Prof. Granville r. Lees gymnasium In
Union Hall was opened last evening, the
exhibition also continuing to-day. Prof. Lee
has put some hard work into the hall and
the result is seen in one Of the best gymnasi-
ums in the State. Entering from Free street
one sees first Of all large barrel shaped OBJ
ieet standing on three legs, opposite the
door. 1t looks somewhat like an overgrown
Gatling gun, but in reality is quite a differ
ent thing, e vaulting horse with telescope
legs. There are parallel bars, a standing
ladder, rings hung from the roof through the
ventilator and a steel cord horizontal bar all
provided with fiat mattresses as a measure
of protection; a sliding seat rowing ma
chine. vauiting pole for the horse, and a
double chest weight. Around the room at
convenient intervals are improved chest
weights, wrist machines, stacks Of iumb-
bells, Indian clubs and wands. The part of
the hall on the Free street side has been par
titioned off into comfortable sitting room.
and bath room with hot and cold water
and shower bath. and other convenences. A
row Of lockers is to be placed In this room
and at some future time running track will
probably be built above the door. This
track will be the only thing Of the kind seen
here since the days Of Lancaster Hall, and
will doubtless graduate large classes Of fast
sprinters. On the whole, Prof. Lee may be
said to have succeeded in gathering together
large amount of valuable muscle-buildipg
apparatus, and he cannot fail Of success.

WILL PREVENT a MATCH.
The Owner of the Thistle Talks About
That New Deed.

NEW YORK, October 16.-Mr. James Bell,
owner of the Scotch cutter Thistle, sailed
for England today in the Teutonic with his
wife. He was interviewed at the Windsor
Hotel last night, and, while out of courtesy
to the New York Yacht Club he did not feel
inclined to discuss the document which
stands in the way OF an International yacht
race, he asked if it would not have
been courteous action if the New York
Yacht Club had consulted with the leading
clubs or club of England before it adopted
new deed, to strive to formulate such deed
as would be acceptable to English as well as
American clubs. Mr. Bell was very EN-
phatic in his expressions of regard for the
New York Yacht Club on account of the
courtesles 1t has extended to him, and would
not criticiSe any action it has taken in re-
gard to international races, but he expressed
regret that the conditions are such as to in
terfere with the meeting of English and
American yachts to reveal the progress made
by each country in yacht designing, con-
struction and sailing, and in order to make
comparison between them. He said that he
would now be unable to challenge again for
the Americas cup, If he desired to do so un-
der the present deed, for the new deed CON-
pels the challenge to be made by recog-
nized yacht club of a foreign country, and
the leading clubs of England, he said, take
a stand against the new deed. This makes
the yachtsmen of England powerless to act
in the matter of race for the Americas
cup, and as far as Mr.. Bell is concerned he
does not at present intend to bring the This
tie here unless she can race again for the
trophy she wanted to win before.
Mr.. Bell is now sole owner of the Thistle.
When the yacht sailed against the Volunteer
she was owned by syndicate. He spoke of
the Valkyrie, Lord Dunraven's new 70 foot
er, in high terms, and said he thinks her

TWO Victims Of Sand Baggefs Die In
the Hospital.

New YORK, October 1e.-Two men, who
may have been knocked down with sand
bags and robbed by West Side ruffans. have
died in the Roosevelt Hospital this week.
One of them, Thomas Cary, the middleaged
proprietor of a hotel at Middletown, Conn.,,
died yesterday morning from a suspicious
fracture of the skull. He was found leaning
against lamp-post at Seventh avenue and
Thirty-third street, early on Tuesday morn
ing, and policeman arrested him on a
charge of intoxication, but at the West Thir-
ty-seyenth street police station Sergeant
Thomas could not detect any smell of liquor
about him, and concluded that he was suffer
ing from an injury to the head.
Carey was too much dazed to give any, ex
planation of his condition. His pockets
were empty. At the hospital, surgeons
found that he was suffering from fracture
of the skull, and they noticed slight bruise
at the back of his head, such as would have
been caused by blow with sand bag His
mother and brother arrived in the city on
Saturday. They said that he must have had
gold watch and chain and about $3.50 in
his pockets before he was hurt and the alb
sence of the watch and money was an addi-
tional indication that he had been assaulted
and robbed. He was not able to talk previ-
Gus to his death yesterday morning. His rel
atives will remove the body to Connecticut
for burial.
Only two blocks from the place where Ca
rey was found on Tuesday morning, Custom
House Inspector Edward Ii. Woodbridge was
arrested on suspicion of being drunk on the
previous Sunday night. His pockets were
empty, and he was bleeding from an injury
to his head. The police thought he had hurt
himself by fall while drunk, and he was
locked up until the following morning, when
he was taken to the Jefferson Market police
court and fined $40
After being discharged from the court, he
went to consult DIR G. N. Dowd, of No 147
West Seventy third street. who sent him to
the hospital, where he died on last Sunday
morning. Before his death Woodbridge said
he had been robbed of his gold watch and
chain, but he could not explain how he had
been hurt. He admitted that he was under
the influence of liquor when he received the
injury. An autopsy on Monday showed that
his skull had been fractured. Woodbridge
was unmarried, and lived at No. 127 west
Twenty-second street. His father Is well
known politician in Vermont, and MS Dooy
will be taken to Vermont for burial,

given by the Etna Insurance Company of
Hartford that it would withdraw from the
compact made by the fire insurance compa-

Etna would begin business anew in the
