IMPROVED HEATING APPARATUs.-In the
large carpet store of Marrett. Bailey & Co. is
to be seen an improved apparatus for beating
which is worthy of attention in this cold
cline. This store had formerly been warmed
by furnace, but Of late it has been found in
adequate as the extreme ends of the rooms
were uncomfortable in the coolest weather with
even the best of fire in the furnace The i'm.
proVement has been introduced by w. Fl. Pen
NELL who has given the subject of heating and
ventilation much attention of late. On the top
OF the furnace directly over the fire is small
coil of pipe which branches off and runs into
seven different radiators throughout the store.
The coil is filled with water, and as it heats
rises to the radiators. As it cools it runs back
into the col! by another pipe, and is heated and
goes back to the radiators again thus forming a
complete circuit. The heat is regulated at the
radiators in the same manner as is steam. The
result is very satisfactory, and with small
amount of fuel this large store can be kent
very warm throughout

The Yale-Harvard Boat Race

Springfield, June 3o.-The Yale
Harvard race postponed yesterday
came off this forenoon, resulting in a
victory for the Harvards by a single
length. Time: Haryards, 24.36 Yales,
24:43.
The race was an exceedingly close
one from the start, there being at no
time more than two length. difference
in the position Of the crews and some
of the time less than one, but the su-
perior physique Of the Harvards was
too much for the finer trained Yale
crew.
AT 1O:4O the crews were in their
boats and at 1913 the race began, the
Harvards working finely with thirty
two stroke oars a minute while the
Yales spurted OFF with thirty-six. The
latter crew, it was noticed, did not pull
with the scientific precision Of the
Harvards which took the lead, passing
the first mile a length ahead. This
was justlopposite State street and the
enthusiasm was immense. The Yales
had now settled down to their work
and were striving to close up the gap
while the Harvards were working tc
keep and increase her lead.
At the second mile the Harvards lee
by a boat length and a half. Botf
crews here pulled in towards the ives
shore to avoid heavy waves which a
this point were very high.

held their own while the Yales were
