nett's eyes. He is accordingly having .
new steam yacht built at Newburgh on the
Hudson, which will certainly be the largest
and probably the fastest yacht in the world.
Mr.. Bennett will make Q tour around
the world.
MI. Benefits stables are as much an OBJ
ject Of his pride as his house and his yacht.
The stables OF his own grounds are not
large enough to accommodate his horses
and carriages, and he has been compelled
to rent two others in the immediate vicinity. |
His eight polo ponies take up q good deal
Of room as well as q good deal Of the atten-
ton Of their wne Besides these, which
he occasionally uses for other purposes than
polo, as the freak may seize him, there are
carria2e-horses. Of various sizes and
ranging from large coach horses to
for phaetons. He has also every con.
ceivable sort of carriage, ranging from the
coach, to be drawn by four or six horses,
down to the daintiest little village cart.
These expensive turnouts are not often seen
however. Mr.. BENEFITS ordinary means Of
conveyance around town is q village cart,
which he drives himself. He is seldom
accompanied by servant. 1 imagine it ]

find some more comfortable vehicle for my
every day riding than q village cart. I don't

last winter, and was new to me when I ar
rived at Newport, although the people as
sure me that it has been the ordinary single
carriage here for years. I'll is simply q d.
minutive dog cart, implanted, two-wheeled,
with two seats, facingfore and aft. and verv
uncomfortable. L las the graceful, must

backache if you ride far in it.
It is q great mistake to suppose that MIR.
Bennett has no active share in the manage
ment Of the Herald, simply because he
spends almost all Of his time away from
New York. I doubt whether there is q
newspaper proprietor or editor-in- chief in
the country who keeps SO close q watch oil
his journal affairs as Mr.. Bennett does. he
is in constant receipt of kilograms from
the home Office aud directs all the impor1
tant moves which the paper takes. He geta
up very early indeed for q man of conviv-
ial habits and devotes a large part Of the
day to the HerGld's business. Messengers
are continually running back ana forth be-
tween his house and the telegraph Office. I'll
requires a horse and wagon to bring up his|
daily maiE from the post Office. Every day
at the Herald Office there is q consultation
of editors, and at that consultation some
word is received from Mr.. Bennett by tele !
graph, whether he is in Newport, in Paris,
IN Pau or in Africa.
Every night before he goes to bed bel
knows what the tone of the Herald's edi7
torial comments will be in the morning. I'D
has a private secretary constantly with HIM
who frequently writes editorials at lis die
tation or in obedience to his suggestions
and telegraphs them to the Herald. Every
day, moreover, a copy Of the Herald id
sent to Mr.. Bennett, which has the name of
the writer Of every article in the paper
from leading editorial down to the smallest
with a blue pencil. He knows who every
man at work in the Herald Office is and
just what he does, and he is quick to rec
| ognize good work. HIS quick reproof fol-
lows any Negligence or bad work, but that
he is not q hard taskmaster is shown by the
fact that nj est of his men have been q long
time in his service. The Herald often
bears the impress Of Mr.. Benefits lido
syncrasies. but no one can deny that on the
whole the concern is very. successfully
managed. Its income has greatly increased
since the eel Mr.. Bennett died, whether
its influence has been extended or not. The
revenue is the criterion Of success in news
paper manage ment, after all.
It is another mis- take to suppose That Mr.
Bennett SO uanders his money. Though hi
income is alrea dy somewhere between
$75O,O00 and $500, 900 per year, he is regu.
larly increasing it. His investment in TIT
Newport Casino is an instance of his man.

which the people here praised him for since
it made the construction of this wonderful
pleasure resort possible, and one which al.
so paid him well, since he gets six per cent
interest on the money and has it well Sc

lishments at London, Paris and Pau q
we'll as at Newport, and Esaintains eacl

all his income. His condition, then. &C
cording to Mr.. Micawber, must be happy.
