The City Schools,

The number of pupils in attendance
up IN the public schools is gradually in~
creasing. There are in the white schools
about 245 and in the negro school 1870
pupils. Superintendent Wright and the
teachers would be glad for the members
of the board of education and patrons
to visit the schools oftener than they do.
They will find welcome at any tine.

RECOMMENDATION REPEATED.
Action of Commissioners on Bill Pro-
viding for Municipal Hospital.

1t is understood that the District Com
missioners, in their report on Senate bill
los, providing for municipal hospital for
the District will repeat the recommended
tons made in a report on n similar bill
during the last session of Congress. Bill
1OS authorizes and directs the trustees of
Columbia Hospital to sell and dispose of
the real property of the institution in such
manner and at such time may be APP
proved by the Commissioners, the proceeds
of the sale to be paid into the treasury of
the United States, and equally credited to
the general and District governments. With
the approval of the Commissioners the trus-
tees of Columbia Hospital are authorized
and directed to purchase a suitable and
convenient site and to erect thereon such
buildings as may be necessary for the &C
commodat:on of the INDECENT sick of the
District including maternity cases. The
plans and estimates are to be approved by
the Commissioners, and admissions TO the
hospital shall be according to rules pre-
scribed by them. An appropriation of $780,
900 is made for the purchase of the site
and $4,000 for beginning the erection of
the buildings, the cost of the same not to
exceed 5000. 900.
In their report on the bill introduced at
the last session, the Commissioners stated
that they approved its general features.
but suggested that 1t be amended so as to
make it a truly municipal institution and
as TO place its erection and management
under the control of the Commissioners.
The necessity for such hospital, they de-
clared, could not be too strongly stated.

OPINIONS OF THE FIGHTERS.
What Prominent Sporting Men Think
of Mccoy and Maher.


Peter Maher and Kid Mccoy are ready
for their fight which is to take place Mon
day. The men will meet in the arena Of
the Coney Island Sporting Club. They will
enter the ring at o'clock in the afternoon.
New Year day will be a day of joy to one
and day of sorrow to the other. Mccoy is
confident that it will be a joyful day to
him. Maher is certain that the day will
bring him money and pleasure. The bet
tors are divided in their opinions. Good
judges are betting against each other even,
as each fighter is betting on himself. The
opinions of a few sporting men follow:
Johnny Staley: Il think Maher will win
and am anxious and willing to bet any
amount on him at even money. There Is
practically no limit to my bet, and all will
be accommodated on these terms who think
Mccoy can win
Riley Grammar: Both are good men. 1
have not made up my mind which one is
worth betting on. Up to the present nave
not placed cent on either man. Both
have their good points. Subsequent events,
if l decide to bet, will influence me in great
degree to decision
Tod Sloan: Il would like to stay in the
city long enough to witness the hght, but
engagements made early in the season Will
merits of the two men are on par. Should
l bet on them flip of a copper Will decide

Gentleman Fred Cowan: This is the
time of year that l rest. l don't even make
a wager. If l do. however, l will certainly
bet on the hoosier. as l believe he is much
the ceverer man of the two"
Joe Vendig: Il am just as positive that
Maher will win as l am that l am alive
at this moment. l have $1,000 to bet that
the Mccoy people are ready to bet at even
money

HARVARD MAY PLAY CORNELL.
Talk of n Foot Ball Game at Manhat-
tan Field, New York. Next Year.

There is a possibility that the Harvard
and Cornell foot ball teams may meet in
New York next year. 1t Is well-known
fact that the crimson students have been
showing disposition of late to play the
Ithacans again on the gridiron. One objec-
ton to such a contest from a Harvard
standpoint has been the fatiguing railroad
journey to Ithaca OF course, the same ar
gument might be made by Cornell when
trip to Cambridge would be necessary.
During the winter of 81 and '9S the two
universities split. Cornell offered as COM
promise to play in New York. but the Har-
ward regulations forbid playing on other
than college grounds. 1t would now be pos
sible for the crimson and Cornell eleyens
TO meet at Manhattan Field.
