Mr. Richardson yesterday followed the plan
which he had decided upon the previous night. end
ran eight cars over the Fifth-ave route from
Greenwood to the Bridge. Only two policemen,
one on either platform, guarded each car. The
number of men on duty along the streets was
greatly reduced also. This force was entirely
sufficient until the riot reported above occurred
No demonstration OF any kind was made up 70
that time. At $3.50 a. m. car was drawn out
Of the Atlantie-ave. stables and went to the sta
ton at Fifth-ave. and 1wenty-third-st IL was
filed with men who afterward manned cars. A
dozen policemen guarded 1t, but their presence
was unnecessary,
At 7'oclock II started on the first trip to the
Bridge. Twelve minutes later second was pulled
out Of the stables. and IN an hour and half light
cars were running regularly. though at long in
tervals During the day forty-nve trips were
made. and no trouble was encountered A fairly
good business was done, on eSmc OF the trips as
many as forty passengers being carried. At 8 80
the last car reached the stables and was housed
No cars will be run to-day, as Mr.. Richardson
does not care TO do anything that might disturb
the peace and quiet OF Sunday. Tomorrow how
ever, he expects TO run at least sixteen cars The
usual number OF cars run on this branch Of the

The Challenge Accepted.

Editor of Keaaebec Journd:
see in your Issue of last Wednesday
challenge from Albert K Burrill for 800 to
trot his colt III onest Ben" against nv colt,
on Capital Park, any fair dag in June after
the 10th. If Mr.. Burril's conduct in this
m alter was as well known to all the rea iers
of the journal rs to his neighbors and mine
would not go to the trouble of a reply. His
whole challenge is = pirce of b0mblst and
entirely at variance with his course, from
Feb p, the date of our race on the ice, to
the present. At that time offered to double
the wager in another race, or make it more
than double, in fact. offered to accommodate
him in any way. But bis colt was not we'll
or he was not, forget which. Not a word
has been forthcoming from him IN relation
to another race until recel ny.
Nv business is on the road every
summer. Ny plans are made. and have
partner in business depending on my action,
to start about the first of May. to be absent
three months. am going to drive this very
colt, and so decided to do over a month ago
have the best of reasons for believing that
Mr. Burrill knows and has known for some
time, that am to be away and take this colt
with me. His challenge is male a. this I'M
possible time TO me with full Knowledge of
the impossibiity. | have every reason to
believe from Mr.. Burrili's course, thus far,
that if it was possible to accept his challenge,
some convenient excuse would be minufac-
tured by the 10Th of June to avoid it, When
am able to attend to Mr.. Burrilrs case, if
he is spelling for test between the colts,
will accommodate him, and when the time
arrives as expect it will. hope his colt
will be well p"
