N'ntrurN 10 expectation, the toncy Island
season did not close with the coming in Of Sep
temhcr. and the consequence Is that the boats
still find profit in the traffic. and are not to be
withdrawn to-day, as was announced. In fact
yesterdays heat made Yesterdays exodus one
OF the sights II the times The doorman at the
GRIND Central Depot said on Saturday night
that it didn't seem possible that there could be
ANYBODY left in New York. because the out-of-
town rush was so great. Had he taken his
stand ON Coney Island beach yesterday ut in
the afternoon. he would have changed his mind.
Inc boats running to the ends OF the island
were not competent to the demand. The Twcn-
V-third street line Of ears was u marvel of in
ecnious torture to animals all day long. The
boats LEFT hourly. and the cars arrived at the
Twenty third street depot every few minutes
packed like sardinc boxes the passengers heat
ed and fcvcrish. the drivers cross and insocnt
the horses utterly weary. shivering with pain
and dripping with sweat. The boats were all
ov"rladrn. IT II were not so late IN the season
1t would I've we'll for the inspectors. whoever
they may bc. To pay careful attention to the dan
gers Of these boat trips. Fortunately in this
country everybody looks out for himself. and
there have been no accidents to passengers. but
it j. a wonder and providence no; at all due
to care or prevention ON the part Of the boat au-
thortics.
A. with the boats so with tho cars. Each line
was cramped by the rush. 1t would not do 10
run extra trains. for the time tables are over
crowded lis II il. So the difficulty was met by
putting on extra cars. Some trains had rs many
n ten ears. each with every seat occupied. and
passengers risking life and Limb on the plat
forms. while Tho miles were made in extra haz-
ard us time. During the chilly storm " last
