NEW ENTRY TO NEW YORK.
Ground Broken For the BIaclSwelPs
Island Bridge.

New York, Aug. 21.-Ground was
broken today at the New York end of
the new Blackwelrs island bridge,
which is to furnish the Long Island
railroad an entrance into New York
city. There was no ceremony.
The bridge will have a capacity of
four railroad tracks, if need be, besides
a. roadway and footwalks on either
side. The spans over both channels of
the river will each be $50 feet. The
span on the island will be 635 feet be-
tween the centres of the piers. The
distance between the centres of the
two extreme piers will be 1855 feet. 1t
will reach squarely across the river,
touching the Long island shore at
RayensWood and forming a junction
with the Long Island railroad at Sun
nyside. midway between Long Island
city and Woodside. The approach on
the Long island side will be by a steel
viaduct In order to furnish a more
direct route to Manhattan and Bright
on Beach, a cutoff will probably be
built connecting with the Manhattan
Beach divisions of the Long Island
road.
1t is calculated that passengers from
Sixty-fourth street, New York city,
can reach Manhattan Beach in forty
minutes without changing cars. This
is a reduction in time of more than SO
ner cent. BY most of the present
routes. there are disagreeable changes
When the New York and New Jersey
bridge is completed, the Long Island
road will be able to tap directly all the
great roads centering in New York
