examination of your kno Wedge of the
streets across which your car is TO pass.
This is required in order that the
officials may be certain before they
take a new man that he is worth their
attention. 1t is assumed that he can
tell at once about what the distance
is, for instance, between Canal street
and Fourteenth street on uptown lines
or from Broadway to Sixth venue on
cross-town lines, or between any two
important points on the road. This
is required in order that the conduc,
tor may be able to know how long a
time will be required to go from one
point to another, and this again is
necessary in order that the conductor
may know not only when he is behind
or ahead of time at a given point, bat
also whether he is going to be ahead
or behind time at a point beyond.
Besides, a close knowledge of the
streets, and the order in which they
come is necessary in order that tho
conductor may know when to annouce

New York Letter in Troy Times.
The old Park theater $50 called be-
cause it faced the park) was the prop
erty of John Jacob Aston, who rented
it for Sl7, 900 a year. He no doubt
intended to make it 800, 900, but the
times were 30 hard that a small abate-
ment was allowed. This was then the
dearest rent paid for any place of
amusement in the Union, and it was
surprising how any manager could
raise that amount. The old Park was
burned down in 1S4S, and It's ate now
is covered with stately buildings. 1t
is still a part Of the Astor estate, and
brings a better rent than ever.
B ,oth's theater has rented as high as
$40 600, but under the present
pressure the price 10 nearly down
one half. This theater belongs to
the Cakes Ames estate, and will
no doubt be eventually sold or demol.

The Union Square thester Is leased by
Sheridan Shook, who pays a rent of
$50 COO. The present Park theater ia
aid to rent for SIG 200, but the
Grand Opera brings jaw Gould net
less than $50. 600. The Fifth Avenue
theater belongs 20 the Gilsey estate
aud rents for $4,000. The Madison
Square theater Is the only one in the
city that is owned by its manager, M.
81. Mallory. 1t would readily rent
tor $40, 900. The Thalia theater (tor.
merly the Old Bower,) belongs to the
Astors and Its rem is probably $l2,
900.
These figures show the immense
power with which the dram, holds
the public. Great cities will have

that during a scarcity of food in an
cient Rome actors were allowed to re-
main while other professions were
