The main effort was to provide suit
able board room, where the active
trading is done, and to this end the
architecture has yielded.
The entrance to the exchange from
the main Broad street doors reveals
flights of marble steps to right and
left leading to the floor Of the board
room. Directly ahead are corridors
running through the basement. This
is devoted to the members coat
rooms, to the Offices of the cable and
telegraph companies, and to offices
for use as barber shops, news stands
and so on. In the endorsement are
the rooms for employees, the vaults for
securities, and much Of the costly ma
chinery which serves to light, heat
and ventilate the structure. The ap-
paratus for the latter purposes cost
more than 100000. In the telegraph
and cable Offices are the outlets OF
the pneumatic tube system, which,
with it's branches, taps every room in
the building.
Following the marble steps to the
floor of the board room, immensely is

In the month of April, 1892, the
stock brokers of New York city met
daily under a spreading buttonwood
tree in front of 70 Wall street, and
their peaceful transactions were
watched curiously by the silk-clad
beauties and bewigged beaux whose
homes lined the street. On April %
the present generation Of brokers met
for the first time in the veritable pal
ace which has been built as a fitting
home for the thousand odd securities,
valued in billions of dollars, repre-
senting the material wealth of a ma
ton which has leaped from the mar
row confines of strip along the At
lantic to the coast of the Pacific and
beyond.
The new exchange is built of white
marble and is nine stories high. It's

President Ban Johnson of the Amer
lean league does not think we'll of
sending teams on long southern trips
for spring practice. In this matter
Mr.. Johnson is not alone. Many mag
mates share his convictions on this
subject, though they send their teams
south. They do this simply because
some pro-southern managers set the
pace; the rest follow unwilllngly part
ly not to give the rowing teams any
possible advantage and party to avoid
possible local charges of needless
economy.
The subject has been threshed over
and over again for years without defin-
lite conclusion. All things considered,
however, the value of extended south
ern trips may well be questioned. The
players favor this system, of course,
because it enables them to get into
condition without expense to them
selves. Ii the financial burden fell on
them they would report in such condi.
ton that southern training trips
would be entirely needless.
In all fairness players should re-
