Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Arbitration between Suits Galore, Inc., Appellant, and Stone Ridge Knitting Milis, Inc., Respondent.

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, entered May 23, 1975, denying petitioner's application to stay arbitration, unanimously affirmed, with $40 costs and disbursements to respondent. It is clear from the record that petitioner received and retained, without objection, the subject contracts, each containing a broad arbitration clause. Moreover, it also appears that goods were subsequently delivered to and accepted by petitioner, and that the invoices which were issued for each of the shipments contained a reference to the particular contract involved. Under the circumstances, petitioner is bound by the arbitration clauses contained in the two contracts, and the application for a stay of arbitration was properly denied.
