It wss also roted by tbe Council to ask the Legislature to provide a law which will pre- rent theatre managements from disposing of tbe seats in theatres to simulators or ticket agents other than those In tbe box offices of the thea- tres. The high prices charged by the theatres on tbe day of the Harrard-Yale football gamo caused the eoundiiora to get busy. Tbsmokt (Jno. B.
