New Heating System
For MYRTLE st. School

Work on the installation of a
new heating system in the Myrtle
street school building is going on
apace and it will be completed in
ample time for the opening OF the
school next month.
The new school will be a combi-
nation of vapor and direct steam
and 1t will be the only system Of
its Kind in the school buildings of
the city. The heat will at most
times be given by vapor but there
is an automatic control which will
supply the direct steam when 1t Is
needed on very cold mornings. AS
the vapor heat requires much low
er pressure than does steam, less
than a pound being sufficient, there
will be a considerable saving on coal,
besides a diffusion of even heat.
To make way for the new boilers,
which will be two in number, four
antiquated hot air furnaces have
been removed. A large boiler pit in
the western part of the basement
has been constructed and the new
boilers will be put in place within
a few days.
The ventilating stack, which runs
up through the center of the build
ing is undergoing extensive repairs
To replace the two fiues which 1t
previously contained there is to be
one steel stack, 80 inches in dia-
meter and 66 feet high.
After the task is finished the plan
of the basement will be somewhat
changed, the coal pocket having
been moved and made larger.
Besides the new heating system
the school building is receiving the
same general repairs as are the 9TH
er buildings of the city. All broken
glass is being replaced and in some
instances new sashes are being put
in. The rooms are to be thoroughly
cleaned before school opens and the
walls will be repaired where 1t is
considered necessary.
The Myrtle street school Is one
of the older brick school buildings
of the city, having been built in
1897. But it was well planned and
will meet the demands placed upon
it for some years to come.

Free for All at
Waterville Fair to
Provide Much Speed

With he Central Maine Fair but
a little over three weeks away peo-
pie of Waterville and towns sur
rounding are beginning to take ac-
tive interest in getting ready for
what is always one of the biggest
events of the year.
The farmers have for several
weeks been preparing their animals
for the event and reports coming
from the directors are that the ex-
hibits this year are going to the best
in years.
But there is one part of the fair
that is going to be just little bit
better than it ever was before If plans
work out as expected and that is the
free -for-all which comes on the last
day.
Races at the Central Maine Fair
have always been good and have
satisfied the fans every year and
this year would be no exception
without the free-for-all, judging
from the fine entry list that has al
ready been published for the stake
races.
Not much is going to be said
about the big race just now but
those who are planning on going to
the fair will do we'll to watch for
further announcements for it was
limited yesterday afternoon by one
Of the Fair officials that the track
record hung up by Diamond O., two
years ago this summer is very liable
to go by The board by considerable
margin, if arrangements are COM
pletod to bring the string of horses
here tina. they are now negotiating
for.
1t can be said for a certainty at
the present time that Auto Pace and
Valley Day, two of the fast ones
that have been doing things worth
while on the Northern Maine and
New Brunswick tracks are going to
be bid.ers for first money in the
free -fcr-all that will be run of on
the Central Maine Fair track on the
afternoon of Sept. 3. Auto Pace Is a
black gelding by the Autocrat and
he has been winning some races up
North, although he has had some
mighty stiff competition from John
r. Era6en. Auto Pace has beeh
clocked several tines in around 2.OS
and very seldom does his mark on
those tracks go below 200.
Valley Day is gray gelding and
his record in Aroostook county is
not very sorrowful for ne has hung
up a race or two in 208 IL and
200, beating Auto Pace, John Il.
Braden and Jackson Grattan upo:i
occasion.
With those two horses stepping to
the mile at that pace it might looi.
off-hand as though the first moneJ
in the free-for-all was a toss up be-
tween the two, but fans are just
urged to watch the Journal for fur
ther announcements and when the
speed kings come down to the wire
they may see two or three horses
that look as good as the two al
ready signed UP.
There are going to be three "a
class races during the fair, the en-
tries for which close Aug. 70. The
2.12 trot with purse Of $500 should
be pretty nearly as coed to watch a.
the -for-all and the 2.16 pace
and 2.21 trot are scheduled to be
good races. ---

Three Vehicles in
Winthrop St. MiXup

A hayrack loaded with hay, a pony
cart and an automobile got into
mix-up about $50 Wednesday after
noon on Winthrop hill near Pleasant
street. and for a moment threatened
serious results. The driver of the
automobile swerved out to avoid run
ming into the load of hay and found
the pony cart in the way. His brakes
were apparently not in good condi-
ton. and the car ran into the back
of the pony cart which was driven by
Franklin Jones. He had presence of
mind. enough to cling to the reins
thus preventing the pony from rum
ming away. No damage was done to
any of the vehicles except for bro
ken wheel on the pony cart.

City Marshal Gray issues a word
of warning concerning dogs. Citi-
zens are advised during the hot
weather to keep their dogs off the
street, or if they allow them to run
loose, TO muzzle them. This is not
an official order but advice to ensure
the safety of children. One dog has
already been shot during the past
few days on suspicion of madness.
1t would be better for the dogs to
be kept at home in a cool spot and
the chances of injury to the young
sters playing about would be much
lessened.
