The East New York and Brownville sections are about to be benefited by the opening of a new trolley line which will be 'put in operation the coming week from Rockaway avenue to Berrlman street, near the extreme eastern border of the borough. The new route is about two miles in length, and will be operated in New Lots avenue, formerly known as New Lots road, which was the principal thoroughfare of the region when it waB farm lands, and the highway was the means of communication with the Flatbush section. The formertown of New. hlch was annexed to the city 'as We TwentyiSixth Ward a quarter of a century waB originally the "new lots" of Flatbush, a section settled by the overflow of the residents of Flatbush to the eastward. The land was not as fertile as the heavily wooded plain of Mldwood or Flatbush.

When they built their church they called it the New Lots Reformed Church, and the highway, which was practically the extension of Clarkson street eastward, was the New Lots road. That name still belongs to the section of the old road between Hunterfly road and Church ave- Jt, nue, formerly East Broadway, as well as to the portion where the trolley line has been constructed east of Rockaway educational interest. The development of the arboretum and botanical garden south of the Museum -is going forward, although adverse meteorological conditions have prevented the appearance of thrifty growth that otherwise would have been seen. The management of Institute Park, now in the hands of the Museum authorities, is not displaying the activity that was shown by the Park Department in keeping the grounds trim and tidy. Long grass has been allowed to cover the meadow instead of Its being smoothly shriven, and the surroundings have a somewhat neglected and unkempt appearance, which is not in keeping with the trim neatness of Prospect Park.

PLEASANTEST DAYS IN PROSPECT PARK. The city's great pleasure ground 'n this borough felt the beneficial effects of the rain which fell in moderation this week and will present its best appearance when the great affair of the early summer season, the Children's Sunday school parade, is (reviewed Oiere next week by President Taft. Already Prospect Park has had throngs of visitors drawn by especial gatherings this season. The German Singers have celebrated in the Flower Garden, the public school children have danced on the Long Meadow, the exercises at the Moore statue and the Decoration Sunday Memorial services at the Lincoln statue have served to draw many persons. With the especially attractive floral displays, first of tulips, then of rhododendrons, now at their best, to be followed by the roses, visitors find much to attract and interest them.

HOLIDAY SEEKERS LOOK AT REAL ESTATE. The occurrence of a holiday In the middle of the week always detracts from the amount of business, especially in the realty market, both before and after it. But the bright weather of Decoration Day served to take many persons from town to find in suburban scene's contrast and refreshment, and many of them succeeded in combining business with pleasure by seeking out places where they might find Buitable locations for homes which would be removed from the din and crowds ot the thronged city. No better time of the year for realizing the beauties of the country can be found than the Decoration Day season, and all who could took advantage of the week-end which lasted over the The outcome of many trips was a satisfactory solution of the problem of where to spend the summer, and some all-the-ycar changes will result from the trips taken. OLD CHURCH SITE FOR NEW GARAGE.

In the changed use to which property has been In not a few cases buildings which have been abandoned for ehurah uses have been converted into stables or garages, or used for other purposes. One notable instance Is the old Presbyterian Church at Jay and 'street, which has Jong been an auction room, A known structure ot the Brooklyn of a quarter of a-century ago was' the White-' Church, on street, near Fulton. It was known a3 the Second Church, and Dr. Ichabod Spencer was long the Later the Rev. Arthur Crosby, a nephew of Dr.

Howard Crosby, served It, and In hl3 day the famous trial of Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage on charges of falsehood and de-deceit, based on common fame, was held there. While Mr. Crosby was pastor, a consolidation with the Remsen Street Church, of which Dr.

Henry J. van Dyke was pastor, was effected, and the. old White Church was given up for sacred services. It was first converted Into a factory, and of late years has been a garage, with a brick front hiding the old-time structure, which dates back to 1833. Now it is all to be demolished and a brick and concrete structure Is to rlBe oh its site, which will serve for the housing of automobiles In immediate proximity to the bridge entrance.

