EIGHTEEN HORSES DRAG BIG COLUMN.

THIRTY-THREE TON BLOCK OF GRANITE TO BE
Ho1srED ON NEW HALL OF RECORDS TO-DAY.
A good deal Of curiosity aroused in lower
Broadway last night by long procession OF horses
attached to an immense truck on which was loaded
one Of the largest columns OF granite ever seen IN
the neighborhood Eighteen horses were attached
to the truck which caused a loud clatter and
ruubling as II came up Broadway The granite
column weighed thirty-three tons. and was brought
here from Maine to be used on the Centre-st front
Of the new Hall of Records 1t was brought across
the North River on a lighter and loaed on the
truck which belongs to Thomas McLarnon, at Pier
No ! The width of the truck wheels the only
thing that saved the paving stones from breaking
beneath them They were nearly two feet wide
The truck turned from Broadway into Reade-st.
and proceeded TO Centre-st. There is slight de-
cline from Broadway in Reade-st.. and the truck
gained considerable speed and almost got beyond
Control The horses had to be whipped up to avoid
being run over by the immense weight. Four men
ran along either side OF the truck dropping thick
beams under the wheels to lessen It's speed. The
beams were all crushed out Of shape by the weight
The granite column viii probably be hoisted into
