BROOKLYN
\ ... NE W 5 A
iROUGH GOSSIP
It civ Jeer Driven to Harness —
for a While.
t Although Brooklyn has produced two Hs
_nercrs of the "Great Nail." including
one wJio re^ly pot there, and has sons
who still live to tell tales of the great
blizzard of ISSS, on Friday she saw for the
first time a reindeer driven through her
streets: or. rather. It might better be said
perhaps, driving through her streets. The
<i<H.r that participated in the excitement
■was in', irr.ported from the North by Com
raundcr r<arj\ either. There is me rea
sors to i3;:nk that it was bom here. It is
owced !>>' Robert Vo!I, -who runs a hostlery
at N". t~*2 Church aver.ur. which is a
lone way from tht- pole.
F.esides= the hotel. Mr. Voll conducts a
select private menagerie in the back yard.
composed of the reindeer, me pigs, a
donkey, two ponies, some chickens, ducks
ar.J ce-ese- His patrons arc permitted to
see the menagerie and to pet its mesnba
at th-'ir own risk without extra charge.
All thai is asked of them is that they have
rscto«hing7 first. X might be explained
tl.at Mr. Voll sx>t into the habit of living
on the outskirts of civilization -■.-•■•
«4;o. which may account for his present
e«Mtiem« nt in the Sparsely populated region
where he now lives. He has given it out
to Ins neighbors thai he comes from the
AVest and is a practised bronco fcuster.
> -:;i- ol the people of Flatbush have cast
doubts upon the statements of the hotel
man. A rouple even went so far as to
inakf a itet with him that he could not
even break his pet reindeer to harness.
He iix>k them up. nnd set Friday as the
day for hi? •exhibition. A small crowd
gathered in the Ding to witness his
performance. In due time the animal
Ti-a.' k"i forth and harnessed to Mr. Voll's
jxvny cart. The owner then mounted the
»i<rai and suggested that they proceed.
The reindeer refused at first, but finally
r-vntcd to pass along Church avenue,
had noi gone far when something
_art-vd it. nue n broke into a run- The
cir'ver pulled furiously en the reins, but
without avail. The pace quickened and
ih<* cits t pvrung from side to side until it
lirtiught up iigtiinst a trolley post a Rogers
avenue The driver hit the ground but es
c^t»e<l injury. Tlk ■;■■• continued on
its way. and a policeman caught it and es
ciirted it to a station bouse, when its
owner ap]>eare«.] soon after and claimed it.
Workmen have started the work of

The plan which the Intcrborough Railroad
