Tlio Forty-flrst street building will number among its con tingent of private patrons this season tho Ijouox, which is exclusively n ladies' club; tho Arlington, tho Tuesday Evening, tho Ciuciunatus, tho Union, tho Owl and tho Knickerbocker. Of courso, ladies belong to each of tho latter clubs for what would ten. nis bu without tho girls? and each club do. . votes one evening a wook to its favorite sport. ' The Knickerbocker Bowling Club, which is tho most fashionablo of all tho organiza tions of its class, will -C1 li ot commonco its yfj regular meetings until 7'V Lent. It has acquired tho title of the " Swug- y A gerNincpinScattcrer" fysmfj, of New York, no doubt fi fRsm because its members J?wibj xWm. devoto less time and $$ggj ixSsS'W caro to tho cultivation ,.

It has- tho "' 1 largest membership of any of its rivals and includes within its select circlo not a few representatives of Gotham's upper swelldom. Tho idea of postponing active athletics nutil Lent is regarded by all tlio members as ovidenco of the largo and well-proportioned lieadB of tho Exccutivo Committee, which proposed the Bchemo. Outsido social affairs keep most of tho members too busy for tho present to permit them to waste any even lugs in sucn a humdrum maunor as rolling wooden balls about or knocking rubber balls over a not. After tho round of dissipation, which for tho present season promises, if anything, to bo moro exhausting than usual, the nood of bomo reactionary treatment will certainly bo felt. Then bowling and tennis will bo juBt tho thing to strengthen the re laxed muscles, and tono up the system that has been worn out by late hours, Wagnerian opera and innumerable champagno suppers at Delmonico's. J As tho club, despite its largo membership, lias tho reputation of doing less bowling than jv any other association EfsT York, it is not to be S0sJr feared that its members tjjJ'tfr will over-exert them- &34& J selves by tho violenco 1 taTtfa& tuo'r oxercuo and i v3s! tuuB endanger their J Ji7Vi health.

On theso occasions some of tho ladies an. f nounco that thoy will appear in short drosses i without sloovts, although usually a street or j walking costume is the order of attiro. i It is argued that tho sleoveless dress has an i advantage because it allows tho arm full i play and unrestrained action in bowling, and ' it may be added that it also enables the fair !e members to dipplay tho results of thoir con- J sciontious work in a woll-doveloped forearm and biceps, whilo it certainly docs not I diminish their attractiveness in tho eyes of thoir admirers of tho steruor Bex. It may also bo stated that tho ladies of tho Knickerbocker aro all complimentary mem. bers, tlio dues and expenses of tho club being , nil paid by tho gentlemen, who aro permitted to bring invited guests to tho monthly enter. tainments as woll as to tho regular meetings. 1 A record of each member's scores is kept, ; and at tho end of tho season prizes aro 1 awarded to those who have mado tho best '. records.

Tho lino runs botween tho station on tho Brooklyn Elovatcd Kallroad at Alabama avenuo and tho proposed terminus at Smith street, in Jamaica, at its juuetion with Fill ton strcot. tho main thoroughfaro of the village. Tho company operating tho now road has built ten electric railways in this country and Canada, all of which aro now in successful operation.

Thoy provo to bo moro economical, clcanlyond avnilablo than horso cars. A spcod of twenty-scvon miles au hour can bo maintained, and a grado of 10 per cent can bo surmounted. g Tho "machinery for propelling tho car is simple It is under tho control of tho con. ductor, who stops or starts tho car or regu lates tho R1eed with a touch, Tho current of electricity is produced by a powerful steam engino and conveyed to tho cars in transit by means of two heavy coppor wires supported by poles and passing ovor tho roadway its on. tiro length. From each of theso a wiro descends to tho motor, which is placed in tho forward part of tho car, and is carried along ovor the top of tho conducting cable by a pulley or grooved whcol running ovor it liko a car-wheol on its rail. Tho road is six miles iu length. Tho engino which furnishes tho power Is located at tho old car stables, about midway between its termini. Tho road will bo lighted with aro lights. Tho villago is considering a pro. position to replaco tho gas-burning street lights with tho now eloctno system. Now stations will bo built at Richmond Hill Mid Woodhavon lano, as woll as at tho Jamaica terminus. Trains will run ovory fif teen minutes. The faro will bo ten'cents through. TOO BUSY TO REGISTER PARES. That Mny Have risen the lleaaon Why the Condactor Pocketed Mont or Them. " I had always hold boll punches, street car registers and spotters in detestation, and had an enduring faith in tho honesty of man, until I mado an early morning trip down town tho other day," said a downtown mer chant. " Sly journoy was mado on a surfaco car, and my observations of tho conductor led mo to tho conclusion that all of tho de. vices for preventing theft by employees aro justifiable, yet unavailing. " I boarded tho car at Thirteenth street and found myself ono of thirty-two passengers. I havo no idea of knowing how many moro had boarded and left tho car in its long jour, noy down to that point. Tho conductor stoppod in his perusal of a morning news, paper long enough to collect my fare and re. suincd his seat on the rear rail and his scan, niug of the day's news. Tho boll of the faro registor did not ring, and I glanced at tho dial to find that, according to the conductor's record, he had counted but nine passengers on tho down trip. This was tho boldest bit of ' knocking down ' I ever saw. Only nlno registered when fifteen boarded tho car at ouo stop 1 I don't blamo tho railway corpora tions for their precautions." Mm. Potter Proinlard Not to Ktas. Vomo h'r York trlltr. Mrs. James Brown-Potter promised her husband, Jtut before her dbut hero asa processional actress, that she would never allow her mimic loveri of tho stage to klii ber. That Is what her acquaintances In society say, and the story la circumstantially proven brforo her audiences. In the first play la which sho was a heroine tho courtship did not re sult in marriage, nor even In a sentimental Bur render, and so the absence of klulnir did not at tract much attention. Bat It was different in the ensuing piece. There sho was the intensely beloved wife of tbo hero, and at the outset they were repre sented as meeting after months of separation. They ruined at each other, as huiband and wife might naturally be expected to; they embraced af fectionately, they held passionate discourses for a quarter of an hour, and then they reluctantly parted again, but neither In the greeting nor the good-by was a kiss exchanged. Mrs. Potter per mitted a hug and a few caresses, but the lips of her supposed husband never touched her face. It was curious to observe how quickly the audience, even to the least sophisticated, took note of the lack ot tho reasonable action. Comment on that point buzzed all over the house.

