At 7 o'clock a Bmall boat was Bent to the llehtshlp off Blunt's Reef, In order that any As the time draws near for the great Fast prize weather contest, entries are pouring In and there is already assurance that between October 15 and November 15 the United States Weather Bureau, Forecaster Emery, Its local orsoniflcatlon, and the weather itself will get such a Jolt as it has never had since Noam predicted the forty days of rain and built him a houseboat to keep things from getting drowned. F.

R. Fast, LL.D., corporation lawyer, of 97 Nassau street, Manhattan, Is the man who has arranged to give official prognostication Its coup 'de grace. He has "set aside" $100 for the man, woman or child who Bhall con-e nearest to the weather for New York City and twenty-five miles around for thirty days, beginning at 12 midnight, October 14-15. The only condition Is that tho rrophet shall forecast the weather before It happens. Mr.

Fast has no use for post-mortems. He wants real, live prognostications. No one Is barred and the only test for anybody or anybody's system Is Its success. "I don't care whether the winner reaches his result by consulting the stars, or consulting a rheumatic toe." Mr. Fast said today.

"A calculation based on the behavior of tree toads or water bugs is the same to me si one bused on astrology as old as the cuneiform inscriptions. If any person can go Into a trance and see ahead so much the be ter. If another can mako the weather follow his or her chart by prayer or by concentrated thinking that one has a fair, open chance for my $100. My motto Is that of President Roosevelt, 'a Bquare deal to with the one condition that the predictions must reach me before the weather reaches New York. "I have received about 700 letters already from prophets all over the country.

They are very enterti lning. Each one has a different system and the writers are all certain ot winning the prize. They may be roughly divided into three classes: "1, the supernatural, which Includes astrologers, clairvoyants, seers, new thought disciples, Divine Providence believers and others who look for inspiration to some source not open to the rank and file; 2, the natural, which Includes the sun prophets, moon prophets, land prophets, water prophets, sky prophets and government method prophets; 3, the special token, which Includes all those who rily on corns, bunions, warts, ltchins ears, cats' noseB, rabbits' feet, opals and other Jewels, water bugs and other vermin In fact, any and all the thousand end one devices which they believe give them Inside information. "I have not Included the cranks who write me unintelligible letters or say that the prize is already theirs. There aro thousands of them and they have demanded from me every Imrgluable thing from new shoes to a trip abroad.

"I make no pretences myself. I would so far as possible efface myself. I am an amateur farmer, but first of all I am a lawyer, a corporation lawyer. I am gaining nothing from this contest, except Information. This one thing 1 know, that the government predictions are more than half wrong, and that the farmers and fishermen can beat them badly.

If the right of way over tho tracks of the Long Island Railroad could be secured, facilitating and expediting the work, it was his opinion thai, the- work would be completed In eighteen months.

The association has been stirred to what almost nay be called aggressive vigor, and a mass meeting of the residents of the section will Bhortly be called, if more reasons for the delay of the subway are not soon onered by city officials.

It Is concerning the controversy begun early last spring by I-ark Commissioner Michael J. Kennedy, opposing the construction of the suoway, with tho plea that the construction of the Flatbush subway, if carried out along the planB already approved by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and the Rapid Transit Commission, and satisiactory to the Inter-borough Company, would cause the destruction of many oi the trees under the jurisdiction oi the i-ark Department. From the very beginning, the Inter- stations would be erected between Church avenue and the beaches. The stations for elevated trains would be placed centrally and raised, while those for the trolleys would be outside the trackB and lower than the other stations. He promised that any damage done to adjoining property would be repaired.

A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Klapp and to George W. Tlllson, chief engineer of highways, who delivered an Illustrated lecture on the nature and occurrences ot asphalt In relation to pavements.

