TOWER OF MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, PLASTERED WITH ADAMANT. * McKIM, MEAD & WHITE, Architects.


The above is au excellent cut of the tall and grace- ful towerofthe new Madison Square Garden Building, New York City. " This tower is 341 feet in height, and it will be a surprise to many to know that it ls fitted up in elegant suites of rooms for familles. The vibration of such a tower in a high wind is eon- siderable, and when the work of plastering reached this part of the building it was, of course, necessary to nse the very best plastering material knowu. It is needless to add that Adamant was used.

DYCKERHOFF PORTLAND CEMENT


S SUPERIOR to any other Portland Cement made. It is very finely ground, always uniform and reliable, and of such extraordinary strength that it will permit the addition of 25 per cent. more sand, etc., than any other well-known Portland Cement, and produce the most durable work. It is unalterable in volume and not liable to crack." The foundations of many of the most important buildings recently erected in this city were constructed of the Dyckerhoff Portland Cement, such as the Statue of Liberty, Equitable Life, New York Times, New York World, Puck, Judge, Metropolitan Opera House, Metropolitan Telephone, U.

TESTIMONIALS : The Trustees of New York and Brooklyn Bridge. BROOKLYN, Jan. 21st, 1892. NEW YORK . AND' ROSENDALE CEMENT CO.


Gentlemen : - It affords me pleasure to state that since 1874. we haveused, on the East River Bridge and its approaches, over 70,000 barrels of your Cement, with uniformly satisfactory re- sults,. At one time a series of tests were made, by our Mr. A. V. Abbott, of your Cement ex- tending over a period of ten months. ; Each result given was obtained by breaking fine bri- quets and taking the average. One set of samples were placed in water and the other set re -- mained in the air.


(See tests A. V. Abbott, C. E.) Very truly yours,


C., C. MARTIN, P. A. Engineer, East River Bridge.


Engineer's Office, Monongahela Bridge.


PITTSBURGH, Jan. 27th, 1882. Sirs :- Tbe New York and Rosendale Cement gave entire satisfaction at the Monongahela Bridge. It has been used for concrete in' foundations under water, and in the concrete filling of the large piers,'with entire success. Especially commend- able is its reliable even quality, which, we found, distinguishes it favorably in that respect from otber cements used in the same work.


G. LINDENTHAL, Chief Engineer, Monongahela Bridge.


Warranted superior to any brand of Rosendale Cement manufactured for use under, or out of water. Especially adapted where tensile and compressive tests are required. Is largely used in Hydraulic, Sewerage, Bridge and Concrete Work through- out the country. Over 100,000 barrels of this Cement were used on the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and its approaches, which, according to the report of the engineer in charge, " was always found fully up to the specifications required, and in many instances far exceeding them."


OUR CEMENT IS OF FIRST QUALITY.


Put up in new barrels of our own make, well prepared, and EACH BARREL CONTAINING 300 POUNDS CEMENT. Made from the natural stone and setting either above or under water. Especially adapted for work where tensile and compressive tests are required.

ALSEN'S PORTLAND CEMENT


is conceded to be the best and strongest Cement made in Europe, and it is the most largely manufactured.


It is specified by the most prominent engineers in the United States-prefer- ence being given to it above all brands.


It is specially adapted for heavy foundation work ; it has been used and specified for the foundations for nearly all the prominent Railroad Bridges in this Country, among which are the following


PLATTSMOUTH BRIDGE, Neb. HARLEM BRIDGE, N. Y.


SIOUX CITY BRIDGE, la. POUGHKEEPSIE BRIDGE, N. Y.


BLAIR CROSSING BRIDGE, la. CANTILEVER BRIDGE, Niagara Falls.


ST. LOUIS BRIDGE, Mo. OMAHA BRIDGE; Neb.


MEMPHIS BRIDGE, Tenn. JACKSONVILLE BRIDGE, Fla.


Its greater strength admits, of a large addition of sand than any other cement, and makes it the most economical cement to use.


Test made by New York Department of Docks, March 19th, 1892 :


Tensile strength in 7 days, mixed one part cement and two parts sand, 265 lbs. per square inch.


Tests made under Col: D. C. HOUSTON, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., of Alsen's Cement used for sea wall around Governor's Island, New York Harbor :
