STATEMENTS OF OLD FRIENDS.

Dr. sydney A. Corey, an Old mend and as
socain Of the Commodore. asked by InIBrNE re-
porter last evening what his opinion OF the Com
rnolorc. w He said that he present nj the rcad-
ing of the will and It's contents, and was Of the
ouuiou that ii was Il document made NTH the great
saeacity and foresight which characterized AL the ac
tons Of the Commodore. Those who were ac-
auainted with linn know that he was always
man Of frugal habits. Ills daily ZIG was a.
plain a. that of person Of moderate means ana M
table was spread with ordinary fare He thought that
all other persons ought be Of the mind and in
the distribution Of his money left a ccmpeehcy 70 oil
those WHO were closely related him In criticsng the
will the community will he apt to think that there Is too
great o discrepancy between The amounts given 10 hi
dug hters and his Cornelius, compared with what
left TO his son william, and although there IL vast
difference the reason IL easily explained. Commodore
Vanderbilt amassed colossal fortune, Of nm almost
fabulous amount, and constructed a gigantic work
in his railroads Is great aim was then
IN perpetuate both OF tlese-te fortune aud the rail-
roads II he had divided the fortune and the railroad
stock equally among his children II woIld make num-
her Of branches and in time not far distant the
road would TO be under bc supreme control OF
Vanderbilt name. II necessary for him 10 leave the
bulk OF is fortune 10 the GOD who was now at the head
OF the railroads. because IL required the OF large
amount Of money properly 10 control them He had
only two sous one without children and the other with
large family and Of course he chose the latter.
In regard 10 the feeling OF the children, which, Dr.
Corey remarked was a very delicate subject TO speak Of,
there was no doubt that William would prefer TO see the
bulk OF the fortune divided among all tho children, H. of
the same time the fathers idea could be carried out lie
was a bg-hearted man. and was known as such
among all who his acqurintances. He was.
Of course, the fayorite child. aud knew well
