SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Hasbro, Inc., Common Stock, Par Value $.50 per 
Share, and Related Preference Share Purchase Rights), File No. 1-6682

July 7, 1999.
    Hasbro, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the securities specified 
above (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The Securities have been listed for trading on the Amex and, 
pursuant to Registration Statements on Form 8-A filed with the 
Commission which became effective on June 9, 1999, on the New York 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). Trading in the Securities on the NYSE 
commenced at the opening of business on June 23, 1999.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the Amex by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the 
Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its 
Securities from listing on the Exchange and by setting forth in detail 
to the Amex the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts in 
support thereof. The Amex has in turn informed the Company that it 
would not interpose any objection to the withdrawal of the Company's 
Securities from listing on the Exchange.
    In making the decision to withdraw its Securities from listing on 
the Amex, the Company considered it expedient to avoid the direct and 
indirect costs and the division of the market which might result from 
listing the Securities simultaneously on the Amex and the NYSE.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on the Amex and shall have no effect upon the 
continued listing of the Securities on the NYSE. Moreover, by reason of 
Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the 
Commission thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to 
file reports under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the 
NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 28, 1999, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the 
Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on 
the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
