course would create dissatisfaction. With pre-
cedent Of the postpOnement Of each Of the four
concerts which have already been given, the pub
lie have naturally and reasonably expected that
In this by far the largest scheme OF the series and

ands all over the country who are only waiting
for the setting of certain fixed day for the draw

tickets to this date have been highly satisfactory
and large drawing might be had ON the 3lst
July, but, feeling assured that short postpone

of the tickets and make the drawings full one, we
have adopted the course which has evidently been
Anticipated. and which must eventuate most sat
islactOrily for ali
Now that the day Of the drawing Is absolutely
determined there remains no further occasion for
delay, and would urge the friends of the enter
prise, who intend to purchase tickets, 70 send in
their orders as Il VIII tax my Office to iB utmost
capacity to accomplish all that II to be done in
the short time which remains for the sale Of

The ST. LOUIS BRIDGE The celebration of
the completion of the bridge that spans the
Mississippi at ST. Louis, which occurred on the
Fourth, was grand pagent The spans of the
bridge are OF steel and the piers of granite, and
are higher than the tallest steeple OF St. Louis,
and planted in the deepest and most turbulent
current of the Mississippi This work has
been five years 10 progress. The remarkab
points about The massive vaduct are the depth
of foundation, the width of the arches, and the
novelty of construction. 1t accommodates two
double tracks of steam railways, foot walks,
street railways, and all styles Of vehicles, none
of which will interfere with the others, nor will
the bridge interfere with navigation, for Of the
three arches the central one is $40 aud the two
side ones $40 feet.
