v,c.n, rumors in Wall Street have pointed to new
combinations for the purpose OF giving the New'fork
"a yewEugland Railroad stronger foothod In this
s,,r in the way Of terminal facilities The reports
-. nut ont in shape which bore speculative
,.np and IN consequence cited incredulity well
&C denials OF specific assertions. There Is good
horty however for believing that the companys SUD-
ordinate terminal company persons closely Interested
have secured property under lease of ninety-nino
wears In the vicinity Of the Polo Grounds near the
termni Of the westside elevated railways and the
New-York City and Northern Railroad. The officers
Of the New England Company here kept in suspicious
secunon and Official details OF the lease OF the

England road as regards the West side connexions
would not conflict necessarily with the project that
has long been bruted Of connection by new roao
through Wescheser County to the Secondave' hhe Vi
