lives of people compelled to use that
magnificent and dsgraeeful highway
they might at least spend few dol

OF the victims. 50 that they might

merchant who lives Ia Brooklyn. He
had Just been hustled over the bridge

bad enough to make people take daily

In rainy weather. or during such
thaws as we have had several times
lately, the roof over the bridge entrance,
which, of course. is beneath the railroad

the brick and iron-work arches from
the tracks where engines stand and dis

oiled and cleaned, and in the other
drops practically direct from the tracks.
II Is almost as wet under the arches
at the New York entrance as out In
the open street in the rain. while the
crowds and the distractions at the ticket
Offices and boxes make the use of an
umbrella impossible. The dripping Of
dirty water continues long after the
ft hay -
arches at the New York entrances are Of
brick and concrete. and all that sort Of
thing. but the water percoiates through
abundantly, and during the cold snap
the roof was hung with big icicles. The
dripping OF dirty water at the Brooklyn
end is more diffuse, and the whole area,
from the further side Of Sands street
TO beyond the ticket Offices. is dangerous
to wearing apparel. My wife has had
several expensive plumes and valuable
trimmings Of all sorts ruined by the
dripping Of rusty. dirty water on her
bonnet while passing under the bridge
entrances, and she says that many or
her friends have had similar ext eriences;

"ZoZO- at the Theatre.

"Zozo, the Magic Queen" was not bril-
liantly presented at the Richmond The
atre last evening, though there was a
large audience present. The beauty once
possessed by the play has departed and
the sparkle of the comedian is 10 longer
an accompaniment of the spectacle. The
scenery is Old and there is an absence
of mechanical effects. which add so much
to the attractions of the play. The come
dams made remarks that some people
laughed over, and the hero's poses were
perhaps admired by others. The girls are
far from being the prettiest ever seen
here. and the costuming is cheap, and
wholly out of place in production which
depends so nuch upon pretty costumes.
Willis Campbell, as Lorenzo, did his
role well; the queen was fairly good. but
the other characters are poorly sustain
ed. The play will be repeated tonight.
There will be a matinee tomorrow, and
