Possible Use for Old City Building.

Rev. +. r. Eddy. who takes more than
ordinary interest in athletics, suggests
that the old city building be converted
into a gymnasium. He thinks the build
ing admirably adapted 10 that purpose,
and as the changes required would be
slight. small expenditure would be neces-
sary. Bath rooms and dressing rooms
would be absolutely necessary. If pos
sible, a sitting room for ladies and q
lounging room for men might be provided
for. Continuing, Mr.. Eddy says:
THE question OF the proper control and
management of an institution of this kind
is both the most important and the most
difficult. II the city government should
grant the use of the building for this
purpose, il would be proper and desirable
that at the same time they should impose
necessary restrictions and limitations.
and appoint a board of control to see
that they were made operative Suppos-
ing the city government decided to take
this step, two associations, one for young
women and one for young men, could be
formed. each of them appointing repre-
sentatives to>serve on the board of con-
troll.
THE stranger visiting our city finds
here a beautiful public library half a
dozen churches and numerous we'll
appointed schoolhouses. Why should
there not be among our institutions one
that stands for physical culture? Is not
this an opportunity that should not be
wasted2'

When he was Harvard student the
late Sherman Hoar' became famous as
maker of epigrams. One evening he
had been indulging in his usual style of
conversation in the rooms of Professor
D.. man after his own heart, but
too apt to interlard his lectures with
apparently original witticisms taken,
after the manner of Moliere, wherever
he found them. When Hoar and a
fellow-student had left the academic
presence the latter enthusiastically
cried: by Jove, Sherman, How do
