Z = ANDLING the crowds that saw the Ysls-
RE Harvard football match at New Haven
yesterday was the biggest passenger
traffic movement in the history OF the
New Haven Railroad. Thirty-fve thousand people
travelled 90 and from New Haven by rail. The
oEcia.s Of the road worked out weeks in advance
system intended 20 arrange for the handling Of
these passengers with dispatch and smoothness,
and without interfering with the regular service
Of the line.
The plans included the service from New York
o. twenty-five special trains, the first leaving at
$40 @. n; fifteen specials from Boston and other
points and all regular trains to and from New
Haven were provided with extra equipment to
hs.r full capacity.
To facilitate the handling of oil these trains at
New Haven several unusual steps taken this
rear Ordinarily much switching is done at the
home town Of former President Taft in the way
Of putting and taking of dining cars and
coaches on regular trains. Yesterday no switch
lg Of this kind was done there, the cars that in
uher years. before the Yale bowl changed the
geography Of Connecticut, were dropped at New
haven being carried TO Hartford, Bridgeport
Stanford or New London.
