happen to know that the cause ~ the
greater part Of the hour aud a half that
the public was kept waiting was entirely
unnecessary ! do not hesitate 10 send YOU
these few words OF protest.
As soon as the head divisions OF the
parade turned into Fifty-ninth street they
found i necessary to, break ranks, and
when Fifth avenue was reached the Old
formations had to be remade, thus cRus-
ing more delay. All loss OF time could
have been avoided II the company oper-
atlug the Fifty-nlnth street CrOsstown
cars had shown the same public spirit dis
played by the Fifth Avenue Coach Com
pany. This company suspended the oper-
alton OF all buses along the avenue be-
tween the hours OF 80 and IL 80 on both
evenings. II the continuous running Of
these cars is essential TO the city's needs
would IL not be we'll in the future for the
authorities in charge to select another
crosstown street, one on which there are
no surface cars to cause delays"
