It appears that in some way a good

there is little Likelihood that the sub

Ii is. in fact. predicted by experts
rhat the subway expresses viii not

or four minutes ahead Of the elevated

concerned
This is going TO give rise to a gen.

course this will not be true. except
with regard TO the West Side For

waiting ON the subway.


Harlemi1es and those who dwell yet
further north are beginning TO count
the weeks now between the present and
Sept Is, when il Is promised that the
subway shall be opened 10 Il affc.
A large number Of those a no viii be

" doubtful though. about It's being
ready on the date named. They re-
member that at this time last year we
we're promised subway trains by last
Christmas; and they remember that we
all believed il, too. AS q rule, the now
doubtful ones DO not kick AT the long
delay that has taken place, for they
understand how great the difficulties
have been, but they have settled down
luic 3 sort Of cynical lack ri expecting
anything from The subway until II
actCz!lv comes.
Certainly. there is nothing very re-
ass uTing about the looks nf the big
subway power house at the foot Of West
Fdety-ntnth street, on the SSorfh river

confusion Great pieces of steam and
electric machinery. worth enormous

The beginning Of the fall.
It must BE admitted. though. that
wonders ara being worked there, and
that the accomplishments IF the past
few weeks are much greater than any
one expected.
Persons who ought TO know some
thing about il say II is at least possible
that the work may be done IN time,
barring strikes; but the possibility OF
strikes is the one great bugbear which
all the subway folk. from august Bel
mont down TO the smallest sub-con-
tractor, fear the most. Had Il not been
