"That property belongs to the New York institution for the blind, which la a state institution. They don't want it cut up, and that la the reason they were glad to give it to us on a long lease. Streets have not even been plotted on the city map. and no one ever bad an idea of putting one through there. The talk that the people of that locality want a way to get on the other side without golni? around is all nonsense. There i« no reason for any one wanting- to get on, the other side, because th'-re is nothing but a preci pice there. "We are too strongly er-ttled there now to be overthrown. One of the principal owners of the club is a leader in politics, and it \\\U be hard for any one to get such a proposition through the city hall authorities." When asked if he thought Charles Baird would Btick to his acceptance of the position of manager of the Boston club, Mr. Johnson said: "I don't see any other way than that Baird will b« in Boston next year. It is a lot better job than the one at the Michigan uni versity, and I don't doubt but what he would rather have It."
