This is the date that set for the opening Of
the Brighton Beach extension OF the Kings County
Elevated Railway. which is 10 carry passengers
from the Bridge to Coney Island for 10 cents.
Colonel Langford the secretary and treasurer Of
the road expressed doubt last night. however. a5
to whether the road could be completed in time
for the opening to-day. He said that the heat OF
the last ten days had completely exhausted the
workmen who were engaged in laying the tracks
and no work was done yesterday this account
There is about 800 feet of track yet be laid. and
it is a question of a days work to finish it, They
may possibly get one track finished, that a
single train can be run 10 the island and back
The working force has been reduced by several
men. who have been Frustrated by the heat. Every
effort will be made. however. to push the work TO
completion to-day that the company may be
able to run trains as advertised
The first train run will carry all the officials OF
the road and number of invited guests. a gem
era invitation not extended for the reason
that the opening up of the road has been looked
forward to so long that it has become an old story
The officials expect that most of the passengers
carried the road will be New York peo-
pie. The route is the shortest one to the Island
and trains will be run every twenty minutes. On
Saturday of this week trains will be run every ten

I'VE expect to carry over our new road better
class of people than those who travel on the trolley
lines. whose fare is only i've cents" said Colonel
l.angf0rd 10 tribune reporter last night People
do not like the jam on the trolley lines. and they
are not averse to paying additional five cents
