scented some COO bets, or something
like 1000 less than last year, when
the money total, however, was one
third less. This fall bets were for
considerable amounts, while last
veal there were many of S25 and $50.
The Hughes bets were made at odds
all the way from ? to | to 6 to l, ami
the bets on Hughes plurality ran all
the way from 10000 as the lowest Ia
1875. 900 as the highest. There was q
general air of cheerfulness apparent
all during the distribution of the two
thirds of a million dollars, chiefly,
perhaps, because the crowd was made
up of winners. One man when ash
ed what he expected to do with the
roll he had won announced that he
intended to found a society for the
suppression of election betting.

New York stands helpless before

opinion which prevailed in many
quarters when it vas learned that
Thomas W. Lawson had by a sim.
pie fractional transaction become the
property of the Standard Oil compa'
ny. The general apprehension has
been somewhat relieved. however. by
the announcement that 1t was not the
author of "Frenzied Finance" bu:
instead the gigantic seven-maste'l
schooner named after him which had
been acquired by the trust. But
many zee in the transaction dire

Ferry Boat Traffic

Onethird of all the passengers on
steamships in the United States are
carried on ferry boats across tn
North river. No less than 107 900. 900
people cross from shore to shore OF
this busy stream every twelve
months-a greater number than the
total population of the United States
by at least twenty-five per cent. Dur
ing the most of the time 134 ferry

Spike Down BUILDINGS

II has rome to the point now
New York's sky scrapers to keep
them from blowing away--or at least
blowing over In the past with the
ordinary building OF merely twenty
or twenty-five stories, Its weight OF
several thousand IONS on each square
yard Of earth under II vas thought
10 be sufficient TO hold 1t steady
against all the winds of heaven. n
consequently no provision was made
to withstand an uplifting strain,
since II was figured that nothing
would come along to lift them any
how. But with the coming OF the
new skyscraper matters are chang
cd. Already two buildings are under
way which will tower into the smoky
atmosphere 630 and 625 feet respect
ively-or something over forty stor-
les In each case. On a building OF
this sort the wind pressure will be
enormous. especially on the upper
half, which will stand out naked n
unprotected by the surrounding
buildings. Therefore it has been
deemed necessary to literally tie
them down by means of a new de
vice employed for the first time In
the history of construction in this
city. An ingenious arrangement OF
three and one half inch steels rods
Is to be employed which will he en-
bedded to a depth of nearly fifty
feet In the concrete which forms the
caissons resting IN the solid rock
eighty.five feet below the curb. the
rods, four In number, are made up or
ten foot sections, each with a giant
anchor on the bottom, converge at
the street level and running up into
the columns of the buildings for a
distance of five hundred feet. where
they are bolted into position. The
strength of these rods Is ample to
counterfeit the effect of the most Sc.
we're storms. but If the buildings
cannot move. some people are won
dering whether the day will come
when the island win move instead
and cruise out into the bay, using
the sky scrapers for sails.
