 situation, and having the first choice took the first pick of twenty seats for his patrons, and he had assigned his remaining orders, of
 which there were many, to members of his firm in the rear. Agent No. ?, boy, then made his choice, and in this way several hun dred seats were selected. The wholesaling over with, the line began to diminish more rapidly. Prof. Thomas Shepard presid- ed at the diagram, Mir. Mayer, MT. Abbey's outside manager, in attendance. Nearly
 one hundred and fifty S3 seats in the par quette were sold before any others in other parts of the house were called for. Business was lively for three hours. The special sale closed at about 1 o'clock. At about 12 Mir

 of the sale was that the receipts were all in
 greenbacks, excepting about $10 received in hard money At o'clock the sale was trans- ferred to the usual place down stairs in MT.

 been selling, and finding nothing but empti- ness they made raid on the diagram in the store There was over g., ,000 taken at the special sale, and thereafter there was quite steady call for seats. As the special sale closed there was but one of the one-do1lar seats sold, the three-doIlar seats being all the rage.
