THE BROOKLYN DAILY' JEAGXE STJy PAY. JUNff 7. 1896. 23 HORSES, "CARRIAGES, ETC. EXCURSIONS.

AMUSEMENTS. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. THE TROtLEY EXPRESS CARS, BETTER ROADS TO GREENWOOD We are in favor of anything that will be ot service to the community. J. Rothschild Son's manager I am opposed to the trolley companies going into the express business.

What they should do is to Improve the passenger service. It is wretched now, and, if this scheme goes into effect, will doubtless become worse. Beside that, it will drive a large number of expressmen out of the business. I am opposed to all monopolies, and believe in municipal ownership of railroads. You can say that we will not patronize the trolley package delivery companies.

They have enough to do without going into outside schemes. The reporter for the Eagle then visited the Wallabout market and obtained from a number of the merchants there an opinion upon the proposed express service. Pope Kile and Berrian Brothers, and others In general produce lines; Herman Lins Sons, wholesale grocers; Buehl, Koenlg Weitzel, poultry men; Protzman Seaton, meat dealers, and B. Dezendorf, fish dsalers, were Interviewed. The result was a concurrence of opinion which was remarkable tor Its sentiment in favor of the project.

The marker, through the fact that the Washington avenue and Flushing avenue lines of trolley railroad traverse one half of Its boundaries, is better situated to be benefited by such facility, perhaps, than any other center of Industry In Brook'yn. The business there, however. Is exclusively wholesale and consequently nearly all the dealers have one or more trucks of thel. own. These carry the goods dealt In directly from the terminals of transportation lines to the stands in the market, so that In the receipt of produce, the trolley Idea would be ot little if any service.

Tihe same, also, must be said of such deliveries as the dealers make to their customers about the city; except that In very small lots resort Is had to the market express men, who with their wagons make deliveries in any part of the city at a rate of from 10 to 15 cents per package and without handling, which Is desirable In the matter of berries and other fruits. In shipments whlchi unavoidably involve re handllng and which are consigned to points not covered by wagon express rouies, but are reached by the trolleys, such as Coney Island, Jamaica, Flushing, the suggested new method of transportation will undoubtedly be of great use. The possibility that the ease with which consumers may obtain suplies direct from the city might injure the trade of local dealers of the suburbs, was admitted, but It was also believed that such contingency would be offset In effect by Increased advantages of the service to tlhe dealers themselves. It was added that it might also be argued that the bridge enables Brooklynites to shop in New York, which it unquestionably does, but on the other hand it induces many people to come to Brooklyn to live whose expenditures here more than preserve the balance of trade between the two cities.

DECISION AGAINST CABMEN. They Cannot Use the Streets for a Hack Stand. The appellate division of the supreme court in Now York, yesterday handed down a decision in a case brought to tost the right of liverymen to keep cabs standing in front of hotels. The case wos decided adversely to the ordinary cabman. The Buit was the outcome of an agitation carried on a year ago, to secure authority from tho aldermen for the establishment of regular cab stands in the vicinity of certain hotelB where any cabman would have the same chance to get into line as those employed by liverymen holding contraots with the hotel.

The hotel keepers objected to having their guests entrusted to the tender mercies of night hawks who might get into line, and it was finally decided that the aldermen had no right to grant any such authority as was asked for. Then a test case was brought on tho relation of Joseph R. Thompson, a licensed cabman, against William Brookilold, then commissioner of public works, and William Hon kol, superintendent of the bureau of encum byanoes. Thompson asked for a mandamus directing tho commissioner and the superintendent to remove nil hack man claiming to use as a hack stand, portions of streets adjoining the hotol Waldorf and the Holland house. The motion for writ of mandamus was denied in special term and an appeal was taken.

Now the appellate division affirms tho order of the special term with costs. Tho opinion is written by Justice O'Brien who says there is no doubt about tho law in tho caBe, which is that the streets are for tho use of the public, and that free and uninterrupted ubo must bo maintained. Tho question is one of faot, and the testimony of tho proprietors of the hotels is cited. to snow that tho cabmen who stand there are not allowed to solicit custom but only to answer callB from the hotel, and that it would be a hardship to the guests of the hotel not to be able to summon a oarriage at any moment. The court does not pass finally upon "the question as to whether tho liverymen ever oxoeed tho rights whioh they certainly have to wait a reasonable time but it holds that it would not be right to issue a mandamus unless such abuso was made out very clearly.

