NELLIE COOK DANCING SCHOOL HAD OUTING Popular Dancing Teacher Was Hostess to Pupils at Affair Held at Sayville Pupils of the Nellie Cook Dancing School will remember for many a day the good time they had Monday, July 2, when they were the guests of their popular teacher. Miss Cook proved a charming hostess a to the talented young people, who, under her guidance, are last becoming professional dancers. The children were guests at the affair, and grownups who desired, arranged, also, to enjoy the day spent In the open.

It took five large sightseeing cars and four private machines to accom- U1UUBH1 IrllO U1C1 jf 111CU.V1 D. They started from 748 Decatur street, the headquarters of Miss Cook's private stuclo. Before 11 a m. the last machine closed Its doors and started off In the direction of Tidewater Inn, Sayville, L. I.

The day proved nn exciting one. Most of the guests took along bathing attire. They lost no time In donning It when they arrjed at the resort. All made for the cool, refreshing swimming and water stunts. Two hundred made merry In the Cook party, one hundred and twenty of that number being pupils from the various schools conducted by Miss Cook.

The afternoon passed all too quickly. It was with reluctanoe the little folks boarded the buses for the home trip. Songs were sung as the cars glided along the pretty cool country roads, and on arrival In the city most of the party displayed sunburned arms and faces. Miss Cook's pupils were profuse In their thanks for her splendid hospitality. Best wishes were extended for pleasant vacations, and all agreed to reunite In the Fall when dancing lessons will be resumed with Great Convenience in Reaching Union Square District of Manhattan The opening ot the 14th Street-Canarsle Line of the T.

rapid transit system this Saturday will mark the end of more than 15 years' anticipation by the residents of Rldgewood, East New York, Brownsville and Canarsie of direct rapid transit service between Union Square, Manhattan, and Jamaica Bay. The 14th Street-Canarsle Line Is part of the rapid transit system provided for In the Dual Subway Contracts of March 19, 1913. The City of New York In Contract No. 4, of March 19, 1913, agreed to construct a rapid transit route from 6th avenue and 14th street, Manhattan, to East New York, where It would be connected with the existing lines at that point. This route was intended to- provide direct rapid transit service between the Industrial district centering on Union Square, Manhattan, and the densely populated sections of Rldgewood, East New York and Brownsville.

The lack of the completed 14th street line has been the cause for years past of the extreme congestion of transfer traffic In rush hours at Canal street, Manhattan. Passengers traveling between stations on the Broadway (Manhattan) subway and Brownsville have had to use the Broadway (Manhattan) subway and the Canartle line, transferring at Canal street, between the Broadway and Center street stations. In rush hours, because of the Inadequacy of the transfer facilities at Canal street, this transfer traffic has been sent throueh the streets, a distance of two tilocks. In all sorts of weaftier. both winter and summer.

In addition, so heavy has been this transfer traffic that each morning and evening passengers are held In the streets for minutes at a time during rush hours to avoid dangerous overcrowding on the platforms. The opening of the 14th Street-Canarsle Line will help to Improve conditions at Canal street by providing a direct route to the Union Square section of Manhattan for residents of Rldgewood, East New York and Brownsville. The 14th Street-Canarsle Line originally was planned as a subway from 14th street and 6th avenue, Manhattan, to Bushwlck and Johnson avenues, Brooklyn, and as an from the latter point to Eist New York, where It would connect with the existing structures. Contracts for the construction of the subway section of the line were let and the con; tractor undertook to complete this section by June, 1918. Because of financial difficulties and war conditions, the construction of the subway section was delayed, and It was not completed until 1924.

Operation In the subway portion of the line was begun on June 30, 1924, ana service between 6th avenue, Manhattan, ana Montrose avenue, Brooklyn, has been maintained since then. To provide cars for the operation of this stub-end line, It was necessary to construct a ramp connection between the subway tracks and the tracks in the Bushwick terminal of the Long Island Railroad and send 'the cars from the T. shops In South Brooklyn via the Long Island Rail road tracks to Bushwlck terminal and then lower them down the ramp Into the subway. Differences first as to the route of the eastern half of the line and finally as to whether the eastern half should be an or a subway delayed the letting of contracts for this section. The T.

announced lu December, 1923, shortly after Its organization, that It would agree to a modification of Contract No. 4, so that this eastern section might be constructed as a subway. At the Bame time the T. called attention to, the fact that "this company expended years ago In anticipation of the early completion of this line approximately $500,000 third-tracking the Myrtle avenue which In eludes an express station, at Wyckoff avenue to. connect with the 14th Street-Eastern Line." In order that this expenditure would not be wasted the company stipulated that "It should be understood In case the contract is modified so as to provide for substitution of subway for elevated construction, that the City will provide suitable and adequate facilities for transfer of passengers between the subway and elevated lines at Myrtle and Wyckoff avenues, In order that the third track and station facilities already provided by the company may be utilized." The offer of the T.

to agree to the change from to subway was accepted by the City and contracts for the construction of this section were awarded In 1924, and are now being completed. In order to provide more adequate facilities for the transfer of passengers at Union, Square, between the 14th Street-Canarsle and the Broadway (Manhattan) subway, the Board of Transportation has recently let contracts for the reconstruction of the Union Square station. The contractor has undertaken to provide temporary facilities to accommodate this transfer traffic in time for the opening of the through service to Canarsie and during the period ot reconstruction of the station which will extend into 1J29. Facilities for the transier of passengers between the, subway and at Myrtle and Wyckoff avenues are to be provided, part of which will be ready for use on the date set for the opening of the new line. The 14th Street-Canarsle Line extends from 6th avenue, Manhattan, to Canarsie and Jamaica Bay.

