STOCK EXCHANGE HISTORY.
The Old Boards Rival Put Out of
Business by Panic.

In 1912 the New York Stock Ex-
change moved to the new Merchants
Exchange, bounded by Wall and Will
lam streets, Exchange place and Han
over street. This building after
ward became the Custom House, and
now is the home of the National City
Bank.
The exchange leased a large hall
on the William street side. Seats
we're arranged around long table
forming hollow square, says
Moody's Magazine, and at each side
of the room, on raised platform, a
number of separate desks were
placed for members.
The members in those DAYS
adorned themselves with swallow
tailed coats, high stocks around their
necks, finished with tall chimney not
hats, very fashionable in those days.
In the heat of market excitement
this superficial array very frequently
became badly disarranged and was
not infrequently discarded alto
gether.
In the same Merchants Exchange
building rival body of brokers
known as the new board or bourse
held daily. sessions. This new board
had its birth about 1885, and had
been organized as a competitor. of
the old board, but the panic of 1897
had hit the members pretty hard and
crippled their finances so severely
that their fighting strength had van
ished. AS a result in 184S the new
board passed into ancient history. all

LINcoLN'S DOUBLE.
Daniel WaIford's Strong Resemblance
to the Martyred President.


Daniel WaIford's Strong Resemblance
to ths Martyred President.
Daniel Walford. who recently died
at the home Of his daughter In New
York city, in his younger days bore a
remarkable resemblance to Abraham
Lincoln.
Mr.. Walford, who was eighty-sIx
years old, was born In Worcestershire,
England, and was six feet two and a
half Inches tall. He had the same
slightly STOPPING shoulders and large
frame, the same melancholy eyes and
sad but winning smile that the mar
tyred president had. His mouth was
strikingly similar to Lincoln's.
Mr.. WalfOrd was an ardent supporter
OF the temperance cause all his life.
Once In 1854 he was delivering a lee
ture In the Bowery mission, at New
York, on this subject when some one
Informed him that "his brother" was
In the back Of the hall. This brother"
turned out to be Abraham Lincoln,
who. being on a visit to New York.
had gone to the mission with friends.
When the two men met Lincoln said,
"Walford. you couldn't look any more
like me unless you were me-"
They became fast friends. the friend
ship continuing until the presidents
death. President Lincoln gave Mr..
Walford a model Of his hand. which
the latter carefully preserved.
