For Them.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The greatest
day in Brooklyn's history began when
the first real passenger train left Bowl
ing Green via the new tunnel and,
coasting away down under the East
river, went humming up to borough
hall, Brooklyn, in precisely four min
utes.
Some 5000 happy Brooklynites were
on hand to jam the train and produce
the proper effect of happiness. But
the genuine official joy was not turned
loose until noon, when there were an Of
fetal train, a programme, much speech
flying and enough footing of whistles
and banging of bells to usher In a
dozen new years,
Inspectors of the b. r. T. estimated
that the tunnel reduced the crush on
the bridge by 80 per cent. The tunnel
trains carried an average of 10000 peO-
ple an hour. and nearly all the people
who boarded these trains had seats.
The capacity of the bridge Is about co.
900 persons an hour, but 10000 have at
tempted to cross every hour, which
causes the crush.
The B. r. T. officials estimate that Of
the 10000 persons who cross on the
bridge every morning fully 50,0oe
came across by the tunnel and that this
left the bridge with traffic that could
be comfortably handled.
