The resignation of Miss Gordon, as superintendent of the general hospital, has been placed in the hands of the chairman of the governing board, G. Y. Chown, to be acted upon as the management committee deems best.

The question of reverting to the former system of having a medical superintendent is to be considered at the governors' September meeting, and the suggested change is likely to be carried into effect, as the hospital has not been conducted in a satisfactory manner, since the abolition of the office of medical superintendent. The present superintendent, it is understood, wishes to allow a free discussion of the proposed changes, and tenders her resignation, to be acted upon as the governors deem best.

England's expert women tennis players are pretty sure to pay a visit to America within the course of a year.

Miss May Sutton, who had the misfortune to lose her title of champion of the world in England recently, is booming the idea with might and main, and she is backed by Mrs. As-, tor and other Americans. Miss Sutton would dearly love to get another chance at Miss Douglas, the woman who defeated her. in the British championships, on American soil. Mylne Is Dangerous.

The Rochester Post Express says There is no one who will not admit had the Zoraya been the choice of the Royal Canadian Yacht club as challenger last summer the Canada cup would now be resting on the other side of the lake. The fact that Sir Thomas Lipton engaged Mylne to design him an America cup challenger did not impress yachtsmen on inland waters greatly, and when the Fife boat beat his Canada cup creation, the Zoraya, last summer, there was not a gasp of surprise. It was only what was expected. But when the yacht turned up, defeats Fife's Temeraire in nine races, and: in blow and in calm and gentle consecutive, breeze outclasses the victorious Iroquois, designed by Charles F. Herreshoff, who is regarded as perhaps the most brilliant and promising of the younger American designers, yachtsmen on this side see that they must "sit up and take notice." On the first venture lake racing Mylne builds a Zoraya.

Fife is better equipped in experience conditions on this side through the number of yachts he has built for yachtsmen on the great lakes but he fails before his younger Scottish rival, just as Herreshoff has. Fife for the coming battle for Canada cup honors has the result of last summer's observations and study during the racing weeks--and he applies himself as industriously as a man can. He may be regarded as more dangerous than Fife. MARINE NEWS. What is Gathered From Around Marine Paragraphs.