Shortly before midnight the Vanguard crossed the bar and landed about fifty passengers. Captain Randall and the ships office were on the Vanguard. A many passengers as can find accommodations will continue the voyage to Portland on the steamer Alliance, which will sail from here for the north this afternoon. The Alliance cannot carry all.

however, and arrangements for the remainder will be made. Captain Randall and the masters of the Ranger and Vanguard consider the St. Paul a total wreck, both ship and cargo. It had aboard 1.100 tons of n-lscellane-ue freis-ht. The women passenge-s suffered much from exnosure and a number of them fainted when they realized their peril.

The association thinks that some day it will be instrumental In securing many needed improvements. The association now wants better lighting on the viaduct over Prospect avenue at Seeley street and adopted resolutions demanding that the oity provide tho district with more lights.

ai.d uuoBis of the Matbusu Association aa beeu t.uiiiis assiuuousi in an euort to ukmb lue 0ui6ci.iuus ot tho para coiu- Interesting Exercises at Meeting of the Toung People's Union of Brooklyn. Up-town church conditions are getting to be hard tor the pastors of a number of important churches to solve. The hardest problem Is to know Just what to do la the ace of the fact that the p'pulatlon la chang. lng and the best members, or, at least, those who contribute liberally to the support of the churches, are moving into the suburban localities and even out of the borough. There has been a rumor In circulation tor some days in certain localities that the Throop Avenue Presbyterian Church was to be fold for a synagogue.

Just at present, at any rate, there is nothing further from the truth. This church owns a beautiful property at the corner of Wtl-loughby and Throop avenges, which Is entirely free from bt. and notwithstanding the changing conditions of the population, Dr. Lewis Ray Foote, who has been the paBtor for thirty-two years, said this morn-ins that the matter of sejling bad not even been thought of. Some, of the officers of the church.

Nr. Foote said, had been approached with reference to selling the Throop Avenue Mission, between Ellery and Hopkins street, with the idea he believed, of turning It into a synagogue, but this matter had not even been considered in a meeting of the Session. The property of the Ihroop Avenue Church Is put down at a valuation of $100,000 and It Is cot likely U.at any change In ownership Is to take place. The property of St. Matthew's P.

E. BJturoh. which some time ago merged with the Church of the Epipnany, Tompkins ave-uo and McDonou'h street, and left the church at 'ihroop avenue and l'uiaskl street on the market, has not yet been disposed of. A contract was signed not long ago for its sale, and the deeus were about to be handed over to a man wiio proottbly intended to buy it witn the idea 01 erecting an apartment house, but somebody tOid n.m that it could be bought fur much less and ho repudiated his oucir. Tho rector of the church, the Rev.

F. W. Korris, said this morning that there was an inference in the miud of the busybody that Alexander Henderson and blmBelf, who have absolute charge of the property and its s-posal through a voU of the vestry, were trying to make the deal profitable to themselves, which, he declared, was ridiculous. The property will be sold for the best price obtainable and the funds used for the carrying on of the new work, when obligation! are met. The minimum price set, according to report, at which the property could be sold, was which Mr.

Norrls also declared to be ridiculous, when $25,000 had several times been refused. The frame church Is not considered to bo worth anything, the situ alone being held above $25,000. It Is understood that the sale above referred to was repudlaied because tho buyer had tho false notion that he was being done out of his price being $20,000. Many Improvements are Delng made on the old church of tho Epiphany, a name which is now Ii'st to the dioceso for the reason that Bishop Burgess would not glvo his consent to the name of the Church of St. Matthew, and the Epiphany, for the reason that it was against canonical law to name a church for a church fostlval and saint.

The lte Rev. Dr. Richmond Babbitt wanted the name of the Epiphany preserved. The property of Ihe Prlphany was found be In a very bad condition, Mr. Norrls said this morning, and workmrn are now engaged in cleaning out the cellar, renovating the building and otherwise making it more churchlike.

In the opinion of tho new veBtry. When the nudltorlum was built by the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, ttndir the rastorate of the Rev. Dr. Geo. go F.

