The Ohio Racing Circuit has an•nounced its program for the season, which commences ,at Hamilton, June 29, continues at Dayton, Zenia, Springfield, Lima and Findlay, and ends at the latter place on August 5.

Dakota scored 48 points, Nebraska 47 and Morningside 36. The New York board of education has decided that too much athletics for school girls is unwise. Acting on the recommendation of a committee of women, the board has ruled that school girls have no business to run more than fifty yards, nor should they try to be hurdlers and broad jumpers. ,
