GRAND OPENING OF A. G. SPALDING & BROS'. NEW YORK HOUSE.

ABOUT two months ago it began to be whispered around among sportsmen that the well-known house of A. G. Spalding & Bros., of Chicago, were about to open a New York store, and ever since there has been con­ siderable curiosity expressed among dealers and individuals interested in otit-door sports as to its location, the manner in which it would be fitted up, &c. Their Chicago house was burned out last October, and the very elegant and tasteful manner in which that store has been refitted since the fire has caused much comment among the sportsmen of the West, and Chicagoans are especially enthusiastic of their model sporting goods establishment. The announcement of the firm that they intended to fit up their New York house in the same manner as their Chicago house has been fully verified, for it was the unanimous opinion of the many sports­ men that attended their opening on Wednesday, April 1st, that the Messrs. Spalding had a correct idea of what was demanded by the devotees of sport, and had given New York one of the handsomest and most attractive sporting goods establishments in the country. If the character and number of the visitors that called on them on their opening day is any indication of the success of their new venture, surely they should feel highly gratified, for a larger and more representative congregation of gentlemen sportsmen have seldom been seen at one time than thronged 241 Broadway on this opening ADV~P-ns.ING BEPiETXEXT. day.

BICYCLE DEPARTMENT.

WIGWAM. The Messrs. Spalding have shown good business judgment in selecting a location so convenient far down •/"' I town business men, and their place on Broadway opposite City Hall Park, and just one block north of the Astor House is probably the most central and best location they could have selected in New York. The main floor with the office in the rear is entirely demoted to their retail department, and the light cherry counters, show cases and wall cases that extend the entire length of the store, which is about one hundred feet deep, together BIIIPFi.NG LEI'AKTMENT. with the displays of fine fishing tackle, guns and miscellaneous sporting goods, make this department very attractive.
