PUBLIC MEETINGS.

COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS
The Inauguraton Of the newly erected edfce of the
College Of Physicians and Smgeor> Of the City o.
Ncw-York took place last evening. Thfs building il
located on the corner Of Fourth avenue and Twenty.
third street and is handsome aud spacious struct ire
The exercises Of the evening were commenced with
prayer by the Rev. DIR. VERMILYE.
DR.. THOMAS Cock, Vice President OF the Institution
then introduced DR.. DELAFELD, Emeritus Professor
Of Obstetrics, who proceeded TO deliver en- appropriate
address. He spoke Of the Medical Department as
formerly connected with Columbia, then Kings Col
ege, in 1868. DIR. Samuel Bard at that time
a medical professor first suggested the idea
which led to the establishment Of the New.York
Hospital. In 1877 the Legislature of this State
appropriated the frs moneys toward the support of
Medical College. The College of Physicians and Sur
geons obtained its charter In the year lsO6 At the
outset this Institution occupied very limited apart
ments in Robinson street, near Columbia College. IA
long ago as 1907 there were three distinct Medical
Schools In this city, together including amount Of
talent about sufficient for good school, The doctor
alluded to the similarity in respects of their aid
now" when we have three Medical Institutions indie
efficient staff Of Professors. About the gmost
eminent medical men New-YoIk has produced,
the lecturer remarked, DIS. Post and
Hosack. The former was appointed Professor
Of Surgery and Anatomy in the Medical Department
Of Columbia College, and continued such till he was
elected President Of that institution in 1926. DIR.
Hosack commenced his official career in 1907, and
finished il in Rutgers College in 1880. He was a
Of great industry and wthal exceedingly ambitious Of
success. His characteristics lecturer were adj
veted TO, as well the wide professional reputa.
ton attained by him. The present number of Trus-
tees of the College of Physicians and Surgeons is
twenty-five, no more than twelve Of whom can be
medical men. The present mode of appointing Pro-
fessor, when vacancy occurs is from the list of can
ddates to select who is required to lecture for one
year, and if he proves acceptable to his colleagues and
NJ he the Rp0ents Hho
firm the appointment. The lecturer stated that the
City of NewYork furnishes greater facilities for the
instruction Of medical students, regards to
are now more than sixty young medical men connected
with the various hospitals of city and Brooklyn,
and some $50 medical men Of greater experience and
attaches TO the same as advisers and prescriptOrs.
The doctor closed by addressing some suitable
marks the class which has just connected itself with
the College.
After a benediction, the audience separated.

deeorbes them at length; but simply copy por
t'on concerning the one to which they gave their pref
| erepce:
"BERDAs's CosPRgssfBLx LrTE-Boar.-This boat
comes nearer the object required instructions
than eny boat presented She is OF a very ingenious
construction and may prove valuable in the meroan-
tile marine from her compactness and buoyant prop
critics.
Her buoyaocy may be judged by the following ,ess
to which she subjected in smooth water. Fifteen
men we're placed in the boat offered for inspection
being twelve feet long andtwo "a pound weights
pended on side, with which she foated with great
ease. There wa- afterwsrd place in the boat 500
pounds Of iron, then she was filed with water and
four Ga pound weights suspended on one side, under
which pressure she foated with her gunnvaes six or
eight inches above water. She put together and
launched in two minutes. The following ia brief de-
scrption Of the boat: She is made of a strong frame
Of wood modelled ike ordinary boat covered with
canvass coated with gutta-percha, large air-com-
panment in the shape of cylinder outside the boat,
rurAng from stem TO stern along the gunnwaes. The
gunnwales and ribs hinged to the Keel so that when
the boat not required for the ribs be thrown
parallel with the Keel and thus allow the gunnwales to
fall down both sides close TO the keel COMPRISING
the boat in about fifth its size when ready for USE"

yESy MODE or RAISING THE WIND

For scme time past young man about twenty-five
or twentyfour years Of age, of very genee appear
ance and address, has been carrying on confidence
operation throughout the city by which he has swim
died dry goods merchants coal dealers, grocers, and
others out of various amounts Of money. His princi-
pal operation has been with coadeales nearly every
one of whom in the city he has done out OF various
sums of money ranging from s. to s2o without being
detected His plan of operations has been as follows;
Between noon and o'clock p IN. he would enter
the ofce attached to some coal-yard and inquire the
price of coal, induging at the same time In little
pleasantly with the clerk proprietor After little
time he would order three four tuns Of coal to be
sent to Carroplace, and Immediately ask for bill to
be made out The bill would be of course made out,
when the young gentleman, taking out his wallet,
would produce number of bills and count them over,
remarking when he had done so that he had not money
enough with him to settle with, and as he wanted to
use little more than he had before going down town.
he would give them check, and be exceedingly
obliged If they would accommodate him with the
balance over and above the bill.
In one instance he ordered quantity OF coal. the
bill for which amounted to see. He drew check, OF
which the following is copy, and received the differ
ence between It and the amount of his bill;

The check. on being presented at the Bank. was
pronounced worthless the teller stating tha; no such
person kept any account there.
In every instance the coal was sent as directed to
No Carroll place; but upon an old lady named Hal
lett who resided there refusing to sign the receipt,
the cartman returned with his load TO the yard. Sus
picon being then aroused the check would be sent to
the bank meeting with the result above stated Who
this genteel swnder is has not yet been ascertained
but il is said tina, he once possessed fortune and has
since squandered it away in life of dissipation. His
parents have it is said, dsowned him, and he has
taken up this business for a livelihood. The police
are on the kout for him. but he has yet avoided
their vigilance
