NEW TROLLEY SYSTEM WORKING.
CARS IN OPERATION IN MADISON AND
FOURTH AvES.-CONSIDERED TO BE
A GREAT IMPROVEMENT

twelve of the electric cars OF the Metro
po,tan Street Railway Company placed In
service yesterday between Astor Place and Forty
second-st.. on that part Of the Fourth-ave. and
Madison-ave line which has been completed. The
operation of these cars marked the opening Of the
company's new underground trolley system, with
which not only the Madison-ave road but Second
and Eighth ayes. and several crosstown routes are
shortly to be equipped. AT present the energies or
the company being devoted 10 finishing the
Mad,son.ave. line Men are working night and day
in Fastening the work. and 1t is expected that In
less than a month the whole OF the road. from the
postof,ce TO Harlem. will be available for transit
purposes.
For nearly twelve hours yesterday the new cars
piled between Aston Place and the Grand Central
Station and BY those who travelled In them the
system was pronounced an unqualified success and
a decided Improvement upon the means OF transport
hitherto employed south Of Lenox-ave. People who
were accustomed to seeing Madison and Fourth
ayes served by the old-time tardy horsecars
watched with interest the newly introduced cars as
they sped by swiftly and smoothly. They were
quick also to avail themselves OF the improved fac
ties and upon every trip many passengers had 10

The only criticism heard yesterday upon the IN

were operated at too fast pace particularly In so
