   There was another celebration in Lansing on Tuesday last (Sept. 17) upon the event of the arrival of the cars on the Midland at the great trestle bridge over Beardsley Gulf. From 1,200 to 1,500 people were present and enjoyed a ride on their own railroad. The Genoa band was there and added their music to the screech of the locomotive. This trestle work is the largest in this part of the country. It is 480 feet long and 74 feet high from the bed of the stream.
