NEW YORK, April 1.-The trans portation problem in this city. with its millions of inhabitants and hun dreds of thousands of transients pre- sents difficulties the magnitude of which is frequently underestimated. Inhabitants of smaller cities ind it rather difficult to realize the enor mity of the passenger traffic on the subways and other lines in this city. One of the bulletins issued the other day by the Interborough company gives some interesting figures which illustrate clearly some of the difficul ties with which the company has to contend in the effort of furnishing adequate transportation facilities to the citys restlessly moving crowds. The figures give statistics converting the number Of passengers who, at diff ferent times. pass through the Times Square station Of the subway, either coming from or going to their homes.
 The Times Square station is locat ed in the heart of the theatre dis trict and is therefore the one mostly patronized by the theatre crowds. Careful observations extending over many weeks showed that during the winter season 12,500 persons passed through that station on an average every afternoon in time for the mat inees and 13,5O0 for the evening per formances. That makes a total Of about 26,OO0 persons a day who use the subway and pass through the Times Square station to reach the various theatres. The fact that this large crowd has to be handled prac tically during two hours, one hour before matinee time and one hour before evening performances begin, increases the difficulty of the task. Of curse, the same crowds have to be handled again after the close of the performance. but although the rush immediately after the close of the show is perhaps as great or even greater than before the show begins, it subsidies much sooner, while the return movement of the crowds ex tends over considerably more than one hour. ks'
 Mariner Has Surprise.
 The Marine Observer at Sandy Hook rubbed his eyes in surprise the other morning, when he saw the French park Quevilly. with her sails furled. coming majestically through Ambrose channel. which is never used by sailing vessels. What made the mystery even greater was the fact that the sailing vessel was not lowed by d steam tug. The bark dropped anchor off Staten Island, when it was learned that she was equipped with a 600 horse power gaso line engine, which enabled her to make her anchorage under it's own power. The company which owns | the bark intends to install gaso line engines on all of it's sailing yes sells, as it was found to be of great help during calm weather and con siderably shortened the length of the trip.
 Long Island already has a town named Babylon and one named Orient, and if the plan conceived by Miiitados N. Cossenas. a wealthy Greek resident of Manhattan, is real ized, it will soon have town called Patria, which is the Greek for Father land. It is the plan of MT. Cossenas to found, not far from Babylon, town or city inhabited exclusively by Greeks. There are more than 30,OOO Greeks in New York and if only one half of that number should buy lots in the new town and settle there, Patria would become quite a large community. If the plan succeeds Mir. Cossenas will give thirty two lots for the sites of an orthodox Greek church and a Greek university and s25. 900 in cash toward the cost oi the buildings.
