The question, though not one of a8 great importance as that decided in favor of cruci- ble steel for the manutacture of the great cubles, eull will cause a good deal of discussion and should, it would seem, demand caretul considoration. Colonel Roebling, the chief engincer of the bridge, has made out the specifications for these suspenders for Bessemer steel, and in a communication to the Board justifies its adoption by the economy which will reauit from its use and by bis opinion of ite being fully equal to the requirements, The shb- Ject was before the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustecs at their megiing last Wednesday and will probably be under active discussion at their next as semblage, The specifications cals for 325,000 pounds Of steel suspenders for the roadway, patt of which Will be one and five-cighths and the remaindor one- and three-quarter inches in diameter, ‘Tnis contract will cost $30,000 to $40,000, and the saving by the uso of Bessemer stevl would, it 1s said, be some $8,000, The question in the opinion of many is not so im- portant @ one as that oi the great cables, and as the Strain on the suspenders i# Only one of tension they say the Bessemer steel is able to boar i, A flaw in the great cables could not ve remedied, whereas if @ auapender should pr placed. Again the advoc: that many ot the objections urged against it as to non-homoveneity, &c., dO not exist at present, as great strides have bech made in the manufacture, It 18 also stated, as showing What great improvemeuts have taken Place in the mianutacture of Bessemer steel la ‘that at the Troy works they bave recently succ Manulacturing a Bessemer tool steel equally as youd ag crucible cast steel used jor tools, and which cun be farmisued ut iess than hall tho price of the crucivie tool steel, They say it ts simply a question of adapia- Dillty und cost in the case of the siee! suspenders 10 be shortly advertised jor; that they could be made of either iron rope, Bessemer or crucible steel rope, The first would cequire a sizo for tuw required ten- sivle streugih giving too mucn weight; the Bossemor for the required strength would be much smalier, and yet large enough irom an architectural point of view, and « bignh grado of crucible steel could be ured which would turalsh tho required strength with a still smaller diamotor, but ihe Bessomer answoring every requirement ana being cheaper should be usod; that @ high euougn limit of iy furnished by this steel RageeRly, they say, ‘What are the bridgo enginee: jor THE OTHER SIDR OF THK DISCUSSION. On the other baud, those who believe that cruci- Die stee! should be employed point to the fact of its having been decided as best for the cablos and to the comparisons made during the discussiun between the two steels, resuiting uniavorably to the latior, and to the bad showing made in tho tests by the Bessemer stee! wire offered by Roeblings’ Sons, of Trentoa. It will be remembered that the use of the crucible nanding that Doue but the bighess quality should be used in such ap important work, Tbey also poimt to the want of dependence to ve placed in Bessemer stocl on account Of {ts want of homogeneity, which isa great element of woakness and uncertainty, and sey that crucivio steel, weight for weight, beimg stronger than eitlior Bossemer® steel or wrought iron, it follows that its use for suspenders for the bridge Would be eminentiy oper, as the less the groat cables lave to bear the eiter, They also state that the question is uguin brought up through influence of a personal natare in favor of a tirm unsuccessful at the time the contract for tne cable wire wa: up the question of quality of once finally settled, alter full tion, and that lusty the bridge 1s aot @ place to experi. meat on, THE BRIDGE WORK.

After doing justice to the hospitality of the Fleet. wood Park horsemen, the Presiaont, Mr, Hosea B. Perkins, extended to the guosts a hearty and graceful Welcome.
