Interview with Mr.. Bergh.
When Mr.. Bergh arrived meanwhile at the depot
OF the Third Avenue line at Sxty-sixth street. his
appearance was greeted with great deal OF sur
prise and anger. The President, Superintendent
and others were inveighing loudly against him and
against his efforts to ruin the line when suddenly
Bergh appeared In the body and took the citadel,
as 1t were, by strategy. When
MIR. BERGa ENTERED THE OFFICE
OF the President the door was Immediately closed,
and all except the officers OF the company were ex-
cluded. The interview between these and Mr..
Bergh lasted about one hour, when the door opened,
and he (Mr. Bergh), having hold OF the door, said
dictatngly to the President
Mr.. BERGH-It is agreed, then, that you shall run
no sick horses on the road9
The PREsIDENT-very well. But beg OF you to
allow the cars to run to-day. Do not impede them,
and tomorrow shall not run a single sick horse
on the road. But, you see, to take them of at
present would cause great deal Of trouble to the
public.
Turping to the superintendent the President
said
"Do not allow any emacIated horses to leave the
stable Be careful that those which 60 out are the
best that be got in the stable. BE very careful
to do this.-
MR. BERGH, HAVING ACCOMPLISHED his OBJECT,
walked out OF the room, when the reporter OF the
HERALD addressed HIM

Mr.. Bergh then departed on more philohippic
enterprises.
DID THE CARS Stop
Meantime the s0ciety's Officers at the Cooper In
stitute kept sending back the cars as fast they
arrived. For two hours they came and went with
out cessation, giving the reporter very clear sus-
picon that as fast as the returned cars arrived ct
the depot they must have wheeled round again and
come back as bold as ever. Indeed he noticed more
than one conductor whom he had seen driving
back previously with his vehicle. The shades OF
night had fallen as the nOvelists say, when Mr..
Bcrgh returned TO Fifth street and the Bowery, in
formed his officers OF the result OF his interview at
the depot and withdrew them, alter which the cars
