The Harvard and Oxford Universities
boats crews were out this evening on the
river for a final trial over the course, prior to
the inter-Universty race. The Harvard
crew made the distance, four and quarter
miles, in 25 minutes seconds. The Oxford
time, as reported, was 80 seconds less but
the Harvards started from the barge, while
the Oxfords took fly ing start, commencing
their pulling 300 or 400 yards below the barge
so as to get a good speed stroke on before
reaching the starting point The tide was
also more In their favor. The betting on the
result is nominally six to four but at present
Z here exists no apparent inclination to give
odds. 1t rs now definitely settled that the
2Iarvards will row in the boat built by Elliott,
2he American builder. They have adhered
bersistently to tn cir style of rowing, REFUSING

BOYNTONS ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

This new and beautiful Range, which has just
been completed is offered to the public as the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
Oven Range in the market, and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it as the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
Oven Range in the country.
We Will enumerate some of the peculiar adyan-
tages this Range possesses
First-n is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
Second-It has much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans affording larger accom-
modations for Cooking purposes.
Third-It has smaller Fire Chamber and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range, for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead Of an
open CRATE in front and water back in the rear
forming two sides of the fire (as in all other pattern
ranges both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power, and make it abso
lutely necessary to burn larger amount of fuel.
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns, and is like the French Kitch-
eners, making 1t much more convenient and easy
for the cook
Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible
placed in natural position being in the body of
the Range) instead of above the ovens. in other
patterns
sixth-The ovens do not project over the boiling
surface SO to make it inconvenient in removing
the boilers; in other patterns
Seventh-There are better arrangements for con-
yeying the steam to chimneys and controlling the
draft than most ranges.
Mghth-The ovens bake more evenly, we have
return fiue over the top of the oven (Which is the
point that most often fails thus securing perfect
baking oven on the top as well as on the bottom.
Ninth-The fues in this range are all complete in
themselves so that it is unnecessary to form them
of brick, (which absorbs the heat,) and makes the
setting of them much more simple and sure
Tenth-The water back can be removed and the
plumbing work can be repaired if necessary, with
out disturbing the brick work.
