The failure of the Pacific School Furnishing Company to comply with its contract to supply Washington séhoolhouse with blackboards, and to have them put up and completed by the last day of September, has led ‘the Board of Education to declare the contract void, It has been apparent for some time that the Pacific Company did not intend to abide by its bargain, as it has not up to this time got its material on the ground or furnished any evidence that it had attempted to do so. As a result an order has been given to C. F. Weber & Co. to supply the district with hyloplate, which is conceded to be the best blackboard in the market and is buta trifle more expensive than the Pacific Company’s. F. E. McNear, the traveling representative of Weber & Co., today made the necesSary measurements of the building. The blackboard will arrive from San Francisco about Monday, and will be all put in place next week. GRASS VALLEY NEWS.

Liver Tonic and ing the great reproduction of the Oorbett-Fitzsimmons fight on the Pacific Coast, was seen this morning by a TRANSCKIPT reporter. When asked how the reproduction was being received, Mr. Field said its success was phenomenal, and in each city or town crowded houses had greeted them; in many instances they had to turn people away. . The-greatinterest this contest originally had upon the public was ‘one of the reasons, and’ the wonderful scientifie achievement, which had for the first time demonstrated ‘to the world the possibilities of photography, was another: 4 ‘ , Mr. Field said that the greatest experts in this direction had claimed it wag an absolute impossibility to take moving pictures of greater length in time or duration than one minute, and ‘even to get a good view it _was necessary toarrange the object photographed so as to get the proper lights and shadows, etc., and Wve the camera close, to within 12 to 16 feet. In such a feature as ours all this was impossible. The camera had to be a hundred feet away in order to take in the 24-foot ring and the objects moving in the space of 24 feet,-but not withstanding all this the feat had been successfully accomplished. Mr. Field said the pictares were so realistic and perfect that there was but little difference in sitting in the opera house and viewing them, or being at the ringside. When asked about the attendance of ladies Mr. Field grew enthusiastic. “Why shouldn’t they go,” said he, “it’s the first time in the history of the prize ring when they can see and know just what takes place, that has so interested their brothers, husbands or sweethearts. Yes, sir, they are or have been & very large part of our audiences, and where we have played the second or third nizht they have been in a majority; in fact, in Portland, Seattle, Ta-. coma and Spokane they made it a society event, and came out in evening dress.” “ Mr. Field was asked about the carnival talked of for Carson City this fall, and he said that W. A. Brady was likely to hold one there; that he had Maher and Sharkey signed, and also one end of the McCoy-Creeden match, but that aeither hidself or “Mr-Stuart would have anything more to do with ring matters. Mr. Field said this machine and film was the twelfth outfit or production, and that after he had made a tour of the Pacific Coast with this outfit he would take it to Paris, France, where they were booked to open January 5th, and that Mr. Stuart would open at the same time in London with another outfit now being prepared. Mr. Field was asked if the fake machine advertising a fight film was injuring his business. He said it was not. If it had they would stop the use of Corbett or Fitzsimmon’s name, as they had the names, as well as the pictures, copyrighted. When asked if there was any chance for Corbett to meet Fitzsimmons again he said Mr. Stuart and himself chanced over $70,000 to get these pictures. Their chance seemed less than the possibility of drawing the capital prize in the old Louisiana lottery. Still they took the chance and won, and it was not likely they would leave the bars down for these same men to meet again within a short time and ruin the pictures by having another fight. “No, sir,” said Mr. Field, “they can’t meet again as we have the documents that prevent it.” Mr. Field said that alldisputed questions about foul blows and wrong counting on the part of the referee have been settled by these pictures, as the camera cannot lie. A Seasick Moan That Was Sweetest Music. The Kansas City Journal tells this: Ellen Beach Yaw, the phenomenal soprana, went on a yachting cruise re cently in Southern California. The waves grew high and she soon took to her berth. One of her friends, going to enquire how she was progressing, heard her humming a lullaby in a most peculiar tone of voice. Her maid came to the door and explained that Miss Yaw was sick. “Bot she is} singing,” the visitor exclaimed. “Yes, I know,” answered the maid, “but Miss Yaw moans in tune that way so it won’t disturb any one else.” Social Dance.

It is simply How a Rough and Ready Minor Escaped Two. Highwaymen. F. E. Gross, who is running a mine at Rough and Ready with Messrs. Schroeder and Torpie, had a narrow escape last Saturday from being robbed of a quantity of bullion by two highwaymen. He was driving to Grass Valley with a bar of gold and had nearly reached Greenwood Cemetery just below the town when he saw two mask: hold up Louie, the Chinese vegetable tune was published by the Transcript on that day. The robbers were so intent upon their business with the Mongalian that they did not observe Mr. Gross, who promptly faced about and hurried back to Rough and Ready. It is thought by some of the Rough and Ready people that the robbers were laying in wait for Mr.Gross when the vegetable peddler came along, and they thought they would improve their time by making a double haul. Their greediness cost them a pretty sum. They got only about $10 from the Chinese and lost several hundred dollars worth of bullion. A gentleman who was at the county seat today from that section says that Messrs. Gross, Schroder and Torpie have not yet quit congratuldting themselves and each other over their good luck, and Mr. Gross is the hero of the hour down there.