The work of taking down the present structure is to begin shortly. MANY LOTS TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION. Auction sales of attractive suburban property are features of the June activity in the field of realty operations, and this year will bring forward a number of important events of this kind.

which was to be ready by June 15 so that Mr. Greve's family could occupy it. this summer. Rapid progress was made and In ten days the house was roofed in. On a Saturday afternoon, Jerome D.

Gedney, a New York lawyer, visited the property. Casting his eyes about, he pointed to Mr. Greve's houBe and asked bow much he could have that house for. Mr. Oreve said: "I am building that house for myself." "I don't care," said Mr.

Gedney. How much Is It?" "Well, I will sell that property for $17,000," was Mr. Greve's answer. A check was given for that amount on the following Monday. Mr.

Greve than selected a location near this house, accepting new plans and gave the orders for building. Two days later one of the men of the sales department Informed Mr. Greve that he had sold the house on that location from the plans. At thst Mr. Greve decided that he would rent from one of the early purchasers a house which was being built.

Before the lease had been- concluded a prospective purchaser came to the office and offered a rental of $Sm) for that house for rest of the unfurnished. Mr. Oreve Is still casting about for a place for his family for this summer. PROSPECT PARK SOUTH SALES W. C.

Kennelly, who will conduct the sale, believes that this year's sale will be even more successful than last year's .4 A --r avenue, but the intervening section I sr known as Church avenue, the Church Avenue line of cars being operated in.it to Rockaway avenue, where the Hamburg avenue cars 'run to and from Canarsie. The Ralph avenue cars are also operated to the same point, and now the New Lots avenue cars will be run eastward from that junction. The old New Church, with the school opposite, are the most notable structures on the new line. A number of rows of new houses have bjjen erected In New Lots avenue and intersecting streets in anticipation of the new facilities. The new road offers the best means for reaching the Old Mill region, where building is active.

It terminates near New Lots Pumping Station No. 2. WILL SUBWAY DELAY FOLLOW CHANCE? The old-time maxim, which should be jiunoreu in me ousei-vance ratner man in the breach, directs that horses nhnnM not be swapped in crossing a stream. But this is just what has been done by the state administration in replacing Public Service Commissioner Bassett by J. Sergeant Cram, when the most Impor tant subway transaction of a decade, if not of a century, is pending.

That the effect can only be to embarrass and delay the delicate negotiations just coming to a close is apparent, and was effectively set forth by the report of the investigators of the present condition in public service control for the Governor himself. But his words were without weight in face of a flat which controlled. The loss to Brooklyn of one-half of her representation in the board which has control of the transit facilities is not as much regretted as It might have been had there been united representation in the past in all matters which have a vital bearing in this borough; but it is a fact that Brooklyn has at times had stancher friends in the commission than those whose interests should have served to put her first. There Is an adage in regard to those who stand up so straight that they lean backward which can be commended to those who seek to serve the public to the best possible advantage. That nothing save the prompt and satisfactory settlement of the subway question will put life Into the realty situat-tion is the belief of the best informed brokers.

If the matter is again hung up over the vacation season and a fresh start in the fall has to be awaited It is felt that practically the whole thing will have to be gone over again, with a chance of as protracted delay as has continued since the end of last year, However, if a solution of the problem advantageous to all the interests concerned is reached this month, by the early fall there will be a direct stimulus to active operation in the region to derive most benefit. One operator says the full supply of needed subway facilities to Brooklyn will add 25 per cent to the value of property In the vicinity of the routes and another declares It will add $2,000 to the value of every house in this borough. TO ADD TO GREATEST BOROUGH STRUCTURE. Tho breaking of ground for the erection of a new wing ot the great Museum of Arts and Sciences In Institute Park, marks the beginning of work which will carry the facade of that noble structure from Eastern parkway along Washington avenue, where it will look out on the great adjoining section of the southern slope from the Parkway toward Flatbush. When completed In its entirety, a score or more of years hence, the Museum will have four facades, each equal in extent to the one now completed facing the North, and a huge dome in the center which will far overtop that which surmounts the main entrance.
