THIRD STOCK MARKET.
Produce Exchange Members Have the
Project in Hand.

NEW YORK, December GA third stock
market in New York city may be the out
| come of movement on foot among Produce
Exchange members which is to come before
the board of managers at their meeting on
Monday.
of special committee appointed by the
officers of the exchange, contemplates
the organization of a new branch of the
exchange for dealing in securities AS far
as the plans have gone this branch of
the produce exchange will differ from
the consolidated exchange in that it will
trade in stock not. listed on the stock
exchange, and will differ from the curb
ties to which no stocks will be admitted
until after careful investigation by the
proper authorities
There are large number of the stocks
or well-known industrial corpora tons,
chief among them the Standard Oil Com
pany, which are not listed on the stock
exchange and which are traded in only
on the curb market. This market has
ways avoided anything like a regular Or
ganization to escape the displeasure of the
stock exchange authorities who have a
hard and fast rule prohibiting their men,
bers from any connection with an outside
exchange Most of the curb brokers are
employees of stock exchange houses, or, at
least, get most of their business from such
firms
If the produce exchange adopts the
project. which is said to have the ap-
proval of a large proportion of the MEM
bership, and adds stock trading to the
exchanges activities, it is considered a
certainty in Wall street that the stock ex-
change will Immediately retalliate by cut
ting off the produce exchange wires of
stock exchange members
Last spring when it was proposed to
rent to the consolidated exchange part of
the floor space in the big building at
Bowling Green the Little Board was
kept out largely by the opposition of the
stock exchange element in the produce
exchange. Since then there has been a
new set Of officers elected, which is not
inclined to be subservient to the stock
exchange interests
President Douglas of the produce ex-
change said yesterday that the proposal to
introduce stock trading on the exchange
would be decided entirely according to the
wishes of the members
I'VE have always been on the friendliest
terms with the stock exchange" he said, |
but at the same time we are running our
own exchange"
Another project which the new admins |
tration of the produce exchange is con- |
sidering is the Enlistment of q public i
restaurant on the Whitehall street side of |
the building. At present the exchange |
maintains a lunch counter, but 1t is |
thought that with the completion of the |
new custom house there will be field for /
q more pretentious eating place in the |
building

Caused by Legal Troubles.

Mr.. Cassatt's withdrawal from the turf
was caused by the legal troubles connected
with racing during the closing years of old
Monmouth Park A controversy arose be-
tween the Monmouth Park Racing Asso-
citation and the New Jersey authorities.
and enemies of the association instigated
the arrest of President Cassatt on tech
meal grounds. Very soon afterWard Mr..
Cassatt retired from the turf.
Mr.. Cassatt was formerly active in the
management of the board of control, which
was the predecessor of the Jockey Club
AS a breeder and importer Of hackneys
Mr.. Cassatt was as enthusiastic as any Of
the rich men who have given that industry
attention He imported the famous horse
Cadet at a reputed cost of $4,000 winning
Philadelphia. Mr.. Cassatt was an expert
whip, and up to 1896, in the annual horse
shows in Madison Square Garden, always
drove his own entries
While president Of the Four-in- Hand
Club of Philadelphia Mr.. Cassatt led the
annual parade for several years. Aside
from being a member of the principal and
exclusive clubs of Philadelphia Mr. Cas-
satt belonged to several New York organi-
cations, chief of which are the University
Club, the New York Yacht Club. the Tan
dem Club and the Turf and Field Club.
In sharp contrast to Mr. Cassatts ex-
IRENE unwillingness to assume the duties
of president of the Pennsylvania railroad
was his alacrity, year after year, to accept
the nomination Tor road supervisor of
Lower Merton township. in which his coun-
try residence is situa ted. from the republic
can party.
Mr.. Cassatt, as breeder of horses an
owner of racehorses, and lover of horse
flesh in general, was a firm believer in good
roads, and he looked upon the office Of
road supervisor as highly important one
Indeed so well did he fulfill his duties that
he gave not only fine roads to his town
ship. but indirectly to the adjoining town
ships for once the value of Lower Merion's
macadam highways was recognized other
supervisors were forced by their constitu-
ents into making similar improvements.
Today there finer country roads in
America than those that have resulted from
MIR. Cassatts initiative.
But. despite his good work Mr.. Cassatt
never obtained the road superyisorshiu
without battle with the opposition nomi-
nee. and frequently, when the contest waged
hottest Mr.. Cassltt had to go on the stump
to the assistance of his speilbnding sup-
porters and his record.
AS long as MIR. Cassatt ran for supervisor
just so long every election night republic
cans and democrats alike-toWnsmen and
farmers-woud gather in different halls
in Ardmore. near Haverford, to receive the
returns. Dover Merton township is by
no means small. and the polling places are
scattered and late in getting their re-
turns.
But this mattered not to the voters.

