improvements put upon her during her
summer rest, until the changes made proved
that they were a success; and now after
making a business trip she returns covered
all over with glory, and what is more sub
stantial, with money in the safe even in this
dull season. The saving of fuel on the
round trip has been, taking other trips as
comparison, between three and four hum
dred dollars. at the same time increasing
her speed We are heartily glad of the sue
