Id. He moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Dobson asked whether there was any certainty to the legal position erf the Board as to whether Ihe Board had power to hand over their balance to the new Beard. The have no power to hand over the mousy.

The Bill in which we were interested was Id have been pessed on that fatal Budget night. Mr. Then how do we stand The There are two School Boards at present, and consequently a double expense is entailed on the ratepayers. Mr. motion was then put and carried, and a very sbsrt meeting closed.

THE NEW BOARD. The first meeting of the new Borough School Board was held at half-past seven. The first new member to arrive was Miss Florence Hunt, followed shortly afterwards by Dr. head-of-the-noll candidate of the election, and subsequently Mr. Conservative and the Rev.

March Timson, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Dick, the Rev. J. M.

Braithwaite. M.A., Mr. Malleson. Mr. Kestin, Mr.

Dobson, and Dr. Parsons Smith. The Rev. Dr. Roberts was not exjiected.

Mr. Healey was the only other member not present at the outset of the mestiag. Mr. Mallebon said be had the pleasure of moving, in accordance with precedent, that Dr. Klein, who was at the head of the pull at the late election, should lake the chair pending the election of a permanent chairman.

Mr. Dice seconded the motion, which was carried, and Dr. Klxik having taken the chair, thanked the Board for the honour they had done him. He went cm to aav that a paper had been placed in hie to the following 44 1 am instructed by the School Boanf of the pa Huh of Croydon to state that theyhave much pleasure in offering to the School Board lor the Borough of Croydon, the services of their clerk and inspectors, and of all their officers and teachers, and that they have also much pleasure in offering the use of their offices and schools until they can be legally Mjr. Doaaon interposing, said be thought the first bosinsM before the Board won the election of a peimwet chairman.

Dr, ooght not we to have a clerk to take Mr. the election of chairman and Dr. Kixin then asked if any gentleman had any pffipoflal to make on the subject of a chairman. The Rev. J.

M. Bkaithwaitk remarked that the present School Board had the good fortune to have a Don it two gentlemen who bad occupied the position of chairman of the Board, the Kev. Dr. and Mr. Malksoo.

The first-named gentleman had been chairman of Hoard for three terms of office, and the last named for part of one term of office. After Dr. retirement the office of chairman devolved, bv the unanimous vote of the Board, upon Mr. MaUeenn, and from the first meeting that gentleman waa elected chairman he devoted great attention to the week, and thoroughly mastered all the operations of the Board. He (the Vicar) therefore ventured to propose that Mr.

Maileson be elected the first chairman ofthe Borough of Croydon School Board. Ho considered Mr. Malleson had a very good claim on tbekr vote, first of all on account of his good Qualities. They all knew him as a man of culture, and he had mastered the details of the work of the Hoard, as well as the welfare of the Board most thoruugfalv at heart. Tn the opinion of the late Board conduct was distinguished bv oomieousnees and imimrtiality, and be hoped the Board would elect him to-mght in recognition of his excellent services in the past by a unanimous vote.

If any of those who disagreed with Mr. Malleson in politics were anxious about his Appointment, he could assure them that they would have nothing to fear from Mr. Mallesoo. On that Board was the custom not to follow the bad example of the Parliament, and to vote for party through thick and thin, but to settle every point from the highest possible ooint of view. If any gentleman disowned with Mr.

Malleson on any religious point, he (the Vicar) had no hesitation in saying that they had nothing to fear from Mr. Msuleson. He believed that from that gentleman's post conduct in tho chair and also from the present constitution of the Hoard, the (tulicy would be carried out of giving to the children as much religions instruction as was allowed by the Education Department in the Board Schools, and this policy all the more commendable and certain of the adoption of the Board from the fact that it had been that the more efficient the moral and religious training ol the children was made, so much the more efficient did the schools become in matters id secular education. He begged ft) that Mr, Malleson be elected chairman of the Board for the next three yean. Mr.

Bishop said ho. did not know whether it was r'te order that a resolution moved by a vicar uld be seconded bv a bishoo. (Laughter.) But if allowable he should nave pleasure in the resolution. To old Board Mr. Malieson was their trusted leader and valued friend, and became to the new Board with a good character from bis last place.

Mr. Malleson was an excellent chairman. His knowledge of detail was only equalled by his enthnsiasm for the work. If all the members in their several departments carried on their work in the epsrit of the Chairman, if they did not succeed they would certainly deserve to do so. Mr.

Dick, ra supporting the propoaition, stated that from his conduct in the chair, no one would be able Is find out whether he was a Liberal or a Conservative, a Churchman or a Nonconformist. Three being no other proposition on the subject, the motion wsa put and carried and Ihr. in vacating the chair in favour of Mr. Malleson, expressed his great pleasure at Mr. Malleaon appointment, and assured him of the assistance in his imjiortant work of every member of the Board.

