A Hard Contest for the Infantry
Basket Ball Team.

A Hard Contest for the Infantry
Basket Ball Team.
One of the most interesting events of In
door athletics this season is the game an
nounced for Friday evening next between
the Light Infantry basket ball team, the
champion club of the District. and the
crack Yale varsity team. As the game will
be played under the national rules, which
call for five men on side, the entire play
ing space at the Light Infantry Armory
would be too large for the contest. so that
about one-third of the east end will be
the spectators. The Light Infantry boys
have been hard at work for the past week
preparing for the contest. and there is con-
siderable rivalry among the players for
places on the team that will meet Yale.
There is already a demand for seats, and
there is every prospect that the largest
crowd of the season will be in attendance.

CHINESE LAUNDRIEs FILTHY.
DR.. Hart Recommends to the Board OF

DIR. Hart Recommends to the Board Of
Health to Raid Them.
DR.. Hart of the Board of Health is OF
the opinion that the spraying of clothes
by means of the mouth, in Chinese laun-
dries, is calculated to communicate germs
of disease to persons wearing the gar
ments coming from such places. He also
says that he has discovered that large
number of places which are run ostensi-
bly, as laundries are nothing more nor less
less than opium dens, which are much
frequented by white persons. He also
recommends to the board to raid the
laundrles. "a filthy habit in many of
these Chinese laundries," he reports, 'is
their sleeping on the washed clothing of
their patrons. The following day these
same clothes, without undergoing a second
washing, are ironed and returned to their
customers. This l witnessed myself.
