NEW HOSPITAL
INSPECTED
Hundreds of Persons Call at
the Physicians and Surgeons
Institution
TO RECEIVE PATIENTS
BY THE NEW YEAR

The new Physicians and Surgeons
Hospital, at Eighth and Adams streets,
was opened for public inspection last
night, and il now ranks with the Del
aware and Homeopathic hospitals as
one Of the city's Institutions OF mercy
and philanthropy. Public interest in
the new institution was given ample
evidence by throngs that visited the
hospital from z o'clock until 1880. II
was impossible to accommodate all
visitors at once. and as others in
spected many were obliged TO form
I'm line outside the doors.
All during the evening a line that
extended from the front door to the
pavement stood awaiting admittance.
The visitors entered by the main
entrance on Adams street, and left by
the side door opening on Eighth street.
Members Of the committee welcomed
the visitors when the doors were first
thrown open, and conducted them
through the building. Owing to the
size Of the crowd IL was not deemed
advisable 10 permit all to enter the
rooms. and these were ribboned on
and viewed from the Railways.
Visiting Physicians.
Interest in the building was eouailed
only by the appreciation expressed for
the efforts TO provide the city with
a hospital 10 which all physicians
would be admitted TO practice. Many
well-lnown visiting physicians and
most of the local physicians interested
/ in the building were among the Wis
itors. DR.. Barton Cook, professor OF
/ obstetrics. Of the University Of Penn
/ sylvania; DR.. John c. Hirst, chief OF
the maternity clinics. OF the same uni
versity; DR.. Swithin Chandler. Of Phil.

The furnishings for seventeen Of the
thirty-two rooms In the hospital come
from the store Of NJ Megary & Sons

manager OF the store, gave the fitting
out Of the hospital his personal super
vision, and the result was that the
rooms were completely furnished long
before the time the hospital committee
estimated.
While the rooms were furnished
under contract by Megary and Son,

houses also made some donations OF
furniture to the hospital.

CHESS
IN RICE TOURNEY
Landry Increases His Lead.
Moorman Ahead in Cham-
pionship PIay-0ff.

Continued activity has been the order of
the day (and night in the annual Rice
gambit tournament, which is in progress
at the Chess Club. Twenty games have
been played during the week, OF which
number Prof. Rice's famous opening won
Sia as against liz by the black forces
AS far as the attack is concerned, this is
a considerable Improvement on the pre-
vious record, and indicates that the play
ers are becoming better acquainted with
the apparently insurmountable difficulties
which the numerous variations of the de-
fense present. The total games played to
date have been sixty, of which white has
won nineteen and black forty-one.
The gambit can be demonstrated, OH
paper. to at least hold its own against
any line of play which the defense may
adopt, but the correct procedure is at
times exceedingly hard to find, while any
sort of slip-up is usually more disas-
trous to the sambit player than to the
one handling the defense. All of which
argues against the success of the gambit
when played over the board without thor
ough preparation
Landry continues TO play expert chess
the devious ways of the Rice attack and
defense. and he plays either side of the
board with equal skill. He has now a
very substantial lead of the rest of the
field. being .oe3 per cent ahead of his
nearest opponent Pratt. There are a
good many games still to be played how
ever. so there will yet be opportunity for

OF the veteran pitchers. Mullin and
Summers are most unpretentious this
way. The diamonds in the Mullin family
are worn by Mrs. Mullin. while Summers
has never hankered for a stone, although
we'll fixed to wear one.
Mcintyre. killifer and Beckendorf do
not wear diamonds. although Matty and
Red were participants in the worlds
series. Both used their money to another
advantage, killifer sinking his pile in
lumber interests on the coast.
The young pitchers have still to make
their pile in base ball. Speer, Works and

bly, blaze forth with "illlninators" like
the veterans of the team do today.

Will Organize Track Team.
| The Holy Name boys have never sup
ported track team, but realizing that a
good track team is invariably associated
with a good athletic club steps are now
being taken to organize one. There is a
lot of good material in the club. which is
waiting for a little bit of encouragement
to bring it out. AND the prospects look
very bright for this branch of sport.
Among those who have already shown
considerable class may be mentioned Bah
bingtOn, the crack Quartermier of the
Mercury Athletic Club; Limberger, KuntZ
and kerriggan, in the dashes: Goodwin
and Collins, in the middle-distance runs:
Ashton. in the weight events. and Kelley,
in the broad jump AS several members
of the other club teams have sgnifed
their intention Of joining the club and
trying for the relay team it will prob
ably be pretty fast one.
This season was their first attempt at
basket ball, and although the team did not
turn out to be world beater," yet it
managed to hold its own and displayed
pretty good form at times. 1t was beaten
in it's first game. the Fredericksburg Col
lege doing the trick. The "churchmen"
won an exciting game from the team rep

banded for the season. 1t was composed
of Hildreth, center; Ashton, right for
ward; Fuse, left forward; Limberger,
right guard, and Collins or Kerney, left
guard. The boys will get a new start
next year and will endeavor to develop
one of the strongest teams in the Dis
trict, with the idea in view of entering
one of the local leagues. Arrangements
have already been completed whereby
they will be strengthened by several good
men from other teams.
The Holy Name wrestling team has new
er entered in any tournaments, but it's
members are training hard and faithfully
with the idea Of entering in all future
ones. Members of the team and classes
are: Carr, 1853 pounds; Kelley and Ashton.
100 pounds, and w. Babbington, 100
pounds.
Kelley and Carr are also good boxers,
but they never get any opportunities to
enter any amateur boxing matches here
in the District, SO they do not work much
at it any more.
The Churchmen's bowling team. COM
posed of Carr. W. Babbington, Kerrig
gan and Rogers. is considered a good one,
but owing to the scarcity Of other club
bowlers they do not find many opportuni
ties for competition in their class.
The captains Of the different teams are:
Ashton. foot ball; Limberger, base ball;
Hildreth. basket ball; Carr. wrestling;
Babbington, field and track; Kelley, box
ing, and Rogers, bowling.
