Roundout Creek Bridge
To Be Opened Nov. 29
Dream of Old Ulster County
Residents Will Be Realized
at Dedication Tuesday

, ussudy, november 20, promises to
De pig day in the history of Kingston
ana Ulster County when impre essive
ceremonies will be held at Kingston to
marx the opening of the Roundout
Greek bridge, now under construction.
Former Governor Smith, former H;oh-
way Commissioner Greene, Highway
commissioner Sisson, former Mavor
Roscoe Irwin of Kingston and Stats
Senator Charles W. Walton are some
OF those on the program for addresses
following dinner at the state armory
In Kingston. At the close of the ex-
erc1ses in the armory there will be
mammoth parade, forming at Pine
Grove Avenue and marching down
Broadway to the bridge. At the King
ston City Hall the parade will be re-
viewed by Governor Miller.
For more than fifty years it has been
dream OF the older residents of King
ston and Ulster County that they would
hnaliy see bridge thrown across the
Roundout Creek connecting Kingston
and the town of Esopus. The exercises
on Tuesday will see that dream real
lied. The need of the bridge has be-
come statewide since talk of it first
began to spread. Every summer thou
sands OF motorists drive their cars to
Kingston and have been delayed by the
lack of a bridge. Hundreds of cars
have been forced to line up on the
downtown streets leading to the two
ferries. 1t has not been an unusuaI
sight to see during the summer months
as many cars bearing license plates of
other states as those of New York
State.>
The bridge is built to carry con
tinuous load of ten-ton trucks. which
gives slight idea of its strength. The
roadway on the bridge was laid in six
teen working days and the sidewalks in
twenty-one days. The anchorages are
sunk about sixty five feet below grade
and set in concrete. There are two
steel towers, each 153 feet above the
concrete piers on which they rest.
cAt night the bridge will be we'll
lighted by electricity. Interest in the
new structure extends to New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and other states from
which tourists come during the sum

Oildag's Remarkable Test

A remarkable demonstration of lu-
bricant efficiency, which those witness
ing it agree to be unparalleled in the
history of motordom, was given last
Friday by the Weaver -Ebling Automo O.
bile Company, of this city. The com
pany announced the day previous that
it would run a, Studebaker car under
it's own power, with full passenger
load, fifteen miles with the crank case
and bearings dry-that not drop of
lubricant would be used in the test.
On the following day the run was made
before representative committee Of
business and scientific men; who
examined the motor before
and after the test. They found there
was practically no variation in the heat
of the motor in it's mechanical action,
despite the fact that the car was oper-
ated at an average touring speed

Wonderful Memory.

Memory is a gift that seems to be
unevenly distributed. A kindly, we'll
meaning, highly educated mana
clergyman, we will say-may hardly be
able to remember his own name, while
here and there some Tom, Dick or Harry
will amuse himself and excite the won
der OF the crowd by performing mnem-
onic feats as surprising as they are
useless. A Western journal reports a
"wellknown railroad man" saying:
| knew a man whose memory OF car
numbers was really remarkable. When
a train whistled into the yard he would
step TO the platform, and without book
or pencil, would stand and watch the
cars go by.
IL any one was standing near, he
would converse upon whatever subject
occurred, and when the conversation
was ended he would step into his Of
fee and make complete and accurate
record OF the train, beginning at the
first car and ending with the caboose.
Sometimes, just to test him, we would
get him to begin at the caboose and
write the numbers the other way, or
else begin in the middle of the train
and work both ways. He never made
mistake that remember Car num-
bers, the names Of the roads to which
they belonged, and their relative po-
sition in the train would all be record.

A Nations Welcome.

When Lafayette revisited this coun-
try he had no idea OF the greeting he
was TO receive. No intimation was
given him OF a public demonstration.
Indeed, the modest old hero came in
a most simple and unassumirg fashion,
and not being possessed CT riches, was
little afraid lest lis means should not
prove sufficient. He made many and
anxious inquiries Of mis- fellow passcn-
gers on the French packet in regard
to the prices il living and travelling
in America. A gentleman on board in

parted. When the ship reached Staten
Island it dropped ancho- much 10 the

disgust Of many of the passengers.
Suddenly long line Of vessels was
observed coming down TIE bay. Steam
boats and sailing craft Of all kinds
formed quite considerable fleet. Yards
were manned, flags were flying and
bands were playing.
What is it?" asked Lafayette.
No one could answer save the cap
tain, and he kept his pwn counsel.

The gay vessels approached, making
for the French ship, round which they
clustered. One Of the boats steamed
alongside, and a number of gentlemen

They were the Governor Of New York
