B~ERNsTEIN's A SUCCESS

Since the opening of Bernstein's clothing
store at No. so Newark avenue, the ener-
getic proprietor says people have stormed
his store actually hungry for stuff" One
enthusiastic friend of Mr.. Bernstein's told
him that he had kept mis- boys almost in
tatters waiting for the opening. Anyhow
the success of the new venture seems estab-
lished. On Friday there were eighteen
statesmen, the full staff, as busy as bees from
rosy morn till dewy eve selling clothes, The
force was entirely inadequate to the on
rush of customers. On Saturday there were
forty-fve statesmen hard at work until half
past eleven o'clock serving the crowds. So
great was the number chat Mr.. Bernstein
was compelled to close the doors. He is
particularly g~ratiied TO find his friends COM
ing in to see him as customers, and it seems
to him as if he had been in business for years
and had just opened after a fire.
The hustling Mr.. Bernstein has a sensation
for the people. Tomorrow the attractive,
picturesque looking Mexican gentleman,
whose presence graced the opening" will
ride on horseback through the principal
streets attired in full western accoutrements.
He will carry at his saddlebow a lariat, sug-
gestive OF roping in customers to No. 30
Newark avenue.

THE TROLLEY TO new ARK
It Was the Favorite Outing
Yesterday-Among the
YaehtSmen.

The heavy rain showers which fell on
Saturday evening and early next morning
made the roads in and around Jersey City
anything but pleasant for driving Yesterday
afternoon. True, the SUMS rays which
penetrated the cloudy sky towards noon, in
some measure dried the surface OF the paved
roads, but the avenues which horsemen love
best to ~patronize on dry days were scarcely
affected by the sun. The rain had oaked
the ground to the depth of several inches and
rendered it unfit for pleasant driving. AS a
consequence there were few people on the
road. /,
A few green ones tackled the Boulevard
but before they had driven many blocks
they turned off into the paved streets with
vehicles plentifully bespatted with mud.
MANY WENT TO NEWARK.
It's an ill-wind that blows nobody good,
and the livery stable keepers loss was the
gain of the Consolidated Traction Company.
fhe motors were crowded all day long, par
ticularlv on the new line to Newark. Hun
dreds took the trip for cuTiosity-just to ex-
perience the sensation OF whlriing across the
meadows on an electric road.
All the r~oadhouses along the route were
gaiIy decorated with bunting, and the eating
houses and saloons from the beginning OF
Bowery street, Newark, to Market s5reeU,
did a rushing business with the visitors from
Jersey City.
The road is not precisely in working order.
a more animate schedule is needed and
some regularity in speeding the cars IS neces-
sary to make the journey comfortable. On
an average the time consumed In making the
distance from the Jersey City ferry to high
street, Newark, the termination OF the ten
cent ride was about fortv-ive minutes. This,
however, Manager David Young says. will
be materially lessened within a few days.
The company proposes to run open cars dur
ing the summer, and smokers" for the men
will he attached to the ordinary closed cars.
On the Bergen Point line the company had
its heaviest traffic. The cars were filed with
visitors to ssMcDonald'sn n Barnes, and
across the Kills to the resorts on Staten
Island. To the latter place Jersey City
wheelmen made their way. So excellent
are the macadamized roads on the island
that after a rain shower riding on a wheel is
not disagreeable.
AMONG THE YAcHTsMEN.
IF the riding and driving fraternity were
idle Yesterday, yachtsmen were not; AT al
the headquarters Of hat most exhllaratlne
and healthy of sports, yachting, there were
u~nmistakable signs that the season is about
to begin.
the boats ON the beach, and not a few were
assisting to put their boats overheard
Others, clad in ~overalls and Jumpers
were hustling about with paint pots, caulk-
ing tools, scrapers and other in~dispensabl e
articles to yachting men while preparing
for opening day.
Then when night came a rush was mace
for the clubhouse, where the busy stewards
had prepared steaks Inc chops, which disap
peared SO rapidly that one might suppose
they had wings, and, in desperation, had
flown down the threats of the hungry
yachtsmeu.
