A TWENTY-STORY HOTEL.

The block front on the east side
of Fifth avenue, between Twenty
sixth and Twenty-seventh streets.
has been bought by New York and
Boston capitalists, who will build a
2O-story hotel. The property in
cludes the site of the old Hotel
Brunswick, after which the new hos
telry will be named. The total cost
will be S7,5OO,OOO. The site of the
proposed hotel measures 1877 feet six
inches on the avenue and 100 feet
on each street. 1t has cost $2,75OOOO
and $4,750,O0O is to be expended on
the building.
The hotel will be the largest in the

The building will be taken over by
the Hotel Brunswick company,
whose president is Gustav Baumann,
of the Holland house.
The directors of this company will
include ex-Gov. Oliver Ames, of Bos-
ton; Thomas L. James, Edward Hol-
brook and H. j. Park. 1t is the in

BOAT IS 4 HUMMER.
New Submarine Boat Surpasses Ex-
pectations During Tests.
while Submerged, the Torpedo Boat
Exceeds Its- speed Linait,
Even when Costending
Against the Tide Flow.

The submerged.trial of the new sub
marine torpedo boat Adder was held
the other day over the course in the
Peconic bay, at the upper end of Long
Island, and it's performance surpassed
the expectations of its warmest
friends. Eight.submerged runs were
made-four with and four against the
tide-for the purpose of obtaining
speed curve and standardizing the
screws.
1t was thought by the contractors
that the speed submerged might fall
slightly short of the maximum of
seven knots, especially as the boat was
prepared for surface and awash runs
to-day, with the gas engine and the
batteries used on the submerged runs
only half charged. But the nearest
figures from an official source gave
the maximum speed of the Adder
shown at 1.0Sl knots, or nearly one
tenth of a knot more than the highest
speed required, Beginning at 6O2
knots on the first run, the boat was
speeded up to lite maximum. The Off
cial speed will not be reported until
the speed curve i known.
Those on board report the boat was
perfectly manageable, and those on
shore say its course was true. During
the trials the boat was Theoretically
sealed for two hours. Capt. Frank P.
Cable commanded and had three men,
bers of the crew which recently con-
Quoted the successful tests of the
English submarines at Borrow.
During the run the boat steered well
and responded readily, Capt. Cable
making wide and short turns at the
end of the course at will to show the
nayigable qualities of the boat, ltwas
submerged about 10 feet and the bot
tom was about the same distance from
the bottom of the bay.

The ingenuity and determination

and during October California success

we carry our sports too far When see
mere schoolboys pren,a turely trained so
that they are veterans on entering college,
when captains of college football and base

Of sport for sports sake. 1t is the strain
of competition that Is distasteful TO me;
the anxious look the heart pounding
against the ribs, the feeling that it will
be a relief when the contest is over. In
place Of all this l like to see the we'll
trained man, in perfect condition, go out
for exercise or competition-calm, cool,
thoroly interested in all that is going on,
but out for fun, with winning or losing a
matter of no moment That makes sport
Of value to a man.
Thus, while the words of President Eliot

plenty of good, hard work-it is not only
our right, but our duty, to have some play
along with it, not as competitor, but as
cheering and valued ally, to be relied on

Time was when the automobile
was considered simply pleasure We
hicle, and the fact that it might be
useful in winter was not thought Of.
In the last year, however, the popu-
lar opinion has changed. This year
autos are almost as common sights
on the street as they were five months
ago.
The introduction of air-cooled mo-
tors has had much to do with this
change. AS every chauffeur knows,
it is impracticable to run a water
cooled motor machine in Minnesota
in December or January without dan
ger of the water freezing. The sub
sequent events are too narrowing to
be printed. Non-freezing cooling So
lutions are being used to some extent
but are experimental to a certain de-
gree. One business firm in town has
run a delivery wagon thru the early
months of the winter. and has not
had a moments delay from break
downs.
The auto is rapidly gaining favor as
a mode of conveyance in winter. AS
a pleasure vehicle it has some faults
March Is. Physicians and other pro-
fessional men. however, find the auto
very convenient in making calls.
There is no fear that d valuable ami
NAL may be damaged by leaving it
outdoors in cold weather, nor is the
doctor liable to prosecution for leav-
ing his auto unblanketed on the
street.
Recognizing the fact that auto
maniacs may wish to enjoy drives in
their machines the year round, man
ufacturers have invented many de-
vices whereby chauffeurs can keep
comfortable, tho in an auto in De-
cember. 1t is now possible to buy a
glass top for any make of auto. These
tops can be put on or removed at
pleasure, and they afford ample pro-
lection from the wind. A fur-lined
sack also has been devised, and into
this the chauffeur may tuck his feet
and legs and be warm as the proven
bial slice of toast, however fiercely
the polar blasts rage. Face masks,
and many other appliances, enable the
driver to keep warm in even thirty
beloW-zero weather.
Many Minneapolis men have al
ready bought new machines for next
year. e. j. Phelps Swan Turnblad,

Brooks have secured twenty-horse

over their brethren who cannot run

Highwaymen secured dead dog
when they held up A. E. Bates, janitor
of the Heusey building, at Seattle, the
other night. They did not know
what they had secured until they had
made their escape, so they could take
no vengeance on their victim. To
this time the footpads probably think
they were given the wrong end OF a
practical joke. The body of the dog
had been wrapped in paper, and Bates
was taking it by circuitous route to
the water front to cast it away after it
had been dissected by well-known
physician. Bates left the building
about 1890 o'clock at night. He
reached the corner of Third and Pine
streets when two highwaymen sprang
out upon him, thrust gun in his
face and boldly demanded that his
hands be held up. In doing as the
thugs demanded Bates naturally
dropped the package he was carrying.
Without a word the two grabbed il
from the ground and were quickly out
OF sight. Then Bates went home.