Pentecost, the seats were arranged In amphitheater form, and this arrangement was continued during Ihe terms of all the rectors that have officiated there since It was bought for an Episcopal church. This Is not agreeable to the present rector and his officers and the floor will be lowered and the seats put In straight lines In order to be more ecclesiastical and worshipful In the opinion of those now having the church In their keeping.

There were present Mrs. E. M. Sou-vlello, of Jacksonville, and Professor A. J.

De Voe, of Hackensack, N. both rrophets of high standing in their own countries. Their theories are as different as night and day. Mrs. Souvlelle has predicted wlthsuccesB for many years, basing her prognostications principally on the phases, position and appearance of the moon.

Professor De Voe holds the atmospheric blanket theory, hey both have good records. At least 60 per cent, better than the Government schjols. At thai time, he nj Eas.irj college or university had a uepartn.m. of pedagogy; there were no training school tx-teachers, no special class's for IK tie children, no tree public Ubrailes and no co operation lu Brooklyn between museun a and other pub.lc Institution and the schools. He then called attention to the present training school for teachers; to the 500 kindergarten classes in the public schools of the city aud to the many free public libraries and school class libraries which supp.y the demand or books.

He commented also on the opportunity for nature study which the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanical Garden afford and to the traveling collections, as well as the facilities for Inspecting exhibits supplied by the Aquarium and the Museum of Natural History. He expressed the hope that, in the near future, Brooklyn also would have a Botanical Garden. With reference to pedagogical rratters. Dr. Maxwell said that now no great university Is con-plete without its department of pedagogy and added that what the universities are doing for Manhattan In affording opportunity for self improvement and the scientific study of education, the Brooklyn Institute is doing for Brooklyn.

This opportunity he held toe one of the teacher's important opportunities. Dr. Maxwell then discussed the change In the public attitude toward education how to-day. In contrast with the past, bodies of citizens rlBe to defend the public schools snlnst attack ana mentioned the Public Education Association's Important agency In this direction. He spoke of the change in sentiment towrtrd physical training and athletics, an advocate of which twen'y-flve years ago would have been looked upon as a crank if not a public enemy, Bnd pointed to the Public Schools Athletic Lesgue as an Important factor In this field.

The new attitude of parents and their friendly visits to the schools, unknown a quarter of a century ago, were held to show a great advance. This friendly relationship on the part of parents led. Dr. Maxwell said, to the rising of the people en masse In defense of the schools. He spoke, also, of the work of the Department of Health, which twenty-five years ago simply excluded children from school on account of contagious disease, but which now gives any child suspected of physical ailment the benefit of the careful diagnosis of a city physician, and, In tenement districts, supplies also to home and school the helpful ministrations of trained nurses.

Dr. Maxwell continued, as follows: "Surely these are opportunities which every teacher should appreciate. All these outside agencies the kiidergarten association, the free public library, the museum aud the botan cal gardens, the athletic league, the public edication society, the parents meetings the work of the Department of Health have but one purpose, the purpose of aiding the teacher to train his pupil to right ways of I vlng and thinking and acting. Public generosity and public good will toward the public school have made the teacher's task an easier task, a pleasanter task, a more productive task. The teacher's opportunity to do good has been Increased enormouBly during the past twenty-five years.

"The schools are conferring an enormous benefit upon society by the time and attention now given to play, to gymnastics, to athletics and to physlcnl training. Yet much rema ns to be done by every teacher, to care for the bodies of her pupils. Eyes are often weak snd ears partially deaf, when neither the children nor their parents realize the danger; while the school desk is a constant temptation to incorrect habits of posture that may result In serious physical Injury. Teachers have rendered incalculable service to their pupils by discover ng these defects i season, I The Young Men'B Class of the Central Presbyterian Church opened its work for the coming year last Sunday afternoon with a large attendance. The pastor, the Rev.