Me. on taking the chair, said it would be affectation on his part if he did not confess the gratification he felt that the first School Board for the Borungh of Croydon should have so honourably and kindly elected him chairman. He had been a member of the Beard for more than 14 years. He had therefore served two apprenticeship to the work, and ought to be fairly well aware of what they had been able to do, and of the things they had failed to do. It would be a source of very great pleasure to him if he were able to asssst the present Board from the chair to carry on the work of this Board for another three years, constantly improving the condition of the schools, and constantly getting a little higher on the way towards perfection.

The chairman ought not to shrink from any work, and ought to be perfectly impartial, perfectly jatient, attentive, and courteous, as well as being able to farina a business caiwcity to bear on the important work before him. tie would nut promise the Board all these qualities in bis own case, but be would pnsnisr them that he should do his best. proposed the election of the Rev. Dr. Roberts as vice-chairman of the Board expressing a high opinion of Umigentlemans abilities and oervices.

Mr. Eaowx seconded the motion. Dr. ou the ground that the Board should pay attention to those who held a high on the poll, proposed that Dr. Parsons-Smith be elected vice chairroan.

Miss Hunt seconded. Mr. Dobsox considered it mould be a very great mity to ignore Dr. Robert services in the and (place in the vice chair some other gentleman who not claim to have any experience of the duties, flfbe fact of any candidate having a large numbtr of was not, he considered, a sufficient qualifiMtion iqr.a high office that If Aey con.idewd ghcrffumber of votes received they ought to go further smd how maor voters isdled in favour in Mdinidnal members. He supported the apjiointment si the Rev.

Dr. Roberts. ffr Jlkalkt also advocated the election of fehrrtg. He did notthisk the cstejispurs placed the eewbsrsAKi the Board to select for high office those whs stood highest on the poll, but that they were sent on In (tint dhMrd make the best selection could, "lf but Md exptrieocr. Dr.

The then arad the offer the old already mad by lir. Klein. the motion of Mr. Own, neconded by Mr. MW, (ran rmolrad that the tgtr be mvoiLAK ctannmoK or arratu.

OMMMh.fi is lbs ooWM oT as addraaa, re. that wm ia tko uagsUr pmtioa hftvinff two Boards for Croydon. The new Board had ret no schools or oMfiaU, but tber had been offered the use of their staff, otfleoa, and bnildiags by the old Board. An Act of rarliameot had been promised which shook) confirm the election of the bew Baafd, transfer aM the property to the new Board, and order that the bye-laws of the old Board sbould be in force with the new. That Bill was to have been introduced on the very day of the defeat of the Budget, and as it was uncertain whether the new Government would have time to pass that Bill through Parliament in the easuina short session, the property would all continue to belong to the old Board.

It was also Mapoasible, before the Bill was passed through Parliament, that the money in the bank under the control of the old Board could be Uansferredto the Borough account Therefore the unfortunate ratepayers would have to view £9,000 or £4,000 locked up in the bank, and would have to find another £9,000 or £4,000 for the purposes of the new Board. This unfortunate state of tniogs had arisen from no fault of anyone in Croydon, but was the result erf the policy of the Education Department Ihe old Board had asked whether they could nses over the money to the new Board, and the Department said they could give no information at all on the point Therefore the present Board were without 'ososmy ae well as without land and schools. They could, if they liked, elect to-night a clerk and inspector, and all officers and teachers, and divide the Board into committees. They could also resolve to meet again ia a week, and could then give orders for a precept for £3,000 to be issued on the Town Clerk. The Board could also take into consideration the new seal of the Board, the rules and n-gulations, and the bee-laws, which might be adopted and sent np to the Education Deiurtment for approval at onoe.

ntil they bad they could not prosecute any parente. a piece of information which was already widely known. Mr. Dice proposed that the Board should select the clerk and inspector, the treasurer and all the officers mentioned in the list submitted. On the suggestion of Dr.

Parsons Smith the motion was altered to one, that the clerk, and the treasurer the old Board be reappointed on the same terms as before. Mr. the clerk devote the whole of his time to the work of this Board 9 The Chairman said the clerk was under a contract with the old Board to devote the whole of his time to that Board, and it was not possible, therefore, for him to devote the whole of his tune to the new Board. It would still be necessary for him to devoto time to the old Board, but one salary would carry the work of both Boards. Pamionr Smith second'd the nomination of the clerk and treasurer, who were thereupon elected.

Mr. Knns proposed the re-election of the whole of the staff, consHting of the Huleiiup'-ctor (Mr. Turner), assistant clerk (Mr. Terry), Milicitur (Mr. Powell), surveyor (Mr.

