1Opinion of the CourtShientag, J.
This is an action in equity to enjoin the defendants from publishing and distributing a magazine called World’s Fair News, and from using the name “ World’s Pair ” in connection with that publication or in the name of the corporate defendant.
The action was commenced August 1, 1936, soon after the publication of the July issue of World’s Fair News, that being the first issue of the magazine published by the defendants. In effect the suit is one to protect the plaintiff’s name against imitation by the defendants in a manner likely to lead to confusion in the minds of the public.
