                CHEMUNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
                                      
            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Chemung Financial Corporation, a one-bank holding company, commenced
      operations on June 1, 1985 for the purpose of acquiring all the
      outstanding shares of the Chemung Canal Trust Company, Elmira, NY.  The
      Trust Company's stock was acquired through the issuance of 431,498 shares
      of the Corporation's stock in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of
      interests.

2.    The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect
      all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal
      recurring nature and necessary to present fairly the Corporation's
      financial position as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, results
      of operations for the three and nine-month periods ending September 30,
      1995 and 1994 and changes in cash flow position for the nine-month period
      ending September 30, 1995 and 1994.

3.    Net income per share for the periods presented have been computed by
      dividing net income by 2,089,259 average shares outstanding on September
      30, 1995 and 1,899,280 average shares outstanding on September 30, 1994.

4.    The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 114 Accounting
      by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan as amended by Statement 118,
      Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income and Disclosure. 
      These statements prescribe recognition criteria for loan impairment,
      generally related to commercial type loans, and measurement methods for
      certain impaired loans and all loans whose terms are modified in troubled
      debt restructuring subsequent to the adoption of these statements.  A loan
      is considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will be
      unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of
      the loan agreement.

      As of January 1, 1995, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
      114 and SFAS No. 118 and has provided the required disclosures.  The
      effect of adoption was not material to the consolidated financial
      statements.  As of January 1, 1995, the company had no in substance
      foreclosed assets to be reclassified into impaired loan status as required
      by SFAS No. 114.  For all prior periods presented, there were no in
      substance foreclosures to be reclassified.

      As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 114, the allowance for possible
      loan losses related to impaired loans that are identified for evaluation
      in accordance with SFAS No. 114 is based on the present value of expected
      cash flows discounted at the loan's initial effective interest rate,
      except that as a practical expedient, impairment may be measured at the
      loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral for
      certain loans where repayment of the loan is expected to be provided
      solely by the underlying collateral (collateral dependent loans).  The
      Company considers estimated costs to sell, on a discounted basis, when
      determining the fair value of collateral in the measurement of impairment
      if those costs are expected to reduce the cash flows available to repay or
      otherwise satisfy the loans.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114 and
      118, the allowance for possible loan losses related to these loans was
      based on estimated undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the
      collateral, less estimated costs to sell for collateral dependent loans.

      Other real estate owned included only formally foreclosed, and no 
      in-substance foreclosed real properties.  In accordance with SFAS No. 114,
      a loan is classified as an in-substance foreclosure when the Company has
      taken possession of the collateral regardless of whether formal
      foreclosure proceedings have taken place.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS
      No. 114 and SFAS No. 118, in-substance foreclosed properties included
      those properties where the borrower had little or no remaining equity in
      the property considering its fair value remaining equity; where repayment
      was only expected to come from the operation or sale of the property; and
      where the borrower had effectively abandoned control of the property or it
      was doubtful that the borrower would be able to rebuild equity in the
      property.

      At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that are
      considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 totaled $592,243.  Included
      in this amount is $447,941 of impaired loans for which the related
      allowance for credit losses is $247,052.  In addition, included in the
      total impaired loans at September 30, 1995 is $144,302 of impaired loans
      that as a result of the adequacy of collateral values, do not have an
      allowance for credit losses determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114. 
      The average recorded investments in impaired loans during the nine months
      ended September 30, 1995 was approximately $661,164.

      Impaired loans are included in non-performing loans, generally as 
      non-accrual loans.  Commercial type loans past due greater than 90 days 
      and still accruing are generally not considered to be impaired as the 
      Company expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at
      the contractual interest rate for the delinquent period.  The Company had 
      no restructured loans prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114.

      In general, interest income on impaired loans is recorded on a cash basis
      when collection in full is reasonably expected.  If full collection is
      uncertain, cash receipts are applied first to principal, then to interest
      income.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 the Company recognized
      interest income on those impaired loans of $8,007 which included $5,328 of
      interest income recognized using the cash basis method of income
      recognition.

