TEN CENTS FARE TO CONEY ISLAND.
THIS WILL BE THE RATE on SUNDAYS AND
HOLIDAYS.

The Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad Com
pany, through John L. Helms. president. announced
yesterday that on and after May II Will charge a
1O-cent fare to Coney Island Sundays and holt
days Thus IT follows the lead taken last summer
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in aban-
doning the carrying of passengers 10 that resort
for five cents.
Mr.. Helms gives the for the step as fol-
lows: Because the travel is heavy on Sundays
and holidays to prevent any person IN Brooklyn
from boarding the cars account Of the excessive
crowds that board the either terminus.
We have had frequent complaints Of our regular
patrons not being able TO ride even for few
blocks
Since the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company be-
gan TO charge 10 cents to Coney Island, the lines
OF the Coney Island and Brooklyn Company have
been overcrowded. and the company felt itself
forced TO take some action 10 protect its regular
customers. The extra five cents will be collected
on both the Smith-st and Frankn-aVe. lines be-
yond the Park Circle. The only way a person can
get 10 Coney Island for five cents on Sundays and
holidays after Sunday will be over the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit lines from the Thirty