the eastern lines as any official in the serv-
ice. Logically, therefore, the next pres
ident of the Pennsylvania will be James
McCrea.
Pennsylvania management conceded with
the above opinion SO far to say that in
his opinion none of the vice presidents OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company would
be chosen.
Prick as a Probability.
Henry c. Prick, reputed to be the largest
individual holder of Pennsylvania stock,
was chosen a director of the company on
Monday to fill a vacancy, and the report
was sent out from Philadelphia that he
would probably succeed Mr.. Cassatt when
the latter retired under the age limit. The
report was denied the following day by
persons speaking authoritatively for Mr..
Prick. Mr.. Prick, it was said, did not de-
sire the place and would not take it under
any circumstances.
Conversations with men close to Mr..
Prick yesterday left no doubt of the sin
certify of the denial. Not only does he not
wish the place, it was said, but he consd-
ers that his election to it would be very
inadvisable. Mr.. Prick is heavily interested
In coal properties along the road and in the
United States Steel Corporation, which Is
the Pennsylvania best customer. On this
account if for no other reason. his accept
ance of the presidency is considered out of
the question.
The names of George F. Baer, president
of the Reading; F. D. Underwood pres
ident of the Erie. and Oscar G.. Murray,
president of the Baltimore and Ohio were
mentioned by various railroad men as likely
to be considered in the unlikely event of
the choice falling outside the company. But
1t was believed, even by those who made
these suggestions. that the matter was prob
ably already settled. On account of his
contemplated early retirement and his i'll
health Mr.. Cassatt. it is believed, had dis
cussed the question of his successor with
men influential in the company and had
agreed with them on the man best qualified
to complete the great improvements he con-
ceived and advanced.

of grain. The elevation from these was to
be done by the machinery in the existing
houses at this terminal point.
This is one of the urgent improvements
here insisted upon and adopted by Mr.. Cas-
satt.
Calvert Station Problem.
At that same visit the company had in
mind the abandonment of Calvert station.
This was then in a dilapidated and gener-
ally run down and "overworked" condition
Complaints were daily made by those using
It, but nothing was done. Third Vice
President Rea was asked the intention of
the company regarding it. He replied that
1t might be sold to a satisfactory pur-
chaser. He suggested that it could be made
useful to the United Railways Company as
a terminal station for it's electric lines CEN
tering in that vicinity and intimated that
the Northern Central officials would favor
ably consider an offer from that source.
The offer was never made, however. Since
then the station has been somewhat reno
waited. the exterior and interior being
freshened, but the conveniences for the pa
irons of the road have not been otherwise
altered
These proposed improvements are well
understood to have come from President
CaSsatt and are pointed to as an evidence
of his deep interest in Baltimore and his
desire that the company should serve that
city equally as well as other equally impor-

HE LOVED HORSES.
Mr.. Cassatt Was Patron of the Turf
for Years.

Chesterbrook, the great breeding farm,
was Mr.. Cassatt's delight. Here everything
is the best that money and good taste can
suggest. 1t lies in or the edge of the
chester valley, where for generations the
farmers have produced the best butter the
best eggs and, in fact, the best of all things
that go on the table The 700 broad acres
comprising Chesterbrook delight the lover
OF country life. 1t has been aptly called the
Playground Of its owner During Mr..
Cassatts long vacation from railroad work
he became quite patron of the turf. The
celebrated mare, The Bard was a product
OF Chesterbrook Gold Heels, the winner
of the recent Suburban, and other great
racers came from the same place. But
when racing degenerated In New Jersey Mr..
Cassatt severed his relations with the
track and never returned to it, The breed
ing of fine haskney horses is now the fad at
Chesterbrook. Blood will tell and the
axiom is given signal proof by the trophies
these animals take repeatedly at all the
horse shows where they are entered
While horses are supreme upon this farm,
they do not comprise all of the live stock
There is fine herd of Guernseys which
especially attracted the attention of Lord
Charles Russell, late chief justice of Eng
land. while the guest of Mr.. Cassatt at
Chesterbrook The great 1urist told the
superintendent of the place that if his farm
were located anywhere near Mr. Cassatt's
he would certainly take one of the bulls to
place at the head of his own herd There
are two colonial stone houses on the
estate.
First Appearance in 1881.
Mr.. Cassatt's first appearance on the turf
was in 1881, under the name of Mr. Kelso,
which he soon relinquished for his own.
He succeeded the late Mr.. George L. Lor-
Hard as president of the Monmouth Park
Racing Association, being elected to that
office in 1886. He governed the fortunes of
this great racing plant until 1893, when the
property passed into the hands of A. F.
Wolcott and John A. Morris.
AT about the time of his election as presi-
dent of the Monmouth association Mr.. Cas-
satt purchased The Bard, the most famous
horse of his day. This great runner was
the king of three-year- Odds in 1886 and of
the four year-olds in 1887
The Bard won the Coney Island stakes in
1887 and 1883 and the Brooklyn Handicap
in 1888
In the last named year Mr.. Cassatt also
enjoyed the distinction of winning the Sub
urban with Gurus, another great runner
which helped make the red, white and blue
famous. Other good horses which sported
these colOrS were Now Never and Tara
gon.
Shortly after winning the BROOKLYN The
Bard was retired and placed at the head of
Mr.. CasSatts stud at Chesterbrook
Probably the best of his get Is the pres
ent champion four-year- Gold Heels
which has won nearly his every start this
sea Son.