6.    Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair
      value of identifiable assets acquired, is being amortized over 15 years on
      the straight-line method.  Deposit base intangible, resulting from the
      purchase of deposits by the Corporation's subsidiary from the Resolution
      Trust Company in 1994, is being amortized over the expected useful life of
      15 years on a straight-line basis.  Management periodically reviews the
      operating results of these entites to determine that income from
      operations continues to support the recoverability of goodwill and
      amortizations used by the Corporation.  Included in this review are
      operating income, asset quality, franchise value, market potential and the
      continuity of deposit base of the acquired entites.  Likewise,
      amortization periods are monitored to determine if any events and
      circumstances require such periods to be reduced.


Item 2:   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial                 
Condition and Results of Operations

      Consolidated total assets at September 30, 1995 were $497.2 million, an
increase of $2.8 million (0.57%) from the beginning of the year.  This is
within the expectations of management as the Corporation moved to assimilate
the operations of four branches acquired during 1994.  With the loan to deposit
ratio at 54.7% at the beginning of the year, there was little need to
aggressively pursue additional deposits through aggressive interest rate
bidding.

      Loan business, in accordance with the Corporation's plan, continues to be
strong in the commercial and consumer loan areas, which have increased 10.7%
and 11.5% respectively since the first of this year.  We have also seen renewed
strength in 1-4 family mortgage loans, the outstanding balances of which have
advanced 4.5% since 12/31/94.  Total loans at the end of September 1995 were
$253.6 million, up $1 million (0.4%) for the third quarter and $17.1 million
(7.2%) since the beginning of the year.

      Total deposits at September 30, 1995 were $425.2 million, up $4.2 million
(1.1%) from the beginning of the quarter and down $7.1 million (1.6%) from
December 31, 1994.  Average total deposit balances during the quarter were
about $421 million.  The loan to deposit ratio at September 30 was 59.7%.

      The Available for Sale segment of the securities portfolio at September
30, 1995 was $157.2 million, compared to $157.6 million at June 30 and $189
million at the beginning of the year.  Interest rates continued to trend lower
during the quarter.  This, together with an exceptional appreciation in the
common stock portfolio of the Corporation's banking subsidiary caused the
Allowance valuation to increase to $5.1 million at September 30, compared to
$4.9 million at June 30 and $-295 thousand at December 31, 1994.  

      Amortized cost and fair value, maturity duration, and unrealized gains and
losses for the investment security components in each of the available for sale
and held to maturity categories of the investment portfolio are set forth in
the following tables:

  Gross realized gains on sales of securities available for sale as of September
30, 1995 were $334,010.

  Included in the Corporate Stocks component in the above tables are 18,778 
shares of Student Loan Marketing Association ("SALLIE MAE") at a cost basis of 
$6,068 and market value of $1,018,616.  These shares were acquired as preferred 
shares (an exeption to the U.S. Government regulation banning bank ownership of 
equity securities) in the original capitalization of the U.S. Government Agency.
Later, the shares were converted to common stock as SALLIE MAE recapitalized.  
Additionally, at 9/30/95, the banking subsidiary's equity portfolio held 
marketable investments in listed equities totaling $95,060 at cost with a total 
market value of $3,051,075.  These shares were acquired prior to the enactment 
of the Banking Act of 1933.  Other equities included in the bank portfolio are 
9,964 shares of Federal Reserve Bank and 14,813 shares of the Federal Home Loan 
Bank of New York.  They are valued at $498,200 and 1,481,300, respectively.  
Management has no current plans for selling these investments.

  The Owego acquisition, first discussed in the December, 1994 10-K, was
accounted for on a "purchase" accounting basis, a treatment which resulted in a
good will intangible amounting to $2.71 million at 9/30/95.  This intangible is
being amortized on a straight line basis over fifteen years.  The amortization
of good will is an after-tax expense.  During the fist nine months, 
non-recurring expenses associated with the acquisition were approximately $124
thousand.  

  During the quarter, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF") became fully capitalized at the required 1.25% of
insured deposits.  This resulted in an 82% decline in the annualized premium to
$0.04 per $100 insured deposit.  The impact to earnings may result in a $376
thousand reduction in the full year's accrual.  The actual rebate during the
quarter just ended was $253 thousand, $108 thousand of which reduced the third
quarter FDIC expense.  The accrual adjustment decision is complicated by the
House and Senate Banking Committees reported different approaches to
recapitalizing the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which insures
most savings and loan associations, and then merging the two funds.  

