of the things most noticeable to the
ticket men this year is the fact that
more people are coming to the fair by
railrold than ever before. In spite
of the cold weather Tuesday the books
showed about $1,000 more in receipts
than at the same time last year. The
Midway proved to be about the only
attraction after the races, until the
fireworks at o'clock. The vaudeville
was omitted.
The events of Wednesday were begun
by a band concert in front of the eX-
hibition hall by the st. Cecilia Boys
Band. The fakirs lost their crowds as
soon as the boys began to play and
they themselves became still during
the selections. The Boys Band is GER
tainly a monument to the patience and
perseverance of the priest who has
them in charge. They will be at the
fair several days.

FIGHTS FOR EQUAL RATE
Ne7c Fall RiUer Line Presents Case
against Railroads.

The Interstate Commerce Commission held
hearing IN the United States Circuit Court yester-
day. on the complaint of discrimination brought by
the Enterprise Transportation Company. operating
the Fall River line, against the various lines
running out Of NewYork. The specific complaint
is that the defendant railroad companies, the New
York, New-Haven & Hartford, the Pennsylvania,
the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western the Erie
the LehIgh Valley, the Baltimore & Ohio, and the
New-Jersey Central trunk lines running out Of
New-York have refused to give the complainant
company the same rates that accorded the
New-England Navigation Company, which operates
the old Fall River Line At the end Of the hearing
Commissioner Prcuty said that nothing had been
adduced to show any violation Of the law by the
trunk lines.
When the hearing opened. f. G. Buckland rep
resenting the New England Transportation Com
pany, registered objection Commissioner
Prouty sitting the hearing, on the ground that
he was biassed in the matter. The Representatives
Of the various railroads said that they did not
want TO be considered joining In the objection
and the hearing proceeded.
President Whitcomb OF the Enterprise company
outlined briefly the complaint. saying that the
matter hinged on whether or not the complaining
company delivering goods in New-York from New
England points for transportation could not have
such freight carried on the trunk lines at the
same rate the New-England Transportation
Company. He said that the trunk lines were COM
mon carriers and should not discriminate, whereas
they are now charging the complainant company
from 10 Is cents higher than the rates given
the New-England Transportation Company.
F. L. Porneroy, of the New-York Central, said
that the Fall River line OF the New-England Navi-
cation Company, the only line with which
they had any connection, and that only on certain
classes of freight He said that freight over this
line was laid down at their North River piers and
loaded directly He said that If the com
pany granted this application they would have TO
grant others.
George D. Dixon. traffic manager Of the Pennsyl-
vania, said that company had declined TO enter
into any agreement with the complaining COM
pany because they could not see where they were
going to get any advantage. There were physical
objections as we'll he said and the business Of the
Fail River line embarrassed them az their Jersey
City terminal .
T. n Jarvis, of the Lehigh Valley. gave almost
the same explanation did the representativ ives
of the other railroads President Whitcomb made
a final appeal, and the commissioner took the COM
