12 MARINE REVIEW. "A DOLLAR SAVED IS A DOLLAR EARNED." Results Obtained from the Application of Howden's Hot Dratt System On the PASSENGER STEAMER VIRGINIA, (See Letter Below,) And on the Coarse Freight Carrying STEAMER HARVEY H. BROWN, Show an immense saving in fuel. A ton of cargo carried a mile on 8-10 of an ounce of fuel, or a ton of cargo carried 170 miles at the rate of 13.2 miles per hour on a cent's worth of fuel, are performances that have been attain- ed on but one steamer on the lakes--that steamer is the Harvey H. Brown fitted with HOWDEN'S HOT DRAFT SYSTEM. Orrick OFTHE PRESIDENT. > -- 2 : cpio /ZeGRONTION 5) : ou ee. VWranst ue ae FOOT OF MICHIGAN AVENUE, Frank E Kirby.
