New Yonux, Fed, 25, 1876, To tum Error or tax Heratp:— Permit me space in your columns for a few words o¢ explanation on the very eve of my departure for Paris to play Maurice Vignanx for ‘the emblem of the three. bali champiouship of the world, now held by him, I find that a sporting paper of this city not only grossly perverts the object of that match but also attacks mo personally. I have been accused of a broach of faith in going to France to play Vignaux during the pending of the four-handed mateh for $1,000 between Garnior and Sexton and Joseph and Cyrille Dion, Now, first of all, there is no match either for $1,000 or for more or less, It 8 not even 4 four-handed game. It 1s simply an experiment—a sirctching out of 2,000 points" im @ novel manner, and for of $1,000, Further than this nothing need be said. Finally, 1 never gave my consent to it. My name was placed on the bills without any authorization from mo, and that author, tation was withheld for the simple reason that I was fully to play in the game atall. That player has since te- turned, and what would have been the original pro- gramme may now be carried out. The public can rest assured that there bas deen uo breach of faith on my partand, furthermore, that so {ar trom my having withdrawn from this experimentai game in order to go vo Paris, I should not have played in it even if | had re- | matned in the city. Permit me to repeat that this is hota match, but merely a series of four exhibition ames in a movel manser. The success of the scheme as my best wisbes, and all I ask in return from ite | Managers is that they abstain from misrepresenting My true position with reference to it. As to the asper- | sions they bave sought to cast upon my contemplated | contest with Vignaux, | cam aflord to wait until time WILLIAM SEXTON, 105 Ludlow st., on Sunday, February 27, «at one o’clock | r. M. re that but for the absence from the city of | | another sktiful player I should not have been selected DEFECTIVE IRON BRIDGES. Bad Material, Bad Workmanship, Bad Management. Bridge Builders Conspiring with County Committees. The Manufacture of Man-Traps. IMISSING RECORDS. A System of Highway Robbery Inaugurated. Among the many arts which have made advances within the past quarter of a century that of designing and building bridges may be considered among the most remarkable in the progress made and results reached, and it is a source of just pride to the well in- formed engineers of this country that in many impor- tant partionlars the best American bridge work is far ahead of anything of the kind accomplished elsewhere. Our engineers in former times were driven by the necessities of their practice to design many wooden bridges, and to study the truss and the braced arch as constructive expedionts much mofe thoroughly than was done in older countries, where stone arches and solid embankments were more in use—structures totally unsuited, because of their great cost, for the pioneer roads and railways of a new country. With the introduction of fron as a bridge material, and the enormous extension of our railway system, abundant opportunity was given to apply and increase the knowledge gained from experience, and tho results have followed that the system has been carried to an extent and perfected to a degree in this country which have not been approached in any other. This fact has had an important inflaence for good upon our internal commerce in enabling lines of com- munication to be established by the bridging of rivers, which it had been considered impossible to pass except by ferry, and by carrying railways across deep valleys ata moderate cost. It is beyond question that in the accomplishment of difficult feats of bridge engineering and in the attainmentof that excellence which arises from the successful adaptation of means to a desired end our engineers have reason to congratulate them- selves on having Outstripped conrpetitors tnany other part of tne world, IRON HIGHWAY BRIDGES. Within a few years, however, iron bas been exten- sively employed for highway bridges, and, unfortu- nately, under the severe competition extsting between the various establishments which make their manu- facture a specialty, a system of underbidding and cheap work has grown up which threatens to dll the country with structures which may be unit for use and yery dangerous. ‘ An iron bridge, 1f well made and properly cared for, should last for many generations, and may be consid- ered @ permanent structure. If i¢ is intended for public use and thrown open for genoral travel it should be strong enough to stand with absolute safety the heaviest load which it is probable would ever come upon It On bridges of ordinary span the heaviest and most trying loud likely to be imposed is a crowd of people; and two considerations make it imperative it the work should be strong enough to carry this load, no matter how secluded the situation. First—During the years through which the work ts tntended to endure it may be considered certain that it will at some time be crowded. Second—The failure of a bridge crowded with people ts almost certain to cause a heavy loss of life, as melancholy accidents have shown. A CARELESS METHOD OF LETTING CONTRACTS for iron highway bridges is toocommon, Bridge bufld- ing firms and corporations, caring only for wamediate profit, have organized and kept in operation an exten- sive ugeney system whereby the of towns, vik lages or counties are persuaded to contract for the most flimsy work and to allow the builders to (nish al- most any kind of tron bridge that inn please to con- sider good enough. As arcsult it will be found that ‘the standard of strength for iron road bridges ts already reduced much below what it should be and is being lowered daily by the acceptance of weak bridges; that very many of the iron bridges in pubtic use deserve no betier appellation than that of man-traps waiting for their victims, and that the supervision of the building of iron bridges for public use 1s 80 loosely conducted by public officials that grave calamities may be ex- pected through the falling of some of the many un- sound works