Feature Of the Opening of Greensboro
Bridge at New York.
A plan for turning the upper section
Of the new greensboro bridge at New
York into an immense dancing pavil-
ion during the week of celebrating the
public opening of that structure was
recently announced by the committee
having the celebration in charge.
1t is proposed to lay dancing floor
over the top of the main thoroughfare.
The floor is to be as wide as the struc-
ture and is to run along the span a dis
lance Of 1852 feet. "A canvas shelter
will be provided, and six bands will
make music for the dancers. Three
bands will be stationed in the tower
on the Manhattan side of Blackwell's
island and three bands in the tower on
the Queens side. The bridge will be
illuminated from end to end.
The dancing program for the carni.
val will open with fancy dress ball
