Tho New York and Brooklyn Ferr1es--
Some Auction!

Some Auction:
The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier gives the following account of the
recent .nie Of the New York and Brooklyn fer
ries:
There was very pretty little financial and
solid struggle to-day, between New York and
BROOKLYN, in the case Of the eale Of the ferries
connecting the two cities. Ths franchise be-
longs to this city. but it has been held By lease
of len years BY Brooklyn people. During the
Rss ten 1fy ys!Rs Rad 5s4s sss
profitable. But the traffic and business Of the
Fulton and South Ferries make up the delin-
quenc,es Of the others, aad afford splendid
msrei7 oil profit.
: Oh the New York side were ranged Geo. Law,
Ben. Wood aud Z. K G4zrason. formerly Mayor
steamers on the other SIDE Of the Pacific.
Brooklyn was r. presented BY c. P. Smith, Fres-
ident Of Union Fe,ry Company; the President
Of the Brooklyn Bank, and two or three other
rich old codRere, who live aud share their oil in
the city Of Churches. They ranged themselves
directly iu front Of the auctioneer, and determi-
nation Was to be seen exhibited in their faces.
The sale WAS made By authority Of our City
Comptroller, and it took place in one Of the
Court rooms Of the City Hall. There were not
present, excluding the reporters, oser forty per-
sons, and l was told by good judge Of men
dollars was represented in that little assembly.
The Brooklyn men bent Geo. Law, Ben Wood
and Garrison. The bidding was started q.
$50 900 year the former renta1-and run ,iP,
and was Knocked down to the Uaion Ferry TO.
for Sl03,000- This is d pretty good increase in
the value Of city property.
The sac did not occupy more than ten min
ntes. As soon rs it WAS over the purchaser
drew out Of his pocket check ALREADY prepared
on the Brookl5 Dank, and be had only to 6ll in
the amount. No one seemed to know exactly
who did the bidding on the New York side. All
could notice after tbe le ,se WIS knocked down
to The Brooklyu folks, that Gen Law looked
mighty black in IL e lace, wbiIe Ben Wood be-
came paler than eyer. The fare On the ferries
will be continued at two cents, which Is gross
shame. The uuc.ioneer made good thing out
nf tho sa1n
