Seaforth took the second game of the semi-finals at Lions Park last Thursday evening downing the Lucknow men 25 to 6. Brooks, the regular catcher, was throwing for I.uckno Lucknow while O'Shea worked for Seaforth. As the score indi- cates, very little can be said about this game as the visitors commit- ted 15 misplays, while the locals fumbled nine. Final score was: Lucknow 15, Seaforth 9. A little better game took place in Lucknow Monday evening, but the locals were put out 8 to 4 in the third of the series. Andrew and Greer scored for Lucknow in the first, "Doc" Cameron went the round for Seaforth in the third. Lou Brooks, Hall, Greer and Chin made it in the fourth on four, hits, one a home -run by Hall, and two Seaforth errors. In the fifth Rae Mulford, "Doc" Cameron and Bill O'Shea counted on three hits and two errors for the last of the Boshart's scoring. During the sev- enth frame Andrew went around for Lucknow on a single, while Victoria Bridge (continued from Page 4) Robert Stephenson, 'son for -044.11i: Mentor ` of the :Meana locomotive; had recommended a tubular bridge and the structure was designed, jointly by Stephenson and Alex- ander M. Ross, the railway's chief: engineer. The first stone for the first pier was laid on July 22, 1854, and the first train, ,Crossed in November, 1869, nine months before .Queen Victoria's young son officially op- ened it. "At the appointed time, accom- panied by an interpreter, the writ- er was ushered into the presence of the assembled chiefs. To the number of 12 or 13 they -"were awaiting his arrival in a wooden shanty. After so much form and ceremony a`s had been expended on preliminaries, he• certainly ex- pected to 'have met chiefs orna- mented after the manner of those in Cooper's novels, with paint and feathers, and prepared, before they proceeded to council, to of- fer him the 'calumet of peace.' In- stead of this, he was introduced to a body of miserable, dirty -look- ing old men, with lank hair, smok- ing short clay pipes.. At first they exhibited great disinclination to treat, The writer endeavored to discover the obstacle, and found that they considered his youth a serious disadvantage. Upon assur- ing them, however, that he was not less than 40, and by pointing out the grey hair with which time had adorned him, he managed to persuade them that he was not unworthy the 'honor of their no- tice. Preliminaries thus adjusted, the other arrangements were easy, the more so as the terms proposed were liberal. The treaty was adjusted, and after a shaking of hands all round, the meeting was dissolved—all parties satis- fied." However, after all this, the Caughnawaga stone was not used. A very hard limestone was obtain- ed , from two quarries, one at Pointe Claire, 15 miles west of Montreal, and the other at Ise la Motte on Lake Champlain, about 60 miles from the bridge. Twen- ty-five barges, hauled by the Beaver and the Muskrat carried the stone from the quarries. The ironwork was constructed in the Canada Works, Birkenhead, England, and the plates and gen- eral ironwork for the tubesawere punched and marked ready for as- sembly before they were 'shipped to Montreal. Though erected sep- arately, the tubular spans were afterwards united in pairs and at the junction of the. two spans were MacDonald went around on an er- ror. Once more Hugh Hall went the route for the Seapoys with eigh- teen strike -outs, walking one bat- ter. O'Shea, for the locals, pass- ed three and swung out five.

But at last the wonder of the world was fin- ished„, In his column in the Mont- real 'Gazette, "All Our Yester- days," Edgar Andrew Collard has described the test: "Before the directors of the Grand Trunk Railway accepted Victoria Bridge from the contrac- tors, they brought two eminent engineers from London to make an exacting test of its strength. These engineers decided to send through the tube a train carrying a load far greater than any that would be required in the ordinary course of traffic. With consider- able difficulty cars were loaded to a weight of one ton per foot. Two of the mightiest locomotives of the railway were then attached to bring them onto the bridge. But despite all the power of their full steam, the cars could not be mov- ed. A third locomotive Was add- ed. Ail three, straining together, were at last able to set the pon- derous freight in motion. • "Those present at the test said that it was the most anxious mo- ment of their lives. One of the assistant engineers employed by the contractors described his sen- sations as he stood at the mark- ing -post to observe how far the tube would sink when the heavy cars moved upon it. The darkness was truly Egyptian, with the clouds of smoke and condensed steam from the struggling locomo- tives obscuring the light of a lamp even two feet distant. Press- ing himself closely against the side of the tube, he kept his eyes and lamp within a few inches of themeasuring line to watch its movements. as • the slipping, groaning yet invisible locomotives dragged their grotesque weight past him. In the early 70's, when coal as fuel was substituted for wood, it was found that the gases and blast from the locomotive smoke- stacks were producing a bad ef- fect on the structure, and were causing a rapid disintegration of the metal. It was decided there- fore to open 'a strip of 20 inches wide in the centre of the top of the tubes. immediately over the smoke stacks of the engines, thus making practically a continuous aperture and allowing the fumes from the smokestacks to escape through the opening. The result was all that could be desired, and the bridge was thus well ventilat- ed, as well as well lighted. For nearly forty years the great bridge served, but as the old cen- tury drew to its close and business increased, it became outmoded. Its single track could no longer (han- dle apdie the more frequent Grand Trunk Strains and the greatly in- creased weights ofmotive power and roping stock. The tube was dismantled and removed and a new bridge went up—today's Vic- toria Jubilee Bridge. Work began in October, 1897, with the erection of the first open-work steel span. The structure was built complete- ly around the tube of the old bridge, the latter being used` as a roadway on which a temporary steel span was moved out to the first pier and the new -, structure then erected outside the tempor- ary span. - The actual time of construction was eight months. Severe wea- ther delayed work for two months during the winter of 1897-98 but the longest time on any one occa- sion when the line was closed to traffic was about two hours. All in all. the enormous traffic of the railway was held up only about 20 hours. The second track was com- pleted and the new bridge opened on December 13. 1898. In addition to the double track, it had "carriage ways and .foot- paths for pedestrians." While the old bridge weighed 9.044 tons, the new one weighed 22,000. The length of steel work was 6,592 and the total length, including ap- proaches, 9,144; the 24 old piers were used; there were 25 steel truss spans, with the length of the central span 330 feet and the side spans, 242 to 247. The old bridge was 16 feet wide, and the new one 66 feet 8 inches; the height of the old superstructure was 18 feet. the new one was from 40 to 60' feet high over al BRODIIAGEN CLASSROOM STYLETS .