Kidge), medical officer (Dr. Philpot), attendance officers, and all head and other teachers and cleaners. Dr. Klkih seconded the motion, and it was carried. It was also resolved That each of the head teachers be at tbe following rate annum for instructing their pupil teachers and candidates tailor thertrst; £5 for the second for the third and £3 for each additional one; that the teacher of drawing in each group of schools be (mid fm.

per head per annum for each pupil teacher and candidate instructed in drawing, and that such head teacher also receive the whole eranfc paid by the Science and Art Department, on behalf of tbe pupil teachers and candidates under his or her instruction and that Mr. W. Field, be jiaid 10s. per month, and Mr. A.

Thotn)isoii, be paid hs. per month for giving instruction in the theory of music and in smgiug to the pupil teachers and candidates in the service of the Board. CUICKET MATCH. The fourth Annual Match between Mr. J.

W. Cricket Club and the celebrated Orleans Club, took ukoe on Wednesday kai, and proved an unqualified suooeaa. It has now become so very popular that its aimimincemeat sure to draw a lartm concourse of spectaton, and Wednesday last proved no exception to the rule. Thai year the field of battle was upon the beautiful new Cricket Ground formed in Norbury estate recently purchased bv Mr. J.

W. Hobbs. Entering from the London-road, one immediately charmed oy the natural beautiea of the grounds, and the very existence of such a lovely and retired spot so near London surprising. Away on the right, stretching to Thornton Heath, are pleasant pasture lands, with the cattle lazily grazing thereon in front, the lake with its silvery surface so refreshing to the eye; whilst beyond and to the left the exquisite green foKage of trees uneauaDed for miles around, and amongst which one caught glimpses of Norbury residence of Mr. combining to add beauty to a scene that was completed by the white canvas of the tents and the large and influential company present.

The match itself, only a cricket enthusiast could properly desen lie. The rain of the early rooming had perceptibly deadened the wicket, and the knowing ones felt that whatever might be the prowess of the Orleans batsmen, the strength of bowling on the opposite side would be able to assert its superiority. This wee proved by the subsequent play. Several of the lords and gentlemen announced to play were unable to do so for various reasons, but Mr. Thornton had secured the services of several well-known and the team was still a strong one.

Unfortunately Dr. W. G. Grace, the champion, was kept at Brighton all day, and only arrived a few minutes before time was called, but very kindly relieved one of the umpires for a little while jest te show he had arrived. Of course he received an ovation.

The company included a large number of the leading gentry of the town and neighbourhood, the of Croydon finding than, amid hie arduous election, civic, and business avocations, to grace with kia presence the scene made so bright and gay by the energy of one of bis favourite Councillors. Mr. team won the toes and took first Innings, but so good was the bowling and fielding that came slowly. By degrees, however, the score was advanced to 71 with one wicket to fall when luncheon was announced. This was laid in the grand dining room at the Hall, and speedily received due and earnest attention.

At its conclusion the host (Mr. Hobbs) pose to propose the health of the Orleans Club and ita captain, Mr. C. I. Thornton.

Speeches at cricket luncheons are noted (or their brevity, still Mr. Hobbs contrived to bapmly show that the good feeling, esteem, and regard which had so long existed between employers and employed had been largely fostered and strengthened by friendly rivalry in the cricket field, and that this match in particular had done much iw this respect. Mr. Tbnratoo, in bis brief reply, expressed the hope that the good fueling would be strengthened year by year. He also stated that Mr.

enthusiasm for the noble g.wiif had mnch to do with brightening prospectsthis season, and he honed that other Urge employers would follow Mr. example. Needless to add that the health of the host was a bumper. Upon resumption of the game the last wicket was found to be a little troublesome to get, and it was only after another IS had been added that the Major (Gorman) was run out; the bowling of Mr. K.

M. Hadow having been particularly effective. In a few minutes Mr. team took the field. to howl and field their best.

So well did itowley and Wootton trundle the leather that one after another of the batsmen fell victims, and assisted by two splendid catches in the by Wootton, the whole eleven only obtained HO runs, much to the disappointment of the spectators, who fully expected a long stand and good scoring. Yet this victory for the builders was, of course, very popular. The innings only last three-quarters of an hour. The second of Mr. Hobbs' club realised a few more runs than the first, although the Orleans team put forth their utmost efforts, and at its conclusion they had net them the task of getting 141 runs, and only one play left in which to get them.

It was, of course, a forlorn hope, but an attempt was made. Mr. Thornton showed that he could still hit hard, but the scoring was comparatively slow, the bowling and fielding being still too good to take liberties with. Two wickets fell, and then time was announced and the drawn. The match was in every way an emphatic success, and, as usual, nothing had been neglected by Mr.

that could in any way tend to enhance the enjoyment of players and Music at intervals by the band of tlie Croydon Volunteers, excellent refreshments by the Croydon Hotels Company in fact nothing missing or left unthought of and we heartily congratulate Mr. Hobbs cm his well deserved success, and the splendid inauguration of the Norbury Cricket Ground, wdiich ill bo ere long one of the best, as it certainly is one of the most beautifully situate and picturesque grounds in the subuHiM of London.

