Mr.. Samuel II. Pike, now Of this city and
formerly OF Cincinnati. recently made proposition to
the citizens Of the latter place, which excited much
earnest consideration, and discussed at public
meeting in the Board of Trade Hall the 9th OF this
month. Mr.. Pike proposed to erect hotel and
OpertIIOuse in Cincinnati on q scale or Inagnln-
cence which would outrival all others in the
United States He would undertake the improve
ment on the condition that the residents or
the city thus benefited should subscribe partthe pro-
portion not being definitely stated-of the amount or
money required. The papers Of Cincinnati hailed the
proposition with Joy and urged their readers not to lose
accept their share responsibility. Mr.. Pike had
already built Opera House in Cincinnati and the
public understood his energy and hberalty
In matters OF that kind. The meeting OF April s
enthusiastic, and a Committee OF twelve gentlemen
appointed to correspond with Mr. Pike In regard TO
the details OF his pan and to report to another meeting
To be called by the Chairman. The Committee opened
their correspondence by asking Mr.. Pike two important
questOns-what of money he proposed 10 spend on
the buildings, and what sum he would require to
York, April Is, SIR. Pike answers: Ny esti-
mate OF the buildings would probably amount to 100000
The amount OF money would require TO be subscribed
by property holders and citizens would be at least co
and hGt million dollars" He adds that If the cost Is
less than this amount tie surplus shall be returned 10
the subscribers. II the cost Is more than s2,O0OOO Mr.
Pike offers TO invest the difference himself
The Committee have duly resolved That the proposition
is deemed impractiCabe," and that Mr. r. be Informed
to that effect. The Chairman OF the citizens meeting
publishes card in which he says he does not deem it
necessary TO call another meeting OF citizens for further
consideration OF the subject The papers seemed III
