ments here during his perin:endency. The
grounds have been so beautified as TO be scarce
iy recognized by those who saw them four
years ago, and Improvement is noted in every
quarter. Foremost amongst these improve
ments IS the large new building designed for
The quarters Of midshipmen. 1t is 800 feet long
and five stories in height, surnounted by an
Oh: eryatoIy. This Is perhaps the most COM
plete and best arranged building for its
purpose in the country, if not the world.
The steam fitting and cooking apparatus for
the building is supplied by Washington

lowest bidders against the largest plumb N &
houses of New York and Philadelphia; and
the work is admitted on all hands TO be equal
TO any in the country. The plumbing, gas
fitting and ventilating is done by the same
firm. II is gratifying to know tnat we have