The CMAIBMAN gave notice that at the next meeting it would be moved by the chairman of the Finance Committee that a be served on the Town Clerk for £3,000 fur the purpoees of the Board, to be raid in three of each, on the 25th June, 30th June, and 20th July. Mr. Dobmon wished to know what could be done about the large sum of money remaining in the hands of the treasurer, to the credit of the old Board, in the direction of getting it transfemd to the new Board.

It seemed to him that under the circumstances it might be possible to arrange with the bunkers for an advance to the Board of such sums as they might require during the next few months, instead of calling upon the ratepayers to find them an extra sura money. The Chairman said the matter should be folly considered before they met again. were many difficulties in the way, the being hindered hv the official on all sides. If Mr. Dobson suggestion could be carried out it would of course be most advisable.

If the treasurer honoured the cheques of the new Board he might find himself in a very unpleasant position. The Clerk pointed out that if the Board borrowed the money they would not be able to pay any interest for it. The diflcnnston closed, with a pmmiae that the matter Hhotdd be thoroughly considered. The Ituard then to divide itself into and at the end of the meeting it was resolved to meet again on Tuesday next. NEXT HKKS.

Norwood Safcti Birvci.t The club fixture for Saturday last waa KingnUm-on-ThameH, and aix members only turned up at head quarters for the run, which, notwithstanding the small party, was thoroughly enjoyed by them.

The WedMaday evening run (lith mot. 1 was, however, a great success, sixteen niembers jiarticinating in a most enjoyable ndo Um.ugh Croydon, Woodmaniit.Tne, Kaostead. andSutbin. At that well-known hostelrie the Ckick at Sutton the riders alighted for a refresher and for the purpose of comparing notes, as the pace hsd been Puerably fast for some of the young riders.

This is the third tune Mr. riiompson has ridden up this and most local riders will admit that it is not an easy one.

have had some splendid ridrsible weather this week, and we doubt not that the pedal-pushers of tins district have not faded to take advantage of it. ebber, the Isle of Wight flyer, who made such a wonderful entree inUt the racing world at the Crystal I ivlace and at the Urixton li. C. meeting, has been surpassing himself during the last taking the two miles record in 5 mm. 4 and it has been regretted by many that his entry for the one mile X.

C. li. championship at Aston arrived too late. Most people arc? of opinion, when a man leaves his work and goes cycling, that he has done toiling for some time. Hut that is quite wrong, for if scripture be true, he earns more when out on his machine than when at his daily avocations.

For does it not say that man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. And if, after a run of ten miles or more in June weather, he d.M»s perspire, well, well, well, he'll earn just as much ns if he did. Loxr, Distance Recouiw H. K. (toodwin, of the North left r.nd with Oxborrow at 3.45 a.ui.

On the 13th he rented at liridtfnorth (1,472 milea). near water, was reached at 10.40 a.in. on the 15th, making IJiOO miles in little more than 14 consecutive days, by (i p.m.

on the same day he reached Kxeter, to aleen at Ijauriceaton, or else ride through the night, and, all well, he should have reached Land Knd on Tuesday afternoon, in which case lie will have made the double niiles-m days, truly a wonderful ride. It possible that from Land Knd, Mr. (lisidwin may ride on to Ixmdon, which will make a grand total of 2,100 miles, which is, we think, the longest journey yet recorded. He rides a 40 in. light roadster racile, which has carried him well throughout this most trying ride.

Ample proofs have been taken, and many letters and telegrams sent. We noted a numUr of CroydonialU on the water at Kingston and Surbiton on Saturday last. All the ladies turned out in th-ir prettiest and coolest dresses, and the beautiful asnect of the country at this season renders a run to Surbiton, with a row on the river one of the most enjoyable of outings. On Thursday evening a large number of both the cycling and the general public assembled round Palace track to see Crose v. Battensbr ride for one hour on Rudge safeties for the sum of £l5 a side.

The fiair got off soon after seven and all the way through stuck to each other, first one and then the other being ahead, but never more than three yards between them. Had the wind dnamed from the start there is great likelihood of the hour soring 20 miles finished by either rider. But as it was the pair just managed to beat Howell's record of 45sec. for 19 miles, which he may at Leicester on May 2nd. when Battensby and Grose finished second and third respectively.

Grose eventually won by a foot, the full distance being 19 miles 215 yards in the hour, the time for the 19 miles being 59m. 41sees. RI'NH THIS HAT, C.C. to Croydon C.C. to Riverhead.
