FERRIES LOSE IMMENSE TRAFFIC.
IT is LARGEST ABOVE GRAND-sT.. AND IS
ESTIMATED AT OVER ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND PERSONS

THOUSAND PERSONS
The strike in Brooklyn had q considerable
effect on the traffic of most Of the ferries that
run 10 points where the car lines concerned
carry most OF the ferry passengers after they
have landed. The effect was most noticed on
the East River ferries above Grand-st.
The traffic lost to the Grand-st ferries TO
Broadway and Grand-st.. Brooklyn: on the
Houston-st. ferry TO Grand-st.. Brooklyn; the
East Tenth-st.. the East Twenty third-st. and
East Thirty -fourth-st. ferries must have been
in the neighborhood OF one hundred thousand
passengers.
on the Thirty fourth st. ferry the gatemen
said that the traffic about as usual There
slight falling of that might be accounted
for by the rain. This ferry got lot Of the
beach traffic that usually goes down by trolley
cars. and for this reason 1t should have had a
largely increased traffic generally.
Large decreases In traffic reported in the
Tenth-st.. Houston-st. and Grand-st. ferries. In
these alone the falling off was estimated one
way TO be upward Of thirty thousand There
decrease in the traffic OF the East Tenth
st ferry. At the East Houston-st ferry two
men are usually placed at the ticket boxes on
Sunday to handle the crowds that go over to
Brooklyn to take trolleys TO the big ceme-
teries and 10 Coney Island. Last Sunday an
extra boat alternated trips with the regular
boat after 10 O'Clock at night to carry the
people across. Yesterday one man took things
easy with the passengers who went over. and
the regular boat was all that needed last
night. From noon till 10 O'Clock last night the
falling OF In the passengers was thought 10 be
about four thousand. The traffic from Brooklyn
to New-York was correspondingiy light
At the Grand-st ferries there were corre-
spending reports. 1t was estimated that more
than twenty thousand persons less than usuai
crossed from New-York to Brooklyn.
The strike had a corresponding effect on the
hOrsecar traffic on the East Side. II was said
by men about the ferry and on the horsecArs
that the Sunday schedule was not being run
up 10 only about two-thrds OF the cars being
out that are usually required on Sunday