which abound throughout the coautry. RESPECTABLE BRWWGER BUILDERS ARE BEING DRIVEN PROM THE FIELD because they do not dare to risk their reputations upon work as weak as that generally furnished and the prices are so reduced by competition that good work cannot be produced for them. In many cases, how- ever, the prices paid ‘for bad bridges are as large as would pay for good ones, the difference in cost going into the hands of the nts or being “put where it will do the most good’ by the bridge building com- pany. THE MOST SERIOUS TROUBLE is that town and county committees ailow themselves to be swindled through their vanity and are persuaded by unscrupulous men that their own knowledge is suifl- cient to guide them in making contracts and selecting the kind of bridge and deciding on the requisite strength, &a While in this state of mind commit- tees are induced to sign contracts meaning almost anything and full of lsopholes and ambiguous expressions, Thon the bridge builders erect their work and claim their pay. Howover bad the work it is setdom questioned unless, as sometimes happens, it actually falls of its own weight These stavements are bot made lightly’ or at random. It is @ fact, and a very serious one, ta practice is growing up in our midst which, unless checked, must result in the loss of many lives and the destruction of yust amounts of public property. ‘This evil is greater, ii possible, in the interior and through the West tl in the neighborhood of this city, But itis quite bad enough bere to create alarm in ail who care for the safety of our citizens or the economical disbarsement of public fards, The following examples are given iu corroboration of these statements:— CANAL BRIDGE AT NEWARK. At the crossing of Summit street, Newark, over the Morris Canal, there isa bridge of a class which was introduced several years ago, and was for a short timo very popular because of its cheapness, Many of the bridges erected upon this plan have fallen, and some which still stand are so weak as to menace all who use them. Among the latter may be classed the cana bridge alluded to. From the time of its erection it has been a source of anxiety to the committee having ft in charge, as it has nooded repairs more than once and has always given unmistakable signs of weaknesa It is strange that it should have been allowed to remain in place a day after its character became apparent In spite of mach tinkering this bridge shows that it has been overstrained, and itis partly erippled and very much out of shape. The rivets havo started in some places and much of the iron work is drawn out of place to a dangerous extent. ‘The actual strains upon this work, in its present partly disabled condition, camot be computed with any acca- racy, but the m perficial examination ts suifieent to sliow that the structure is unsaie for a heavy load and likely to fall at any time. That it should be allowed to remain open on a ie street 10 a great and prosperous city 1s a proof of eare- lessness which will go far to confirm all that has been satd of the indifference with which danger 18 viewed by our people until after a disaster has occurred, and while it remains it @ reproach to the city and its authori- ties. CATSKILL CREEK HIGHWAY BRIDGE. ‘This bridge was built about four years ago over Cats- kill Creek, a beautiful stream which empties into the Hudson River at tho village of Catskill, _ The bridge is near the upper end of the town, which contains about 4,000 inhabitants, and is near the head of navigation in the creek, From its situation it may reasonably be inforred that this stracture would sometimes be called upon to bear tho weight of many people, The road across it leads from the village toward a beautiful country, and the bridge is so close to the village that fire parades, torch- light processions, militia and other masses of men, moving in step, may at any time cross tin carrying out a programme of business or recreation, It cannot, of coutse, be prophesied at what time or in what way a severe strain will be brought upon this bdridgo; but, situated as itis, adjoining ® large and thriving town, thrown open to the public for general use, andin no way guarded against. overloading by crowds or otherwise, 1} would seem that the necessity for abundant strength could not be questioned and ‘that nothing should excuse the erection of a permanent ‘TH DANGERS UF THE HIGHWAY fete arte casas Clerk, and that official overhauled all the papers on file in his office, but found nothing tn the shape of com tracts, plans, specifications, reports of tests or apy of those papers which it is usual to file in the case of public Works built by towns or committees, An introduction to a prominent lawyer, counse! to the committos, wae given by the obliging Clerk, and it then appeared that the committee ‘had made their contract hastily, and probably nover filed anything ;”” that they employed no one to examine tite speci‘ica- tions, and that they had even neglected to submit the contract to their counsel, tut had closed it without consultation with or advice from men skilled either in law or mechanics, iy As the tntention of this article is, by no means, to attack individuals, it is hoped that if any records are ever discovered relating to the Catskill Bridge they will show some good reasons for what upon the surface ap- pears to be a piece of gross carclessness—the fact that } an important public work should have been built, and, it 1s supposed, aceepted and paid for, without any rec- ords having been filed to show its strength, cost or ft- ness for the purposes for which it was designed, no contract, specifications or record of test and accept- ‘The structure itself is not of a kind to dispel any un- favorable impression that the absence of records might have given. It consists of three spans—one long, across the main pert of the creek, and two shorter ones over some low Occasionaliy over- flowed, and mimor wi The the vi to be the jong span is said longest “‘of its kind” in the world. ‘he writer most devoutly hopes the statement may prove correct, for it is mach longer than ono of its kind ought to be.

