Capt. A. j. Whitney, the steamboat

Mr.. Bailey Davenport for strip of land
with frontage of 800 feet on the river
and just below Kahlke's yards, for
period of ten years. The purpose is to
use the property for boat ways and erect
sheds and warehouses for the manufac-
ture and repair of steamers, and no effort
will be spared to make one of the best
steamboat yards on the Mississippi be-
tween Keokuk and St. Paul. The loca-
ton is very desirable one for the pur-
pose and it is a wonder that it has not
been thought of before, as it affords a
harbor doubly protected from ice, and
very convenient place for getting boats
out of the water for repair or for launch
ing new boats.

To the Standard.

KNOXVILLE, Aug. 20.
Everybody is astir at the Universi-
ty of Tennessee, and making prepar-
ations for the opening of the next
session, which begins on the 10th of
September. The prospects are very
bright and they are looking for a
very large attendance. OF the 275
Free State Scholarships, over $50
have already been taken. This does
not include the pay students, or the
students from other states, so that
everything points to very large in
crease.
All the buildings have been thor
oughly renovated, and every availa-
BILE room will be occupied. The ma
sons, carpenters, plumbers, painters
and electricians are all at work there
today. Additional shops are being
fitted up for the Mechanical building,
and the whole nicely painted. The
Edison Incandescent Electric Light
plant is being put up, and all the
buildings and grounds are being
lighted with it. The boat house for
the University boat-club is under
construction, and the students and
their friends will be prepared here
after to fully enjoy the beautiful Ten
nessee river.
The plans for the new University
building are progressing favoyably.
Professor Wait, who has been to Eu-
rope this summer, and has seen the
leading scientific laboratories of great
Britain and France, writes that the
new building of the University OF
Tennessee will be fully equal in
point of convenience and arrange
ment to the best of them, if not in ar.
chitectual grandeur and cost.
The new railroad, on which the
great disaster occurred, comes in back
of the University, and skirting the
University grounds, will be termi-
rated at a fine depot at the foot of the
hill, between the University and the
town. The new town of Yves
Knoxville has graded the street!
and built sidewalks all around
the University and the grounds
These are great improvements and
will give the University grounds {
much better setting, and will result
in surrounding them with privat
residences of the best class of people
1t is building up rapidly.
In spite of numerous invitation
extended them to go elsewhere, w
learn that the entire corps of instruc
tors and professors, who did such fin
work and made the University s
popular last session, will return t
their positions next year with in
creased zeal. The people have com
fully to realize that the institution i
