Model of Remington Bridge Exhibition Described in New York

The Albion reports on Mr. Remmington's bridge model in a New York exhibit. The 186 foot span rests five feet above the floor with light stringers and open flooring, yet the model supports many visitors. Observers note its graceful curve and the secret lies in lengthwise fiber strain, inviting public curiosity and explanation. An anecdote involves the Neapolitan ambassador at Lumley’s fete, who jokes about recognizing Carlotta Grisi with her clothes on.

It mentions Broadbrim and Shrike curiosities, anonymous satirical writings, a wishful note for a good wife, warnings from Mrs Partington, a sailor leaving mid play, flirtatious laments over hymen, a priest’s infertile parish jest, and a remark on laziness as polite phrasing.
