SELLING SEATS ON THE STANDS.
FEW TO BE GOT FOR 10 CENTs-PARK BOARD
UNABLE TO CONTROL PRICES ON STANDS
ON Park PROPERTY

FEW TO RE GOT FOR 10 CENTs-PARK BOARD
UNABLE TO CONTROL PRICES ON STANDS
ON Park PROPERTY
The action of the Park Commissioners in grant
ing permits for the erection Of stands containing
30 900 seats on portions OF the Riverside Park has
failed to protect the public from possible extorton
nj the hands OF ticket spectators and owners OF
stands on private property along the route OF the
great parade. No 50-cent seats on the stands can
be got by the public on Tuesday and the demand
for seats is expected 10 be so great that people may
be Obliged to pay g. 81 or s. TO- n seat any
stand II the weather on Tuesday is fine there Is
every to expect that all the stands which
have been erected along the Riverside Drive and
about Grants tomb will not accommodate third
of the people who will want to procure seats.
When the Park Commissioners talked over the
question Of granting permits for the erection OF
stands on park grounds, one OF the Commissioners
said Yesterday they made up their minds that they
would be unable TO prevent the speculation in seats
ON the stands They declined to entertain sug
geston that they receive one-hah OF the tickets
for the stands and have them sold at 10 cents each
TO the public AT the Arsenal in Central Park. They
thought however. that by permitting the erection
OF a number OF stands on park grounds condi-
ton that the builders Of such stands would charge
only 80 cents each for seats. they might help to
bring down the prices OF seats on stands built on
private property. and aid the public In procuring
cheaper seats The Park Board accordingly passed
tain plots on the Riverside Park with the provision
that the builders Of such stands should agree to
depost 10 per cent Of the money which the stands
would yield at 80 cents seat. as security for the
prompt removal OF the stands after Tuesday and
the restoration of the park grounds to their former
condition after the stands removed. Each
builder OF stand park grounds has been
obliged TO make the deposit of money.
In giving out the permits. tho officials used dis
erection. and rejected number OF applications
made by men who wanted to build stands for
purely speculative purposes. As a rule. men who
building stands for clubs and associations
got the preference In the sites. Seats for number
OF the stands parceled out and paid for be-
fore the stands were built. Some OF the builders
sharp enough to get permits for club stands.
have the clubs pay for the stands and have the
seating capacity so large that they could reserve
for themselves n large number OF seats for sale.
Some builders got permits. erected stands. and
then sold out to spectators. Now that the per-
mts have been obtained and the stands are erected.
the Park Commissioners cannot prevent tho sale

COURSlNG COYOTES.

know that holes were scarce in the Ges

was to sit down ard watch the race
for about half an hour, till the coyote

THEIR INGENUITY.
They simply Moved Their Furniture
from One Room to another.

A Chicago family sent a lot Of photo
graphs of their home to some friends in
New York the ether day.
There were exterior and interior
views, all very charming, and the New
Workers took great satisfaction ir
them. 1t had been merely a "traveling
intimacy" with the Chicagoans for a
few weeks in Europe, and it was pleas
ant to find the homes as presentahlc a.
the people. The interior views were
especially delightful, representing as
they did a succession OF beautiful
rooms. filled with handsome rugs,
chairs, lamps and other evidences Of
civilization
ideally, ! should never have supposed
that they had such luXuries SO far
west" said the Oldest Miss Manhattan,
as she porcd over the picture labeled
''drawiug-room." "What lovely white
bearsliin! And this swinging lamp and
those two dear old carved chairs! !
Eever saw anything just Ike them be-
fore. They must be old family pieces"
There's a lovely white hearslln RUG
here, too" remarked the second Mss
Manhattan, gazing at a photograph
marked "library." "Yes, ard a swing
ing lamp also, and two dear old carved
chairs of a shape that ! never saw be-
fore"
There are two dear old, queer
shaped, carved chairs in the dining
Goom," said the third sister, from her
photograph. "Why, here's q swinging
lamp too. Yes-and-wcll. now, that'-
what | call queer--a white bearskin.
The three sisters looked at each other
Could it be true? Then they looked
again at the photographs. Yes, it GER
tainly was. Every one of these interior
views. be it of bedroom, hall. draw
ing-room or library, contained the
same white bcarslkin, swinging lamp
and dear old, queer-shaped, carved
chairs.
There was no mistaking them. It was
as plain as day. When they had Their