In order to render my meaning clearor I will tell you a story which I heard a short timo ago and which it seems to mo might bo npplicablo to tho case of tho lamented Duchess. It is as follows: "Tho soul of tho Baroness A. had bid farowell to tho earth.

Bho flattered herself that sho would bo received with open arms, and was disagree ably surprised when St. Peter mado his ap pearonco and, addressing her in a gruff tono, exclaimed: ' What do you want here V "' I am tho Baroness A, and I wish to enter Paradise.'

Miss Grubb has heon very busy latoly sing ing in "Tho Mar quis " nt tho Casino at night and rehearsing " Madolon" during tho day. Consoqucnt. ly when a cloricaliy clad gentleman of an ultra demuro aspect called ot tho flat about n week ago and asked to sco Mrs. llayman on vory particular' bust, noss mamma was obligcto tell him that sho was out. Tho following doy ho called again. Mrs. Haynian was still out. Ho was unsuc cessful tlirei) times. On Saturday ho found Mrs. Ilaymau in and disclosed tho object of his mission. Ho was getting up a subscrip tion for a most commcndnblo charity, ho said. Would Mrs. Hayman holp him ? Ho drow such a touching picture of tho misery which this charity was to abolish that Miss Grubb's eyes filled with tears. " Oh, I am bo sorry," sho said, putt lug her hand in hor pooket, " that I was out whon you first called, but I havo been extremely busy rehearsing." "Kehearsingl" exclaimed tho subscription gatherer, his eyos Btnrting from his head. ''You aro not an actressy" This with posi tive terror in his voice. Mrs. Hayman opened an album on her table and pointed to a portrait of herself with tho name fl Miss Lillian Grubb" underneath. It acted in a strango way upon tho visitor. Ho seized his hot, started Btraight for tho door, rushed down stairB and was seen no more. Not a word of explanation did ho offer. MiKS Grubb felt hurt, wonderfully hurt. Bho con Bidcrcd sho had beon slighted. " But," baid she, "I'm 15 in pocket, unywuy." llobert C. Hilliard was asked yesterday afternoon if ho had concluded hiH arrange, ments with II.

He thinks ho has n chaucoof seeing it played hero in tlio spring, Bonie moneyed friends of his having half jiromised to hcln him. The nanio of Mr. McWade's play is "Franz Itochcllc," nnd it is said tn ho ex ceptionally strong (ull plays aro. by tho byo, until they havo been Been). Mr. MoWado is so anxious to arrango matters for this play that ho will not leave Now York, and only appears in "Kip Van Winkle" for un occa sional holiday. " Franz Itochcllu " is said to require $10,000 cold cash. Horry Leo is to join Mrs. Potter in placo of Joseph Haworth, who is engaged for tho coming production of " Anarchy " at tho Standard Theatre. Mr. Leo was to havo taken his play of " Angelo " on tho road, but " Angelo " has been sholved for tho present. Tho public ought to feel grateful. Charles K. Gardiner is arranging to star George Adams, tho burlesquo clown, next season, iu what ho calls a " speaking panto mime," entitled " Ho, Sho, Him, Her," in which ho will appear iu a Now York theatro in August. Mr. Gardiner will bo a very busy man noxt season. Ho has n war play written by tho lato Elliott Barnes, and baid to bo as strong as "Held by tho Enemy," also to bo produced in this city next spring. Then ho is interested in " Only a Farmer's Daughter," " Only a Woman's Heart" oud "Zo-Zo." Chanuccy Depow, at tho recent Itobsou aud Crano banquet, mado ouo of his rare and brilliant speeches this timo lauding tho Amorlcan drama.
