Milelr has represented in this state for twenty-one years, manu- factured all of the furnishings, He sells the tables made by the firm, which he considers of superior make. Each table has six handsomely carved legs, and the table proper is of double thick slate. The tables each weigh 4,000 pounds. An exhibition table, on which games will be played by experts on the opening night, weighs 4,500 pounds.

 The bar is in the Roman style and of massive oak. The bar plumbing is a splendid piece of workmanship, and is perfect in every detail. Back of the bar are two 10-foot plate glass mirrors Tn front ofthe parlors is five-foot show case, entirely of metal and glass. This piece of workmanship is very attractive and unique feature, as it is the only show case of the kind in the city. Near this case stands hand some ornamental cigar lighter, which Mir. Miller imported from Paris. On the south front of the parlors is fitted up the wholesale office of Bruns- wick Bake Collender Co, of New York, for MT. Millers use as Connec- ticut manager.
 A new feature of the pool tables are the patent gulleys, which convey | the Dool halls into a basket resting near the floor. Another feature is the patent counters on racks placed on the walls. The count of the players scores l is kept by turning these balls on the | different tiers so they will show red. l This does away with the old method of keeping the games and 1t is great improvement. When the game is fin- | ished lever is pulled and all the red ] balls are turned, showing white again. It is very ingenious and convenient l device.
 | The parlors are lighted by day by large skylights, which give them a very light and cheerful appearance

He has catered to the college trade and general public for twenty five years, and knows how to keep bill Hard and pool parlors on the highest standard, and "The Yale" promises to prove very popular place.
 The parlors will be formally opened | to the public this evening.