  It is probable that there will be a one-time charge to SAIF insured
deposit institutions, which acquired deposits from the Resolution Trust
Company.  Management expects that as much as $36.3 million in SAIF insured
deposits may be subject to a yet to be determined special assessment.  While it
is possible that an assessment could be imposed during 4th quarter 1995, the
event is more likely to occur in 1996.

  During the second and third quarter, the data processing function was
brought in-house from a remote-job-entry system through Mellon Datacenter. 
Estimated non-recurring expenses associated with the project amounted to $370
thousand or approximately the same amount as the reduction in total 1995 FDIC
premiums.  This investment is viewed by management as a technological
requirement for delivering appropriate service to our market at the most
efficient cost.  The annualized reduction in data processing expense is
estimated at $200 thousand.

  Consolidated net earnings for the third quarter of 1995 were $1.334
million, up $59 thousand (4.6%) over the third quarter of 1994.  Net earnings
per share for the quarter were $0.64 vs $0.67, an decrease of $0.03 (4.5%) on
197 thousand additional shares outstanding.  Net earnings for the nine month
period were $3.990 million versus $3.622 (10.14%) or $1.91 vs $1.91 (0.0%) per
share on the additional shares outstanding.  Thus, the earnings per share
dilution is about $0.19 per share or 9.05%.  Management believes that future
cost efficiencies, together with future steady and sustainable growth in the
Owego market will recapture the goodwill associated with the acquisition.

  Proceeds from maturities and sales of securities and student loans
exceeded purchases of securities and loan origination, net of repayments and
other reductions, by $13.6 million during the nine month period.  This compares
to 1994 when the figure was minus $74.5 million.  The 1994 figure, however, was
distorted by the 1/1/94 adoption of FASB # 115 (Mark to market) and allocation
of securities to the available for sale category.  Additionally, in June 1994,
the bank acquired $45.6 million in deposits from the RTC.  This event resulted
in unusually high levels of securities purchases.

  Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to a negative $6.968
million on 9/30/95 compared to a plus $49.4 million a year earlier, when the
purchase of deposits of acquired branches accounted for $45.6 million of the
increase.  Core deposits (demand, NOW, Savings and Insured Money Market
Accounts) decreased $14.6 million while certificates of deposits and individual
retirement accounts increased $7.5 million and $1.7 million respectively. 
During the period, 7,000 treasury shares were purchased at an average price of
$25.57 per share.

  Due to the sustained increase in loan demand, management decided to
increase the loan loss provision to $200 thousand during the first quarter and
continued the allocation in the second and third quarters.  

  The Corporation defines smaller balance, homogeneous loans as consumer
loans, residential mortgages, home equity and credit card outstandings. 
Significant factors impacting management's judgment in determining when a loan
is impaired include an evaluation of compliance with repayment program,
condition of collateral, deterioration in financial strength of borrower or any
case when the expected future cash payments may be less than the recorded
amount.  Commercial loans are placed upon non-accrual status when delinquency
reaches 90 days unless collateral is deemed adequate, while consumer loans are
considered non-accrual at 120 days.  This is due to management's evaluation of
commercial loans as carrying a greater level of inherent risk.

  Management distinguishes between impaired and nonaccrual loans as follows:

  Impaired Loans - A loan which may or may not be current with interest and
  principal payments but of which loan management feels may have to be
  restructured at some point in the future;

  Nonaccrual Loans - Commercial loans that are 90 days delinquent and
  Consumer loans that are 120 days delinquent or an event which occurs that
  would jeopardize the collection of all interest and principal payments.

  At 286% of non-performing loans and 1.59% of total loans, the reserve is
viewed by management as adequate relative to risk.  Non-performing loans at
9/30/95 constituted 0.56% of total loans.

