YVUNG GEORGE GOULD.

The young bloods of the stock exchange are waiting with considerable anxiety for the first appearance of MT. George Gould among them. MT. Gould, who is the cid est son of the king of Wall street, within the past week purchased seat in the eX- change, paying for it $25, ,OOO, and oil Thursday he was put through the exami- nation which everybody has to pass before he can be admitted as a member of that lively mob of old and young boys. Young MT. Gould answered all the questions sat isfactorily. The brokers have fixed up ali exceedingly lively reception for him. It is known that there is no place ln New York where vigorous 9oings on are carrie to such an extent as they are in the stock exchange here. The pulling and hauling to which members are subjected at certain
 periods and under certain clrcumstan ces fully equal anything of the kiud seen in the desperate footb matches of Harvard and Yale. The other day, when c. P.
 Huntington became a mnmber he w::lkt q down to the door of the board room and started to go in, but one of the brokers in the center of the fio;r yellfd, ''Tbtre he is P and the others set up instantly such a terrific shout that Mr. Huntington stop ped in smay a1d went over to his office.
 he has not yet appeared personally upon the floor, bee use he is afraid Of his lniti- atiou Ic Is, however, unlikely that he would he much hurt, uS the brokers, with all their roughness and tomfoolery, are not likel v to do any selious damage to an old gentle nan like him. With you lg Mr.
 Gould 1t is different. He has alwa, S prlded himself upon being an athlete, il d he is likely to make very interesting tus. sle with the first one OF two of the brokers who jump upoA him with view If givit g hlm his Inltianon to he board Th-5 eLd of it will be, of mtse, that, after com,
 considerable wrestling and knocking about, young MT. Gosttt and his assoc ates wi l cure their bruises with internal applicst- ttons of al txhllaratllg, If nOt exactly
 soothing, nature MT. Geo ge Gould is regard d IS a man of great promise by
 peop'e who have watcned him during lie
 past two or three years. 1t ls s i'd, indeed,
 that he iAher.ts much of the great ii .aL- cial ability of his father, and that he is
 ti5 to step into tue old geutleman's shoes ], whichever that parsonage may arrive at the
 conclu>ion that the time for his retirement has come. Tbere Is a wide diff rerc. b.
 tween te younger generation of Gould and the pre-eut set If Vanderbilts. The sons of the New York Central millionaire are give, t. sl :shlrG abon a.li cnt ing , 5 great dash ill I'll direc ions. They dril inortii'Iately of cnalnpagDe, they carry their he'd, very i,iyi, a4d th.r genera

 mortuls.
 l Mr. Goulds children are howe yer, al
 of them exceedingly quiet and refiued f They all have the deep ul.ve complexion and flashing black eyts of their father
 whose unostentatious methods of life ars s adopted also by them Mr. George Gould : parent, and the two are constant compan e ions.

 the dips and plunges of the market. Two t or three tim. $ a week l run scross fathe
 and son in the theaters. Both of the n are much attached to operatic entertiill S m4nts, ard almost every night of the reg1 G ular season they eau be found at the Me
 tropolitan. On the off nights one is ap
 to catch them at some farcical enterfaii
 ment. Mir. Jay Gould is generally looked Il upon as saturnine parsonage who wh
 finds no joy in anything that strikes othe @ people as being highly humorous. Thi s Is wholly mistaken view of his character '. He laughed almost necessarily at Mesta, j. CTS ridiculous piece called ''We, Us
 O., /" and have seen him vocifero,lsly ap y plaud the comicalities of Harry Dixey il D ssAdoniS." MT. Washington Connor, wh' :- is MT. Jay Gould's partner, told me no t long ago that he believed George Goul'
 would develop into tina ncier at le st a 0 brilliant and daring as the pres ent swar h t genius of Wall street. The first forma
 appearance in the stock market will l. y made iu connection with the post he ha t just purclaspd in the exchange. Whel e asked c ,ncerning hi, private fortune b. . the committee charged with investigating e his application, he set the sum down a !, $50. .OG0. Young Gould has speculate s good deal of his own hook in the street
