New York, . Dec. SI. New York rendered its customary pantomimic greeting to the new year tonight with more variety than ever before. This was due to an almost balmy evening that invited additional thousand to Join the multitude who streamed up and down Broadway for at least two hours before midnight. Toward old Trinity, ever the central point of the New Years eve festival, the mob of down-tow- n revelers moved. Here home hooted the old year out, while the chime, which for years have rung the hour before the dying years last midnight, aang their happy omen of the ineoming season. The cafes in upper Breedway and the Bohemian restaurant of tha East Side were crowded with those who helped the old year out ud tha new year in with songs ud merriment, and In contrast were the watch meetings with their wealth of religious sentiment. The subway and the elevated and surface roads' were orowdrd to their utmost capacity tonight with parties bound to get aa near tb Trinity as they could. Brooklyn bridge and all tha down town ferries added their quotas, until at 11 o'clock Broadway waa Jammed from tha city hall down to the battery. The streets running to the ferries were lined all day with Tenders who did a roaring trade ia tin horns, rattles, whistles and other ear splitting devices. The din that rose high above the multitude on Broadway sleekened for n few moments when at'l!:45 the solemn chimes at Trinity pealed forth thefr parting to tha old year, followed by the bells of nearly every rhnrch in the city.
