ter Of Mrs. Breese's Will.
Judge Hag1.er. in Equity Court No. 2, to-
day decided that under the will Of the late
Emma L. Breese, the Children's Hospital
and Garfield Memorial Hospital are en-
titled to receive from the estate the sums
Of 5000 and $4,000. respectively.
Mrs. Breese died at Philadelphia July 30,
1892. and her will appointed her sisters.
Charlotte Bostwick Of Philadelphia, and
Anna Matilda Maulsby. of this city, to be
executives in trust Of the estate.
This will was dated March 20, 1883, and
in a letter addressed to her sisters, Janu-
airy II, 1891, Mrs. Breese declared that
5000 should be given to the Children's
Hospital for its endowment fund. interest
only to be used, and that $4,000 should be
used for the construction and endowment
of free GyneciaI hospital for poor and
destitute women, to be built on the Gar

Lovett Fletcher Free Gynecian Hospital"
Mrs. Maulsby and Mrs. Reese died the same
day. Mrs. Maulsby dying few hours after
queathed her estate to her sisters, Mrs.
Breese and Mrs. Bostwick. making them
executrices. Mrs. Bostwick declined to
serve and Louisa D. Lovett and Ida Car
The executives received in course Of time,
1t Is said, three sums from the estate of
Mrs. BreeSe, I'll, 1913, $500 and $13,41S64,
respectively, and the two hospitals, the LIST
OF last August, petitioned the court to
make the respective requests to them
charges upon the estate, and that the ex-
ecutrtces account to them for such sums
and for any others hereafter received.
The executives, through their attorney,
Mr.. John Ridout, demurred to the petition.
contending, among other things, that the
petitioners had not therein shown them
selves to be entitled to the relief sought
by them. Judge Hagner overruled the de-
murrer. sustaining the contentious of Mr..
Reginald Fendall and Mr.. Jos. K. Mccain
mon, counsel for the hospitals, in decision
which, after reviewing the circumstances
Of the letter and its intents, concludes as
follows:
"The contentious that the provisions Of
the letter are merely predatory cannot be
sustained. The subject is certain and the
object is sufficiently certain.
"As the prayer of the bill is merely for
relief as to such sums as the defendants, as
ADMINISTRATORS eta. of Mrs. Maulsby have
received, and may receive from the estate
of Mrs. Breese, with knowledge of the pro-
visions of the will and of the letter, it was
not necessary to make Mrs. Bostwick a
party to this suit The consciences of the
defendants are appealed to in the present
case as to what they have done and permit
ted, and a decree against them will be linn
tied to the amounts they have received and
may hereafter receive.
Il will give leave to the defendants to
plead over or will decree relief, as may be
desired by the defendants"

DOUBT ABOUT THE RACE
The Proposed Intercollegiate Aquatic
Contest.
Harvard and Princeton Arrange
Games General Sporting
Notes of Interest.

The proposed intercollegiate eight-oared
race between Pennsylvania, Harvard, Yale,
Cornell and Columbia still hangs fire. A
member of Pennsylvania rowing commit
tee said yesterday that he did not think
Yale would come in.
According to Prof. H. S. White of Cornell
there will be two races, one on June &c be-
tween Columbia, Pennsylvania and Cor
nell and another between Harvard and Cor
Eell. This is not the popular impression.
1t has generally been believed that four
crew race was pretty certain, and a race,
including Yale, was hoped for
There is talk of race between Yale and
oxford, but 1t Is nothing but talk. The
great trouble in arranging boat races with
English university crews is that the for
eign crews go out of training Immediately
after the Oxford-Cambridge race at Easter
To- ask them to remain in training several
months Is considerable. 1t Is fact that
many university oarsmen keep themselves
IN condition to row in the Henley regatta
In the latter part of June or early in July
but the two university crews do not.
The undergraduate sentiment at Yale II
Is SAID. is In favor of five-crew race, but
the alumni will likely again overrule them
as they have done before. During the holt
days man prominent in rowing matters at
pennsylvania interviewed the captain of
self as willing and DESTROYS of going into
the race with the other colleges, but said
that those in athletic authority at Yale
viewed the matter in a different light and
seemed 6iSlnclined to enter into the con.
test.
Every preparation has been put in readi-
ness for the Cornell crew, who began train
ing yesterday. Courtney has put the ma
chimes In readiness for the men as far as
the appliances go. and is much pleased
with the ready response to the call for can
didates for the freshman and varsity
crews Never was there such an abund-
ance of good n aterial as they have this
year. OF the Henley crew five are back in
the university. OF the Henley substitutes
there are Hamilton and Bentley, both
port men. Only two men Of the Pough-
keepsie are out of college this wear.
The captain of the crew, F. w. Free
born. 81, is one of the best oarsmen Cor
ell has ever produced.

commence training January 20. The tank

Several persons who were interested in

The oarsmen who will try to occupy
seats in the boats of both the varsity and
freshmen crews of Columbia College met
yesterday to begin their long siege Of
training. The absence Of Coach Walter
Peet was conspicuous. He will not be able
to devote his time to the crews while in

finish the training. Four of last years

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Five Internationally Games to he
Played Between the Two Colleges.
Final arrangements have been made by
Mr. F. w. Moore Of Harvard and Mr.. ]. j.
Elliot of Princeton, president of their re-
srective base ball associations, for series
OF five games. to be played next spring.
Since the breach with Yale, Harvard has
looked to Princeton in completing her
schedule, and some weeks ago took the in
itiative in arranging for games. The Prince
ton base ball management decided to re-
duce the number of their games with
minor colleges and gave Harvard five of
their open dates.
The following is the schedule: May o. at
Princeton; May 80, at Cambridge; June 10,
at Princeton; June IS, at Cambridge; June
q, on neutral grounds in case Of a tie.
with five games scheduled with both Yale
and Harvard Princeton has every reason
to look for the most brilliant season in her
atheietic history. The team will be COM
posed largely Of veterans and promises to
be especially strong in the box, with Alt
man. Wilson, Easton, Jayne and Bradley
to work the points. The present agree
ment with Harvard is one of the several
results brought about by the Yale-Harvard
imbrogiio. which has operated to Prince
tons advantage.
