on their cars every night from about
eleven o'clock up till about two in the
morning. The large crowds that visit the
resorts along the shore in Bayonne and

miserable for the conductors. On Satur-
day particularly the cars are the scene
of many rows and small riots.
As rule the picnics are not allowed
to continue after twelve o'clock, and the
large crowds leave the park in body.

dilemma as to when he should stop the
car, and it is miraculous that more peo-

Another favorite pastfme of these
toughs is. to pull the trolley off the wire.

cars sometimes TO escape the oaths and
