With cheers threatening the walls of the banquet hall, Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum led an inspired Ki- wanis team to unheard-of heights in the Y Membership Enrolment Campaign last night to score in one days report 906 points, nearly equalling the record of the whole campaign for last years winning team.
 October II Is known throughout, the country as Founders Day" for the Y. M. c. A. The local Y cele- brated with the finest membership campaign showing in It's history, passing last years first night record by 2500 points, with an unusually fine attendance of enthusiastic team workers and with numerous testimonials to the splendid inval- uable work the association is doing in the city of Waterbury.
 On the record d-breaking service club team are such workers as Dr. Kirschbaum, Dr. O. J. Bizzozero, Dr. John H. Foster, Dr. Bevans, Henry Long, Roland s. Hotchkiss, G. Horace Baldwin, Lawrence G. Bean, John T. Monzani and Henry Ellis. The Kiwanis turned in 58 members.
 Captain Adolph Raymond, leader of the former pennant winners, the Lions Club, also turned in an un- usually high score for the first re- port supper, with a record Of 38 members and 659 points. The Lions are trailing by PAT points.
 The high reports of many of the other teams indicate that the cam paign will go over the top with Q bang. Dutton Noble's team scored 3O6 points; the Jewish team 358; the Rotary team 380. The three service clubs are now holding the three top positions.
 The gathering of loyal Y workers to support the campaign has brought forward many glowing tributes to the work of the Associa- ton in Waterbury, many just criti- cisms and their need for correction, but never such enthusiasm and such 8 collection of witty wise- cracks as passed among the gener- als and majors last evening. nor such cheers as greeted the tremen- dous reports as they were turned in.
 General Carmody's Blue Army IS out in front with lead of 600 points. The Blues secured 469 dol- lars more than the Reds, even though the Reds trailed them by only nine members. The report for this year as compared with the first report supper of 1884 shows gain of 2.554 points.
 The men at the head table with John A. Coe and the leaders among the team workers in every team seemed to reflect the enthusiasm and the drive which prompted the Y founder. George Williams, to start the original Y. M. o. A. back in l844. The men in the Big Friend- ly Y banquet hall last night gave definite evidence of their absolute belief in the need for the Y in Wa terbury and the value of it's service among the youth of the city.
 One after another the leaders spoke of selling experiences In thelr campaign work. Dr. Larkin told Of different types of people, of their refusals and excuses compared witn the generous response of the self made man. who has confidence in

The entrancing and graceful steps of the four hand reel and the joy brought about through joining partners in the Irish jig. believed to have been left on the Emerald Isle, has been revived in this city with a great deal of interest.
 A few months ago 8 small class was organized and beginners soon took liking to the pastime and as q result became accomplished dancers. These pupils were made instructors as the class grew con- siderably larger. Today several hun- dred, both men and women, have fallen away from the modern ball. room dancing and attend the Irish affairs conducted here.
 The local classes which are held every Tuesday night at Eagles hall. are under the direction of Peter Crowley. While participating in the annual national feis at the New York Coliseum last Sunday, Crow ley was awarded a medal and third national honors for perfection in the art of instruction and per- formance of the various dances. Several thousand persons witness cd the competition including many prominent in national and interna- tional life.
 Immediately following the result of the feis, the local instructor was the recipient of several flattering offers and he is now considering &C., cepting one. In the event of his leaving this city he will be succeed ed by one of his pupils, who will be selected pending the decision of Br. Crowley.
 In keeping with the requirements necessary for the dance perform ance, an ish-American orchestra has been organized by Daniel Cliff ford and John O'Sullivan. The musicians are talented in their art and have been of great assistance to the classes.

AirConditioning
Odd System Being Installed
to Give Hamilton Hotel
=, Air Cooling.
By LAWRENCE TUCKER.

Patrons Of the Hamilton Hotel ut
Fourteenth and K streets will soon be
able to enjoy an atmosphere Of air
conditioned comfort during their visit
to Washington this Summer.
The installation Of an elaborate
and odd air conditioning system IL
proceeding at . rapid rate at the
Hamilton, and before very long the
top five floors Of the building will be
completely equipped with the latest
cooling equipment.
A well has been drilled to q depth
Of 81 feet, from which large quantities
Of cold water will be pumped to the
machinery located on top Of the
structure. This water will be circu-
lated through the giant I'm type coils
which are now being put in place,
cooling the air as 1t is forced through
the conditioner by the motor driven
blower.
Method Novel Here.
Adjacent to the cold water cooling
equipment viii be located the de-
hunidifying and reheating coils
which will effect the actual drying Of
the air after it leaves the preceding
coils.
This method of doing the actual
cooling with naturally cold well
water Is unique in this part of the
country. It makes available an ex-
tremely large cooling capacity with
only a relatively small amount Of
equipment. In other words the actual
| cooling Is accomplished with mex
pensive well water equipment and the
dehumidifying is taken care OF by
the standard refrigeration machinery.
Possibly the most unusual feature
Of this installation will be the method
Of distributing the air after 1t leaves
the cooling machinery on the roof.
The conditioned air will be carried
down through the building through
sheet metal ducts to each Of the five
floors. It will be under slight pres
sure and will utilize the halls and
corridors as reservoirs for distribution
| to the various rooms. The tempera-
ture of this air will be controlled by
q thermostat on each floor 50 that 1t
will automatically be maintained at
q temperature only five degrees cooler
than inside the rooms.
Room Control Provided.
A clever system has been devised
permitting individual control for each
room. In the transom above the door
to each room will be located q small
fan which will be connected to snap
switch and a thermostat. II the oc-
cupant Of the room desires air cooling,
he pushes the switch. the fan sucks In
the conditioned air which Is being
forced into the halls, and in q few
minutes the room Is comfortable. The
thermostat then automatically starts
and stops the transom fan controlling
the supply Of cool air and maintains q
constant temperature at all times.
| This decidedly different" air con-
ditioning system was designed by r.
B. Crawford, one of the country's
outstanding air conditioning experts.
and Is being installed under his di-
rection. C. Piehl, engineer for the
Manager Hotels is supervising the in
stallation for the hotel owners.
The management Of the hotel has
stated that the remaining floors Of
the building will be supplied with
conditioned air in the near future,
making the Hamilton one of the first
hotels in the country to offer manu-
factured climate throughout.
