IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

Thanksgiving Was F'ittingly Observed
 in All-3S0 Inmates at Springside.
 At the various public institutions about the city the inmates were yester- day treated to special Thanksgiving dinners and the day was fittingly ob- served, in many of the institutions re- ligious services being held. At St. Francis Orphan Asylum a turkey din- ner was served, a number of the fowls sufficient for the dinner yesterday, and several more in the future, were dona- ted to the asylum by MT. Edward E. Malley. Candy and apples were given the children and all enjoyed them selves hugely. In tn morning a Thanksgiving mass was celebrated. During the day a large number of the friends and relatives of the children called.
 At the New Haven Orphan Asylum a chicken dinner was served to the chill dren but there were no other special features to mark the day.
 At Springside farm there was a full holiday in every respect. All the men knocked off work and chicken dinner was served with mince pies and fruit. After dinner each man was given a package of five cigars. Nuts and candy were given to the women. There are now 3S0 inmates at Springside. This number is larger by about fifty than was the number of inmates at Thanks giving time a year ago. The place has been filling up rapidly recently, the cold | weather having driven in the homeless. It begins to seem now there will be more inmates at the farm this winter than in any previous winter since the almshouSe was built. .-.

Church street is the same. should have thought that in view of the many strangers and visitors ex- pected here to-day some of your big salaried officers would have had those two streets at least cleaned, even if at their own cost.

CORNELL MEN CELEBRATE.
Showing Against the U. of P. Taken as
 Victory

victory.
 Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 25-The result of to-days game at Philadelphia with the Pennsylvania team was highly gratify- ing to Cornell. The game was the best one Cornell ever put up against the Quakers, and 1t is regarded as virtually a victory for Cornell.
 The students who did not leave the city for their Thanksgiving recess are celebrating tonight in true college style. Preparations are being made to give the players royal reception on their return tomorrow.
 The report that Yale is willing to row Cornell again next year has brought out some interesting questions. While Cornell heretofore has been willing to race with all the college crews, and that on mostly any condition she feels that she is now in position to ask that her interests and wishes be given as much consideration as those of any other uni versity.
 Cornell's relations with the various college rowing clubs is quite complicat- ed. In the first place, from their near ness of location, Cornell, Columbia and University of Pennsylvania have always found it advantageous to row together Cornell is on very pleasant terms with these universities and there is no doubt that there will be another triangular meet next summer.
 While Cornell feels that her victories last summer entitle her to admission to any American intercollegiate boat race, she is not so anxious to meet Yale that she would do so on any conditions the New Haven authorities might pre- scribe.
 Cornell might be willing to row at New London, provided Yale and Har- ward would admit Columbia and Penn sylyania, or provided these two latter would meet Cornell in a triangular race on the course. The Cornell officials have, however, always objected to the | New London course as being too mar row for three-cornered contest. If Yale and Harvard would admit all three | Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania | to their race, then the match could be rowed in heats and only two crews would have to row together at one time.

MARCH OF THE OLD GUARD.
Evacuation Day in New York Honore,

Evacuation Day in New York Honored
 by Parade and Flag Raising.
 New York, Nov. 25.-The Old Guard, in fierce black shakos, made their usual parade from the armory at Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue down Broadway to the Battery, where the flag was rais- ed. They were under the command of Major Ellis s. Riggs, and were escorted by detachment of United States reg ulars from Governors Island, under the command of Captain Frank Thorpe. This is the last parade that will take place from the present quarters, as the lease on the building has expired. The headquarters will be transferred on January 1 to the commodious upper floors of the two-story building at the northwest corner of Forty-ninth street and Broadway.
 All the city departments were closed to-day. Those in authority forgot that it was Evacuation day as well, and the flags were not displayed on the city hall as usual. Shortly after 10 o'clock the Old Guard drew up in Park row, and two of the officers entered the city hall to notify the mayor that they were ready to be reviewed. The officer found the mayors office closed. Not even an alderman was on hand, and the Old Guard were compelled to walk past the hall with colors Tapping and band play ing, and no one to review them.
 The Evacuation day dinner of the Sons of the Revolution takes place to- morrow night at the new Delmonico restaurant.

His Decision to Give Up His Chicago
 Passionate Final This Time.
 Chicago, Nov. 25.-Rev. Dr. Frank Gunsaulus has peremptorily resigned the pastorate of Plymouth Congrega- tional church. The resignation was considered by the trustees and the pru- dential committee of the church in joint session, and the universal sentiment was that it would necessarily have to be accepted. It will be heard and acted on by the congregation next Sunday morning.
 Dr. Gunsaulus' letter of resignation is 8 long and touching one. It refers to the fact that it is the third letter of resignation he has sent to the church within as many months, and says that, though the church in it's loving parti- ality has disregarded the first two, the third is final and irrovecable. The rea- son for this step, he says, is the condi- tion of his health.