J. F. Carson, made a brief address and the soprano and bass soloists of the i choir rendered fine selections. The work for the coming seaBon has been planned and a profitable year Is expected. The topics for the Sunday afternoons in October are "God In Providence," "God In History," I "God In Nature," "God in Grace." All men 1 are welcome.

The object of the class Is not denomlna-i tlonal. but general. The desire is to attract all men and Interest them In the work for the other men.

NEW S. P. C. C. BUILDING.

Contract Awarded tor a Handsome Addition to the Present Shelter. Baptist churches in all parts of Brooklyn were represented last night at the anniversary rally of the Young People's Baptist Union of Brooklyn, held in the Baptist Temple, on Schermerhorn street. The church was partitioned off in small sections for the representatives of the different churches and by the time the services began the auditorium was fairly well filled. Representatives of some ot the Baptist churches In Long Island City and Richmond were also present and when it came to their turn to make a response did not fall to do so. Dr.

Cortland Myers, pastor of the Baptist Temple, acted as chairman, while Professor Edward Morris Bowman, of the same church, presided at the organ. The Rev. B. M. Tipple delivered a stirring address upon the Bubjoct, "The Other Follow." The Rev.

C. D. Case called off the roll of the churches. The representatives of each church when the name of their church was called responded by reading selections from the Bible, singing hymns and giving some Teliglous verseB. No name called failed to produce a response of some kind, though over fifty churches were on the Hot.

The First East New York Church, the First Eastern District Church, the Sixth Avenue Church, the Strong Place Church and others were applauded for their responses. The officers of the union are: President, Alfred Tyrrlll; first vice esldent, Charles Rehbeln; second vice president, E. E. Bur-rowes; secretary, James A. Bovey; assistant secretary, James M.

Miss Ettlnsj. A short time later, according to the report maOe by nr. urusn at tne uieeiiug iu4t night, Mr. hicks Invited the committee to visit him and to bring along. If possible, Mayor McClellan, Park Commissioner Kennedy and Chief Engineer i-arsonn, in oruer to them a demonstration of the transplanting of large trees.

"1 extended this invitation to the Mayor and the other gentlemen, anu It was only today that I received a response from Mr. a. sons," said Dr. Brush last night. "His letter says that he.

the expert on the matter to wnom the matter has been referred, has long been acquainted with the work of Mr. Hicks and the success be has attained in transplanting large trees. "Now, If the opposition that has been raised against the construction of the subway ie uue honestly to the fear of destroying the trees, all the obstacles in the way of at once beginning the work are wiped out. The engineering expert knows that the work can be done. "Mr.

Grout told me some time ago that the contract on the FlatDush suoway would be held up until the contracts for all the other proposed subways are leady to be let. This no doubt Is for the sake of competition. The Mayor agrees with Mr. Grout. Now the Flatiush syLway has teen approved and there Is nothing in the way of Its construction but the position the Mayor, Mr.

Grout and Commissioner Kennedy take. I think that, If Flatbush wants to get Its Just deserts, it will have to make a noise. Now Is the time to call a mass mteting and get the emphatic expression of the oi of the people of this vicinity on the subway matter." Dr. Brush's remarks were greeted with applause. President George W.

Wilson announced that the matter of calling mass meetings ef the residents of the district would be left to the committee that had done so much good work In behalf of the section. He said he bad full knowledge of the committee's unceasing work since the trouble arose early tho spring. Even before that, he satd, the committee had been at work on the subway question. "It was through the efforts of the com-mittoee," said Edmund D. Fisher, "that the s.ibway was finally decided upon for Flatbush.

When the four-track subway was proposed for Flatbush avenue, to terminate at Atlantic avenue, and the question of the feasibility of the plan was raised, owing to the Inability to secure room for the storage ot cars the lour tracks would necessitate, this committee, representing the association, finally succeeded In bringing the sub-way to I-irt' sh t' ro 'ch th" er oi storage room and additional tracks. This storage room Is not benefiting Flatbush alone. It Is a eniicc for the rest of the city, ns all the cars can be shunted to and stored on the additional tracks that we have proposed room for. The Interborough Company had 11. for terminal facllltlos, and I think this Is applicable now." I r.

