He had been here some few years and
the city was thriving. So John wrote
to his brother Thomas at Manchester.

his fortunes. Thomas accordingly emf

with the members OF the theatrical
profession not only in this city but in
Philadelphia and Boston. Those three
were the only cities then in which the
atrical performances had met with re-
sponsive public favor. II was owing
to its popularity with the theatrical
profession that Thomas Hodgkinson
called his place the Shakespeare. From
that day on its patrons grew In num-

Business was so prosperous for
Thomas, in fact. hat In the year 1908
he was DESTROYS OF charging or ex-

of Thomas Harvey to rent the building
at the southwest corner Of Fulton and
Nassau streets, where THE SUN. the
Com merctHl Advertiser and other
newspapers were printed in their
early days, but after the tavern had
vanished. The executors of the prop
erty were loath at 1rst to rent the
place for n public house. but offered
to sell It to Thomas Hodgkinson II

Mr.. Hodgkinson did not have the
means to pay the price demanded and
declined the offer, but ultimately al
arrangement was made and the prop
erty transferred. The price paid for
the corner IA a high figure in those
days. 1t was $4,000. Thomas Hodg.
kinson was required by the terms OF
the sale to pay 81 1000 down in cash
and $4,000 by instalments and the
balance, $l1 900, was to remain on bond
and mortgage. That was the first OF
