The Largest Crowd Yet.

Inc New YORK Telegram says: VI
Sunday there was a lively day on tn
bridge. People begun to cross over il
crowds at an earlier hour and tn,
crowds We're larger than on any othe
day during the past two weeks. "
thought I'd wait till the novelty of tht
bridge wore off before crossing, SO as tt
avoid the crowd said lady aftel
having endured the pressure in tht
crowd outside of the Brooklyn gate for
five minutes while waiting to pass
through. People came through the
brooklyn gates at an average rate OF
sixty IL minnie for each toll taker at
o'clock. The crowd grew SO great that
gentlemen found their hats frequently
tipped over bS tn parasols of the
ladies, and parents begun to carry their
children, lest the little ones should be
| stepped On. 1t was then noticed that
the aArrla, ,e, We're travelling in both di-
rections in the north carriageway.
This was because two pane Is of rail
| ing had been taken out Of the New York
end Of the passenger-way, and all the
people going to Brooklyn turned into
the south carriage road. The walk over
| was warm and sultry. Those in the
carriagc-way had one advantage over
those above on the promenade. There
were no policemen there to make them
move on. They did not linger long,
however, in one place. Tie sun was
too hot to make that agreeable until at-
ter 5 o'clock, when the sky was over
cast with clouds.
AS the temperature moderated, the
numbers rapidly increased. Between
5 and & O'Clock four toll takers were re-
luired at the New York end and three
at the other. These men passed an
average Of fifty each per minute when
the rush came. AS it takes half an hour
to cross the bridge in crowd it was
estimated that there was at one time
not FAR from 10000 persons On the
bridge. Many who crossed the city
hall park stopped to look through
bridge. Footpath and roadway seemed
to be packed solid. 1t is certain more
people were on the bridge between )
and o'clock than during any other
like length Of time since ii was opened.
Some Of the policemen said that more
people passed over the bridge yesterday
than on any day since it WAS opened,
not excepting the first Sunday. The
use of the carriage road for the pasSen-
gers going to Brooklyn prevented jams.
