that under the Van Wormer and Kuhlke adninistra-
tons the New York Athletic Club has developed
into nothing more than a big hotel. and as Mr..
Wilson is nominated by committee appointed by
the last administration, his election would assure
continuance Of the hotel business and wipe out
all remaining traces of the old club spirit and
practically ignore athletics.
John F. Muir. who has had charge of Mr.. Has
Inns campaign. has issued statement to the
members for the purpose of pointing out the espe-
cial fitness of Mr. Haslin for the presidency. The
statement in part follows:
He sold the old clubhouse for $4,000 after all
attempts Of then board Of governors had failed

Thirty-six thousand dollars IN taxes on the city
clubhoiIse was saved through the efforts OF Mr..
Of governors to purchase the CorOnet property ad-

To Mr. Haslin alone belongs the creGlt or having
his friends $4,000 to build again after the destrc-
ton by fire Of the old clubhouse. No one member
Of the club has done so much for the club as
he, and member is better posted in all depart
ments. including athletics.
So athletics concerned. certainly not
even the best friend well wisher of the candi-
date for president the regular ticket has ever
accused him OF taking any particular interest IN
athletics. or ever having been associated in any
athletic club IF the United States
Unless the athletic feature Of the club is TO be
done away with. it would seem advisable to nave a
president who would see that the athletes nave
what they entitled TO, well as attend 10 the
other duties expected of an active working
president.
According TO several members Of the club, there
is no acrimOny in the contest but interest runs
high and one of the biggest votes in the history Of
the organization Is likely to be polled

HOME OF HISTORY AT LEIPZIG.

Especially Strong in Its Collection
of American Material.
A few years ago the new institut for
kultur and universal history of the
University Of Leipzig, under tho direo-
ton Of Prof. Lamprecht, was opened
1t Is especially favored In its site, for
the building itself, as its outward ap-
pearance indicates, is of especial his
torical interest. For what true citizen
of Leipzig does not know the Golden
Bear" that remarkable old house on
the Universitatsstrasse which Bern
hard Breitkopf, the founder OF the firm
of Breitkopf 4 Hartel, erected in 1885
for business purposes, and which later
became the seat of the Breitkopf &
Hartel bookstore? asks a correspond
ent of the Hartford Courant. In the
second story Of this building above the
store Gottsched lived until his death.
in the year 1767-GOttsched, to whom,
as Goethe in his "Wahrheit und Dich-
tung" says, the elder Breitkopf had
promised a lifelong dwelling In the
second story of the Golden Bear" be-
cause of the great advantages his store
offered in Gothic manuscripts, transla-
lions and other such asistances. In
order to make the acquaintance of
Gottsched, Goethe visited this house
in 1866, In consequence of which we
have that happily drawn sketch in
"Wahrheit und Dichtung." What
Goethe said in this passage about this
dwelling will seem even to-day credible
TO the visitors of this house, which In
the last summer has undergone re.
storation. 1t Is still to-day "ein an.
sehnliches Gebaude," although It Is
only three stories high and surround.
ed by four or five storied modern
houses, and the words "sehr anstandig'
which Goethe used In describing Colt
DShedS apartment apply still to the
rooms of the new institut.
