Pup Delays Tube Train; Theater Patrons Storm

__ New _ YQrk. — Theater-£olng passengers on an express bound uptown in the Seventh avenue subway, fumed and fretted while the train ran at quarter-speed with frequent jerky stops. As the hour for curtains to rise on matinees came perilously near, a self-constituted committee called on the motorman for an explanation. He was peering anxiously out of his cab window at a bewildered brown-and-whlte terrier running between the rails. “The pup can’t run any faster,” the motorman explained, "and I ain't going to run over him. That stands if we don’t get to Times square till night”

At Times square the terrier still was ahead of the train but going at a greatly reduced pace. “I hope he’ll fall out when he sees daylight at One Hundred and Twenty-eighth street,” sighed the motorman.
