BOUT THE FUST THING I SEEN THAR WAS A PLACE WHAT THEY CALL SHOOT THE SHOOTS IT LOOKED LIKE A BIG HORSE TROUGH STOOD ON END ONE END IN A DUCK POND AN T'OTHER END UP IN THE IRON AND THEY WOULD HAUL A BOAT UP TO THE TOP AND ALL GET IN AND THEN COME SCOOTIN DOWN THE HOSS TROUGH INTO THE POND
 I started out for Coney Iland. Settin' right along side of me in the keer wuz an old lady, and she seemed sort of figity 'bout somethin' or other, and finaly she sed to me "mister, do these cars stop when we git on the other side of the bridge?" I sed, wall now if they don't you'll git the durndest bump you ever got in your life. Wall we got on the other side, and I got on one of them tra-la-lu cars what goes down to Coney Iland. I give the car feller a dollar, and he put it in his pockit jist the same as if it belonged to him. Wall, when I wuz gittin' purty near thar I sed, Mister, don't I git any change? He sed, "didn't you see that sign on the car?" I sed, no sir. Wall he sez "you better go out and look at it." Wall I went out and looked at it, and that settled it. It sed "This car goes to Coney Iland without change." Guess it did; I'll be durned if I got any. Wall we got down thar, and I must say of all the pandemonium and hubbub I ever heered in my life, Coney Iland beats it all.
