Irvine, and after having been bulletined
for the required time, the matter was acted
on by the Executive Committee on Tues
day night last He was blackballed. 1t
was not an accidental result, because 1t is
said the black balls exceeded the white
balls in number. The Riding Club is a
fashionable uptown association of gentle
men, with a handsome house at No.
East Fifty-eighth street. 1t was organized
in January, 1888, to succeed the Gentle
mems Riding Club, and among its 400 and
odd members are many prominent Wall
street brokers, bankers, Union Club mem-
bers Knickerbockers, University, St. Mich
olas and Union League men. There are
various theories as to why the Mayor was
blackballed. According to one of these it
was in consequence of his connection with
the mythical contract business " of Grant
& Ward. Another theory attributes it TO
the influence of Union Club men in the
Riding Club. Mayor Grace's brother,
Michael P. Grace, was blackballed in the
Union Club somewhat more than year
ago.
The HellO!" Business Suspended.
ROCHESTER,, November 21st-The fight
between the Telephone Company and the
subscribers came to a practical issue at
noon yesterday, when the subscribers hung
up their instruments to await further de-
velopments. One hundred and fifty more
names were added to the list of striking
subscribers, making nearly 800 who have
joined the organization. Less than 200 re-
main, and these are in outside residences
mostly. No one doubts that the company
will be forced to make compromise. The
opposition is to change in the tariff OF
rentals which the Telephone Company
wishes to introduce in this city. The
old rate was from $50 to $50 pei
year for the use of each instru-
ment. The new tariff charges at the
rate of $50 for 500 messages, and proper
tionate rate for each additional message
As soon as the new tariff was made known
the subscribers organized a protective asso-
citation, and as far as can be learned nearly
all pledged themselves to stop using the
instruments at noon yesterday. The only
business places using bells last night were
one or two telegraph Offices and cab Of
fee. Many instruments are draped in
morning, or boxed, and have on them such
inscriptions as Gone to join the angels,
Down with monopolies," etc.
