The board OF army engineer officers made
very thorough inspection Of the tunnel for the
new aqueduct yesterday for the purpose Of rec
ommending the best lining to be used, as auth
orized By Congress- They began their tour OF
inspection at 10 o'clock In the morning. as
stated In yesterdays STAR, entering the tunnel
at the Champlain avenue shan, accompanied
by Major Lydecker and the superintendent of
the work, and made careful examination Of
the work for the distance Of three miles To the
westward. They then returned and examined
the half mile OF the tunnel which Is completed
TO the east of Champiain avenue shaft They
subsequently visited the new reservoir, the ex.
animation OF which came within the duties as
signed them. The board returned to the aque.
duct ONCE at O'Clock ia the afternoon and
held meeting which lasted until haifpast 4
O'Clock. They exchanged views on the work
and the character OF the lining most desirable,
and then adjourned, having performed their
duty with the exception OF preparing their ofh-
cial report, which will be done In New York,
and the report forwarded to the Secretary Of
War. Major Lydecker entertained the members
OF the board at his residence last evening, and
some OF them took the train for New York last
can be learned as to the result OF the boards In
vesugations and their consequent recommend
atOns, but It is believed that they will favor the
adoption OF lining which, although expensive,
will be enduring and will obviate the necessity
OF repairs In the near future.
