Dir. Sullivan worked on one of the Long

night down under the sternpost. He bor-
rowed one of the electric drop lamps from

shone just as brightly down under twenty
feet of water as it did in the gilded saloon
of the steamer. Fish came up in swarms,
like moths around a candle, and smelled of

1t is singular that JUS as Saratoga loses
the Vanderbilts she gains Gould. 1.-THE
old Commodore,n as the elder Vanderbilt
is always called, and civilian H. )" as the
late president of tie New York Central is
invariably referred to, appeared at Sara
toga as regularly as the season came round.
Their heirs have cut the sprilgs and spend
the summer at Newport and other resorts.
The old Commodore" was a great man
to sit on the veranda and talk with any,
body and everybody. An old-timer says
he once sat in group which included 1.-The
old c }mmodore" and William II. Seward,
who so narrowly missed the Presidency in
1860. They were talking about money
making. Commodore, asked Mr.. Seward,
you are not always successful in your
business plans, are you!"
NO." replied Mr.. Vanderbilt, with ex-
treme franknesS. Sometimes l lose $50
900 or $4,000 or 100000, but generally
come out leetle ahead at the end of the
year.
Another veteran of thirty Saratoga
seasons tells this: 81 have often heard
Vanderbilt say that he made his great for

had only SIS 000,0 900 or SIC, 900, 900 when he
was 65. His first big hit was the purchase
of the Harlem road. That doubled his for
tune. Then he bought tie Hudson river
aud Central, and doubled another. And
finally he took In the Lake Shore and Mich
igan Southern and his western property,
and doubled his estate the third time Thus,
when he was at the age when most men are
thinking of making their wills, his estate
jumped from S15,G00,O00 to $4,000, 900 by
the purchase of the Harlem, from $780,
100000 to $60,000,0OO by the purchase of
the Hudson river, and from $50, coo, 600 to
$4,000, 900 by the purchase of the Lake
Shore. That is the whole secret of the
building up of the wonderful Vanderbilt
fortune. But the heirs have shown a bet

was expected. There isn't one of the

The family cat is regarded with far
greater respect in England than America.
Every householder in New York when he
