with. It is little known or soon forgot
ten how nearly the Williamsburg bridge
came to being a costly failure for this
cause.
In sinking the caissons, huge boxes
of solid timber, bottom side up to keep
the water out, air pressure must con-
stantly be increased TO balance the pres
sure of the water. AS the caisson sinks,
as the pressure increases, the danger
grows. Men can at first work almost as
long as upon the surface; then only four
hours, then three, then two. There
comes time when they cannot work at
all. Beyond that limit caisson work is
impossible, or can only be prosecuted
few minutes at time by men of the
hardest MISREPRESENTATION that
would make it all but impossible. In
sinking the caissons for the towers of
the second bridge this limit was nearly
reached. Men came up gasping for
breath from their titan struggle with
the water far above them: others went
to relieve them, and the engineers faces
grew longer. Work was far advanced
upon the foundations upon the Manhat-
tan side before bottom was finally
reached on the Brooklyn side and the
caisson could at last rest on solid rock
The Manhattan caissons were founded
SIS feet and 70 feet, respectively, below
water. That is bad enough. Those on
the Brooklyn side are 81 feet and IS feet.

Oh, the operas there have been, the
managers! What a procession Of hu-
man curios! Why should an opera man
ager be always easy to caricature?
Maretzek and Strakosch; the impe-
cunious Mapleson, the very image Of q
fat and oleaginous Col. Sellers, with his
smile that faded never at deputy sher-
ifs or warning tenors;; Mapleson, with
his mellow "me boy!" and his delicious
barney; then Abbey, businesslike, the
"Ohio idea" on the stage, Abbey from
Akron; Schoeffel and Grau, his partners;
Grau, who fingered from the strangely
assorted trio to make alone greater
success; now comes tConreid, who
speaks Weber and Fields German
American dialect that only his intense
earnestness and his impatient genius
save from being ludicrous. Conreid,
who will surpass them all either as a
success or as a failure.
Conreid is a, disciplinarian. In the
little German theater far down the East
side, where for years he has given the
best dramatic art in the city it's modest
showing, he is famous for stage strict
ness. He has no "stars," who are by
their stardom absolved from obeying.
Before the first opera was given under
the new management, he insisted upon
the unheard-of innovation of dress pa
rade of the supers, to detect any such an
achronisms as wearing patent leather
shoes with a knights armor.