In the case of the bridge at Catskill it did not appear that even the most common tions for overcom- ing the best known defects of the invention had been used, The work is, therefore, very “shaky,” and, , under the action of a trotting horse, can be seen to vi- Drate from end to end in @ manner which is alarm- ing to any one y joints in it, bat princi- pally by the insuflicient and defective method em- oe hee, the work against local loads and vi- ions, There are no compression members what- ever between the upper and lower chorda. These main members are held in place by small rods only, whieh are themselves 80 long and connected in such a faulty manner that they inevitably allow considerable mo- tion. The structure is of sucha nature that motion in these means the final destruction of the bridge, Not is known about the quality of the iron of which this structure is bailt, and co ently its real strength cannot be ascertained. Iron of different qualities varies very much in sire: Noris 1 known vhat the individaal parts were tested for flaws before the erection of the bridges. Probably they were not. It may not be a fair inference (and in calculations it has not been taken advantage of), but it is certainly very natural to suppose that, when so little pains have been shown to devolopasound plan or to do good work, the builders would not be over fastitious about the material employed, and that recklessness as to the proper size and arrangement of the parts would tndicate that cheapness had been the main idea, and that expensive tron would have been as care- Tully avoided as any other large item of cost, The bridge may, therefore, be very much weaker even than the results of the calculations which have been made would indicate, bocause in the absence of direct proof. to the conti tt was assumed that the 1ron was of the very best quality, thatevery weld was perfeetly made, so as to be as strong as any other part of the bar in which it occurs, that ig8 were perfectly made and free from any flaws or any of the strains whien often occur from unequal contraction in cooling, and thas all parts of the siracture would always remain in ad- Justment and order, From these te is very evident that the struc ture unaer discussion isnot ft for use as a public bighway bridge, and that such a crowd as may come upon & at any time would be almost certain to break it down, At present it remains open to the public, and the only hint of danger 1s asign that any one riding or Sure oem ee @ gait faster than a walk will be fined HIGHWAY BRIDGE AT PORTCHESTER. ‘The village of Portchester 1s pleasantly located on Long Island Sound and on the west side of a smal, stream called the Byram River, It contains about 3,000 inhabitants, Byram River is the boundary between New Yorkand Connecticut, and atthe point where the bridge crosses it is about 150 feet in witith. Ithad long been spanned by a wouden bridge, which accommodated @ heavy traffic between Portghestor and the neighbor- ing village of Greenwich, Conn, This old bridge becom- img unserviceable, by reason of age and rottenness, it was resolved to remove iand substitute therefor an fron structure, which would afford a permanent and sufficient accommodation for the increasing business. The eastern half of the bridge being in the town of Greenwich the siructure was under the control of two committces—one ot Portchester and the other of Green. wich, The committee of Portchester very wisely ap- pointed an engineer to prepare plans and specitications for the maspnry of the bridge on their sido of the river, They subsequently appointed the same gentleman en- gineer of the iron superstrueture over which they had control, and in that capacity he drew up a specification upon which contracts were to be let He was also made enginoer for masonry and substructure by the committee in Greenwich ; but his authority was never extended by this committee to the tron work of the one span which was ander their jurisdiction, Previous to the appointment of this engincer spvetfications had been submitted by a bridge builder which seemed upon their face to promise great strength, and, in fact, there ‘was a clause warranting a strength of 2,500 pounds to the lineai foot, with a “factor of safety” of four, THE RECKLESSNESS WITH WHICH BIDS ARE MADE fs well illustrated by the fact that the calculated strength of the work promised by these specifications ‘was not mach more than half as as the strength which was guaranteed by the builaer; and when it is understood that the calculated strength was based on the assumption that the very best material and work- manshbip would be furvished, and no allowance was seem strange that @ manufacturer should consider it policy @ make representations the falsity of magic expression “PACTOR OF SAPRTY OP iv and upon this little claase very much stress 1s laid by builders in making bargains with men not technically educated in iron work The representation is that the bridge will bear four times as much, weight as the work- ing The fact is that the builder expects that if the bridge ts tested and siands once the working load bo will not be questioned amy further. Experience has shown him that it is safe to rely upon the assertion of |. strength, even if his work falls far short of what it is represented to ba, The engineer, having found that the work, as specified in the proposal, was not as strong as the specifications called for, revised plans and to- creased the sizes of the parts, so that they should really be (supposing good material and work to be fur- nished) af strong as the specifications required. Tho builder thereapon immediately raised his price and se- cured the work for the increased amount. DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WoRK the engineer complained to the committee of non- compliance on the part of the contractors with tho specifications of the contract. His efforts to fuitil bis duty in enforcing these specifications received bat Intie encouragement Or support, and the structure was com- pleted without the alterations which he considered had been completed the engineor was approached by a Het claiming to act with the knowl- edgo of the suthorities, who assured him that if he would make a favorable report upon the work bis claim for remuneration for services which had been questioned would be settled “without trouble,” and strong representations were made that this was the best course to pursue. He, however, refused to accede to these demands upon him, and reported that the work was not according to contract, giving all particu- ‘THR RECORDS VANISH. A curious thing now happened.
