Two of Pay s-you- enter De-
livered to Tri- City Rail
way Company.
SEAT BUT AZ PASSENGERS
Wider Aisles Are Provided-Heated
With acknowledgements
in Enclosure.

Yesterday afternoon a shipment of
two Of the pay-asyou-enter cars was
received at the East River street Dav-
export, barn of the Tri-City Railway
company. One of the cars was I'M
loaded this morning and was brought
over to the street car barn at Thirty
fifth street and Fifth avenue, this city.
and placed in the shop there to re-
ceive some finishing touches. The
other is being unloaded today and will
possibly be brought over this evening
or tomorrow morning. The cars,
which are the output of the Cincinnati
Car Builder company of Cincinnati, are
As feet in length, or little more than
four feet longer than the old 300
cars which have been in service for
some time. The platforms are six feet
in length, two feet longer than the old
cars. The inside measurement is six
inches more than that of the old cars.
But AZ people can be seated, whereas
A can be seated in the others. The
cars will be heated with electricity,
and instead of the old battery bell used
by the passenger to notify the motor
man when to stop, there will be bells
of the push-button type connected di-
rectly with the power through the troll
ley pole. No more of ringing of bells
when the cars are at halt for want
of power The 400" cars, the number
of the pay-as-you-enters, are of the
same color as the Fourth avenue cars.
The inside woodwork is of quarter
sawed oak The aisles are 20 inches
in width, whereas those of the old cars
are but Is inches in width.
Two Entrances at Each End.
The entrance to the cars, of course, is
entirely different from that of the 9TH
er cars. In fact there are two entranc-
es at each end. One of these will be
opened when a passenger wishes to
board the car. The conductor will be
in a small enclosure and will be able
to take the fares as the passenger
steps on the car. The entrance door
consists of a combination of three
panels which fold as the door is open
ed. The door on the opposite side is
opened and closed by means of lever
There are two entrances upon either
side leading from the platform into
the seating room of the car. This will
aid when there is a large number of
people entering and leaving the car.
The entrances and exits are plainly
marked so that there will be no diff
Guilty in determining which door to
enter or to leave. The motormen and
will both be shut off from
the passengers with small rail en-
closures.
Persons wishing to board the car
will be notified that they must pay as
hey enter by sign painted in red let
ters on either end of the car.

ADJUSTMENTS

Thcntcr-Fritzi Scheff last night had
osie OF the old-time glorious welcomes
that any star OF her popularity may re-
" on receiving. when she comes TO us
on an evening set apart by society Tor
entertainment and carousal- A big Sec
ton Of New Years eve audience Is
always ''out for the night" and after
the theater will be found at restaurants
or private residences ushcring the old
year out and the new one in. The thea
ter starts the merriment. and audiences
are always In hilarious mood to well
come the show. Last night was no ex-
ceptioD, and everything went with IA
vor. FRITZ Scheff herself. who remains
the essence OF all that is trim, taut,
naity and chic. bewildered as usual by
her gowns, her dainty style of action,
and her general grace. Her voice. light
and bird-lilee, gives the impression OF
being nursed very carefully and never
coming out as fully as 1t might; neither
is her trilling entirely Agreeable, but
she was so charming in all other re-
spccts. that the audience did not seem
to hold that against her.
As for her now opera, THE Prima
Donna" It cannot be compared in
sparkle or interest with the works In
which she has before appeared The
story Is dull. and except for the clever
WOTk MI. f1tt2ZdTur us tic Olo ihu-
sician. there Is no one in the cast who
specially distinguished herself or him
self He was excellent. The fault
however. was mostly with the author
of the piece. for he gives no opportuni-
ties whatever to his lesser people, even
the soldier lover. who plays opposite to
the prima donna, having no chances.
The chorus wns the best feature
OF the support, and Il did some charm
ing work Tho staging was beautiful.
and the second act a dream of lowell
ness. Much OF the orchestration Is in
Victor Herberts best vein, and he gives
his favorite instrument, the cello. some
fine chances. An octet, which did some
charming work without accompani-
ment, ought to be mentioned.
THE Prima Donna" runs this after
noon and evening, and the house VIII
no doubt be sold out In nearly every
part, as It was last night.