    90 days or more                  $   537        $   354

  (1) It is the Corporation's policy that when a past due loan is referred to legal counsel, or in
  the case of a commercial loan which becomes 90 days delinquent, or in the case of a consumer loan
  (not guaranteed by a government agency) or a real estate loan which becomes 120 days delinquent,
  the loan is placed in nonaccrual and previously accrued interest is reversed unless, because of
  collateral or other circumstances, it is deemed to be collectible.  Loans may also be placed in
  nonaccrual if management believes such classification is warranted for other reasons.
</TABLE>

  At September 30, 1995, the Corporation has no commercial loans for which
payments are presently current but the borrowers are currently experiencing
severe financial difficulties.  Those loans are subject to constant management
attention and their classification is reviewed by the Board of Directors at
least simi-annually.  At September 30, 1995, no loan concentrations to
borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries exceeded 10% of total loans
and the Corporation has no interest-bearing assets other than loans that meet
the nonaccrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loan criteria.

  The core deposit intangible in the amount of $5.44 million at 9/30/95,
which accounts for the premium paid in connection with the acquisition of three
branches from the Resolution Trust Corporation in June of last year, is being
amortized over 15 years for both book and tax purposes. Our actual experience
with the deposit accounts acquired in this transaction is under continuing
review.

  On September 30, 1995, the Corporation's consolidated leverage ratio was
8.17% versus 7.99% on June 30, and 7.51% at the beginning of the year.  The
Tier I and Total Risk Adjusted Capital ratios were 13.61% and 15.12%,
respectively.

  In June of this year, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 ("SFAS # 122") Accounting
for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65. 
This statement amends certain provisions of Statement 65 to eliminate the
accounting distinction between rights to service mortgage loans for others that
are acquired through loan origination activities and those acquired through
purchase transactions.  The Corporation presently recognizes servicing rights
acquired only through loan underwriting transactions and these are not
material.  Adoption SFAS # 122 in 1996 will have no material impact upon its
financial statements.

  

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5.    Other Information

       During the reporting period the board of directors approved an
       amendment to the corporation's bylaws decreasing the number of board
       positions from twenty to nineteen, which action eliminated the

                                   OFFICES

SECTION 1.  Principal Office

  The principal office of the corporation shall be located in the City of
Elmira, County of Chemung and State of New York.

SECTION 2.  Other Offices

  The corporation may also have such other offices, either within or without
the State of New York, as the Board of Directors may from time to time
determine or the business of the corporation may require.

                                 ARTICLE II
                                      
                                Shareholders

SECTION 1.  Place of Meetings of Shareholders

  Meetings of shareholders may be held at such place, within or without the
State of New York, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2.  Annual Meeting of Shareholders

  A meeting of shareholders shall be held annually on such date and at such
place and time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors for the election of
directors and the transaction of other business.

SECTION 3.  Special Meetings of Shareholders

  Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Board of
Directors or by the chairman of the board or by the president.  Such call shall
state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.  Business transacted at
any special meeting shall be confined to the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called.


SECTION 4.  Fixing Record Date

  The Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for
purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or
dissent from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining
shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of
any rights, or for the purpose of any other action.  Such date shall be not
more than fifty (50) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such
meeting nor more than fifty (50) days before any other action.  If no record
date is fixed, the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given
and for all other purposes shall be at the close of business on the day on
which the resolution of the Board of Directors relating thereto is adopted.

SECTION 5.   Notice of Meetings of Shareholders

  Written notice of every meeting of shareholders shall state the place,
date and hour of the meeting and unless it is the annual meeting, indicate that
it is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the
meeting.  Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes
for which the meeting is called.  If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be
taken which would, if taken, entitle shareholders fulfilling the statutory
requirements to receive payment for their shares, the notice of such meeting
shall include a statement of that purpose and to that effect.  A copy of the
notice of any meeting shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than ten
(10) nor more than fifty (50) days before the date of the meeting, to each
shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting.  If mailed, such notice shall be
deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage thereon
prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the record
of shareholders or, if he shall have filed with the secretary of the
corporation a written request that notices to him be mailed to some other
address, then directed to him at such other address.

