CLAIMS OF CREDITORS IN PETI- TITION SMALL. The A. M.

The claim of John M. O'Connor & Co. is for advertising. George I. Considine is one of the best known men in the sporting world of New York, and some years ago his name was known the world over. The old Metropole, Forty-second street, Is well remembered, and the new hostelry has not been any less popular as ar sort for actors, bohemians and ali classes of sports. It has been long the popular hotel for vaudevillians, and is noted for its ubrette Row. When the Metropole was opened Con- sidine threw away the key and the doors of th hotel have never since been closed. The “late game" has been a particularly interesting gathering of fight promote: fy fi ring celeb- ritles, has-beens and hopes-to-be. Ac- tors ‘and worshippers at the shrine of Momus are wont to foregather in the cafe and at the bar, people to whom time was no odject, who live beneath the moon and sleep beneath the sun. It was thought that the Metropole was @ veritable mint, but in the Hixht of to- days’ proceedings It would seem that che mint was only an assay shop and that the assays didn’t pan.
