Is Gotham sneakins out of It:

The discovery has been made in
New York that the discovery OF
America by Columbus did not take
place in 1882. He only found and landed
on<a little island which is not accu-
rately identified. The American con-
tinent as not discovered until 1893,
and therefore it is suggested by
New York contemporary that the
celebration take place in 1898. L is
looks like a mean attempt to sneak
out of an enterprise the cost OF which
the New Workers grudge. The fund
they are trying to raise is for an ex-
hibition in 1892, and the subscribers
