ALONG THE HARBOR FRONT.
Those having to make use OF the
Point street bridge going TO and from
work are much annoyed generally at
noon time TO find the draw open when
they are hurrying TO and from work.

steamer to the bridge just In time TO

NO DISCRIMINATION INTENDED.
Superintendent Winsor OF the Provi-
dence. Newport and Fall River Steam
boat company is the authority for the
statement that no discrimination what
ever is intended by the company
against the Vanity Fair people 1t Is
simply impossible with the boats at
their command TO change the schedule
so as TO admit OF stops at Vanity Fair.
The company. declared the superin-
tendent. has only the best OF feeling
and wishes for the promoters of
Vanity Fair. and President Wharf is
fine fellow and discrimination is the
last thing to be thought of in this
connection.
President Wharf on the other hand.
claims that the older pleasure resorts
have brought pressure to bear upon the
steamboat company TO cut Vanity Fair
out OF the stopping places, and claims
that his landing place while not In d.
rect line with the other stopping places
would not delay the steamers to such an
extent as 10 cause any monetary loss; n
fact they would be money In. II Vanity
Fair was placed upon the schedule Pres
ident Wharff's statement looks reasonable
inasmuch that there need he but a small
Ter wait at each end OF the route by the
steamers Every other boat could
touch at Vanity Fair and cut out some
intermediate stop between the city and
Rocky Point. little consideration OF the
time table and an effort made TO serve
the interest OF the patrons OF Vanity
Fair would please the public and the pro-
moters OF Vanity Fair and save any ne
cessity OF an opposition boat