Tho gueBts of hotels are to bo considered, as well as tho hackmen and when there is a reasonable doubt about the facts the commissioner of public works is tho proper person to decide whother there is a nuiBanco or not. "Before they build any more skyscrapers in this town," observed Uncle Allen Sparks, picking his way gingerly across the muddy street, "my opinion ia that they ought to pay a little more attention to scraping th orta." Chicago Tribune. What Brooklyn Dealers Say About the New Service. SURE TO BE A SUCCESS. The Project Looked Upon With Favor by Merchants Generally Its Effect Upon the Suburban Towns All Kinds of Freight to Be Delivered Freight Stations Can Be Established Throughout the.

City. The proposition to establish a trolley express service in Brooklyn will meet with the hearty co operation of the merchants of the city. Short talks with many of them discloses their cardial approval of the plan, provided certain and economical service is insured. Among those who expressed opinions to day in the matter were many of the merchants doing business on Fulton street. Mr.

Abraham of Abraham Straus said: "I think It is a step in the right direction and, nder proper conditions, it ought to be perfectly feasible. Such a service though could hardly be inaugurated In Fulton street, which Is already frightfully gongested. Put into operation there it would simply block traffic more than ever. The proper thing to do is for the city to widen Livingston street, it could be done for a million and a half of dollars, and divert traffic from Fulton street to it. In other words, make Livingston street supplemental to Fulton street.

I am glad to see Mr. Rossiter taking the matter up. He has done a great deal for the improvement of transit in Brooklyn. He is an up to date business man. His system of transfers has been of immense advantage to people already.

What his comany needs is more freedom in running Its cars. He realizes that better than anyone else. Brooklyn, I suppose, is too poor to attempt any great improvement such as I suggest. We must wait until greater New York swallows us up. Then it may come." Mr.

Liebmann of the Liebmann company It is a splendid proposition and a stare should be made right away, as an experiment. II successful the whole express business of the city will eventually go into the hands of the railroad company. Goods of all descriptions may be transported, especially at night, when the streetB are quiet and more or less empty. This applies, of course, to the main business streets, not the private avenues and streets given over to residences. I mean Fulton, Court, Myrtle avenue, Broadway, Washington street.

Grand street, etc. The old car and horse stables belonging to the various trolley lines could be utilized as depots for the reception of whole train loads of goods and used as distributing points for certain districts, Just as St. John's park station, In New York, is used by the New York Central railroad. The plan is feasible, I am sure, and an experiment can do no harm anyway. We can't expect to keep Brooklyn entirely a place of homes.

There must be business in some part of the city if all property values are not to lapse. P. F. Gllcrist, superintendent of the delivery department of F. Loeser Co.

I have read about the scheme and have given it a good deal of thought. I am thoroughly convinced that it Is feasible and will be successful. With a large firm like this, with all its facilities for delivering goods, it will not make so much difference. Yet this firm can use It to advantage in many cases. If the company will do as it promises, it will result in an excellent delivery system of great service to tho merchants and ot equal benefit to the trades people.

Manager B. F. Sladl of Smith, Gray Co. We have had no trouble in having our goods delivered promptly by the local express companies, because we have an arrangement with a number of them. I can see where the new project will facilitate the delivery of goods on Long Island and in the suburbs.

Anything that does that has our unqualified approval I trust that the new venture will be success ful. It shows that we are living in a evolu tionary time. Mr. Balch of Balch, Price Co. I don't know anything about the matter and don't care anything about it.

It is out of my line of business and will have no effect upon us. A. I. Namm I approve of the plan thoroughly. It will be of great benefit to mer cvhaoits and people alike.

It will not be possible however to introduce it In Fulton street. It is already too crowded there and the new service would make it dangerous to the public. If Atlantic avenue could be used it would be a splendid thing. Mr. A.

Webster, of Webster Son, Jewelers I read with a good deal ot pleasure of the new use to which the trolley cars are to be devoted. I think it an excellent scheme and one which will prove of great benefit to the merchants of this city. It will tend to improve the package service and will, I am sure, be generally apreclated. The only trouble I fear is that it may interfere with tlhe passenger service on the busy thoroughfares. It is to be hoped that will be obviated, if It Is, it will, I repeat, be a great service.

Mr. manager of the J. M. orton Co. Ice Cream' company Trolley express is a good thing try.

Almost any point in the city could be reached by it in an hour, and the lines form a network that covers practically the whole city. I am In favor of it, though I think it would hardly do on Fulton street. Superintendent Petit of T. K. Horton If the company does what It ays It will, the delivery of goods to all parts of the city, the suburbs and, In fact, the whole country, will be expedited.

Personally I am greatly In favor of It and Mr. Horton Is also. We welcome any innovation that has for its object the facilitation of business. The new Package Delivery company has a large field and will reduce the price of delivery. It means a saving to the storekeeper and consequently to the purchaser.

