New Haven Road Handler 1874 on
Day of ale-Princeton Game.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. I5.-The re-
turns of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company of ex-
ira traffic due to the last Yale-Prince-
ton game in this city show that it car
ried 37,784 passengers one way, as
compared with 32.2905 passengers to
and from the Yale-Princeton game two
years ago.
The INCREASE of 5.4ss passengers is
attributed to the diminished automo-
bile travel owing to the rain and the
muddy roads. AS compared with 1909
the revenue from the football traffic
increased from $45,058 to s4s,317. The
returns show that the New York pas
sengers increased from 1854 to Is, $40,

expectation of buying them back at
