THE SENTIMENTS OF THE MERTING were then embodied in the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:— Whereas, This meeting having had under considera- tion the condition of our city—the paralysis of its iudus- | try and the almost complete suspension of its progress | aid growth, arising in by far larger part from the want of taciliies tor rapid transit between the place of resi- dence aad the place of business, and having seen that | aiter ten years of incessant effort to secure such transit, the Greeriwic Street Klevated Railway Company 1s the | n that has given, as yet, any earnest of its g taith and ability to furnish it; that, with its present single track, it now aftforas quick daily transit for over people, while with its increased facill- ties and double track, as provided by the recent act | of the Leyislature, its capacity will be increased more than tenfold, and its accommodations extended to the people the whole length of tae island, Instead of a small section, a8 now; while for all this it asks no city aid, but gives assurance of a speody compleuon of.the | ‘ork, in a new ana improved torm, ‘from the Battery to | Har.om River by Gavel enterprise alone; therefore, Resolved. ai this meeting, largely attended and re- | flecung the views of all parties, all interests and all | parts of the city, acting upon its general knowledge of o. S the road and the information here obtained, respectrully etitions and earnestly urges upon his Excellency the Jovernor to sign the bill now betore him for the exten- | sion of such road, that it may become a law. Resolved, That, in the view of this meeting, the fact that this company and its predecessors, under’ a charter as April 22, 1807, has already expended 000,000 in building their road to Thirty-tourth street over which 300 people re now passing daily, The eee ‘at their own risk and cost the practical ex- periment of tts utility, renders it but an act of simple jus- tice. both to them and tothe peopie, that the seed tnus sown should be permitted to ripen into its appropriate fruit and harvest, Resolved, That, having no preterence or prejudice for | or against any other company or road, but only anxious hat rapid transit should be secured, we respocttully ask the Governor to sign any other of such bills now before bim 2s give promise of early practical execution, with- ont pre} Cig try interests of the city or peo} Resolved, ‘that a copy of these resolutions by the officers of this meet ‘and forwarded as a me- mortal to the Governor upon the sabject therein cou- WHAT THE ROAD CAN DO. In reply to a letter from William R. Martin and 8. E. Cuurch, asking him to give a statement of the condition of the Elevated Railroad, to be read at this meeting, Mr. J. A. Corning sent the tfollow- ing letter:— Wittiam R. Marti, President; 8. E. Cauron, Chair. man, &¢ Grxtixwxx—Your note of the 18th inst. came duty to hand. In answer to your mquiries we submit the fol- lowing :— Firae—This company is now operating its road from the Battery to Thirty-tourth street, about jour miles. eleven stations lor passengers, ten passenger cavs aad five dummies. 1ts trme table calls ior twenty-six round trips over the road dadv, and yet it runs eighty-two or More trains of two or three cars each during the same ‘ume, running from two to tour trains upon the same trip. | Asingle train has capacity to seat pinaty tya or 13s pas- | sengers, as it takes two or three cars. When ail ten cars are © (as they can be on the sume trip) the capacity is 46) passengers; und these may all be taken over the road in fiiteen minute: The runving time, however, when ail the stops are made, is twenty minutes. It the cars were filled every trip the road could carry over 8,000 passengers per day. The average number how trans- ported is about 3,009. the afternoon trains southward carry very few passen- gers, While trains at the same times in the opposite di- rections are crowded to their utmost seating capacity. ‘the route through Gi street and Ninth avenae not the best in the city, and the termini at Battery place and thirty-fourth street are not such as to accommodate the greatest number of bassengers. ‘The amended char- ter authorizes the company to extend its line to the fer- ries at the foot of Whitehall street and to the Central | Park. early $1,500,000 have been expended upon this enter- prise, with the following resulis:—We have demon- strated the practicability of elevated railroads for rapid transit; we have demonstrated the practicability of using Steam ag a motive power; our structure occupies space unused for any other purpose and does not rk with the proper_use of sidewalks or carriagewavs, but | relieves both. We have operated the road with this mo- tive power since April 20, 1871, over three years), and not a passenger has been in the. least injured. The ex. tensions of the road allowed by the amended charter are less than halt a mile in length, and along streets where there cannot be any reasonable objections; but the routes are subject to the approval of three Commission- ers appointed by the Governor, and the Governor him- self. The bill authori change in the structure of the road hereafter built, but subject to like approval. ‘Second—It the amended charter becomes a law the company intends rebuilding the present road, and, under the supervision of the Commissioners and’ Gov: cou tinuing it with a difterent and much improved ture, a structure that shall be beyond all possibility ot danger or the appearance of danger, s0 tar as mechan’ ica! skill aud care can provide aguirst it The purpose | 4s to have the structure strong enough to run trains forty miles an hour, instead of twelve to fifteen, as the | present road is operated. Thira—in case ihe Governor signs the bill the company intends to extend tts track to the ferries at the toot of | Whitehail stgeet and tothe Central Park this season. | This can be done within ninety days atter the bilt is signed and the route and structure approved. This, with side tracks and turnouts. will enable the company to run trains every ten minutes each way, and accommosate eight or ten times the number of passen- gers now carried daily. There 1s no ditfcalty in con- structing one, or even two miles of track per month. A double track trom the Batterv to the Harlem River can be completed before the end of the year 1875, Whether it wall be completed ‘apidly as this, will depend upon the er ee the Com in rapid transit in the city. Having thus replied to your inquiries, permit me to add, that the management of this road’ the past three yeurs has been directed to tour primary purposes: First—Safovy : to tuis everything else must yield. Second—The least possible injury and the greatest bene- fit to private property aiong the fine. Upon this point a very great change has been effecte here is litle or Ro compinint now, and very many are satisfied that the Property for business purposes Is benefitted and not in- owl, reatest speed practicable: in view of the d something bas been accomplished to be done. We run twelve to hour. We hope to be able to run trom twenty-five to thirty miles per hour upon the contem- placed new structure with periect safety. Fourth—Romuneration. to capital invested: This, so far, has not been realized; but upon this point much may be said. The road at present supplies but a local and limited demand. Tl Ive principal surface roads report to the Legis- ice jor the 9 if ), 1872, that ney lature jor the year ending September carried passengers as follow: ‘Third Avenue.

Salvini’s Farewell. The Academy of Music was last night the scene of Signor Saivini’s farewell performance on the American stage, at least ior some me. Owing, no doubt, to the want Oo! suficient notice, the pub- lic did not come in such force as might have been expected. Only tue orchestra seats were well filled, the rest of the bouse being almost empty. This was the more remarkable as Siguor Salvint had selected for his fare well representation Othello, in which réle his acting 18 truly powerful and grand. On all other occasions when this performance was presented 1. drew good houses, and we can therefore only atiri- bute the small attendance to the want of sufficient notice. The periormance was marked by all the wonderful subtlety and vigor of dramatic deline- ation which this actor possesses to a greater degree: than any other tragedian. It produced its wonted@ effect on the audience, who frequently gave ex- pression to their warm admiration for the gentus- of the actor. During the evening he was presented: with several beautiful bouquets and a laurel wreath having attached red, white and greem streamers, representing the Italian tri-color. Wallack’s—“East Lynne.” Mrs. Carlotta Leclercq appeared last night for the first time at this standard theatre in the drama of “Kast Lynne,” the stage form of Mra, Henry Wood's morbidly sentimental novel. It te too late in the day now to speak at length of sucky @ play, which has held the boards a jong im this country, and it is only neces- sary here to refer to Miss Leclercq’s impersonation of the character of Lady & which was lull of emotional power and excited more than ordinary share of the Fie een the susceptibie ladies present. ir.
