SYDNEY'S GREAT BRIDGE.

ATTRACTION FOR VISITORS. WORK VIRTUALLY FINISHED. It is already assured that the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge will be the means of attracting a large number of tourists and others. Tourist organisations in various parts of the world, as well as in the States of Australia, have for a year given some attention to the possibilities, says the correspondent of the Melbourne Argus. The ocean travel parties promoted annually in the United Slates may next year give Australia more notice than usual. The bridge is expected, in this way, to be profitable ir« its initial stage of operation. Other States than New South Wales may benefit. Sydney will miss Mr. Lawrence Ennis, the'director of Dorman, Long, and Company, who has been in charge of the construction of the bridge. He, too, will miss Sydney, for he has bsen resident there six years. He left for England recently. ' Most of his engineers preceded him. The work is virtually completed. , The building of the Approaches to tno bridge is being pushed on. It was thought that all the properties in the way of this work had been demolished years a«o About 300 buildings were knocked down on the north .Id. of the harbour worshipped.