S. F. Frasick, manager of the Remington Arms company I think favorably of the idea. It is in use In my old home, Hartford, and has proved of great service. People are able to obtain goods and merchandise of all sorts easily, quickly and cheaply.

Previous to its "Introduction there people had to go in their own wagons lor tnelr goods, with the rapid growth and spread of Brooklyn the Introduction of the trolley express would be of great service and utility to the merchants of the city and the people In the suburbs. We are going to avail ourselves of the service If established and we look forward to considerable benefit from it. Edwin C. Burt of Edwin Burt Co. The scheme strikes me as a good thing.

It will certainly be more expeditious than the method in use at the present time, and the cost ought not to be great. Brooklyn has been much hurt by discrimination by the express companies. If this new company would guarantee us a fair rate, like New York has it would deserve and have immediate success. Mr. Harding of the Harding Manufacturing company I should think that the nlan would be practicable and certainly very convenient and expeditious.

To become a success it would have to be equally as good if not better than the present methods in use and at a cost not in excess ot that charged now. A good service, extending" throughout the city at a low cost would prove a great success as a money making business and a convenience to the people of the city. wuiara a. uoy, manager lor French, Shriner, Tjrner said: "I think the establishment of an express service a most excellent idea. It can be made into a vprv god thing, and it well conducted will attain a large measure of success.

The cost of pack ago delivery in Brooklyn to day is about 30 cents. The railroad trolley express ought to make money at 7 or cent rate. I see no reason why it should not be put in opera tion. Mr. Harris, manager of the Brooklyn Trous er company If such a thing is practicable it will prove a great convenience to tho people of Brooklyn.

Certainly the city requires a good express service. That now in operation is in my opinion utterly poor ana unreliable. No city that I know of with one ouarter the population Is so miserably equipped for express service. I have in my five years' experience here found the local service so poor mat ao not use it at ail. it is unreliable and all ot my business therefore goes to New York.

This plan Is unsatisfactory, but it is better than trusting in the local expresses. Stevenson ot Stevenson Marsters I don't care ono way or another about it. The matter has no direct interest for us In a business way, because our delivery service is made by boys. It might prove a good thine. though1.

William Lockett of George Lockett Sons Our customers in Jamaica, Hyde Park and other Long Island towns think it will be ot great service to'' them, and 1 believe It will. Advocated by ex Health Commissioner J. H. Raymond. WANTS NINTH AV.

ASPHALTED Prominent Undertakers Disagree WItli the Doctor and Say That Fourth Avenue Is a Good Enough Road to the Cemetery Sixth Avenue Might Be Paved, but Only With Granite Blocks. Dr. J. H. Raymond of Joralemon street thinks people should have a better driveway from the city proper to Greenwood cemetery.

He so expressed himself in a recent communication to the Eagle, and last evening ha said to an Eagle reporter: "The Eagle, the other evening told its readers of the Eastern parkway oa which the olty is to expend Previous Issues chronicled the expenditures and proposed expenditures of millions for park and pleasure drive purposes and for the happiness of wheelmen. That Brooklyn is. making ample provision for its pleasure seekers no one will question. I am not disposed to criticise these expenditures or to regard them as extravagant, for I well know it is such improvements as these that enhance the. reputation of the city and make it more "beautiful, inducing the wealthy now here to remain and attracting others to make it their home.

I believe that it is money well invested, which will in the future pay into the city treasury a high rate of Interest. "In the various improvements contemplateol I fall, however, to note any which have in view a better means of reaching Greenwood cemetery. Here is a cemetery wherein are buried more than 200,000 persons, the beloved dead of thousands of the living, who take delight In visiting this sacred spot, but who, in. order to reach it, must drive over rough and noisy pavements, while the pleasure seeker has at his disposal miles upon miles of "the finest asphalt. The visitor to Greenwood may, it ia true; drive through the park, but when" he reaches the Fifteenth street entrance at Ninth avenue he will have several blocks: of rough cobblestones still before him.

But the mourners who are accompanying the remains of their dear ones cannot drive through the park, but must be jolted over a stone' roadway tj the very gate of the cemetery, and when they return, must leave it by one of the roughest paved streets to be found in the city. We doubt If there is another city In the world whose principal cemetery is reached by such routes as is Greenwood. "If suggestions to our city authorities in order, I would recommend that Ninth avenue be paved with asphalt from the Fifteenth street entrance of the park to the Twentieth street entrance to Greenwood. This would furnish a satisfactory route for the visitor. "The problem "of providing an appropriate one for funerals, is more difficult.

