Trinity Church, New York, are not
sold. There has been no sales in hum
dred years. The first sale was early in
the last century, and after the old church
had burned during the revolutionary
war, new church was built, but not
finished until 1885 when there was
second sale that brought from 800 to

the church in time, and in 1916, when
the present building was completed, those
who still owned pews transferred them to
the new church, and now a ground rent
of from $40 to $50 a year is paid on them
Altogether there are 140 pews in the
church, Al of which are free. The lstot
May is the time for rental, and those de-
string to secure pews register their names
with the comptroller and take their
chances in the order the names appear.
