THE UNION FERRY THINKS.


There is great probability that winter
weather will have decidedly adverse effect upon the
Bridge receipts as far pedestrians concerned Tho
falling of recently has most marked. On Friday, In
round numbers only 10000 persons crossed on Thurs
day 10000, last week $4,000, and there has been
gradual taparing of from the time when the Bridge cars
began to run on the oath Of September. The cause OF
this decline in the number of pedestrians Is not UNDER
stood by the Bridge officials who refuse to commit them
selves any opinions the subject They say that con-
cusions can only be drawn from the figures Of entire
wear The Bridge railway OF course Is important factor
in the calculation and has had in all probability something
to do with the falling of OF receipts from pedestrians
The return Of the country people TO their homes another
element and still greater cause Is the fact that Tie
curiosity Of people about the Bridge Is now satisfied Tho
returns for the present month will perhaps give an accu
rate idea of the success failure Of the Bridge and more
especially Of the Bridge Railway At present as far as the
latter Is concerned the statistics show steady gain,
which win probably be largely increased as the days
grow colder and walking across the Bridge becomes
mild torture the strong and long pang OF anguish to
tho feeble The wind to concentrate itself In
kind Of airy funnel and TO pour all Its blasts into the
space between the two towers. This must make even
those who can III afford the cents seek the compare

Railway first went into steady operation TRIBUNE re-

was forescel in THE TRIBUNE Office that winter

Mr Kingsley declined to talk half column for newspa-

reporer stated the cause of the high prices chargeu

salaries received by the "leading men" OF STOCK
companies. The salaries, they said are regulated
like most values, by the law Of supply and demand;
there are too few good leading actors, and cOlSe-
ouently they command extravagant compensation
The scarcity Of leading men is attributed 10 the Ill
fuence of the prevailing system of travelling COM
panies, or combinations which, going through
season or two with single play, prevent young
actors getting the schooling which they were wont
TO receive in tho od-fashioned stock companies
That all the phases of this interesting discussion
NAV be presented the THE TRIBUNE to-day gives
the views of well-known actors.
Mr.. Irving has noticed the discussion, as ne Is
always keenly alive to everything affecting tne
welfare of the stage. In reply to the ques'iOh
whether the stage in England was suffering iIo'n
the same want Of trained young actors, he SAID:
Undoubtedly we do, and it is owing entireiy ~
the length of time for which run our plays anu
the decadence of the stock company system EH-
perence is the only school fer an actor and expert
ence is the precise thing young man nowadays
finds It impossible to get The evil is great ana
