FIVE CENT FARES
The announcement that the management of the
Manhattan Company had decided to reduce the fares
on the Metropolitan and New York IL" roads
to have been premature. In the interview had by
HERALD reporter recently with Mr.. Cyrus W. Field.
the policy OF the new management foreshadowed,
for yesterday Mr. Cowing, OF the old New York, re-
peated in detail the general idea thrown out by MIR.
Field The latter, 1t will be remembered, long be-
fore the ve cent fare agitation began. pronounced
in favor OF mixed trains and still holds his opinion
on that subject. In an interview with Mr.. Cowing

Has this matter been discussed at meetings OF the

tics have talked much concerning the plan"
Glow do they stand on the subject?"
"They are all in favor Of such plan has been
suggested by Mr.. Field but they are not unanimous
as to how it should be carried out. Some tavor
mixed trains; Others like myself, want to have i've

"what percentage of ten cent trains would you
runy'
''The number would depend entirely on the de-
mand. For starter l would train III
every three a ten cent train. Then, If the sup
port not sufficient, would make it in every
four, and if that too much would make it one
in five. and II that was not supported would abolish
the ten cent trains altogether and have the are hve
cents at all times"

be well patronized.'

several gentlemen connected with the roads. that

conveyed that the reduction would be made
