Brick from Sand.

j. g. Van Auken, brother OF Rev. ii.
II. Van Auken, Is the inventor OF q mode
whereby brick can be made Of a compost.
ton, OF which sand forms the principal
part. The gentleman was In the city last
week to see what arrangements could be
made for starting the brick industry In
Alpena. He Brought with him number
Of the sand brick, and experts are de.
lighted with their appearance. The brick
are much heavier than the ordinary clay
brick, and look like massive sand stone.
They can be cast any color and ornament
cd Oh the outalde edge with any design
desired. The gentleman says Alpens
sand is the right sort for making tn,
brick, and about $4,000 will be required
to erect the brick works.
Every brick used IN Alpena has to b,
imported, and brick yard ought to he
profitable industry. The supply Of sand
Is inexhaustlble, and the demand for bricl
Is large and constantly on the increase
We hope the sand brick enterprise ma,
be established In this locality, as 1t would
furnish employment for many men, ant
keep at home large amount II money
which, unless brick yard is established
at Alpena, will go to other places.

a favorite place, and 1t presented q scene
OF life, animation and beauty that trans.
formed 1t into an enchanting picture
Flowers and national banners were pro.
iusely used for decorations, but the most
charming part Of the bright scene was
the fair and smiling features of the young
ladies whose bright eyes were flashing
like myriads Of diamonds, The young
ladies' were mostly dressed In white, and
they knew they looked charming.
In one Of the halls tables were set and
refreshments served, and everything wat

Alpena Driving Club practically tested
this afternoon, and will be able to view

done all that could DO done towards MAX
Ing the roadway hard and smooth.
Over $4,000 have been expended on the
track alone, and, but for the almost daily
rains, II would not have been excelled by
any half mile track In tho world. Over
800 wagon loads of cedar bark have been
laid on the sand foundation, and on the
bark has been placed little over 500
railway car loads OF clay. The bark gives
a great springiness to the track. The
magnitude OF the work can readily be
the track at one place is about ten feet
above the ground, and at least one-thlrd
of the track ia raised several feet. At
the grand stand the back part OF the
track Is some four feet high.
The ground inside the track has been
stumped, leveled, and the oats and clover
sown now gives 1t a pleasant green APP
pearance that Is restful to the eye From
the grand stand there Is an unobstructed
view OF the whole track. The starting
point has been moved some dis lance up
the home stretch, as horsemen complain
ed Of the old track having the first turn
too near the wire.
The grand stand will cost some $4,000.
1t is $50 feet in length, and will scat l.
200 people. Between the grand stand
and the track the space has been planked,
affording standing room for hundreds OF
people. The old grand stand has been
moved to the bank OF the river at the
first turn, and faces down the home
stretch. 1t will be used as barn.
Around the outside Of the track there
will be carriage road, and the unsightly
stumps about tho ground will be removed.
A neat house has been erected for the use
Of the man who has charge OF tho grounds.
In order to make 1t convenient for car
riages to reach the grounds the city has
contracted to have Eleventh street clay
cd from the cedar pavement on Chisholm
street to the entrance to the fair ground,
at an expense of 5000 This work would
have been completed by this time but for
the strike OF the coal miners, which re-
suited in the coal supply on the Detroit.
Bay City & Alpena railroad being so
short that the company was not able to
furnish an engine to haul the clay.