SECTION 6.  Adjourned Meetings

  When a determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
any meeting of shareholders has been made, such determination shall apply to
any adjournment thereof, unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date
for the adjourned meeting.  When a meeting is adjourned to another time or
place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if
the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting the
corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted on the
original date of the meeting.  However, if after the adjournment the Board of
Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the
adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new
record date entitled to notice.

SECTION 7.  List of Shareholders at Meeting

  A list of shareholders as of the record date, certified by the secretary
or by the transfer agent, shall be produced at any meeting of shareholders upon
the request thereat or prior thereto of any shareholder.  If the right to vote
at any meeting is challenged, the inspectors of election, or person presiding
thereat, shall require such list of shareholders to be produced as evidence of
the right of the persons challenged to vote at such meetings, and all persons
who appear from such list to be shareholders entitled to vote thereat may vote
at such meeting.

SECTION 8.  Quorum of Shareholders

  The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders for the transaction of any
business.  When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not
broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders.  Despite the absence
of a quorum, the shareholders present may adjourn the meeting.

SECTION 9.  Proxies

  Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to
express consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize another person or
persons to act for him by proxy.  Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder
or his attorney-in-fact.  No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of
eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the
proxy.  Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder
executing it, except in those cases where an irrevocable proxy is provided by
law.

SECTION 10.  Inspectors at Shareholders Meetings

  The Board of Directors, in advance of any shareholders meeting, may
appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment
thereof.  If inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding at a
shareholders meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder entitled to
vote thereat shall, appoint inspectors.  If appointed on the request of one or
more shareholders, the holders of a majority of shares present and entitled to
vote thereat shall determine the number of inspectors to be appointed.  In case
any person appointed fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by
appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance of the meeting or at the
meeting by the person presiding thereat.  Each inspector, before entering upon
the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute
the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according
to the best of his ability.  The inspectors shall determine the number of
shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the
meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and
shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and
questions arising in connection with the right to the result, and do such acts
as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all
shareholders.  On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any
shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in
writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and execute a
certificate of any fact found by them.  A report or certificate made by them
shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified
by them.

SECTION 11.  Qualifications of Voters

  Every shareholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of
shareholders to one vote for every share standing in his name on the record of
shareholders.

  Neither treasury shares nor shares held by another domestic or foreign
corporation of any type or kind, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote
in the election of directors of such other corporation is held by the
corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total
number of outstanding shares.

  Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator,
committee, or other fiduciary, except a trustee, may be voted by him, either in
person or by proxy, without transfer of such shares into his name.  Shares held
by a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, only after the
shares have transferred into his name as trustee or into the name of his
nominee.

  Shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by him
without the transfer thereof into his name if authority so to do is contained
in an order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

  A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such
shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, or
a nominee of the pledgee.

  Shares standing in the name of another domestic or foreign corporation of
any type or kind may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the Bylaws of
such corporation may provide or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board
of Directors of such corporation may determine.

SECTION 12.  Vote of Shareholders

  Directors shall, except as otherwise required by law, be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders by the holders of
shares entitled to vote in the election.  Any other corporate action by vote of
the shareholders shall, except as otherwise required by law, these Bylaws or
the certificate of incorporation, be authorized by a majority of the votes cast
at a meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.

SECTION 13.  Conduct of Shareholders' Meetings

  The Officer presiding over the shareholders' meeting may establish such
rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting as the presiding Officer
may deem to be reasonably necessary or desirable for the orderly and
expeditious conduct of the meeting.

SECTION 14.  Shareholder Proposals

  No shareholder shall be entitled to submit a proposal to a meeting of
shareholders unless at the time of submitting the proposal, the shareholder
shall be a record or beneficial owner of at least 1% or $1,000 in market value
of shares entitled to be voted at the meeting, and shall have held such shares
for at least one year and shall continue to own such shares through the date on
which the meeting is held.  A shareholder meeting the above requirements shall
deliver to the secretary of the corporation not later than 120 days prior to
the date on which the corporation's proxy statement was mailed to stockholders
in connection with the previous year's annual meeting, the text of any proposal
which he intends to propose at an annual meeting of shareholders and a notice
of the intention of the shareholder to present such proposal at the meeting.  A
proposal to be presented at any meeting of shareholders other than an annual
meeting shall be delivered to the secretary a reasonable time before the
mailing of the corporation's proxy material.

