A LULL IN THE CEILING INQUIRY.
ACTION on MR.. sPEER's CASE DEFERRED-THE
EXPERT COMMISSION ALLOWED TO Elk.
ANIME WITNESSES IN PRIVATE.

Albany, Feb. 10 Specialization a few moments
thought this morning the Committee on Appropriations
resolved to give Mr.. specr, the correspondent Of
" The New-York SUM- few days of grace In which
to make up his mind whether or not he would reply
10 the questions Of the committee concerning an
article he wrote regarding the Assembly ceiling.
MI Answorth made this statement 10 the Assembly
a little later, and also said that the Committee on
Appropriations would meet on Monday evening.
Mr.. Ainsworh further stated that the expert COM
mission that has been examining the Assembly
ceiling desired permission to take the testimony
privately OF Charles b. Andrews, the superintendent
of Public Building; OF Mr. Rowe, the architect of
the Assembly ceiling and of John snaith, the con-
tractor The Assembly granted permission TO the
experts to take this testimony in private.
H. Sinclair, of the firm of II. sinclalrs Sons, No.
| 3o7 Seventh-ave from whom Contractor Snaith OBJ
tanned the PAPER mache used in the new panels of
| the Assembly ceiling said yesterday that he could
| not give the exact figures at which his firm filed
the contract but he was willing 10 admit that 1t was
less than 10000 Whether It as low as S11,oOo
| as alleged, he declined To say. There were $50
| panels In the ceiling for which his firm supplied
PAPER msohe. These panels about thirty inches
square and about eighteen inches deep. Each panel
| had TO be followed in concavc form. Mr.
| Sinclair did think that owing TO the peculiar
conformation Of the panels and the intrtcacy Of the
design Of the surface scroll work, that II was possible
| 10 have made the panels OF quarfcrcn OAK nc Sau
that there was wide difference between the price Of
Quartered oak and papier mache. The latter IS only
| paper pulp with backing OF buraps cast In gestine
moulds. Mr. Sinclair said further:
"Wc have done good deal Of work for Mr.. snaith
including fitting out a church in Scranton. He showed
the plans for the work to be done on the Assembly
| coing We figured the work and put our estimate
low because thought other contractors were fgur
| ing the work. Besides the panels there wero
forty-eight spandrels, girder ornaments and other
work 1t stipulated that all the material should
| be forwarded 10 Albany at once, and
as as possible this was done, part going
in two freight cars and part by boat believe that
| the material did not remain exposed to view very
| long in Albany but that about thirty men were on
hand, who had n In place IN the ceiling In short or
| der. All tho panels were painted and grained In
| imitation Of quartercd oak"
James NJ Sinclair was seen at his house last night,
| but declined 10 say anything with regard To the pro-
ceedings In Albany Before leaving that city ycSter-
day lie had asked be allowed to testify. he said,
but the committee decided not to hear his testimony

row Yale IN deciding the question Captain hlddcr has
been guided by the opinion Of the university oarSnen
1t was not deemed advisable to row two races within
a week, since the strain on the men, as well
as the physical exertion proved too much for tho
university I'm past years. The only alternative
II the challenge be accepted was to 70" three
cornercd with Yale and Columbia. The general
opinion of the Harvard oarsmen is that the Newton
don course under certain conditions, Is unfair for such
a race. This was shown so clearly b the unsatis
factory ending the Freshmen In 1885, that 1t Is
not probable that any Harvard crew VIII ever enter
