REACHES AND RIDES. ; With the broad span of Williams burg Bridge crammed with elevated as well as trolley traffic for the first time today, the official opening of this second highway over the East River is being hailed as a longsought . relief to the pent-up traction of Brooklyn's millions, Now that just aoume tnc crown may waiK or ricie dry-shod to and from the borough across the water It Is believed that the disgraceful bridge Jam of the rush hours may soon cease to obtrude as one of Gotham's chief relics of bar barism, Two more big bridges stand readv to he fitted to nunrdiitile the facilities which for a generation the Old Brooklyn Bridge held forth, and a' tunnel under-water is relieving the crush by thousands of souls night and morning. With the arms of the mod ern traction octopus reaching below and aloft to every shore beyond this island it really seems to-day that a future of reasonable transportation may he in store for the patient New Yorker. ' START OF SCHOOL The iiWasiou of Gotham's school houses this week by an army' of chil dren ten times the size of that of the fighting forec of the whole United States has to-day been turned into a semblance of peaceful occupation by the strenuous endeavors of Father Knickerbocker's corps of 17,000 teach er.". To handle 625,000 youngsters, who arc fresh from vacation pastures and speak any of thirty-odd languages with more or less English, has proved this year "a task that is trying even the veteran educators of the metropolis. The nnual inrush of this raw child product of cosmopolitan Gotham is larger than ever this falL and only M a K3 I carry the best Loggers' Shoes in town at the low est prices.

A. weeks of watchfulness will begin to shape it Into the finished article from which American citizens are made in our schools. No event of the open ing season is more eagerly observed by New Yorkers than this educational mobilization and no army in the world means more to this common wealth than that of the start of school days. " - '!' '' . LYONS LINGERS. Mike Lyons' 'restaurant on the Bowery has today opened its doors once more and restored to that his toric old thoroughfare the most shin ing landmark of its younger days. A year ago the proprietor of this East Side Delmonico's suffered it to be locked up for the first time in almost forty years and sadly set at sea the "high guys" of police and political circles who had made its festive board their nightly headquarters ever since the key was first thrown away. Now the way Imi at last been made straight for reviving the splendors of this luxurious Bowery refectory and Its blazing lights and open doors are at tracting some of the old crowd of by-gone days.? But the Bowery is sad ly civilized and changed these days and thus far the old pride of the row has lacked much of its for mer patronage. Roosevelt, Croker and almost every political and police power of younger New York once sat In conclave over Lyons' cloth j but to-night the, place is only a name to many of the frequenters. ' SHININO STATESMAN. Dimming the radiance of the Great White Way, "Hinlcy Dink" Kenna, the pride of Chicago's stock yards is to-day giving the people of this town a treat with the lustre of his jewelry and sartorial, appointments. Set in the lavender, pink and plaid of the fine linen and fabric of his start ing costumes, the Windy City states man is this year carrying more shiny stones than outfit may a jeweler's window. Altogether the approach of "Hinky Dink", Is as Impressive as a three-alarm fire run and his presence is lining up the crowd three-deep along his route on Broadway. The ward boss of Chicago has tried to tell what Illinois would do for Bryan; but has as yet found that his clothes spoke much louder than his words.
