The transfer agreement between the Third Ave-
nue. and Manhattan railroad companies went into
effect" yesterday morning The new system met
an Immediate success. The downtown trains In the
early morning carried hundreds OF passengers from
the upper reaches OF the city who exchanged
transfer slips bought from the conductors OF the
surface lines for the regular tickets on the elevated
road The arrangements caused little con-
fusion. This due mainly to the fact that maps
were exposed at all the elevated stations showing
the points covered by the traffic agreement "hne
signs were conspicuously displayed directing pas
sengers as to the procedure to be followed IN puy-
ing and giving up their tickets.
These transfers are good between all lines on the
elevated roads and the Third Avenue surface main
line on IL. Forty second-st. and St Nicholas-aVe

Union Railway lines. Passengers transferring 70

OBJECTS TO THE MINsTRELs.
Rev. =. N. Chase Indignant Over
Holding a Show in a Church

Red Hook, n. Y, Aug. 15.-There is
trouble in the mind of the Rev. P. n.
Chase, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in this little village, in the Hudson
River Valley, because of a minstrel show
TO be given on Wednesday and Thursday
nights by some of the young men of town.
The show, according TO the young men,
is to be a harmless affair, with jokes OF
a local flavor, singing, dancing, and cake
walk, but the Rev. Mr.. Chase has declared
that il will not tend to elevate the morals
Of the community.
Those in sympathy with him, and they
appear TO be few, are also greatly shocked
because the show is to be given in the
chapel Of ST. Paul's Lutheran Church,
where prayer meetings and Sunday school
are regularly held.
Nj. Chase was so indignant when he
heard of the minstrel show, which is to
be given for the benefit of the local fire
company, with several of his own church
members in the cast, that he planned, II
is said, to give a good oldfashioned Meth
odist ice cream festival in opposition on
Wednesday and Thursday nights.
His plan, when unfolded, met with an
unenthusiastic reception, ii is said. Those
who had al times in the past taken delight
in serving ice cream at ten cents plate
intended TO enjoy the minstrel show.
There was no horror in a cakewaik, even
If young men were to wear skirts and per-
haps indulge in a little high kicking, as
they looked at it. Several even declared
that Mr.. Chase himself would enjoy the
fun. though 1t is generally believed that
a sly dig OF two may be made at him il
some OF the joking.
DR.. Harvey Losee, William E. Trayer,
and other wits OF the village have been
busy preparing new jokes and adapting old
ones TO apply to the young men and
women in town, and when the blackfaced
minstrels are seated together on the plat
form, where thousands of prayers have
been offered, all will be at their tongues
end.
Rehearsals have all been held behind
closed doors, and no one, outside of the
amateur minstrel band, knows where the
lightning is 10 strike. Bashful youths
who have spent their savings for tickets
for themselves and their best girls are on
the anxious seat. and viii be until the
shows are over.
Even in Rock City and the diminutive
hamlets Of Turkey Hill and Pinks Corners
home printed posters have carried the
news OF the minstrel show TO be given by
the "grandest aggregation of local stars
and the Lutheran chapel will be crowded
TO the doors at both performances. no
doubt.
There viii be no ice cream festival on
