The stage used to leave the Fulton ferry, pass through Flatbush, Flatlands and Graves end and thence by the shell road to Coney Island, goin\u2019 once a way each day, and chargin\u2019 each way fifty cents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; People, however, thought the Coney Island stage was first class, till the steamboats began, and then there were no more stages. The first steamboat that ever made a trip to Coney Island was the old <em>Proprietor<\/em>, a little better than a tug, just forty years ago. The next year two other steamboats, such as they were, the <em>American Eagle<\/em> and the <em>Ion<\/em>, began to make excursions, and the Coney Island steamer trip became the regular thing, developin\u2019 a sharp opposition between the various steamboats, each of whom employed its \u201crunners,\u201d who hated each other mortally, in the way of business, and made things very lively on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of these Coney Island excursion boat runners were very old characters, in their way. One of \u2018em, called Dandy Garvin, was a sort of early \u201cdude,\u201d quite an exquisite in appearance. He did the \u201cmoral suasion\u201d line of business, tried to \u201cpersuade\u201d people by his plausible talk to take his boat, and never resorted to violence, unless some other runner tried violence. Then Dandy Garvin would \u201ctake off his coat and roll up his sleeves\u201d and give the other runner all the violence he wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another runner was named Bush and was once a comic singer. He was the \u201cfunny man\u201d among the runners. He claimed to be a brother of Frank Bush, the comic actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jack Ebbetts was a good deal on the Dandy Garvin suave line of business, only not so ugly or so much of a dandy. He was very good at \u201cchin music,\u201d and generally devoted himself to the women of a party. He would get in a word of flattery about some woman&#8217;s eyes, or face, or dress, and then of course the woman was bound to take his boat, and the men folks had but to submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chamberlain, now of the Union Square Theatre, was once a steamboat runner and a very good one. John Morrissey tried his hand once at running for a Coney Island excursion boat, but got disgusted, and confined himself after that to runnin\u2019 for the North River boats. Mike Norton, now Justice Norton, was at one time, I believe, a steamboat runner. Among the old time \u201crunners\u201d was Denny Galvin, who in his day has tried almost every excursion line that goes out of New York. He tried the Fort Lee boats, the Albany boats, the Coney Island boats and the boats for the fishin\u2019 banks. With the last he made out the best, for he was an enthusiastic fisherman himself, and knew just how to entice fishermen, or would-be fisherman, to his particular boat, promisin\u2019 \u2018em all sorts of tackle and all sorts of fish. And then, to make his promises good, he would get on the boat after it started. And when it got to the fishin\u2019 banks he would take a hand at the lines and show others how to catch fish by the best possible method, i.e., by catchin\u2019 \u2018em himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Once a man fell overboard and Dennis jumped in after him and saved the man, just in time to save himself from a shark. The shark, as it was, nearly got a piece of Dennis&#8217;s leg, as he was hauled up, with the man he had saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mike O&#8217;Brien is one of the veteran \u201crunners,\u201d so is Harry Cochrane and Owen Gannon. Owen claims to be a brother, I believe, of the lamented Mary Gannon, of Wallack\u2019s, and is at present shoutin\u2019 for an Iron Pier boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tom Flynn was one of \u201cthe pickers up\u201d in the business. Tom wouldn&#8217;t hesitate to bodily pick up a man and run him into any boat he was \u201crunnin\u2019\u201d for. Sometimes if the frightened would-be excursionist would try to escape Tom would give him chase, and a very lively scene would ensue, amusin\u2019 to everybody but the chased man, who would sometimes be scared for his life, and for the man chasin\u2019, who was always dead in earnest for his man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But there has been even more change in the accommodations at Coney Island than there has ever been in the way of gettin\u2019 to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nobody thinks of the old Oceanic Hotel now. Ninety-nine out of every hundred pleasure Seekers at Coney Island don&#8217;t even know there is such a house, yet time was when it was to Coney Island what old Union Hall was to Saratoga. All the best families boarded there, and had a very good time boardin\u2019 there, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"561\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oceanichotel.jpg?resize=561%2C345&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oceanichotel.jpg?w=561&amp;ssl=1 561w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oceanichotel.jpg?resize=300%2C184&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Oceanic was originally the Coney Island House, but as that sounded too \u201croad house-y\u201d for the permanent boarders the name was changed. Charles Rogers used to manage it, and for years made a big thing of it. Then he retired and lived in New York at ease awhile, till he was murdered under circumstances which have been elsewhere narrated in these reminiscences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Grinnells used to stop at the Oceanic with Rogers. So did the Griswolds, the Rhinelanders and other of the old families. A great many Southern families of wealth patronized the place, bringin\u2019 their slaves with \u2018em. The table was simply superb, and people could get a better dinner then and there for one dollar than they can get anywhere on Coney Island now for five dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Oceanic was puffed a good deal in the papers, too. Old Bennett stopped there several summers, and wrote it up, and Mrs. Bennett was a great admirer of the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In those days there was an old merchant, hailin\u2019 from New York, named Gilbert Davis, who was very fond of Coney Island, and all the time suggestion\u2019 plans for its improvement. He was always prophesizin\u2019 the future greatness of the place, basin\u2019 his prophecies on two simple points which nobody could gainsay, the rapid growth of New York and the proximity of Coney Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One evening, in joke, on the piazza of the old Oceanic, somebody proposed that such a great place as Coney Island was goin\u2019 to be couldn&#8217;t be without a ruler; Mr. Davis should be elected Governor. The idea took immediately, ballots were deposited, a formal vote taken, and Gil Davis was unanimously elected Governor of Coney Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He held the title to his dyin\u2019 day, was very proud of it, and Old Whykoff&#8217;s tavern, where he boarded, was after that christened the Governor&#8217;s Mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Old Whykoff, \u201cUncle John,\u201d was the original tavern keeper of Coney Island, starting the first place of entertainment there over sixty-five years ago. This tavern was a mere shed, and was carried away, every stick of it, by a tidal wave. All the native animals on the island were also carried away by this tidal wave. There are plenty of animals on the island still, but they go there on two legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Two of the original Whykoff family still survive, and one of \u2018em, a widow, Mrs. Green, keeps a tavern there still. But all that&#8217;s left of the original Coney Island is this one old woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I went down, along with thousands of my perspirin\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,41,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brooklyn","category-hotels","category-steamboats"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Coney Island &quot;Runners&quot;
