dealing with the money be left in abeyance until it had been ascertained how much will be required for prizes.—The Committee concurred in the master's view, and con sidered any surplus might be placed on deposit until required for the purchase of a piano, if that were resolved on. The Chairman spoke in high terms of the manner in which the master and all connected with the concert had worked for the success of the affair, and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Miss Bar clay who had officiated at the piano, to Mr and Mrs Button for present of ferns lrom Peel Forest, and all others who had assisted, and the Committee adj mrned.

"SKINNING THE LAMB."

(Received November 8, 12.30 p.m.) Melbourne, November 8 The bookmakers have skinned the lamb properly over the Melbourne Cup, al though the followers of Cripps' stables have been thrown in for close on £15,000. Young Crippp, who rode Tarcoola, is not quite seventeen years of ape. He won his first race at Moonie Valley, five years ago, bub Tarcoola is the first winner he has ridden at Flemington. Tarcoola is owntd by a Footscray hoielkeeper, named Dumphy, Cripps having secured him from Greenaway for three hundred and ten guineas, ( and leased him from the owner. It was a very lucky win, for with a stronger jockey up to steady him during the first portion of the journey Carnage must undoubtedly have beaten him, whilst Jeweller was coming faster than anything else when he got out. Oxide and Sainfoin were terribly km eked about, the former being fearfully gashed about the hind legs through being gal lopedon. Oxenham laid 4000 to 75 about Tarcoola in one hand to a brother penciller. Several of 'he jockeys express their convictions that Tarcoola won simply through a stout pace not being maintained during Hie earlier portion of the race, the first half mile of the journey occupying 53J sees.
