6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1896 TROLLEY PARTY CARS ARE COMING A Popular Eastern Fad That Has Extended to This City. Chicago Holds the Records for Monster Streetcar Ex- cursions. Vehicles in Service That Rival the Traveling Palaces of the Steam Railroads. Few cities in the world are more favored than San Francisco in the matter of climate and artifi advantages for in- dulgence in trolley-car parties, which bave become a popular fad among all | ;,qy o an unknown man with the skull classes of people in the East. Itis gen- erally acknowledged that this City has one of the best systems of streetcar lines in the world. Recently many of the former cable and horsecar lines have been converted into electric roads, and it is the latter that are favored for party excursions about cities. * Itwas onlya month ago that the idea was taken up here, and the party then accommodated is yet the only one on the record of San Francisco, but the coming year will probably see the trolley party in full blast here. In the East the part of a street railway company’s business, which consists in catering to the wants of pleasure-lovers among its patrons by providing special cars which may be chartered by parties, orarranging for the exclusive use by such parties for svecial periods of the cars such as are in daily use, has grown to magnifi- cent proportions, and forms an important part of many compeanies’ revenue. Many companies are increasing theirfacilities as rapidly as possible, for even now in some cities the demand exceeds the supply, Dates are made we in advance, and companies are obliged to make large in- estments in appropriate roiling stock. The result has been to arcuse 2 certain de- gree of rivalry among different companies as to the luxuriousness of the accommo- dations furnished and the number of at- tractions supplied, and many of the cars now in service for this purpose rival in beauty and completeness the traveling palaces of the steam roads, though the latter are intended to house their patrons for days consecutiveiy instead of for a few h Here is a description of one re- built for the Coiumbus Central Company of Columbus, Ohio, which is said to be unequaled in the United States for beauty of design and richness of finish: It is painted in a rich dark Quaker- green, with trimmings tastefully traced in gold. The interior is finished in the choicest mahogany. There are beveled plate-glass windows, costly mirrors be tween the windows and rich and prettily draped curtains. The floor is covered with softdark-green carpets, the windowshades ! than 3000 Feople participated in this. They occupied sixty cars and formed a procession considerably more than a mile in length. While in San Francisco it would not be possible to make up a single circuit of elactric track of forty miles it would yet be an easy matter to run one or more ¢ars over such trackage for a distance of forty orfifty miles, passing over lines that par- allel and cross other roads. With the ex- isting lines it is possible, however, to make one circuit of about sixteen miles along the following route: Siart at the ferry landing then along tbe following streets: East, Folsom, Second, Brannan, Third, Berry, Feurth, Kentucky, Solano, Connecticut, Santa Ciara, Kansa«, Center, Bryant, Twenty-sixth, Mission, Sixteenth, Cnurch, Ridley, Fillmore, Page, Stanyan, Oak, Devisadero, O’Farrell, Hyde, Ellis, Fourth, Mission, Third, Kearny, Broad- way, East to starting point. = At the present time this route could not used without going back over consider- able ground in order to make the neces- sary switches, but with the growth of the pastime locally it would be an easy mat- ter to put in curves at the proper corners. General Manager Vining of the Market- street Railway Company stated that if the demand for party cars justified the com- pany would follow the examp.e of Eastern roads and be ready to vrovide special cars for parties. He stated that the charve would be atout $10 for a car which will bold from twenty-six to thirty-eight people, the capacity of the car being arranged ac- cordivg to the grades it would have to pass over, Fell From a Train to Death., CUMBERLAND, Mp, Nov. 21.—The crushed was found lying on the Baltimore and Ohio track yesterday by a track- walker.

The seating capa- city of the car is eighteen persons. Ther,e are four seitees and ten large, comfortab’e chairs, all of wicker and beautifully mp- holstered. Numerous electric buttons com- municate with the motorneer. The car is lighted with gas, under the Pintsch sys- tem. Milwaukee has a party car for twenty- four, with tables for refreshments. This was illuminated on a recent trip with 700 electric lights. Chicago has the record for the largest parties. On July 15 of this year the Calu- met Electric Srieet Railway of that city took out a party of 2500 people, who occu- pied fifty-four cars. The excursion was under the auspices of the Knights of Py- thias, and traveled over a circuit of about forty miles. But even this great event was surpassed by that of September 17, on the some line, under the direction of the Cook County Cyclists’ Association. More off a train.

At this caucus about everything of importance will be deciced.” Mayor Phelan will have a few appoint- ments of importance, among them a clerk, messengers, a number of places in the License Collector’s office and the clerk- ship of the City Hall Commissioners, it | is generally understood that Clerk McCar- thy is lixely to succeed himself. The Mayor will have something to say about several other clerkships and concerning a number of janitors and messengers and minor places in the City Hall. Being an ex-officio member of the Fi- nance Committee the Mayor will have con- siderable influence in deciding ‘the per- sonnel of what are known as the *‘ten- month men’ in the Assessor's and Tax Collector’s offices. The new Board of Su- pervisors will have the appointment of the aitaches of the Police Courts, of gas inspectors, about thirty janitors, a fire- man, an engineer, a carpenter, several ele- valor men, ten gardeners, six bridge. keepersand many minor officers. Itis generally understood that by rea- son of his pull with Lanigan E. P. Mogan will remain as prosecutor for Pof ice Court 3 ‘W. R, Hewitt will continue as superin- tendent of the fire alarm station, as heisa nephew of Eainey. It is said that Rainey wants a law passed requiring an inspector or electrician to examine all fire alarm work and electric light wires in every house in the City. This law may be i the form of a bill at Sacramento or of an ordi- nance of the Board of Bupervisors. It is generally supposed that this will give the bosses a fine opportunity to reap a harvest s agents of various dealers 1n supplies of the character needed. Paddy Stevens is likely to continue as atrol driver, as he is Lanizan’s friend. x-Assemblyman Healy will probably continue as engineer of the Fourth-street bridge. 1t1s said that Fire Commissioner Bohen will retain his seat, while Daniel Manoney is likely to succeed J. W. McDonald. An- other man likely to remain in his place is Game Warden Mogan. Bupervisor Britt is likely to be chair- man of the FireCommittee,while the same position on the FinanceCommittee will go to Clinton. y An Appeal Is Granted.
