KING ROAD DRAG is SIMPLE

The King split log road drag Is one
Of the simplest and most important

drag Of this kind after each rain, the
road may be easily and cheaply kept
In good condition all summer. The

be dry enough on top so the mud VIII

is one mans business to watch the
condition Of the road and use the
scraper when the time Is right.
The drag is easily made from q log
split in two in the middle. The log
should be eight feet long and the
halves pinned together with two-inch
rounds as shown In the cut. A board
Is placed on these rounds for the driv.

prepared for him he would finish, oc-
casionally allowing me to complete
one myself. He was employed pri1-
cipally by Messrs. Ball, Black & Co..
on the corner of Spring street and
Broadway, and occasionally by Tiff
fanny, to both OF which places brought
the canoes when completed, always
with a profound impression of the
extraordinary splendor OF those
palaces.
Immediately On being apprenticed
to Avet, l applied for admission to
the drawing school of the Cooper In

return from work at 6 o'clock and
a hasty tea, went down there, where
