With the characteristic eaGerness OF the east
side to seize upon everything out Of the ordi-
nary as an occasion OF celebration, that popu-
lous region is making q sort Of free show Of
the underground trolley strike. All day yester-
day the Bowery was crowded. and last night II
seemed as II everym man east tot that thoroughtnre
had turned out and brought his family with
him. The curbs were lined with family picnic
parties. who snt there and ate candy and
watched the cars go by with as keenly appre-
ciative enjoyment as II they had never In their
lives seen such a pageant before.
1t was very orderly crowd. but when dark

impressed with its numbers that he sent word
to Inspector Brooks. who detailed Capt. Hogan
OF the Eldridge street station with squad OF
his men to the east side OF the Bowery. and
Capt. Stevenson Of the Macdougal street sta
ton to the west side. and Broome and
Centre streets. When tho crowd thickened or
became at all noisy the police pushed in and
broke it up. The only spot where any resist
ance was encountered was at Houston street
and the Bowery, and that was tho resistance
OF inertia mainly. as the crowd.was so thick
that it moved and broke only under great
pressure.

not pterfered with until about O'Clock BY
that time Capt. Stephen Brown OF tho West
1Qith street police station had fifty or more

MoBs RETIRE FOR THE NIGHT.
About l l 30 o'clock the mobs on upper Sec;
ond avenue had fought themselves out and
the streets became less and less. and at mid:
night there were only isolated cases OF
trouble. The police. believing TINT the worst
was over for the night. separated into watches.
and part of them retired from active
duty and after eating s9methinf went away
running at n headwayo OF twenty-five minutes.
A number Of them had been taken of. so that
after midnight only ak cars were running.
These got through without any difficulty.
The strikers meeting lasted until midnight
and Parsons repeated his Sixth and Eighth ave-
nun addresses 10 them. There was but little
enthusinsm. hut resolutions were adopted in
which tho men pledged themselves to stand
firm until they won. Committees were also
appointed to go to the other branches OF the
Metropolitan system and try and induce the
men TO strike, or. at least. to contribute money
to aid the strike.
BY order from Police Headquarters. four
cots were placed on each OF the six cars OF the
second avenue inc that were run all night,
Two cots were put at each end OF the car. and the
four o'icemen who were detailed to guard the
cars slept during the night, This was nroba-
bly, tho first time that Police Headquarters
officially made arrangements for policemen to
