Instead of the thirty-eight revolutions looked for before the contest we got an average of forty (corresponding to 3,400 H.P.) The point of special interest to us during the run was the condensing apparatus, but even when applying to low-pressure cylinder pass-over in the struggle of the last hour we had 21% in. vacuum and held it, with the assistancé of ice and cold water used freely externally on the condenser. The condenser was not, however, hot at any time and there was nothing 'in the stories that were printed on that score. We simply got all the power out of the machinery that was in it, and everybody did his duty and did it-well." -- A contract for the construction of a new steamer to replace the Druid, for which the Canadian government recently advertised, has been awarded to Flemming & Ferguson, Paisley, Scotland, at $110,960. The lowest Canadian tender was about $60,000 higher than the successful bidders. The new steamer will be 160 ft. long, 30 ft. wide and 13 ft. deep. Pan-American exposition rates to Buffalo via the Nickel Plate road-- Tickets now on sale at all stations, one and one-third fare for round trip, good returning fifteen days.
