of delight before him. Every young rus

Thursday the browning day of the whole

panying cut. This bridge was built in 1864.
The first bridge across the Wabash, at this
point, built i'm the early fifties, and
stood at the foot of Ohio street, one square
south of the present one. The old bridge
was OF the same style as the one now in
use, but stood upon wooden piling. 1t was
partially destroyed lin 1864 by a passing
boat. and was not rebuilt. The present
bridge is 500 feet long and consists of five
stationary spans, with one draw span,
which was used for number of years to
allow the passage of boats. On account of

crowds pass in.
The fair grounds occupy a rolling tract
of land, almost entirely covered by trees.

musicians with red, bullying faces fill
ing the air with the stirring melody Of the
latest rag-time, and everywhere the motley,
swarming crowds of people.
Suddenly there is a rattle of drums and a
banging of tambourines coming from one
of the show tents. Some of the adjacent
crowd make a rush toward the "Dinky
Twin Sisters Show" where, a plat
form i'm front of the tent, two or three fell
lows with blackened faces and clownish
costume are beating an outlandish accom-
paniment to the singing and dancing of the
accomplished sisters. These women are

ACCESSIBILITY of dredging the stream and
opening il UP for navigation.
Shortly after the bridge was built a
large herd of cattle stampeded in the
street of Terre Haute and ran down Wa
bash avenue onto the bridge with such
force that the second span was broken
down and the cattle thrown into the river.
Fortunately, the people who were on the
bridge were able to escape in time to save
their lives, and the only loss was the lives
of a few cattle and the damage done TO the
bridge. This was not slight. for it delayed
traffic for several days, and caused much
Inconvenience.
Located, as it is, on the old National
road. and being the only wagon bridge
across the Wabash at this point, it is
naturally a very important thoroughfare
