DURING BRIDGE WEEK.
About S5,0O0 Passengers Carried In
 Three Days.

Hartford. Oct 12.-While officials of the trolley company decline to give out their figures for the company's bridge week business, very close es- inmates can be made from facts that have become known. For the thre- days of the celebration about ITO 900 5 cent fares above the usual daily ay- craze were taken in. ftI is believed that this number of fares, as much of them represented suburban travel. would mean about half that number of passengers, or S5,000. This travel was divided among the three days as follows: Tuesday, 36,0O0 or 37,00O: Wednesday, 32,000 or 33,000; Thurs. day, 100000. This makes total of nearly 170,000 fares collected, but as this is the sum of travellers in both directions, the actual number of dif- ferent passengers brought into town for the bridge celebration would be 10000 to 50,00o.
 These figures do not give all the business of the trolley company for the three days, as they relate only to the extra travel. The total of thaj ordinary travel and the extra travel would about double the figures given above, making about 350,000l fares collected. As eaev passenger was probably carried in both affections and many passengers paid 10 cents. the actual number of separate pas- sengers carried would be about s5.. 900.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS,

Ut Is said that Thomas F. Devine will receive the solid support of the third ward delegation at the demo- cratic convention tonight. MT De vine has been making an active can vass for the nomination and expects to win out. There are many people in Brooklyn who would like to see him nominated.
 The football team representing the Brooklyn Athletic club is hot after the state championship and in- tends to make other aspirants hustle for the rag. The eleven is practlc- Ing couple of nights each week and under the coaching of Harry Bachel- der Is fast rounding into form. The public is eager to see the team In action and Manager .Dunphy should arrange for game to be played at an early date.
 Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock a horse and carriage driven by Frank Baumgartner, the news dealer, collided with a trolley car on Bank street near the office of the American Brass Co. The horse was making for the curve at the point mentioned and the trolley got there about the same time. The shafts of the carriage were pulled from the body of the wagon, but that was the only damage done.
 -One of the Chicago papers re. gently published a story about the playing of Bill Dwyer during the past season and also ran a picture of Bill in a Des Moines uniform. If Bill should fail to make good with the White Sox next season he will return to Des Moines, where he will mana ge "a team. In all probability If he -e- turns there he will take with him a couple of other local boys. Eddie Car mody being one of them.
 Almost all the players that a few years ago were members of the St Thomas Cadet Junior football team have developed into star players and are still in the game. Joe Walsh is captain of the Villanova college team this season and playing a crack game at end; John Ryan is holding down the quarterback position for Dart mouth; Walter Legge is playing end and quarterback at Villanova; Billy Spain did not return to villanova this season, but is member of the All Waterbury team: Joe Bagley. who at one time was captain of the Ju- niors, Is now leading the All Water- bury eleven; Bill Cronan. who was an end on the Juniors, is at quarter for the All Waterburys; Tim Madden, an- other captain of the Juniors, is with the Brooklyn Athletic club eleven playing at tackle; Dan Coss, fullback on the Juniors, is occupying the same position with the B. A. c. team. Thus 1t will be seen that eight of the eleven who comprised one of the fast est junior teams in the state a few years ago are now playing with big elevens.
