Rich Mems An,usements.

A Correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record writing from New York city,
tells how some rich Gothamites amuse
themselves:
Some years ago I sat one evening
reading a volume of Prescotts histories
in the library Of rich Wall street man,
who was bank president at thirty,
when he came in and asked me il
| really enjoyed reading such books. He
added that he found il impossible to in
terest himself in any OF the hundreds Of
volumes he had purchased, though no
had tried hard TO do so. "When ] take
them up" he said, u bee nothing but
rows Of stock quotations on every page.
This gentleman died at forty, and
left large fortune as the price of
his life fortune which his family has
since dissipated Had he had anything
to occupy his mind outside Of his Office
and when he left Wall street he might
have lived to enjoy the pleasure Of
spending the million he had made In
almost every case some special amuse-
ment or point of relaxation is sanitary
necessity for the business man whose
brain is racked by the concentrated
pressure of his six hours Of daily "street"
labor Jay Gould is a diligent reader
of books and a cultivator Of exotics.
Vanderbilt never opens a book, but his
horses and stables serve to freshen up
his intellect. John Jacob Aston climbs
to the top of his house and in secluded
sanctum hammers away at some me-
chanical inventions that are to reyolu-
tionize the industrial world that is to
say, if they are ever perfected.