Prush said that Ocean avenue In Park-side, where tho terminal was planned, was wide enough for terminal facilities as well as storage purposes, with the exception of nine feet Inside the park fonce to provide sufficient room for the eight tracks. At the Invitation of the association. Chief Englne-r Eugene Klapp, of the Brooklyn Helghm Railroad Company, addressed the members on the proposed depression of the Brighton Bench Railroad tracks. Ho said tho work, to begin at Church avenue, would bo started probably tho latter part of the current month and that the depression would attain an avorage depth of IB feet from Church avenue to Manhattan creasing. From that pclnt to the beaches the railroad would rui over an embankment, abolishing all grade etosslngs.

He said the company had secured a CO loot right ot way all the length Justice Kelly' Decision Takes License From" Loeffler. Supreme Court Juitlce Kelly's definition of a meal has caused the loss of a liquor license to Otto Loeffler. who owns a saloon at Washington and Sands streets. Suit was brought to revoke the saloon keeper's license by Patrick W. Culllnan, state commissioner of excise.

At the hearing Inspectors attached to the Excise Department testified that they had visited the saloon on several Sundays and obtained whisky without calling for a meal. On one occasion a sandwich was on the table. Soon after the Jury had retired, they returned to find out what le considered a rona Hde rrral. Justice Kelly believed a sandwich did not constitute a meal The Jury decided against the defendant. A contract for a new building and the enlargement of the old was made to-day by the directors of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

This step was the outcome of the meeting of the board of directors held at 105 Schermerhorn street, yesterday afternoon. Over two hours were consumed In discussing tho proposition. It was a grave question to decide because the donors of the new building fund, In some Instances, had madu it eonditional that 350,000 be obtained before a contract shou.d bo made. One year ago it was estimated mat mat sum would be suluuieni to erect a uunuiug according to ine Plans lurulsued by M. tV.

morns, ol oi Wall street, Mauuutiau. Since that time, however, the price oi all ouildlng niaienais has Increased; and into the calculation, a. bo. since men, nas ouen adrmued leaturea lu the bunding itselt not at mat time considered. It was recognized by the direc.jrB u.ut wouiu uot be guuiclent to meet the lowest bid lor ine bulluing ag planned, wnlch as But nas ueen suu-striotd.

On ine other side wero the painfully folt needs oi the society, Hliosu woik uus increased over one-ID, id in me past year and lb siiil on the upward lnoveiuent. Super. n-tendeut l'reston told the directors that he simply could not meet the demands on the society In the present structure. The dormitories were inadequate. No provision was idc for contagious diseases and as a whole the building was manifestly Inadequate to meet even Inconveniently the Increasing demands made upon It.

"Wo cannot turn any child from our doors no matter what Us condition of hoa.th or how congested are the sleeping accommodations ol tne home. We must take children In who are brought to us, or whom we go out to And. There seems no alternative. A new building and the heightening of the old one story la Indeed Imperative. So the board of directors decided." In the absence of Charles A.

Srhleren. president of the board, Alfred T. Whl'e presided. Mr. White said that the sore needs of the society for more room outweighed any consideration of sums pledged on tho condition that the whole amount necessary to meet the first estimated cost ho rained.

It was his vlow and that of the other members of the board thnt the welfare of the waifs most first be roislilored. The new building will be erected on the lot to the east of tho present building. It will conform to the architectural features of the present building with tho one exception that It will be five stories Instead of four. The old building will have a story edded. The present building has accoir modal Ion for forty rhitdren.

"But there Is another class of pupils who present many special opportunit es to the teacher the particularly bright pupils.