                                 ARTICLE III
                                      
                                  Directors

SECTION 1.  Board of Directors

  The business of the corporation shall be managed under the direction of
its Board of Directors. 

SECTION 2.  Qualifications of Directors

  Each director shall be at least 18 years of age and shall automatically
cease to be a director on the last day of the month during which he or she
attains the age of seventy-two (72) years.  At the time of taking an office,
each director shall be a stockholder of the corporation owning in his or her
own right, free from pledge, lien or charge, the number of shares of capital
stock of the corporation while each director of a New York bank or trust
company is required to own in such bank or trust company or a holding company
of such bank or trust company by the New York State Banking law.  If a director
shall cease to own the required number of shares, he or she automatically
ceases to be a director of the corporation and his or her office shall be
vacant, and he or she shall not be eligible for re-election as a director for a
period of one year from the date of the next succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders of the corporation.

SECTION 3.  Number of Directors

  The number of directors constituting the entire Board shall be nineteen
(19).  This number may be increased or decreased from time to time by amendment
of these By-Laws, provided, however, that the number may not be decreased to
less than three (3).  No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.

SECTION 4.  Election and Term of Directors

  The directors shall be classified by the Board of Directors with respect
to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly
equal in number for a term of one (1) year, the second class shall be
originally elected for a term of two (2) years, and the third class shall be
originally elected for a term of three (3) years, with the directors of each
class to hold office until their successors are elected and qualified.  Newly
created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors
shall be classified by the Board of Directors when the directorship is created. 
At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, the successors
of the class of directors whose term expire at that meeting shall be elected to
hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in
the third year following the year of their election or until their successors
are elected and have qualified.

SECTION 5.  Nominations for Directors

  Nominations of candidates for election as directors of the corporation at
any meeting of stockholders called for the election of directors may be made by
the Board of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. 
Nominations made by the Board of Directors shall be made at a meeting of the
Board of Directors, or by written consent of directors in lieu of a meeting,
not later than 60 days prior to the date of any meeting of stockholders called
for the election of directors.  The secretary of the corporation shall request
that each such proposed nominee provide the corporation with such information
concerning himself as is required, under the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to be included in the corporation's proxy statement
soliciting proxies for his election as a director.  Any stockholder who intends
to make a nomination at any annual meeting of stockholders shall deliver to the
secretary of the corporation not later than 120 days prior to the date on which
the corporation's proxy statement was mailed to stockholders in connection with
the previous year's annual meeting, or if such nomination is to be made at a
meeting of shareholders other than an annual meeting, a reasonable time before
the mailing of the corporation's proxy material, a notice setting forth (i) the
name, age, business address and residence address of each nominee proposed in
such notice, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee,
(iii) the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned
of record and beneficially by each such nominee and (iv) such other information
concerning each such nominee as would be required, under the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for
the election of such nominees.  Such notice shall include a signed consent of
such nominee to serve as a director of the corporation, if elected.  In the
event that a person is validly designated as a nominee in accordance with the
provisions of this section and shall thereafter become unable or unwilling to
stand for election to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors or the
stockholder who proposed such nominee, as the case may be, may designate a
substitute nominee.  If the secretary of the meeting of stockholders called for
the election of directors determines that a nomination was not made in
accordance with the foregoing procedures, such nomination shall be void.

SECTION 6.  Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies

  Newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of
directors and vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason may
be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less
than a quorum exists.  A director elected to fill a newly created directorship
or a vacancy, shall be elected to hold office until the next meeting of
shareholders at which the election of directors is in the regular order of
business, and until his successor has been elected and qualified.

SECTION 7.  Removal of Directors

  Any director, an entire class of directors or the entire Board of
Directors may be removed from office, with or without cause, only by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of
stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, voting together as a single class.

SECTION 8.  Quorum of Directors

  One-third (1/3) of the entire Board of Directors or seven directors,
whichever number is greater, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business or of any specified item of business.

