and Borough Presidents Canton and
Swanston. Commissioner Lindenthal
made the opening address formally
turning the bridge over to the city.
The speech Of acceptance was de-
livered by Mayor Low and was the
chief feature OF the ceremonies. The
completion of the exercises was
marked by the booming of cannon and
and the unfurling Of flags throughout
the great length of the structure.
The general public was not per
mitted to cross the bridge today and
thus was avoided the possibility Of a
crush such as was witnessed at the
opening Of the Brooklyn bridge and
which resulted in the deaths of more
than q score of persons. But one
roadway Of the new bridge is entirely
completed and this will probably be
opened to traffic tomorrow or Mon
day. It Is expected that the other
roadway and the paths for pedestrians
will be ready within a few weeks.
In general appearance the new
bridge seems much more massive
than the old Brooklyn bridge, but at
the same time it is much less grace
ful. In length, width, height and the
number OF It's promenades and trolley
tracks the new structure surpasses
the old. The Manhattan terminal of
the new structure is at Delaney street.
while the Williamsburg end is at
South Fifth street In the construct
ion of these great terminal and APP
proaches whole blocks of buildings
were razed.
The length of the bridge between
its terminals Is 1900 feet, or over
one and onethird miles. The main
span. from the center OF one tower TO
that of the other is 1900 feet long
The width Of the structure is 11s
feet, as compared with SO feet, the
width of the old Brooklyn bridge. It's
minimum height above high water at
pier head lines is 1872 feet and It's
minimum height for 200 feet on
either side of the center Of the main
span Is 1856 feet. Tho heights of the
cables on the top Of the towers is
333 feet at their center
Three thousand and forty-eight

NEARLY 1900 tons have been put into
the great approaches In each of the
suspension cables, which are 1874
inches in diameter, there are 1896
separate wires, these wires being
8, 500 feet long and three-sixteenths of
an inch in thickness. Six and one
half million feet of timber we're re
qured to construct the bridge and the
steel employed amounted to 10000
tons. 1t was necessary to excavate
125, 900 cubic feet of earth and to tear
down several hundred buildings and
houses.
Both Of the towers are planted on
solid rock foundations. For the Man
haitian anchorage $500 piles we're
driven through clay and sand until
they reached a solid foundation The
anchorage on the Williamsburg side
is said to rest on natural sand. The
bridge is provided with two drives
for carriages. four trolley tracks, two
elevated tracks, two footwalks and
two bicycle tracks.
Authority for constructing the
bridge was contained in a law enacted
by the state legislature in 1895. In
October Of the following year the first
work was begun on. the Manhattan
tower foundation. On April IA. 1901,
the first wire for the temporary foot
bridge was strung, while the first
wire for the permanent cable was
stretched across the following Nov
ember. The cables were finished in
August 1902.
The opening of the new bridge is
expected to relieve somewhat the
overburden of traffic on the Brooklyn
bridge. This measure of relief how
ever will not be nearly 50 great as
might be supposed at first glance at
the situation, for the reason that the
great bulk of traffic that will use the
new structure have heretofore crossed
tho river by ferry and have not used
Brooklyn bridge to any extent The
ultimate relief Of the Brooklyn bridge
rush lies in the completion of the
third bridge across the East river al.
ready under construction at a point
about midway between the Brooklyn
bridge and the Williamsburg struct.

these three bridges a fourth is to con
meet Manhattan with the Brooklyn
shore by way of Blackwelrs Island

be able to lay claim to the title Of

dence. Instead of the orthodox bou-
quet Of orange blossoms or white and
silver prayer book, the bride carried
a fan of costly point lace, which was
attached to her wrist by means OF a
narrow white satin ribbon. Her long
and narrow point applique veil was
so arranged as to conceal little Of her
hair. The top was twisted in a loose
fold, which was arranged in two loops,
one much lower than the other, at the
side of her moderately high couture.
A very long and full spray of orange
blossoms was fastened at the left OF
the tulle loops and trailed almost to
her shoulder. A still larger spray was
used on the corsage.
