JAS. GORDON BENNETT JR.
Some Remarkable Doin9s OF Thii
Notorious Person.

Some Remarkable DoinGs of This
Notorious Person.
Bennett is now abroad in his steam
yacht Namonau. His extraordinary per-
formances Of late have produced q sensa-
ton, and have been facetiously ascribed to
the celebrating qualities Of French air.
He has recently been trying to entertain
his friends by playing on them with a FIRE
hose. On more than one occasion he has
insisted on the whole crew getting roaring
drunk or else suffer instant dismissal. On
a certain New Years night in New York
City, Bennett arrived at the Union Club,
after having made many calls. As he
threw himself into q chair he observed
that the members were presenting Peter,
the venerable porter Of the club. with SIS
bills as New Years presents. He called
Peter over to him, then fishing out a bill
and without looking at it said: "Peter,
my friend, take that Thank you," said
Peter as he saw it was a $40 bill. After
brought forth another bill. saying Take
that. Peter" This went on for about ten
minutes, when the astonished Peter at
tempted to retire. Bennett called him
back. He was presented with every kind
Of a bill from 81 to $50. Finally Bennett
stopped, and Peter, with his hat full of
money, retired. He was advised to ask
Bennett the next time he came to the club
if he hadn't given him by mistake more
than he had intended. So next day Peter
said to him. "Mr. Bennett, l think you
gave me more Of Q New Years present than
you intended last night" Bennett looked
at him for a few seconds. He had no
recollection of having given him anything.
"How much did l give you, Peter ?"
"About 81 800" The position, though a
delicate one, was not serious to a man
with an income of a million q year. THAT
was the amount l intended for you, Peter"
