A represe NATIVE of the firm of Hancock 4
Co. said he was very well satisfied with things
as they were, but would like to vote for a
bylaw compelling the Exchange to close ut

A member of the firm of G. w. Balch h Co.
said Keep the rule as it is, and don't let
us violate our charter, or we may get into
trouble"
Thomas l.. Gill, of Brown. Gill & Co.,
grain I l am very much opposed to the
amendment. and think most of the boys in
the PIT are. They keep backing. and filing,
but they Will be against it when it comes to a
vote. Just now, when trading is n little
lively, they want more time for their scalp
ing. If they got it, the first hot, dull Satur-
dny that came. they would get up q petition
to close at IL o'clock.
Tom Young. one of the veteran traders of
the wheat pitt am in favor of the amend
ment myself, but l don't think they can get
it through from what / hear of II in the pit.
There are half a dozen | know who are going
to vote against it. l think n good many of
the young fellows will vote against it.
although they dom dare say 80.
Frederick Dare, Of Armour IL Co., grain-I
shall vote against the amendment because l
think 1t is against the charter, and don't want
openly, violating the law. Personally, I
would be in favor OF a whole holiday Satur-
days for three months in the year.
W. A. Trafton-You can't get many of the
boys to cut of their half holiday at this sea-
son af the year.
Henry knoop, representing foreign houses
i shall cast my vote against the proposed
amendment. Tit foreign markets all close
long before ours, and it doesn't make any
difference to me or to the representatives Of
any other foreign houses whether we close at
IL or 2 o'clock. Outside of that, l think the
boys and clerks ought to get their half holt
day, and | shall do what | can to see that it
is not taken way from them.
A prominent member, who did not want
his name used, said-This amendment is only
popular with the men here who, you might
say. carry their offices around in their hats.
| believe hey would be in favor of coming
down here on Sunday to scalp. and would do
SO if they weren't afraid of being arrested.
Anothe, member, who refused to give his
name, said THE EVENING WORLD petition
that was sent up from here requesting the

Edwin Rowe, wheat broker-I am against

its observance. I don't think it will b,
carried.

WHAT THEY WANT.

The cry is now raised that Mr.. BLAINE will
name the candidate, and that the nominee
will be what is distinctly known as "a
BLAINE man."
This might be true if the Republicans
were still in power. As they have tasted the
sweets of retirement for four years and are
now in o fair way to be as effectually BAN
ished from the Federal Offices as the Demo
Gratis were for twenty-f -four years prior to 1884,
the Republicans will probably look for a nom
inee who will be the most likely to unite the
party. They will wan q candidate who
stands o chance of carrying Indiana and
Connecticut, Indiana and New Jersey, or
New York, besides keeping all the Western
Republican States in line.
There will be no BLAINE and anti-BLAINE

A Much Involved Theatrical Case.

j. NJ. Hill, the theatrical manager, appeared
before Judge Lachman yesterday to testify In de-
Tense Of the title OF Henry X. Jacobs to The lease
Of the Third Avenue Theatre in a suit for eject
ment brought by Augustus II. Lane. who received
an assignment Of the lease from Charles A. Ste
venson last April. Mr.. Stevenson secured the
lease from Mr.. aud Mrs. Mckee Rankin in 1884,
and executed a mortgage which was subsequently
ira nsferred to Andrew j. Dam, who later became
a partner with Mr.. Hill in carrying on the theatre.
Mr.. Hill testified to his sale OF his rights In the
property to Mr.. Jacobs. He said he had
undertaken the management of the Third
Avenue Theatre with extreme reluctance upon the
earnest solicitation OIL /. Dam, and that he took
the earliest opportunity of getting 1t of his hands,
as his time was already fully engaged In directing
his other properties. Mt. Stevenson testified as
10 his tenancy, and maintained that he was still the
bona nde lessee Of the theatre. Lawyer Hummel
represented Messrs. Hill and Jacobs and Messrs.
Hartman q Fessenden the petitioner. Judge Lach-
man reserved his decision until next week.
