GUS rivalry now going on between some of
the brooklyn stores in the business of de-

principal retail establishments have been
taking careful observation in regard to
what each other were doing in the way of

each vehicle is manned by driver and one
or two helpers arrayed in liveries not sur

men seen in Central Park. Indeed. the
existing rivalry has spurred the proprietors
to point where Fifth avenue turnout

THE DELsARTE CRAZE.
The prominence given to the fact that
Mrs. Astor was an enthusiastic student of