SECTION 9.  Action by the Board of Directors

  The vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting of the
Board of Directors at the time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such
time, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, these Bylaws or the
certificate of incorporation, be the act of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 10.  Written Consent of Directors Without A Meeting

  Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors or
a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board
or the committee consent in writing to the adoption of a resolution authorizing
the action.  The resolution and the written consents thereto by the members of
the board or committee shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of
the Board or committee.

SECTION 11.  Place and Time of Meetings of Board of Directors

  Meetings of the Board of Directors, regular or special, may be held at any
place, within or without the State of New York and at any time, fixed by the
Board of Directors or by the person or persons calling the meeting.  Such
meetings may be held by means of a conference telephone or similar
communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to
hear each other at the same time.

SECTION 12.  Notice of Meetings of the Board of Directors

  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice if
the time and place of such meetings are fixed by the Board of Directors. 
Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held upon notice to the
directors and may be called by the chairman of the board, the president, the
executive vice president, or any two directors.  This notice shall be given
personally including by telephone or mail, telegram, cable or other public
instrumentality.  If given personally or by telephone, such notice shall be
given not less than 48 hours before the meeting to each director.  If given by
mail, cable, telegram or other public instrumentality, such notice shall be
given not less than five (5) days before the date of the meeting, to each
director.  Such notice shall be deemed given, if mailed, when deposited in the
United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid or, if telegraphed, cabled or
sent by other public instrumentality, when given to the telegraph company,
cable company, or other public instrumentality, directed to the director at his
business address or, if he shall have filed with the secretary of the
corporation, a written request that notices to him be mailed or telegraphed,
cabled or sent to some other address, then directed to him at such other
address.  The notice need not specify the purpose of any regular or special
meeting of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 13.  Interested Directors

  No contract or other transaction between a corporation and one or more of
its directors, or between a corporation and any other corporation, firm,
association or other entity in which one or more of its directors, or officers,
are directors or have a substantial financial interest, shall be either void or
voidable for this reason alone or by reason alone that such director or
directors are present at the meeting of the Board, or of a committee thereof,
which approves such contract or transaction, or that his or their votes are
counted for such purpose:

  1)   If the material facts as to such director's interest in such contract
or transaction and as to any such common directorship, officership or financial
interest are disclosed in good faith or known to the Board or committee, and
the Board or committee approves such contract or transaction by a vote
sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote of such interested
director or, if the votes of the disinterested directors are insufficient to
constitute an act of the Board as defined in Section 9 of this Article, by
unanimous vote of the disinterested directors; or

  2)   If the material facts as to such directors interest in such contract
or transaction and as to any such common directorship, officership or financial
interest are disclosed in good faith or known to the shareholders entitled to
vote thereon, and such contract or transaction is approved by vote of such
shareholders; or

  3)   If the contract or transaction is affirmatively established by the
party or parties thereto to be fair and reasonable as to the corporation at the
time it was approved by the Board, a committee thereof, or the shareholders.

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a
quorum at a meeting of the Board or a committee thereof which approves such
contract or transaction.

  The Board of Directors shall have authority to fix the compensation of
directors for services in any capacity.

  A loan shall not be made by the corporation to any director unless it is
authorized by vote of the shareholders.  For this purpose, the shares of the
director who would be the borrower shall not be shares entitled to vote.

SECTION 14.  Reimbursement and Compensation of Directors

  The directors may be paid their expenses of attendance at each meeting of
the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each
meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director.  No such
payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor.  Members of the executive
committee or other committees may be allowed similar reimbursement and
compensation for their services as such.

SECTION 15.  Executive Committee and Other Committees

  The Board of Directors by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire
Board, may designate from among its members an executive committee and other
committees, each consisting of three or more directors, and each of which shall
have and may exercise such powers as shall be conferred or authorized by the
resolution appointing it, except that no such committee shall have authority as
to the following matters:

  1)   The submission to shareholders of any action that needs shareholders'
       approval;
  
  2)   The filling of vacancies in the Board of Directors or in any
       committee;

  3)   The fixing of compensation of the directors for serving on the Board
       of Directors or on any committee;

  4)   The amendment or repeal of the Bylaws or the adoption of new Bylaws;

  5)   The amendment or repeal of any resolution of the Board of Directors.

