forth the was a trine over three inches Whan with President Arthur at bead caino across he ments marked a deflection of three inches more making about six altogether When tho procession had reached the bridge came back to its original of about throe inches The ments show that tho deflection has not been any moro than it was yesterday We ex- that would LH a deflection of more than six inches ou Thursday and were ot course agreeably to und that wo were disappointed But tho bride o span can drop down four feet the limit of elas of tho cables is deflection of 00 toet represents the limit of the
