owned by the party of the second part, with a space of from
10 to 15 ft. between the two bridges. Rugby Road is the
principal thoroughfare to the athletic grounds of the University

number of people using these bridges at the same time, there
is danger is some of them being pushed over the sides of the
bridges and also of automobiles falling through on the tracks.
