Elliot Says New York Is Ugly
Members Of the Harvard Club of New
York We're startled to hear the president
OF the university at Cambridge condemn
New York as place Of "ugliness and
squalor'
Crimson banners and red roses glowed
In the grand ballroom of the Waldorf
Astoria and booming "Rahs" made the
glasses dance, when $50 "sons of faIr
Harvard held the thirty-sixth annual
banquet Of the club.
President Elliot paid his resnects tn
this city as an Incidental part Of his
speech in this simple criticism:
In going about in New York I have
been impressed only by two thngs-the
ugllness and squalor Of it all. This
metropolis has only two redeeming
features. in my opinion-the water which
surrounds it and Central park"

Twenty-four members of the Eques-
trian club, an organization allied to the
Suburban club, enjoyed one of the most
novel dinners of the season last week at
Sherry's. Their table was in the shape
OF gigantic horses head and neck. The
seats were arranged about the edge Of the
neck, the center being banked with flow
ers. The head was an enormous bouquet
with q basis Of white carnations, while
the nose, ears, nostrils and bride were,
marked Ky vi0lets and carnations At
each plate was an elaborate souvenir
a horses head of white cardboard, with
a bride Of leather and metal, reproduc-
ing exactly the most approved models
The guests names were painted OH one
side Of the head, and the menu on the
other.
When the club members reached the
ball room they had a genuine surprise.
The orchestra was playing and a horse
was trotting around the table with boy
on his back. pretty pony was hitched
to a cart representing a water barrel,
with a pai swinging from the back.
Around the barrel were clusters Of white
and purple grapes, and boy, taking tho
part Of Bacchus, sat astride and drove
the pony around the table. The water
cart was filed with cracked ice, into
which had been pressed magnums Of
champagne, which were distributed by
the driver.
Money But No Slie for Pest House
Following the announcement that An
drew Carnegie at one time had offered
to contribute $4,000 for a private small
pox hospital, the project of establishing
such an Institution has been widely dis
eusscd. The offer OF Mr.. Carnegie had
been declined, because tho trustees OF
MiEturn hospital, to whom 1t was made
could not obtain site. In the opinion
of physicians whose dulles bring them
in contact with contagious diseases, the
objection made by the owners Of prop
erty !n the neighborhood Of sites select
ed for smallpox hospitals would be tho
principal object to be overcome. They
say that the dangers resulting from the
prox unity of such a hospital are greatly
overestimated by the public.
1t IS known that three men are Will
ing to give sums amounting TO from S59,'
900 to $4,000, provided that the institu-
ton be situated on Manhattan island
