YOUNG GoULD's FIRST APPEARANCE.

YOUNG GoULD's FIRST APPEARANCE.
On the S.och EschGnDe-Tnitiated by the
Brokers iss Great Shape
New York Special.
There was one hat less in Wall street yes-
terday. The hat was a brand new one 1t
was brought down town with George j.
Gould, the son and heir of Jay Gould. The
hat was derby OF the newest pattern. and
young Gould was sorry to lose it but there
was 10 escape. He had received notice of
his election as a member of the stock ex-
change and his partner, Wash Conner, told
him that there was nothing left for him to do
but to boldly enter the board room and sub
nit to the rough and tumble initiation at the
hands Of the brokers. Young Gould ran
sacked the office for an old hat, but could
find Zone, and so, placing the new derby on
his head, he walked nervously over to the
exchange, in company with Wash Connor's
brother, E. S. Conner, who is also member
of the board. In fact, it was
ALL A DIABoLICAL SCHEME
on the part of Washington o. Conner to des.
stroy that hat. He wears a derby himself
and was madly jealous of his young partner
new purchase. His revenge was sweet whet
he saw young Gould return from the ex-
change bareheaded, followed by the hat
borne to its owner by sympathetic brokers
but minus the rim and the symmetry of it
crown departed forever. The heartlessnes
of the revenge is made the more apparent
when it is known that as soon as young
Gould started for the exchange Conner sem
message to all the brokers' with whom he
has dealings, the message reading like this;
George has started for the board. Make il
warm for him. The brokers were therefore
prepared for the young Mllionaire's en-
trance. George, at first, repaired to the sec.
retary's room and signed his name to the roll
of membership. He then Received secretary
Ely's congratulations and the assurance that
''You can now enter the board, Mr.. Gould"
After study of the situation, it was decided
that the entrance could best be made from
the central New street door, and this was de-
termined upon. Meanwhile, Morosini, the
elder Gould's secretary and body guard, sta
toned himself on the gallery to witness the
reception. The hour was 1:15.
AN ExPECTANT HUSH
fell on the board room, and there were send-
nels at every door to give the alarm. Then
the young man entered. His fathers face
has been caricatured from one end of the
country to the other, but Georges face is un
familiar. He is short, like his father, but
his form is erect and muscular, and his carri-
age quick and decisive. His complexion is
dark and his eyes black and piercing. lie
was dressed neatly in a business suit his
cutaway coat being buttoned to the chin. He
had not stepped one foot in the board room
before member rushed at him and grasp
ing his hand, gave him welcome that must
have surprised him, prepared as he had been
for hot reception Fifteen seconds after
his entrance he was surrounded by a wild
crowd Of hooting brokers all bent on shaking
his hand. Every shake was accompanied by
pull forward that sent him headlong into
the arms Of another member, who would
shove him violently backward. He was thus
passed from broker TO broker without a mo-
ment's breathing spell. His hat was sent
flying into the air, and when it descended It
was caught by some broker who jammed it
down on Mr. Gould's head till the rim reached
the nose. Dick Halstead took the new mem
Der in his arms and swung him around in a
circle, his heels in the air. J. o. Stephens
and Albert King, both members of sixteen
years. standing, were also promlnentin
THE ATTENTIONS TO YOUNG GOULD.
All this took place in two or three minutes;
then change was made in the program.
The new broker was dragged rather than con-
Quoted TO the rostrum, where he was intro
duced to ViceChairman Henriques, who had
been Witnessing all this infraction of the
rules through the cracks Of his fingers Then
the brokers again surrounded the new MEM
Der. He was placed in the center Of great
ring, where he was subjected TO all sorts Of
pranks. A messenger boys cap was placed
on his head. Bogus kilograms were brought
to him and mock orders TO buy and sell were
placed in his hands. While all this was eo-
ing on Morosini stood in the gallery laugh
ing gleefully at the scene below. A broker
on the floor caugbta glimpse of him and
raised the cry: "Catch ON TO the gallery"
Soon some score Of brokers were yelling at
Morosini, and Maj. Quincy shouted to bin
to come down and assist in the initiation
But Morosini was too old a bird TO be caught
in such trap, and he wisely remained 1T
his post Of safety. After some ten or ffteen
minutes Of this kind Of initiation, Young
Gould saw on opening, and quick as light
ming, shot thr ough the ranks Of his tormen-
tors and with hop, skip and jump es-
capped through the Wall street door. He
took his initiation kindly, and in manly
way. He
LAUGHED GOoD-EATUREDLY
at the pranks played upon him, and when he
left, the brokers all said: s'He's no snob,
be Is good fellow, don't you know" The
fact is, however, that young Gould got Of
lightly His initiation had more Of show
than substance in IT, and It Is an illustration
Of the unconscious homage that all mankind
pays to wealth that this heir TO SO, 900. 900
left the exchange with the hapless hat, while
the possessor Of s75, 900 would very likely
have been stripped Of his coat.
