GREENVILLElTES HAPPY.
At the Prospect of rand Transit in the
Near Future.

At the Prospect of Rand Transit in TIN
Near Future.
The residents of the Greenville section
who have been clamoring for rapid
transit ever since the introduction Of the
line, were overjoyed yesterday VIII en-
they saw a gang of men at work
setting up trolley poles On Ocean
avenue and Grand street. This
is the first assurance that the Greenville-
ties have had that the trolley system
would be out into operation on the
Greenville line, and they are watching
the progress of the work with no little
interest.
When the committee from the Sixth
District Citizens Association which
called upon President Thurston a few
months ago was told that the G%reenvllle
people would have rapid transit with
in three months, the residents naturally
felt grateful. but rs weeks passed By and
no signs of rapid transit appeared they
became discouraged and gave up all hops
of ever getting the much needed electric
cars.
One prominent citizen, who does not
wish to have his name mentioned, in
speaking about the matter to a reporter
Of The JERSEY CITY NEWS yesterday
said:-
81 am glad to see that the J. G. & B..
r. r. is at last awake to the fact that
there must be a quicker way of reaching
Greeuvflle than the slow horse cars.
Hundreds of our residents, who go to
business In New York. would much
rather go to New York by way of The
electric cars than to walk several blocks
out of their way to the Central
Railroad. I am satisfied that the
officials OF the J.. G. & B. r. r.
will find that the Improvement will pay Il
handsome profit. It will not alone in
crease the value OF real estate in this
section but will also bring hundreds of
new residents here. There are lois of
vacant alots In Greenville and nothing
will improve them quicker than rapid
transit
The employees on the road will also be
happy when the line Is put in operation.
Their working days will consist of te n
hours instead OF twelve as at presen t.

vile Yacht Club. toward which the man
had run. but he was not there. Hs was
finally found hiding In a nearby barn
and placed under arrest.
He was arralgned before Justice Kim

both of West Hobokeu. and members of
the West Hoboken Bicycle Club. were

report to the police. and the facts were
not disclosed until last evening.
Qalrk and Murphy wheeled to Carls-
bad that day and returned IN the even

or a threatening rain made it dark as
they wheeled through the Whortlebe-ry
swamp. when they were confronted by
four stalwart men. on foot, W 20 each

form Of the bill represented the minimum
that The Government would accept in

The Governments demands were the

been before Parliament and the country
for nine months, and everybody under

Wheeler Failed to Win These Events at
Brooklyn Yesterday.
Harry Wheeler, the crack Orange
cyclist. was defeated ia both handicap
events at the cash prize Bicycle meet held
at Brooklyn yesterday. Nevertheless he
pocketed 5000 as his share of the $500 IN
purses. The first event was at a quarter
of a mile, best two III three heats.
Wheeler captured both heats and first
mouey in the easiest possible manner.
with P. J.. Berlo second In eacn instance.
There were twelve starters in the half
mile handicap, with Wheeler as scratch
man and Ashinger on the 65-yard mark.
the limit. II. G. Croker, with 4 handi-
cap Of seventy yards. won this event by
two yards from c. j. Appel, sixty-five
yards, with Wheeler in third place. two
yards way. Berlo and Van Stcklen,
while rounding the further turn on the
first lap. ran over the rail and into a dig
ditch. Beyond a shaking up. neither was
injured.
Wheeler won the two mile scratch
event, best two in three heats, quite
haudiIy. C. w. Dorntge was secoud in
the inal heat. with Berio third. Croker
was fourth. He showed greatly improved
form in all the events.
The most exciting race of the day was
the last on the card, a five mile handicap.
Wne6lef was ScfaGcu, Derlo at LOU yards,
Dorntge at 250, aud Albert and Asninger
at 100, The limit. After going one mile
Wheeler dropped OUT of it, as lie consid-
cred himself too heavily handicapped.
Asninger aud Albert set a pretty not
pace, but Berlo aud Dorntge travelled
even faster, and at the beginning of the
last lap were only forty yards bshind
the leaders. When the further turn had
been rounded. Ashtnger, Albert, Berlo /,
and Dorntge were punched, and Is was a
terrific struggle to the finish. Each rider
showed great gameness. aud pushed his
pedals for all he was worth. Twenty
yards from the tape it was anybody's
race, but Dorutge by a desperate spnrt
finally crossed inc line a foot in front Of
Ashinger, whose wheel was Tapped by
Berlo's. Albert was q few inches behind
the Boston man. 1t was the best fnish
seen In Brooklyn for some time. The
time. 13:16N WAS considered fast.
