That started the tide irresistably to ward Stevenson. Even New York finally and reluctantly changed from Hill to Stevenson. That ended it. Stev enson's nomination was assured.

Towers of Skeleton -Steel to Be Sixty Feet Higher Thau the Brooklyn Itridge A Mile and Three-Eighths Ixng To Cost i Twelve Millions. (Eiirl W. Mayo in Ainslee's. "No I letter Illustration of. the rapiI- Jty,with which the art of brila:e -on- struction has been advancing in tliis country -ouhI Is? obtainetl than will lie presented by-these two bridges of almost equal dimensions, standing only a mile apart. The Brooklyn bridge Is, comparatively neaking. a new structure. It was ; oihmuhI for tralfie in 1SS4. Nevertheless, the new span, while built on the same princl- ide, will 1k very different in general apiearance. "The contrast that will apiHal most strikingly to the eye in a coniimrison of j the two structures wili Is in the appearan-e of the great towers carry ing the cables on which t lie bridges rest. In the Brooklyn bridge these towers are of solid masonry for their full height, and their dimensions bring home to every Iwbolder an Idea of solidity and strength. Firm as the eternal hills whence we came, they seem to say. In tlie new liridge .the masonry piers will -'.extend only a short distance above the5 water. The towers will Is? of skeleton steel con struction. Slender and open, spring ing away to the height of : 3X feet, they will look ligiit and fragile lieside me soiKi sione 01 me ouier inige.

Of the' East rjver bridge they will weigh alsnit the same as 4 lie main -span. The" substi tution of steel for' stone lu 'bridge work is an Ameriean tleeidopment. It has made .; American brhlges the lightest, and cheapest in . the world. "Next to the towers, ; the motd nuique feature of the new bridge will be the great stiffening ; truss which will extend from pier to pier. In the past one difficulty with suspnsiou Iiridges has leen the swaying of the main span due to the force of the winds or the shocks Incident to traf fic. The truss will prevent this, will give stability to the structure and will relieve the strain which -otherwise would come upon the towers and cables. It will be of steel, fortr-five feet high, a great metal fence a Ion it each side of the bridge roadway. i ne wotk 01 muiamg the Kat river bridge may Is said to llivcfWiin' in lKSC when tbe e-hartcr for jjt was grantetl.
