This offer found tacker and other
wagers were made until 100000 in
bets had been placed in one hotel
alone before the game started. So
close was the score all through the
game that during the last five min-
utes $4,000 was wagered on the
outcome. The game was played in
the biggest billiard room in the city
and an attendant was kept busy an
swering incessant telephone calls
for the score from nearly every
brokerage firm in the city. Other
persons playing pool and billiards
at the time quickly dropped their
games and with the attendants and
spectators hung upon the inferior
shots Of the amateur contestants.
Even the cashier deserted his count
CIR to watch. The final score after
several hours of play was 125 to ia.
A curious feture of the exciting
event was that neither player had
wagered a cent on the game. Broad

plish the work of the mightiest ma
chine in the world for the generation
Of electricity which has just been ad-
ded to New York's power resources
The most remarkable feature about
this new mechanical giant, a steam
turbine, is its relatively small size,
Only17 by liz feet at Its base, with
a height of IS X fet, the new genera
tor supplies power sufficient to pro-
vide all the electrical current requir-
ed by q city of 100000 population or
to furnish light alone to such a
group of cities as Albany, Syracuse
and Utica. Weighing but APO tons
the machine equals in ppower the
greatest lcviathan efioat. A striking
illustration of the development of
power facilities is afforded by COM
parison Of this last word in central

of the old generatorsl with a tota
weight of 1900 tons would be re-
quirod to do the work of the new
generator which could be enclosed in
a small cottage with room to spare.
The new generator uses -Four hum

densing this steam requires $4,000
coo gallons of water every twenty
