and, while the increase over last year might not
have been apparent to the eye, its influence
was easily observable in the increased dis
comfort and delay which resulted Travelling
about New-York streets is not at any time an
unmixed joy, but during the last few days it
has been fraught with more vexations than
ever. The troubles of the traveller are vastly
increased by the subway improvements going
on all over the city, and not infrequently yes
1erday afternoon long lines of streetcars were
stalled for periods Of anywhere from ten min
utes to twenty minutes, while frantic policemen
ran hither and thither to straighten out the
tangle.
The most annoying delays of all were at
Twenty-third-st where Broadway crosses Fifth
ave, divided by the huge ''flatiron" building.
which is coming to be known as the cave of
the winds; at Thirty-fourth-st, where Broad
way crosses Sixth-ave, and in Broadway at
Ninth-st- which is nearly the lower boundary of
the shopping district Every car that came
downtown all through the morning and the
early afternoon bulged with shoppers, who RODE
everywhere excepting the roof, and would
have ridden there could they have climbed up
When the tide turned uptown the troubles of
the shoppers began to thcken as they mixed
with the regular uptown rush of business men,
According TO a much berated custom. the
rush began to abate little. took off large num-
bers Of cars, despite the fact that the shoppers
were coming downtown by thousands all
through the day. The consequence was that the
jam of the early morning continued all day. If
the surface road managers really want to &C
commoGate the public, there is no reason for
this sort of thing. They have plenty of cars
but as soon as fairly comfortable conditions be-
gin to prevail they take their cars off and things
are soon as bad as before. Just after breakfast
and Just before dinner are the times when great
discomfort can scarcely be avoided at present
but the patrons Of the road cannot eX-
cuse Tor the mauling and jamming they are
forced to put up with at other times.
Their complaints also apply to the elevated
road, possibly with little more emphasis. The
scenes o. crowding and rushing on the uptown
platforms of the elevated road last evening as
shoppers and business men fought for admit
taAce 10 the cars were far from pleasing. The
only wonder was that fatal accidents did not
occur at every station between Eighth and Thir-
ty-third SITS.
The Jams at the various ferry houses and
railroad stations were only less strenuous than
theSe on the surface and elevated roads of the
city Every resources Of the different companies
was called upon 70 provide sufficient cars for
the commuters and occasional shoppers who
poured into town by thousands The railroads
met with rather better success, however, than
their metropolitan rivals, and for once at least
The commuter was the lucky man.
All last evening crowds surged through the
shopping district and streets usually compare
alive with energy and animation Several of
the big department stores We're open until a late
hour, and many OF the smaller shops followed
their example.

Of the sale storage and household uses OF parlor

part of which concerning householders, showed
much consultation Of scientific tones ana many

First this part deals with where matches should

the ratio of the height OF the matchbox to that

But the comrrittee recognizes that the foregoing
instructions might be msconstrued. so 1t adds:
Matches in each household shah be kept In a

Rut by far the most important OF what the COM

Children under zen years OF age shall not be
permitted to play with or use matches or any
kind.

Probably on no day in the history of this city,
with normal hoIiday conditions prevailing. have
the transit facilities been completely over
whelmed as they were yesterday. There have
been big Christmas shopping crowds in New
York for many years, but none any larger than
Yesterdays and it seems likely that even yes
teriay's record will be surpassed by the crowds

and Christmas
Ii would be impossible to make an estimate
of the number of shoppers busy in any given
district between any given hours, but the man

declared that over one hundred thousand per-
sons visited their establishments yesterday
Certain it is that the crowds were enormous.
