ANOTHER BRILLIANT SUCCESS.

Brat Ieboro's GIned Musicians Delight
Another Large Audienct---The Total
Amount RAISED for the Soldier Boys
sIIOO.
Again the beautiful Auditorium was
crowded, Wednesday evening, with de-
lighted audience. The announcement
from the platform at the concert last week
that the next concert would bring an en-
tire change of program was probably I'M
advised, and the generous artists could
scarcely be asked or expected to assume
the extra labor of doing aught but repeat
the splendid program of that evening.
This in itself is surely embarrassment of
riches and evidently the large audience
was entirely content with it,
Little can be said in addition to last
weeks report of the concert. II may be
that there was triile more of the Ri in
it; it is possible Of possible it can be) that
the singers outshone themselves. Surely
little was left to wish for
An added pleasure was the beautiful en-.
core duet, "Lontano," from "Mephisto-
feles," by Mr.. and Mrs. LAWN; the mem
DRY of the wondrous diminuendo at its
close-"Lontano, Lontano, Lontano"-
will long remain a fragrant memory.
Most generous and appreciatve applause
was given each artist, and it would be
difficult to say with confidence of which of
/ the gifted four Brattleboro is most proud,
/ whether the soprano, or cOntralto, or the
/ composer and accompanist, born in her
/ own borders, or the tenor, whose misfor-
/ tune it will always be that such pleasant
/ locality of birth was not his also
During the concert calls were heard for
"Mr. Howe from different parts OF the
/ hall and finally Mr.. Howe appeared and
/ bowed his acknowledgment OF the appre-
/ ciative compliment thus paid him.
The orchestra again gave their services,
and were heard with unalloyed satisfac-
/ ton in their selections.
The proceeds OF the concert and supper
last week were S74j. Enough more was
taken at the second concert to bring the
total net receipts up to S1l00.

THE BRIDGE CONTRACT.
Negotiations Pending with the Gorton
Company.

After carefully examining the plans
and specifications of the companies who
have made bids for the construction of an
iron bridge across Milestone brook at
Main street, the selectmen are the most
favorably impressed with those of the
Groton Bridge company of GrotOn, \. Y,
and If the company will agree to certain
changes which the selectmen will insist
upon they will be awarded the contract.
Negotiations TO this effect are now pend
ing between the selectmen and the com
pany, and it is probable that the company
will comply with the requirements.
The selectmen will ask for buckle plate
flooring and the Groton Bridge company's
bid for such a flooring is SSS91, which,
as stated in The Evening Phoenix last Sat
urday, was the lowest bid which complied
with all the requirements. The principal
change required in the Groton Bridge
cOmpany's plans is in the thickness of the
plate. The company's plans specified that
the plate should be one.fourth of an inch
thick, but the selectmen require that the
thickness shall be fye-siXteenths of an
inch.
The selectmen's requirements are that
the bridge shall be a girder bridge, which
obvates the necessity OF having trestle
NOIk dOONt tue DTluGt 10 impair us Dedulys
or Of having it under the bridge to obstruct
the waterway.
The Groton cOmpany's plans provide for
five iron grders, each about five feet deep.
The plates will be arched from one girder
to another. Concrete, cement or some
other substance will then be put on to give
level surface and the whole be paved
with vitrifed brick
Both the present abutments will be torn
out and granite ones built in their places,
probably by Ward ~ Douglass Of Barre,
whose bid for this work was $500 against
bid of 5000 by the Lyons Granite com
pany of Brattleboro.
1t is expected that the work on the abut-
ments will be begun in a few days, and the
selectmen will ask that the abutments and
bridge be completed by Sept. 10. In order
to facilitate the work the entire present
bridge may be torn up at once instead OF
being removed one side at time, as was
at first contemplated In that event a
foot bridge would be built, probably near
Dunton's repair shop, and the team work
would be by way Of the Elm street iron
bridge.
