STREET CAR ROWD|ES.
Gang Spoils the Enjoyment
of Pleasure Seekers
Boulevard Cutters.

The Greenville and Bayonne trolley
cars were crowded all day yesterday with
people going to and from the various
pleasure resorts along the Newark and
New York Bay shores. The cars were
run on two minutes headway. with the
result that none of the cars were over
crowded.
The gangs of tough young men were
very much in evidence. and in many IN
stances managed to spoil the pleasure of
the trip for the quieter passengers, with
hideous noises and uncouth remarks. The
conductors seem unable to cope with this
element and often have difficulty in coll
lecting fares from the rowdies. One OF
these gangs, composed of about ten boys,
anywhere from sixteen to twenty years
old. boarded a car in Bayonne and at
once began whistling, yelling and shout
ing insulting remarks at girls and women
on the sidewalks. The conductor request
ed them to cease, and received abuse for
his palms. At the junction of Pacific ave-
nue. and Grand street they got off,
number climbing over the bar on the en-
closed side of the car. AS the car started
one of the crowd pulled the trolley off.
Others threw dirt and tin cans at the
conductor, badly frightening number OF
women passengers.
The Bergen section of the Boulevard.
which appears to be the best kept at
present, was the scene of mucn gaiety
yesterday. Although the road was very
dusty, riders as well as pedestrians were
out in force. Numerous clubs from out
of town went back and forth over the big
road.
The Greenville section of the Boulevard
presented an animated appearance yes
terday The bicycle fiends were out in
large numbers, and as parties passed in
rapid succession one could hear scraps of
conversation touching on century. runs,
gears, pedals, cyclometers and bad roads.
These subjects apparently form the basis
of all conversation INDUCED in by the
cyclist.
The roadway at Clendenny avenue is
dangerous. Huge piles of paving blocks
have carelessly been left on the south
side of the road. just beneath an arc light.
Riders have difficulty in discovering it be-
cause of the darkness. A wheelbarrow
laden with red bricks stood on the road
all day yesterday and last night.
The Greenville section of the road is as
bad as ever What with numerous ridges,
trenches, piles of sand, and holes, the lot
of the unfortunate night rider is an un-
happy one. At the junction of Gator
avenue and the Boulevard there is hole
about fifteen feet in circumference, with
a depression of two or three inches,
caused by the water rushing down Gator
avenue hill on rainy days. This spot is
dangerous for cyclists.

disorderly manner in front of the Taber-
nacle, at the corner Of Henderson and
York streets The conduct of the pair was
disgraceful.

membep anything Of the occurrence yes

A big, fat German walked into a
barber shop not far from Broadway
and Grand street one day last week,
followed by black, curly haired dog,
weighing about thirty-fve pounds.
There was only one Customer in the
shop.
"See tina. dog?" said the proprietor
TO the customer, who was about to
have his hair cut.
The customer rose and looked at
the brute. who sat wagging his tail be-
side the German, who was getting his
boots blacked He noticed au ex-
pectaut look in The dogs face.
Looks pretty sensible" he said.
Come here. S-s-s-t."
The dog ran over to him and sat
back or his launches, as most dogs
do when expecting bite to eat.
'IIe wants his dinner." said the
barb-r with a grin.
I've nothing for him. replied the
victim.
80, yes You have" went on the
barber. You've got this fine mop on
top OF your head That's what the
dogs after. He eats hair right along. 80
obi snorted the customer. you're
crazy. Don't gimme that
''But it's true, insisted the man OF
the razor. Gust watch him while /
take some of it of. "
Thereupon the customer sat bsc;:
in the chair and the barber began
cutting his hair. The dog sat below
silently watching the operation. The
locks fell slowly, most of them being
caught in the cloth around the mans
neck. and the dog, growing weary,
walked back to his master When the
haircut was finished the barber shook
all the clippings onto the floor and
then gathered them up into ball.
Here pup" he said, as he tossed
the ball to the dog, who seized upon
it and bolted it the way he might
have swallowed piece of meat.
Didn't l ell you?" triumphantly
asked the barber

whose hair had disappeared down the
dogs throat, and lie went out.
