4 TRANSIT NEED N BR0oKLYy.

Among the changes. for better or for worse
which the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company IS
making in the operation of its lines there should
certainly be one In behalf Of the high school
girls Of the large and populous region known az
the Park Slope-the region lying between Pros
pect Park and the GOwanus Canal and between
Fatbush-ave. and Greenwood. The general
transit facilities Of that region are probably the
least satisfactory IN the whole borough. But
poor as they are for the shopper and the bust
ness man. they are far worse for the army Of
school girls Of advanced classes-so bad. indeed
as actually to deprive many of the advantages
of school attendance.
There are. Of course primary and grammar
schools within easy reach Of all in that re-
gion. But the only high schools in the borough
are at considerable distances one is at the
corner Of Nostrand-ave and Halscy-st In the
Bedford district and the other is Erasmus Hall,
in Flathush. The former is already crowded
with pupils from The central and eastern wards
of the borough, from which II is readily accessi-
bic and 10 which It naturally pertains. For
children from the Park Slope TO attend It would
involve a long and circutous trip, with several
changes Of cars and transition from their own
part Of the borough 10 distant and strange
part. The Flathush school is the one which they
should attend. But the present transit arrange
mentS make it unreasonably expensive and awk-
ward for most Of them TO do so.
The few who live close to Flatbush-ave. can
take the cars on that thoroughfare directly 10
the school But the many who are dependent
upon the Fifth-avc.. Seventh-ave. and Ninth-ave.
cars enjoy no such advantage. They must ride
Oh those lines 10 Flatbush-aye and there get
ont and take other cars and pay their fares over
again That. a. We have said. is announcement
and expensive. II means ~ cents day for car
fares. and that means 81 week. and that
means $50 a year. That IS a grievous tax TO ALL
and 10 many it is actually prohibitive. Nor can
we see the slightest justification Of 1t. An eX-
tensive system Of free transfers already exists
This week II Is to he still further extended Why
should not transfers be granted between the
Ffth-ave., Seventh ave. and Nlnth.ave lines
and the Flatbush-ave. line? They are all under
one ownership and one management Such an
arrangement would at a stroke reduce by one
half the cost Of getting to and from school. and

AN oMINoUS DAY on THE GRIDIRON.

AN OMINOUS DAY on THE GRIDIRON
IT is rather early In the season for "a day Of
orsets Of despair" on the football field, for the
games esteemed great" are yet to come and
managers who will be largely responsible for re-
suits two or three weeks hence are still In
mood to apply a check rather than spur to
the zeal Of their teams. But If II was not day
Of the fierces sort of onsets II was day Of sur
prlsing upsets After an absence Of several
years from New-York Yale came down TO get
some useful practice ont of Columbia and was
beaten by a score of 3 to O. simultaneously Cor
nell, which has been in mourning for the game
lost TO Chicago two weeks ago. took Princeton
into camp 10 just the same tune. while Pennsyl-
vania played the stiffest kind of football with
the Windy City team, the game finally ending in
a tie. TO 3: and the Indians who had won great
glory by defeating the redoubtable Quakers

1t was the first really significant day of the
football season, though il would be rather rash

has been thought that the Yale team was com

pect of repeating the memorable experience or

the last fortnight and overwhelmed Princeton IN
the most impressive manner But il must be
acknowledged that Yale looks less promising

lumbia has put in the field this year; while
Princeton, always and justly deemed dangerous
TIL the last whistle blows. has at least as much
reason for surprise and chagrin in her inability
to score against Cornell But Harvard -ah there
Is something that has the appearance OF staoll-
ity and pre-eminence. The Indians are no car
pet knights There Is a mixture of grimness
and facility in their operations which Is de-
scribed as hereditary. and in any case is ex-
tremely effective except against antagonists OF
the highest quality. Since Harvard has sue
ceeded in scoring % points in game which the
Indians ardently longed to win, it cannot be de-
MED that the young men Of Cambridge at the
present moment are just about where they hope
20 be NJ the end Of the season.

IT'S diminutlon Of the revenues OF the company

10 think that II would actually increase those
