Every car was taxed to such a degree that the conductors were inable to get through the press of humanity to collgct second fare. Until to-day all trains on the Brighton line In the early rush hours have been running as “Fulton Ferry Expresses.” They run as express only from Kings Highway to Newkirk avenue, but aa they usually run fairly light they make good time, The train due at Sheeps- head Bay at 7:50 usually lands passen- gers at Park Row at o'clock, In- cldentally, it might be added, that the A SECOND FARE showed its utter disregard for, the! After reaching the * tation the motor- man came out of the box and yelled back at the guard: “Are they going to put on another car?” The guard didn’t know, but he went back to see, and after about five minutes’ delay the train moved along without any @xtre car. The train moved at @ snail's pace There was pretty thick fog, but the fog was not responsible for the slow progress. The real delay was caused by the inadequate service, Every pint- form along the line was crowded and the cars of the short train were soda massed with humanity. At every @te- tion there was delay in opening the jwates and then more delay in cl them, It was almost — {my to close them because those left om seg platforms were fighting to equeese tn The bitter pill to the B, R.
