PREPARING FOR THE RACES.
An Interview with Professor Huffcut,
of Cornell.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. Am inter-
view with Professor Huffcut, of Cornell,
a member of tie athletic advisory board
of that college, and inviting Yale to row
at Lake CayugaA near Ithaca, and proms-
ing the Yale CHEW that their expenses
would be paid II they would row there,
has occasloned sc me comment here. Bob
Cook, Yale's coach, said today:
by the terms of the five years Yale
Harvard agreemer t, the two colleges are
to row at New London this year. This
is settled and Lakp Cayuga is out OF the
question.
81 want to make one statement, how
ever, relative to .'emark sent out from
that the first half mile of the course at
New London is unfair, that the water is
shallow and that the oar blades catch in
the eel grass. The water is somewhat
shallow, grant that; but there is no eel
grass whatever there and there is none
whatever on the new course we have
surveyed at New London. The water is
not shallow enough there to bother the
crews. / have the word of Coach Court
ney, of Cornell, that the New London
course is perfectly good and fair, and his
opinion ought to be of weight among Cor
nell men. That offer that / made the
other day to give Cornell her choice OF
course, If she will row at New London,
repeat. ] do this simply to show that
Yale is perfectly fair and that II there is
any advantage to be found there, Cor
nell is welcome to it."

DEPOSITS GROWING LARGER.
Savings Plan at No. 10 school is a
Growing success.

Monday is the regular weekly deposit
day for the depositors in Public school
Nc. 1873 bank Monday, Dec. "a, 1897
was holiday and no deposits could
be made. However, Monday, Jan. B,
1898, was more than enough to equalize.
The deposits for this day amounted to
$29.42. This is the fifth deposit day
since the inception of the savings bank
feature and already nearly all of the
pupils are depositors. The next larg-
est deposit was the second one amount
ing to $lS.94.
Two reasons might be inferred why
last Mondays deposit was so large.
The first is that Santa Claus must
have taken note of what the pupils of
No. 10 were doing in cooperation with
their teachers and instead of toy, or
some such gift, cold cash was substi-
tuted. Then again some of the chill
dren may have decided to save some
of their Christmas spending money and
deposit it.
Either reason bespeaks the foothold
the idea has gotten among the chill
dren primarily and as a consequence
the parents. There seems to be left
no doubt as to the deposit" idea for
a two weeks vacation at Christmas is
certainly crucial enough so far as a
test is required to determine whether
the pupils will save or not.

which We're very encouraging. The
business to be disposed of was the
election of two trustees for the three
year term, renting of pews and the
question Of choir or no. The peWS
We're easily rented, many of them be-

The matter of choir was proVoca-
tive Of considerable discussion. 1t was
finally referred to the music commit
toe with power to act. The probabili-
ties are that Professor C. B. Derman
will be requested to select and build
up a choir from among the church
members. In addition the pastor, Rev.
j. p Moffatt, has assumed the task of
raising $4,000 towards the church's in
debtedness before April |, 1898. He re-
ported that $4,000 was already in sight
and arrangements would soon be COM
pleted towards getting the remaining

BUNDY TIME RECORDERS.
Two OF Them Have Been Installed
i'm the POstoffice.

Two Bundy time recorders, one for
carriers and one for clerks, have been
placed by the government in the post
office. They are manufactured by the
Bundy Manufacturing company, Of
Binghamton, N. y, and will keep tab
on the hours of Uncle Sans employees
The carriers recorder has forty-one
sets of four keys each for forty-one
men. Carrier No. 1, for instance, has
keys marked Il, !" al" RI and Ell"
The first is used when the carrier re-
ports for duty, the second when he
leaves for his delivery or collection, the
third when he returns, the fourth when
he finishes work. When carrier No. 8,
say, leaves for his route he inserts
key 'L5" in the recorder and turns it..
A bell rings and "L5" is printed on a
white roll Of paper tape opposite 1890
O'clock" or whatever hour at which
the key was turned. All the keys hang
on board alongside the recorder
The instrument looks like any good
large wall clock. 1t has dial show
ing the time Of dav. The ordinary
clock mechanism is connected with a
contrivance below the pendulum. The
lower apparatus makes the record on
the tape. The impression Is made from
the figures and letters contained on a
die on the key.
The recorder for the clerks is simpler
as it only records the time Of duty and
departure.
The local postoff1ce officials have not
received final instructions as to the use
of the clucks. 1t is known however
that the records made on the rolls OF
tape are to be copied in book at
regular periods, presumably for future
reference in case it is necessary to
know whether a clerk or carrier was
on duty at a given time and for the
use Of the executives of the office.
