THE NEW OXYGEN LIGHT.-Promenader
on Broadway last night had an excellent
opportunity of contrasting the clear, mel
low, pleasant, new oxygen light with the
filthy, unreliable stuff supplied by the gas
companies. The establishment at the corner
of Prince street and Broadway shone with
unwonted splendor. Three gas jets in each
window illuminated the store in every part,
compelling the burners in the globes (Which
hung plentifully around) to "pale their in
cifectual ires," and casting over the broad
pavement and far into the street stream
of light. People passing up and down

Years gifts paused to view the extraordi-

which the old gas throws on the objects in
shop windows and on the fagways never

bright is brightest into so brilliant
display. The dim, uncertain yellow Of
the old gas was in marked contrast with
this new and brilliant light. The steady
jets Of light, without flicker, threw q glow
of magnificent color on the objects by which
they were surrounded, while the gas with
which the store is ordinarily lighted ap-
peared Of q pale, uncertain color. Hun
dreds of people gathered in the neighbor-
hood of Prince street and Broadway in the
evening to admire the new light, and the
opinion was generally expressed that there

lighted, but brilliantly illuminated.-Neto
