In buying out Oscar Ham- merstein and his son Arthur did not consti- tute illegal restraint of trade was established by t'.ie decision of Supreme Court Justice Pendleton, handed down by blm Saturday, Dec. 6. The Judge further states that the Metropolitan Opera Co. had a good and suf- ficient reason to enjoin any attempt of the Hammerstclns to Introduce grand opera In New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia, in violation of the agreement entered into by the Ha-mmerstelns, not to present any such entertainment in these cities for a term of ten years from the date of the agreement Oscar Hammcrsteln states that he has transferred his contracts to the Hammer- stein American Opera Company, lately in- corporated at Albany, and that ho will be the director of the company, which will pre- sent opera In Pittsburgh, St Louis, Cincin- nati and other cities, as the contract calls for the exemption of the four cities named, only. Judge Pendleton says In part: That courts of equity will by Injunction enforce restrictive covenants given as an In- cident to the sale of property, business end good wild, within a certain limit, as hereafter pointed out, Is too well settled to require the citation of authorities in Its behalf. The com- plaint adequately sets forth a contract of sale end the covenants sought to be enforced. TLo defendants answered separately end each set up a separate defense.