If such "a route could be laid out along the edge of the park, in such manner as to avoid oonfllct the pleasure seeker, and at the same' time diminish so far as is possible the depressing influences of what under the best of surrburji lngs is sad enough, thousands of citizens would be grateful beyond expression." The reporter afterward Interviewed several undertakers on the question. A representative of a prominent firm, who did not' desire his name used, because he could not authoritatively voice, his employers' opinion, said: "There is only one way for funerals to enter Greenwood cemetery and that is through the main entrance at Fifth avenue and 'Twenty fifth street. I have driven horses for twenty five years and I don't see what better road anyone wants than out Fourth avenue to Greenwood. It is a mistake, to my notion, to want asphalt anywhere that horses must travel, as they have great trouble in keeping their feet on it after a shower or in frosty weather, when it is as hard as flPbTe Belgian block pavement is a good enough. road, and I don't see why it should be changed to asphalt." G.

Henderson, with Frank S. Hendoip son. Myrtle avenue and Jay street, "The roads to Greenwood are all very good from any part of Brooklyn. Beside. from East New York one can drive down Bushwick avenue to Lafayette, Lafayette to Fort Greene place or St.

Felix street, to Hanson place, to Fourth avenue, which Is paved with Belgian block all the way to Greenwood. Drivers of horses don't like asphalt, because the horses are afraid of it. Better time can be made on Belgian block because horses ace surer of their footing. On asphalt they alip constantly. There is but one.entrance for tuner als at Greenwood.

You can, of course, get in the back entrances, but it is necessary to obtain a special permit. To pave Ninth avenue, from Fifteenth street to. the Twentieth street entrance, would not do undertaker any good, for they would have to drive to Twentv flfth utraot Tl mlat 0al wuuuuuaM visitors, however." Frank M. Fairchild, undertaker, successor to George Corliss, on Fulton street, opposite North Oxford street, said: "I think a wise thing to do would be to pave Sixth avenue Its entire length. That would make a nice drive for undertakers ail pleasure seekers as well.

Ot course. Four avenue is paved, but that is used by ash carts and like vehicles. It I were asked my opinion I would say that it is not wise to spend money to pave Ninth avenue from Fifteenth, street to the cemetery, as nobody would want to drive that way. I cant help but say that the paving at Sixth avenue would be the best thing to do. We sometimes drive out Union street to Fifteenth, and then' Fifth avenue, but that is not quite so direct." FLORENCE DRAMATIC SOCIETY.

Not Afraid to Face Brooklyn on ttt Record. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: As an old member of the Florence Dramatic Bociety, I write, to say that it is hardly, to give such undesirable notoriety to an association of respectable ladies and gentlemen who compose the Florence society on account of the shortcomings of the late chairman of the dramatio committee of the organization. For the benefit of the friends of the I would that Mrs. Nicholson was not a member; also, that It has ever been the proud boast of the Florenc that any lady attending its. social functions wltb out an escort was as safe from moral danger as if under" tho eyes of her parents or guardians.

Finally, the constitution and bylaws of the Florence contains a clauce which reads as followat "That any member of the.soclety who does anything unbecoming a lady or gentlemzan. in or out of the society Is subject to expulsion." Florence society is not afraid to face the respectable elements of Brooklyn society on Its record; and will no doubt take, suitable action in the present Instance to maintain lt3 heretofore unsullied fame. Please give this note the same prominence' that you have the very unfortunate case referred to, so that the parents and friends ot the lady members of the Florence can be assured that, under the presidency of' Mr. Ronald Taylor and his' corps of assistants, they can feel safe respecting th moral atmosphere of their surroundings, as under previous 'administrations.

A CLASS OF SEVEN" HOLDS ITS COMMENCEMENT. Excellent Features on a Programme Given in St. Luke's Chapel Essays by the Young Women The nineteenth annual commencement exercises of Miss Rounds' school for girls at 525 Clinton av enue were held last evening In St. Luke's chapel. It is on unusual thing for exercises of the kind to be held on a Saturday evening, but in deference to the wishes of a number of the friends of the students who could not be present at any other time, an exception was made to the rules.

The event was one of the most delightful in the history of the school. The main school room and the bright cheertul gymnasium rooms were beautifully decorated with flags and daisies, and the spa clous grounds and lawn were brilliantly lighted with Chinese lanterns. The exercises opened at 8 o'clock in St. Luke's chapel, which was crowded by a representative audience Including many residents of the hill section of the city. Among those present were: Mr.

and Mrs. Francis O. Affplrl. Mr. na Vm Thomas S.

