There are various ways of hanging sashes of this kind, but 

 Mr. Gray's arrangements appear to be so complete, that we 

 have deemed it important to 

 illustrate the plan. We had 

 occasion to witness the ease 

 and rapidity with which they

 one end of the house to the 

 other, was closed. Mr. Rus- 

 sel, whose experience is ex-

 mode could be devised.

 which it is drawn is too 

 large to admit its entire 

 length in our page; and in 

 order to show how the hori- 

 zontal bars, which support 

 the sash bars, are arranged, 

 we have represented them in 

 the plan as before described, 

 in fig. 25. The doors, ven- 

 tilators, (fcc. are all so plain, 

 as to render particular details

 grapery, with its smooth, 

 luibroken, curved roof, is 

 much more ornamental than 

 the ordinary structures for this purpose. Ther(i is a lightness
