Hunting big game is not as hard work as
il used TO be in the days of the long, heavv.
big bored rifles. With a light modern rife,
such as the Model '94 or '95 Winchester,
more game can be killed and at much longer
distances than with any one of the old time
guns. The Model '95 Winchester is one of
the highest powered rifles made. 1t will
shoot a 81 caiher u, :. Army bullet
through over 80 inches Of dry pine boards,
and drive a bullet at the rate of 2,066 feet

Strictly speaking, the Long bridge
consists of three parts; the center being
over what used to be the Potomac flats,
but whichis now .useway about 300
feet in length; mat part across the
Washington channel, being about 700
feet, and that across the Virginia chan.
mel. being about 1000 feet; 4,600. in
all, or nearly one mile. The Washing
ton end of the bridge consists of wood
en- spans, on masonry piers.
The Virginia end of the bridge is
wooden Howe truss, consisting of 10
spans of 1876 feet each. and one draw
span 1s2 feet in length, swinging on
pivot pier, giving two openings, only
one of which is arranged for the pas
sage of vessels. Each span except the
draw, consists of three wooden trusses.
The extreme width of the bridge, from
out to out of the trusses, is 40 feet. On
the up stream, or northwest side, is
wagon road 1872 feet wide, but with
no sidewalk, while on the down stream
side is the single track Of the railroad.
