New YORK, June II, 1888.

The nine days wonder has al.
ready ended in disaster. The trag-
edy on the East River Bridge is
disgrace to both cities. The grand
structure is all right; not a blot
rests upon the meanest mechanic
connected with its construction, and
yet the bridge is onen to traffic on
ly six days and twelve human lives
are sacrificed, and the bones of a
hundred more human beings are
broken, shattered perhaps without
repair. This is the fault of the
governments of the two cities, of
their representatives known as
Trustees, who have, apparently, not
the least idea Of managing or con-
trolling the government of this
great highway; hence calamity,
hence the loss Of life.
The newspapers give the list of
killed and wounded in the same
manner as if a battle was fought
and every hour adds 70 the list of
missing. Already the ever-alert
lawyers come to the front like val
lures and offer their services to the
relatives Of the victims, and tell
them that under the laws the
bridge or rather it's owners Brook
lyn and New York are s:liable."
This then is novel question which
must be settled by the Courts, es-
pecially where the two cities charge
a toll over their great highway.
This disaster was q very sad end
ing to the great holiday which New
York had just so enthusiastically
observed. The whole city was out
Of doors to witness the parade of
veterans and of the G. A. R., which
was the finest ever seen here.
What is more, New York now
knows how to keep holiday. Such
a variety of out-of.door attractions
are provided, that very little rum.
selling indoors can take place. The
pastimes IN the afternoon, ball
games, yatch races, horse-races and
what not, were so numerous that
every one really enjoyed himself in
his own peculiar manner. But af-
ter the Bridge Day of last week
and Decoration Day of this week,
oh, what a tedious, hot, dry Fourth
of July must We not anticipate!
Numerous Coney Island, Long
Branch and other Summer hotels
are opening to-day, the 1st of June,
but as yet the rush is not great.
Neither will it be until the weather
becomes warmer and the Metropolis
itself has so many attractions.
Quite a number of people, however,
went to Coney Island yesterday to
take bath, not in water but in
beer, which is of peculiar quality on
the Island, and sold at very short
measure, in imitation of the clans
that abound there. For some reason
or other l hear that nearly all the
Summer hotels round about here
have reduced their scale of prices,
probably owning to the fact that so
many people are going to Europe
this year.
By-the-bye, 1 hear that Wander
bilt, who only left the other day
for England is already on his way
back. That mans millions bother
him great deal. He has no rest
nor comfort anywhere. The only
place where he actually seems to
enjoy himself is behind his fast
trotters. Sometimes he runs over a
man or two, then sends his doctors
after them, pays the bills. and, as
to the rest he don't care a snip
for anybody. You know, / heard a
story, the other day, which looks to
me as if it might be true, namely,
