Park Row and Times Square
Reflect Changed Spirit of
the Occasion.

II was the dullest New Years eve
modern New York has ever seen. Why
pretend anything else?
Probably for that reason 1t was the
most agreeable. At S 80 p. NJ. one
swaying stranger passed the given point
of Park row and Frankfort street sup
ported by Samaritan of slightly more
rectilinear posture. Not another flicker
downtown until near II 80 O'Clock. when
the bells of Trinity began singing

At 10 80 three gunmanly looking per-
sons started selling green and red
feather ticklers on the Seventh avenue
curb in Times Square and were chased
around into Forty-second street by
Patro man Imperial Of the West Forty
seventh street station. At that moment
all the audible or visible fish horns in
Times Square could be counted, and
they numbered an even eleven, not
counting those regularly attached to
automobiles.
Early in the evening in past years
Park Row and lower Broadway have
been crowded paths for those who marched
to Trinity early to hear the chimes
These crowds used TO shrek with ratchet
and horn, and it took extra police te
keep them in line. Last night the police
were there and lonesome. In recen,
years Times Square around or O'CLOCK
has afforded a gauge for what might be
expected later.
