Its second iron furnace and rolling mill will be in operation as soon as men and money can con- struct and operate them. These industries alone will call for several thousand new pee- pie, and are only beginning of what the near future will develop.

The fire in ths caisson on the New York side of the tunnel under the Hudson may involve the abandonment of the work at that point The caisson had to be flood ed. In any event it spells years of work at cost of many thousands of dollars, and a delay of a year to three years in the com pletion of the work. The English con- tractors say the caissons never should be made of timber-always of iron. From the Jersey City side the tunnel has been built out over 2,00O feet, or half across the wide river. On the New York side great delay has occurred from the enormous engineering difficulties which had to be overcome. About fifty feet of mud is one thing.

An Exciting Pacing Race as Cleve-

In . Race Made ~ Adonis-Hal
Pointer Goes Like she Wind-0sheT
Events.
CLEVELAND, July 20.-The second day Of
the grand circuit trotting meeting at Cleve-
land Driving park was marked by dne sport
and very fast time, one record being broken.
The attendance was large, the weather beau
tiful, the track dry and hard. The largest
field contained but six horses. There was
little trouble in getting starts and the sport
was thoroughly enjoyed. But two heats
were trotted slower than a:2o and the aver
age time made was something remarkable.
It was bad day for favorites, Alvin being
the only one to carry of first money. The
free-for-all pace was the sensation of the
day. Adonis, the California horse, was the
faverite. He took the first and second heats,
but could not capture the prize. In the sec-
ond heat Adonis went the fastest mile ever
paced In race. Soon after the start Hal
Pointer began to crowd the California horse
and the remainder of the field were left in
the rear. On the backstretoh Hal was going
like the wind. Turning into the stretch he
and Adonis were neck and neck.
Ii was game struggle to the distance
when Hal went off his feet and ran under the
wire half length ahead of Adonis. The
heat was given to the latter, however. From
the next three heats handily. In the 2:1e
class Lady Bullion and Alnont trotted O
dead neat In the second heat. Following are

Unqualified Success OF the Series or
Concerts Upon she Public Parks.
Last nights concert by the Second regi-
ment band was probably the most excellent
and successful one yet given. The warm
night induced thousands of people to walk
out and enjoy the evening about the green.
The band stand was erected under the cleo
trio light near Chapel street. The change In
location was commented upon fsvorably by
most of the listeners, but few preferred the
north end of the green as q concert ground.
The attendance last night was larger than
has favored any previous concert during the
season. There was dense mass of humanity
about the stand and hocks of interested list
eners lined all of the walks on the lower half
of the square. The number of visitors to the
green numbered nearly 10000. A large pro-
portion of these were ladies. Many of the
members of the common council and other
city officials were seen about the green during
the evening. All seemed to be satisfied % to
the complete success of the series of concerts
which have been given thus far. The appro-
priation of $500 for music will have been ex-
hausted after two more concerts have been
given.
