AN OLYMPIAN SYNDICATE.
EneliShmen Are Trying to Buy
BammerS.eii.'s Theater.


New York. Lee. 25.-There is every prr.s.
pect today that Hammerstein s Olympia will
pass iI.tG the hands OF an English syndicate
Representative es of this big a n lsem ant
syndicate, whlch already controls several
of the largest music halls in London, are
here. and that the place will pass into tn cir
hands is practically assured.
The negotiations have been progressing
with much priv acy and clever busi lass III
plomacy on both sides, but when the Eng
lish visitors and Mr.. Hammerstein and his
legal representatives, MI. Wise, of Wise &
Lichtanstein, arose from Il piOtra Ct G. n eet-
ing Yesterday. the matter was as good as
settled.
The gentlemen who haze done the nego-
tiating for their London principals have
advans ed their view of the situation skill
fully; / ut they have been met with equal
clevernesS on the part of Mr.. Hammer
stein, wc is by no means a bad hand at
driving bargain.
MI. Hammerstein, who is keen ob-
server of the business end of an amusement
scheme, las long been convinced that it is
impossible to run a tremendous affair lik,
this S.,oOO,000 music hall and theater
unless it were CONDUCTED ,by largely cap
italized corporation, ready, financially, to
tide over the unprdfitatile periods which
occur every now and then.
On beth sides there seems to be lis
position To carry it through withodt hair
splitting over minor details, and the formal
agreement Will doubtless be shortly an.
nounced.
The plan Is not only to take Olympia
Music Fall, but the entire building, and
produee in il the baIIets that have made
the Leicester Square house famous, and
send over in quick succession the best peo-
pie from the London stage, together with