The stations on the line are as follows: 6th avenue and 14th street, Manhattan; Square free transfer to Broadway subway; 3rd avenue and 14th street; 1st avenue; Bedford avenue and North 7th street, Brooklyn; Lorimer street and Metropolitan avenue; Graham avenue; Grand street and Bushwlck avenue; Montrose avenue; Morgan avenue; Jefferson street; DeKalb avenue and Wyckoff avenue; Myrtle avenue and Wyckoff avenue-free transfer to Myrtle avenue Halsey street and Wyckoff avenue; Wilson avenue and Chauncey street; Bushwlck avenue and Aberdeen street; Broadway Junction Eastern parkway free transfer to Broadway, Jamaica and Lexington avenue Atlantic avenue free transfer to Fulton street and Broadway Sutter avenue; Livonia avenue; "New Lots Road; East 105th street; Rockaway parkway free transfer to trolley line operating to Canarsie and Jamaica Bay. The section of the line from 6th avenue, Manhattan, to Montrose avenue, has been operated since June 30, 1924, as a stub-end route without any direct track connection with the rest of the T. rapid transit system. The section from Broadway and Eastern parkway to Canarsie is part of the old Brooklyn system, and up to the present time trains from this line have operated via Broadway, Brooklyn, the Williamsburg h. Bridge Without the slightest trace of nervousness, Wednesday, Domlntck Fanto, 23 years old, of 31 Liberty avenue, told County Court Judge Algernon I.

Nova that he expects a long prison term for violating the law. He pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and robbery. "Your are experienced In crime," said the Judge. "I sure am," came the quick response. "You have been In Elmlra reformatory for misbehaving while a minor.

What next?" asked the court. Fanto smiled for a minute and then replied. "Sing Sing for a long term." "You know that I can send you away for twenty years," came back the Judge. "And I expect to get the limit" snapped the defendant. On June 1 Fanto held up Charles Barenbauth, a taxi driver of 353 Mldwood street and stole 68.50 from him.

The robbery occurred at Bedford and Atlantic avenues, and his arrest followed a short time later. MRS. M. ESTELLE CURTIS ENTERTAINED AT SHORE Elocution Pupils and Parents Enjoyed Lively Day at Springfield Cottage The "Lyndybyrd" Cottage at Springfield Dock, L. the summer home of Mrs.

Bushwlck, Rldgewoodd and Canarsie are all set for the observance of the official opening to take place this Saturday afternoon," starting at 2 o'clock, when the "first train" will run from Union Square station, Manhattan, to Wyckoff and Myrtle avenues, Rldgewood, and thence on through Bushwlck to Canarsie for the final stop. A reason lies back of the separate celebrations, but despite this everything apparently will go along smoothly. There will be representatives of both celebration groups from the Bushwlck and Rldgewood districts and Canarsie also will have a few on hand.

This section Is more JOSEPH V. DOOLEY or less concerned In extending a "welcome" to the first train. The major portion of the town's civic groups will remain "at home" to extend the glad hand of community fellowship to the city and borough officials, representatives of the railroad company, civic bodies and other guests. Among those Invited to speak at the park exercises are ex-Mayor John F. Hylan, Supreme Court Justice Ed ward RIegelman, Magistrate Charles H.

Haubert, Municipal Justice Harrison C. Glore, Aldermen Rudd and Ott, and Jared J. Chambers. Joseph Dooley will act as master of cere-4 monies. The Street Cleaning Department Band will furnish the mu sic, and dancing, supervised by Wil liam J.

In Rldgewood, where the Greater Rldgewood Subway Celebration Committee holds forth. Dr.

Harry Schles-lnger, the chairman, announces only part of the proposed monster celebration will take place, due largely to the fact that the announced opening date quite upset the plans. Little time was allowed in which to complete all the details, The major por- tlon of the program, therefore, will not be given until July 30, when a huge parade will be the high spot of the event.

It was thought advisable, however, to work this as a separate proposition from the golf course affair, but with the united backing and support of the organizations assembled.

It was pointed out that Avenue was recently paved from Flatbush avenue, easterly to East 43rd street, within a block or so of Kings Highway. This short space still needs the Installation of sewers and then will be paved. With this fine road, the link established through the golf course to Ocean avenue and the bridge secured over the Brighton line tracks, Avenue would make an outstanding cross town thoroughfare, linking up easterly with westerly Platbush lrom Kings Highway to Ocean parkway.