Blankley, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred B. Crulk nuuua, ittt. ivuu jars, sioazo ueaaun, jar.

and Mrs. James M. Fuller, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin E.

Knee Jand, Mr. and Mrs. J. Rogers Maxwell, Mr. and Mrs.

Frank L. Minton, Dr. Arthur Pell and Mrs. Christopher D. Robert, Mr.

and Mrs. John L. Salter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert T.

andMrs.Joseph T. Sutphln, and Mr. and Mrs. William A.Towner. Mrs.

Henry F. Kneeland. The fair graduates and the rest of the school dressed in white occupied front seats in the chapel, the platform of which was turned into a conservatory of roses and the choicest exotics. A charming feature was a corps of ushers, consisting either of friends or members of the school, as follows: Miss Grace Towner, Miss Lisa Bloodgood, Miss Antoinette Pell, Miss Annie Salter, Miss Amy Bowers and Miss Christine Tracy. The young and pretty ushers wore corsage bouquets and discharged the duties assigned to them with ease and grace.

The programme opened with Marzials' song of "Friendship," which was admirably sung. This was followed by an essay on "The Power of Personality," by Miss Annie Towner. The essayist perceived in the settlement ot differences between nations by arbitration the growing tendency to yield to the power of strong personality instead of putting reliance in brute force. The next essay, "Wordsworth as Seen In Three Narrative Poems," by Miss Katharine Foster Salter, was a careful and critical study of "Michael," "The Brothers" and "Margaret" In them Miss Salter had found evidence that the poet of nature was very familiar with tho humble lives. of the Cumberland and his own simple, beautiful home life was in some measure reflected in theirs.

Demuth's "Cavatine" was next given, with violin solo, by Miss Christine Minton, accompanied by Louis Mollenhauer. Miss Minton proved herself to be an artist of ability. In The opportunities of tne Leisure uiass" MIbs Louise Duncan Maxwell spoke of the bond uniting the two leisure classes In this country the wealthy and tramps this bond being the fact that their time Is in a sense their own; the tramp is his to make a man of himself if he will; the rich man's is his to use for humanity. The next essay, "The Industry ot Walter Scott." was by Miss Edith Kneeland. In view of the fact, the essayist argued, that Scott was the most voluminous writer of his time, it was perhaps generally supposed that he was "a born grind." This was far from the truth.

He hated a task, but he could hold to it. till he had written forty pages for a day's stint. Hermes' song. "The Lonely Rose," was sung by the Glee club, composed ot nine girls, whose voices were heard to advantage. Then came a discussion ot tne question, Do Luxuries Become Necessities?" The af firmative was taken by Miss Alice Huntington Gibb and the negative by Miss Margaret Jes.n Robert.

Miss Gibb regarded the taking of exercise in some form a necessity lor jjeo plo who lived lives of ease, whilo for the man chained to the desk all day, it was the veriest luxury, as was also a breath of fresh air to the prisoners of poverty In the crowded factory. Miss Robert found in luxury the sure proph ecy of an individual's degeneracy and a nation's decline. If there had been any considerable number of comforts in the feeble American colonies, she said, ther would not have made their struggle for freedom. And now their descendants were so much the slaves of the mighty dollar that they were in danger ot forgetting the lessons ot history. The soldier's Joy ana Mascagnl's "Caval lerla Rusticana" were admirabry rendered on the mandolins by Miss Alice Elizabeth Bow den, Miss Ruth Wadsworth Howard and Miss Loulso Duncan Maxwell, with piano accom paniment by MIbs Katharine Foster Salter.

Miss Cornelia Emails Blankley traced with discriminating iudement "The FriendshiD of Addison and Steele" from their Charterhouse school days, when Jo Addison made Dick Steele's translations and Dick blacked Jo's boots, through their joint literary work. when Dick furnished Ideas and Jo their setting, to that unhappy break, which ended their friendship, uartiett's "Polka di Con cert," arranged for the. piano, was played by Mlsss Florence V. De Baun. The presentation of the diplomas was made by Miss Christina Rounds.

The graduates were: Cornelia Emslie Blankley, English, Latin and French; Alice Huntington Gibb, English; Edith Kneeland, English and Latin; Loufse Duncan Maxwell, EngliBh, Latin and French; Margaret Jean Robert, English, Latin and German: Katharine Foster Salter, English; Annie Towner, English. Danclne followed the commencement exer cises, the main school room and the gym nasium rooms in tne new Dunaing being used for that purpose. The rest of the building, including class and recitation rooms, chemical laboratory and other features of in terest was Inspected by the many friends of the school present. BSmSSSa3S.
