The end Of the cable is lost in the darkness Of

impetus sufficient TO carry each train far on its
course UP the opposite incline. 1t is even said
that, if not retarded by brakes, a train, by the
time it reached the lowest part of the track
would be running at the rate of ninety miles an
hour.
The tunnelling at the Brooklyn end Of the bore
is not so difficult as on the Manhattan side
The work there is in sand, and the worst obsta-
cles encountered are large powders left by the
great glacier when the high ground beyond the
river was formed The rock on the Manhattan
side is supposed to end less than half way
across. There is supposed to be a high ledge Of
rock jutting out from the north shore of Gov
ernor's Island, nearer the Brooklyn shore, and
reaching beyond where the tunnel will cross
There is unique feature of the tunnel at the
Battery The section from the Postofice to that
point will approach the present shaft on two diff
ferent levels. The decline for the Brooklyn line
Will commence just east of the Battery Place
station. Local subway trains, however will turn
through a loop the higher level, and will
cross some twenty feet above the Brooklyn tun-

passengers on the ferries landing at Battery

Eallroad in this seaside playground appear TO
De anxious about the innovation. The large
majority merely look upon it as an exercise of
the privilege railroad is supposed to possess
O doing as II pleases with city property. AS a
matter OF fact however this structure has no
connection with present urban transportation
facilities. although it means much for those of
the not far distant future.

the buckets il is poured into dumping cars on
the elevated track and run to its end, just off
the basin for Whitehall boats. Here il is dis
charged into barges, to be finally deposited
within the wall marking the boundaries Of the

By the terms Of the contract the Degnon-Mc-

more than one subsection Of 80 feet at a time
Each subsection must be completed before an
other is begun
Most Of the digging in lower Broadway Will be
done at night, in compliance with the two re-
Quirements mentioned. Except at the shaft it
is probable that the surface of the street will
