THE PRoK-sLIr FsRRr.-On Saturday morning the
boat, Of the Peck-sGp Ferry will their trips TO
Peck slip instead of running TO the foot of Roosevelt
street. as they have done for the past tWo weeks
The ferry-houses It Peck slip have been thoroughly
refitted, painted and much improved. The front has
been altered SO as to make three entrances two for
foot passengers. and double entrance for vehicles
The covering over the bridgeway has been extended
twenty-five feet, giving ample shelter in stormy
weather. The floors in the saloons have been relaid
new boxes made for the ferrymasters, and complets
arrangements made for comfort and convenience.
Yesterday, the Company announced that they had
determined to recuce the price. for vehicles to the
price,: Ore-horse business-wsgon, five cents two
horse maIket-wsgon. ten cents; one-horse market
wagon. five cents; two-horse wagon loaosd with
loose Lay, twenty cents; two-borsc wagon, loaied
with pressed bay thirteen cents hogs, sheep or calf
esoh two cents; neat cattle, each, five cents. The
fare for foot passengers will remain at cent that
being considered low enough for the longest ferry on
the river and with the superior accommodations that
will be shortly afforded by the Company. Two OF the
lew boats are so nearly completed that 1t is con-
den,y expected they will be placed on the route the
first week in July. Toe boilers are already H. and
the Novelty Works are pushing forward the new
machinery fast possible.
The James-slip Ferry, yesterday afternoon, reduced
their rates for vehicles nearly balf the former
rates. The fare for foo; passengers remains the same
rs before.
