bmpletion of Borings Under Hudson
River—One of Greatest of Engineer
ing Feats.
I After half a century of speculation
n the practicability of tunneling the
Judson river from New Jersey to the
(land of Manhattan, it is now possi-
le to walk dry-shod from Jersey to
lew York. The twin bores have been
bmpleted; that is, they have been cut
■trough and cased in, though of course
bme finishing touches are yet to be
lit upon' them. It was a few days
go that in the presence of the engi
neers, the directors aad a dozen re-
Orters, W. G. Oakman, president of
be Hudson Companies, split an old
rick bulkhead with a hydraulic Jack
nd completed the first Manhattan-
ersey tunnel system. There was a
Ix-inch gap in the wall. A gang of
ground hogs” rammed the breach a
Ittle wider, and the party crawled
brough into New York city.
The old wall that was cut through
'as seven feet thick. It is the relic
f a former -failure to tunnel the
ludson. Twenty-three years ago the
hgineers of the old Hudson Company,
[ter cutting a considerable distance
tider the river, abandoned the enter-
rise and walled in the unfinished
fork with this brick bulkhead.
[Two tube-tunnels run parailel be-
teath the Hudson river, the work of
bring them being done under direc-
pn of the New York and New Jer-
ly Railroad Company, but this com-
iny entrusted the actual performance
[ the work tq the Hudson Companies.
[The present tube has been two
bars in the course of construction,
no tubes will cost when completed
lout $13,000,000, and the entire work

It having been proved practicable
to tunnel beneath the Hudson river,
the Pennsylvania Railroad undertak
ing will be pushed rapidly, and it may
be expected that in course of time ev
ery trunk line coming into Jersey City
will have its own tunnel. The East
river piercings do not present much
of a problem. In less than five years
trains ought to be running from Phil
adelphia to Boston with no water to
be crossed.
It is believed that within ten years
electric trains will make the trip from
Philadelphia to New York in one hour.