  Each such committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board.  The Board
of Directors shall have the power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change
the size or membership of, and to discharge any such committee.

  A majority of any such committee may determine its action and may fix the
time and place of its meetings, unless provided otherwise by the Board of
Directors.  Each such committee shall keep a written record of its acts and
proceedings and shall submit such record to the Board of Directors at each
regular meeting thereof and at such other times as requested by the Board of
Directors.  Failure to submit such record, or failure of the Board to approve
any action indicated therein will not, however, invalidate such action to the
extent it has been carried out by the corporation prior to the time the record
of such action was, or should have been, submitted to the Board of Directors as
herein provided.

                                 ARTICLE IV
                                      
                                  Officers

SECTION 1.  Number

  The Board of Directors may elect a chairman of the board who shall be a
member of the Board of Directors and shall elect a president, one or more vice
presidents, a secretary and a treasurer, who need not be members of the Board

members of the Board of Directors as the Board of Directors may from time to
time deem proper.  Any two or more offices may be held by the same person,
except the offices of president and secretary.

SECTION 2.  Election and Term of Office

  The officers of the corporation to be elected or appointed by the Board of
Directors shall be elected or appointed annually by the Board of Directors at
the first meeting of the Board of Directors held after each annual meeting of
the shareholders.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3 of this Article, each
officer shall hold office until the first meeting of the Board of Directors
following the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor has
been elected or appointed and qualified.

SECTION 3.  Removal

  Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be
removed by the Board of Directors with or without cause, but such removal shall
be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. 
The election or appointment of an officer shall not of itself create contract
rights.

SECTION 4.  New Offices and Vacancies

resignation, removal, disqualification or otherwise, may be filled from time to
time by the Board of Directors for the unexpired portion of the term.

SECTION 6.  Chairman of the Board

incident to the office of chief executive officer.  He shall, when present,
preside at all meetings of the shareholders and of the Board of Directors.  He
may sign, with the secretary or any other proper officer of the corporation
thereunto authorized by the Board of Directors, certificates representing
shares of the corporation, any deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts or other
instruments which the Board of Directors has authorized to be executed, except
in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be expressly delegated
by the Board of Directors or by these Bylaws to some other officer or agent of
the corporation, or shall be required by law to be otherwise signed or
executed; and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board
of Directors from time to time.

SECTION 7.  President

  The president shall be the chief operating officer of the corporation and,
subject to the control of the Board of Directors and the chairman of the board
(if he is the CEO), shall direct the conduct and operation of the business and
properties of the corporation.  If so designated by the Board of Directors, he
shall also be the chief executive officer of the corporation and shall perform
all duties incident to that office.  He shall, in the absence of the chairman
of the board, preside at all meetings of the shareholders and of the Board of
Directors.  He may sign, with the secretary or any other proper officer of the
corporation thereunto authorized by the Board of Directors, certificates
representing shares of the corporation, any deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts
or other instruments which the Board of Directors has authorized to be
executed, except in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be
expressly delegated by the Board of Directors or by these Bylaws to some other
officer or agent of the corporation, or shall be required by law to be
otherwise signed or executed; and shall perform such other duties as may be
prescribed by the Board of Directors from time to time.

SECTION 8.  Vice President

the event of the death or inability to act of the executive vice president, the
vice president designated by the Board of Directors, if any, or if none, the
vice president having the greatest seniority) shall perform the duties of the
chairman of the board and the president, and when so acting shall have the
authority of and be subject to all the restrictions upon the chairman of the
board and the president.  Any vice president may sign, with the secretary or
any other proper officer of the corporation thereunto authorized by the Board
of Directors, certificates representing shares of the corporation; and shall
perform such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him by the
chairman of the board (if he is the CEO) or by the president or by the Board of
Directors.

SECTION 9.  Secretary

  The secretary shall: 1) keep the minutes of the proceedings of its
shareholders, Board of Directors and executive committee and other committees,
if any, in one or more books provided for that purpose; 2) see that all notices
are duly given in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws or as required
